                                    Part I

Item 1. Business

     Background

     Simon Property Group, Inc. ("SPG"), a Delaware corporation, is a self-
administered and self-managed, real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Each share of common
stock of SPG is paired with a beneficial interest in 1/100th of a share of
common stock of SPG Realty Consultants, Inc., also a Delaware corporation ("SRC"
and together with SPG, the "Companies").

     Simon Property Group, L.P. (the "SPG Operating Partnership"), formerly
known as Simon DeBartolo Group, L.P. ("SDG, LP"), is the primary subsidiary of
SPG. Units of ownership interest ("Units") in the SPG Operating Partnership are
paired with a beneficial interest in 1/100th of a Unit in SPG Realty
Consultants, L.P. (the "SRC Operating Partnership" and together with the SPG
Operating Partnership, the "Operating Partnerships"). The SRC Operating
Partnership is the primary subsidiary of SRC. The Companies together with the
Operating Partnerships are hereafter referred to as "Simon Group".

     The Companies, primarily through the Operating Partnerships, are engaged
primarily in the ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition,
expansion and development of real estate properties, primarily regional malls
and community shopping centers. As of December 31, 1998, Simon Group owned or
held an interest in 242 income-producing properties, which consist of 153
regional malls, 77 community shopping centers, three specialty retail centers,
six office and mixed-use properties and three value-oriented super-regional
malls in 35 states (the "Properties"). Simon Group also owned interests in one
regional mall, one value-oriented super-regional mall, one specialty center and
three community centers currently under construction and twelve parcels of land
held for future development (collectively, the "Development Properties", and
together with the Properties, the "Portfolio Properties"). At December 31, 1998
and 1997, the Companies' direct and indirect ownership interests in the
Operating Partnerships were 71.6% and 63.9%, respectively. The SPG Operating
Partnership also holds substantially all of the economic interest in M.S.
Management Associates, Inc. (the "Management Company"). The Management Company
manages Properties generally not wholly-owned by the SPG Operating Partnership
and certain other properties, and also engages in certain property development
activities. The SPG Operating Partnership also holds substantially all of the
economic interest in, and the Management Company holds substantially all of the
voting stock of, DeBartolo Properties Management, Inc. ("DPMI"), which provides
architectural, design, construction and other services to substantially all of
the Portfolio Properties, as well as certain other regional malls and community
shopping centers owned by third parties.

     The CPI Merger

     For financial reporting purposes, as of the close of business on September
24, 1998, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 18, 1998,
Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc. ("SDG"), Corporate Property Investors, Inc. ("CPI"),
and Corporate Realty Consultants, Inc ("CRC") combined their business operations
(the "CPI Merger"). Pursuant to the terms of the CPI Merger, SPG Merger Sub,
Inc., a substantially wholly-owned subsidiary of CPI, merged with and into SDG
with SDG continuing as the surviving company. SDG became a majority-owned
subsidiary of CPI. The outstanding shares of common stock of SDG were exchanged
for a like number of shares of CPI. Beneficial interests in CRC were acquired
for $14 million in order to pair the common stock of CPI with 1/100th of a share
of common stock of CRC, the paired share affiliate.

     Immediately prior to the consummation of the CPI Merger, the holders of CPI
common stock were paid a merger dividend consisting of (i) $90 in cash, (ii)
1.0818 additional shares of CPI common stock and (iii) 0.19 shares of 6.50%
Series B convertible preferred stock of CPI per share of CPI common stock.
Immediately prior to the CPI Merger, there were 25,496,476 shares of CPI common
stock outstanding. The aggregate value associated with the completion of the CPI
Merger was approximately $5.9 billion including transaction costs and
liabilities assumed.

     In connection with the CPI Merger, CPI was renamed "Simon Property Group,
Inc.". CRC was renamed "SPG Realty Consultants, Inc.". In addition SDG and SDG,
LP were renamed "SPG Properties, Inc.", and "Simon Property Group, L.P.",
respectively.

                                       3
<PAGE>
 

     Upon completion of the CPI Merger, SPG transferred substantially all of the
CPI assets acquired, which consisted primarily of 23 regional malls, one
community center, two office buildings and one regional mall under construction
(other than one regional mall, Ocean County Mall, and certain net leased
properties valued at approximately $153 million) and liabilities assumed (except
that SPG remains a co-obligor with respect to the Merger Facility (see Note 9 to
the financial statements)) of approximately $2.3 billion to SPG Operating
Partnership or one or more subsidiaries of the SPG Operating Partnership in
exchange for 47,790,550 limited partnership interests and 5,053,580 preferred
partnership interests in the SPG Operating Partnership. The preferred
partnership interests carry substantially the same economic terms and equal the
number of preferred shares issued and outstanding as a direct result of the CPI
Merger. Likewise, the net assets of SRC, with a carrying value of approximately
$14.8 million, were transferred to the SRC Operating Partnership in exchange for
partnership interests.

     For additional information concerning the CPI Merger, please see Note 3 to
the financial statements.

     The DRC Merger

     On August 9, 1996, SPG acquired the national shopping center business of
DeBartolo Realty Corporation ("DRC") for an aggregate value of $3.0 billion (the
"DRC Merger"). The acquired portfolio consisted of 49 regional malls, 11
community centers and 1 mixed-use Property. These Properties included 47,052,267
square feet of retail space gross leasable area ("GLA") and 558,636 of office
GLA. Pursuant to the DRC Merger, SPG issued a total of 37,873,965 shares of
common stock to the DRC shareholders. DRC became a 99.9% subsidiary of the SPG.
SPG changed its name to "Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc." In addition, the
Management Company purchased from The Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation all of the
voting stock of DPMI, for $2.5 million in cash.

     For additional information concerning the DRC Merger, please see Note 4 to
the financial statements.

     General

     As of December 31, 1998, Simon Group owned or held interests in a
diversified portfolio of 242 income-producing Properties, including 153 regional
malls, 77 community shopping centers, three specialty retail centers, six office
and mixed-use properties and three value-oriented super-regional malls located
in 35 states. Regional malls (including specialty retail centers, and retail
space in the mixed-use Properties), community centers and the remaining
portfolio comprised 90.3%, 6.0%, and 3.7%, respectively of consolidated total
rent revenues and tenant reimbursements in 1998. The value-oriented super-
regional malls are not included in consolidated rent revenues and tenant
reimbursements as they are all accounted for using the equity method of
accounting. The Properties contain an aggregate of approximately 165.9 million
square feet of GLA, of which 98.2 million square feet is owned by Simon Group
("Owned GLA"). More than 4,400 different retailers occupy more than 18,400
stores in the Properties. Total estimated retail sales at the Properties
exceeded $31 billion in 1998.

     SPG and certain of its subsidiaries are taxed as REITs under sections 856
through 860 of the Code, and applicable Treasury regulations relating to REIT
qualification. SPG is self-administered and self-managed and does not engage or
pay a REIT advisor. SPG provides management, development, leasing, accounting,
finance and legal, design and construction expertise through its own personnel
or, where appropriate, through outside professionals.

     Operating Strategies

     Simon Group's primary business objectives are to increase per share cash
generated from operations and the value of the Portfolio Properties and
operations. Simon Group plans to achieve these objectives through a variety of
methods discussed below, although no assurance can be made that such objectives
will be achieved.

     Leasing. Simon Group pursues an active leasing strategy, which includes
     aggressively marketing available space; renewing existing leases at higher
     base rents per square foot; and continuing to sign leases that provide for
     percentage rents and/or regular or periodic fixed contractual increases in
     base rents.

     Management. Drawing upon the expertise gained through management of a
     geographically diverse portfolio nationally recognized as high quality
     retail and mixed-use Properties, Simon Group seeks to maximize cash flow
     through a combination of an active merchandising program to maintain its
     shopping centers as inviting shopping destinations, continuation of its
     successful efforts to minimize overhead and operating costs, coordinated
     marketing

                                       4
<PAGE>
 

     and promotional activities directed towards establishing and maintaining
     customer loyalty, and systematic planning and monitoring of results.

     Acquisitions. Simon Group intends to selectively acquire individual
     properties and portfolios of properties that meet its investment criteria
     as opportunities arise. Management believes that consolidation will
     continue to occur within the shopping center industry, creating
     opportunities for Simon Group to acquire additional portfolios of shopping
     centers and increase operating profit margins. Management also believes
     that its extensive experience in the shopping center business, access to
     capital markets, national operating scope, familiarity with real estate
     markets and advanced management systems will allow it to evaluate and
     execute acquisitions competitively. Additionally, Simon Group may be able
     to acquire properties on a tax-advantaged basis for the transferors.

     Development. Simon Group's focus is to selectively develop new properties
     in major metropolitan areas that exhibit strong population and economic
     growth. During 1998, Simon Group opened two new community shopping centers.
     In March of 1998, Simon Group opened the approximately $13.3 million Muncie
     Plaza in Muncie, Indiana. Simon Group owns 100% of this 196,000 square-foot
     community center. In addition, phase I of the approximately $34.0 million
     Lakeline Plaza opened in April 1998 in Austin, Texas. Phase II of this
     360,000 square-foot community center is scheduled to open in 1999. Each of
     these new community centers is adjacent to an existing regional mall in
     Simon Group's portfolio. In addition, The Shops at Sunset Place, a
     destination-oriented retail and entertainment project containing
     approximately 510,000 square feet of GLA opened in January of 1999 in South
     Miami, Florida. Simon Group owns a noncontrolling 37.5% of this specialty
     retail center.

     Construction also continues on the following projects, which have an
aggregate construction cost of approximately $620 million, Simon Group's share
of which is approximately $347 million:

     .    Concord Mills, a 37.5%-owned value-oriented super regional mall
          project, containing approximately 1.4 million square feet of GLA, is
          scheduled to open in September of 1999 in Concord (Charlotte), North
          Carolina.

     .    The Mall of Georgia, an approximately 1.5 million square foot regional
          mall project, is scheduled to open in August of 1999. Adjacent to the
          regional mall, The Mall of Georgia Crossing is an approximately
          444,000 square-foot community shopping center project, which is
          scheduled to open in October of 1999. Simon Group has a noncontrolling
          50% ownership interest in each of these development projects.

     .    In addition to Mall of Georgia Crossing, two other new community
          center projects are under construction: The Shops at North East Plaza
          and Waterford Lakes at a combined 1,243,000 square feet of GLA.

     Simon Group also has direct or indirect interests in twelve other parcels
     of land being held for future development in nine states totaling
     approximately 942 acres. Management believes Simon Group is well positioned
     to pursue future development opportunities as conditions warrant.

     Strategic Expansions and Renovations. A key objective of Simon Group is to
     increase the profitability and market share of the Properties through the
     completion of strategic renovations and expansions. In 1998, Simon Group
     completed construction and opened nine new expansion and/or renovation
     projects: Aventura Mall in Miami, Florida; Castleton Square in
     Indianapolis, Indiana; Independence Center in Independence, Missouri;
     Irving Mall in Irving, Texas; Prien Lake Mall in Lake Charles, Louisiana;
     Richardson Square in Dallas, Texas; Tyrone Square in St. Petersburg,
     Florida; Walt Whitman Mall in Huntington, New York; and West Town Mall in
     Knoxville, Tennessee.

     Simon Group has a number of renovation and/or expansion projects currently
     under construction, or in preconstruction development. Simon Group expects
     to commence construction on many of these projects in the next 12 to 24
     months.

     Competition

     Simon Group believes that it has a competitive advantage in the retail real
estate business as a result of (i) its use of innovative retailing concepts,
(ii) its management and operational expertise, (iii) its extensive experience
and relationship with retailers and lenders, (iv) the size, quality and
diversity of its Properties and (v) the mall marketing initiatives of Simon
Brand

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
Ventures, which Simon Group believes is the world's largest and most
sophisticated mall marketing initiative. Management believes that the Properties
are the largest, as measured by GLA, of any publicly traded REIT, with more
regional malls than any other publicly traded REIT. For these reasons,
management believes Simon Group to be the leader in the industry.

     All of the Portfolio Properties are located in developed areas. With
respect to certain of such properties, there are other properties of the same
type within the market area. The existence of competitive properties could have
a material effect on Simon Group's ability to lease space and on the level of
rents Simon Group can obtain.

     There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies and other
owners of real estate that compete with Simon Group in its trade areas. This
results in competition for both acquisition of prime sites (including land for
development and operating properties) and for tenants to occupy the space that
Simon Group and its competitors develop and manage.

