                      PAN PACIFIC RETAIL PROPERTIES, INC.
                                  Common Stock
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Pan Pacific Retail Properties, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-administered and
self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") engaged in owning and
operating community and neighborhood shopping centers predominantly located in
four key western U.S. markets. Since its initial public offering in August 1997,
the Company has acquired 17 shopping centers encompassing over two million
square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). The Company currently owns 42
shopping centers (the "Properties"), of which 38 are located in the western
U.S., including 18 in California (9 in Northern California, 9 in Southern
California), 14 in the Pacific Northwest and 6 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The
Properties encompass approximately 5.7 million square feet of GLA, have an
average age of approximately eight years and, as of December 31, 1997, were
96.1% leased to a diverse mix of over 900 tenants.
 
Pursuant to its participation rights in connection with issuances of common
stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), Pan Pacific
Development (U.S.) Inc., a Delaware corporation and an affiliate of the Company
("PPD"), will privately purchase 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock from the
Company, at the same price per share as the Price to Public set forth below,
concurrently with the completion of the offering of shares to the public (the
"Offering") as described in this Prospectus.
 
All of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby are being sold by the Company.
As a result of the percentage of the outstanding shares of Common Stock owned by
certain insiders and to assist the Company in complying with certain
qualification requirements applicable to REITs, the Company's charter provides
that no stockholder may own more than 6.25% of the outstanding Common Stock,
subject to certain specified exceptions. See "Description of Capital
Stock--Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer."
 
   
The Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the
symbol "PNP." On May 12, 1998, the last reported sales price of the Common Stock
on the NYSE was $21.1875 per share. See "Price Range of Common Stock and
Distribution History."
    
 
SEE "RISK FACTORS" ON PAGES 12 TO 22 FOR A DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN MATERIAL
FACTORS WHICH SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN CONNECTION WITH AN INVESTMENT IN THE
COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY, INCLUDING:

    - Demand for shopping center space in the Company's markets may decrease;
      the Company's ability to attract and retain tenants may be adversely
      affected; economic and other conditions may adversely affect shopping
      center property cash flows.
 
    - The lack of operating history of newly acquired properties under the
      management of the Company and the potential that these acquired properties
      may not perform as well as expected or may have deficiencies currently
      unknown to the Company.
 
    - The influence on the Company of certain affiliates of the Company may not
      be consistent with the interests of other stockholders.
 
    - The possibility that the Company may be unable to refinance debt upon
      maturity, that indebtedness might be financed or refinanced on less
      favorable terms, and that interest rates may increase on variable rate
      indebtedness; and the absence of limitations in the Company's
      organizational documents on the amount of indebtedness that the Company
      may incur.
 
    - Taxation of the Company as a corporation if it fails to qualify as a REIT
      for federal income tax purposes.
 
    - Distribution requirements under federal income tax laws may limit the
      Company's ability to finance future developments, acquisitions and
      expansions without additional debt or equity financing necessary to
      achieve the Company's business plan.

                                  THE COMPANY
 
     The Company is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment
trust ("REIT") engaged in owning, acquiring, managing, leasing and developing
community and neighborhood shopping centers predominantly located in four key
western U.S. markets. Since the closing of its initial public offering on August
13, 1997 (the "IPO"), the Company has invested $202.7 million in acquiring 17
additional community and neighborhood shopping center properties (collectively,
the "Acquired Properties"), increasing its portfolio of shopping center
properties from the initial 25 Properties (collectively, the "Initial
Properties") to 42 Properties (collectively, the "Properties").
 
     The Properties are well established community and neighborhood shopping
centers which are generally strategically situated in densely populated, middle
and upper income markets, are conveniently located and easily accessible from
major transportation arterials. The Properties consist of an aggregate of
approximately 5.7 million square feet of GLA (not including 965,503 square feet
of anchor-owned space at the Properties) and have an average age of
approximately eight years. Eighteen of the Properties (39.0% of the total GLA)
are located in California with nine Properties located in Northern California
(21.2% of the total GLA) and nine Properties located in Southern California
(17.8% of the total GLA). Fourteen of the Properties are located in the Pacific
Northwest (32.4% of the total GLA), with seven located in Washington (17.0% of
the total GLA), predominantly within the Seattle area, and seven located in
Oregon (15.4% of the total GLA), predominantly within the Portland area. Six of
the Properties are located in Las Vegas, Nevada (23.7% of the total GLA) and the
remaining four Properties (4.9% of the total GLA) are located in New Mexico,
Tennessee, Kentucky and Florida. As of December 31, 1997, the Properties were
96.1% leased to 904 tenants, of which 83.0% was leased to national and regional
retailers (401 tenants and 104 tenants, respectively). Twenty-nine of the
Properties contain grocery stores such as Albertson's, Kroger, Food-4-Less,
Vons, Safeway, and Lucky Stores. Management intends to continue its strategy of
acquiring shopping centers that are consistent with its existing portfolio in
terms of quality, tenant diversity and location, and that provide the
opportunity to expand within the Company's four key western U.S. markets or to
establish a presence in targeted markets with favorable economic and demographic
characteristics.
 
     The Company operates from its Vista, California headquarters and four
regional offices located in Las Vegas, Nevada; Kent, Washington; Chino,
California; and Sacramento, California. The Company is a fully-integrated real
estate company with 71 employees, as of March 31, 1998, with in-house expertise
in property management, leasing, acquisitions, development, administration,
accounting services and architectural design. The nine members of the Company's
senior management (including its five executive officers) have an average of
approximately 13 years of experience in the real estate industry. See
"Management--Directors and Executive Officers."

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
     An investment in the Common Stock involves various material risks, and
prospective investors should carefully consider the matters discussed under
"Risk Factors" prior to an investment in the Company. Such risks include, among
others:
 
     O demand for shopping center space in the Company's markets may decrease;
       the Company may be unable to re-let space upon lease expirations or to
       pay renovation and reletting costs in connection therewith; economic and
       other conditions may affect shopping center property cash flows and
       values; tenants may be unable to make lease payments or may become
       bankrupt; a property may not generate revenue sufficient to meet
       operating expenses, including future debt service; and real estate
       investments are generally illiquid. The foregoing may adversely affect
       the Company's ability to make expected distributions to stockholders;
 
     O properties acquired by the Company may not perform as well as expected;
       these acquired properties may have characteristics or deficiencies
       unknown to the Company affecting their valuation or revenue potential;
       the cost of integrating these acquired properties into the Company's
       existing management structure may be greater than expected;
 
     O dependence on key management personnel, whose continued service is not
       guaranteed;
 
     O influence of certain affiliates of the Company (including PPD) on the
       Company may not be consistent with the interests of other stockholders;
 
     O real estate financing risks, including the possibility that the Company
       may not be able to refinance outstanding indebtedness upon maturity
       (including debt outstanding under the Company's $200 million unsecured
       acquisition credit facility (the "Unsecured Credit Facility") which
       matures in August 2000) or that such indebtedness might be refinanced at
       higher interest rates or otherwise on terms less favorable to the Company
       than existing indebtedness, which could adversely affect the Company's
       ability to make expected distributions to stockholders and its ability to
       qualify as a REIT;
 
     O taxation of the Company as a corporation if it fails to qualify as a REIT
       for federal income tax purposes, the Company's liability for certain
       federal, state and local income taxes in such event and the resulting
       reduction in net earnings of the Company available for distribution to
       stockholders;
 
     O if the Company is unable to close a significant number of potential
       acquisitions or to locate additional available acquisitions after the
       Offering, the Company's ability to increase distributable cash flow per
       share could be adversely affected;
 
     O distribution requirements of REITs under federal income tax laws may
       limit the Company's ability to finance future acquisitions, developments
       and expansions without additional debt or equity financing necessary to
       achieve the Company's business plan, which in turn may adversely affect
       the price of the Common Stock and may limit cash available for
       distribution;
 
     O possible environmental liabilities in connection with the Company's
       ownership or operation of the Properties, as well as the cost of
       compliance with certain governmental regulations which may negatively
       affect the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash
       available for distribution;
 
     O absence of a limitation in the organizational documents of the Company on
       the amount of indebtedness that the Company may incur;
 
     O potential anti-takeover effects of provisions generally limiting, subject
       to certain exceptions, the actual or constructive ownership of capital
       stock of the Company by any one person or entity to 6.25% of the total
       outstanding shares of capital stock and of certain other provisions
       contained in the organizational documents of the Company, which may
       discourage a change in control and limit the opportunity for stockholders
       to receive a premium for their Common Stock over then-prevailing market
       prices; and
 
     O certain types of losses, such as from fire, earthquakes, and floods, may
       be uninsured or may exceed the Company's insurance coverage.

                  ACTIVITIES SINCE THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
 
COMPLETED ACQUISITIONS
 
     Since the completion of the IPO on August 13, 1997, the Company has
invested $202.7 million in acquiring the 17 Acquired Properties which encompass
approximately 2.0 million square feet of GLA (not including 340,879 square feet
of anchor-owned space) representing a 57.3% increase in the Company's total GLA.
Capitalizing on its regional infrastructure and industry contacts, the Company
has increased its presence in all of its key western U.S. markets, with a focus
on significantly increasing its presence in California and the Pacific Northwest
in order to balance and optimize the Company's overall geographic
diversification. Of the 17 Acquired Properties, 16 are located in California and
the Pacific Northwest (3 in Northern California, 3 in Southern California and 10
in the Pacific Northwest) and one property is located in Las Vegas, Nevada. As
of December 31, 1997, the Acquired Properties have an average age of
approximately nine years and were 94.1% leased to a diverse mix of 275 tenants.
 
     The Company continues to focus on acquiring properties that are consistent
with its existing portfolio. The acquisitions are generally well-located in
demographically strong, densely populated markets and cater to the daily needs
of the surrounding communities. Thirteen of the Acquired Properties are
grocery-anchored. As of December 31, 1997, 82.8% of the total GLA at the
Acquired Properties was leased to a diverse mix of national and regional
retailers, and 60.8% was leased to anchor tenants generally pursuant to
long-term leases (only 39.2% of the anchor-leased GLA at the Acquired Properties
is scheduled to expire within the next 10 years).

     The Company believes that its regional infrastructure as well as the depth
and experience of management has enabled it to quickly and efficiently integrate
the Acquired Properties into the portfolio. In addition, the Company intends to
aggressively pursue maximizing the cash flow from the Acquired Properties by
utilizing its in-house leasing programs to lease available space and to release
expiring space at higher rental rates as market conditions improve, and by
utilizing its regional property management infrastructure to reduce property
operating expenses through achieving economies of scale.
 
DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY
 
     Since the IPO, the Company has completed the development of Phase II of
Laguna Village which represents over 60,000 square feet of additional retail
space. The Company believes the rapid residential growth in the community of
Laguna Creek in southern Sacramento, California, where Laguna Village is
located, has created significant demand for local retail, services, restaurants
and entertainment. Therefore, the Company continues to pursue the development of
Laguna Village based on its belief that this market has an undersupply of
entertainment, recreation and food services. With the completion of Phase II,
Laguna Village now totals 108,203 square feet and as of December 31, 1997 was
91.5% leased to 10 tenants including United Artist Theatres and 24 Hour Fitness.
The Company is currently pursuing the development of Phase III of Laguna Village
which, upon completion, will encompass approximately 12,000 square feet of
retail space.
 
     Including Phase III of Laguna Village, the Company has buildout and
expansion development opportunities at eight Properties within its current
portfolio, representing an aggregate of approximately 90,000 square feet of new
retail space. These development opportunities are mainly comprised of outparcel
sites. The Company pursues buildout and expansion opportunities when they are
substantially pre-leased and after management has considered other factors such
as market conditions and retailing trends. The Company is currently undertaking
development projects at Winterwood Pavilion, Canyon Ridge Plaza and Country Club
Center, which total approximately 32,500 square feet of new space and are
scheduled to be completed during 1998. Recently, the Company completed a 3,200
square foot building on an outparcel pad at each of Brookvale Shopping Center
and Olympia Square.
 
LEASING ACTIVITY
 
     Capitalizing on its aggressive property management and in-house leasing
programs, as well as improving market conditions in its key western U.S.
markets, the Company has increased the occupancy of its portfolio from 95.9% at
December 31, 1996 to 96.1% at December 31, 1997. In addition, through its
leasing activities, the Company continues to achieve growth in rental rates on
new or renewed leases over the rental rates of expiring leases. In 1997, the
Company entered into 148 new and renewed leases aggregating 426,557 square feet
at an average annual base rent of $14.81 per square foot, an increase of 14.2%
over expiring rents.
 
FINANCING ACTIVITY
 
   
     The Company's financing strategy is to maintain a conservative and flexible
capital structure in order to facilitate the Company's growth strategies and to
maximize long term stockholder value. Upon the completion of the Offering and
the exercise of PPD's participation rights, the Company will have a debt to
total market capitalization of 29.8% (29.2% if the Underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full and PPD exercises its additional participation
rights in full) with debt comprised of approximately $107.6 million of fixed
rate, long term mortgage debt with an average interest rate of 8.07% and a
weighted average maturity of 7.4 years, and an estimated $79.4 million of
variable rate debt under the Unsecured Credit Facility. In addition, the Company
has increased the percentage of unencumbered Properties in its portfolio from
72.0% at the time of the IPO (18 of 25 Properties) to 78.6% (33 of 42
Properties). For the quarter ended December 31, 1997, the Company maintained a
3.8 to 1 interest coverage ratio.
    
 
     In March 1998, the Company obtained an increase to its Unsecured Credit
Facility from $150 million to $200 million and a reduction in the borrowing rate
thereunder from LIBOR plus 1.50% to LIBOR plus 1.375% (which rate spread is
reduced to 1.25% for as long as the Company's debt-to-book value ratio is .30 or
below). Upon the completion of the Offering and the exercise of PPD's
participation rights, the Company will
 
                                        5
<PAGE>   10
 
   
have approximately $79.4 million outstanding under the Unsecured Credit Facility
with approximately $120.6 million available to fund future acquisitions. The
Unsecured Credit Facility, which matures in August 2000, is syndicated to a
group of six banks including Bank of America NT&SA (lead agent), U.S. Bank,
KeyBank, Bank of Nova Scotia, First Union Bank and Sanwa Bank California.
    
 
RESULTS OF FIRST QUARTER 1998
 
     During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company's net income was
approximately $5.4 million, or $0.32 per share, from revenue of approximately
$17.4 million and Funds from Operations (as defined herein) of approximately
$8.7 million. This compares to net income of approximately $5.2 million, or
$0.31 per share, from revenue of approximately $14.5 million and Funds from
Operations of approximately $7.8 million for the three months ended December 31,
1997. The number of weighted average shares outstanding was the same for both
periods.
 
                         BUSINESS AND GROWTH STRATEGIES
 
     The Company's business and growth strategies involve three fundamental
practices: (i) owning, operating, acquiring, expanding and developing shopping
centers in select key markets with strong economic and demographic
characteristics in order to establish and maintain a portfolio of real estate
assets with stable income and the potential for long-term growth; (ii)
developing local and regional market expertise through the hands-on
participation of senior management in property operations and leasing in order
to capitalize on market trends, retailing trends and acquisition opportunities;
and (iii) establishing and maintaining a diversified and complementary tenant
mix with an emphasis on tenants that provide day-to-day consumer necessities in
order to provide steady rental revenue.
 
     The Company will continue to focus its acquisition activities primarily
within its four key markets (Northern California, Southern California, the
Pacific Northwest and Las Vegas, Nevada) each of which the Company believes
continues to exhibit attractive economic and demographic characteristics. The
Company believes that significant opportunities exist within these markets to
acquire shopping center properties that are consistent with its existing
portfolio in terms of quality of construction, positive submarket demographics
and location attributes and that provide attractive initial capitalization rates
with potential for growth in cash flow. The Company further believes it has
certain competitive advantages which enhance its ability to identify and
capitalize on acquisition opportunities, including: (i) long-standing
relationships with institutional and other owners of shopping center properties
in the Company's four primary regions; (ii) fully integrated real estate
operations which enable the Company to respond quickly to acquisition
opportunities and to capitalize on the resulting economies of scale; and (iii)
access to capital as a public company.
 
     Although the Company believes that current market conditions generally
favor acquisitions, management intends to continue its practice of redeveloping
and expanding properties as market and retailing trends evolve. In addition, the
Company intends to continue developing quality shopping center properties when
it believes market conditions and tenant opportunities support favorable
risk-adjusted returns.
 
     The Company also seeks to maximize the cash flow from its portfolio by
continuing to enhance the operating performance of each property through its
in-house leasing and property management programs. The Company aggressively
pursues: (i) the leasing of available space; (ii) the renewal or releasing of
expiring leases at higher rental rates; and (iii) economies of scale in the
management and leasing of properties that may be realized by focusing its
acquisition and development activities within its four primary regions.
Management believes that maintaining high occupancy rates, renewing and
replacing tenants and increasing base rents are critical measures of management
and leasing performance. Since December 31, 1993, the Company has maintained a
year-end portfolio occupancy rate ranging from 92.8% to 96.1% for the Properties
owned at such dates. During the past three years, the Company has renewed or
released 1,148,218 square feet involving 369 lease transactions, and average
base rents per square foot from such leasing activity increased from $11.52 in
1994 to $13.09 in 1995, to $14.74 in 1996 and to $14.81 in 1997.

                                 DISTRIBUTIONS
 
     The Company currently pays regular quarterly distributions to holders of
the Common Stock. The first distribution, for the period from the completion of
the IPO through September 30, 1997, was $.2128 per share, which is equivalent to
a quarterly distribution rate of $.3625 per share and an annual distribution
rate of $1.45 per share. On January 19, 1998, the Company paid a distribution of
$.3625 per share for the fourth quarter of 1997 to stockholders of record on
December 29, 1997. On March 17, 1998, the Company declared an increased
distribution of $.38 per share for the first quarter of 1998, which is
equivalent to an annual distribution rate of $1.52 per share, payable on April
17, 1998 to stockholders of record on March 31, 1998. Future distributions by
the Company will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend
on the actual cash available for distribution, the Company's financial condition
and capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT
provisions of the Code (see "Federal Income Tax Consequences--Taxation of the
Company"), economic conditions and such other factors as the Board of Directors
deems relevant. See "Risk Factors--Changes in Policies Without Stockholder
Approval."
 
                           TAX STATUS OF THE COMPANY
 
     The Company will elect to be treated as a REIT under Section 856(c)(1) of
the Code commencing with its short taxable year ended December 31, 1997. Also,
commencing with its short taxable year ended December 31, 1997 and for all
taxable years thereafter, the Company has operated, and intends to continue to
operate, so as to qualify to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860
of the Code. The Company believes its organization and method of operation will
enable it to continue to meet the requirements for qualification as a REIT. To
maintain REIT status, an entity must meet a number of organizational and
operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute
at least 95% of its REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the
dividends paid deduction and by excluding net capital gains) to its
stockholders. See "Federal Income Tax Consequences--Taxation of the
Company--Annual Distribution Requirements." As a REIT, the Company generally
will not be subject to federal income tax on net income it distributes currently
to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable
year, it will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates and
may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. See
"Federal Income Tax Consequences" and "Risk Factors--Adverse Consequences of
Failure to Qualify as a REIT; Other Tax Liabilities." Even if the Company
qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain federal,
state and local taxes on its income and property.

(4) The White Paper on Funds from Operations approved by the Board of Governors
    of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") in
    March 1995 (the "White Paper") defines Funds from Operations as net income
    (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from
    debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related
    depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated
    partnerships and joint ventures. Management considers Funds from Operations
    an appropriate measure of performance of an equity REIT because it is
    predicated on cash flow analyses. The Company computes Funds from Operations
    in accordance with standards established by the White Paper. The Company's
    computation of Funds from Operations may, however, differ from methodology
    for calculating Funds from Operations utilized by other equity REITs and,
    therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Funds from Operations
    should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in
    accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company's financial performance
    or to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with
    GAAP) as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds
    available to fund the Company's cash needs, including its ability to make
    distributions.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
     An investment in the shares of Common Stock involves various risks.
Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors in
conjunction with the other information contained in this Prospectus before
making a decision to purchase shares of Common Stock in the Offering.
 
     This Prospectus contains statements which constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
When used in this Prospectus, the words "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate,"
"continue," "estimate," "project," "intend" and similar expressions are intended
to identify forward-looking statements regarding events, conditions and
financial trends that may affect the Company's future plans of operations,
business strategy, results of operations and financial position. Prospective
investors are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees
of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties, and that
actual results may differ materially from those included within the
forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Factors that could
cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those
described below, under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
     REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT ASSOCIATED RISKS.
 
     Real Estate Ownership Risks. Real property investments are subject to
varying degrees of risk. The yields available from equity investments in real
estate depend in large part on the amount of income generated and expenses
incurred. If the Properties do not generate revenue sufficient to meet operating
expenses, including debt service, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and
other capital expenditures, the Company may have to borrow additional amounts to
cover fixed costs, and the Company's cash flow and ability to make distributions
to its stockholders will be adversely affected.
 
     The Company's revenue and the value of its Properties may be adversely
affected by a number of factors, including the national economic climate; the
local economic climate; local real estate conditions; changes in retail
expenditures by consumers; the perceptions of prospective tenants of the
attractiveness of the property; the ability of the Company to manage and
maintain the Properties and secure adequate insurance; and increased operating
costs (including real estate taxes and utilities). In addition, real estate
values and income from properties are also affected by such factors as
applicable laws, including tax laws, interest rate levels and the availability
of financing.
 
     Potential Inability of Company to Retain Tenants and Relet Space. The
Company will be subject to the risks that upon expiration, leases may not be
renewed, the space may not be relet or the terms of renewal or reletting
(including the cost of required renovations) may be less favorable than current
lease terms. Leases covering a total of approximately 5.7% and 37.7% of the
leased GLA of the Properties will expire through the end of 1998 and 2002,
respectively. The Company budgets for renovation and reletting expenses, which
take into consideration its views of both the current and expected market
conditions in the geographic regions in which the Properties are located, but no
assurance can be given that these reserves will be sufficient to cover such
costs. If the Company is unable to promptly relet or renew leases for all or a
substantial portion of this space, if the rental rates upon such renewal or
reletting are significantly lower than expected or if the Company's reserves for
these purposes prove inadequate, the Company's cash flow and ability to make
expected distributions to stockholders could be adversely affected. The ability
of the Company to rent unleased space may also be affected by many factors,
including certain use covenants restricting the nature of tenants occupying
other space at a Property often found in leases and reciprocal easement
agreements or other restrictive covenants relating to the Property with tenants
or other owners or occupants of the Property. In addition, in the event of a
default by a lessee or sublessee in its obligations to the Company, the Company
may experience delays in enforcing its rights as lessor or sublessor and may
incur substantial costs and experience significant delays associated with
protecting its investment, including costs incurred in acquiring and making
substantial improvements or repairs to a Property.
 
     Dependence on Market Conditions in the Geographic Regions. Nine Properties
are located in Northern California, nine Properties are located in Southern
California, fourteen are located in the Pacific Northwest
                                       12
<PAGE>   17
 
and six are located in Las Vegas, Nevada. To the extent that general economic or
other relevant conditions in these regions decline and result in a decrease in
consumer demand in these regions, the Company's performance may be adversely
affected. The markets for certain Properties are also significantly dependent on
the financial results of major local employers and on industry concentrations.
 
     Tenant Early Termination Rights. Certain leases at some of the Properties
have provisions which allow the lessee to terminate its lease prior to the end
of the original term thereof under certain conditions, including, for example,
the failure to achieve a stated minimum sales level, the failure to achieve or
maintain a stated minimum leasing level, or the closing of an anchor store and
its failure to reopen within a certain period of time. To the extent that any
tenants terminate their leases prior to the end of the original lease terms,
tenant occupancy may decrease. The failure of the Company to re-lease any of the
Company's space could materially affect the Company's revenues and its ability
to make distributions.
 
     Potential Illiquidity of Real Estate. Equity real estate investments are
relatively illiquid. Such illiquidity will tend to limit the ability of the
Company to vary its portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or
other conditions. In addition, the Code limits a REIT's ability to sell
properties held for fewer than four years, which may affect the Company's
ability to sell properties without adversely affecting returns to holders of
Common Stock.
 
     Competition With Other Developers and Real Estate Companies. There are
numerous commercial developers and real estate companies that compete with the
Company in seeking land for development, properties for acquisition and tenants
for properties. There are numerous shopping facilities that compete with the
Properties in attracting retailers to lease space. In addition, retailers at the
Properties face increasing competition from outlet stores, discount shopping
clubs, and other forms of marketing of goods, such as direct mail, internet
advertising and telemarketing. Such competition may reduce the number of
properties available for acquisition or development, reduce percentage rents
payable to the Company and may, through the introduction of competition,
contribute to lease defaults or insolvency of tenants. Thus, competition could
materially affect the Company's ability to generate net income and to make
distributions to its stockholders.
 
     Cost of Compliance With Changes in Laws. Because increases in income,
service or transfer taxes are generally not passed through to tenants under
leases, such increases may adversely affect the Company's cash flow and its
ability to make distributions to stockholders. The Properties are also subject
to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements, such as
requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "ADA") and
state and local fire and life safety requirements. Failure to comply with these
requirements could result in the imposition of fines by governmental authorities
or awards of damages to private litigants. The Company believes that the
Properties are currently in substantial compliance with all such regulatory
requirements and the Company expects to maintain compliance with such regulatory
requirements. However, there can be no assurance that these requirements will
not be changed or that new requirements will not be imposed which would require
significant unanticipated expenditures by the Company and could have an adverse
effect on the Company's cash flow and expected distributions.
 
     Reliance on Certain Tenants and Anchors. The Company's income and funds
from operations could be adversely affected in the event of the bankruptcy or
insolvency, or a downturn in the business, of any anchor store, or if any anchor
tenant does not renew its lease when it expires. If the tenant sales at the
Properties were to decline, tenants might be unable to pay their rent or other
occupancy costs. In the event of default by a tenant, delays and costs in
enforcing the lessor's rights could be experienced. In addition, the closing of
one or more anchor-occupied stores or lease termination by one or more anchor
tenants of a shopping center whose leases may permit termination could adversely
impact that Property and result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by
other tenants whose leases may permit termination or rent reduction in those
circumstances and adversely affect the Company's ability to re-lease the space
that is vacated. Each of these developments could adversely affect the Company's
funds from operations and its ability to make expected distributions to its
stockholders.
 
     Bankruptcy and Financial Condition of Tenants. At any time, a tenant of the
Properties may seek the protection of bankruptcy laws, which could result in
rejection and termination of such tenant's lease and thereby cause a reduction
in cash flow available for distribution by the Company. Although the Company has
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   18
 
not experienced material losses from tenant bankruptcies, no assurance can be
given that tenants will not file for bankruptcy protection in the future or, if
any tenants file, that they will affirm their leases and continue to make rental
payments in a timely manner. In addition, a tenant from time to time may
experience a downturn in its business which may weaken its financial condition
and result in the failure to make rental payments when due. If tenant leases are
not affirmed following bankruptcy or if a tenant's financial condition weakens,
the Company's income may be adversely affected.
 
     Americans with Disabilities Act Compliance. Under the ADA, places of public
accommodation and commercial facilities are required to meet certain federal
requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. These requirements
became effective after January 1, 1991. Although management of the Company
believes that the Properties are substantially in compliance with the present
requirements of the ADA, the Company may incur additional costs in connection
with such compliance in the future. In addition, a number of additional federal,
state and local laws and regulations exist that may require modifications to the
Company's properties, or affect certain future renovations thereof, with respect
to access by disabled persons. Non-compliance with the ADA could result in the
imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants, and also could
result in an order to correct any non-complying feature. Under certain of the
Company's leases, the tenant is responsible for ensuring that the property
complies with all laws and regulations, including the ADA. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company may be required to make substantial capital expenditures
to comply with this law. In addition, provisions of the ADA may impose
limitations or restrictions on the completion of certain renovations and thus
may limit the overall returns on the Company's investments. Thus, costs of
compliance with the ADA could adversely impact the Company's expenses and,
therefore, affect its ability to make distributions.
 
     LACK OF OPERATING HISTORY WITH RESPECT TO RECENT AND FUTURE ACQUISITION
ACTIVITY. Seventeen of the Properties have been acquired since the IPO and may
have characteristics or deficiencies currently unknown to the Company that may
affect their valuation or revenue potential, and it is also possible that the
operating performance of these Properties may decline under the Company's
management. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to succeed
with such integration or to effectively manage additional properties or that
newly acquired properties will perform as expected.
 
     POTENTIAL INABILITY TO REFINANCE INDEBTEDNESS ON FAVORABLE TERMS; INTEREST
RATES MAY RISE.
 
   
     Debt Financing and Existing Debt Maturities. The Company will be subject to
risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that the
Company's cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal
and interest, the risk that existing indebtedness on the Properties (which in
all cases will not have been fully amortized at maturity) will not be able to be
refinanced or that the terms of such refinancing will not be as favorable as the
terms of existing indebtedness. Upon the completion of the Offering and PPD's
exercise of its participation rights, the Company will have a debt to total
market capitalization of 29.8% (29.2% if the Underwriters' over-allotment option
is exercised in full and PPD exercises its additional participation rights in
full) with debt comprised of approximately $107.6 million of fixed rate, long
term mortgage debt with an average interest rate of 8.07% and a weighted average
maturity of 7.4 years, and approximately $79.4 million outstanding under the
Unsecured Credit Facility which bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.375% (which rate
spread is reduced to 1.25% for as long as the Company's debt-to-book value ratio
is .30 or below) and matures in August 2000. Since the Company anticipates that
only a small portion of the principal of the indebtedness will be repaid prior
to maturity, and the Company will not have funds on hand sufficient to repay the
balance of the indebtedness in full at maturity, it will be necessary for the
Company to refinance the debt either through additional borrowings or equity or
debt offerings. If principal payments due at maturity cannot be refinanced,
extended or paid with proceeds of other capital transactions, the Company
expects that its cash flow will not be sufficient in all years to pay
distributions at expected levels and to repay all such maturing debt.
Furthermore, if prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of
refinancing (such as the reluctance of lenders to make commercial real estate
loans) result in higher interest rates upon refinancing, the interest expense
relating to such refinanced indebtedness would increase, which could adversely
affect the Company's cash flow and its ability to make expected distributions to
its stockholders. In addition, in the event the Company is unable to refinance
the indebtedness on acceptable terms, the Company
    
 
                                       14
<PAGE>   19
 
might dispose of properties upon disadvantageous terms, which might result in
losses to the Company and might adversely affect funds available for
distribution to stockholders.
 
     Potential Defaults Under Mortgage Financing. Upon completion of the
Offering, the Company will have approximately $107.6 million in principal amount
of mortgage financing. The payment and other obligations under certain of the
mortgage financing is secured by cross-collateralized, and cross-defaulted first
mortgage liens in the aggregate amount of $53.7 million on four Properties. If
the Company is unable to meet its obligations under the mortgage financing, the
Properties securing such debt could be foreclosed upon, which could have a
material adverse effect on the Company and its ability to make expected
distributions and could threaten the continued viability of the Company. See
"Policies With Respect to Certain Activities--Financing Policies."
 
   
     Rising Interest Rates and Variable Rate Debt. Upon completion of the
Offering, the Company expects to have an outstanding balance of approximately
$79.4 million under its Unsecured Credit Facility which bears interest at a
variable rate. In addition, the Company may incur other variable rate
indebtedness in the future. Increases in interest rates on such indebtedness
would increase the Company's interest expense, which could adversely affect the
Company's cash flow and its ability to pay expected distributions to
stockholders. Accordingly, the Company may in the future engage in other
transactions to further limit its exposure to rising interest rates as
appropriate and cost effective. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."
    
 
     DEPENDENCE ON KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL. The executive officers of the
Company have substantial experience in owning, operating, managing, acquiring
and developing shopping centers. The Company believes that its success is
dependent in large part upon the efforts of such persons. Although the Company
has entered into employment agreements with certain of its executive officers
which provide for their continued employment with the Company for up to three
years and contain certain non-compete provisions, there can be no assurance that
these executive officers will remain in the employ of the Company,
notwithstanding their potential liability for damages to the Company if they
should terminate their employment. See "Management." In the event key management
personnel do not remain in the employ of the Company, the Company could be
adversely affected.
 
     ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO QUALIFY AS A REIT; OTHER TAX
LIABILITIES.
 
     Tax Liabilities as a Consequence of Failure to Qualify as a REIT. The
Company believes it is organized and has operated, and intends to continue to
operate, so as to qualify as a REIT under the Code, commencing with its taxable
year ended December 31, 1997. A REIT generally is not taxed at the corporate
level on income it currently distributes to shareholders so long as it satisfies
certain requirements. However, no assurance can be given that the Company is now
or will continue to be organized or operated in a manner so as to qualify as a
REIT or remain so qualified. Qualification as a REIT involves the satisfaction
of numerous requirements (some on an annual and some on a quarterly basis)
established under highly technical and complex Code provisions for which there
are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations, and involve the
determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within
the Company's control. For example, in order to qualify as a REIT, at least 95%
of the Company's gross income in any year must be derived from qualifying
sources and the Company must pay distributions to stockholders aggregating
annually at least 95% of its REIT taxable income (determined without regard to
the dividends paid deduction and by excluding capital gains). No assurance can
be given that legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or
court decisions will not significantly change the tax laws with respect to
qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such
qualification. The Company is relying on the opinion of Latham & Watkins,
counsel to the Company, regarding various issues affecting the Company's ability
to qualify, and continue to qualify, as a REIT. See "Federal Income Tax
Consequences--Taxation of the Company." Such legal opinion is based on various
assumptions and factual representations by the Company regarding the Company's
ability to meet the various requirements for qualification as a REIT, and no
assurance can be given that actual operating results will meet these
requirements. Such legal opinion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") or any court.
 
                                       15
<PAGE>   20
 
     If the Company were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the
Company would be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable
alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate rates.
Moreover, unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, the
Company also would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable
years following the year during which qualification was lost. This treatment
would significantly reduce the net earnings of the Company available for
distribution to stockholders because of the additional tax liability to the
Company for the years involved. In addition, distributions to stockholders would
no longer be required to be made. See "Federal Income Tax Consequences--Taxation
of the Company--Requirements for Qualification."
 
     Proposed Legislation. Certain recent federal budget proposals include a
number of provisions affecting REITs, which, if enacted as currently drafted,
may materially impede the ability of the Company to engage in third-party
management or similar activities. See "Federal Income Tax
Considerations--Proposed Legislation."
 
     Other Tax Liabilities. Even if the Company qualifies for and maintains its
REIT status, it will be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on its
income and property. If the Company has net income from a prohibited
transaction, such income will be subject to a 100% tax. See "Federal Income Tax
Consequences."
 
     DISTRIBUTIONS TO STOCKHOLDERS AFFECTED BY MANY FACTORS. Distributions by
the Company to its stockholders will be based principally on cash available for
distribution from the Properties. Increases in base rent under the leases of the
Properties or the receipt of rental revenue in connection with future
acquisitions will increase the Company's cash available for distribution to
stockholders. However, in the event of a default or a lease termination by a
lessee, there could be a decrease or cessation of rental payments and thereby a
decrease in cash available for distribution. In addition, the amount available
to make distributions may decrease if properties acquired in the future yield
lower than expected returns.
 
     The distribution requirements for REITs under federal income tax laws may
limit the Company's ability to finance future developments, acquisitions and
expansions without additional debt or equity financing. If the Company incurs
additional indebtedness in the future, it will require additional funds to
service such indebtedness and as a result amounts available to make
distributions may decrease. Distributions by the Company will also be dependent
on a number of other factors, including the Company's financial condition, any
decision to reinvest funds rather than to distribute such funds, capital
expenditures, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of
the Code and such other factors as the Company deems relevant. In addition, the
Company may issue from time to time additional shares of Common Stock in
connection with the acquisition of properties or in certain other circumstances.
No prediction can be made as to the number of such shares of Common Stock which
may be issued, if any, and, if issued, the effect on cash available for
distribution on a per share basis to holders of Common Stock. Such issuances, if
any, will have a dilutive effect on cash available for distribution on a per
share basis to holders of Common Stock. See "Business and Growth
Strategies--Growth Strategies."
 
     To obtain the favorable tax treatment associated with REITs, the Company
generally will be required to distribute to its stockholders at least 95% of its
REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction
and by excluding net capital gains) each year. See "Federal Income Tax
Consequences--Taxation of the Company--Annual Distribution Requirements." In
addition, the Company will be subject to tax at regular corporate rates to the
extent that it does not distribute all of its net capital gain or does not
distribute more than 95%, but less than 100%, of its REIT taxable income each
year. The Company will also be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the
amount, if any, by which certain distributions paid (or deemed to be paid) by it
with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of its REIT
ordinary income, 95% of its REIT capital gain net income and 100% of its
undistributed income from prior years.
 
     The Company has made and intends to continue to make distributions to its
stockholders so as to comply with the distribution requirements of the Code and
to eliminate, or at least minimize, exposure to federal income taxes and the
nondeductible excise tax. Differences in timing between the receipt of income
and the payment of expenses in arriving at taxable income and the effect of
required debt amortization payments could
 
                                       16
<PAGE>   21
 
require the Company to borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet the
distribution requirements that are necessary to achieve the tax benefits
associated with qualifying as a REIT.
 
     ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS MAY NOT PERFORM AS EXPECTED. The
Company intends to continue acquiring, developing and redeveloping shopping
center properties. See "Business and Growth Strategies--Business Strategies."
Acquisitions of retail properties entail risks that investments will fail to
perform in accordance with expectations. Estimates of development costs and
costs of improvements to bring an acquired property up to standards established
for the market position intended for that property may prove inaccurate. In
addition, there are general investment risks associated with any new real estate
investment. In the event the investments do not perform in accordance with
expectations, the Company's cash flow and ability to make distributions could be
adversely affected.
 
     The Company intends to expand or renovate its Properties from time to time.
Expansion and renovation projects generally require expenditure of capital as
well as various government and other approvals, the receipt of which cannot be
assured. While policies with respect to expansion and renovation activities are
intended to limit some of the risks otherwise associated with such activities,
the Company will nevertheless incur certain risks, including expenditures of
funds on, and devotion of management's time to, projects which may not be
completed.
 
     The Company anticipates that future acquisitions, development and
renovations will be financed through a combination of advances under the
Unsecured Credit Facility, other lines of credit and other forms of secured or
unsecured financing. If new developments are financed through construction
loans, there is a risk that, upon completion of construction, permanent
financing for newly developed properties may not be available or may be
available only on disadvantageous terms.
 
     It is possible that the Company will in the future expand its business to
new geographic markets. The Company will not initially possess the same level of
familiarity with new markets outside of the geographic areas in which the
Properties are currently located, which could adversely affect its ability to
acquire, develop, manage or lease properties in any new localities.
 
     Changing market conditions, including competition from other purchasers of
shopping center properties, may diminish the Company's opportunities for
attractive additional acquisitions.
 
     The Company also intends to develop and construct shopping centers in
accordance with the Company's development and business strategies. See "Business
and Growth Strategies." Risks associated with the Company's development and
construction activities may include: abandonment of development opportunities;
construction costs of a property exceeding original estimates, possibly making
the property uneconomical; occupancy rates and rents at a newly completed
property may not be sufficient to make the property profitable; financing may
not be available on favorable terms for development of a property; and
construction and lease-up may not be completed on schedule, resulting in
increased debt service expense and construction costs. In addition, new
development activities, regardless of whether they would ultimately be
successful, typically require a substantial portion of management's time and
attention. Development activities would also be subject to risks relating to the
inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land use,
building, occupancy, and other required governmental permits and authorizations.
 
     LIMITATIONS ON CONTROL OF PARTIALLY-OWNED PROPERTIES. The Company owns a
91% partnership interest in the limited partnership that owns Chino Town Square
and a 50% managing general partnership interest in the limited partnership that
owns Melrose Village Plaza (the "Partially-Owned Properties"). The Company may
have certain fiduciary responsibilities to third parties which it will need to
consider when making decisions relating to the Partially-Owned Properties. The
Company will not have sole control of certain major decisions relating to these
Partially-Owned Properties and will need to seek the consent of such third
parties under certain circumstances such as sales, refinancings, the timing and
amount of additional capital contributions thereto and the transfer, assignment
or pledge of the Company's partnership interests in the partnerships owning the
Partially-Owned Properties. Nevertheless, the lack of control over
Partially-Owned Properties could materially affect the Company's ability to make
important decisions about its real estate investments.
 
                                       17
<PAGE>   22
 
     LIMITATIONS ON CONTROL OVER FUTURE JOINT VENTURES OR PARTNERSHIPS. In
addition, the Company may also participate with other entities in property
ownership through joint ventures or partnerships in the future. Partnership or
joint venture investments may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not
otherwise present, including the possibility that the Company's partners or
co-venturers might become bankrupt, that such partners or co-venturers might at
any time have economic or other business interests or goals which are
inconsistent with the business interests or goals of the Company, and that such
partners or co-venturers may be in a position to take action contrary to the
Company's instructions or requests or contrary to the Company's policies or
objectives, including the Company's policy with respect to maintaining its
qualification as a REIT. The Company will, however, seek to maintain sufficient
control of such partnerships or joint ventures to permit the Company's business
objectives, including its objective to maintain its REIT qualification, to be
achieved. There is no limitation under the Company's organizational documents as
to the amount of available funds that may be invested in partnerships or joint
ventures.
 
     THE PROPERTIES MAY BE SUBJECT TO UNKNOWN ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES. Under
various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations,
a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be required to
investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product
releases at such property and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to
third parties for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs
incurred by such parties in connection with the contamination. Such laws
typically impose clean-up responsibility and liability without regard to whether
the owner knew of or caused the presence of the contaminants, even when the
contaminants were associated with previous owners or operators and the liability
under such laws has been interpreted to be joint and several unless the harm is
divisible and there is a reasonable basis for allocation of responsibility. The
costs of investigation, remediation or removal of such substances may be
substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure properly to
remediate the contamination on such property, may adversely affect the owner's
ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property as
collateral. The presence of contamination at a property can impair the value of
the property even if the contamination is migrating onto the property from an
adjoining property. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of
hazardous or toxic substances at a disposal or treatment facility also may be
liable for the costs of removal or remediation of a release of hazardous or
toxic substances at such disposal or treatment facility, whether or not such
facility is owned or operated by such person. In addition, some environmental
laws create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government for
damages and costs incurred in connection with the contamination. Sometimes, the
remedy to remediate contamination may include deed restriction or institutional
control, which can restrict how the property may be used. Finally, the owner of
a site may be subject to common law claims by third parties based on damages and
costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from such site.
 
     Certain federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances govern
the removal, encapsulation or disturbance of asbestos containing materials
("ACM") when such materials are in poor condition or in the event of
construction, remodeling, renovation or demolition of a building. Such laws may
impose liability for release of ACM and may provide for third parties to seek
recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury
associated with ACM. In connection with its ownership and operation of the
Properties, the Company may be potentially liable for such costs.
 
     Shopping centers may have businesses such as dry cleaners and auto repair
or servicing businesses which handle, store and generate small quantities of
hazardous wastes. The operation may result in spills or releases from
time-to-time that can result in soil or groundwater contamination. Independent
environmental consultants have conducted Phase I Environmental Assessments (the
"Phase I Assessments") at the Properties. These Phase I Assessments have
included, among other things, a visual inspection of the Properties and the
surrounding area and a review of relevant state, federal and historical
documents. The Company's Phase I Assessments of the Properties have not revealed
any environmental liability that the Company believes would have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, assets or results of operations taken
as a whole, nor is the Company aware of any such material environmental
liability. Nevertheless, it is possible that the Company's Phase I Assessments
do not reveal all environmental liabilities or that there are material
environmental liabilities of which the Company is unaware. Moreover, there can
be no assurance that (i) future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose
any material environmental liability or (ii) the
 
                                       18
<PAGE>   23
 
current environmental condition of the Properties will not be affected by
tenants, by the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of the
Properties (such as the presence of underground storage tanks), or by third
parties unrelated to the Company. The Company believes that the Properties are
in substantial compliance in all material respects with all federal, state and
local laws, ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances
or petroleum products. The Company has not been notified by any governmental
authority, and is not otherwise aware of any material noncompliance, liability
or claim relating to hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products in
connection with any of its Properties.
 
   
     NO LIMITATION ON AMOUNT OF INDEBTEDNESS THE COMPANY MAY INCUR. Upon the
completion of the Offering and PPD's exercise of its participation rights, the
Company will have a debt to total market capitalization of 29.8% (29.2% if the
Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full and PPD exercises its
additional participation rights in full). Although the Company currently has a
policy of incurring debt only if upon such incurrence the debt to total market
capitalization ratio would be 50% or less, the organizational documents of the
Company do not contain any limitation on the amount of indebtedness the Company
may incur. Accordingly, the Board of Directors could alter or eliminate this
policy. If this policy were changed, the Company could become more highly
leveraged, resulting in an increase in debt service that could adversely affect
the Company's cash flow and, consequently, the amount available for distribution
to stockholders, and could increase the risk of default on the Company's
indebtedness.
    
 
     The Company has established its debt policy relative to the total market
capitalization of the Company rather than relative to the book value of its
assets. The Company has used total market capitalization because it believes
that the book value of its assets (which to a large extent is the depreciated
original cost of real property, the Company's primary tangible assets) does not
accurately reflect its ability to borrow and to meet debt service requirements.
The market capitalization of the Company, however, is more variable than book
value, and does not necessarily reflect the fair market value of the underlying
assets of the Company at all times. The Company will also consider factors other
than market capitalization in making decisions regarding the incurrence of
indebtedness, such as the purchase price of properties to be acquired with debt
financing, the estimated market value of its properties upon refinancing and the
ability of particular properties and the Company as a whole to generate cash
flow to cover expected debt service.
 
     CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS IN THE FORMATION TRANSACTIONS AND THE BUSINESS OF
THE COMPANY.
 
     Benefits from Formation Transactions. In connection with the Formation
Transactions, PPD received certain board designation rights, registration rights
with respect to shares of Common Stock, and participation rights in connection
with future issuances of Common Stock by the Company. Stuart Tanz received
registration rights similar to those of PPD. See "Structure and Formation
Transactions of the Company--Benefits to Related and Other Individuals." As
such, these persons may have interests that conflict with the interests of
others that participated in the Formation Transactions.
 
     Influence of Certain Affiliates. Stuart Tanz, the Company's Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer and one of its directors, and Russell
Tanz, a director of the Company, through their and their families' ownership
interests in Revenue Properties Company Limited, a publicly-held Canadian real
estate company ("Revenue Properties"), and Revenue Properties' ownership of PPD,
will own or control approximately 51.1% of the total outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Company (and, together with options exercisable for shares
of Common Stock and restricted stock awards, 51.6% of the total outstanding
shares) upon the completion of the Offering and PPD's exercise of its
participation rights. In addition, PPD has the right to nominate certain
directors of the Company. Under the terms of the Company's amended and restated
articles of incorporation (the "Charter"), no stockholder, subject to certain
exceptions, is permitted to own in excess of 6.25% of the Common Stock.
Consequently, although Mark Tanz, Stuart Tanz, Russell Tanz and other family
members (the "Tanz Family") will not be able to take action on behalf of the
Company without the concurrence of other members of the Company's Board of
Directors, the Tanz Family, may be able to exert substantial influence over the
Company's affairs, which influence might not be consistent with the interest of
other stockholders. In addition, there may be conflicts between the interests of
the public stockholders of Revenue Properties and the public stockholders of the
Company.
 
                                       19
<PAGE>   24
 
     Other Real Estate Interests. Revenue Properties owns interests in shopping
centers, all of which are located in Canada. Although it may elect to change its
policy in the future, the Company currently does not intend to expand into
Canada, and Revenue Properties' shopping centers were not included in the
Formation Transactions for this reason.
 
     LIMITS ON CHANGES IN CONTROL AND POTENTIAL ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS. Certain
provisions of the Charter and bylaws of the Company (the "Bylaws") may have the
effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a third party from making an
acquisition proposal for the Company and may thereby inhibit a change in control
of the Company. For example, such provisions may (i) deter tender offers for the
Common Stock, which offers may be attractive to the stockholders, or (ii) deter
purchases of large blocks of Common Stock, thereby limiting the opportunity for
stockholders to receive a premium for their Common Stock over then-prevailing
market prices. See "Description of Capital Stock" and "Certain Provisions of
Maryland Law and the Company's Charter and Bylaws." These provisions include the
following:
 
     Limits on Ownership of Common Stock. In order for the Company to maintain
its qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, not more than 50%
in value of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company may be owned,
actually or constructively, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code
to include certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year (other than
the first year for which the election to be treated as a REIT has been made).
Furthermore, after the first taxable year for which a REIT election is made,
shares of the Company's Common Stock must be held by a minimum of 100 persons
for at least 335 days of a 12-month taxable year (or a proportionate part of a
short taxable year). In addition, if the Company, or an owner of 10% or more of
the Company, actually or constructively owns 10% or more of a tenant of the
Company (or a tenant of any partnership in which the Company is a partner), the
rent received by the Company (either directly or through any such partnership)
from such tenant will not be qualifying income for purposes of the REIT gross
income tests of the Code. See "Federal Income Tax Consequences--Taxation of the
Company." In order to protect the Company against the risk of losing its REIT
status due to the concentration of ownership among its stockholders, the
ownership limit included in the Charter (the "Ownership Limit") limits actual or
constructive ownership (including through the ownership of stock of PPD or
Revenue Properties) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock by any single
stockholder to 6.25% (by value or by number of shares, whichever is more
restrictive) of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock. See "Description of
Capital Stock--Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer." Although the Board of
Directors presently has no intention of doing so (except as described herein in
"Description of Capital Stock--Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer--Ownership
Limits" and elsewhere), the Board of Directors could waive this restriction with
respect to a particular stockholder if it were satisfied, based upon the advice
of tax counsel, that ownership by such stockholder in excess of the Ownership
Limit would not jeopardize the Company's status as a REIT and the Board of
Directors otherwise decided such action would be in the best interests of the
Company. The Board of Directors has waived the Ownership Limit with respect to
PPD and certain affiliated entities and has permitted such entities to actually
or constructively own up to 55.0% of the outstanding Common Stock (the "PPD
Ownership Limit"). The Board of Directors has waived the Ownership Limit with
respect to the Tanz Family and has permitted such persons to actually or
constructively own (including through the ownership of stock of PPD or Revenue
Properties), in the aggregate, up to 24.0% of the outstanding Common Stock (the
"Tanz Family Ownership Limit"). Further, the Board of Directors has waived the
Ownership Limit with respect to Acktion Corporation, a publicly traded Canadian
corporation ("Acktion Corporation"), and certain entities affiliated with such
corporation, and has permitted such entity to actually or constructively own up
to 10.0% (by number of shares or value, whichever is more restrictive) of the
outstanding Common Stock (the "Acktion Ownership Limit"). Actual or constructive
ownership of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, the PPD
Ownership Limit, the Tanz Family Ownership Limit or the Acktion Ownership Limit
will cause the violative transfer or ownership to be void with respect to the
transferee or owner as to that number of shares the ownership of which by such
owner or transferee results in such owner or transferee or any other person
violating any of the foregoing ownership limits (and can include, under certain
circumstances, the divestiture of shares of Common Stock owned by PPD, see
"Description of Capital Stock--Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer") and such
shares will be automatically transferred to a trust for the benefit of a
Qualified Charitable Organization. Such transferee or owner shall have no right
to vote such shares or be entitled to dividends or
                                       20
<PAGE>   25
 
other distributions with respect to such shares. See "Description of Capital
Stock--Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer" for additional information
regarding the Ownership Limit.
 
     Preferred Stock. The Charter authorizes the Board of Directors to cause the
Company to issue authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or the preferred
stock of the Company, $.01 par value (the "Preferred Stock") and to classify or
reclassify any unissued shares of Preferred Stock and to set the preferences,
rights and other terms of such classified or unclassified shares. See
"Description of Capital Stock--Preferred Stock." Although the Board of Directors
has no such intention at the present time, it could establish a series of
Preferred Stock that could, depending on the terms of such series, delay, defer
or prevent a transaction or a change in control of the Company that might
involve a premium price for the Common Stock or otherwise be in the best
interest of the stockholders.
 
     Special Meetings of Stockholders. The Company's Bylaws permit a special
meeting of stockholders to be called at the written request of the holders of
shares entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be
cast at such meeting. Because PPD will continue to hold a majority of the shares
of Common Stock upon consummation of the Offering, other stockholders of the
Company will not be able to request a special meeting of stockholders without
the consent of PPD.
 
     Staggered Board. The Company's Board of Directors is divided into three
classes of directors. The initial terms of the first, second and third classes
will expire in 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Beginning in 1998, directors
of each class will be chosen for three-year terms upon the expiration of their
current terms and each year one class of directors will be elected by the
stockholders. The staggered terms of directors may reduce the possibility of a
tender offer or an attempt to change control of the Company even though a tender
offer or change in control might be in the best interest of the stockholders.
See "Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and the Company's Charter and
Bylaws--Board of Directors--Number, Classification, Vacancies."
 
     CERTAIN TYPES OF LOSSES MAY EXCEED INSURANCE COVERAGE. The Company carries
comprehensive liability, public area liability, fire, earthquake, flood, boiler
and machinery, extended coverage and rental loss insurance which currently
covers all the Properties, and will be expanded to cover each of the Potential
Acquisitions which are acquired, with policy specifications and insured limits
which the Company believes are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances.
There are, however, certain types of losses that are not generally insured
because it is not economically feasible to insure against such losses. Should an
uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, the Company could
lose its capital invested in the property, as well as the anticipated future
revenue from the property and, in the case of debt which is with recourse to the
Company, would remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial
obligations related to the property. Any such loss would adversely affect the
Company. The Company believes that the Properties are, and the Potential
Acquisitions will be, adequately insured. With respect to the Properties located
in California, in light of the California earthquake risk, California building
codes since the early 1970's have established construction standards for all
newly built and renovated buildings, including shopping center structures. All
of the Properties located in California, other than Creekside Center and
Palmdale Shopping Center, have been built or redeveloped since January 1, 1985
and the Company believes that all of the Properties were constructed in full
compliance with the applicable standards existing at the time of construction.
No assurance can be given, however, that material losses in excess of insurance
proceeds will not occur in the future.
 
   
     EFFECT ON COMMON STOCK PRICE OF SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE. Upon
completion of the Offering and PPD's purchase of 2,000,000 restricted shares
pursuant to its participation rights, the Company will have 20,814,012 shares of
Common Stock outstanding (21,414,012 shares if the Underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full and assuming PPD exercises its additional
participation rights in full). Sales of a substantial number of shares of Common
Stock (including shares issued upon the exercise of stock options), or the
perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market
prices of the Common Stock. In connection with the Company's IPO, certain
individuals collectively received 130,000 shares of restricted Common Stock and
options to purchase 900,000 shares of Common Stock were granted to certain
officers, directors and employees of the Company. Since the IPO an additional
277,500 options to purchase shares of Common Stock were granted to certain
officers, directors and employees of the Company. See "Management--Compensation
of Directors" and "-- Executive Compensation." The executive officers and
    
 
                                       21
<PAGE>   26
 
   
directors of the Company have agreed that they will not, directly or indirectly,
offer, sell, offer to sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to
purchase or otherwise sell or dispose (or announce any offer, sale, offer of
sale, contract of sale, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or other sale or
disposition) of any such shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the
Company, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
any shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company for a period of
three years from the completion of the IPO without the prior written consent of
Prudential Securities Incorporated on behalf of the Underwriters. PPD has agreed
that it will be bound by similar lock-up restrictions, subject to certain
exceptions. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale." Prudential Securities
Incorporated may, in its sole discretion, at any time and without notice,
release all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock subject to such lock-up
agreements. At the conclusion of the restrictive period, all shares of Common
Stock issued in connection with the formation of the Company may be sold in the
public market pursuant to registration rights or available exemptions from
registration. See "Shares Available for Future Sale." In addition, 442,500
additional shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance pursuant to
the 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, and these shares will be available for
sale in the public markets from time to time pursuant to exemptions from
registration requirements or upon registration. No prediction can be made about
the effect that future sales of Common Stock will have on the market prices of
shares.
    
 
     CHANGES IN POLICIES WITHOUT STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. The investment,
financing, borrowing and distribution policies of the Company and its policies
with respect to all other activities, including growth, debt, capitalization and
operations, will be determined by the Board of Directors. Although the Board of
Directors has no present intention to do so, these policies may be amended or
revised at any time and from time to time at the discretion of the Board of
Directors without a vote of the stockholders of the Company. A change in these
policies could adversely affect the Company's financial condition, results of
operations or the market price of the Common Stock. See "Policies with Respect
to Certain Activities."
 
     EFFECT OF MARKET INTEREST RATES ON PRICE OF COMMON STOCK. One of the
factors that will influence the market price of the Common Stock in public
markets will be the annual distribution rate on the shares. Increasing market
interest rates may lead prospective purchasers of the Common Stock to demand a
higher annual distribution rate from future distributions. Such an increase in
the required distribution rate may adversely affect the market price of the
Common Stock.
 
     DISPOSITION OF PROPERTIES WITH BUILT-IN GAIN. In connection with the
formation of the Company, certain subsidiaries taxable as "C" corporations were
merged either into the Company or into subsidiaries of the Company which will
qualify as "qualified REIT subsidiaries." See "Federal Income Tax
Consequences--Taxation of the Company--Ownership of Subsidiaries." Certain of
these subsidiaries held 13 of the Initial Properties with Built-In Gain (each, a
"Built-In Gain Property" and collectively, the "Built-In Gain Properties") at
the time the subsidiaries were merged into the Company or into subsidiaries of
the Company. Pursuant to Treasury Regulations which have not yet been
promulgated, if any Built-In Gain Property is sold within 10 years of the date
it was acquired by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Company will be
required to pay taxes on the built-in gain that would have been realized if the
merging "C" corporation that had owned such Built-In Gain Property immediately
prior to its merger had liquidated on the day before the date of the mergers.
Therefore, with respect to managing its portfolio, the Company may have less
flexibility in determining whether or not to dispose of these Built-In Gain
Properties, and if it desires to do so at some future date, it may be subject to
tax on the built-in gain as a result of any disposition of these properties to
the extent the gain exceeds any available net operating loss carry forwards for
any property.