     Environmental Matters

     General Compliance. Management believes that the Portfolio Properties are
in compliance, in all material respects, with all Federal, state and local
environmental laws, ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic
substances (see Item 3. Legal Proceedings). Nearly all of the Portfolio
Properties have been subjected to Phase I or similar environmental audits (which
generally involve only a review of records and visual inspection of the property
without soil sampling or ground water analysis) by independent environmental
consultants. The Phase I environmental audits are intended to discover
information regarding, and to evaluate the environmental condition of, the
surveyed properties and surrounding properties. The environmental audits have
not revealed, nor is management aware of, any environmental liability that
management believes will have a material adverse effect on Simon Group. No
assurance can be given that existing environmental studies with respect to the
Portfolio Properties reveal all potential environmental liabilities; that any
previous owner, occupant or tenant of a Portfolio Property did not create any
material environmental condition not known to management; that the current
environmental condition of the Portfolio Properties will not be affected by
tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated
third parties; or that future uses or condition (including, without limitation,
changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or the interpretation
thereof) will not result in imposition of additional environmental liability.

     Asbestos-Containing Materials. Asbestos-containing materials are present in
most of the Properties, primarily in the form of vinyl asbestos tile, mastics
and roofing materials, which are generally in good condition. Fireproofing and
insulation containing asbestos is also present in certain Properties in limited
concentrations or in limited areas. The presence of such asbestos-containing
materials does not violate currently applicable laws. Asbestos-containing
materials will be removed by Simon Group in the ordinary course of any
renovation, reconstruction and expansion, and in connection with the retenanting
of space.

     Underground Storage Tanks. Several of the Portfolio Properties contain or
at one time contained, underground storage tanks used to store waste oils or
other petroleum products primarily related to auto services center
establishments or emergency electrical generation equipment. All such tanks have
been or are being removed, upgraded or abandoned in place in accordance with
applicable environmental laws. Site assessments have revealed certain soil and
groundwater contamination associated with such tanks at some of these
Properties. Subsurface investigations (Phase II assessments) and remediation
activities are either ongoing or scheduled to be conducted at such Properties.
The cost of remediation with respect to such matters have not been and are not
expected to be material.

     Properties to be Developed or Acquired. Land being held for shopping mall
development or that may be acquired for development may contain residues or
debris associated with the use of the land by prior owners or third parties. In

optioned properties, Simon Group will conduct environmental due diligence
consistent with past practice.

Item 2. Properties

     Portfolio Properties

     The Properties primarily consist of two types: regional malls and
community shopping centers. Regional malls contain two or more anchors and a
wide variety of smaller stores ("Mall" stores) located in enclosed malls
connecting the anchors. Additional stores ("Freestanding" stores) are usually
located along the perimeter of the parking area. The 153 regional malls in the
Properties range in size from approximately 200,000 to 2.2 million square feet
of GLA, with all but three regional malls over 400,000 square feet. These
regional malls contain in the aggregate nearly 16,000 occupied stores, including
over 600 anchors which are mostly national retailers. As of December 31, 1998,
regional malls (including specialty retail centers, and retail space in the
mixed-use Properties) represented 85.1% of total GLA, 79.9% of Owned GLA and
85.9% of total annualized base rent of the Properties.

     Community shopping centers are generally unenclosed and smaller than
regional malls. Most of the 77 community shopping centers in the Properties
range in size from approximately 100,000 to 400,000 square feet of GLA.
Community shopping centers generally are of two types: (i) traditional community
centers, which focus primarily on value-oriented and convenience goods and
services, are usually anchored by a supermarket, drugstore or discount retailer
and are designed to service a neighborhood area; and (ii) power centers, which
are designed to serve a larger trade area and contain at least two anchors that
are usually national retailers among the leaders in their markets and occupy
more than 70% of the GLA in the center. As of December 31, 1998, community
shopping centers represented 11.0% of total GLA, 13.6% of Owned GLA and 6.5% of
the total annualized base rent of the Properties.

     Simon Group also has an interest in three specialty retail centers, six
office and mixed-use Properties and three value-oriented super-regional malls.
The specialty retail centers contain approximately 763,000 square feet of GLA
and do not have anchors; instead, they feature retailers and entertainment
facilities in a distinctive shopping environment and location. The six office
and mixed-use Properties range in size from approximately 137,000 to 1,033,000
square feet of GLA. Two of these Properties are regional malls with connected
office buildings, two are located in mixed-use developments and contain
primarily office space and the remaining two are solely office space. The value-
oriented super-regional malls are each joint venture partnerships ranging in
size from approximately 1.2 million to 1.3 million square feet of GLA. These
include Arizona Mills, Grapevine Mills and Ontario Mills. These Properties
combine retail outlets, manufacturers, off-price stores and other value-oriented
tenants. As of December 31, 1998, value-oriented super-regional malls
represented 2.3% of total GLA, 3.7% of Owned GLA and 4.0% of the total
annualized base rent of the Properties.

     As of December 31, 1998, approximately 90.0% of the Mall and Freestanding
Owned GLA in regional malls, specialty retail centers and the retail space in
the mixed use Properties was leased, approximately 98.2% of the Owned GLA in the
value-oriented super-regional malls was leased, and approximately 91.4% of Owned
GLA in the community shopping centers was leased.

     Of the 242 Properties, 174 are owned 100% by Simon Group and the remainder
are held as joint venture interests. Simon Group is the managing or co-managing
general partner of all but eight of the Properties held as joint venture
interests.

     Land Held for Development

     Simon Group has direct or indirect ownership interests in twelve parcels of
land being held for future development, containing an aggregate of approximately
942 acres located in nine states, and, through the Management Company, interest
in a mortgage on a parcel of land held for development containing approximately
134 acres. Management believes that Simon Group's significant base of
commercially zoned land, together with Simon Group's status as a fully
integrated real estate firm, gives it a competitive advantage in future
development activities over other commercial real estate development companies
in its principal markets.

     The following table describes the acreage of the parcels of land being held
for future development in which Simon Group has an ownership interest, as well
as the ownership percentage of Simon Group's direct or indirect interest in each
parcel:

</TABLE>             

     (1)  The Operating Partnerships have a direct ownership interest in each
          parcel except Duluth, MN and Mt. Juliet, TN. The SPG Operating
          Partnership has the option to acquire those parcels from the
          Management Company.

     The Management Company has granted options to the SPG Operating Partnership
(for no additional consideration) to acquire for a period of ten years (expiring
December 2003) the Management Company's interest in the two parcels of land held
for development, indicated in footnote (1) to the above table, at a price equal
to the actual cost incurred to acquire and carry such properties. The Management
Company may not sell its interest in any parcel subject to option without
providing certain notice and first purchase rights to the SPG Operating
Partnership.

     The Management Company also holds indebtedness secured by 134 acres of land
held for development, Lakeview at Gwinnett ("Lakeview") in Gwinnett County,
Georgia, in which Melvin Simon, Herbert Simon and certain of their affiliates
(the "Simons") hold a 64% partnership interest. In addition, the Management
Company holds unsecured debt owed by the Simons as partners of this partnership.
The Management Company has an option to acquire the Simons' partnership
interests in Lakeview for nominal consideration in the event the requisite
partner consents to such transfers are obtained. The Management Company is
required to fund certain operating expenses and carrying costs of the
partnership that are owed by the Simons as partners thereof. The Management
Company has granted to the SPG Operating Partnership the option to acquire (i)
the Simons' partnership interests and the secured debt or (ii) the property, if
the Management Company forecloses the secured indebtedness, for nominal
consideration plus the amount of all advances and outstanding debt.

     Joint Ventures

     At certain of the Properties held as joint-ventures, Simon Group and its
partners each have rights of first refusal, subject to certain conditions, to
acquire additional ownership in the Property should the other partner decide to
sell its ownership interest. In addition, certain of the Properties held as
joint ventures contain "buy-sell" provisions, which gives the partners the right
to trigger a purchase or sale of ownership interest amongst the partners.

     Mortgage Financing on Properties

     The following table sets forth certain information regarding the mortgages
and other debt encumbering the Properties. All mortgage and property related
debt is nonrecourse, although certain Unitholders have guaranteed a portion of
the property related debt in the aggregate amount of $706.0 million.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

     Richard E. Jacobs, et al. v. Simon DeBartolo Group, L.P. On September 3,
1998, a complaint was filed in the Court of Common Pleas in Cuyahoga County,
Ohio, captioned Richard E. Jacobs, et al. v. Simon DeBartolo Group, L.P. The
plaintiffs are all principals or affiliates of The Richard E. Jacobs Group, Inc.
The plaintiffs allege in their complaint that the SPG Operating Partnership
engaged in malicious prosecution, abuse of process, defamation, libel, injurious
falsehood/unlawful disparagement, deceptive trade practices under Ohio law,
tortious interference and unfair competition in connection with the SPG
Operating Partnership's acquisition by tender offer of shares in RPT, a
Massachusetts business trust, and certain litigation instituted in September,
1997, by the SPG Operating Partnership against Jacobs in federal district court
in New York, wherein the SPG Operating Partnership alleged that Jacobs and other
parties had engaged, or were engaging in activity which violated Section 10(b)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as certain rules promulgated
thereunder. Plaintiffs in the Ohio action are seeking compensatory damages in
excess of $200 million, punitive damages and reimbursement for fees and
expenses. It is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of this action and
there can be no assurance that the SPG Operating Partnership will receive a
favorable verdict. Based upon the information known at this time, in the opinion
of management, it is not expected that this action will have a material adverse
effect on the Companies.

     Carlo Angostinelli et al. v. DeBartolo Realty Corp. et al. On October 16,
1996, a complaint was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Mahoning County,
Ohio, captioned Carlo Angostinelli et al. v. DeBartolo Realty Corp. et al. The
named defendants are SD Property Group, Inc., an indirect 99%-owned subsidiary
of SPG, and DPMI, and the plaintiffs are 27 former employees of the defendants.
In the complaint, the plaintiffs allege that they were recipients of deferred
stock grants under the DRC stock incentive plan (the "DRC Plan") and that these
grants immediately vested under the DRC Plan's "change in control" provision as
a result of the DRC Merger. Plaintiffs assert that the defendants' refusal to
issue them approximately 661,000 shares of DRC common stock, which is equivalent
to approximately 450,000 shares of common stock of SPG computed at the 0.68
Exchange Ratio used in the DRC Merger, constitutes a breach of contract and a
breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing under Ohio law.
Plaintiffs seek damages equal to such number of shares of DRC common stock, or
cash in lieu thereof, equal to all deferred stock ever granted to them under the
DRC Plan, dividends on such stock from the time of the grants, compensatory
damages for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and
punitive damages. The complaint was served on the defendants on October 28,
1996. The plaintiffs and SPG each filed motions for summary judgment. On October
31, 1997, the Court entered a judgment in favor of SPG granting SPG's motion for
summary judgment. The plaintiffs have appealed this judgment and the matter is
pending. While it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of this action,
based on the information known to SPG to date, it is not expected that this
action will have a material adverse effect on the Companies.

     Roel Vento et al v. Tom Taylor et al. An affiliate of SPG is a defendant in
litigation entitled Roel Vento et al v. Tom Taylor et al, in the District Court
of Cameron County, Texas, in which a judgment in the amount of $7.8 million has
been entered against all defendants. This judgment includes approximately $6.5
million of punitive damages and is based upon a jury's findings on four separate
theories of liability including fraud, intentional infliction of emotional
distress, tortuous interference with contract and civil conspiracy arising out
of the sale of a business operating under a temporary license agreement at Valle
Vista Mall in Harlingen, Texas. SPG is seeking to overturn the award and has
appealed the verdict. SPG's appeal is pending. Although SPG is optimistic that
it may be able to reverse or reduce the verdict, there can be no assurance
thereof. Management, based upon the advice of counsel, believes that the
ultimate outcome of this action will not have a material adverse effect on the
Companies.

     Browning-Ferris Industries of Illinois, et al. v. Richard Ter Maat, et al.
v. Craig J. Cain, et al., Case No. 92 C 20259. On April 4, 1994, a third-party
action was filed by Richard Ter Maat and five other parties (collectively
referred to as "Third-Party Plaintiffs") named as defendants in the above
referenced litigation, which had begun in 1992, against Machesney Park
Associates (the "Affiliate") and approximately 74 other parties (collectively
referred to as "Third-Party Defendants"). That third-party action alleged
generally that the Third-Party Defendants are liable under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C.
section 9601 et seq., and under Illinois statutory and common law for certain
response costs expended and to be expended by Third-Party Plaintiffs in
connection with the claims asserted by Browning-Ferris Industries of Illinois
and approximately 20 other parties (collectively referred to as "Plaintiffs")
against the Third-Party Plaintiffs. In the original lawsuit, Plaintiffs sought
reimbursement of response costs they allegedly incurred and will incur in
response to the release or threat of release of hazardous substances from the
M.I.G./Dewane Landfill located one mile east of the City of Belvidere, in Boone
County, Illinois (the "Site"), and declaratory judgment on liability against
Defendants for such response costs. To date, the Plaintiffs have alleged
response costs in excess of $5.0 million in connection

                                      34
<PAGE>
 
with the Site. In February 1996, the Affiliate settled this pending litigation
by the payment of $40,000 to the original Plaintiffs. Since that date, SPG's
third party casualty insurer responded to SPG's demand, has reimbursed SPG for
its costs expended to date, and has further agreed to defend and indemnify the
SPG against any further loss, cost, or damage with respect to this matter.

  (1)  Includes a $0.4721 distribution declared in the third quarter of 1998,
       but not payable until the fourth quarter of 1998, related to the CPI
       Merger, designated to align the time periods of distribution payments of
       the merged companies. The current annual distribution rate is $2.02 per
       share.

  There is no established public trading market for SPG's Class B common stock
or Class C common stock. Distributions per share of the Class B and Class C
common stock were identical to those for the Companies' common stock.

  Holders

  The number of holders of record of the shares of common stock was 2,488 as of
March 18, 1999. Additionally, the Class B common stock is held entirely by a
voting trust to which the Simons are parties and are exchangeable on a one-for-
one basis into common stock, and the Class C common stock is held entirely by
The Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation and are also exchangeable on a one-for-one
basis into common stock.



  Distributions

  SPG qualifies as a REIT under the Code. To maintain its status as a REIT, SPG
is required each year to distribute to its shareholders at least 95% of its
taxable income after certain adjustments.

  Future distributions paid by the Companies will be at the discretion of the
Boards of Directors and will depend on the actual cash flow of the Companies,
its financial condition, capital requirements, the annual REIT distribution
requirements and such other factors as the Board of Directors of the Companies
deem relevant.

  The Companies have an Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan") which
allows shareholders to acquire additional shares of common stock by
automatically reinvesting cash dividends. Common stock is acquired pursuant to
the Plan at a price equal to the prevailing market price of such common stock,
without payment of any brokerage commission or service charge. Shareholders who
do not participate in the Plan continue to receive cash dividends, as declared.

  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

  None.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

SIMON PROPERTY GROUP, INC. AND SPG REALTY CONSULTANTS, INC. COMBINED

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Selected
Financial Data, and all of the financial statements and notes thereto included
elsewhere herein. Certain statements made in this report may constitute 
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual
results, performance or achievements of Simon Group (see below) to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others,
the following: general economic and business conditions, which will, among other
things, affect demand for retail space or retail goods, availability and
creditworthiness of prospective tenants, lease rents and the terms and
availability of financing; adverse changes in the real estate markets including,
among other things, competition with other companies and technology; risks of
real estate development and acquisition; governmental actions and initiatives;
substantial indebtedness; conflicts of interests; maintenance of REIT status;
and environmental/safety requirements.

     Overview

     Simon Property Group, Inc. ("SPG"), a Delaware corporation, is a self-
administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Each share of common
stock of SPG is paired with 1/100th of a share of common stock of SPG Realty
Consultants, Inc. ("SRC" and together with SPG, the "Companies").

     Simon Property Group, L.P. (the "SPG Operating Partnership"), formerly
known as Simon DeBartolo Group, L.P. ("SDG, LP"), is the primary subsidiary of
SPG. Units of ownership interest ("Units") in the SPG Operating Partnership are
paired with 1/100th of a Unit in SPG Realty Consultants, L.P. (the "SRC
Operating Partnership" and together with the SPG Operating Partnership, the
"Operating Partnerships"). The SRC Operating Partnership is the primary
subsidiary of SRC. The Companies together with the Operating Partnerships are
hereafter referred to as "Simon Group", which prior to the CPI Merger (see
below) refers to Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc. ("SDG") and the SPG Operating
Partnership.

     The Companies, primarily through the Operating Partnerships, are engaged
primarily in the ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition,
expansion and development of real estate properties, primarily regional malls
and community shopping centers. As of December 31, 1998, Simon Group owns or
holds an interest in 242 income-producing properties, which consist of 153
regional malls, 77 community shopping centers, three specialty retail centers,
six office and mixed-use properties and three value-oriented super-regional
malls in 35 states (the "Properties"). Simon Group also owns interests in one
regional mall, one value-oriented super-regional mall, one specialty retail
center and three community centers currently under construction and twelve
parcels of land held for future development (collectively, the "Development
Properties", and together with the Properties, the "Portfolio Properties"). At
December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Companies' direct and indirect ownership
interest in the Operating Partnerships was 71.6% and 63.9%, respectively. The
SPG Operating Partnership also holds substantially all of the economic interest
in M.S. Management Associates, Inc. (the "Management Company"). See Note 8 to
the attached financial statements for a description of the activities of the
Management Company.

     Operating results of Simon Group for the two years ended December 31, 1998
and 1997, and their comparability to the respective prior periods, have been
significantly impacted by a number of Property acquisitions and openings
beginning in 1996. The greatest impact on results of operations has come from
the CPI Merger (see Liquidity and Capital Resources), which was consummated as
of the close of business on September 24, 1998, the merger with DeBartolo Realty
Corporation (the "DRC Merger") which was completed on August 9, 1996, and the
acquisition of Shopping Center Associates (the "SCA Acquisition"), which
included a series of transactions from September 29, 1997 to June 1, 1998. In
addition, Simon Group acquired ownership interests in or commenced operations of
several other Properties throughout the comparative periods and, as a result,
increased the number of Properties it accounts for using the consolidated method
of accounting (the "Property Transactions"). The following is a listing of such
transactions: On April 11, 1996, Simon Group acquired the remaining 50% economic
ownership interest in Ross Park Mall for approximately $101 million. On July 31,
1996, Simon Group opened the approximately $75 million wholly-owned Cottonwood
Mall in Albuquerque, New Mexico. On August 29, 1997, Simon Group opened the 55%-
owned, $89 million phase II expansion of The Forum Shops at Caesar's. On
December 30, 1997, Simon Group acquired 100% of The Fashion Mall at Keystone at
the Crossing, along with an adjacent community center, in

                                      39
<PAGE>
 
Indianapolis, Indiana for $124.5 million. On January 26, 1998, Simon Group
acquired 100% of Cordova Mall in Pensacola, Florida for approximately $87.3
million. On May 5, 1998, in a series of transactions, Simon Group acquired the
remaining 50.1% interest in Rolling Oaks Mall for 519,889 shares of SPG's common
stock, valued at approximately $17.2 million. Please refer to "Liquidity and
Capital Resources" for additional information on 1998 activity.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 1998 vs. Year Ended December 31, 1997

     Total revenue increased $351.4 million or 33.3% in 1998 as compared to
1997. This increase is primarily the result of the CPI Merger ($136.3 million),
the SCA Acquisition ($121.7 million), the Property Transactions ($48.2 million)
and approximately $12.9 million of consolidated revenues realized from marketing
initiatives throughout the portfolio from Simon Group's strategic marketing
division, Simon Brand Ventures ("SBV"). Excluding these transactions, total
revenues increased $32.3 million, primarily due to a $20.2 million increase in
minimum rent, a $10.1 million increase in other income and a $3.8 million
increase in tenant reimbursements. The increase in minimum rents results from
increased occupancy levels, the replacement of expiring tenant leases with
renewal leases at higher minimum base rents, and a $4.3 million increase in
rents from tenants operating under license agreements. The increase in other
income is primarily the result of increases in gains from sales of peripheral
properties ($3.4 million) and interest income ($2.8 million) and a fee ($2.5
million) earned from CPI in connection with the sale of the General Motors
Building in New York, New York. The increase in tenant reimbursements is offset
by a $4.6 million increase in property operating expenses for comparable
properties.

     Total operating expenses increased $186.2 million, or 32.3%, in 1998 as
compared to 1997. This increase is primarily the result of the CPI Merger ($73.8
million, including $27.5 million of depreciation and amortization), the SCA
Acquisition ($66.6 million, including $20.9 million of depreciation and
amortization) and the Property Transactions ($29.7 million, including $12.9
million of depreciation and amortization). Excluding these transactions,
operating expenses increased $16.1 million or 2.8%, primarily due to increases
in depreciation and amortization ($6.3 million), property operating expenses
($4.6 million) and advertising and promotion ($3.7 million). The increase in
depreciation and amortization is primarily due to an increase in depreciable
real estate realized through renovation and expansion activities. The increase
in property operating expenses is offset by a $3.8 million net increase in
tenant reimbursements.

     Interest expense increased $132.1 million, or 45.9% in 1998 as compared to
1997. This increase is primarily as a result of the CPI Merger ($45.5 million),
the SCA Acquisition ($59.1 million) and the Property Transactions ($15.0
million) and incremental interest ($12.7 million) on borrowings under the Credit
Facility to acquire the IBM Properties (see Note 7 to the financial statements).

     The $7.3 million loss on the sale of an asset in 1998 is the result of the
June 30, 1998 sale of Southtown Mall for $3.3 million.

     Income from unconsolidated entities increased $9.4 million from $19.2
million in 1997 to $28.6 million in 1998, resulting from an increase in the
Operating Partnerships' share of income from partnerships and joint ventures
($14.0 million), partially offset by a decrease in the Operating Partnerships'
share of income from M.S. Management Associates Inc. (the "Management Company")
($4.6 million). The increase in the Operating Partnerships' share of income from
partnerships and joint ventures is primarily the result of the addition of the
IBM Properties ($14.5 million) and the CPI Merger ($7.2 million), partially
offset by the increase in the amortization of the excess of the Operating
Partnerships' investment over their share of the equity in the underlying net
assets of unconsolidated joint-venture Properties ($8.7 million). The decrease
in Management Company includes a $6.0 million decrease in development fee
income.

     The $7.1 million loss from extraordinary items in 1998 is the result of
prepayment penalties and write-offs of mortgage costs associated with early
extinguishments of debt.

     Income before allocation to limited partners was $243.4 million in 1998, as
compared to $203.2 million in 1997, reflecting an increase of $40.2 million, for
the reasons discussed above, and was allocated to the Companies based on the
Companies' direct ownership of Ocean County Mall and certain net lease assets,
and the Companies' preferred unit preference and weighted average ownership
interest in the Operating Partnerships during the year.

     Preferred distributions of subsidiary represent distributions on preferred
stock of SPG Properties, Inc. (formerly "Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc." prior to
the CPI Merger), a 99.999% owned subsidiary of SPG.

Year Ended December 31, 1997 vs. Year Ended December 31, 1996

     Total revenue increased $306.5 million or 41.0% in 1997 as compared to
1996. This increase is primarily the result of the DRC Merger ($234.1 million),
the SCA Acquisition ($30.6 million) and the Property Transactions ($28.4
million). Excluding these transactions, total revenues increased $13.4 million,
which includes a $15.4 million increase in minimum rent and a $7.1 million
increase in tenant reimbursements, partially offset by a $7.5 million decrease
in other income. The $15.4 million increase in minimum rents results from
increased occupancy levels, the replacement of expiring tenant leases with
renewal leases at higher minimum base rents, and a $4.4 million increase in
rents from tenants operating under license agreements. The $7.1 million increase
in tenant reimbursements is partially offset by a net increase in recoverable
expenses. The $7.5 million decrease in other income is primarily the result of
decreases in lease settlement income ($3.0 million), interest income ($1.3
million) and gains from sales of peripheral properties ($1.7 million).

     Total operating expenses increased $160.9 million, or 38.7%, in 1997 as
compared to 1996. This increase is primarily the result of the DRC Merger
($113.5 million), the SCA Acquisition ($15.9 million), the Property Transactions
($17.3 million), and the increase in depreciation and amortization ($10.1
million), primarily due to an increase in depreciable real estate realized
through renovation and expansion activities.

     Interest expense increased $85.6 million, or 42.4% in 1997 as compared to
1996. This increase is primarily as a result of the DRC Merger ($61.1 million),
the SCA Acquisition ($13.9 million) and the Property Transactions ($9.1
million).

     The $0.1 million gain from extraordinary items in 1997 is the net result of
gains realized on the forgiveness of debt ($31.1 million) and the write-off of
net unamortized debt premiums ($8.4 million), partially offset by the
acquisition of the contingent interest feature on four loans ($21.0 million) and
prepayment penalties and write-offs of mortgage costs associated with early
extinguishments of debt ($18.4 million). The $3.5 million extraordinary loss in
1996 is the result of write-offs of mortgage costs associated with early
extinguishments of debt.

     Income from unconsolidated entities increased from $9.5 million in 1996 to
$19.2 million in 1997, resulting from an increase in the SPG Operating
Partnership's share of the Management Company's income ($5.0 million) and an
increase in its share of income from partnerships and joint ventures ($4.6
million). The increase in Management Company income is primarily the result of
income realized through marketing initiatives ($2.0 million) and the SPG
Operating Partnership's share of the Management Company's gains on sales of
peripheral property ($1.9 million). The increase in the SPG Operating
Partnership's share of income from partnerships and joint ventures is primarily
the result of the DRC Merger ($4.9 million), the SCA Acquisition ($3.2 million),
and the nonconsolidated joint-venture Properties acquired or commencing
operations during 1997 ($5.0 million), partially offset by the increase in the
amortization of the excess of the SPG Operating Partnership's investment over
its share of the equity in the underlying net assets of unconsolidated joint-
venture Properties ($8.8 million).