GENERAL
 
     The Company is a self-administered and self-managed REIT engaged in owning,
acquiring, managing, leasing and developing community and neighborhood shopping
centers predominantly located in four key western U.S. markets. Since its IPO,
the Company has invested $202.7 million in acquiring 17 additional community and
neighborhood shopping center properties, increasing its portfolio of shopping
center properties from the 25 Initial Properties to 42 Properties. The
Properties are well established neighborhood and community shopping centers
generally strategically situated in densely populated, middle and upper income
markets and are conveniently located and easily accessible from major
transportation arterials. The Properties consist of an aggregate of
approximately 5.7 million square feet of GLA (not including 965,503 square feet
of anchor-owned space at the Properties) and have an average age of
approximately eight years. As of December 31, 1997, the Properties were 96.1%
leased to 904 tenants, of which 83.0% was leased to national and regional
retailers (401 tenants and 104 tenants, respectively). Twenty-nine of the
Properties contain grocery stores such as Albertson's, Kroger, Food-4-Less,
Vons, Safeway, and Lucky Stores.

     The Properties are regionally managed under active central control by the
Company's executive officers. All administration (including the formation and
implementation of policies and procedures), leasing, capital expenditures and
construction decisions are centrally administered at the Company's corporate
headquarters. The Company employs property managers at each of its regional
offices to oversee and direct the day-to-day operations of the Properties, as
well as the on-site personnel, which may include the manager, assistant manager,
maintenance personnel and other necessary staff. Property managers communicate
daily with the Company's corporate headquarters to implement the Company's
policies and procedures.
 
     As a result of management's in-house leasing programs, the Properties
benefit from a diversified merchandising mix, which includes having national or
regional anchor tenants in 41 of the 42 Properties complemented by a carefully
planned mix of national, regional and local non-anchor tenants. To promote
stability and attract non-anchor tenants, the Company generally enters into
long-term leases (typically 15 to 20 years) with major or anchor tenants which
usually contain provisions permitting tenants to renew their leases at rates
which often include fixed rent increases or CPI adjustments from the prior base
rent. To take advantage of improving market conditions and changing retail
trends, the Company generally enters into shorter term leases (typically three
to five years) with non-anchor tenants. The Company's leases are generally on a
triple-net basis, which require the tenants to pay their pro rata share of all
real property taxes, insurance and property operating expenses.

fully-integrated real estate company with 71 employees, as of March 31, 1998,
with in-house expertise in property management, leasing, acquisitions,
development, administration, accounting services, maintenance and architectural
design. The nine members of the Company's senior management (including its five
executive officers) have an average of approximately 13 years of experience in
the real estate industry. See "Management--Directors and Executive Officers."
 
HISTORY
 
     The Company's history in owning and operating retail properties dates back
to 1971 when Mark Tanz's real estate operations focused on retail properties in
Toronto, Canada and Southern California. In 1985, Mr. Tanz became the largest
shareholder of Revenue Properties and implemented a restructuring plan to focus
the business on owning and operating retail properties in both Canada and the
U.S. Since 1985, Mr. Tanz is a director of Revenue Properties, and two of his
sons, Stuart Tanz and Russell Tanz, were formerly directors and executive
officers of Revenue Properties. Shares of Revenue Properties trade on the
Toronto Stock Exchange and on NASDAQ.
 
     In 1992, Revenue Properties acquired a controlling interest in the
Company's predecessor entity, and acquired the remaining interest in 1993. From
1992 to the Company's IPO in August 1997, PPD was led by Stuart Tanz, the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and President, along with Jeffrey Stauffer,
the Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. In January
1995, David Adlard joined PPD and is currently the Company's Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer. Although PPD was a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Revenue Properties from 1993 until the IPO, PPD functioned as an
independent organization with separate management, personnel and operational
systems, including all real estate related activities such as its in-house
leasing, acquisition, development, property management and accounting
operations. From 1992 to August 1997, PPD's management increased PPD's portfolio
of shopping centers from 13 properties (encompassing 2.1 million square feet) to
25 properties (encompassing 3.6 million square feet) through acquisition and
development activities focused within the four key western U.S. markets. The
 
                                       24
<PAGE>   29
 
Company was incorporated as a Maryland corporation in April 1997 and in August
1997 completed its IPO and began trading on the NYSE under the symbol PNP. In
the eight months since its IPO, the Company has increased its portfolio from 25
properties to 42 properties encompassing approximately 5.7 million square feet,
representing a 57.3% increase in terms of GLA.
 
                         BUSINESS AND GROWTH STRATEGIES
 
     The Company's business and growth strategies involve three fundamental
practices: (i) owning, operating, acquiring, expanding and developing quality
shopping centers in select key markets with strong economic and demographic
characteristics in order to establish and maintain a portfolio of real estate
assets with stable income and the potential for long-term growth; (ii)
developing local and regional market expertise through the hands-on
participation of senior management in property operations and leasing in order
to capitalize on market trends, retailing trends and acquisition opportunities;
and (iii) establishing and maintaining a diversified and complementary tenant
mix with an emphasis on tenants that provide day-to-day consumer necessities in
order to provide steady rental revenue. Through its regional offices, the
Company implements its business strategies by: (i) its on-going analysis of
regional and submarket demographic, economic and retailing trends; (ii)
developing and maintaining relationships with key retailers, real estate
brokers, and financial institutions; (iii) emphasizing tenant satisfaction and
retention through its proactive communication with tenants, community oriented
marketing activities and comprehensive maintenance programs; and (iv) applying
aggressive cost control practices and by capitalizing on cost reduction and
economy of scale opportunities arising from the size and proximity of its
properties within each region.
 
     The Company will continue to utilize its in-depth market knowledge within
its four key western markets to pursue its strategy of opportunistic
acquisitions of shopping centers for long-term investment. The Company believes
that significant opportunities exist within these markets to acquire shopping
center properties that are consistent with its existing portfolio in terms of
quality of construction, positive submarket demographics and location attributes
and that provide attractive initial capitalization rates with potential for
growth in cash flow. The Company further believes it has certain competitive
advantages which enhance its ability to identify and capitalize on acquisition
opportunities, including: (i) long-standing relationships with institutional and
other owners of shopping center properties in the Company's four primary
regions; (ii) fully integrated real estate operations which enable the Company
to respond quickly to acquisition opportunities and to capitalize on the
resulting economies of scale; and (iii) access to capital as a public company.
 
     The Company's management has extensive experience in implementing its
acquisition strategy. Since 1993, management has acquired 38 of the Properties
(including the 13 acquired when Revenue Properties acquired PPDC), of which 18
have been acquired during the past twelve months (April 1997 through March 1998)
encompassing over 2.3 million square feet for an aggregate purchase price of
$248.5 million.

      4/98               42                       5.7
</TABLE>
 
     Although the Company believes that current market conditions generally
favor acquisitions, management intends to continue its practice of redeveloping
and expanding properties as market and retailing trends evolve. In addition, the
Company intends to continue developing quality shopping center properties when
it believes market conditions and tenant opportunities support favorable
risk-adjusted returns.
 
     Of the 42 Properties, four were developed by the Company. The Company's
most recent development is Laguna Village, a three-phased project with the first
two phases completed in 1996 and 1997. The Company believes the rapid
residential growth in the community of Laguna Creek in southern Sacramento,
California where Laguna Village is located, has created significant demand for
local retail, services, restaurants and entertainment. Therefore, the Company
continues to pursue the development of Laguna Village based on its belief that
this market has an undersupply of entertainment, recreation and food services.
With the completion of Phase II, Laguna Village now totals 108,203 square feet
and as of December 31, 1997, was 91.5% leased to 10 tenants including United
Artist Theatres and 24 Hour Fitness. The Company is currently pursuing the
development of Phase III of Laguna Village which, upon completion, will
encompass approximately 12,000 square feet of retail space.
 
     Including Phase III of Laguna Village, the Company has buildout and
expansion development opportunities at eight Properties within its current
portfolio, representing an aggregate of approximately 90,000 square feet of new
retail space. These development opportunities are mainly comprised of outparcel
                                       26
<PAGE>   31
 
sites. The Company pursues buildout and expansion opportunities when they are
substantially pre-leased and after management has considered other factors such
as market conditions and retailing trends. The Company is currently undertaking
development projects at Winterwood Pavilion, Canyon Ridge Plaza and Country Club
Center, which total approximately 32,500 square feet of new space and are
scheduled to be completed during 1998. Recently, the Company completed a 3,200
square foot building on an outparcel pad at each of Brookvale Shopping Center
and Olympia Square.
 
     The Company also seeks to maximize the cash flow from its existing
portfolio by continuing to enhance the operating performance of each property
through its in-house leasing and property management programs. The Company
intends to continue to aggressively pursue: (i) the leasing of currently
available space; (ii) the renewal or releasing of expiring leases at higher
rental rates; and (iii) economies of scale in the management and leasing of
properties that may be realized by focusing its acquisition and development
activities within its four primary regions. Management believes that maintaining
high occupancy rates, the renewal and replacement of tenants and increasing base
rents are critical measures of management and leasing performance. Since
December 31, 1993, the Company has maintained a year-end portfolio occupancy
rate (based on square footage) ranging from 92.8% to 96.1% for the Properties
owned at such dates. During the past three years, the Company has renewed or
released 1,148,218 square feet involving 369 lease transactions, and base rents
per square foot from such leasing activity increased from $11.52 in 1994 to
$13.09 in 1995, to $14.74 in 1996 and to $14.81 in 1997.
 
     The following table sets forth certain summary historical information
regarding the Company's leasing activity during the past three years:

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
   
     The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting the
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses of the Offering,
are approximately $38.7 million (approximately $44.7 million if the
Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full). The Company will also
receive an additional $42.3 million in connection with PPD's exercise of its
participation rights ($48.6 million if the Underwriters' over-allotment option
is exercised in full and PPD exercises its additional participation rights in
full). The Company intends to use all of the net proceeds from the Offering and
proceeds received from PPD to reduce indebtedness outstanding under the
Unsecured Credit Facility which bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.375%, matures in
August 2000 and was incurred to fund the Company's acquisition activity. Upon
completion of the Offering and the application of the net proceeds, there will
be approximately $79.4 million outstanding under the Unsecured Credit Facility
with approximately $120.6 million available to fund the Company's future
acquisitions. Pending such uses, the net proceeds will be invested in
short-term, investment grade, interest-bearing securities or guaranteed
obligations of the U.S. government. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

     On May 12, 1998, the last reported sales price per share of Common Stock on
the NYSE was $21.1875. As of April 8, 1998, the Company had approximately 45
stockholders of record and approximately 2,778 beneficial owners.
    
- ---------------
(1) The Company paid a distribution of $.2128 per share of Common Stock on
    October 31, 1997, to stockholders of record on October 22, 1997, for the
    period from August 8, 1997 (the first day of trading of the Company's Common
    Stock on the NYSE) through September 30, 1997, which is approximately
    equivalent to a quarterly distribution of $.3625 and an annual distribution
    rate of $1.45 per share of Common Stock.
 
(2) On December 15, 1997, the Company declared a distribution of $.3625 per
    share of Common Stock for the fourth quarter of 1997 which was paid on
    January 19, 1998 to stockholders of record on December 15, 1997.
 
(3) On March 17, 1998, the Company declared a distribution of $.38 per share of
    Common Stock for the first quarter of 1998 payable on April 17, 1998 to
    stockholders of record on March 31, 1998.
 
     Distributions by the Company to the extent of its current and accumulated
earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, other than capital gain
dividends, will be taxable to stockholders as ordinary dividend income. Capital
gain dividends generally will be treated as long-term capital gain.
Distributions in excess of the Company's current and accumulated earnings and
profits generally will be treated as a non-taxable reduction of the
stockholder's basis in the Common Stock to the extent thereof, and thereafter as
capital gain. Distributions treated as a non-taxable reduction in basis will
generally have the effect of deferring taxation until the sale of a
stockholder's Common Stock. The Company determined that for federal tax
purposes, approximately $.3938 per share of the $.5753 per share distributions
paid with respect to the 1997 tax year represented ordinary dividend income to
stockholders. No assurances can be given regarding what percent of future
dividends will constitute return of capital for federal income tax purposes. In
order to avoid corporate income taxation of the earnings that it distributes,
the Company must make annual distributions to stockholders of at least 95% of
its REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction
and the Company's net capital gain), which the Company anticipates will be less
than its share of cash available for distribution. Under certain circumstances,
the Company may be required to make
 
                                       28
<PAGE>   33
 
distributions in excess of cash available for distribution in order to meet such
distribution requirements. In such a case, the Company may find it necessary to
arrange for short-term (or possibly long-term) borrowings or to raise funds
through the issuance of preferred shares or additional shares of Common Stock.
 
     Future distributions by the Company will be at the discretion of the Board
of Directors and will depend on the actual Funds from Operations of the Company,
its financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution
requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code (see "Federal Income Tax
Considerations--Taxation of the Company"), economic conditions and such other
factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. See "Risk Factors--Changes in
Policies Without Stockholder Approval."
 
                                 CAPITALIZATION
 
   
     The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Company as of
December 31, 1997 on a historical and an as adjusted basis to give effect to (i)
the Property acquisitions completed between December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998
and related borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility; and (ii) completion
of the Offering and the sale of 2,000,000 restricted shares to PPD pursuant to
the exercise of its participation rights, including the application of the net
proceeds therefrom. See "Use of Proceeds." The information set forth in the
table should be read in connection with the consolidated financial statements of
the Company and notes thereto, the pro forma financial information of the
Company and the notes thereto and the discussion under "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
OVERVIEW
 
     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with "Selected
Consolidated Financial Data" and the consolidated financial statements of Pan
Pacific Retail Properties, Inc., and the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in
this Prospectus.
 
     The Company receives income primarily from rental revenue (including
recoveries from tenants) from shopping center properties. As a result of the
Company's acquisition and development program, the financial data shows
increases in total revenue from period to period, largely attributable to: (i)
the Acquired Properties; (ii) a property placed into operation during the
period; and (iii) the benefit of a full period of rental and other revenue from
a property placed into operation in the preceding period.
 
     The Company believes that overhead costs as a percentage of revenue will
decrease as the Company achieves economies of scale through increases in the
revenue base of its portfolio. For example, during the year ended December 31,
1997, the Company owned properties comprising a weighted average GLA of
3,581,000 square feet. Total expenses, excluding interest, depreciation and
amortization for the year ended December 31, 1997 were $13,939,000 or $3.89 per
square foot. By comparison, during the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company
owned properties comprising a weighted average GLA of 2,770,000 square feet.
Total expenses, excluding interest, depreciation and amortization, for the year
ended December 31, 1996 were $12,126,000 or $4.38 per square foot.
 
     The Company expects that the more significant part of its revenue growth in
the next year or two will come from additional acquisitions and rent increases
from re-leasing and re-tenanting initiatives.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 1997 to the Year Ended December 31,
1996.
 
     Total revenue increased by $11,347,000 or 32.3% to $46,452,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1997 as compared to $35,105,000 for the year ended December
31, 1996.
 
     Rental revenue increased by $8,767,000 or 30.9% to $37,117,000 from
$28,350,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to the year ended
December 31, 1996. The increase in rental revenue resulted primarily from the
acquisition of the 1997 Acquisitions. In addition, the inclusion in operations
of Phase I of Laguna Village in May 1996 and Phase II of Laguna Village in the
third quarter of 1997 added to this increase. Rental revenue also increased as a
result of increased occupancy levels primarily at Canyon Ridge Plaza, Sahara
Pavilion North, Chino Town Square and Tanasbourne Village.
 
     Recoveries from tenants increased by $1,828,000 or 29.4% to $8,042,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $6,214,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1996. This increase resulted primarily from the 1997 Acquisitions.
In addition, 1997 included a full period of recoveries for Phase I of Laguna
Village. Recoveries from tenants were 87.4% of property operating expenses and
property taxes for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to 85.0% of the
same expenses for the same period in 1996.
 
     Property expenses include property operating expenses, property taxes and
property management fees. Property operating expenses increased by $946,000 or
18.7% to $6,016,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to
$5,070,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996. The increase in property
operating expenses was primarily attributable to the 1997 Acquisitions. In
addition, 1997 included a full year of property operating expenses for Phase I
of Laguna Village and a full quarter of operating expenses for Phase II of
Laguna Village. Property taxes increased by $943,000 or 42.0% for the year ended
December 31, 1997, compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. The increase in
property taxes was primarily the result of the completion of Phase I of Laguna
Village in 1996, the transfer of Phase II of Laguna Village to operations at
September 30, 1997 and the 1997 Acquisitions.
 
     Depreciation and amortization increased by $1,235,000 or 16.1% to
$8,928,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $7,693,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1996. This was primarily due
 
                                       32
<PAGE>   37
 
to the completion of Phase I of Laguna Village in May 1996, the completion of
Phase II of Laguna Village in September 1997 and the 1997 Acquisitions.
 
     Interest expense decreased by $614,000 or 4.2% to $14,057,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $14,671,000 for the year ended December
31, 1996, primarily as a result of decreased interest expense relating to the
repayment of debt of approximately $134,000,000 in August 1997 in connection
with the IPO. This decrease was partially offset by interest expense related to
the debt assumed pursuant to the acquisition of Monterey Plaza in April 1997
which was subsequently repaid in August 1997, the interest expense associated
with the new Unsecured Credit Facility, the net impact of the December 1996
refinancing of variable rate debt to fixed rate debt and construction loan
interest related to the development of Phase I of Laguna Village.
 
     General and administrative expenses increased by $695,000 or 21.5% to
$3,923,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $3,228,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to
annual salary increases and costs associated with additional staffing
necessitated by the 1997 Acquisitions. Expenses for tax and audit services were
also increased as a result of new public reporting requirements. These increases
were partially offset by a decrease in the management fee paid to Revenue
Properties that is no longer incurred as of the completion of the IPO. As a
percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses were 8.4% and
9.2% for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company
expects that general and administrative expenses will continue to decrease as a
percentage of total revenue in future periods due to economies of scale which
the Company anticipates should be realized as additional properties are
acquired.
 
     Other expenses, net, consist primarily of loan guaranty fees and the
expensing of due diligence costs for acquisitions that are not completed. Other
expenses decreased by $846,000 or 55.2% to $687,000 for the year ended December
31, 1997, as compared to $1,533,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996. The
decrease was primarily due to loan guaranty fees paid to Revenue Properties
which are no longer being charged as the debt which was guaranteed was paid off
in August 1997 in connection with the IPO. This decrease was partially offset by
the expensing of due diligence costs in 1997 related to potential acquisitions
which were not consummated.
 
     As part of the Formation Transactions, $134,217,000 of notes payable were
repaid. In connection with the early repayment of these notes, an extraordinary
loss of $1,043,000 was recorded which includes prepayment penalties and the
write off of unamortized financing costs and a loan premium.
 
     The following table compares the operating data for the properties ("Same
Store Properties") that were owned and in operation for the entirety of both
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996:

</TABLE>
 
     Operating income for the Same Store Properties for the year ended December
31, 1997 increased over the same period in the prior year by $1,134,000 or 4.3%.
This increase was attributable to increased rental revenue resulting from
increased occupancy levels primarily at Canyon Ridge Plaza, Cheyenne Commons,
Sahara Pavilion North, Chino Town Square and Tanasbourne Village. In addition,
there were approximately $153,000 of lease termination fees received at Canyon
Ridge Plaza and Sahara Pavilion North in 1997. Property operating expenses for
these Same Store Properties increased by $282,000 or 4.6% for the year ended
 
                                       33
<PAGE>   38
 
December 31, 1997, over the same period in the prior year due primarily to
increased property tax expense and center enhancement costs such as painting,
new awnings, signage and landscaping at Cheyenne Commons as well as increased
bad debt expense at Sunset Square.
 
  Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 1996 to the Year Ended December 31,
  1995.
 
     Total revenue increased by $5,370,000 or 18.1% to $35,105,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1996, as compared to $29,735,000 for the year ended December
31, 1995.
 
     Rental revenue increased $4,881,000 or 20.8% to $28,350,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1996, as compared to $23,469,000 for the year ended December
31, 1995. The increase in rental revenue resulted primarily from a full year of
rental revenue from Cheyenne Commons, which was acquired in September 1995, the
completion of Canyon Ridge in December 1995, the completion of Phase I of Laguna
Village in May 1996 and the acquisition of the remaining 98% ownership interest
in Laurentian Center effective January 1996.
 
     Recoveries from tenants increased to $6,214,000 for the year ended December
31, 1996, an increase of $736,000 or 13.4%, as compared to $5,478,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1995. This increase resulted principally from a full
year of recoveries from tenants of Cheyenne Commons and Canyon Ridge, partial
year recoveries from the tenant in Phase I of Laguna Village and the acquisition
of the remaining ownership interests in Laurentian Center. Recoveries from
tenants for 1996 represent 85.0% of property operating expenses and property
taxes as compared to 81.2% for 1995. This increase was due to the sale in 1995
of the Richardson Mall, a mixed use residential property located in Hartford,
Connecticut. Increases in vacant space prior to this disposition decreased
significantly the rate of recovery of expenses relating to this property.
 
     The Company recognized a gain of $501,000 in 1995 on the sale of the
Richardson Mall. There was no comparable gain in 1996.
 
     Property expenses include property operating expenses, property taxes and
property management fees. Property operating expenses for the year ended
December 31, 1996 increased to $5,070,000, an increase of $308,000 or 6.5%, from
$4,762,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995. Property taxes increased by
$263,000 or 13.3% to $2,244,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, as
compared to $1,981,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995. These increases in
property operating expenses and property taxes were primarily the result of a
full year of ownership in 1996 of Cheyenne Commons, the completion of Phase I of
Laguna Village and Canyon Ridge and their subsequent operations, and the
acquisition of the remaining ownership interests in Laurentian Center.
 
     Depreciation and amortization increased by $1,353,000 or 21.3% to
$7,693,000 from $6,340,000 primarily due to the 1996 acquisition and the full
year effect of the properties acquired or developed during 1995.
 
     Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased by
$2,409,000 or 19.6% to $14,671,000, as compared to $12,262,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1995, primarily as a result of the increase in mortgage loans
incurred to acquire Cheyenne Commons, to finance the development of Phase I of
Laguna Village and Canyon Ridge and the loan assumed in the acquisition of the
remaining ownership interests in Laurentian Center. Interest rates on variable
rate debt were relatively unchanged for 1996 as compared to 1995.
 
     General and administrative expenses decreased by $392,000 or 10.8% for the
year ended December 31, 1996, compared to the year ended December 31, 1995,
primarily due to a reduction in payroll costs related to the relocation of the
Company's administrative offices in the spring of 1995. General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 9.2%
during 1996 from 12.2% during 1995 as the Company was able to utilize its
personnel and other overhead costs over a greater revenue base.
 
     Other expenses, net, consist primarily of loan guaranty fees, miscellaneous
income and expenses, and the write off of capitalized leasing commissions and
tenant improvements. Other expenses amounted to $1,533,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1996, an increase of $286,000 when compared to other expenses of
$1,247,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995. The change resulted from (i)
reduced interest income and (ii) increased write off of capitalized leasing
commissions and tenant improvements in 1996 resulting from lease terminations in
that year.

</TABLE>
 
     Operating income for the Same Store Properties for the year ended December
31, 1996 increased over the prior year by $188,000. This increase was
attributable to increased rental revenue due to increased occupancy levels at
Rosewood Village. In addition, a lease termination fee of approximately $171,000
was received at Tanasbourne Village. Also, Winterwood Pavilion had an increase
of approximately $56,000 in percentage rent. Operating expenses for these Same
Store Properties increased by $102,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 over
the prior year primarily due to an increase in property tax expense of
approximately $50,000 at Olympia Square, increased center enhancement costs such
as painting, new awnings and signage at Sunset Square of approximately $30,000
and an increase in marketing, landscaping and general maintenance expenses at
Sahara Pavilion South of approximately $35,000.
 
PRO FORMA OPERATING RESULTS
 
     Comparison of Pro Forma Year Ended December 31, 1997 to Historical Year
Ended December 31, 1997.
 
   
     On a pro forma basis, consolidated net income would have been $22,209,000
for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to the historical net income of
$8,313,000 for the same period. The $13,896,000 increase in pro forma net income
was primarily the result of: (i) income associated with the acquisition of
properties and notes receivable in 1997 and 1998 that was assumed to have
occurred on January 1, 1997, (ii) a reduction in interest expense based on the
effects of using the net proceeds of the IPO and the Offering to repay mortgage
debt and a portion of the Unsecured Credit Facility and (iii) the elimination of
$1,010,000 in management and loan guarantee fees paid to Revenue Properties. Pro
forma revenue increased by $23,266,000 primarily as a result of the properties
and notes receivable acquired in 1997 and 1998, while expenses, other than
interest, increased by approximately $8,576,000 due to the additional expenses
associated with these acquisitions. There was a net increase in pro forma
interest expense of $1,760,000 due to interest on debt incurred to fund property
acquisitions offset by a reduction in interest expense resulting from the
application of the IPO and net Offering proceeds.
    
 
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
 
     The White Paper defines Funds from Operations as net income (loss)
(computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and
amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures. Management considers Funds from Operations an appropriate measure of
performance of an equity REIT because it is predicated on cash flow analyses.
The Company computes Funds from Operations in accordance with standards
established by the White Paper. The Company's computation of Funds from
Operations may, however, differ from the methodology for calculating Funds from
Operations utilized by other equity REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable
to such other REITs. Funds from Operations should not be considered as an
alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of
the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the
Company's cash needs, including its ability to make distributions.

CASH FLOWS
 
  Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 1997 to the Year Ended December 31,
  1996.
 
     Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $8,749,000 to
$15,242,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $6,493,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1996. The increase was primarily the result of an
increase in net income.
 
     Net cash used in investing activities increased by $147,474,000 to
$166,276,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $18,802,000
for the year ended December 31, 1996. The increase was primarily the result of
additions to properties for the 1997 Acquisitions. The increase was also
attributable to contributions to unconsolidated partnerships. In the comparable
period in 1996, the use of cash for investing activities was primarily for the
purpose of acquiring the remaining ownership interests in Laurentian Center and
additions to property under development.
 
     Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $127,833,000 to
$142,799,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $14,966,000
for the year ended December 31, 1996. The increase resulted from amounts drawn
on the Unsecured Credit Facility, net proceeds of the IPO including the full
exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option and increases in advances
from Revenue Properties (see footnote 1 to the consolidated financial statements
located elsewhere in this Prospectus) prior to the IPO for certain of the 1997
Acquisitions. These increases were partially offset by notes payable payments
reflecting the paydown of a significant amount of portfolio debt in connection
with the IPO.
 
  Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 1996 to the Year Ended December 31,
  1995.
 
     Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $1,037,000 to
$6,493,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, as compared to $5,456,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1995. The increase was primarily the result of an
increase in net income, an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities
and a decrease in restricted cash. These increases were partially offset by a
decrease in accounts payable and an increase in accrued rent receivable.
 
     Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $24,013,000 to
$18,802,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, as compared to $42,815,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1995. The decrease was primarily the result of the
acquisition of Cheyenne Commons in 1995 for approximately $36,000,000, partially
offset by the acquisition of the remaining ownership interests in Laurentian
Center, increased construction activity at Phase I of Laguna Village, and the
collection of notes receivable in 1996.

     Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $11,717,000 to
$14,966,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996, as compared to $26,683,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1995. The decrease was primarily the result of a
reduction in the indebtedness incurred in 1996, partially offset by an increase
in amounts advanced from Revenue Properties in 1996.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     The Company believes the IPO and the Formation Transactions that were
completed in August 1997 improved its financial position through changes to its
capital structure, principally the substantial reduction in its overall debt and
its debt-to-equity ratio. In connection with the Formation Transactions, the
Company repaid all of its existing floating rate mortgage debt. As a result, the
total principal amount of outstanding secured debt after the Formation
Transactions and the acquisition of Green Valley Town & Country was reduced by
approximately $146,000,000. This will result in a significant reduction in
interest expense as a percentage of total revenue (18.5% on a pro forma basis
for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to 30.3% actual for the year
ended December 31, 1997). Thus, cash from operations required to fund debt
service requirements will decrease substantially.
 
     The total market capitalization of the Company at December 31, 1997, was
approximately $530,166,000, based on the market closing price at December 31,
1997 of $21.375 per share and the debt outstanding of approximately $170,766,000
(exclusive of accounts payable and accrued expenses). As a result, the Company's
debt to total market capitalization ratio was approximately 0.322 at December
31, 1997. The Company believes that its low leverage capital structure combined
with its Unsecured Credit Facility enhances the Company's ability to take
advantage of acquisition opportunities as well as to provide funds for general
corporate purposes.
 
     The Company had approximately $87,550,000 available under the then
$150,000,000 Unsecured Credit Facility at December 31, 1997. The initial
borrowing under the Unsecured Credit Facility of $13,600,000 occurred when the
Rainbow Promenade asset was acquired on September 9, 1997 for approximately
$31,300,000. The balance of the purchase price was funded with available cash
provided by operations and the net proceeds from the full exercise of the
underwriters' over-allotment option in connection with the IPO. Subsequent
borrowings were made under the Unsecured Credit Facility in November and
December 1997 for the acquisitions of six additional properties. At the
Company's option, amounts borrowed under the Unsecured Credit Facility during
this period accrued interest at either LIBOR plus 1.50% or a reference rate. The
weighted average interest rate at December 31, 1997 was 7.68%. In March 1998,
the Company obtained an increase to the Unsecured Credit Facility from
$150,000,000 to $200,000,000 and a reduction in the borrowing rate thereunder to
LIBOR plus 1.375% (which rate spread is reduced to 1.25% for as long as the
Company's debt-to-book value ratio is .30 or below). The Company anticipates
that the Unsecured Credit Facility will continue to be used primarily to acquire
additional properties and for general corporate purposes.
 
     The Company's mortgage indebtedness outstanding at December 31, 1997
requires balloon payments of $88,888,000 in 2000, $4,004,000 in 2004, $7,395,000
in 2005, $52,748,000 in 2007 and $2,697,000 in 2008 and subsequent years. The
balloon payment due in the year 2000 includes the balance drawn on the Unsecured
Credit Facility at December 31, 1997 of $62,450,000. It is likely that the
Company will not have sufficient funds on hand to repay these balloon amounts at
maturity. Therefore, the Company expects to refinance such debt either through
additional debt financings secured by individual properties or groups of
properties, by unsecured private or public debt offerings or by additional
equity offerings. The Unsecured Credit Facility, which matures in August 2000,
is renewable.
 
     The Company expects to make distributions from cash available for
distributions, which the Company believes will exceed historical cash available
for distributions due to the reduction in debt service resulting from the
repayment of indebtedness described above. Amounts accumulated for distribution
will be invested by the Company primarily in short-term investments such as
collateralized securities of the United States government or its agencies,
high-grade commercial paper and bank deposits or will be used to pay down
outstanding balances on the Unsecured Credit Facility, if any. On October 6,
1997, the Board of Directors of the Company declared the first dividend of
$.2128 per share paid on October 31, 1997 to stockholders of record on October
22, 1997. The dividend was for the prorated period from August 8, 1997 to
September 30,
 
                                       37
<PAGE>   42
 
1997 and is equivalent to a quarterly distribution rate of $.3625 per share. On
December 5, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend of
$.3625 per share for the fourth quarter 1997 paid on January 19, 1998 to
stockholders of record on December 29, 1997.
 
     The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally
through its current working capital and net cash provided by operations. The
Company believes that its net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to
allow the Company to make the distributions necessary to enable the Company to
continue to qualify as a REIT. The Company also believes that the foregoing
sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund its short-term liquidity needs
for the foreseeable future.
 
     The Company expects to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements such
as property acquisition and development, scheduled debt maturities, renovations,
expansions and other non-recurring capital improvements through long-term
secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity or debt
securities. The Company also expects to use funds available under the Unsecured
Credit Facility to finance acquisition and development activities and capital
improvements on an interim basis.
 
INFLATION
 
     Substantially all of the leases provide for the recovery of real estate
taxes and operating expenses incurred by the Company. In addition, many of the
leases provide for fixed base rent increases or indexed escalations (based on
the consumer price index or other measures) and percentage rent. The Company
believes that inflationary increases in expenses will be substantially offset by
the expense reimbursements, contractual rent increases and percentage rent
described above.
 
     The Unsecured Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate, which will
be influenced by changes in short-term interest rates, and will be sensitive to
inflation.
 
IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED BUT NOT ADOPTED BY THE COMPANY
 
     In June 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130"), was issued and is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement requires
companies to classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in an
income statement and display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive
income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the
equity section of a statement of financial position.
 
     Also in June 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS No.
131"), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997. This statement establishes standards for segment reporting in the
financial statements.
 
     In February 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132,
"Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Retirement Benefits" ("SFAS No.
132"), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997. This statement standardizes disclosure requirements for pensions and other
post retirement benefits. It does not change the measurement or recognition
provisions for those benefit plans.
 
     On March 19, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Emerging
Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 97-11, "Accounting for
Internal Costs Relating to Real Estate Property Acquisitions" ("EITF 97-11").
EITF 97-11 states that internal costs of preacquisition activities incurred in
connection with the acquisition of an operating property should be expensed as
incurred. EITF 97-11 is to be implemented on a prospective basis effective on
the date the consensus was reached.
 
     The Company anticipates that the adoption of SFAS Nos. 130, 131 and 132
will not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations
or liquidity of the Company, nor result in disclosures that will be materially
different from those presently included in its financial statements. The Company
has not yet determined the effect that EITF 97-11 will have on its financial
position, results of operations or liquidity.

(1) The Company estimates the mortgage debt outstanding upon completion of the
    Offering will be approximately $107.6 million due to amortization.
 
UNSECURED CREDIT FACILITY
 
   
     Upon the completion of the IPO, the Company obtained a $150 million
unsecured acquisition credit facility with a variable interest rate of LIBOR
plus 1.50% (the "Unsecured Credit Facility"). In March 1998, the Company
obtained an increase to the Unsecured Credit Facility from $150 million to $200
million and a reduction in the borrowing rate thereunder to LIBOR plus 1.375%
(which rate spread is reduced to 1.25% as long as the Company's debt-to-book
value is .30 or below). At December 31, 1997, the amount outstanding under the
Unsecured Credit Facility was approximately $62.5 million with an interest rate
of 7.68%. Upon the completion of the Offering and the exercise of PPD's
participation rights, the Company will have approximately $79.4 million
outstanding under the Unsecured Credit Facility with approximately $120.6
million available to fund future acquisitions. The Unsecured Credit Facility,
which matures in August 2000, is syndicated to a group of six banks including
Bank of America NT&SA (lead agent), U.S. Bank, KeyBank, Bank of Nova Scotia,
First Union Bank and Sanwa Bank California.

INSURANCE
 
     The Company carries comprehensive liability, public area liability, boiler
and machinery, fire, flood, earthquake, extended coverage and rental loss
insurance covering the Properties, with policy specifications and insured limits
which the Company believes are adequate and appropriate under the circumstances.
There are, however, certain types of losses that are not generally insured
because it is not economically feasible to insure against such losses. Should an
uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, the Company could
lose its capital invested in the Property, as well as the anticipated future
revenue from the Property and, in the case of debt which is with recourse to the
Company, would remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial
obligations related to the Property. Any such loss would adversely affect the
Company. The Company believes that the Properties are adequately insured. With
respect to the Properties located in California, in light of the California
earthquake risk, California building codes since the early 1970's have
established construction standards for all newly built and renovated buildings,
including shopping center structures. The Company believes that all of the
Properties were constructed in full compliance with the applicable construction
standards existing at the time of construction. All of the Properties located in
California have insurance coverage for earthquakes in an amount up to $20
million per annual occurrence, with a 10% deductible. No assurance can be given
that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the
future.
 
MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYEES
 
     As of March 31, 1998, the Company had 71 employees, including five
executive officers and senior personnel with expertise in property management,
leasing, acquisitions, development, administration, accounting services and
architectural design.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     The Company is not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to the
Company's knowledge, is any litigation threatened against the Company, other
than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, some of
which is expected to be covered by liability insurance and all of which
collectively is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
     Many laws and governmental regulations are applicable to the Properties and
changes in these laws and regulations, or their interpretation by agencies and
the courts, occur frequently.
 
     Costs of Compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act. Under the ADA,
all places of public accommodation, effective beginning in 1992, are required to
meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons.
Compliance with the ADA might require removal of structural barriers to
handicapped access in certain public areas where such removal is "readily
achievable." Noncompliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of fines
or an award of damages to private litigants. The Company believes that the
Properties are currently in substantial compliance with all such regulatory
requirements and the Company expects to maintain compliance with all regulatory
requirements. If required changes involve a greater amount of expenditures than
the Company currently anticipates or if the changes must be made on a more
accelerated schedule than the Company currently anticipates, the Company's
ability to make expected distributions to stockholders could be adversely
affected.
 
     Environmental Matters. Under various federal, state and local laws,
ordinances and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, an
owner or operator of real estate may be held liable for the costs of removal or
remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances located on or in the
property. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner
was responsible for, or even knew of, the presence of such hazardous or toxic
substances. The costs of investigation, removal or remediation of such
substances may be substantial and, the presence of such substances may adversely
affect the owner's ability to rent or sell the property or to borrow using such
property as collateral. In addition, the presence of such substances may expose
it to liability resulting from any release or exposure of such substances.
Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic
substances at another location may also be liable for the costs of
                                       47
<PAGE>   52
 
removal or remediation of such substances at the disposal or treatment facility,
whether or not such facility is owned or operated by such person. Certain
environmental laws impose liability for release of ACM into the air, and third
parties may also seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for
personal injury associated with ACM and other hazardous or toxic substances. In
connection with the ownership (direct or indirect), operation, management and
development of real properties, the Company may be considered an owner or
operator of such properties or as having arranged for the disposal or treatment
of hazardous or toxic substances and, therefore, potentially liable for removal
or remediation costs, as well as certain other related costs, including
governmental penalties and injuries to persons and property.
 
     The Company believes that the Properties are in compliance in all material
respects with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations
regarding hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products. The Company has
not been notified by any governmental authority, and is not otherwise aware, of
any material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic
substances or petroleum products in connection with any of its present
properties.
 
     Phase I Assessments or similar environmental assessments conducted by
independent environmental consultants have been obtained on all of the
Properties to identify potential sources of contamination for which the
Properties may be responsible and to assess the status of environmental
regulatory compliance. Phase I Assessments are intended to discover information
regarding, and to evaluate the environmental condition of, the surveyed property
and surrounding properties. Phase I Assessments generally include an historical
review, a public records review, an investigation of the surveyed site and
surrounding properties, and preparation and issuance of a written report, but do
not include soil sampling or subsurface investigations. None of the Company's
environmental assessments of the Properties has revealed any environmental
liability that the Company believes would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole, nor is
the Company aware of any such material environmental liability.
 
     Nonetheless, it is possible that the Company's assessments do not reveal
all environmental liabilities or that there are material environmental
liabilities of which the Company is unaware. Moreover, there can be no assurance
that (i) future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material
environmental liability or (ii) the current environmental condition of the
Properties will not be affected by tenants, by the condition of land or
operations in the vicinity of the Properties (such as the presence of
underground storage tanks), or by third parties unrelated to the Company. If
compliance with the various laws and regulations, now existing or hereafter
adopted, exceeds the Company's budgets for such items, the Company's ability to
make expected distributions to stockholders could be adversely affected.
 
     Other Regulations. The Properties are also subject to various federal,
state and local regulatory requirements such as state and local fire and life
safety requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in
the imposition of fines by governmental authorities or awards of damages to
private litigants. The Company believes that the Properties are currently in
material compliance with all such regulatory requirements. However, if
requirements are changed or new requirements are imposed which would require
significant unanticipated expenditures by the Company such events could have an
adverse effect on the Company's funds from operations and expected
distributions.
 
     Except as described in this Prospectus, there are no other laws or
regulations which have a material effect on the Company's operations other than
typical state and local laws affecting the development and operation of real
property such as zoning laws. See "Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of the
Company's Charter and Bylaws," "Federal Income Tax Consequences" and "ERISA
Considerations."

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
 
     The Board of Directors is entitled to fix its own remuneration from time to
time. Pursuant to such authority, each director other than Stuart A. Tanz is
remunerated for his service as a director at the rate of $10,000 per annum. In
addition, these directors receive a fee of $1,500 for each Board of Directors
meeting attended ($750 for telephonic attendance), a fee of $750 for each
committee meeting attended on a day that does not include a Board of Directors
meeting ($500 for telephonic attendance) and an additional fee of $250 for each
committee meeting chaired by such director whether or not a Board of Directors
meeting occurred on the same day. Directors are also reimbursed for reasonable
expenses incurred to attend director and committee meetings. Officers of the
Company who are directors are not paid any directors' fees. Each Independent
Director also received, upon his initial election to the Board of Directors,
options to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock, of which one third vested
immediately and the remaining two thirds vest pro rata in annual installments
over two years following the date of grant. The stock options were issued
pursuant to the 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan at an exercise price equal
to or greater than the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of
grant.
 
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
     Prior to the IPO the Company did not pay any compensation to its officers,
who were formerly employed and compensated by PPD, the Company's predecessor.
The following table sets forth the annual base salary rates and other
compensation paid during the period on and after August 13, 1997 through
December 31, 1997 (the "Initial Period") to the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and each of the Company's three other most highly compensated executive
officers whose annualized compensation in the Initial Period would have exceeded
$100,000 (the "Named Executive Officers"). The Company has entered into
employment agreements with certain of its executive officers as described below.

(2) Based on the Black-Scholes options pricing model adapted for use in valuing
    stock options. The following assumptions were used in determining the values
    set forth in the table: (i) expected volatility of 22.05% calculated in
    accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123; (ii) a risk-free rate of
    return of 6.5% (which percentage represents the assumed yield on a United
    States Government Zero Coupon bond with a 7-year maturity prevailing on or
    about the date on which the respective options were granted); (iii) a
    dividend yield of 6.75%; and (iv) an expected life of 5 years. No
    adjustments were made for transferability or risk of forfeiture of the
    options. The calculations were made using the option exercise price of
    $19.50. The estimated present values in the table are not intended to
    provide, nor should they be interpreted as providing, any indication or
    assurance concerning future values of the shares of Common Stock.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
 
     During 1996, there were no Compensation Committee interlocks and no
officers or employees of the Company who participated on the Compensation
Committee.
 
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
     Stuart Tanz, David Adlard, and Jeffrey Stauffer have each entered into
employment agreements with the Company. Stuart Tanz's employment agreement has
an initial term of three years and David Adlard's and Jeffrey Stauffer's
employment agreements each have initial terms of two years. All of these
employment agreements provide for automatic one-year extensions following the
expiration of the initial term. The employment agreements require each of these
individuals to be employed full time by the Company and prohibit them from
becoming directors, officers or employees of Revenue Properties or PPD. Laurie
Sneve has also agreed that she will not accept employment with Revenue
Properties or PPD for as long as she is employed by the Company.
 
                                       53
<PAGE>   58
 
     For the first year of the initial term, the employment agreements provide
for an initial annual base compensation in the amounts set forth in the footnote
(1) to the Summary Compensation table with the amount of any initial bonus to be
determined by the Compensation Committee. For subsequent years, both the amount
of the base compensation and any bonus will be determined by the Compensation
Committee.
 
     The employment agreements entitle the executives to participate in the 1997
Stock Option and Incentive Plan (each executive was initially allocated the
number of stock options set forth in the Summary Compensation table) and to
receive certain other insurance and pension benefits. In addition, in the event
of a termination by the Company without "cause," a termination by the executive
for "good reason," or a termination pursuant to a "change in control" of the
Company (as such terms are defined in the employment agreements) (each, a
"Permitted Severance Event"), Stuart Tanz will be entitled to a single severance
payment equal to the sum of two times his annual base compensation for the most
recent 12 month period plus an amount equal to his most recent bonus. David
Adlard and Jeffrey Stauffer will be entitled to a single severance payment equal
to the sum of their respective annual base compensation for the most recent nine
month period (Mr. Stauffer) and six month period (Mr. Adlard); provided,
however, that for each full year of service with the Company, the number of
months of base compensation in the severance payment shall be increased by one
month (subject to an overall cap of 18 months). Each of Messrs. Tanz (for one
year), Adlard (for six months) and Stauffer (for one year) will be subject to a
non-competition covenant if their employment with the Company ceases for any
reason other than a Permitted Severance Event.
 
401(K) PLAN
 
     The Company established the Pan Pacific Retail Properties, Inc. Section
401(k) Savings/Retirement Plan (the "Section 401(k) Plan") to cover eligible
employees of the Company and any designated affiliate.
 
     The Section 401(k) Plan permits eligible employees of the Company to defer
up to 15% of their annual compensation, subject to certain limitations imposed
by the Code. The employees' elective deferrals are immediately vested and
non-forfeitable upon contribution to the Section 401(k) Plan. The Company
currently makes matching contributions to the Section 401(k) Plan.
 
     The Section 401(k) Plan is designed to qualify under Section 401 of the
Code so that contributions by employees or by the Company to the Section 401(k)
Plan, and income earned thereon, are not taxable to employees until withdrawn
from the Section 401(k) Plan, and so that contributions by the Company, if any,
will be deductible by the Company when made.
 
INDEMNIFICATION
 
     For a description of the limitation of liability and indemnification rights
of the Company's officers and directors, see "Certain Provisions of Maryland Law
and of the Company's Charter and Bylaws--Limitation of Liability and
Indemnification for Directors and Officers."

              STRUCTURE AND FORMATION TRANSACTIONS OF THE COMPANY
 
FORMATION TRANSACTIONS
 
     The Company was formed to continue and expand the real estate operations of
PPD. Prior to or simultaneously with the completion of the IPO, the Company and
PPD engaged in the transactions described below (the "Formation Transactions").
The Formation Transactions were designed to consolidate the ownership of the 25
Initial Properties in the Company and to repay certain mortgage debt relating
thereto, to facilitate the IPO, to enable the Company to qualify as a REIT for
federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ending December 31,
1997 and to preserve certain tax advantages to PPD. The Formation Transactions
included the following:
 
     O The Company sold through the initial public offering 7,000,000 shares of
       Common Stock and issued an additional 1,050,000 shares of Common Stock
       pursuant to the Underwriters' exercise of their over-allotment option.
 
     O Certain of the Initial Properties were contributed by PPD and its
       subsidiaries to the Company and PPD entities that owned the remaining
       Initial Properties were merged into the Company.
 
     O PPD contributed $26,486,000 in cash to the Company (the "PPD
       Contribution").
 
     O The Company issued 8,634,012 restricted shares of Common Stock to PPD and
       its subsidiaries in exchange for the ownership interests in the Initial
       Properties and the PPD Contribution.
 
     O Approximately $148,933,000 of the net proceeds of the IPO and the PPD
       Contribution were used by the Company to repay certain mortgage debt
       secured by certain of the Initial Properties and indebtedness outstanding
       under lines of credit assumed by the Company in the Formation
       Transactions and to pay transaction costs including fees and expenses
       associated with the Unsecured Credit Facility.
 
     O The Company entered into the then $150 million Unsecured Credit Facility.
 
     O Fifty-nine of the 61 former employees of PPD resigned from PPD and become
       employees of the Company, including Stuart Tanz, the former Chairman,
       President and Chief Executive Officer of PPD, three other executive
       officers of PPD (David Adlard, Jeffrey Stauffer and Laurie Sneve) and
       other operating and administrative employees including one in the area of
       acquisition and business development, one design architect, 13 in
       accounting, three in leasing, one in marketing, five in property
       management, 14 in administration and 17 in maintenance.
 
BENEFITS TO RELATED AND OTHER PARTIES
 
     Certain affiliates of the Company realized certain material benefits in
connection with the Formation Transactions, including the following:
 
     O In exchange for its ownership interests in certain of the Initial
       Properties and certain PPD entities, PPD received a total of 8,634,012
       shares of Common Stock, with a total value of approximately $168.4
       million based on the IPO price of the Common Stock, compared to a net
       book value of such interests and assets of approximately $133.0 million
       as of March 31, 1997 (which does not include the $26.5 million PPD
       Contribution). The Company does not believe that the book values of the
       interests and assets exchanged are equivalent to the fair market values
       of such interests and assets.
 
     O Approximately $145.3 million of indebtedness (excluding accrued interest)
       of PPD secured by certain of the Initial Properties was repaid in the
       Formation Transactions. See "Use of Proceeds."
 
     O Approximately $91.4 million of indebtedness of PPD secured by certain of
       the Initial Properties was assumed by the Company in the Formation
       Transactions.
 
     O Stuart Tanz was elected as a director and appointed as an officer of the
       Company and entered into an employment agreement providing for annual
       salary, bonus, participation in the 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
       and other benefits for his services.
 
                                       55

     O David Adlard and Jeffrey Stauffer were appointed as officers of the
       Company and each entered into employment agreements providing for annual
       salary, bonus, participation in the 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
       and other benefits for their services.
 
     O PPD received certain participation rights in connection with future
       issuances of Common Stock by the Company which will enable PPD and its
       affiliates to maintain their overall percentage ownership of the combined
       equity of the Company.
 
     O PPD was granted the right to nominate two persons for election to the
       Board of Directors of the Company so long as PPD and its affiliates
       collectively beneficially own at least 25% of the outstanding Common
       Stock. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions--Director
       Designation."
 
     O PPD and Stuart Tanz received certain registration rights with respect to
       shares of Common Stock issued. See "Shares Available For Future
       Sale--Registration Rights."

                 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
     See "Structure and Formation Transactions of the Company" for a summary of
certain related party transactions that were consummated prior to or
simultaneously with the completion of the IPO.
 
TERMS OF TRANSFERS
 
     The terms of the transfers of the Initial Properties (or entities owning
the Initial Properties) to the Company by PPD were not determined through
arm's-length negotiation. PPD had a substantial economic interest in the
entities transferring the Initial Properties and the entities among certain of
the Initial Properties that were merged into the Company. See "Risk
Factors--Conflicts of Interests in the Formation Transactions and the Business
of the Company."
 
DIRECTOR DESIGNATION
 
     PPD has the right to nominate two persons for election to the Board of
Directors of the Company so long as PPD and its affiliates collectively
beneficially own at least 25% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
     For a description of certain registration rights held by PPD and Stuart
Tanz, see "Shares Available for Future Sale--Registration Rights."
 
ASSIGNMENT OF LEASE
 
     Concurrently with the completion of the IPO, PPD assigned the Company all
of its interest as a tenant in a lease covering the space which previously
served as the headquarters of PPD at Melrose Village Plaza in Vista, California,
in addition to other space previously leased to PPD at certain of the Initial
Properties. The Company currently occupies such space at rates which the Company
believes are equal to the fair rental value of the space.
 
PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS
 
     PPD has certain participation rights in connection with future issuances of
Common Stock by the Company which will enable PPD to maintain its overall
percentage ownership of the Common Stock of the Company.
 
NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT
 
     PPD and Revenue Properties have agreed that they will not, without the
consent of the Company acting through its Independent Directors, acquire,
develop or manage any shopping centers in the western United States and will
refer all such opportunities to the Company. These restrictions will lapse when
PPD's Common Stock ownership of the Company falls below 15%, calculated on a
fully diluted basis.
 
                  POLICIES WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN ACTIVITIES
 
     The Company's policies with respect to the following activities have been
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company and may be amended or
revised from time to time at the discretion of the Board of Directors, without a
vote of the stockholders of the Company, if they determine in the future that
such a change is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
 
INVESTMENT POLICIES
 
     Investment in Real Estate or Interests in Real Estate. The investment
objectives of the Company are to achieve stable cash flow available for
distributions and, over time, to increase cash flow and portfolio value by
actively managing the Properties, developing properties and acquiring additional
properties that, either as acquired or after value-added activities by the
Company (such as improved management and leasing services and renovations), will
produce additional cash flows. The Company's policy is to develop and acquire
properties primarily for generation of current income and appreciation of
long-term value.

     The Company pursues its investment objectives primarily through the
ownership of shopping center properties. Since the Company expects to hold its
properties for long-term investment, it will continue to emphasize an ongoing
program of regular maintenance, periodic renovation, capital management and
expansion of existing facilities. The Company currently contemplates developing
and acquiring additional shopping center properties in the western United States
including particularly its current geographic regions (Northern California,
Southern California, Las Vegas, Nevada and the Pacific Northwest), although
future investments could be made outside of these areas or in different property
categories if the Board of Directors determines that such acquisitions and
developments would be desirable. The Company will not have any limit on the
amount or percentage of its assets invested in any single property or group of
related properties. The Board of Directors may establish limitations as it deems
appropriate from time to time. No limitations have been set on the number of
properties in which the Company will seek to invest or on the concentration of
investments in any one geographic region.
 
     The Company may develop, sell, trade, purchase or lease income-producing
properties or land for long-term investment and expand, improve or sell its
properties, in whole or in part, when circumstances warrant. The Company may
also participate with other entities and affiliates in property ownership
through joint ventures or other types of co-ownership. Equity investments by the
Company may be subject to existing or future mortgage financing and other
indebtedness which will have priority over the equity interests of the Company.
 
     Investments in Real Estate Mortgages. While the Company emphasizes equity
real estate investments, the Company may, in its discretion, invest in mortgages
and other real estate interests consistent with the Company's qualification as a
REIT. The Company currently has investments in notes receivable secured by deeds
of trust and pledges of partnership interests relating to certain shopping
centers in Northern California. Investments in real estate mortgages run the
risk that one or more borrowers may default under such mortgages and that the
collateral securing such mortgages may not be sufficient to enable the Company
to recoup its full investment.
 
     Securities of or Interests in Persons Primarily Engaged in Real Estate
Activities and Other Issuers. Subject to the asset and gross income tests which
the Company must satisfy to qualify and maintain its status as a REIT, the
Company may invest in securities of other entities engaged in real estate
activities or securities of other issuers. See "Federal Income Tax
Consequences--Taxation of the Company." The Company does not currently intend to
invest in the securities of other issuers except in connection with acquisitions
of indirect interests in properties (normally general or limited partnership
interests in special purpose partnerships owning properties) and in connection
with the acquisition of substantially all of the economic interest in a real
estate-related operating business where such investments would be consistent
with the Company's investment policies. Investment in these securities is also
subject to the Company's policy not to be treated as an investment company under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
 
DISPOSITIONS
 
     The Company has no current intention to cause the disposition of any of the
Properties, although it reserves the right to do so if, after taking into
account the tax consequences of any disposition, including the Company's
continued ability to qualify as a REIT, it determines that such action would be
in its best interests. See "Risk Factors--Disposition of Properties with
Built-in Gain."
 
FINANCING POLICIES
 
   
     The Company has established its debt policy relative to the market
capitalization of the Company rather than to the book value of its assets, a
ratio that is customarily employed. Upon completion of the Offering and PPD's
exercise of its participation rights, the Company will have a debt to total
market capitalization ratio (i.e., the total consolidated debt of the Company as
a percentage of the market value of the issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock plus total consolidated debt) of 29.8% (29.2% if the Underwriter's over-
allotment option is exercised in full and PPD exercises its additional
participation rights in full). This ratio will fluctuate with changes in the
price of the Common Stock (and the issuance of additional shares of Common
Stock) and differs from the debt-to-book capitalization ratio, which is based
upon book value. As the debt-to-book capitalization ratio may not reflect the
current income potential of a company's assets and operations, the
    
                                       58
<PAGE>   63
 
Company believes that the debt-to-total market capitalization ratio provides a
more appropriate indication of leverage for a company whose assets are primarily
income-producing real estate. The total market capitalization of the Company,
however, is more variable than book value, and does not necessarily reflect the
fair market value of the underlying assets of the Company at all times. Although
the Company will consider factors other than total market capitalization in
making decisions regarding the incurrence of indebtedness (such as the purchase
price of properties to be acquired with debt financing, the estimated market
value of such properties upon refinancing and the ability of particular
properties and the Company as a whole to generate cash flow to cover expected
debt service), there can be no assurance that the ratio of indebtedness to total
market capitalization (or to any other measure of asset value) will be
consistent with the expected level of distributions to the Company's
stockholders.
 
     The Board of Directors has adopted a policy of limiting the Company's
indebtedness to approximately 50% of its total market capitalization, but the
organizational documents of the Company do not contain any limitation on the
amount or percentage of indebtedness, funded or otherwise, that the Company may
incur. In addition, the Company may from time to time modify its debt policy in
light of then current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity
capital, market values of its properties, general conditions in the market for
debt and equity securities, fluctuations in the market price of its Common
Stock, growth and acquisition opportunities, the Company's continued REIT
qualification requirements or other presently unknown factors which may arise in
the future which, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, require a revision
in such policy. Accordingly, the Company may increase or decrease its debt to
market capitalization ratio beyond the limits described above.
 
     To the extent that the Board of Directors decides to obtain additional
capital, the Company may raise such capital through additional equity offerings
(including offerings of senior or convertible securities and preferred stock),
sales of investments, bank and other institutional borrowings, the issuance of
debt securities (which may be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of
Common Stock or be accompanied by warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock)
or retention of cash flow (subject to the requirements in the Code concerning
the distribution of REIT taxable income), or a combination of these methods. In
the event that the Board of Directors determines to raise additional equity
capital, the Board has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue
additional shares of Common Stock or other capital stock (including securities
senior to the Common Stock) of the Company in any manner, and on such terms and
for such consideration, it deems appropriate, including in exchange for
property. Except for the preemptive rights in favor of PPD, existing
stockholders would have no preemptive right to purchase shares issued in any
offering, and any such offering might cause a dilution of a stockholder's
investment in the Company.
 
     Borrowings may be unsecured or may be secured by any or all of the assets
of the Company or any existing or new property-owning partnership and may have
full or limited recourse to all or any portion of the assets of the Company or
any existing or new property-owning partnership. Indebtedness incurred by the
Company may be in the form of bank borrowings, purchase money obligations to the
sellers of the properties, publicly or privately placed debt instruments or
financing from institutional investors or other lenders. There are no limits on
the number or amount of mortgages or interests which may be placed on any one
property. In addition, such indebtedness may be recourse to all or any part of
the property of the Company or may be limited to the particular property for
which the indebtedness relates. The proceeds from any borrowings by the Company
may be used for general corporate purposes including, among other things,
working capital, to refinance existing indebtedness, to finance the acquisition,
expansion, development or redevelopment of properties and for the payment of
distributions.
 