     Income before allocation to limited partners was $203.2 million in 1997, as
compared to $131.1 million in 1996, reflecting an increase of $72.0 million, for
the reasons discussed above, and was allocated to SPG based on SPG's preferred
unit preference and weighted average ownership interest in the SPG Operating
Partnership during the year.

     Preferred distributions increased by $16.6 million to $29.2 million in 1997
as a result of SPG's issuance of $200 million of 8 3/4% Series B cumulative
redeemable preferred stock on September 27, 1996 and $150 million of 7.89%
Series C Cumulative Step-Up Premium RateSM Preferred Stock on July 9, 1997,
partially offset by a reduction in preferred distributions ($2.0 million)
resulting from the conversion of the $100 million 8 1/8% Series A convertible
preferred stock into 3,809,523 shares of common stock on November 11, 1997.



     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As of December 31, 1998, Simon Group's balance of unrestricted cash and
cash equivalents was $129.2 million. In addition to its cash balance, Simon
Group has a $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit
Facility") which had $880.8 million available after outstanding borrowings and
letters of credit at December 31, 1998. The Credit Facility bears interest at
LIBOR plus 65 basis points and has an initial maturity of September 1999, with a
one-year extension available at Simon Group's option. SPG and the SPG Operating
Partnership also have access to public equity and debt markets.

                                       41
<PAGE>
 
     Management anticipates that cash generated from operating performance will
provide the necessary funds on a short- and long-term basis for its operating
expenses, interest expense on outstanding indebtedness, recurring capital
expenditures, and distributions to shareholders in accordance with REIT
requirements. Sources of capital for nonrecurring capital expenditures, such as
major building renovations and expansions, as well as for scheduled principal
payments, including balloon payments, on outstanding indebtedness are expected
to be obtained from: (i) excess cash generated from operating performance; (ii)
working capital reserves; (iii) additional debt financing; and (iv) additional
equity raised in the public markets.

     Sensitivity Analysis. The Operating Partnerships' combined future earnings,
cash flows and fair values relating to financial instruments are primarily
dependent upon prevalent market rates of interest, primarily LIBOR. Based upon
consolidated indebtedness and interest rates at December 31, 1998, a 1% increase
in the market rates of interest would decrease future earnings and cash flows by
approximately $15.5 million, and would decrease the fair value of debt by
approximately $800 million. A 1% decrease in the market rates of interest would
increase future earnings and cash flows by approximately $15.5 million, and
would increase the fair value of debt by approximately $1.1 billion.

     Financing and Debt

     At December 31, 1998, Simon Group had combined consolidated debt of $7,973
million, of which $5,670 million is fixed-rate debt bearing interest at a
weighted average rate of 7.3% and $2,303 million is variable-rate debt bearing
interest at a weighted average rate of 6.1%. As of December 31, 1998, Simon
Group had interest rate protection agreements related to $938 million of
combined consolidated variable-rate debt. Simon Group's hedging activity as a
result of these interest rate protection agreements resulted in net interest
savings of $263 thousand for the year ended December 31, 1998. This did not
materially impact Simon Group's weighted average borrowing rates.

     Simon Group's share of total scheduled principal payments of mortgage and
other indebtedness, including unconsolidated joint venture indebtedness over the
next five years is $4,729 million, with $4,315 million thereafter. Simon Group's
ratio of consolidated debt-to-market capitalization was 51.2% and 46.0% at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase is primarily the result
of a 12.8% decrease in the Companies' common stock price in 1998.

The following summarizes significant financing and refinancing transactions
completed in 1998:

     Financings related to the CPI Merger. The cost of the CPI Merger (see
below) included the issuance of 53,078,564 shares of common stock and 4,844,331
shares of 6.50% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to the CPI shareholders.
Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 2.586
paired shares of common stock of the Companies, subject to adjustment under
certain circumstances described in Note 11 of the financial statements. Also
resulting from the CPI Merger, SPG became the issuer of 209,249 shares of 6.50%
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of which is convertible into
37.995 paired shares of the Companies' common stock, subject to adjustment under
the same circumstances as SPG's 6.50% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
described above. On February 26, 1999, 150,000 of such shares were converted.

     To finance the cash portion of the CPI Merger, the SPG Operating
Partnership and SPG, as co-obligors, obtained a $1.4 billion unsecured bridge
loan (the "Merger Facility"). The Merger Facility bears interest at a base rate
of LIBOR plus 65 basis points and has stated maturities at the following
intervals (i) $450 million on June 24, 1999 (ii) $450 million on March 24, 2000
and (iii) $500 million on September 24, 2000. In February 1999 the initial $450
million maturity was retired with proceeds from an unsecured debt offering,
which is described below. The Merger Facility is subject to covenants and
conditions substantially identical to those of the Credit Facility. Simon Group
drew the entire $1.4 billion available on the Merger Facility, along with $237
million on the Credit Facility, to pay for the cash portion of the dividend
declared in conjunction with the CPI Merger, as well as closing costs associated
with the CPI Merger. Financing costs of $9.5 million, which were incurred to
obtain the Merger Facility, are being amortized over 18 months.

     Also in conjunction with the CPI Merger, the SPG Operating Partnership
transferred substantially all of the CPI assets and $825 million of unsecured
notes (the "CPI Notes") to Retail Property Trust ("RPT"), a 99.999% owned REIT
subsidiary of the SPG Operating Partnership. As a result, the CPI Notes are
structurally senior in right of payment to holders of other Simon Group
unsecured notes to the extent of the assets of RPT only, with over 99.999% of
the excess cash flow plus any capital event transactions available for the other
Simon Group unsecured notes. The CPI Notes pay interest semiannually, and bear
interest ranging from 7.05% to 9.00% (weighted average of 8.03%), and have
various due dates through 2016 (average maturity of 9.1 years). The CPI Notes
contain leverage ratios, annual real property appraisal requirements, debt
service

                                       42
<PAGE>
 
coverage ratios and minimum net worth ratios. Additionally, consolidated
mortgages totaling $2.1 million, and a pro-rata share of $143.5 million of
nonconsolidated joint venture indebtedness was assumed in the CPI Merger, and as
a result of acquiring the remaining interest in Palm Beach Mall, Simon Group
began accounting for that Property using the consolidated method of accounting,
adding $50.7 million to consolidated indebtedness. A net premium of $19.2
million was recorded in accordance with the purchase method of accounting to
adjust the CPI Notes and mortgage indebtedness assumed in the CPI Merger to fair
value, which is being amortized over the remaining lives of the related
indebtedness.

     Secured Indebtedness. During 1998, Simon Group refinanced approximately
$545 million of mortgage indebtedness on 19 of its Properties into four separate
cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted pools. These refinancings included
additional borrowings of approximately $270 million, which Simon Group used
primarily to paydown the Credit Facility and for general working capital needs.
The weighted average maturity of the indebtedness increased from approximately
5.6 years to 7.1 years, while the weighted average interest rates decreased from
approximately 7.6% to 7.3%.

     Credit Facility. The maximum and average amounts outstanding during 1998
under the Credit Facility were $992 million and $584 million, respectively.

     Equity Financings. During 1998, SPG issued 2,957,335 shares of its common
stock in offerings generating aggregate net proceeds of approximately $91.4
million. The net proceeds were contributed to the SPG Operating Partnership in
exchange for a like number of Units. The SPG Operating Partnership used the net
proceeds for general working capital purposes. In addition, SPG issued 519,889
shares of common stock valued at $17.2 million to acquire the remaining 50.1%
interest in Rolling Oaks Mall.

     Unsecured Notes. On June 22, 1998, Simon Group completed the sale of $1.075
billion of senior unsecured debt securities. The issuance included three
tranches of notes as follows (1) $375 million bearing interest at 6.625% and
maturing on June 15, 2003 (2) $300 million bearing interest at 6.75% and
maturing on June 15, 2005 and (3) $200 million bearing interest at 7.375% and
maturing on June 15, 2018. This offering also included a fourth tranche of $200
million of 7.00% Mandatory Par Put Remarketed Securities due June 15, 2028,
which are subject to redemption on June 16, 2008. The net proceeds of
approximately $1.062 billion were combined with $40 million of working capital
and used to retire and terminate a $300 million unsecured revolving credit
facility and to reduce the outstanding balance of the Credit Facility.

     Additionally, on February 4, 1999, the SPG Operating Partnership completed
the sale of $600 million of senior unsecured notes. The notes include two $300
million tranches. The first tranche bears interest at 6.75% and matures on
February 4, 2004 and the second tranche bears interest at 7.125% and matures on
February 4, 2009. The SPG Operating Partnership used the net proceeds of
approximately $594 million to retire the $450 million initial tranche of the
Merger Facility and to pay $142 million on the outstanding balance of the Credit
Facility. Following this offering, the SPG Operating Partnership had remaining
$250 million on its debt shelf registration, under which debt securities may be
issued.

  The CPI Merger

     For financial reporting purposes, as of the close of business on September
24, 1998, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 18, 1998,
among Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc., Corporate Property Investors, Inc., and
Corporate Realty Consultants, Inc., the CPI Merger was consummated. As a result,
the consolidated results of operations include an additional 17 regional malls,
two office buildings and one community center, with an additional six regional
malls being accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

     The total purchase price associated with the CPI Merger is approximately
$5.9 billion including transaction costs and liabilities assumed. This includes
a per share dividend paid immediately prior to the CPI Merger to the holders of
CPI common stock of (i) $90 in cash, (ii) 1.0818 additional shares of common
stock and (iii) 0.19 shares of 6.50% Series B convertible preferred stock. The
dividend was paid on a total of 25,496,476 shares of CPI common stock.

     See Note 3 to the financial statements for additional information about the
CPI Merger.

     Acquisitions and Disposals

     During 1998, in addition to the CPI Merger, Simon Group acquired 100% of
one Property and additional interests in a total of 21 Properties for
approximately $657 million, including the assumption of $271 million of
indebtedness and 2,864,088 Units valued at approximately $93 million, with the
remainder in cash financed primarily through the Credit

                                       43
<PAGE>
 
Facility and working capital. These transactions resulted in the addition of
approximately 11.8 million square feet of GLA to the portfolio.

     Simon Group and several joint venture partners have collectively acquired a
44 percent ownership position in Groupe BEG, S.A. ("BEG"). BEG is a fully
integrated European retail real estate developer, lessor and manager. Simon
Group and its affiliated Management Company, have contributed $27.5 million of
equity capital for a 22% ownership interest and are committed to an additional
investment of $28.7 million over the next 12 months, subject to certain
financial and other conditions, including Simon Group's approval of development
projects. The agreement with BEG is structured to allow Simon Group and its
partners to collectively acquire a controlling interest in BEG over time.

     Effective June 1, 1998, Simon Group sold The Promenade for $33.5 million.
No gain or loss was recognized on this transaction. Effective June 30, 1998,
Simon Group sold Southtown Mall for $3.3 million and recorded a $7.2 million
loss on the transaction.

     See Note 4 to the financial statements for 1997 and 1996 acquisition
activity.

     On February 25, 1999 Simon Group entered into a definitive agreement with
New England Development Company ("NED") to acquire and assume management
responsibilities for NED's portfolio of up to 14 regional malls aggregating
approximately 10.6 million square feet of GLA. The purchase price for the
portfolio is approximately $1.725 billion. Simon Group expects to form a joint
venture to acquire the portfolio, with Simon Group's ultimate ownership to be
between 30% to 50%.

     Management continues to actively review and evaluate a number of individual
property and portfolio acquisition opportunities. Management believes that funds
on hand and amounts available under the Credit Facility, together with the
ability to issue shares of common stock and/or Units, provide the means to
finance certain acquisitions. No assurance can be given that Simon Group will
not be required to, or will not elect to, even if not required to, obtain funds
from outside sources, including through the sale of debt or equity securities,
to finance significant acquisitions, if any.

     Portfolio Restructuring. As a continuing part of Simon Group's long-term
strategic plan, management is evaluating the potential sale of non-retail
holdings, along with a number of retail assets that are no longer aligned with
Simon Group's strategic criteria. If these assets are sold, management expects
the sale prices will not differ materially from the carrying value of the
related assets.

  Development Activity

     Development activities are an ongoing part of Simon Group's business.
During 1998, Simon Group opened two new community shopping centers at a combined
cost of approximately $47.3 million, adding 465,500 square-feet of GLA to the
portfolio. Each of these new community centers is adjacent to an existing
regional mall in Simon Group's portfolio. In addition, The Shops at Sunset
Place, a destination-oriented retail and entertainment project containing
approximately 510,000 square feet of GLA, opened in January of 1999 in South
Miami, Florida. Simon Group owns a noncontrolling 37.5% of this specialty retail
center.


     Construction also continues on the following projects, which have an
aggregate construction cost of approximately $620 million, Simon Group's share
of which is approximately $347 million:

     .  Concord Mills, a 37.5%-owned value-oriented super regional mall project,
        containing approximately 1.4 million square feet of GLA, is scheduled to
        open in September of 1999 in Concord (Charlotte), North Carolina.