     In the future, the Company may seek to extend, expand, reduce or renew the
Unsecured Credit Facility, or obtain new credit facilities or lines of credit,
subject to its general policy of debt capitalization. Future mortgage loans,
credit facilities and lines of credit may be used for the purpose of making
acquisitions or capital improvements, providing working capital or meeting the
distribution requirements for REITs under the Code if the Company has taxable
income without receipt of cash sufficient to enable the Company to meet such
distribution requirements.
 
                                       59
<PAGE>   64
 
WORKING CAPITAL RESERVES
 
     The Company will maintain working capital reserves (and when not
sufficient, access to borrowings) in amounts that the Board of Directors
determines from time to time to be adequate to meet normal contingencies in
connection with the operation of the Company's business and investments.
 
CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICIES
 
     Directors and officers of the Company may be subject to certain conflicts
of interests in fulfilling their responsibilities to the Company. The Company
has adopted certain policies designed to minimize potential conflicts of
interest.
 
     Policies Applicable to All Directors. Under the Company's Charter and
Maryland law, a contract or transaction between the Company and any of its
directors or between the Company and any other corporation, firm or other entity
in which any of its directors is a director, officer, stockholder, member or
partner or has a material financial interest is not void or voidable solely
because of such interest if (i) the contract or transaction is approved after
disclosure of the interest by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
disinterested directors, or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes
cast by disinterested stockholders, or (ii) the contract or transaction is
established to have been fair and reasonable to the Company.
 
     The Company's Charter and Bylaws provide that a majority of the Company's
Board of Directors must be Independent Directors. See "Certain Provisions of
Maryland Law and of the Company's Charter and Bylaws--Board of Directors."
 
OTHER POLICIES
 
     The Company intends to operate in a manner that will not subject it to
regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company
does not intend (i) to invest in the securities of other issuers for the purpose
of exercising control over such issuer (except to the extent described above in
"--Investment Policies"), (ii) to underwrite securities of other issuers or
(iii) to trade actively in loans or other investments.
 
     The Company has authority to offer shares of Common Stock or other
securities and to repurchase or otherwise reacquire shares of Common Stock or
any other securities in the open market or otherwise and may engage in such
activities in the future. The Company may, under certain circumstances, purchase
shares of Common Stock in the open market, if such purchases are approved by the
Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has no present intention of causing
the Company to repurchase any of the shares of Common Stock, and any such action
would be taken only in conformity with applicable federal and state laws and the
requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and the Treasury
Regulations. Although it may do so in the future, except in connection with the
Formation Transactions, the Company has not issued Common Stock or any other
securities in exchange for property, nor has it reacquired any of its Common
Stock or any other securities. The Company has not made loans to other entities
or persons, including its officers and directors. The Company may in the future
make loans to joint ventures in which it participates in order to meet working
capital needs. The Company has not engaged in trading, underwriting or agency
distribution or sale of securities of other issuers, nor has the Company
invested in the securities of other issuers for the purposes of exercising
control, and does not intend to do so.
 
     At all times, the Company intends to make investments in such a manner so
as to enable it to qualify as a REIT under the Code unless, because of changing
circumstances or changes in the Code (or in Treasury Regulations), the Board of
Directors of the Company determines that it is no longer in the best interests
of the Company to qualify as a REIT and such determination is approved by the
affirmative vote of holders owning at least two-thirds of the shares of the
Company's capital stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
     The following summary of the terms of the Company's capital stock does not
purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Company's Charter and Bylaws, copies of which are filed as
exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. See
"Additional Information."
 
GENERAL
 
     Under the Charter, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of
100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 30,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.
Upon completion of the Offering, there will be 20,814,012 shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock will be issued and
outstanding. Under Maryland law, stockholders generally are not liable for the
corporation's obligations solely as a result of their status as stockholders.
 
COMMON STOCK
 
     Each outstanding share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote on
all matters presented to stockholders for a vote, including the election of
directors, and, except as otherwise required by law and except as provided in
any resolution adopted by the Board of Directors with respect to any other class
or series of stock establishing the designation, powers, preferences and
relative, participating, optional or other special rights and powers of such
series, the holders of such shares will possess the exclusive voting power,
subject to the provisions of the Company's Charter regarding the ownership of
shares of Common Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, or such other limit as
provided in the Company's Charter or as otherwise permitted by the Board of
Directors described below. Holders of shares of Common Stock have no preference,
conversion, exchange, sinking fund, redemption or appraisal rights and, with the
exception of PPD's proportional participation rights, have no preemptive rights
to subscribe for any securities of the Company or cumulative voting rights in
the election of directors. All shares of Common included those issued and
outstanding following the consummation of the Offering will be duly authorized,
fully paid and nonassessable. Subject to the preferential rights of any other
shares or series of stock and to the provisions of the Charter regarding
ownership of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, or such
other limit as provided in the Company's Charter or as otherwise permitted by
the Board of Directors described below, distributions are paid to the holders of
shares of Common Stock if and when authorized and declared by the Board of
Directors of the Company out of funds legally available therefor.
 
     If the Company is liquidated, subject to the right of any holders of
Preferred Stock to receive preferential distributions, each outstanding share of
Common Stock will be entitled to participate pro rata in the assets remaining
after payment of, or adequate provision for, all known debts and liabilities of
the Company.
 
     Subject to the provisions of the Charter regarding the ownership of shares
of Common Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, or such other limit as
provided in the Company's Charter or as otherwise permitted by the Board of
Directors described below, all shares of Common Stock will have equal
distribution, liquidation and voting rights, and will have no preference or
exchange rights. See "--Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer."
 
     Under the Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL"), a Maryland
corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, merge, sell all or
substantially all of its assets, engage in a share exchange or engage in similar
transactions outside the ordinary course of business unless approved by the
affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least two-thirds of the shares
entitled to vote on the matter unless a lesser percentage (but not less than a
majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter) is set forth in
the corporation's charter (such a lower percentage (a majority) is set forth in
the Company's Charter). The phrase "substantially all of the assets" is not
defined in the MGCL and is, therefore, subject to interpretation by courts
applying Maryland law in the context of the facts and circumstances of any
particular case. The Charter of the Company provides that such actions need only
be approved by stockholders holding a majority of the shares entitled to vote on
the matter.
 
                                       62
<PAGE>   67
 
     The Charter authorizes the Board of Directors to reclassify any unissued
shares of Common Stock into other classes or series of classes of stock and to
establish the number of shares in each class or series and to set the
preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions,
limitations and restrictions on ownership, limitations as to dividends or other
distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption for each
such class or series.
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
 
     The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is The Bank of New
York.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
     Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time, in one or more series, as
authorized by the Board of Directors. No Preferred Stock is currently issued or
outstanding. Prior to the issuance of shares of each series, the Board of
Directors is required by the MGCL and the Company's Charter to fix for each
series the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers,
restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms or
conditions of redemption, as permitted by Maryland law. Because the Board of
Directors has the power to establish the preferences, powers and rights of each
series of Preferred Stock, it may afford the holders of any series of Preferred
Stock preferences, powers and rights, voting or otherwise, senior to the rights
of holders of shares of Common Stock. The issuance of Preferred Stock could have
the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of the Company that
might involve a premium price for holders of Common Stock or otherwise be in
their best interest. The Board of Directors has no present plans to issue any
Preferred Stock.
 
POWER TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND PREFERRED STOCK
 
     The Company believes that the power of the Board of Directors to issue
additional authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock and
to classify or reclassify unissued shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock
and thereafter to cause the Company to issue such classified or reclassified
shares of stock will provide the Company with increased flexibility in
structuring possible future financings and acquisitions and in meeting other
needs which might arise. The additional classes or series, as well as the Common
Stock, will be available for issuance without further action by the Company's
stockholders, unless such action is required by applicable law or the rules of
any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Company's
securities may be listed or traded. Although the Board of Directors has no
intention at the present time of doing so, it could authorize the Company to
issue a class or series that could, depending upon the terms of such class or
series, delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change in control of the
Company that might involve a premium price for holders of Common Stock or
otherwise be in their best interest.
 
RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER
 
     For the Company to qualify as a REIT under the Code, no more than 50% in
value of the Company's outstanding shares of stock may be owned, actually or
constructively, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include
certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year (other than the first
year for which an election to be treated as a REIT has been made). In addition,
if the Company, or an owner of 10% or more of the Company, actually or
constructively owns 10% or more of a tenant of the Company (or a tenant of any
partnership in which the Company is a partner), the rent received by the Company
(either directly or through any such partnership) from such tenant will not be
qualifying income for purposes of the REIT gross income tests of the Code. A
REIT's stock must also be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons during at
least 335 days of a taxable year of twelve months or during a proportionate part
of a shorter taxable year (other than the first year for which an election to be
treated as a REIT has been made).
 
     The Company's Charter prohibits (i) any person from actually or
constructively owning shares of stock of the Company that would result in the
Company being "closely held" under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise cause
the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT, and (ii) any person from transferring
shares of stock of the Company if such transfer would result in shares of stock
of the Company being owned by fewer
 
                                       63
<PAGE>   68
 
than 100 persons. The Charter contains restrictions on the ownership and
transfer of Common Stock which are intended to assist the Company in enforcing
these prohibitions. The Ownership Limit set forth in the Company's Charter
provides that, subject to certain specified exceptions, no person or entity may
own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership
provisions of the Code, more than 6.25% (by number or value, whichever is more
restrictive) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The constructive
ownership rules of the Code are complex, and may cause shares of Common Stock
owned actually or constructively by a group of related individuals and/or
entities to be constructively owned by one individual or entity. As a result,
the acquisition of less than 6.25% of the shares of Common Stock (or the
acquisition of an interest in an entity, such as Revenue Properties or Acktion
Corporation that owns, actually or constructively, Common Stock) by an
individual or entity, could, nevertheless cause that individual or entity, or
another individual or entity, to own constructively in excess of 6.25% of the
outstanding Common Stock and thus violate the Ownership Limit, or such other
limit as provided in the Company's Charter or as otherwise permitted by the
Board of Directors. For example, an increase in the proportionate ownership
interest in Revenue Properties held by one or more members of the Tanz Family,
or some other individual or entity, could cause one or more members of the Tanz
Family or such other individual or entity to violate the Ownership Limit, or
such other limit as provided in the Company's Charter or as otherwise permitted
by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, but in no event will be
required to, waive the Ownership Limit with respect to a particular stockholder
if it determines that such ownership will not jeopardize the Company's status as
a REIT and the Board of Directors otherwise decides such action would be in the
best interest of the Company. As a condition of such waiver, the Board of
Directors may require an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it and/or
undertakings or representations from the applicant with respect to preserving
the REIT status of the Company. The Board of Directors has obtained such
undertakings and representations from PPD and, as a result, has waived the
Ownership Limit with respect to PPD and its affiliates and has permitted PPD to
own up to 55.0% of the outstanding Common Stock. The Board of Directors has also
obtained such undertakings and representations from the Tanz Family and, as a
result, has waived the Ownership Limit with respect to the Tanz Family and has
permitted the Tanz Family to own, in the aggregate, actually or constructively
(including through the ownership of stock of PPD or Revenue Properties), up to
24.0% (by number of shares or value, whichever is more restrictive) of the
outstanding Common Stock. Further, the Board of Directors has waived the
Ownership Limit with respect to Acktion Corporation and certain entities
affiliated with such corporation, and has permitted such entity to actually or
constructively own up to 10.0% (by number of shares or value, whichever is more
restrictive) of the outstanding Common Stock.
 
     Any person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire actual or
constructive ownership of shares of stock of the Company (including by acquiring
shares of PPD or Revenue Properties) that will or may violate any of the
foregoing restrictions on transferability and ownership is required to give
notice immediately to the Company and provide the Company with such other
information as the Company may request in order to determine the effect of such
transfer on the Company's status as a REIT. The foregoing restrictions on
transferability and ownership will not apply if the Board of Directors
determines that it is no longer in the best interest of the Company to attempt
to qualify, or to continue to qualify, as a REIT. Except as otherwise described
above, any change in the Ownership Limit would require an amendment to the
Charter. Amendments to the Charter require the affirmative vote of a majority of
all votes entitled to be cast on that matter.
 
     Pursuant to the Charter, if any purported transfer of Common Stock of the
Company or any other event would otherwise result in any person violating the
Ownership Limit or such other limit as provided in the Charter or as otherwise
permitted by the Board of Directors (including, but not limited to, the PPD
Ownership Limit, the Tanz Family Ownership Limit and the Acktion Ownership
Limit), then any such purported transfer will be void and of no force or effect
with respect to the purported transferee (the "Prohibited Transferee") as to
that number of shares in excess of the Ownership Limit or such other limit (the
"Excess Shares"), and the Prohibited Transferee shall acquire no right or
interest (or, in the case of any event other than a purported transfer, the
person or entity holding record title to any such Excess Shares (the "Prohibited
Owner") shall cease to own any right or interest) in such Excess Shares.
Furthermore, an acquisition or increase in the actual or constructive ownership
of stock in Revenue Properties, PPD or Acktion Corporation by one or more
members of the Tanz Family, or some other individual or entity, or the actual or
constructive acquisition by PPD or Acktion Corporation of additional shares of
Common Stock, could result
                                       64
<PAGE>   69
 
in the disqualification of the Company as a REIT (the "Violative Indirect
Transfer"). In such circumstances, pursuant to the Company's Charter, the
Company will treat PPD or Acktion Corporation, as applicable, as a Prohibited
Owner with respect to the number of shares (the "Excess PPD Shares") of Common
Stock owned by it which, if divested, would permit the Company to continue to
maintain its REIT status. Any such Excess Shares or Excess PPD Shares described
above will be transferred automatically, by operation of law, to a trust, the
beneficiary of which will be a qualified charitable organization selected by the
Company (the "Beneficiary"). Such automatic transfer shall be deemed to be
effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of
such violative transfer (including any Violative Indirect Transfer). Within 20
days of receiving notice from the Company of the transfer of shares to the
trust, the trustee of the trust (who shall be designated by the Company and be
unaffiliated with the Company and any Prohibited Transferee or Prohibited Owner)
will be required to sell such Excess Shares to a person or entity who could own
such shares without violating the Ownership Limit, or such other limit as
provided in the Charter or as otherwise permitted by the Board of Directors, and
distribute to the Prohibited Transferee or Prohibited Owner an amount equal to
the lesser of the price paid by the Prohibited Transferee or Prohibited Owner
for such Excess Shares or the sales proceeds received by the trust for such
Excess Shares. In the case of any Excess Shares resulting from any event other
than a transfer (such as a Violative Indirect Transfer), or from a transfer for
no consideration (such as a gift), the trustee will be required to sell such
Excess Shares (or Excess PPD Shares) to a qualified person or entity and
distribute to the Prohibited Owner an amount equal to the lesser of the fair
market value (as defined in the Charter) of such Excess Shares (or Excess PPD
Shares) as of the date of such event (including the date of a Violative Indirect
Transfer) or the sales proceeds received by the trust for such Excess Shares (or
Excess PPD Shares). In either case, any proceeds in excess of the amount
distributable to the Prohibited Transferee or Prohibited Owner, as applicable,
will be distributed to the Beneficiary. Prior to a sale of any such Excess
Shares (or Excess PPD Shares) by the trust, the trustee will be entitled to
receive, in trust for the Beneficiary, all dividends and other distributions
paid by the Company with respect to such Excess Shares (or Excess PPD Shares),
and also will be entitled to exercise all voting rights with respect to such
Excess Shares (or Excess PPD Shares). Subject to Maryland law, effective as of
the date that such shares have been transferred to the trust, the trustee shall
have the authority (at the trustee's sole discretion) (i) to rescind as void any
vote cast by a Prohibited Transferee or Prohibited Owner, as applicable, prior
to the discovery by the Company that such shares have been transferred to the
trust and (ii) to recast such vote in accordance with the desires of the trustee
acting for the benefit of the Beneficiary. However, if the Company has already
taken irreversible corporate action, then the trustee shall not have the
authority to rescind and recast such vote. Any dividend or other distribution
paid to the Prohibited Transferee or Prohibited Owner (prior to the discovery by
the Company that such shares had been automatically transferred to a trust as
described above) will be required to be repaid to the trustee upon demand for
distribution to the Beneficiary. In the event that the transfer to the trust as
described above is not automatically effective (for any reason) to prevent
violation of the Ownership Limit or such other limit as provided in the
Company's Charter or as otherwise permitted by the Board of Directors, then the
Charter provides that the transfer of the Excess Shares will be void or, in the
case of a Violative Indirect Transfer, the Excess PPD Shares will be redeemable
by the Company at its sole option at a price equal to the fair market value of
such shares at the time of the Violative Indirect Transfer.
 
     In addition, shares of stock of the Company held in the trust shall be
deemed to have been offered for sale to the Company, or its designee, at a price
per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that
resulted in such transfer to the trust (or, in the case of a devise, gift or
Violative Indirect Transfer, the fair market value at the time of such devise,
gift or transfer) and (ii) the fair market value on the date the Company, or its
designee, accepts such offer. The Company shall have the right to accept such
offer until the trustee has sold the shares of stock held in the trust. Upon
such a sale to the Company, the interest of the Beneficiary in the shares sold
shall terminate and the trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of the sale to
the Prohibited Transferee or Prohibited Owner.
 
     If any purported transfer of shares of Common Stock would cause the Company
to be beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons, such transfer will be null
and void in its entirety and the intended transferee will acquire no rights to
the stock.

     All certificates representing shares of Common Stock will bear a legend
referring to the restrictions described above. The foregoing ownership
limitations could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change in control
of the Company that might involve a premium price for the Common Stock or
otherwise be in the best interest of stockholders.
 
     Under the Charter, every owner of a specified percentage (or more) of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock must file a completed questionnaire with the
Company containing information regarding their ownership of such shares, as set
forth in the Treasury Regulations. Under current Treasury Regulations, the
percentage will be set between 0.5% and 5.0%, depending upon the number of
record holders of the Company's shares. In addition, each stockholder shall upon
demand be required to disclose to the Company in writing such information as the
Company may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such
stockholder's actual and constructive ownership of Common Stock on the Company's
status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the Ownership Limit, or such
other limit as provided in the Charter or as otherwise permitted by the Board of
Directors.

                   CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF MARYLAND LAW AND OF
                        THE COMPANY'S CHARTER AND BYLAWS
 
     The following paragraphs summarize certain provisions of the MGCL and the
Company's Charter and Bylaws. The summary does not purport to be complete and is
subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the MGCL and to the
Company's Charter and Bylaws, copies of which are exhibits to the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.
 
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
     The Company's Charter provides that the number of directors of the Company
shall be established by the Bylaws but shall not be less than the minimum number
required by the MGCL. Any vacancy (except for a vacancy caused by removal) will
be filled, at any regular meeting or at any special meeting called for that
purpose, by a majority of the remaining directors or, in the case of a vacancy
resulting from an increase in the number of directors, by a majority of the
entire Board of Directors. A vacancy resulting from removal will be filled by
the stockholders at the next annual meeting of stockholders or at a special
meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose. The Charter provides that a
majority of the Board must be Independent Directors.
 
     Pursuant to the Charter, the directors are divided into three classes as
nearly equal in size as practicable. One class will hold office initially for a
term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 1998, another
class will hold office initially for a term expiring at the annual meeting of
stockholders to be held in 1999 and another class will hold office initially for
a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2000. As the
term of each class expires, directors in that class will be elected for a term
of three years and until their successors are duly elected and qualified and the
directors in the other two classes will continue in office. The Company believes
that classification of the Board of Directors will help to assure the continuity
and stability of the Company's business strategies and policies as determined by
the Board of Directors.
 
     The classified director provision could have the effect of making the
removal of incumbent directors more time consuming and difficult, which could
discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to
obtain control of the Company, even though such an attempt might be beneficial
to the Company and its stockholders. At least two annual meetings of
stockholders, instead of one, will generally be required to effect a change in a
majority of the Board of Directors. Thus, the classified board provision could
increase the likelihood that incumbent directors will retain their positions.
Holders of shares of Common Stock will have no right to cumulative voting for
the election of directors. Consequently, at each annual meeting of stockholders,
the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock will be able to elect
all of the successors of the class of directors whose term expires at that
meeting.
 
     PPD has the right to nominate two persons for election to the Board of
Directors of the Company so long as PPD and its affiliates collectively
beneficially own at least 25% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS
 
     While the MGCL and the Charter empower the stockholders to fill vacancies
in the Board of Directors that are caused by the removal of a director, the
Charter precludes stockholders from removing incumbent directors except for
cause and upon a substantial affirmative vote. Specifically, the Charter
provides that a director may be removed only for cause (as defined in the
Charter) and only by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes
entitled to be cast in the election of directors. This provision, when coupled
with the provision in the Bylaws authorizing the Board of Directors to fill
vacant directorships, precludes stockholders from removing incumbent directors
except for cause and a substantial affirmative vote and filling the vacancies
created by such removal with their own nominees.
 
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
 
     Under the MGCL, certain "business combinations" (including a merger,
consolidation, share exchange, or, in certain circumstances, an asset transfer
or issuance or reclassification of equity securities) between the Company and an
Interested Stockholder or an affiliate thereof are prohibited for five years
after the most recent date on which the person who beneficially owns 10% or more
of the voting power of the Company's
 
                                       67
<PAGE>   72
 
then outstanding shares (an "Interested Stockholder") became an Interested
Stockholder. Thereafter, any such business combination must be recommended by
the Board of Directors and approved by the affirmative vote of at least (i) 80%
of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of the
Company's voting stock and (ii) two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by
holders of outstanding shares of the Company's voting stock other than shares
held by the Interested Stockholder with whom the business combination is to be
effected, unless, among other things, the Company's stockholders receive a
minimum price (as defined in the MGCL) for their shares of stock and the
consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the
Interested Stockholder for its shares. These provisions of the MGCL do not
apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by the
Board of Directors prior to the time that the Interested Stockholder becomes an
Interested Stockholder. The Company has opted out of the business combinations
provisions of the MGCL. Therefore, an Interested Stockholder would be able to
effect a "business combination" without complying with the requirements set
forth above. Stockholder approval is required to opt back in to such provisions.
 
CONTROL SHARE ACQUISITIONS
 
     The MGCL provides that "control shares" of the Company acquired in a
"control share acquisition" have no voting rights except to the extent approved
by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter,
excluding shares owned by the acquiror or by officers or directors who are
employees of the Company. "Control shares" are voting shares of stock which, if
aggregated with all other such shares of stock previously acquired by the
acquiror, or in respect of which the acquiror is able to exercise or direct the
exercise of voting power (except solely by revocable proxy), would entitle the
acquiror to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the
following ranges of voting power: (i) one-fifth or more but less than one-
third; (ii) one-third or more but less than a majority; or (iii) a majority of
all voting power. Control shares do not include shares of stock the acquiring
person is then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained
stockholder approval. A "control share acquisition" means the acquisition of
control shares, subject to certain exceptions.
 
     A person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition, upon
satisfaction of certain conditions (including an undertaking to pay expenses),
may compel the Board of Directors to call a special meeting of stockholders to
be held within 50 days of demand to consider voting rights for the shares. If no
request for a meeting is made, the Company may itself present the question at
any stockholders' meeting.
 
     If voting rights are not approved at the stockholders' meeting or if the
acquiring person does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by
the MGCL, then, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the Company may
redeem any or all of the control shares (except those for which voting rights
have previously been approved) for fair value determined, without regard to the
absence of voting rights for the control shares, as of the date of the last
control share acquisition by the acquiror or of any meeting of stockholders at
which the voting rights of such shares are considered and not approved. If
voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders' meeting and the
acquiror becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares of stock entitled to
vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of
the shares of stock as determined for purposes of such appraisal rights may not
be less than the highest price per share paid by the acquiror in the control
share acquisition, and certain limitations and restrictions otherwise applicable
to the exercise of dissenters' rights do not apply in the context of a control
share acquisition.
 
     The control share acquisition statute does not apply to shares acquired in
a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the Company is a party to the
transaction, or to acquisitions approved or exempted by the Charter or Bylaws
and adopted at any time before the acquisition of shares. The Bylaws of the
Company contain a provision exempting from the control share acquisition statute
any and all acquisitions by any person of the Company's shares of stock. Such
provision of the Bylaws may only be amended with stockholder approval. There can
be no assurance that such provision will not be amended or eliminated at any
time in the future. As a result of the Company's decision to opt out of the
"control share acquisition" provisions of the MGCL, stockholders who acquire a
substantial block of Common Stock are not precluded from exercising full voting
rights with respect to their shares on all matters without first obtaining the
approval of other stockholders entitled to vote. This may have the effect of
making it easier for any such control share stockholder to effect a business
combination with the Company. However, no assurance can be given that any such
business
 
                                       68
<PAGE>   73
 
combination would be consummated or, if consummated, would result in a purchase
of shares of Common Stock from any stockholder at a premium.
 
AMENDMENT TO THE CHARTER AND BYLAWS
 
     The Charter provides that the Charter may be amended by the affirmative
vote of a majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter. The Company's
Bylaws may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of
Directors or the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of
the shares of the Company's stock entitled to vote thereon.
 
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
 
     The Company's Bylaws provide for annual meetings of stockholders,
commencing with the year 1998, to elect the Board of Directors and transact such
other business as may properly be brought before the meeting. Special meetings
of stockholders may be called by the President, the Chief Executive Officer or
the Board of Directors and shall be called at the request in writing of the
holders of shares entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes
entitled to be cast at such meeting.
 
     The MGCL and the Bylaws provide that any action required or permitted to be
taken at a meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting by unanimous
written consent, if such consent sets forth such action and is signed by each
stockholder entitled to vote on the matter and a written waiver of any right to
dissent is signed by each stockholder entitled to notice of the meeting but not
entitled to vote at it.
 
ADVANCE NOTICE OF DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS AND NEW BUSINESS
 
     The Company's Bylaws provide that (i) with respect to an annual meeting of
stockholders, nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and
the proposal of business to be considered by stockholders may be made only (a)
pursuant to the Company's notice of the meeting, (b) by or at the direction of
the Board of Directors or (c) by a stockholder who is entitled to vote at the
meeting and has complied with the advance notice procedures set forth in the
Bylaws, and (ii) with respect to special meetings of stockholders, only the
business specified in the Company's notice of meeting may be brought before the
meeting of stockholders, or provided that the Board of Directors has determined
that directors shall be elected at such meeting, nominations of persons for
election to the Board of Directors may be brought by a stockholder who is
entitled to vote at the meeting and has complied with the advance notice
provisions set forth in the Bylaws.
 
     The provisions in the Charter on classification of the Board of Directors
and the advance notice provisions of the Bylaws could have the effect of
discouraging a takeover or other transaction in which holders of some, or a
majority, of the shares of Common Stock might receive a premium for their shares
of Common Stock over the then prevailing market price or which such holders
might believe to be otherwise in their best interests.
 
DISSOLUTION OF THE COMPANY
 
     Under the MGCL and the Charter, the voluntary dissolution of the Company
must be approved by (i) the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board
of Directors declaring such dissolution to be advisable and directing that the
proposed dissolution be submitted for consideration at any annual or special
meeting of stockholders, and (ii) upon proper notice, stockholder approval by
the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total number of shares
of stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.
 
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION FOR DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
     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 (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money,
property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a
final judgment as being material to the cause of action. The Charter 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
                                       69
<PAGE>   74
 
(a) any present or former director or officer or (b) any individual who, while a
director of the Company and at the request of the Company, serves or has served
another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director, officer,
partner or trustee of such corporation, real estate investment trust,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise
from and against any claim or liability to which such person may become subject
or which such person may incur by reason of his or her stature as a present or
former director or office of the Company. The Bylaws of the Company obligate it,
to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, to indemnify and to pay or
reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to
(a) any present or former director or officer who is made a party to the
proceeding by reason of his service in that capacity or (b) any individual who,
while a director of the Company and at the request of the Company, serves or has
served another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director,
officer, partner or trustee of such corporation, real estate investment trust,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and
who is made party to the proceeding by reason of his service in that capacity.
The Charter and Bylaws also permit the Company to indemnify and advance expenses
to any person who served a predecessor of the Company in any of the capacities
described above and to any employee or agent of the Company or a predecessor of
the Company.
 
     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 directors and officers and certain other
parties 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 was committed in
bad faith or 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, under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for
an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a
judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly
received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification and then only for
expenses. In addition, the MGCL permits a corporation to advance reasonable
expenses to a director or officer upon the corporation's receipt of (a) 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
and (b) a written statement by him 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 termination of any proceeding by
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of
any order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that
the director or officer did not meet the requisite standard of conduct required
for indemnification to be permitted. The termination of any proceeding by
judgment, order, or settlement does not create a presumption that the director
did not meet the requisite standard of conduct.
 
     This provision does not limit the right of the Company or its stockholders
to obtain other relief, such as an injunction or rescission.
 