     .  The Mall of Georgia, an approximately 1.5 million square foot regional
        mall project, is scheduled to open in August of 1999. Adjacent to the
        regional mall, The Mall of Georgia Crossing is an approximately 444,000
        square-foot community shopping center project, which is scheduled to
        open in October of 1999. Simon Group is funding 85% of the capital
        requirements of the project. Simon Group has a noncontrolling 50%
        ownership interest in each of these development projects after the
        return of its equity and a 9% return thereon.

     .  In addition to Mall of Georgia Crossing, two other new community center
        projects are under construction: The Shops at North East Plaza and
        Waterford Lakes at a combined 1,243,000 square feet of GLA.

                                       44

     Strategic Expansions and Renovations

     A key objective of Simon Group is to increase the profitability and market
share of the Properties through the completion of strategic renovations and
expansions. In 1998, Simon Group completed construction and opened nine new
expansion and/or renovation projects: Aventura Mall in Miami, Florida; Castleton
Square in Indianapolis, Indiana; Independence Center in Independence, Missouri;
Irving Mall in Irving, Texas; Prien Lake Mall in Lake Charles, Louisiana;
Richardson Square in Dallas, Texas; Tyrone Square in St. Petersburg, Florida;
Walt Whitman Mall in Huntington, New York; and West Town Mall in Knoxville,
Tennessee.

     Simon Group currently has five major expansion projects under construction
at an aggregate cost of approximately $465 million, Simon Group's share of which
is approximately $422 million:

     .  A $146 million renovation and expansion of The Shops at Mission Viejo in
        Mission Viejo, California, including the additions of Nordstrom and Saks
        Fifth Avenue with expansions of Macy's and Robinsons-May is scheduled
        for completion in the winter of 1999. In addition, a new food court is
        scheduled to open late in 2000. Simon Group owns 100% of this mall.

     .  North East Mall will have an additional 308,000 square feet of GLA
        including a 73,000 square foot small shop expansion, a new Nordstrom and
        Saks Fifth Avenue when its $103 million renovation and expansion
        project, which is scheduled to open in the fall of 2000, is complete.
        Simon Group owns 100% of this regional mall.

     .  An approximately 200,000 square-foot small shop expansion of The Florida
        Mall in Orlando, Florida, as well as the addition of Burdines, is
        scheduled for completion in November of 1999. Expansions of Dillard's,
        Parisian and JCPenney are also included in this $86 million project.
        Simon Group has a noncontrolling 50% ownership interest in this project.

     .  The $65 million expansion and renovation of Town Center at Boca Raton in
        Boca Raton, Florida includes the addition of Nordstrom, a relocation of
        Saks Fifth Avenue, a mall renovation and the expansions of Lord & Taylor
        and Bloomingdale's, with more than 100,000 additional square feet of
        small shops. This wholly-owned development project is scheduled for
        completion in the summer of 2000.

     .  Richmond Town Square is in the middle of a $57 million renovation and
        expansion project which includes a new Kaufmann's and a JCPenney
        renovation that opened in November 1998, a Sears remodel and a new food
        court scheduled to open in May of 1999 and a new Sony Cinema scheduled
        to open early in 2000.

     Simon Group has a number of smaller renovation and/or expansion projects
currently under construction aggregating approximately $200 million, nearly all
of which relates to wholly-owned Properties. In addition, preconstruction
development continues on a number of project expansions, renovations and anchor
additions at additional properties. Simon Group expects to commence construction
on many of these projects in the next 12 to 24 months.

     It is anticipated that these projects will be financed principally with
access to debt and equity markets, existing corporate credit facilities and cash
flow from operations.

     Capital Expenditures

     Consolidated capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, were $349
million, $332 million and $211 million for the periods ended December 31, 1998,
1997 and 1996, respectively.

       Distributions

       SPG declared distributions on its common stock in 1998 aggregating $2.02
per share. On January 20, 1999, SPG declared a distribution of $0.5050 per share
of common stock payable on February 19, 1999, to shareholders of record on
February 5, 1999. The current combined annual distribution rate is $2.02 per
share of common stock. For federal income tax purposes, 1% of the 1998 common
stock distributions represented a capital gain and 48% represented a return of
capital. None of the 1997 distributions represented a capital gain and 35%
represented a return of capital. Future distributions will be determined based
on actual results of operations and cash available for distribution. For
purposes of the former CPI shareholders, 9.7% of the distributions declared by
CPI during 1998, prior to the CPI Merger, represented a capital gain.

       Investing and Financing Activities

       In March 1998, Simon Group transferred its 50% ownership interest in The
Source, an approximately 730,000 square-foot regional mall, to a newly formed
limited partnership in which it has a 50% ownership interest, with the result
that Simon Group now owns an indirect noncontrolling 25% ownership interest in
The Source. In connection with this transaction, Simon Group's partner in the
newly formed limited partnership is entitled to a preferred return of 8% on its
initial capital contribution, a portion of which was distributed to Simon Group.
Simon Group applied the distribution against its investment in The Source.

       In August 1998, Simon Group admitted an additional partner into the
partnership which owns The Shops at Sunset Place for $35 million, which was
distributed to Simon Group. Simon Group now holds a 37.5% noncontrolling
interest in this Property, which opened in January 1999. Simon Group applied the
distribution against its investment in the Property.

       Cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 1998 of
$2,102 million is primarily the result of the CPI Merger and other acquisitions
of $1,943 million, $350 million of capital expenditures and $22 million of
investments in and advances to the Management Company, partially offset by net
distributions from unconsolidated entities of $140 million, cash received from
acquired Properties of $18 million, net proceeds of $46 million from the sales
of Sherwood Gardens, The Promenade and Southtown Mall and an $8 million decrease
in restricted cash. In addition to the $1,659 million paid in connection with
the CPI Merger, acquisitions includes $240 million for the acquisition of the
IBM Properties, $41 million for the acquisition of Arboretum and $3 million for
the acquisition of Cordova Mall. Capital expenditures includes development costs
of $58 million, renovation and expansion costs of approximately $222 million and
tenant costs and other operational capital expenditures of approximately $66
million. Development costs include $39 million for the Shops at Sunset Place and
$14 million at Waterford Lakes. Net distributions from unconsolidated entities
primarily consists of $55 million from Florida Mall, $33 million from The Source
transactions described above, $30 million associated with The Shops at Sunset
Place transaction described above and $12 million from the IBM Properties.

       Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31,
1998 was $1,592 million and includes net borrowings of $1,914 million primarily
used to fund the CPI Merger and other acquisition and development activity and
net proceeds from sales of common stock of $115 million, partially offset by
total distributions to minority interest partners of consolidated Properties,
shareholders of the Companies, SPG Properties, Inc. and limited partners in the
Operating Partnerships of $437 million.

       Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA")

       Management believes that there are several important factors that
contribute to the ability of Simon Group to increase rent and improve
profitability of its shopping centers, including aggregate tenant sales volume,
sales per square foot, occupancy levels and tenant costs. Each of these factors
has a significant effect on EBITDA. Management believes that EBITDA is an
effective measure of shopping center operating performance because: (i) it is
industry practice to evaluate real estate properties based on operating income
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which is generally
equivalent to EBITDA; and (ii) EBITDA is unaffected by the debt and equity
structure of the property owner. EBITDA: (i) does not represent cash flow from
operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles; (ii) should
not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating
performance; (iii) is not indicative of cash flows from operating, investing and
financing activities; and (iv) is not an alternative to cash flows as a measure
of liquidity.

       Total EBITDA for the Properties increased from $387 million in 1994 to
$1,362 million in 1998, representing a compound annual growth rate of 37.0%.
This growth is primarily the result of the CPI Merger ($113 million), the DRC
Merger ($418 million), the SCA Acquisition ($123 million), the IBM acquisition
($73 million), and other Properties developed or acquired during the comparative
periods ($214 million). The remaining growth in total EBITDA ($33 million)
reflects the

                                       46
<PAGE>
 
addition of GLA to the Portfolio Properties through expansions, increased rental
rates, increased tenant sales, improved occupancy levels and effective control
of operating costs. During this period, the operating profit margin increased
from 61.9% to 64.8%. This improvement is also primarily attributable to
aggressive leasing of new and existing space and effective control of operating
costs.

       The following summarizes total EBITDA for the Portfolio Properties and
the operating profit margin of such properties, which is equal to total EBITDA
expressed as a percentage of total revenue:

       Funds from Operations ("FFO")

       FFO, as defined by NAREIT, means the consolidated net income of Simon
Group and its subsidiaries without giving effect to real estate related
depreciation and amortization, gains or losses from extraordinary items, gains
or losses on sales of real estate, gains or losses on investments in marketable
securities and any provision/benefit for income taxes for such period, plus the
allocable portion, based on Simon Group's economic ownership interest, of funds
from operations of unconsolidated joint ventures, all determined on a consistent
basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management
believes that FFO is an important and widely used measure of the operating
performance of REITs which provides a relevant basis for comparison among REITs.
FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of Simon
Group. Simon Group's method of calculating FFO may be different from the methods
used by other REITs. FFO: (i) does not represent cash flow from operations as
defined by generally accepted accounting principles; (ii) should not be
considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance
or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii)
is not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

       Portfolio Data


       Operating statistics give effect to the CPI Merger for 1998 only and the
DRC Merger for all periods presented. Statistics include all Properties except
for the redevelopment area at Irving Mall, Charles Towne Square, Richmond Town
Square and The Shops at Mission Viejo, which are all undergoing extensive
redevelopment. The value-oriented super-regional mall category consists of
Arizona Mills, Grapevine Mills and Ontario Mills.

       Aggregate Tenant Sales Volume and Sales per Square Foot. From 1995 to
1998, total reported retail sales at mall and freestanding GLA owned by the
Operating Partnerships ("Owned GLA") in the regional malls and all reporting
tenants at community shopping centers increased from $7,649 million to $14,587
million. Sales for 1998 includes $3,180 million, $1,060 million, and $1,041
million from the CPI Properties, the SCA Acquisition, and the IBM Properties,
respectively. Excluding these Properties, 1998 sales were $9,305 million, which
is a compound annual growth rate of 6.8%. Retail sales at Owned GLA affect
revenue and profitability levels because they determine the amount of minimum
rent that can be charged, the percentage rent realized, and the recoverable
expenses (common area maintenance, real estate taxes, etc.) the tenants can
afford to pay.

       The following illustrates the total reported sales of tenants at Owned
GLA:

</TABLE>

          Regional mall sales per square foot increased 9.0% in 1998 to $343 as
compared to $315 in 1997. In addition, sales per square foot of reporting
tenants operating for at least two consecutive years ("Comparable Sales")
increased from $318 to $346, or 8.8%, from 1997 to 1998. Simon Group believes
its strong sales growth in 1998 is the result of its aggressive retenanting
efforts and the redevelopment of many of the Properties. Sales per square foot
at the community shopping centers

                                       48

decreased in 1998 to $176 as compared to $179 in 1997. Sales statistics for
value-oriented super-regional malls are not provided as this category is
comprised of newly constructed malls with insufficient history to provide
meaningful comparisons.


          Occupancy Levels. Occupancy levels for mall and freestanding Owned GLA
at the regional malls increased from 87.3% at December 31, 1997, to 90.0% at
December 31, 1998. Occupancy levels for all tenants at the value-oriented super-
regional malls increased from 93.8% at December 31, 1997, to 98.2% at December
31, 1998. Occupancy levels for all tenants at the community shopping centers
increased slightly, from 91.3% at December 31, 1997, to 91.4% at December 31,
1998. Owned GLA has increased 20.2 million square feet from December 31, 1997,
to December 31, 1998, primarily as a result of the IBM acquisition, the CPI
Merger, the acquisition of the Arboretum, and the 1998 Property openings.

          Tenant Occupancy Costs. Tenant occupancy costs as a percentage of
sales increased from 11.5% in 1997 to 12.3% in 1998 in the regional mall
portfolio. A tenant's ability to pay rent is affected by the percentage of its
sales represented by occupancy costs, which consist of rent and expense
recoveries. As sales levels increase, if expenses subject to recovery are
controlled, the tenant can pay higher rent. Management believes Simon Group is
one of the lowest-cost providers of retail space, which has permitted the rents
in both regional malls and community shopping centers to increase without
raising a tenant's total occupancy cost beyond its ability to pay. Management
believes continuing efforts to increase sales while controlling property
operating expenses will continue the trend of increasing rents at the
Properties.


          Average Base Rents. Average base rents per square foot of mall and
freestanding Owned GLA at regional malls increased 34.0%, from $19.18 in 1995 to
$25.70 in 1998. For all tenants at the community shopping centers, average base
rents of Owned GLA increased 5.3%, from $7.29 in 1995 to $7.68 in 1998.