     The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its
executive officers and directors. The indemnification agreements require, among
other matters, that the Company indemnify its executive officers and directors
to the fullest extent permitted by law and advance to the executive officers and
directors all related expenses, subject to reimbursement if it is subsequently
determined that indemnification is not permitted. Under the indemnification
agreements, the Company must also indemnify and advance all expenses incurred by
executive officers and directors seeking to enforce their rights under the
indemnification agreements and may cover executive officers and directors under
the Company's directors' and officers' liability insurance. Although the form of
indemnification agreement offers substantially the same scope of coverage
afforded by law, it provides greater assurance to directors and executive
officers that indemnification will be available, because, as a contract, it
cannot be modified unilaterally in the future by the Board of Directors or the
stockholders to eliminate the rights it provides.
 
                                       70

                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
     Upon the completion of the Offering, the Company will have outstanding
20,814,012 shares of Common Stock (21,414,012 shares if the Underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full and PPD exercises its additional
participation rights in full). The shares of Common Stock issued in the Offering
will be freely tradable by persons other than "affiliates" of the Company
without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, subject to
the limitations on ownership set forth in the Charter. See "Description of
Capital Stock--Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer." The shares of Common
Stock owned by PPD and Stuart Tanz and the other members of senior management of
the Company (the "Restricted Shares") are "restricted" securities under the
meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144") and may
not be sold in the absence of registration under the Securities Act unless an
exemption from registration is available, including exemptions contained in Rule
144. As described below under "--Registration Rights," the Company has granted
certain holders registration rights with respect to their shares of Common
Stock.
 
     In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, if one year has elapsed
since the later of the date of acquisition of Restricted Shares from the Company
or any "affiliate" of the Company, as that term is defined under the Securities
Act, the acquiror or subsequent holder thereof is entitled to sell within any
three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of
the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or the average weekly trading volume
of the Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which
notice of the sale is filed with the Commission. Sales under Rule 144 are also
subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the
availability of current public information about the Company. If two years have
elapsed since the date of acquisition of Restricted Shares from the Company or
from any "affiliate" of the Company, and the acquiror or subsequent holder
thereof is deemed not to have been an affiliate of the Company at any time
during the 90 days preceding a sale, such person is entitled to sell such shares
in the public market under Rule 144(k) without regard to the volume limitations,
manner of sale provisions, public information requirements or notice
requirements.
 
     The Company, Stuart Tanz and the other executive officers and directors of
the Company have agreed not to, directly or indirectly, without the prior
written consent of Prudential Securities Incorporated, on behalf of the
underwriters in the IPO, offer, sell, offer to sell, contract to sell, pledge,
grant any option to purchase or otherwise sell or dispose (or announce any
offer, sale, offer of sale, contract of sale, pledge, grant of any option to
purchase or other sale or disposition) of any shares of Common Stock or other
capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into, or exchangeable
or exercisable for, shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the
Company, for a period of three years after the consummation of the IPO in August
1997. Prudential Securities Incorporated may, at any time and without notice,
release all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock subject to such lock-up
agreements.
 
   
     PPD and Revenue Properties have agreed not to, directly or indirectly,
without the prior written consent of Prudential Securities Incorporated, on
behalf of the underwriters in the IPO and the Offering, offer, sell, offer to
sell, contract to sell, pledge (except as contemplated below), grant any option
to purchase or otherwise sell or dispose (or announce any offer, sale, offer of
sale, contract of sale, pledge, grant of an option to purchase or other sale or
disposition) of any shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company
or any securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, shares
of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company, for a period of three
years after the consummation of the IPO; provided, however, that, due to certain
tax considerations affecting the Company, PPD's lock-up agreement applies only
to 4,162,702 shares of Common Stock owned by it (representing approximately
39.2% of PPD's interest in the Company immediately following the consummation of
the Offering and PPD's exercise of its participation rights) and permits PPD to
pledge of all of its shares of Common Stock, including the shares purchased by
PPD upon the exercise of its participation rights, to an affiliate of Prudential
Securities Incorporated as security for the three year margin loan effectuated
upon the consummation of the IPO which is being modified in connection with this
Offering to facilitate PPD's exercise of its participation rights. Although PPD
was willing to enter into a lock-up agreement for all of the shares of Common
Stock owned by it for a three year period following the Offering, PPD's lock-up
is limited to 4,162,702 shares due to potential tax considerations affecting the
Company.
    
 
     It should be noted that PPD shall at times be subject to the restrictions
on resale of Common Stock as promulgated by Rule 144 in that, barring the filing
of a registration statement in connection with the resale by
 
                                       71
<PAGE>   76
 
PPD of the Common Stock, PPD shall not resell shares of Common Stock until
August 1998, and the amount of such resale for each consecutive three month
period shall not exceed the greater of (i) 1% of the shares of Common Stock
outstanding or (ii) the average weekly trading volume in such shares of Common
Stock reported on all national securities exchanges and/or reported through the
automated quotation system of a registered securities association for the four
calendar weeks specified in Rule 144 or (iii) the average weekly trading volume
in such shares of Common Stock reported an all national securities exchanges
and/or reported through the consolidated transaction reporting system
contemplated by Rule 11Aa3-1 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act") for the four calendar weeks specified in Rule 144, as long as
PPD remains an affiliate of the Company.
 
     Neither the Company, Revenue Properties nor PPD will cause any shelf or
other registration statement for the resale of Common Stock of the Company owned
by Revenue Properties, PPD or any of their corporate affiliates to be filed with
the Commission for a period of three years from the date of completion of the
IPO in August 1997 without the prior written consent of Prudential Securities
Incorporated; provided, however, that the filing of a registration statement to
cover the resale of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of remedies
upon the occurrence of an event of default pursuant to the pledge by Revenue
Properties or PPD of all of its respective shares of Common Stock to an
affiliate of Prudential Securities Incorporated or its transferees shall be
permitted, and the Company has agreed to effectuate such filing on the one year
anniversary of the consummation of the IPO.
 
   
     The Company has established the 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan for
the purpose of attracting and retaining directors, executive officers and other
key employees. See "Management--Compensation of Directors." In connection with
the IPO, the Company issued options to purchase 900,000 shares of Common Stock
to directors, executive officers and certain key employees and awarded 130,000
shares of restricted stock to members of senior management. Since the IPO, the
Company has issued options to purchase an additional 277,500 shares of Common
Stock to its directors, executive officers and certain key employees.
    
 
     No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of
shares of Common Stock (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) or the
availability of shares of Common Stock for future sale will have on the market
price prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of shares of
Common Stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely
affect prevailing market prices of the shares of Common Stock and impair the
Company's ability to obtain additional capital through the sale of equity
securities. See "Risk Factors--Effect on Common Stock Price of Shares Available
for Future Sale." For a description of certain restrictions on transfers of
Common Stock held by certain stockholders of the Company, see "Underwriting" and
"Description of Capital Stock--Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer."
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
   
     In connection with the IPO, the Company granted PPD and Stuart Tanz certain
registration rights (collectively, the "Registration Rights") with respect to
the shares of Common Stock received by them (the "Registrable Shares"). The
Company has agreed to file and generally keep continuously effective, beginning
three years after the completion of the IPO in August 1997, a registration
statement covering the resale of shares of Common Stock owned by PPD (subject to
certain exceptions; see "Underwriting") and Stuart Tanz. In addition, the
Company has granted PPD piggyback registration rights, three years after
completion of the IPO, with respect to shares of Common Stock acquired by PPD by
any means. The Company will bear expenses incident to its registration
obligations upon exercise of the Registration Rights, including the payment of
federal securities law and state Blue Sky registration fees, except that it will
not bear any underwriting discounts or commissions or transfer taxes relating to
registration of Registrable Shares.
    
 
REINVESTMENT AND SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
 
     The Company is considering the adoption of a Distribution Reinvestment and
Share Purchase Plan that would allow stockholders to automatically reinvest cash
distributions on their outstanding shares of Common Stock to purchase additional
shares of Common Stock possibly at a discounted price and without the payment of
any brokerage commission or service charge. Stockholders would also have the
option of investing limited additional amounts by making cash payments. No
decision has been made yet by the Company whether or not to adopt such a plan
and there can be no assurance that such a plan will ever be adopted by the
Company.

                        FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
     The following summary of material federal income tax considerations
regarding the Company and the Offering is based on current law, is for general
information only and is not tax advice. The information set forth below, to the
extent that it constitutes matters of law, summaries of legal matters or legal
conclusions, is the opinion of Latham & Watkins, tax counsel to the Company, as
to the material federal income tax considerations relevant to purchasers of the
Common Stock. This discussion is based on the Code, existing and proposed
Treasury Regulations thereunder, judicial decisions and administrative rulings
and practice, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change
at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not purport
to deal with all aspects of taxation that may be relevant to particular
stockholders in light of their personal investment or tax circumstances, or to
certain types of stockholders, including insurance companies, financial
institutions or broker-dealers, tax-exempt organizations (except to the extent
discussed under the heading "Taxation of Tax-Exempt Stockholders") foreign
corporations and persons who are not citizens or residents of the United States
(except to the extent discussed under the heading "Taxation of Non-U.S.
Stockholders") subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws.
In addition, the summary below does not consider the effect of any foreign,
state, local or other tax laws that may be applicable to a particular
stockholders.
 
     EACH PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER IS ADVISED TO CONSULT HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISOR
REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HIM OR HER OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP
AND SALE OF THE COMMON STOCK, INCLUDING THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND
OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND SALE AND OF POTENTIAL
CHANGES IN APPLICABLE TAX LAWS.
 
TAXATION OF THE COMPANY
 
  General
 
     The Company plans to make an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections
856 through 860 of the Code commencing with its taxable year ending December 31,
1997. The Company believes that, commencing with its taxable year ending
December 31, 1997, it has been organized and operates in such a manner so as to
qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code, and the Company intends to
continue to operated in such a manner. However, no assurance can be given that
it has operated or will continue to operate in such a manner so as to qualify or
remain qualified.
 
     These sections of the Code and the corresponding Treasury Regulations are
highly technical and complex. The following sets forth the material aspects of
the sections that govern the federal income tax treatment of a REIT and its
stockholders. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the applicable Code
provisions, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and administrative and
judicial interpretations thereof.
 
     Latham & Watkins has acted as tax counsel to the Company in connection with
the Offering and the Company's election to be taxed as a REIT. In the opinion of
Latham & Watkins, commencing with the Company's taxable year ending December 31,
1997, the Company has been organized and operated in conformity with the
requirements for qualification as a REIT, and its proposed method of operation
will enable it to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and
taxation as a REIT under the Code. It must be emphasized that this opinion is
based on various factual assumptions relating to the organization and operation
of the Company and is conditioned upon certain representations made by the
Company as to factual matters. In addition, this opinion is based upon the
factual representations of the Company concerning its business and properties as
set forth in this Prospectus and assumes that the actions described in this
Prospectus are completed in the manner described herein. Latham & Watkins is not
aware of any facts or circumstances that are inconsistent with these assumptions
and representations. Moreover, such qualification and taxation as a REIT depends
upon the Company's ability to meet (through actual annual operating results,
distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership) the various qualification
tests imposed under the Code discussed below, the results of which will not be
reviewed by Latham & Watkins. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the
actual results of the Company's operation for any particular taxable year will
satisfy such requirements. Further, the anticipated income tax treatment
described in this Prospectus may be changed,
 
                                       73
<PAGE>   78
 
perhaps retroactively, by legislative, administrative or judicial action at any
time. See "--Failure to Qualify" below. With respect to certain legal matters
relating to Maryland law, Latham & Watkins has relied upon the opinion of
Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, LLP, counsel for the Company.
 
     If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it generally will not be
subject to federal corporate income taxes on its net income that is currently
distributed to stockholders. This treatment substantially eliminates the "double
taxation" (at the corporate and stockholder levels) that generally results from
investment in a regular corporation. However, the Company will be subject to
federal income tax as follows. First, the Company will be taxed at regular
corporate rates on any undistributed "REIT taxable income," including
undistributed net capital gains (although stockholders will receive an
offsetting credit against their own Federal income tax liability for Federal
income taxes paid by the Company with respect to any such undistributed net
capital gains). Second, under certain circumstances, the Company may be subject
to the "alternative minimum tax" on its items of tax preference. Third, if the
Company has (i) net income from the sale or other disposition of "foreclosure
property" (i.e., generally, property acquired by the Company by foreclosure or
otherwise upon default of a loan secured by the property) which is held
primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business or (ii) other
nonqualifying income from foreclosure property, it will be subject to tax at the
highest corporate rate on such income. Fourth, if the Company has net income
from prohibited transactions (which are, in general, certain sales or other
dispositions of property, other than foreclosure property, held primarily for
sale to customers in the ordinary course of business), such income will be
subject to a 100% tax. Fifth, if the Company should fail to satisfy the 75%
gross income test or the 95% gross income test (as discussed below), but has
nonetheless maintained its qualification as a REIT because certain other
requirements have been met, it will be subject to a 100% tax on an amount equal
to (a) the gross income attributable to the greater of the amount by which the
Company fails the 75% or 95% gross income tests multiplied by (b) a fraction
intended to reflect the Company's profitability. Sixth, if the Company should
fail to distribute during each calendar year at least the sum of (i) 85% of its
REIT ordinary income for such year, (ii) 95% of its REIT capital gain net income
for such year, and (iii) any undistributed taxable income from prior years, the
Company would be subject to a 4% excise tax on the excess of such required
distribution over the amounts actually distributed. Seventh, with respect to any
asset (a "Built-In Gain Asset") acquired by the Company from a corporation which
is or has been a C corporation (i.e., generally a corporation subject to full
corporate-level tax) in a transaction in which the basis of the Built-In Gain
Asset in the hands of the Company is determined by reference to the basis of the
asset in the hands of the C corporation (such as the mergers of certain PPD
subsidiaries into subsidiaries of the Company) and such basis is less than the
fair market value of such asset at the time of such acquisition (with the excess
of such fair market value over such basis amount being referred to as the
"Built-In Gain"), if the Company recognizes any Built-In Gain on the disposition
of such Built-In Gain Asset during the ten-year period (the "Recognition
Period") beginning on the date on which such asset was acquired by the Company,
then, such Built-In Gain will be subject to tax at the highest regular corporate
rate applicable pursuant to Treasury Regulations that have not yet been
promulgated. The results described above with respect to the recognition of
Built-In Gain assume that the Company will make an election pursuant to IRS
Notice 88-19 and that the availability or nature of such election is not
modified as proposed in President Clinton's 1999 Federal Budget Proposal.
 
  Requirements for Qualification
 
     The Code defines a REIT as a corporation, trust or association (i) which is
managed by one or more trustees or directors; (ii) the beneficial ownership of
which is evidenced by transferable shares, or by transferable certificates of
beneficial interest; (iii) which would be taxable as a domestic corporation, but
for Sections 856 through 859 of the Code; (iv) which is neither a financial
institution nor an insurance company subject to certain provisions of the Code;
(v) the beneficial ownership of which is held by 100 or more persons; (vi)
during the last half of each taxable year not more than 50% in value of the
outstanding stock of which is owned, actually or constructively, by five or
fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities); and
(vii) which meets certain other tests, described below, regarding the nature of
its income and assets and the level of its distributions. The Code provides that
conditions (i) to (iv), inclusive, must be met during the entire taxable year
and that condition (v) must be met during at least 335 days of a taxable year of
twelve months, or during a proportionate part of a taxable year of less than
twelve months. Conditions (v) and (vi) will not apply until after the first
taxable year for which an election is made to be taxed as a REIT. For
 
                                       74
<PAGE>   79
 
purposes of conditions (v) and (vi), pension funds and certain other tax-exempt
entities are treated as individuals, subject to a "look-through" exception in
the case of condition (vi).
 
     The Company believes that the conditions set forth in (i) through (vii)
above have been satisfied. The Company also believes that it has issued
sufficient shares of Common Stock with sufficient diversity of ownership
pursuant to the Offering to allow it to satisfy conditions (v) and (vi). In
addition, the Company's Charter provides for restrictions regarding the transfer
and ownership of shares, which restrictions are intended to assist the Company
in continuing to satisfy the share ownership requirements described in (v) and
(vi) above. Such ownership and transfer restrictions are described in
"Description of Capital Stock--Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer." These
restrictions, however, may not ensure that the Company will, in all cases, be
able to satisfy the share ownership requirements described above, in which case
the Company would no longer be qualified as a REIT; provided, however, beginning
January 1, 1998, if the Company complies with the rules contained in the
applicable Treasury Regulations (the "Stock Ownership Regulations") requiring
the Company to attempt to ascertain the actual ownership of its shares, and the
Company does not know, and would not have known through the exercise of
reasonable diligence, whether it failed to meet the requirement set forth in
condition (vi) above, the Company will be treated as having met such
requirement. In addition, upon completion of the Offering and the exercise of
PPD's participation rights, 51.1% of the Company's stock will be owned by PPD,
which is itself a wholly-owned subsidiary of Revenue Properties, and certain of
PPD's affiliates. There are no ownership or transfer restrictions of the type
described above in effect with respect to Revenue Properties' stock.
Approximately 34% of Revenue Properties' outstanding shares of common stock are
currently owned by the Tanz Family and approximately an additional 19.5% are
owned by Acktion Corporation. If the ownership concentration of the Tanz Family
or Acktion Corporation (or some other party) in Revenue Properties were to
increase, then the Company might no longer satisfy conditions (v) and (vi)
above, and therefore, might no longer be qualified as a REIT. See "--Failure to
Qualify" below. However, the Company's Charter permits the Company to cause the
transfer of such number of shares of Common Stock owned by PPD to a trust having
a charitable beneficiary so as to avoid REIT disqualification.
 
     In addition, a corporation may not elect to become a REIT unless its
taxable year is the calendar year. From its inception, the Company has had a
calendar taxable year.
 
  Ownership of Partnership Interests
 
     The Company owns and operates one or more properties through partnerships
or limited liability companies (in the following discussion of Federal Income
Tax Consequences, references to partnerships and their partners shall include
limited liability companies and their members). In the case of a REIT which is a
partner in a partnership, Treasury Regulations provide that the REIT will be
deemed to own its proportionate share of the assets of the partnership and will
be deemed to be entitled to the income of the partnership attributable to such
share. In addition, the character of the assets and gross income of the
partnership shall retain the same character in the hands of the REIT for
purposes of Section 856 of the Code, including satisfying the gross income tests
and the asset tests. Thus, the Company's proportionate share of the assets and
items of income of any partnership in which the Company is a partner (including
the partnership's share of such items of any subsidiary partnerships) will be
treated as assets and items of income of the Company for purposes of applying
the requirements described herein. A discussion of some aspects of the federal
income taxation of partnerships and their partners is provided below in "--Tax
Risks Associated with Partnerships." The Company has direct control of all
partnerships in which it is a partner and intends to operate such partnerships
in a manner consistent with the requirements for qualification as a REIT.
 
  Ownership of Subsidiaries
 
     The Company owns and operates a number of properties through its
wholly-owned subsidiaries (each a "QRS"). The Company will have owned 100% of
the stock of each of the QRSs at all times that each of the QRSs has been in
existence. As a result, the QRSs will be treated as "qualified REIT
subsidiaries" under the Code. A corporation which is a qualified REIT subsidiary
shall not be treated as a separate corporation, and all assets, liabilities and
items of income, deduction and credit of a qualified REIT subsidiary shall be
treated as assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit (as the
case may be) of the REIT for all purposes under the Code (including all REIT
qualification tests). Thus, in applying the requirements described herein, the
QRSs will be ignored, and all assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction
and credit
                                       75
<PAGE>   80
 
of such QRSs will be treated as assets, liabilities and items of income,
deduction and credit the Company. A qualified REIT subsidiary will not be
subject to federal income tax and the Company's ownership of the voting stock of
such a subsidiary will not violate the restrictions against ownership of
securities of any one issuer which constitute more than 10% of such issuer's
voting securities, nor will the Company's ownership of 100% of such subsidiary's
stock violate the restriction against the Company's ownership of any one
issuer's securities, the value of which constitutes more than 5% of the value of
the Company's total assets, described below under "--Asset Tests."
 
  Income Tests
 
     In order to maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company annually must
satisfy three gross income requirements. First, at least 75% of the Company's
gross income (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) for each
taxable year must be derived directly or indirectly from investments relating to
real property or mortgages on real property (including "rents from real
property" and, in certain circumstances, interest) or from certain types of
temporary investments. Second, at least 95% of the Company's gross income
(excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) for each taxable year must
be derived from such real property investments, dividends, interest and gain
from the sale or disposition of stock or securities (or from any combination of
the foregoing). Third, for taxable years beginning prior to August 5, 1997,
short-term gain from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities, gain
from prohibited transactions and gain on the sale or other disposition of real
property held for less than four years (apart from involuntary conversions and
sales of foreclosure property) must represent less than 30% of the Company's
gross income (including gross income from prohibited transactions) for each
taxable year. The 30% gross income test has been repealed and will not apply
beginning with the Company's 1998 taxable year.
 
     Rents received by the Company will qualify as "rents from real property" in
satisfying the gross income requirements for a REIT described above only if
several conditions are met. First, the amount of rent must not be based in whole
or in part on the income or profits of any person. However, an amount received
or accrued generally will not be excluded from the term "rents from real
property" solely by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or percentages
of receipts or sales. Second, the Code provides that rents received from a
tenant will not qualify as "rents from real property" in satisfying the gross
income tests if the REIT, or an owner of 10% or more of the REIT, actually or
constructively owns 10% or more of such tenant (a "Related Party Tenant").
Third, if rent attributable to personal property, leased in connection with a
lease of real property, is greater than 15% of the total rent received under the
lease, then the portion of rent attributable to such personal property will not
qualify as "rents from real property." Finally, for rents received to qualify as
"rents from real property," the REIT generally must not operate or manage the
property or furnish or render services to the tenants of such property (subject
to a 1% de minimus exception applicable to the Company for its taxable year
beginning on or after January 1, 1998), other than through an independent
contractor from whom the REIT derives no revenue. The REIT may, however,
directly perform certain services that are "usually or customarily rendered" in
connection with the rental of space for occupancy only and are not otherwise
considered "rendered to the occupant" of the property. The Company does not and
will not (except as provided below), (i) charge rent for any property that is
based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person (except by
reason of being based on a percentage of receipts or sales, as described above),
(ii) rent any property to a Related Party Tenant, (iii) derive rental income
attributable to personal property (other than personal property leased in
connection with the lease of real property, the amount of which is less than 15%
of the total rent received under the lease), or (iv) perform services considered
to be rendered to the occupant of the property, other than through an
independent contractor from whom the Company derives no revenue. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company may take one or more of the actions described in the
preceding sentence if, based on the advice of counsel, the Company determines
that such action or actions will not have an adverse effect on the Company's
status as a REIT.
 
     The term "interest" generally does not include any amount received or
accrued (directly or indirectly) if the determination of such amount depends in
whole or in part on the income or profits of any person. However, an amount
received or accrued generally will not be excluded from the term "interest"
solely by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts
or sales. The Company has not derived and does not expect to derive any interest
which would fail to qualify under the 75% and 95% gross income tests.
 
                                       76
<PAGE>   81
 
     If the Company fails to satisfy one or both of the 75% or 95% gross income
tests for any taxable year, it may nevertheless qualify as a REIT for such year
if it is entitled to relief under certain provisions of the Code. These relief
provisions will be generally available if the Company's failure to meet such
tests was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, the Company
attaches a schedule of the sources of its income to its federal income tax
return, and any incorrect information on the schedule was not due to fraud with
intent to evade tax. It is not possible, however, to state whether in all
circumstances the Company would be entitled to the benefit of these relief
provisions. For example, if the Company fails to satisfy the gross income tests
because nonqualifying income that the Company intentionally incurs exceeds the
limits on such income, the IRS could conclude that the Company's failure to
satisfy the tests was not due to reasonable cause. If these relief provisions
are inapplicable to a particular set of circumstances involving the Company, the
Company will not qualify as a REIT. As discussed above in "Taxation of the
Company--General," even if these relief provisions apply, a tax would be imposed
with respect to the excess net income. No similar mitigation provision provides
relief if the Company fails the 30% income test (which test, however, has been
repealed beginning with the Company's 1998 taxable year), in which case the
Company would cease to qualify as a REIT.
 
     Any gain realized by the Company on the sale of any property held (or
deemed to be held) as inventory or other property held (or deemed to be held)
primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business (including
the Company's share of any such gain realized by any partnership in which the
Company is a partner or any qualified REIT subsidiary of the Company) will be
treated as income from a prohibited transaction that is subject to a 100% tax.
Under existing law, whether property is held as inventory or primarily for sale
to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business is a question of fact
that depends on all the facts and circumstances with respect to the particular
transaction. The Company intends to hold the Properties for investment with a
view to long-term appreciation, to engage in the business of acquiring,
developing, owning, and operating the Properties (and other properties) and to
make such occasional sales of the Properties as are consistent with the
Company's investment objectives (and in a manner so as to minimize the risk that
such sales would be treated as prohibited transactions subject to the 100%
penalty tax). There can be no assurance, however, that the IRS might not contend
that one or more of such sales should be treated as prohibited transactions
subject to the 100% penalty tax.
 
  Asset Tests
 
     The Company, at the close of each quarter of its taxable year, must also
satisfy three tests relating to the nature of its assets. First, at least 75% of
the value of the Company's total assets (including assets held by the Company's
qualified REIT subsidiaries and the Company's allocable share of the assets held
by partnerships in which the Company owns an interest) must be represented by
real estate assets, including (i) its allocable share of real estate assets held
by partnerships in which the Company owns an interest and (ii) stock or debt
instruments held for not more than one year purchased with the proceeds of a
stock offering or long-term (i.e., at least five years) debt offering of the
Company, cash, cash items and government securities. Second, not more than 25%
of the Company's total assets (including assets held by the Company's qualified
REIT subsidiaries and the Company's allocable share of the assets held by
partnerships in which the Company owns an interest) may be represented by
securities other than those in the 75% asset class. Third, of the investments
included in the 25% asset class, the value of any one issuer's securities owned
by the Company may not exceed 5% of the value of the Company's total assets
(including assets held by the Company's qualified REIT subsidiaries and the
Company's allocable share of the assets held by partnerships in which the
Company owns an interest) and the Company may not own more than 10% of any one
issuer's outstanding voting securities.
 
     The Company currently holds 100% of the stock of each of the QRSs. As set
forth above, the assets tests provide that a REIT may not own securities of any
one issuer which constitute more than 10% of such issuer's voting securities or
more than 5% of the value of the REIT's total assets. However, since the QRSs
are "qualified REIT subsidiaries" as defined in the Code, such subsidiaries will
not be treated as separate corporations for federal income tax purposes, and the
Company's ownership of the stock of the QRSs will not cause the Company to fail
any of the foregoing asset tests.
 
     After initially meeting the foregoing asset tests at the close of any
quarter, the Company will not lose its status as a REIT for failure to satisfy
the asset tests at the end of a later quarter solely by reason of changes in
asset values. If the failure to satisfy the asset tests results from an
acquisition of securities or other property
 
                                       77
<PAGE>   82
 
during a quarter (including as a result of the Company increasing its interest
in any partnership in which the Company is a partner), the failure can be cured
by disposition of sufficient nonqualifying assets within 30 days after the close
of that quarter. The Company has maintained and intends to continue to maintain
adequate records of the value of its assets to ensure compliance with the asset
tests and to take such other actions within 30 days after the close of any
quarter as may be required to cure any noncompliance. If the Company fails to
cure any noncompliance with the asset tests within such time period, the Company
would cease to qualify as a REIT.
 
  Annual Distribution Requirements
 
     The Company, in order to qualify as a REIT, is required to distribute
dividends (other than capital gain dividends) to its stockholders in an amount
at least equal to (i) the sum of (a) 95% of the Company's "REIT taxable income"
(computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and the Company's net
capital gain) and (b) 95% of the net income (after tax), if any, from
foreclosure property, minus (ii) the excess of the sum of certain items of
noncash income (i.e., income attributable to leveled stepped rents, original
issue discount or purchase money debt, or a like-kind exchange that is later
determined to be taxable) over 5% of the "REIT taxable income" as described in
clause (i)(a) above. In addition, if the Company disposes of any Built-In Gain
Asset during its Recognition Period, the Company will be required, pursuant to
Treasury Regulations which have not yet been promulgated, to distribute at least
95% of the Built-In Gain (after tax), if any, recognized on the disposition of
such asset (together with the preceding sentence, the "95% distribution
requirement"). Such distributions must be paid in the taxable year to which they
relate, or in the following taxable year if declared before the Company timely
files its tax return for such year and if paid on or before the first regular
dividend payment after such declaration. Such distributions are taxable to
holders of Common Stock (other than tax-exempt entities, as discussed below) in
the year in which paid, even though such distributions relate to the prior year
for purposes of the Company's 95% distribution requirement. The amount
distributed must not be preferential (i.e., each holder of shares of Common
Stock must receive the same distribution per share). To the extent that the
Company does not distribute all of its net capital gain or distributes at least
95%, but less than 100%, of its "REIT taxable income," as adjusted, it will be
subject to tax on the undistributed amount at regular ordinary and capital gains
corporate tax rates. Furthermore, if the Company should fail to distribute (or
is not otherwise deemed to have distributed) during each calendar year (or, in
the case of distributions with dividend declaration and record dates falling in
the last three months of the calendar year, by the end of January immediately
following such year) at least the sum of (i) 85% of its REIT ordinary income for
such year, (ii) 95% of its REIT capital gain income for such year, and (iii) any
undistributed taxable income from prior periods, the Company would be subject to
a 4% excise tax on the excess of such required distribution over the amounts
actually distributed. Any REIT taxable income and net capital gain on which this
excise tax is imposed for any year is treated as an amount distributed that year
for purposes of calculating such tax. The Company believes that it has made, and
intends to continue to make, timely distributions sufficient to satisfy these
annual distribution requirements and to avoid or minimize the amount of any
liability for corporate income or excise taxes.
 