          The following highlights this trend:

          Inflation


          Inflation has remained relatively low during the past four years and
has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of the Properties.
Nonetheless, substantially all of the tenants' leases contain provisions
designed to lessen the impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses
enabling Simon Group to receive percentage rentals based on tenants' gross
sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which
generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. In addition,
many of the leases are for terms of less than ten years, which may enable Simon
Group to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base and/or
percentage rentals if rents of the existing leases are below the then-existing
market rate. Substantially all of the leases, other than those for anchors,
require the tenants to pay a proportionate

                                       49
<PAGE>
 
share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate
taxes and insurance, thereby reducing Simon Group's exposure to increases in
costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

          However, inflation may have a negative impact on some of Simon Group's
other operating items. Interest and general and administrative expenses may be
adversely affected by inflation as these specified costs could increase at a
rate higher than rents. Also, for tenant leases with stated rent increases,
inflation may have a negative effect as the stated rent increases in these
leases could be lower than the increase in inflation at any given time.


          Year 2000 Costs

          Simon Group has undertaken a project to identify and correct problems
arising from the inability of information technology hardware and software
systems to process dates after December 31, 1999. This Year 2000 project
consists of two primary components. The first component focuses on Simon Group's
key information technology systems (the "IT Component") and the second component
focuses on the information systems of key tenants and key third party service
providers as well as imbedded systems within common areas of substantially all
of the Properties (the "Non-IT Component"). Key tenants include the 20 largest
base rent contributors and anchor tenants with over 25,000 square feet of GLA.
Key third party service providers are those providers whose Year 2000 problems,
if not addressed, would be likely to have a material adverse effect on Simon
Group's operations.

          The IT Component of the Year 2000 project is being managed by the
information services department of Simon Group who have actively involved other
disciplines within Simon Group who are directly impacted by an IT Component of
the project. The Non-IT Component is being managed by a steering committee of 25
employees, including senior executives of a number of Simon Group's departments.
In addition, outside consultants have been engaged to assist in the Non-IT
Component.

          Status of Project

               IT Component. Simon Group's primary operating, financial
          accounting and billing systems and Simon Group's standard primary
          desktop software have been determined to be Year 2000 ready. Simon
          Group's information services department has also completed its
          assessment of other "mission critical" applications within Simon Group
          and is currently implementing solutions to those applications in order
          for them to be Year 2000 ready. It is expected that the implementation
          of these mission critical solutions will be complete by September 30,
          1999.

               Non-IT Component. The Non-IT Component includes the following
          phases: (1) an inventory of Year 2000 items which are determined to be
          material to Simon Group's operations; (2) assigning priority to
          identified items; (3) assessing Year 2000 compliance status as to all
          critical items; (4) developing replacement or contingency plans based
          on the information collected in the preceding phases; (5) implementing
          replacement and contingency plans; and (6) testing and monitoring of
          plans, as applicable.

               Phase (1) and Phase (2) are complete and Phase (3) is in process.
          The assessment of compliance status of key tenants is approximately
          82% complete, the assessment of compliance status of key third party
          service providers is approximately 80% complete, the assessment of
          compliance status of critical inventoried components at the Properties
          is approximately 79% complete and the assessment of compliance status
          of non-critical inventoried components at the Properties is
          approximately 75% complete. Simon Group expects to complete Phase (3)
          by April 30, 1999. The development of contingency or replacement plans
          (Phase (4)) is scheduled to be completed by September 30, 1999.
          Development of such plans is ongoing. Implementation of contingency
          and replacement plans (Phase (5)) has commenced and will continue
          through 1999 to the extent Year 2000 issues are identified. Any
          required testing (Phase (6)) is to be completed throughout the
          remainder of 1999.

          Costs. Simon Group estimates that it will spend approximately $1.5
million in incremental costs for its Year 2000 project. This amount will be
incurred over a period that commenced in January 1997 and is expected to end in
September 1999. Costs incurred through December 31, 1998 are estimated at
approximately $500 thousand. Such amounts are expensed as incurred. These
estimates do not include the costs expended by Simon Group following its 1996
merger with DeBartolo Realty Corporation for software, hardware and related
costs necessary to upgrade its primary operating, financial accounting and
billing systems, which allowed those systems to, among other things, become Year
2000 compliant.

                                       50
<PAGE>
 
          Risks. The most reasonably likely worst case scenario for Simon Group
with respect to the Year 2000 problems would be disruptions in operations at the
Properties. This could lead to reduced sales at the Properties and claims by
tenants which would in turn adversely affect Simon Group's results of
operations.

          Simon Group has not yet completed all phases of its Year 2000 project
and Simon Group is dependent upon key tenants and key third party suppliers to
make their information systems Year 2000 compliant. In addition, disruptions in
the economy generally resulting from Year 2000 problems could have an adverse
effect on Simon Group's operations.

          Seasonality

          The shopping center industry is seasonal in nature, particularly in
the fourth quarter during the holiday season, when tenant occupancy and retail
sales are typically at their highest levels. In addition, shopping malls achieve
most of their temporary tenant rents during the holiday season. As a result of
the above, earnings are generally highest in the fourth quarter of each year.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors of
Simon Property Group, Inc. and SPG Realty Consultants, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Simon Property
Group, Inc. and subsidiaries and its paired share affiliate, SPG Realty
Consultants, Inc. and subsidiaries (see Note 2), as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, and the related combined statements of operations, shareholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1998. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Simon
Property Group, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of operations, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1998. We have also audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
SPG Realty Consultants, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1998, and the related statements of operations, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1998. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Companies' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Directors of SPG Realty Consultants, Inc.
(formerly known as Corporate Realty Consultants, Inc.),

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of SPG Realty Consultants, Inc.
(formerly known as Corporate Realty Consultants, Inc.) as of December 31, 1997,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1997.
These financial statements are the responsibility of SPG Realty Consultants,
Inc.'s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of SPG
Realty Consultants, Inc. (formerly known as Corporate Realty Consultants, Inc.)
at December 31, 1997, and the consolidated results of its operations and its

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts and where indicated as in
                                   billions)
                                        

1. Organization

     Simon Property Group, Inc. ("SPG"), a Delaware corporation, is a self-
administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Each share of common
stock of SPG is paired with a beneficial interest in 1/100th of a share of
common stock of SPG Realty Consultants, Inc., also a Delaware corporation ("SRC"
and together with SPG, the "Companies").

     Simon Property Group, L.P. (the "SPG Operating Partnership"), formerly
known as Simon DeBartolo Group, L.P. ("SDG, LP"), is the primary subsidiary of
SPG. Units of ownership interest ("Units") in the SPG Operating Partnership are
paired with a beneficial interest in 1/100th of a Unit in SPG Realty
Consultants, L.P. (the "SRC Operating Partnership" and together with the SPG
Operating Partnership, the "Operating Partnerships"). The SRC Operating
Partnership is the primary subsidiary of SRC. The Companies together with the
Operating Partnerships are hereafter referred to as "Simon Group".

     The Companies, primarily through the Operating Partnerships, are engaged
primarily in the ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition,
expansion and development of real estate properties, primarily regional malls
and community shopping centers. As of December 31, 1998, Simon Group owned or
held an interest in 242 income-producing properties, which consist of 153
regional malls, 77 community shopping centers, three specialty retail centers,
six office and mixed-use properties and three value-oriented super-regional
malls in 35 states (the "Properties"). Simon Group also owned interests in one
regional mall, one value-oriented super-regional mall, one specialty center and
three community centers currently under construction and twelve parcels of land
held for future development (collectively, the "Development Properties", and
together with the Properties, the "Portfolio Properties"). At December 31, 1998
and 1997, the Companies' direct and indirect ownership interests in the
Operating Partnerships were 71.6% and 63.9%, respectively. The SPG Operating
Partnership also holds substantially all of the economic interest in M.S.
Management Associates, Inc. (the "Management Company"). See Note 8 for a
description of the activities of the Management Company.

     SRC engages primarily in the ownership, operation, acquisition and
development of real estate properties either directly or through interests in
joint ventures. SPG and SRC are parties to an agreement pursuant to which SRC
may not engage in any activity that could be engaged in by SPG without
jeopardizing its status as a REIT unless SPG shall have been given a right of
first refusal to engage in such activity, and SPG may not refer to any person
other than SRC any business opportunity that could not be engaged in by SPG
without jeopardizing its status as a REIT unless SRC shall have been given the
right of first refusal to take advantage of such opportunity.

     Simon Group is subject to risks incidental to the ownership and operation
of commercial real estate. These include, among others, the risks normally
associated with changes in the general economic climate, trends in the retail
industry, creditworthiness of tenants, competition for tenants, changes in tax
laws, interest rate levels, the availability of financing, and potential
liability under environmental and other laws. Like most retail properties, Simon
Group's regional malls and community shopping centers rely heavily upon anchor
tenants. As of December 31, 1998, 314 of the approximately 875 anchor stores in
the Properties were occupied by three retailers. An affiliate of one of these
retailers is a limited partner in the Operating Partnerships.

2. Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying combined financial statements include SPG, SRC and their
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated. The
combined financial statements reflect the CPI Merger (see Note 3) as of the
close of business on September 24, 1998. Operating results prior to the
completion of the CPI Merger represent the operating results of Simon DeBartolo
Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("SDG"), the predecessor to SPG for financial
reporting purposes. Accordingly, the term Simon Group, prior to the CPI Merger,
refers to SDG and the SPG Operating Partnership.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements for SPG include the
accounts of SPG and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany amounts have
been eliminated. The financial statements reflect the CPI Merger as of the close
of business on September 24, 1998. Operating results prior to the CPI Merger
represent the operating results of SDG.

                                      69
<PAGE>
 
     The accompanying consolidated financial statements of SRC include the
accounts of its newly formed subsidiary, the SRC Operating Partnership. Because
the cash contributed to SRC and the SRC Operating Partnership in exchange for
shares of common stock and Units, in connection with the CPI Merger, represented
equity transactions, SRC, unlike CPI (see Note 3), is not subject to purchase
accounting treatment. The separate statements of SRC include the historical
results of Corporate Realty Consultants, Inc. ("CRC"), the predecessor to SRC,
for all periods presented.

     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, which requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.

     Properties which are wholly-owned ("Wholly-Owned Properties") or owned less
than 100% and are controlled by Simon Group ("Minority Interest Properties") are
accounted for using the consolidated method of accounting. Control is
demonstrated by the ability of the general partner to manage day-to-day
operations, refinance debt and sell the assets of the partnership without the
consent of the limited partner and the inability of the limited partner to
replace the general partner. The deficit minority interest balance in the
accompanying balance sheets represents outside partners' interests in the net
equity of certain Properties. Deficit minority interests were recorded when a
partnership agreement provided for the settlement of deficit capital accounts
before distributing the proceeds from the sale of partnership assets and/or from
the intent (legal or otherwise) and ability of the partner to fund additional
capital contributions. Investments in partnerships and joint ventures which
represent noncontrolling 14.7% to 85.0% direct and indirect ownership interests
("Joint Venture Properties") and the investment in the Management Company (see
Note 8) are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. These
investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for net
equity in income (loss) and cash contributions and distributions.

     Net operating results of the Operating Partnerships are allocated after
preferred distributions (see Note 11), based on their respective partners'
ownership interests. The Companies' weighted average direct and indirect
ownership interest in the Operating Partnerships during 1998, 1997 and 1996 were
66.2%, 62.1% and 61.2%, respectively. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the
Companies' direct and indirect ownership interest was 71.6% and 63.9%,
respectively.

3. CPI Merger

     For financial reporting purposes, as of the close of business on September
24, 1998, the CPI Merger was consummated pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated February 18, 1998, among Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc., Corporate
Property Investors, Inc. ("CPI"), and Corporate Realty Consultants, Inc.

     Pursuant to the terms of the CPI Merger, SPG Merger Sub, Inc., a
substantially wholly-owned subsidiary of CPI, merged with and into SDG with SDG
continuing as the surviving company. SDG became a majority-owned subsidiary of
CPI. The outstanding shares of common stock of SDG were exchanged for a like
number of shares of CPI. Beneficial interests in CRC were acquired for $14,000
in order to pair the common stock of CPI with 1/100th of a share of common stock
of CRC, the paired share affiliate.

     Immediately prior to the consummation of the CPI Merger, the holders of CPI
common stock were paid a merger dividend consisting of (i) $90 in cash, (ii)
1.0818 additional shares of CPI common stock and (iii) 0.19 shares of 6.50%
Series B convertible preferred stock of CPI per share of CPI common stock.
Immediately prior to the CPI Merger, there were 25,496,476 shares of CPI common
stock outstanding. The aggregate value associated with the completion of the CPI
Merger was approximately $5.9 billion including transaction costs and
liabilities assumed.