     The Company's REIT taxable income has been and is expected to continue to
be less than its cash flow due to the allowance of depreciation and other
non-cash charges in computing REIT taxable income. Accordingly, the Company
anticipates that it will generally have sufficient cash or liquid assets to
enable it to satisfy the distribution requirements described above. It is
possible, however, that the Company, from time to time, may not have sufficient
cash or other liquid assets to meet these distribution requirements due to
timing differences between (i) the actual receipt of income and actual payment
of deductible expenses and (ii) the inclusion of such income and deduction of
such expenses in arriving at taxable income of the Company. In the event that
such timing differences occur, in order to meet the distribution requirements,
the Company may find it necessary to arrange for short-term, or possibly
long-term, borrowings or to pay dividends in the form of taxable stock
dividends.
 
     Under certain circumstances, the Company may be able to rectify a failure
to meet the 95% Distribution Requirement for a year by paying "deficiency
dividends" to stockholders in a later year, which may be included in the
Company's deduction for dividends paid for the earlier year. Thus, the Company
may be able to avoid being taxed on amounts distributed as deficiency dividends;
however, the Company will be required to pay interest to the IRS based upon the
amount of any deduction taken for deficiency dividends.

FAILURE TO QUALIFY
 
     If the Company fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year,
and the relief provisions do not apply, the Company will be subject to tax
(including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at
regular corporate rates. Distributions to stockholders in any year in which the
Company fails to qualify will not be deductible by the Company nor will they be
required to be made. As a result, the Company's failure to maintain its
qualification as a REIT would reduce the cash available for distribution by the
Company to its stockholders. In addition, if the Company fails to qualify as a
REIT, all distributions to stockholders will be taxable as ordinary income, to
the extent of the Company's current and accumulated earnings and profits, and,
subject to certain limitations of the Code, corporate distributees may be
eligible for the dividends received deduction. Unless entitled to relief under
specific statutory provisions, the Company will also be disqualified from
taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which
qualification was lost. It is not possible to state whether in all circumstances
the Company would be entitled to such statutory relief. In addition, President
Clinton's 1999 Federal Budget Proposal contains a provision which, if enacted in
its present form, would result in the immediate taxation of all gain inherent in
a C corporation's assets upon an election by the corporation to become a REIT in
taxable years beginning after January 1, 1999, and thus could effectively
preclude the Company from re-electing to be taxed as a REIT following a loss of
REIT status.
 
CONSEQUENCES OF THE FORMATION TRANSACTIONS ON THE COMPANY'S QUALIFICATION AS A
REIT--EARNINGS AND PROFITS DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENT
 
     A REIT is not permitted to have accumulated earnings and profits
attributable to non-REIT years. A REIT has until the close of its first taxable
year in which it has non-REIT earnings and profits to distribute all such
earnings and profits (the "E&P Distribution Rule"). Failure to do so would
result in the loss of the Company's REIT status. See "--Failure to Qualify." In
a corporate reorganization qualifying as a tax-free reorganization, the acquired
corporation's earnings and profits may carryover to the surviving corporation.
Thus, any earnings and profits treated as having been acquired by a REIT through
such a transaction will be treated as accumulated earnings and profits of the
REIT attributable to non-REIT years.
 
     As part of the Formation Transactions, certain of PPD's wholly-owned
subsidiaries (the "Merger Subsidiaries") were merged (the "Mergers") with and
into the Company or one of several newly formed QRSs of the Company.
Accordingly, any earnings and profits of such Merger Subsidiaries could have
carried over to the Company. In addition, it is possible that certain of the
other Formation Transactions ("Other E&P Transactions") could be treated as
tax-free reorganizations which could have resulted in the carryover of earnings
and profits from other wholly-owned PPD subsidiaries (collectively with the
Merger Subsidiaries, the "PPD Subsidiaries" and each such subsidiary
individually, a "PPD Subsidiary") to the Company. While not free from doubt, the
Company believes, and intends to take the position, that the earnings and
profits of the PPD Subsidiaries remained with the PPD affiliated group and were
not acquired by the Company in the Formation Transactions. For purposes of
applying the E&P Distribution Rule, however, the Company has assumed that the
earnings and profits of the PPD Subsidiaries (the "PPD Earnings") did carry over
to the Company and therefore the Company had distributed (or had been deemed to
have distributed) any such earnings and profits prior to the end of 1997 (the
year in which the Mergers occurred) in order to avoid REIT disqualification for
1997.
 
     The amount of earnings and profits acquired by the Company was based on the
PPD Earnings of each PPD Subsidiary immediately prior to its acquisition by the
Company. The Company has determined the amount of the PPD Earnings through an
earnings and profits study based upon the corporate tax returns of PPD and its
subsidiaries for the tax years beginning with PPD's and each such subsidiary's
date of incorporation through the dates of the Mergers and Other E&P
Transactions. The Company requested that the accounting firm of Arthur Andersen
LLP determine the PPD Earnings for purposes of the E&P Distribution Rule. Arthur
Andersen LLP's determination was based upon PPD's and its subsidiaries' tax
returns as filed with the IRS and other assumptions and qualifications set forth
in their determination. Based on such assumptions, Arthur Andersen LLP
determined that several of the PPD Subsidiaries had earnings and profits, and
that the aggregate amount of the earnings and profits of such subsidiaries
(i.e., the PPD Earnings) did not exceed $350,000 as of the date each such
corporation (or its assets) was acquired by the Company or a QRS of the Company.
 
                                       79
<PAGE>   84
 
     To determine the amount of distributions required to have been made (or
deemed to have been made) by the Company during 1997 to distribute the PPD
Earnings, the Company determined the source of each of its distributions made
during 1997. Only those distributions that were sourced to the PPD Earnings were
treated as reducing such earnings and profits. In determining the source of a
distribution, consideration was generally given first, to the current earnings
and profits of the taxable year and second, to earnings and profits accumulated
in prior years. Accordingly, to distribute the PPD Earnings, the Company was
required to distribute (or be deemed to distribute) during 1997 the sum of (i)
all 1997 earnings and profits, and (ii) the amount of the PPD Earnings.
Furthermore, with respect to annual distributions that were made only in cash
and were in excess of current year earnings and profits, only a proportionate
amount of each distribution was treated as sourced from current year earnings
and profits. That portion of each such distribution that was not sourced to
current year earnings and profits was sourced to earnings and profits
accumulated in prior years (including the PPD Earnings) that are available at
the time of the distributions. Accordingly, distributions made by the Company
during 1997, but prior to the date of the acquisition of the subsidiary or
property which carried over PPD Earnings to the Company, were not treated as
reducing the PPD Earnings. The Company believes that in 1997 it made (or was
deemed to have made) distributions sufficient to carry out all of the Company's
1997 earnings and profits and all PPD Earnings.
 
     The calculation of the amount of PPD Earnings, and whether the PPD Earnings
were acquired by the Company in the Formation Transactions, are subject to
challenge by the IRS. The IRS may examine PPD's or its subsidiaries' prior
years' tax returns and propose adjustments which would have the effect of
increasing PPD's or its subsidiaries' taxable income. Because the earnings and
profits study used to calculate the amount of PPD Earnings is based upon these
returns, such adjustments could increase the amount of PPD Earnings required to
have been distributed. However, the Company would be permitted, within 90 days
of such a determination by the IRS, to make a distribution of such additional
earnings and profits. The Company would also be required, in that event, to pay
the IRS an interest charge based upon 50% of the amount not previously
distributed. If such additional distribution and interest payment were made, the
Company's failure to distribute the required amount of earnings and profits
would not prevent the Company from qualifying as a REIT for years subsequent to
1997 (although the Company would fail to qualify as a REIT for 1997
notwithstanding such distribution and payment). However, even if the IRS should
challenge the Company's calculation of the amount of PPD Earnings, the Company
believes that it will not have had earnings and profits attributable to non-REIT
years as of the close of 1997 and therefore that the Company will qualify as a
REIT for 1997. See "--Failure to Qualify."
 
TAXATION OF TAXABLE U.S. STOCKHOLDERS GENERALLY
 
     As used herein, the term "U.S. Stockholder" means a holder of shares of
Common Stock who (for United States federal income tax purposes) (i) is a
citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) is a corporation, partnership, or
other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or
of any political subdivision thereof, (iii) is an estate the income of which is
subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source, or
(iv) is a trust, the administration of which is subject to the primary
supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States
fiduciaries who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the
trust. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, to the extent provided in
regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996, and treated as
United States persons prior to such date, that elect to continue to be treated
as United States persons, shall also be considered U.S. Stockholders.
 
     As long as the Company qualifies as a REIT, distributions made by the
Company out of its current or accumulated earnings and profits (and not
designated as capital gain dividends) will constitute dividends taxable to its
taxable U.S. Stockholders as ordinary income. Such distributions will not be
eligible for the dividends received deduction in the case of U.S. Stockholders
that are corporations. Distributions made by the Company that are properly
designated by the Company as capital gain dividends will be taxable to taxable
U.S. Stockholders as gains (to the extent that they do not exceed the Company's
actual net capital gain for the taxable year) from the sale or disposition of a
capital asset. Depending upon the period of time that the Company held the
assets to which such gains were attributable and upon certain designations, if
any, which may be made by the Company, such gains will be taxable to
non-corporate U.S. Stockholders at a rate of
 
                                       80
<PAGE>   85
 
either 20%, 25% or 28%. U.S. Stockholders that are corporations may, however, be
required to treat up to 20% of certain capital gain dividends as ordinary
income. To the extent that the Company makes distributions (not designated as
capital gain dividends) in excess of its current and accumulated earnings and
profits, such distributions will be treated first as a tax-free return of
capital to each U.S. Stockholder, reducing the adjusted basis which such U.S.
Stockholder has in his or her shares of Common Stock for tax purposes by the
amount of such distribution (but not below zero). Distributions in excess of a
U.S. Stockholder's adjusted basis in his or her shares will be taxable as
capital gains (provided that the shares have been held as a capital asset). With
respect to non-corporate U.S. Stockholders, amounts described as being treated
as capital gains in the preceding sentence will be taxable as long-term capital
gains if the shares to which such gains are attributable have been held for more
than eighteen months, mid-term capital gains if such shares have been held for
more than one year but not more than eighteen months, or short-term capital
gains if such shares have been held for one year or less. Dividends declared by
the Company in October, November, or December of any year and payable to a
stockholder of record on a specified date in any such month shall be treated as
both paid by the Company and received by the stockholder on December 31 of such
year, provided that the dividend is actually paid by the Company on or before
January 31 of the following calendar year. Stockholders may not include in their
own income tax returns any net operating losses or capital losses of the
Company.
 
     Distributions made by the Company and gain arising from the sale or
exchange by a U.S. Stockholder of shares of Common Stock will not be treated as
passive activity income, and, as a result, U.S. Stockholders generally will not
be able to apply any "passive losses" against such income or gain. Distributions
made by the Company (to the extent they do not constitute a return of capital)
generally will be treated as investment income for purposes of computing the
investment interest limitation. Gain arising from the sale or other disposition
of Common Stock, however, will not be treated as investment income unless the
U.S. Stockholder elects to reduce the amount of such U.S. Stockholder's total
net capital gain eligible for the maximum capital gains rate by the amount of
such gain with respect to such Common Stock.
 
     The Company may elect to retain, rather than distribute as a capital gain
dividend, its net long-term capital gains. In such event, the Company would pay
tax on such retained net long-term capital gains. The maximum rate of tax
applicable to corporate capital gains is 35%. In addition, to the extent
designated by the Company, a U.S. Stockholder generally would (i) include its
proportionate share of such undistributed long-term capital gains in computing
its long-term capital gains in its return for its taxable year in which the last
day of the Company's taxable year falls (subject to certain limitations as to
the amount so includible), (ii) be deemed to have paid the capital gains tax
imposed on the Company on the designated amounts included in such U.S.
Stockholder's long-term capital gains, (iii) receive a credit or refund for such
amount of tax deemed paid by it, (iv) increase the adjusted basis of its shares
by the difference between the amount of such includible gains and the tax deemed
to have been paid by it, and (v) in the case of a U.S. Stockholder that is a
corporation, appropriately adjust its earnings and profits for the retained
capital gains in accordance with Treasury Regulations to be prescribed by the
IRS.
 
     Upon any sale or other disposition of Common Stock, a U.S. Stockholder will
recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the
difference between (i) the amount of cash and the fair market value of any
property received on such sale or other disposition and (ii) the holder's
adjusted basis in such shares of Common Stock for tax purposes. Such gain or
loss will be capital gain or loss if the shares have been held by the U.S.
Stockholder as a capital asset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any loss
recognized by a U.S. Stockholder upon the sale or other disposition of shares of
Common Stock that have been held for six months or less (after applying certain
holding period rules) will be treated as a long-term capital loss, to the extent
of distributions received by such U.S. Stockholder from the Company which were
required to be treated as long-term capital gains.
 
BACKUP WITHHOLDING
 
     The Company will report to its U.S. Stockholders and the IRS the amount of
dividends paid during each calendar year and the amount of tax withheld, if any.
Under the backup withholding rules, a stockholder may be subject to backup
withholding at the rate of 31% with respect to dividends paid unless such holder
(a) is a corporation or comes within certain other exempt categories and, when
required, demonstrates this fact, or (b) provides a taxpayer identification
number, certifies as to no loss of exemption from backup withholding,
 
                                       81
<PAGE>   86
 
and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding
rules. A U.S. Stockholder who does not provide the Company with his or her
correct taxpayer identification number may also be subject to penalties imposed
by the IRS. Backup withholding is not an additional tax; any amount paid as
backup withholding will be creditable against the stockholder's income tax
liability. In addition, the Company may be required to withhold a portion of
capital gain distributions to any stockholders who fail to certify their non-
foreign status to the Company. See "--Taxation of Non-U.S. Stockholders" below.
 
TAXATION OF TAX-EXEMPT STOCKHOLDERS
 
     The IRS has ruled that amounts distributed as dividends by a qualified REIT
do not constitute unrelated business taxable income ("UBTI") when received by
certain tax-exempt entities. Based on that ruling, provided that a tax-exempt
shareholder (except certain tax-exempt stockholders described below) has not
held its shares of Common Stock as "debt financed property" within the meaning
of the Code (generally shares of Common Stock, the acquisition of which was
financed through a borrowing by the tax-exempt stockholder) and such shares are
not otherwise used in a trade or business, dividend income from the Company will
not be UBTI to such tax-exempt shareholder. Similarly, income from the sale of
Common Stock will not constitute UBTI unless such tax-exempt stockholder has
held such shares as "debt financed property" within the meaning of the Code or
has used the shares in a trade or business.
 
     For tax-exempt stockholders that are social clubs, voluntary employee
benefit associations, supplemental unemployment benefit trusts, and qualified
group legal services plans exempt from federal income taxation under Code
Sections 501(c)(7), (c)(9), (c)(17) and (c)(20), respectively, income from an
investment in the Company will constitute UBTI unless the organization is able
to properly deduct amounts set aside or placed in reserve for certain purposes
so as to offset the income generated by its investment in the Company. Such
prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning these
"set aside" and reserve requirements.
 
     Notwithstanding the above, however, a portion of the dividends paid by a
"pension held REIT" shall be treated as UBTI as to any trust which (i) is
described in Section 401(a) of the Code, (ii) is tax-exempt under Section 501(a)
of the Code, and (iii) holds more than 10% (by value) of the interests in the
REIT. Tax-exempt pension funds that are described in Section 401(a) of the Code
are referred to below as "qualified trusts."
 
     A REIT is a "pension held REIT" if (i) it would not have qualified as a
REIT but for the fact that Section 856(h)(3) of the Code provides that stock
owned by qualified trusts shall be treated, for purposes of the "not closely
held" requirement, as owned by the beneficiaries of the trust (rather than by
the trust itself), and (ii) either (a) at least one such qualified trust holds
more than 25% (by value) of the interests in the REIT, or (b) one or more such
qualified trusts, each of which owns more than 10% (by value) of the interests
in the REIT, hold in the aggregate more than 50% (by value) of the interests in
the REIT. The percentage of any REIT dividend treated as UBTI is equal to the
ratio of (i) the UBTI earned by the REIT (treating the REIT as if it were a
qualified trust and therefore subject to tax on UBTI) to (ii) the total gross
income of the REIT. A de minimis exception applies if the percentage is less
than 5% for any year. The provisions requiring qualified trusts to treat a
portion of REIT distributions as UBTI will not apply if the REIT is able to
satisfy the "not closely held" requirement without relying upon the
"look-through" exception with respect to qualified trusts.
 
TAXATION OF NON-U.S. STOCKHOLDERS
 
     The rules governing United States federal income taxation of the ownership
and disposition of stock by persons that are, for purposes of such taxation,
nonresident alien individuals, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships or
foreign estates or trusts (collectively, "Non-U.S. Stockholders") are complex,
and no attempt is made herein to provide more than a brief summary of such
rules. Accordingly, the discussion does not address all aspects of United States
federal income tax and does not address state, local or foreign tax consequences
that may be relevant to a Non-U.S. Stockholder in light of its particular
circumstances, including, for example, if the investment in the Company is
connected to the conduct by a Non-U.S. Stockholder of a U.S. trade or business.
In addition, this discussion is based on current law, which is subject to
 
                                       82
<PAGE>   87
 
change, and assumes that the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT.
Prospective Non-U.S. Stockholders should consult with their own tax advisers to
determine the impact of federal, state, local and foreign income tax laws with
regard to an investment in Common Stock, including any reporting requirements.
 
   
  Distributions
    
   
    
 
     Distributions by the Company to a Non-U.S. Stockholder that are neither
attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by the Company of United States
real property interests nor designated by the Company as capital gains dividends
will be treated as dividends of ordinary income, to the extent that they are
made out of current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Company. Such
distributions ordinarily will be subject to withholding of United States federal
income tax on a gross basis (that is, without allowance of deductions) at a 30%
rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty,
unless the dividends are treated as effectively connected with the conduct by
the Non-U.S. Stockholder of a United States trade or business or, if an income
tax treaty applies, as attributable to a United States permanent establishment
of the Non-U.S. stockholder. Dividends that are effectively connected with such
a United States trade or business (or, if an income tax treaty applies, that are
attributable to a United States permanent establishment of the Non-U.S.
Stockholder) will be subject to tax on a net basis (that is, after allowance of
deductions) at graduated rates, in the same manner as U.S. Stockholders are
taxed with respect to such dividends and are generally not subject to
withholding. Any such dividends received by a Non-U.S. Stockholder that is a
corporation may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30%
rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.
 
     Pursuant to current Treasury Regulations, dividends paid to an address in a
country outside the United States are generally presumed to be paid to a
resident of such country for purposes of determining the applicability of
withholding discussed above and the applicability of a tax treaty rate. Under
certain treaties, lower withholding rates generally applicable to dividends do
not apply to dividends from a REIT, such as the Company. Certain certification
and disclosure requirements must be satisfied to be exempt from withholding
under the effectively connected income and permanent establishment exemptions
discussed above.
 
     Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits of
the Company will not be taxable to a Non-U.S. Stockholder to the extent that
such excess distributions do not exceed the adjusted basis of the stockholder's
Common Stock, but rather will reduce the adjusted basis of such stock. If, at
the time of the distribution, the Company is not a "domestically-controlled
REIT," then the Common Stock will constitute a "United States real property
interest" and the distribution will therefore be subject to the Foreign
Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 ("FIRPTA"). See "--Sale of Common
Stock" below. For FIRPTA withholding purposes (discussed below), such
distributions (i.e., distributions that are not made out of earnings and
profits) will be treated as consideration for the sale or exchange of shares of
Common Stock. To the extent that such distributions exceed the adjusted basis of
a Non-U.S. Stockholder's Common Stock, they will give rise to gain from the sale
or exchange of his or her stock, the tax treatment of which is described below.
If it cannot be determined at the time a distribution is made whether or not
such distribution will be in excess of current and accumulated earnings and
profits, the distribution will generally be treated as a dividend for
withholding purposes. However, amounts thus withheld are generally refundable if
it is subsequently determined that such distribution was, in fact, in excess of
current and accumulated earnings and profits of the Company. A Non-U.S.
Stockholder may obtain such a refund by filing the appropriate claim for refund
with the IRS.
 
     Distributions to a Non-U.S. Stockholder that are designated by the Company
at the time of distribution as capital gains dividends (other than those arising
from the disposition of a United States real property interest) generally will
not be subject to United States federal income taxation, unless (i) investment
in the Common Stock is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Stockholder's
United States trade or business (or, if an income tax treaty applies, is
attributable to a United States permanent \establishment of the Non-U.S.
Stockholder, in which case the Non-U.S. Stockholder will be subject to the same
treatment as domestic stockholders with respect to such gain (except that a
stockholder that is a foreign corporation may also be subject to the 30% branch
profits tax, as discussed above), or (ii) the Non-U.S. Stockholder is a
nonresident alien individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or
more during the taxable year and has a "tax
 
                                       83
<PAGE>   88
 
home" in the United States, in which case the nonresident alien individual will
be subject to a 30% tax on the individual's capital gains.
 
     Distributions to a Non-U.S. Stockholder that are attributable to gain from
sales or exchanges by the Company of United States real property interests will
cause the Non-U.S. Stockholder to be treated as recognizing such gain as income
effectively connected with a United States trade or business. A Non-U.S.
Stockholder would thus generally be entitled to offset its gross income by
allowable deductions and would pay tax on the resulting taxable income at the
same rates applicable to domestic stockholders (subject to a special alternative
minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals). Also, such gain may
be subject to a 30% branch profits tax in the hands of a Non-U.S. Stockholder
that is a corporation and is not entitled to treaty relief or exemption, as
discussed above. The Company is required to withhold tax equal to 35% of the
amount of any such distribution. That amount is creditable against the Non-U.S.
Stockholder's United States federal income tax liability. To the extent that
such withholding exceeds the actual tax owed by the Non-U.S. Stockholder, the
Non-U.S. Stockholder may claim a refund from the IRS.
 
     The Company or any nominee (e.g., a broker holding shares in street name)
may rely on a certificate of non-foreign status on Form W-8 or Form W-9 to
determine whether withholding is required on gains realized from the disposition
of United States real property interests. A domestic person who holds shares of
Common Stock on behalf of a Non-U.S. Stockholder will generally bear the burden
of withholding, provided that the Company has properly provided a required
notice and certain other requirements are met.
 
   
  Sale of Common Stock
    
 
     Gain recognized by a Non-U.S. Stockholder upon the sale or exchange of
shares of Common Stock generally will not be subject to United States taxation
unless such shares constitute a "United States real property interest" within
the meaning of the FIRPTA. The Common Stock will not constitute a "United States
real property interest" so long as the Company is a "domestically controlled
REIT." A "domestically controlled REIT" is a REIT in which at all times during a
specified testing period less than 50% in value of its stock is held directly or
indirectly by Non-U.S. Stockholders. At the close of the Offering, it is
expected that in excess of 50% in value of the stock of the Company will be
owned by PPD, which is in turn 100% owned by Revenue Properties, a Canadian
corporation. It is not clear whether Revenue Properties' indirect ownership of
stock of the Company will prevent the Company from being a "domestically
controlled REIT." If the Company is a "domestically controlled REIT," the sale
of shares of Common Stock would not be subject to taxation under FIRPTA.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, gain from the sale or exchange of shares of
Common Stock not otherwise subject to FIRPTA will be taxable to a Non-U.S.
Stockholder if (i) the Non-U.S. Stockholder is a nonresident alien individual
who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year
and has a "tax home" in the United States, in which case the nonresident alien
individual will be subject to a 30% United States withholding tax on the amount
of such individual's gain, or (ii) the investment in Common Stock is effectively
connected with the non-U.S. Stockholder's United States trade or business, in
which case the Non-U.S. Stockholder will be subject to the same treatment as
domestic stockholders (except that a 30% branch profits tax may also apply as
discussed above).
 
     If the Company does not qualify as, or ceases to be, a
"domestically-controlled REIT," gain arising from the sale or exchange by a
Non-U.S. Stockholder of shares of Common Stock would be subject to United States
taxation under FIRPTA as a sale of a "United States real property interest"
unless the shares are "regularly traded" (as defined by applicable Treasury
Regulations) on an established securities market (e.g., the NYSE) and the
selling Non-U.S. Stockholder held no more than 5% (after applying certain
constructive ownership rules) of the shares of Common Stock during the shorter
of (i) the period during which the taxpayer held such shares, or (ii) the 5-year
period ending on the date of the disposition of such shares. If gain on the sale
or exchange of shares of Common Stock were subject to taxation under FIRPTA, the
Non-U.S. Stockholder may be subject to regular United States income tax with
respect to such gain in the same manner as a U.S. Stockholder (subject to any
applicable alternative minimum tax, a special alternative minimum tax in the
case of nonresident alien individuals and the possible application of the 30%
branch profits tax in the case of foreign corporations), and the purchaser of
the stock would be required to withhold and remit to the IRS 10% of the purchase
price. The 10% withholding tax will not apply if the shares are "regularly
traded" on an established securities market.

  Backup Withholding Tax and Information Reporting
    
 
     Backup withholding tax (which generally is a withholding tax imposed at the
rate of 31% on certain payments to persons that fail to furnish certain
information under the United States information reporting requirements) and
information reporting will generally not apply to distributions paid to Non-U.S.
Stockholders outside the United States that are treated as (i) dividends subject
to the 30% (or lower treaty rate) withholding tax discussed above, (ii) capital
gains dividends or (iii) distributions attributable to gain from the sale or
exchange by the Company of United States real property interests. As a general
matter, backup withholding and information reporting will not apply to a payment
of the proceeds of a sale of Common Stock by or through a foreign office of a
foreign broker. Information reporting (but not backup withholding) will apply,
however, to a payment of the proceeds of a sale of Common Stock by a foreign
office of a broker that (a) is a United States person, (b) derives 50% or more
of its gross income for certain periods from the conduct of a trade or business
in the United States or (c) is a "controlled foreign corporation" (generally, a
foreign corporation controlled by United States stockholders) for United States
tax purposes, unless the broker has documentary evidence in its records that the
holder is a Non-U.S. Stockholder and certain other conditions are met, or the
stockholder otherwise establishes an exemption. Payment to or through a United
States office of a broker of the proceeds of a sale of Common Stock is subject
to both backup withholding and information reporting unless the stockholder
certifies under penalty of perjury that the stockholder is a Non-U.S.
Stockholder, or otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup withholding is not an
additional tax. A Non-U.S. Stockholder may obtain a refund of any amounts
withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for
refund with the IRS.
 
   
  New Withholding Regulations
    
 
     Final regulations dealing with withholding tax on income paid to foreign
persons and related matters (the "New Withholding Regulations") were recently
promulgated. In general, the New Withholding Regulations do not significantly
alter the substantive withholding and information reporting requirements, but
unify current certification procedures and forms and clarify reliance standards.
For example, the New Withholding Regulations provide a certification rule under
which a foreign stockholder who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable
treaty rate with respect to dividends received from a United States corporation
will be required to satisfy certain certification and other requirements. In
addition, the New Withholding Regulations require a corporation that is a REIT
to treat as a dividend the portion of a distribution that is not designated as a
capital gain dividend or return of basis and apply the 30% withholding tax
(subject to any applicable deduction or exemption) to such portion, and to apply
the FIRPTA withholding rules (discussed above) with respect to the portion of
the distribution designated by the REIT as capital gain dividend. The New
Withholding Regulations will generally be effective for payments made after
December 31, 1999, subject to certain transition rules.
 
     THE DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE IN "TAXATION OF NON-U.S. STOCKHOLDERS" DOES
NOT TAKE THE NEW WITHHOLDING REGULATIONS INTO ACCOUNT. PROSPECTIVE NON-U.S.
STOCKHOLDERS ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT
TO THE NEW WITHHOLDING REGULATIONS.
 