     To finance the cash portion of the CPI Merger consideration, $1.4 billion
was borrowed under a new senior unsecured medium term bridge loan, which bears
interest at a base rate of LIBOR plus 65 basis points and matures in three
mandatory amortization payments (on June 22, 1999, March 24, 2000 and September
24, 2000). An additional $237,000 was also borrowed under the SPG Operating
Partnership's existing $1.25 billion credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). In
connection with the CPI Merger, CPI was renamed "Simon Property Group, Inc."
CPI's paired share affiliate, Corporate Realty Consultants, Inc., was renamed
"SPG Realty Consultants, Inc." In addition SDG and SDG, LP were renamed "SPG
Properties, Inc.", and "Simon Property Group, L.P.", respectively.

     Upon completion of the CPI Merger, SPG transferred substantially all of the
CPI assets acquired, which consisted primarily of 23 regional malls, one
community center, two office buildings and one regional mall under construction
(other than one regional mall, Ocean County Mall, and certain net leased
properties valued at approximately $153,100) and liabilities assumed (except
that SPG remains a co-obligor with respect to the Merger Facility (see Note 9))
of approximately $2.3 billion

                                       70
<PAGE>
 
to SPG Operating Partnership or one or more subsidiaries of the SPG Operating
Partnership in exchange for 47,790,550 limited partnership interests and
5,053,580 preferred partnership interests in SPG Operating Partnership. The
preferred partnership interests carry the same rights and equal the number of
preferred shares issued and outstanding as a direct result of the CPI Merger.
Likewise, the net assets of SRC, with a carrying value of approximately $14,755,
were transferred to the SRC Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership
interests.

     The Companies accounted for the merger between SDG and the CPI merger
subsidiary as a reverse purchase in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 16. Although paired shares of the former CPI and CRC were issued to
SDG common stock holders and SDG became a substantially wholly owned subsidiary
of CPI following the CPI Merger, CPI is considered the business acquired for
accounting purposes. SDG is considered the acquiring company because the SDG
common stockholders hold a majority of the common stock of SPG, post-merger. The
value of the consideration paid by SDG has been allocated to the estimated fair
value of the CPI assets acquired and liabilities assumed which resulted in
goodwill of $58,134, as adjusted. Goodwill is being amortized over the estimated
life of the properties of 35 years. Purchase accounting will be finalized when
SPG completes and implements its combined operating plan, which is expected to
occur by the third quarter of 1999.

     SDG, LP contributed $14,000 cash to CRC and $8,000 cash to the SRC
Operating Partnership on behalf of the SDG common stockholders and the limited
partners of SDG, LP to obtain the beneficial interests in common stock of CRC,
which were paired with the shares of common stock issued by SPG, and to obtain
Units in the SRC Operating Partnership so that the limited partners of the SDG
Operating Partnership would hold the same proportionate interest in the SRC
Operating Partnership that they hold in the SDG Operating Partnership. The cash
contributed to CRC and the SRC Operating Partnership in exchange for an
ownership interest therein have been appropriately accounted for as capital
infusion or equity transactions. The assets and liabilities of CRC have been
reflected at historical cost. Adjusting said assets and liabilities to fair
value would only have been appropriate if the SDG stockholders' beneficial
interests in CRC exceeded 80%.

4. The DRC Merger and Other Real Estate Acquisitions, Disposals and Developments

          The DRC Merger

     On August 9, 1996, SPG acquired the national shopping center business of
DeBartolo Realty Corporation and subsidiaries ("DRC") for an aggregate value of
$3.0 billion (the "DRC Merger"). The acquired portfolio consisted of 49 regional
malls, 11 community centers and 1 mixed-use Property. These Properties included
47,052,267 square feet of retail space gross leasable area ("GLA") and 558,636
of office GLA. Pursuant to the DRC Merger, SPG acquired all the outstanding
common stock of DRC (55,712,529 shares), at an exchange ratio of 0.68 shares of
SPG's common stock for each share of DRC common stock. A total of 37,873,965
shares of SPG's common stock was issued by SPG, to the DRC shareholders. DRC and
the acquisition subsidiary merged. DRC became a 99.9% subsidiary of SPG and
changed its name to SD Property Group, Inc. The purchase price was allocated to
the fair value of the assets and liabilities using the purchase method of
accounting.

          Acquisitions and Disposals

     On January 26, 1998, Simon Group acquired Cordova Mall in Pensacola,
Florida for approximately $87,300, including the assumption of a $28,935
mortgage, which was later retired, and the issuance of 1,713,016 Units, valued
at approximately $55,500. This 874,000 square-foot regional mall is wholly-owned
by Simon Group.

     Effective May 5, 1998, in a series of transactions, Simon Group acquired
the remaining 50.1% interest in Rolling Oaks Mall for 519,889 shares of SPG's
common stock, valued at approximately $17,176.

     Effective June 30, 1998, Simon Group sold Southtown Mall for $3,250 and
recorded a $7,219 loss on the transaction.

     On December 7, 1998, a joint venture partnership, in which Simon Group owns
a controlling 90% interest, purchased The Arboretum, a 209,000 square-foot
community center in Austin, Texas. Concurrent with the acquisition, the joint
venture obtained a $34,000 mortgage on the Property bearing interest at LIBOR
plus 1.5%. Simon Group's share of the $45,000 purchase price was $40,500, which
was funded primarily with the net proceeds of the mortgage, with the remainder
being funded from working capital.

     On September 29, 1997, Simon Group completed its cash tender offer for all
of the outstanding shares of beneficial interests of The Retail Property Trust
("RPT"), a private REIT. RPT owned 98.8% of Shopping Center Associates ("SCA"),
which owned or had interests in twelve regional malls and one community center,
comprising approximately twelve million square feet of GLA in eight states (the
"SCA Properties"). During 1997, Simon Group exchanged its 50% interests in two
SCA Properties to a third party for the remaining 50% interests in two other SCA
Properties, acquired the remaining 50% ownership

                                      71
<PAGE>
 
interest in another of the SCA Properties and acquired the remaining 1.2%
interest in SCA. During 1998, Simon Group sold the community center and a
regional mall for $9,550 and $33,500, respectively. These Property sales were
accounted for as an adjustment to the allocation of the purchase price. At the
completion of these transactions (the "SCA Acquisition"), Simon Group owns 100%
of eight of the nine SCA Properties, and a noncontrolling 50% ownership interest
in the remaining Property. The total cost for the acquisition of SCA and related
transactions of approximately $1,300,000 includes shares of common stock of SPG
valued at approximately $50,000, Units in the SPG Operating Partnership valued
at approximately $25,300, the assumption of $398,500 of consolidated
indebtedness and Simon Group's pro rata share of joint venture indebtedness of
$76,750, with the remainder comprising primarily of cash financed using Simon
Group's Credit Facility. On September 15, 1998, RPT transferred its ownership
interest in SCA to the SPG Operating Partnership in exchange for 27,195,109
Units in the SPG Operating Partnership.

     Also in 1997, Simon Group acquired a 100% ownership interest in the Fashion
Mall at Keystone at the Crossing, along with an adjacent community center; the
remaining 30% ownership interest in Virginia Center Commons; a noncontrolling
50% ownership of Dadeland Mall; and an additional noncontrolling 48% ownership
interest of West Town Mall, increasing its total ownership interest to 50%.
Simon Group paid an aggregate purchase price of approximately $322,000 for these
acquisitions, which included Units in the SPG Operating Partnership valued at
$1,100, common stock of SPG valued at approximately $20,000 and the assumption
of $64,772 of mortgage indebtedness, with the remainder paid in cash primarily
using proceeds from the Credit Facility, sales of equity securities and working
capital.

     In 1996, Simon Group acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest in two
regional malls for 472,410 Units in the SPG Operating Partnership, the
assumption of $57,000 of mortgage indebtedness and $56,100 in cash, primarily
using proceeds from the Credit Facility and working capital.

     See also Note 7 for Joint Venture Property acquisition and disposal
activity.

          Development Activity

     Development activities are an ongoing part of Simon Group's strategy to
gain a competitive advantage in the retail real estate business. During 1998,
1997 and 1996, Simon Group invested approximately $102,000, $230,000 and
$169,000, respectively on new consolidated and unconsolidated joint venture
development projects adding approximately 577,000; 3,600,000; and 3,160,000
square feet of GLA to its portfolio. In addition, The Shops at Sunset Place, a
destination-oriented retail and entertainment project containing approximately
510,000 square feet of GLA opened in January of 1999 in South Miami, Florida.
Construction also continues on several other projects at an aggregate
construction cost of approximately $620,000, of which approximately $347,000 is
Simon Group's share. These developments are funded primarily with borrowings
from the Credit Facility, construction loans and working capital.

     In addition, Simon Group strives to increase profitability and market share
of the existing Properties through the completion of strategic renovations and
expansions. During 1998, 1997 and 1996, Simon Group invested approximately
$337,000, $229,000 and $93,000, respectively on renovation and expansion of the
Properties. These projects were also funded primarily with borrowings from the
Credit Facility, construction loans and working capital.

          Pro Forma

     The following unaudited pro forma summary financial information excludes
any extraordinary items and combines the consolidated results of operations of
SPG and SRC as if the CPI Merger and the SCA Acquisition had occurred as of
January 1, 1997, and were carried forward through December 31, 1998. Preparation
of the pro forma summary information was based upon assumptions deemed
appropriate by management. The pro forma summary information is not necessarily
indicative of the results which actually would have occurred if the CPI Merger
and the SCA Acquisition had been consummated at January 1, 1997, nor does it
purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

5. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

          Investment Properties

     Investment Properties are recorded at cost (predecessor cost for Properties
acquired from Melvin Simon, Herbert Simon and certain of their affiliates (the
"Simons")). Investment Properties for financial reporting purposes are reviewed
for impairment on a Property-by-Property basis whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of investment Properties may not
be recoverable. Impairment of investment Properties is recognized when estimated
undiscounted operating income is less than the carrying value of the Property.
To the extent an impairment has occurred, the excess of carrying value of the
Property over its estimated fair value will be charged to income.

     Investment Properties include costs of acquisitions, development and
predevelopment, construction, tenant allowances and improvements, interest and
real estate taxes incurred during construction, certain capitalized improvements
and replacements, and certain allocated overhead. Depreciation on buildings and
improvements is provided utilizing the straight-line method over an estimated
original useful life, which is generally 35 years or the term of the applicable
tenant's lease in the case of tenant inducements. Depreciation on tenant
allowances and improvements is provided utilizing the straight-line method over
the term of the related lease.

     Certain improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the
useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. All
other repair and maintenance items are expensed as incurred.

          Capitalized Interest

     Interest is capitalized on projects during periods of construction.
Interest capitalized during 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $10,567, $11,589 and $5,831,
respectively.

          Segment Disclosure

     Simon Group is engaged in the business of owning, operating, managing,
leasing, expanding and developing retail real estate properties. Although Simon
Group's regional mall portfolio and office and mixed-use Properties are looked
at internally on a divisional basis, the chief executive officer makes resource
allocation and other operating decisions based on an evaluation of the entire
portfolio. Simon Group's interests in its community centers and other assets
have been aggregated with the regional malls as they have similar economic and
environmental conditions, business processes, types of customers (i.e. tenants)
and services provided. Further, the community centers, offices and other assets
each represent less than 10% and in total represent less than 15% of Simon
Group's total assets, revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization.

          Other Investment

     Investments in securities classified as available for sale are reflected at
market value with the changes in market value reflected in shareholders' equity.

          Deferred Costs

     Deferred costs consist primarily of financing fees incurred to obtain long-
term financing, costs of interest rate protection agreements, and internal and
external leasing commissions and related costs. Deferred financing costs,
including interest rate protection agreements, are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the terms of the respective loans or agreements. Deferred leasing
costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related
leases. Deferred costs consist of the following:

debt premiums and discounts of $1,465, $699 and $632 for 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

          Revenue Recognition

     Simon Group, as a lessor, has retained substantially all of the risks and
benefits of ownership of the investment Properties and accounts for its leases
as operating leases. Minimum rents are accrued on a straight-line basis over the
terms of their respective leases. Certain tenants are also required to pay
overage rents based on sales over a stated base amount during the lease year.
Overage rents are recognized as revenues based on reported and estimated sales
for each tenant through December 31, less the applicable base sales amount.
Differences between estimated and actual amounts are recognized in the
subsequent year.

     Reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes and other recoverable
operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the applicable
expenditures are incurred.

          Allowance for Credit Losses

     A provision for credit losses is recorded based on management's judgment of
tenant creditworthiness. The activity in the allowance for credit losses during
1998, 1997 and 1996 was as follows:

          Income Taxes

     SPG. SPG and certain of its subsidiaries are taxed as REITs under Sections
856 through 860 of the Code and applicable Treasury regulations relating to REIT
qualification. In order to maintain their qualification as REITs, these entities
are required to distribute at least 95% of their taxable income to shareholders
and meet certain other asset and income tests as well as other requirements. It
is the intention of management to continue to adhere to these requirements and
maintain the REIT status. As REITs, these entities will generally not be liable
for federal corporate income taxes. Thus, no provision for

                                       74
<PAGE>
 
federal income taxes for the REITs has been included in the accompanying
financial statements. If any of these entities fail to qualify as a REIT in any
taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes on its taxable income
at regular corporate tax rates. State income taxes were not significant in any
of the periods presented.

     SRC. SRC is subject to income taxes. The provision for income taxes
reflected in the separate financial statements of SRC was ($190), $670 and
($218) for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. During 1998, SRC generated
operating losses for which a valuation allowance was provided. The deferred tax
liability of $3,374 and $3,564 as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
consisted primarily of asset basis differences for book and tax purposes. The
deferred tax liability is accounted for using the liability method of accounting
and is included in other liabilities in the accompanying Balance Sheets.

          Per Share Data

     Effective January 1, 1998, Simon Group retroactively adopted SFAS No. 128
(Earnings Per Share). Accordingly, basic earnings per share is based on the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period
and diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding combined with the incremental weighted average
shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares
would have been converted into shares at the earliest date possible. The
weighted average number of shares used in the computation for 1998, 1997 and
1996 was 126,522,228; 99,920,280; and 73,585,602, respectively. The diluted
weighted average number of equivalent shares used in the computation for 1998,
1997 and 1996 was 126,879,377; 100,304,344 and 73,721,134, respectively.

     Combined basic and diluted earnings per share is presented in the financial
statements based upon the weighted average number of paired shares outstanding
of the Companies, giving effect to the CPI Merger as of the close of business on
September 24, 1998. Management believes this presentation provides the
shareholders with the most meaningful presentation of earnings for a single
interest in the combined entities.

     Both series of convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding during
the comparative periods did not have a dilutive effect on earnings per share.
Paired Units held by limited partners in the Operating Partnerships may be
exchanged for paired shares of common stock of the Companies, on a one-for-one
basis in certain circumstances. If exchanged, the paired Units would not have a
dilutive effect. The increase in weighted average shares outstanding under the
diluted method over the basic method in every period presented for the Companies
is due entirely to the effect of outstanding stock options, including 304,210
additional options issued in connection with the CPI Merger. Basic earnings and
diluted earnings were the same for all periods presented.

     It is the Companies' policy to accrue distributions when they are declared.
SPG declared distributions in 1998 and 1997 aggregating $2.02 and $2.01 per
share, respectively. The current combined annual distribution rate is $2.02 per
share. The following is a summary of distributions per paired share declared in
1998 and 1997, which represented a return of capital measured using generally
accepted accounting principles:

</TABLE>

     On a federal income tax basis, 1% of SPG's 1998 distribution represented a
capital gain and 48% represented a return of capital. In 1997, none of the
distributions represented a capital gain and 35% represented a return of
capital.

          Statements of Cash Flows

     For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investments
purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less are considered cash and
cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates
market value. Cash equivalents generally consist of commercial paper, bankers
acceptances, Eurodollars, repurchase agreements and Dutch auction securities.
Cash and cash equivalents do not include restricted cash of $867 and $8,553 as
of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, to fund certain future capital
expenditures.

     Cash paid for interest, net of any amounts capitalized, during 1998, 1997
and 1996 was $397,560; $270,912; and $191,965, respectively.

          Noncash Transactions

     Accrued and unpaid distributions were $3,428 at December 31, 1998 and
represented distributions payable on SPG's 6.5% Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock, which are paid semiannually on March 31 and September 30 of each year.
Please refer to Notes 3, 4, 7 and 11 for additional discussion of noncash
transactions.

7. Investment in Partnerships and Joint Ventures

          Joint Venture Property Acquisitions and Dispositions

     On February 27, 1998, Simon Group, in a joint venture partnership with The
Macerich Company ("Macerich"), acquired a portfolio of twelve regional malls and
two community centers (the "IBM Properties") comprising approximately 10.7
million square feet of GLA at a purchase price of $974,500, including the
assumption of $485,000 of indebtedness. Simon Group and Macerich, as
noncontrolling 50/50 partners in the joint venture, were each responsible for
one half of the purchase price, including indebtedness assumed and each assumed
leasing and management responsibilities for six of the regional malls and one
community center. Simon Group funded its share of the cash portion of the
purchase price using borrowings from an interim $300,000 unsecured revolving
credit facility, which was subsequently retired using borrowings from the Credit
Facility.

     In March 1998, Simon Group transferred its 50% ownership interest in The
Source, an approximately 730,000 square-foot regional mall, to a newly formed
limited partnership in which it has a 50% ownership interest, with the result
that Simon Group now owns an indirect noncontrolling 25% ownership interest in
The Source. In connection with this transaction, Simon Group's partner in the
newly formed limited partnership is entitled to a preferred return of 8% on its
initial capital contribution, a portion of which was distributed to Simon Group.
Simon Group applied the distribution against its investment in The Source.

     In August 1998, Simon Group admitted an additional partner into the
partnership which owns The Shops at Sunset Place for $35,200, which was
distributed to Simon Group. Simon Group now holds a 37.5% noncontrolling
interest in this Property, which opened in January 1999. Simon Group applied the
distribution against its investment in the Property.

     As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the unamortized excess of Simon Group's
investment over its share of the equity in the underlying net assets of the
partnerships and joint ventures ("Excess Investment") was $708,616 and $364,119,
respectively. This Excess Investment, which resulted primarily from the CPI
Merger and the DRC Merger, is being amortized generally over the life of the
related Properties. Amortization included in income from unconsolidated entities
for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $22,625, $13,878 and
$5,127, respectively.

     The net income or net loss for each Joint Venture Property is allocated in
accordance with the provisions of the applicable partnership or joint venture
agreement. The allocation provisions in these agreements are not always
consistent with the ownership interests held by each general or limited partner
or joint venturer, primarily due to partner preferences.

     At December 31, 1998, SRC's investment in unconsolidated joint ventures,
which is included in the summary financial information above, consists of (1) a
50% noncontrolling interest in Mill Creek Land, LLC ("Mill Creek"), with an
additional 15% preferential return, which was formed to purchase the land which
Mall of Georgia is being built upon and (2) a 25% limited partner interest in
Cambridge Hotel Associates, a partnership which provides management and advisory
services to the Cambridge Hotel in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Included in total
assets, total revenue and net income above is $5,367, $481 and $481,
respectively, related to these SRC joint ventures investments.

8. Investment in Management Company

     Simon Group holds 80% of the outstanding common stock, 5% of the
outstanding voting common stock, and all of the 8% cumulative preferred stock of
the Management Company. The remaining 20% of the outstanding common stock of the
Management Company (representing 95% of the voting common stock) is owned
directly by Melvin Simon, Herbert Simon and David Simon. Because Simon Group
exercises significant influence over the financial and operating policies of the
Management Company, it is reflected in the accompanying statements using the
equity method of accounting. The Management Company, including its consolidated
subsidiaries, provides management, leasing, development, project management,
accounting, legal, marketing and management information systems services and
property damage and general liability insurance coverage to certain Portfolio
Properties. These services, excluding insurance coverage, are also provided to
Melvin Simon & Associates, Inc. ("MSA"), and certain other nonowned properties
for a fee. Simon Group incurred costs of $145,655, $85,229 and $30,949 on
consolidated Properties, related to services provided by the Management Company
and its affiliates in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Fees for services
provided by the Management Company to MSA were $3,301, $3,073 and $4,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     The SPG Operating Partnership manages substantially all Wholly-Owned
Properties and 26 Properties owned as joint venture interests, and, accordingly,
it reimburses a subsidiary of the Management Company for costs incurred relating
to such Properties, including management, leasing, development, accounting,
legal, marketing, and management information systems. Substantially all
employees of Simon Group (other than direct field personnel) are employed by
such Management Company subsidiary. The Management Company records costs net of
amounts reimbursed by the SPG Operating Partnership. Common costs are allocated
based on payroll and related costs using assumptions that management believes
are reasonable. The SPG Operating Partnership's share of allocated common costs
was $42,546, $35,341 and $29,262 for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     At December 31, 1998 and 1997, total notes receivable and advances due from
the Management Company and its consolidated affiliates were $115,378 and
$93,809, respectively. Unpaid interest income receivable from the Management
Company at December 31, 1998 and 1997, was $722 and $485, respectively. Accrued
and unpaid preferred dividends due from the Management Company at December 31,
1998 and 1997 were $117 and $0, respectively. Amounts payable by the SPG
Operating Partnership under the cost-sharing arrangement and management
contracts were $4,968 and $1,725 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
and are reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses in SPG's accompanying
Consolidated Balance Sheets.

          Fixed-Rate Debt

     Mortgages and Other Notes. The fixed-rate mortgage loans bear interest
ranging from 6.57% to 10.00% (weighted average of 7.55% at December 31, 1998),
require monthly payments of principal and/or interest and have various due dates
through 2027 (average maturity of 5.9 years). Certain of the Properties are
pledged as collateral to secure the related mortgage note. The fixed and
variable mortgage notes are nonrecourse and certain ones have partial guarantees
by affiliates of approximately $706,042. Certain of the Properties are cross-
defaulted and cross-collateralized as part of a group of properties. Under
certain of the cross-default provisions, a default under any mortgage included
in the cross-defaulted package may constitute a default under all such mortgages
and may lead to acceleration of the indebtedness due on each Property within the
collateral package. Certain of the Properties are subject to financial
performance covenants relating to debt-to-market capitalization, minimum
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") ratios
and minimum equity values.

     Unsecured Notes and Mandatory Par Put Remarketed Securities. In connection
with the CPI Merger, RPT, a REIT and the 99.999% owned subsidiary of the SPG
Operating Partnership, took title to substantially all of the CPI assets and
assumed $825,000 of unsecured notes (the "CPI Notes"), as described in Note 3.
The CPI Notes are structurally senior in right of payment to holders of other
Simon Group unsecured notes to the extent of the assets and related cash flow of
RPT only, with over 99.999% of the excess cash flow plus any capital event
transactions available for the other Simon Group unsecured notes. The CPI Notes
pay interest semiannually at rates ranging from 7.05% to 9.00% (weighted average
of 8.03%), and have various due dates through 2016 (average maturity of 9.1
years). The CPI Notes contain leverage ratios, annual real property appraisal
requirements, debt service coverage ratios and minimum net worth ratios.

     The CPI Notes together with existing Simon Group nonconvertible investment-
grade unsecured debt securities aggregate $2,617,277 (the "Notes"). In addition,
Simon Group has outstanding $205,273 of 7.00% Mandatory Par Put Remarketed
Securities ("MOPPRS") at December 31, 1998. The Notes pay interest semiannually
at rates ranging from 6.63% to 9.0% (weighted average of 7.25%), and have
various due dates through 2018 (average maturity of 8.3 years). The MOPPRS are
due June 15, 2028, and are subject to redemption on June 16, 2008. The premium
received relating to the MOPPRS of approximately $5,302 is being amortized over
the life of the debt securities. The MOPPRS and certain of the Notes are
guaranteed by the SPG Operating Partnership and contain leverage ratios and
minimum EBITDA and unencumbered EBITDA ratios.

     Additionally, on February 4, 1999, the SPG Operating Partnership completed
the sale of another $600,000 of senior unsecured notes. These notes include two
$300,000 tranches. The first tranche bears interest at 6.75% and matures on
February 4, 2004 and the second tranche bears interest at 7.125% and matures on
February 4, 2009. The SPG Operating Partnership used the net proceeds of
approximately $594,000 to retire the $450,000 initial tranche of the Merger
Facility and to pay $142,000 on the outstanding balance of the Credit Facility.

     Medium-Term Notes. On May 15, 1997, Simon Group established a Medium-Term
Note ("MTN") program. On June 24, 1997, Simon Group completed the sale of
$100,000 of notes under the MTN program, which bear interest at 7.125% and have
a stated maturity of June 24, 2005. On September 10, 1997, Simon Group issued
the remaining $180,000 principal amount of notes under its MTN program. These
notes mature on September 20, 2007 and bear interest at 7.125% per annum. The
net proceeds from each of these sales were used primarily to pay down the Credit
Facility.

     Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates. Simon Group has outstanding
a series of six classes of commercial mortgage pass-through certificates cross-
collateralized by seven Properties, which matures on December 19, 2004. Five of
the six classes totaling $175,000 bear fixed interest rates ranging from 6.716%
to 8.233%, with the remaining $50,000 class bearing interest at LIBOR plus
0.365%.

     6 3/4% Putable Asset Trust Securities (PATS). The PATS, issued December
1996, pay interest semiannually at 6.75% and mature in 2003. These notes contain
leverage ratios and minimum EBITDA and unencumbered EBITDA ratios. The net
discount relating to the PATS is being amortized over their remaining life.

          Variable-Rate Debt

     Mortgages and Other Notes. The variable-rate mortgage loans and other notes
bear interest ranging from 5.61% to 7.74% (weighted average of 6.39% at December
31, 1998) and are due at various dates through 2004 (average maturity of 3.3
years). Certain of the Properties are subject to collateral, cross-default and
cross-collateral agreements, participation agreements or other covenants
relating to debt-to-