TAX RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PARTNERSHIPS
 
     The Company will own interests in several partnerships following the
Offering, and may own interests in additional partnerships in the future. The
ownership of an interest in a partnership involves special tax risks, including
the possible challenge by the IRS of (i) allocations of income and expense
items, which could affect the computation of taxable income of the Company, and
(ii) the status of a partnership as a partnership (as opposed to an association
taxable as a corporation) for federal income tax purposes. This partnership
status risk should be diminished by Treasury Regulations that were issued on
December 17, 1996 and which are effective January 1, 1997. With respect to the
Company's existing partnership investments, these regulations provide that (1)
previously claimed partnership status, if supported by a reasonable basis for
classification, will generally be respected for all periods prior to January 1,
1997; and (2) previously claimed partnership status will generally be retained
after January 1, 1997, unless an entity elects to change its status by filing a
formal election. The Company believes that it has a reasonable basis for the
classification of the partnerships in which it owns interests as partnerships
for federal income tax purposes and has neither filed nor caused to be filed,
                                       85
<PAGE>   90
 
nor will it file (or cause to be filed), an election to be treated otherwise. If
a partnership elected to be treated as, or was otherwise deemed to be, an
association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, it would
be treated as a taxable entity. In such a situation, if the Company owned more
than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such partnership, or if the
value of such securities exceeded 5% of the value of the Company's assets, the
Company would fail to satisfy the asset tests described above, and would
therefore fail to qualify as a REIT. Further, distributions from such
partnership to the Company would be treated as dividends that are not taken into
account in satisfying the 75% gross income test described above, which would
make it more difficult for the Company to satisfy that test. Moreover, the
interest in any such partnership held by the Company would not qualify as a
"real estate asset," which would make it more difficult for the Company to meet
75% asset test described above. In addition, the Company would not be able to
deduct its share of any losses generated by such a partnership in computing its
taxable income, which might adversely affect the Company's ability to comply
with the REIT distribution requirements. See "--Failure to Qualify" for a
discussion of the effect of the Company's failure to meet any one or more of
these tests for a taxable year.
 
     The Company believes that the partnerships in which it owns interests have
been and will continue to be treated as a partnerships (rather than as
associations taxable as corporations) for federal income tax purposes. The
Company's position in this respect is not binding on the IRS and no assurance
can be given that the IRS will not successfully challenge the status of any
partnership as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.
 
RECENTLY PROPOSED LEGISLATION
 
     As set forth above, upon completion of the offering, PPD, which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Revenue Properties, is expected to hold in excess of
50% of the voting power and value of the stock of the Company. President
Clinton's 1999 Federal Budget Proposal contains language which, if enacted in
its present form, would impose as an additional requirement for REIT
qualification that no person (defined to include certain entities such as
corporations) be permitted to own stock possessing more than 50 percent of the
total combined voting power of all classes of voting stock or more than 50
percent of the total value of shares of all classes of stock. It is not possible
to predict with certainty whether this portion of the President's Budget
Proposal will ultimately be enacted into law, the character and details of the
provisions which would be included in any legislation so enacted and whether and
to what extent such legislation would affect the Company and the stockholders or
whether any such effect would be adverse. Depending upon the final language of
any legislation actually enacted, it is possible that PPD could be required to
dispose of a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to preserve the
Company's status as a REIT, or, pursuant to the Company's Charter, such shares
would be transferred to a trust for the benefit of a charitable beneficiary. See
"Description of Capital Stock--Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer."
 
OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
     As discussed above, the Company acquired a number of properties through the
merger of the Merger Subsidiaries with and into the Company or the QRSs. These
transactions were intended to qualify as tax free reorganizations under the
Code. One consequence of having acquired such properties in this manner is that
the initial tax basis of the Company in the properties is equal to the tax basis
the Merger Subsidiaries had in the properties. As a result, the Company's
initial tax basis in such properties was less than the fair market value of the
properties at the time of acquisition. The lower tax basis reduces the amount of
depreciation deductions the Company is permitted to take, and will increase the
amount of taxable gain (or reduce the amount of tax loss) recognized by the
Company on the disposition of such properties. In addition, any net operating
losses of such Merger Subsidiaries carried over to the Company and, subject to
certain limitations, are available to the Company to offset the taxable income,
if any, of the Company. As a result, any such net operating losses could reduce
the amount of distributions to stockholders which the Company is required to
make.
 
     The Company and its stockholders may be subject to state or local taxation
in various state or local jurisdictions, including those in which it or they
transact business or reside. The state and local tax treatment of the Company
and its stockholders may not conform to the federal income tax consequences
discussed above. Consequently, prospective stockholders should consult their own
tax advisors regarding the effect of state and local tax laws on an investment
in the Company.

                              ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
 
     The following is a summary of material considerations arising under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, ("ERISA") and the
Code that may be relevant to a prospective purchaser (including with respect to
the discussion contained in "--Plan Assets Issue," to a prospective purchaser
that is not an employee benefit plan, another tax-qualified retirement plan, an
individual retirement account or an individual retirement annuity ("IRAs")).
This discussion does not propose to deal with all aspects of ERISA or the Code
or, to the extent not preempted, state law that may be relevant to particular
employee benefit plan stockholders (including plans subject to Title I of ERISA,
other employee benefit plans and IRAs subject to the prohibited transaction
provisions of the Code, and governmental plans and church plans that are exempt
from ERISA and prohibited transaction provisions of the Code but that may be
subject to state law requirements) in light of their particular circumstances.
 
     THE FOLLOWING IS INTENDED TO BE A SUMMARY ONLY AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR
CAREFUL PLANNING WITH A LEGAL ADVISOR.
 
     A FIDUCIARY MAKING THE DECISION TO INVEST IN SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ON
BEHALF OF A PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER WHICH IS A PLAN SUBJECT TO ERISA, A
TAX-QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN, AN IRA OR OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
(COLLECTIVELY "PLANS") IS ADVISED TO CONSULT ITS OWN LEGAL ADVISOR REGARDING THE
SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS ARISING UNDER ERISA, THE CODE AND (TO THE EXTENT NOT
PREEMPTED) STATE LAW WITH RESPECT TO THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP OR SALE OF SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK BY SUCH PLAN OR IRA. A fiduciary should also consider the entire
discussion under the heading "--Federal Income Tax Consequences," as material
contained therein may be relevant to any decision by an employee benefit plan,
tax-qualified retirement plan or IRA to purchase shares of Common Stock.
 
FIDUCIARY CONSIDERATIONS
 
     Each fiduciary of a Plan should carefully consider whether an investment in
shares of Common Stock is consistent with its fiduciary responsibilities under
ERISA or applicable state law. In particular, to the extent a Plan is subject to
ERISA, the fiduciary requirements of Part 4 of Title I, Subtitle B of ERISA
require (i) the Plan's investments to be prudent and in the best interests of
the Plan's participants and beneficiaries, (ii) the Plan's investments to be
diversified in order to reduce the risk of large losses, unless under the
circumstances it is clearly prudent not to do so and (iii) the Plan's
investments to be authorized under the terms of the governing documents of the
Plan. In determining whether an investment in shares of Common Stock is prudent
for purposes of ERISA, the appropriate fiduciary of a Plan should consider all
of the facts and circumstances, including, without limitation, whether the
investment is reasonably designed, as a part of the Plan's portfolio for which
the fiduciary has investment responsibility, to meet the objectives of the Plan,
taking into consideration the risk of loss and opportunity for gain (or other
return) from the investment, the diversification, cash flow and funding
requirements of the Plan, and the liquidity and current return of the Plan's
portfolio. A fiduciary should also take into account the nature of the Company's
business, the management of the Company and the length of the Company's
operating history and other matters described under "Risk Factors."
 
     In addition, provisions of ERISA prohibit certain transactions with a Plan
that involve persons who have specified relationships with a Plan. Provisions of
the Code impose excise taxes on persons who have specified relationships with a
Plan and engage in certain prohibited transactions with the Plan. The
consequences of such prohibited transactions include excise taxes,
disqualification of IRAs and other liabilities.
 
PLAN ASSETS ISSUE
 
     A prohibited transaction may occur if the assets of the Company are deemed
to be Plan assets. In certain circumstances where a Plan holds an interest in an
entity, the assets of the entity are deemed to be Plan assets (the "look-through
rule") for purposes of ERISA and the prohibited transaction provisions of the
Code. Under such circumstances, any person that exercises authority or control
with respect to the management or disposition of such assets may be a Plan
fiduciary. Plan assets are not defined in ERISA or the Code, but the
                                       87
<PAGE>   92
 
United States Department of Labor has issued regulations, effective March 13,
1987 (the "Regulations"), that outline the circumstances under which a Plan's
interest in an entity will be subject to the look-through rule.
 
     The Regulations apply only to the purchase by a Plan of an "equity
interest" in an entity, such as shares of Common Stock of the Company. However,
the Regulations provide an exception to the look-through rule for equity
interests that are "publicly-offered securities."
 
     Under the Regulations, a "publicly-offered security" is a security that is
(i) "freely transferable," (ii) part of a class of securities that is "widely
held" and (iii) either (a) part of a class of securities that is registered
under section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act or (b) sold to the Plan as part
of an offering of securities to the public pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act and the class of securities of which such
security is a part is registered under the Exchange Act within 120 days (or such
longer period as may be allowed by the Commission) after the end of the fiscal
year of the issuer during which the offering of such securities to the public
occurred.
 
     Whether a security is considered "freely transferable" depends on the facts
and circumstances of each case. Generally, if the security is part of an
offering in which the minimum investment is $10,000 or less, any restriction on
or prohibition against any transfer or assignment of such security for the
purposes of preventing a termination or reclassification of the entity for
federal or state tax purposes will not of itself prevent the security from being
considered "freely transferable." A class of securities is considered "widely
held" only if it is a class of securities that is owned by 100 or more investors
independent of the issuer and of one another.
 
     The Company anticipates that the Common Stock will meet the criteria of the
"publicly-offered securities" exception to the look-through rule. First, the
Company anticipates that the Common Stock will be considered to be "freely
transferable," as the minimum investment will be less than $10,000 and the only
restrictions upon its transfer are those required under federal income tax laws
to maintain the Company's status as a REIT. Second, the Company believes that
the Common Stock will be held by 100 or more investors and that at least 100 or
more of these investors will be independent of the Company and of one another.
Third, the Common Stock will be part of an offering of securities to the public
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and
will be registered under the Exchange Act within 120 days after the end of the
fiscal year of the Company during which the offering of such securities to the
public occurs. Accordingly, the Company believes that if a Plan purchases the
Common Stock, the Company's assets should not be deemed to be Plan assets for
purposes of ERISA and the Code and, therefore, that any person who exercises
authority or control with respect to the Company's assets should not be a
fiduciary of a Plan by reason of such Plan's purchase of Common Stock.

     The Company is obligated to sell, and the Underwriters are obligated to
purchase, all of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby if any are purchased.
 
   
     The Underwriters, through the Representatives, have advised the Company
that they propose to offer the shares of Common Stock to the public initially at
the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus; that
the Underwriters may allow to certain selected dealers a concession of not in
excess of $0.64 per share, and that such dealers may re-allow a concession not
in excess of $0.10 per share to certain other dealers. After the Offering, the
public offering price and the concessions may be changed by the Representatives.
    
 
     The Company has granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days
from the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to 300,000 additional shares of
Common Stock at the public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and
commissions, as set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus. The Underwriters
may exercise such option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments
incurred in the sale of shares of Common Stock offered hereby. To the extent
such option to purchase is exercised, each Underwriter will become obligated,
subject to certain conditions, to purchase approximately the same percentage of
such additional shares of Common Stock as the number set forth next to such
Underwriter's name in the preceding table bears to 2,000,000.
 
     The Company has agreed to indemnify the several Underwriters against and
contribute to losses arising out of certain liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act.
 
     In connection with the IPO, Stuart Tanz and the other executive officers

or other capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into, or
exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of Common Stock or other capital stock
of the Company, for a period of three years after the consummation of the IPO.
Prudential Securities Incorporated may, at any time and without notice, release
all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock subject to such lock-up
agreements.

     The Prudential Insurance Company of America, the parent of Prudential
Securities Incorporated, in connection with the contemplated retirement at the
completion of the IPO of the debt on Monterey Plaza, obtained from the Company

     In connection with the Offering, certain Underwriters and their respective
affiliates may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise
affect the market price of the Common Stock. Such transactions may include
stabilization transactions effected in accordance with Rule 104 of Regulation M
promulgated by the Commission, pursuant to which such persons may bid for or
purchase Common Stock for the purpose of stabilizing its market price. The
Underwriters also may create a short position for the account of the
Underwriters by selling more Common Stock in connection with the Offering than
they are committed to purchase from the Company, and in such case may purchase
Common Stock in the open market following the completion of the Offering to
cover all or a portion of such short position. The Underwriters may also cover
all or a portion of such short position, up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock,
by exercising the Underwriters' over-allotment option referred to above. In
addition, Prudential Securities Incorporated, on behalf of the Underwriters, may
impose "penalty bids" under contractual arrangements with the Underwriters
whereby it may reclaim from an Underwriter for the account of the other
Underwriters, the selling concession with respect to Common Stock that is
distributed in the Offering but subsequently purchased for the account of the
Underwriters in the open market. Any of the transactions described in this
paragraph may result in the maintenance of the price of the Common Stock at a
level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. None of the
transactions described in this paragraph is required, and, if they are
undertaken, they may be discontinued at any time.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Directors
Pan Pacific Retail Properties, Inc.:
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pan Pacific
Retail Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries (see Note 1) as of December 31, 1997
and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997. In
connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also
have audited the accompanying financial statement schedule III. These
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements and 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 Pan Pacific
Retail Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial
statement schedule III, 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.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
        (TABULAR AMOUNTS ARE IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT OPTION AND SHARE DATA)
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     Pan Pacific Realty Corporation was incorporated in the state of Maryland on
April 16, 1997 (inception) and subsequently changed its name to Pan Pacific
Retail Properties, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company"). The
Company was formed to continue to operate and expand the shopping center
business conducted by Pan Pacific Development (U.S.) Inc. ("PPD"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Revenue Properties Company Limited ("Revenue
Properties"), and its subsidiaries related to the ownership, leasing and
management of its neighborhood and community shopping centers and a medical
office building ("Pan Pacific Development Properties"). All of the accounts of
PPD unrelated to these activities have been excluded from these consolidated
financial statements. As of December 31, 1997, the Company owned a portfolio
comprised of 33 properties located primarily in the western region of the United
States. Commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1997, the Company
believes it qualifies as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under Sections
856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
     On August 13, 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering of
8,050,000 shares of common stock at $19.50 per share (including 1,050,000 shares
issued as a result of the full exercise of the over-allotment option by the
underwriters on September 8, 1997) (the "IPO"). The aggregate proceeds to the
Company, net of underwriters' discount, advisory fee and offering costs were
approximately $143,284,000.
 
     The following transactions occurred simultaneously with the completion of
the IPO (collectively, the "Formation Transactions"):
 
     O Certain properties were transferred by PPD entities to the Company and
       certain PPD entities were merged with and into the Company.
 
     O PPD advanced cash of $26,486,000 to the Company (the "PPD Contribution").
 
     O The Company obtained a $150,000,000 unsecured credit facility (the
       "Unsecured Credit Facility") which has been and is expected to be used to
       finance additional shopping center acquisitions and for other corporate
       purposes.
 
     O A portion of the estimated net proceeds of the IPO and the PPD
       Contribution were used by the Company to repay indebtedness of the
       Company and to pay transaction costs, including fees and expenses
       associated with the Unsecured Credit Facility.
 
     The transfer of certain properties and the merger of certain PPD entities
with and into the Company was accounted for as a combination of affiliated
entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests.
Under this method, the assets, liabilities and equity were carried over at their
historical book values and their operations have been recorded on a combined
historical basis. A deficit of $93,066,000 was accumulated by Pan Pacific
Development Properties prior to the Formation Transactions. The pooling-of-
interests method of accounting also requires the reporting of results of
operations, for the period in which the combination occurred, as though the
entities had been combined as of either the beginning of the period or
inception. Accordingly, the results of operations for the year ended December
31, 1997 comprise those of the combined entities from August 13, 1997 through
December 31, 1997. Prior to the combination, the Company had no significant
operations; therefore, the combined operations for the periods prior to August
13, 1997 represent primarily the operations of Pan Pacific Development
Properties. The combination did not require any material adjustments to conform
to accounting policies of the separate entities.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
              FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
        (TABULAR AMOUNTS ARE IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT OPTION AND SHARE DATA)
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES
 
  (A) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (Note 1). All material intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated. At December 31, 1997, the
Company consolidated Chino Town Square of which the Company's ownership interest
is 91.5%. The Company has recorded a minority interest for the portion not owned
by the Company. In August 1997, the Company acquired the remaining 10% minority
interest in Tanasbourne Village.
 
  (B) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
     For purposes of reporting cash flows, highly liquid investments with an
original maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.
 
  (C) INCOME RECOGNITION
 
     Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the
leases, less a general allowance for doubtful accounts relating to accrued rent
receivable for leases which may be terminated before the end of the contracted
term.
 
  (D) CAPITALIZATION OF COSTS
 
     The Company capitalizes direct carrying costs such as interest, property
taxes and other related costs to property under development. The Company also
capitalizes certain acquisition related costs to the carrying costs of the
property acquired. These costs are being depreciated over the estimated useful
lives of the properties. The capitalized costs associated with unsuccessful
acquisitions are charged to expense when the acquisition is abandoned.
 
  (E) DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
 
     Depreciation on buildings and improvements is provided using a forty-year
straight-line basis. Tenant improvements and costs incurred in obtaining leases
are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lives of the respective
leases.
 
     Prepaid loan fees are amortized over the lives of the loans and the related
amortization expense is included as a component of interest expense.
 
  (F) IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF
 
     The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to
be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset
to future net cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, expected to be
generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed
of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to
sell.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
              FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
        (TABULAR AMOUNTS ARE IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT OPTION AND SHARE DATA)
 
  (G) INCOME TAXES
 
     As of April 16, 1997, the Company elected to be taxed as a REIT pursuant to
the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. In general, a corporation that
distributes at least 95% of its REIT taxable income to shareholders in any
taxable year and complies with certain other requirements (relating primarily to
the nature of its assets and the sources of its revenue) is not subject to
federal income taxation to the extent of the income which it distributes.
Management believes that the Company has qualified and intends for it to
continue to qualify as a REIT in the future. As discussed more fully in Note 8,
management also does not expect that the Company will pay income taxes on
"built-in gains" on certain of its assets. Based on these considerations,
management does not believe that the Company will be liable for income taxes at
the federal level or in most of the states in which it operates in future years.
 
     Where required, deferred income taxes are accounted for using the asset and
liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for
temporary differences between the financial reporting bases of assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases and for operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such
amounts are realized or settled. However, deferred tax assets are recognized
only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized
based on consideration of available evidence, including tax planning strategies
and other factors.
 
  (H) CREDIT RISK
 
     The Company predominantly operates in one industry segment, real estate
ownership, management and development. No single tenant accounts for 10% or more
of rental revenue. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company
to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash
investments and receivables. The Company places its temporary cash investments
with financial institutions which the Company believes are of high credit
quality. Concentration of credit risk with respect to receivables is limited due
to the large number of tenants comprising the Company's customer base, and their
dispersion across many geographical areas. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the
Company had no significant concentration of credit risk.
 
  (I) NET INCOME PER SHARE
 
     The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings per Share" ("SFAS No. 128") effective for the year ended December 31,
1997. SFAS No. 128 simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share
("EPS") and makes them comparable to international earnings per share standards.
 
     Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders
during the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during each period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the amount of earnings
for the period available to common stockholders during the period by the
weighted average number of shares that would have been outstanding assuming the
issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding
during the reporting period, net of shares assumed to be repurchased using the
treasury stock method.

computation to the denominator of the diluted EPS computation (all net income is

</TABLE>
 
     Earnings per share calculations for 1996 and 1995 are not applicable as
there were no shares outstanding during these years.
 
  (J) STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
     The Company accounts for its stock option plan in accordance with the
provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. As such, compensation
expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the
underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. In October 1995, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 ("SFAS No. 123"), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which permits
entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all
stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 allows
entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide
pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee
stock option grants made as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No.
123 had been applied. The Company has elected to continue to apply the
provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the annual pro forma disclosures
required by SFAS No. 123.
 
  (K) USE OF ESTIMATES
 
     Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reporting of revenue and expenses during the reporting period to prepare
these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  (L) RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
     Certain reclassifications of 1996 amounts have been made in order to
conform to 1997 presentation.
 
3. PROPERTY UNDER DEVELOPMENT
 
     At December 31, 1996, property under development included the construction
of Laguna Village Phase II, a shopping center located in Sacramento, California,
of which $1,342,323 was land.
 
     Laguna Village Phase II was substantially completed and transferred from
property under development to operating properties during the third quarter of
1997.

     (a) Note payable retired in connection with the Company's initial public
offering (see Note 1).
 
     (b) Note payable assumed upon acquisition of property.
 
     As part of the Formation Transactions, $134,217,000 of notes payable were
repaid. In connection with the early pay off of these notes, an extraordinary
loss of $1,043,000 was recorded which includes prepayment penalties, unamortized
financing costs and loan premium.
 
     The Company also has a $150,000,000 Unsecured Credit Facility which bears
interest, at the Company's option, at either LIBOR plus 1.50% or a reference
rate and expires in August 2000. At December 31, 1997, the amount drawn on this
line of credit was $62,450,000 and the interest rate was 7.68%. The credit
facility requires a quarterly fee of .25% per annum on the unused amount of the
available commitment if less than half of the commitment has been used. The
quarterly unused fee decreases to .125% per annum once more than half of the
commitment has been drawn.
 
6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
          The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value
     of each class of financial instruments:
 
          (i) Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, a
     note receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other
     liabilities

        (TABULAR AMOUNTS ARE IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT OPTION AND SHARE DATA)
 
             The carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short
        maturity of these instruments.
 
          (ii) A note receivable and advances from related party
 
             It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of these
        instruments due to the uncertainty of the timing of repayment.
 
          (iii) Notes receivable
 
             The fair value of the notes receivable approximates the carrying
        amount based on market rates for the same or other instruments with
        similar risk, security and remaining maturities.
 
          (iv) Notes and line of credit payable
 
             The fair value of notes payable and the line of credit payable is
        estimated based on the current rates offered for notes and lines of
        credit payable of similar risk and the same remaining maturities.
 
     The estimated fair value of the notes and line of credit payable at
December 31, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

7. STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
     In August 1997, the Company established the 1997 Stock Option and Incentive
Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to which the Company's Board of Directors may grant
stock options to officers and key employees. The plan authorizes grants of
options to purchase up to 1,620,000 shares of authorized but unissued common
stock. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the stock's
fair market value at the date of grant. At the time of the IPO, the Company
issued to certain officers, directors and key employees, 900,000 common stock
options pursuant to the Plan. The stock options were granted with an exercise
price of $19.50, equal to the stock's fair market value at the date of grant.
The stock options have seven year terms and vest 33 1/3% per year over three
years from the date of grant, except for the options granted to the independent
directors which vested 33 1/3% immediately, with the remainder vesting ratably
over two years.
 
     At December 31, 1997, there were 720,000 additional shares available for
grant under the Plan. The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options
granted during 1997 was $2.64 on the date of grant using the Black Scholes
option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: expected
dividend yield of 6.75%, risk-free interest rate of 6.5%, expected volatility of
22.05%, and an expected life of 5 years.
 
     The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its Plan and,
accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock options in
the financial statements. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on
the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, the
Company's net income would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated
below:

     At December 31, 1996, gross deferred tax assets were $31,279,000 and gross
deferred tax liabilities were $8,490,000. Deferred tax assets at December 31,
1996 are primarily related to differences between financial and tax bases of
properties ($6,363,000) and net operating losses carried forward ($24,916,000).
Deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 1996 are primarily related to
differences between financial and income tax reporting of depreciation
($6,433,000) and the recognition of rental revenue ($2,057,000).
 
     The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $22,789,000 at December
31, 1996, which represents deferred tax assets which are not deemed more likely
than not to be realized. During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company
recorded a decrease in the valuation allowance of $228,000.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
              FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
        (TABULAR AMOUNTS ARE IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT OPTION AND SHARE DATA)
 
     At December 31, 1997, the Company had unused net operating losses carried
forward for federal income tax purposes of approximately $12,000,000. The
Company went through a change in control for tax purposes during 1997 which
significantly restricts the use of the Company's net operating losses carried
forward in future years. The net operating losses carried forward expire at
various times through 2010.
 
     As discussed in Note 2(g), the Company elected to be taxed as a REIT,
effective April 16, 1997. Management believes that the Company qualified and
will continue to qualify as a REIT and therefore does not expect the Company
will be liable for income taxes on "built-in gains" on its assets at the federal
level or in most states in future years. Accordingly, for the year ended
December 31, 1997, no provision was recorded for federal or substantially all
state income taxes.
 
     In connection with the Company's incorporation and the IPO, certain
non-taxable mergers were consummated with PPD whereby several wholly owned
subsidiaries of PPD merged with and into the Company. To the extent the excess
fair value of the assets at the date of merger exceeded the aggregate adjusted
tax bases of those assets, a net unrecognized built-in gain was created for
income tax purposes.
 
     In connection with its election to be taxed as a REIT, the Company will
also elect to be subject to the "built-in gain" rules. Under these rules, taxes
may be payable at the time and to the extent that the net unrealized gains on
the Company's assets at the date of conversion to REIT status are recognized in
taxable dispositions of such assets in the ten-year period following conversion.
Such net unrealized gains were approximately $50,000,000 at December 31, 1997.
Management believes that the Company will not be required to make payments of
income taxes on built-in gains during the ten-year period due to the
availability of its net operating loss carryforward to offset built-in gains
which might be recognized, the potential for the Company to make nontaxable
dispositions, if necessary (e.g., like-kind exchanges of properties) and the
intent and ability of the Company to defer asset dispositions to periods when
related gains will not be subject to the built-in gains income taxes. However,
it may be necessary to recognize a liability for such income taxes in the future
if management's plans and intentions with respect to asset dispositions, or the
related tax laws, change.

               NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
 
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses relates to the
operations of San Dimas Marketplace (the "Property"), a community shopping
center located in San Dimas, California. Construction of the Property was
completed in phases during the current and prior year, and tenants began
occupying their units upon the completion of construction as provided in their
leases. The Property was purchased by Pan Pacific Retail Properties, Inc. (the
"Company") for $22,481,740 in cash on January 22, 1998.
 
     The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses has been
prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and accordingly, is not representative of the
actual results of operations of San Dimas Marketplace for the year ended
December 31, 1997 due to the exclusion of the following expenses, which may not
be comparable to the proposed future operations of the Property:
 
     - Depreciation and amortization
 
     - Interest on construction loan which was not assumed by the Company
 
     - Federal and state income taxes
 
     - Other costs not directly related to the proposed future operations of the
       Property
 
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Revenue recognition
 
     Rent revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
individual leases.
 
  Use of estimates
 
     Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the
reporting and disclosure of revenue and certain expenses during the reporting
period to prepare the statement of revenue and certain expenses in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
 
(3) RENT REVENUE
 
     Retail space is leased to tenants under various operating leases with terms
ranging from 3 to 15 years. The leases generally provide for minimum rent and
reimbursement of real estate taxes, common area maintenance and certain other
operating expenses. Certain leases also contain provisions for percentage rent.
 
     Future minimum rentals to be received under noncancelable operating leases
in effect at December 31, 1997 are as follows:

     We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenue and certain
expenses of The Oregon Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 1997. This
combined statement is the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on this combined 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 revenue 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. 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. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     The accompanying combined statement of revenue 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 S-11 of Pan Pacific Retail Properties, Inc. as described in
Note 1 to the combined statement of revenue and certain expenses. It is not
intended to be a complete presentation of The Oregon Portfolio's combined
revenue and expenses.
 
     In our opinion, the combined statement referred to above presents fairly,
in all material respects, the combined revenue and certain expenses, as
described in Note 1, of The Oregon Portfolio for the year ended December 31,
1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

          NOTES TO COMBINED STATEMENT OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
 
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The accompanying combined statement of revenue and certain expenses relates
to the operations of The Oregon Portfolio (the "Properties"), consisting of the
following:
 
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
          PROPERTY NAME                          LOCATION
          -------------                          --------
<S>                                 <C>
Powell Valley Junction............  Gresham, Oregon
Pioneer Plaza.....................  Springfield, Oregon
Milwaukie Marketplace.............  Milwaukie, Oregon
Shute Park Plaza..................  Hillsboro, Oregon
Smith Building (24 Hour             Hillsboro, Oregon
  Fitness)........................
</TABLE>
 
     On February 18, 1998, Pan Pacific Retail Properties, Inc. (the "Company")
purchased Powell Valley Junction, Pioneer Plaza, Milwaukie Marketplace and Shute
Park Plaza in a single transaction with an unrelated seller for $30,350,000 in
cash. On April 7, 1998, the Company purchased the Smith Building from the same
seller for $2,275,000 in cash.
 
     The accompanying combined statement of revenue and certain expenses has
been prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and accordingly, is not representative of the
actual results of operations of The Oregon Portfolio for the year ended December
31, 1997 due to the exclusion of the following expenses, which may not be
comparable to the proposed future operations of the Properties:
 
     - Depreciation and amortization
 
     - Interest on mortgages which were not assumed by the Company
 
     - Federal and state income taxes
 
     - Other costs not directly related to the proposed future operations of the
       Properties
 
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Revenue recognition
 
     Rent revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
individual leases.
 
  Use of estimates
 
     Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the
reporting and disclosure of revenue and certain expenses during the reporting
period to prepare the combined statement of revenue and certain expenses in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
 
(3) RENT REVENUE
 
     Retail space is leased to tenants under various operating leases with terms
ranging from month-to-month to 25 years. The leases generally provide for
minimum rent and reimbursement of real estate taxes, common area maintenance and
certain other operating expenses. Certain leases also contain provisions for
percentage rent.
 
     Future minimum rentals to be received under noncancelable operating leases
in effect at December 31, 1997 are as follows:
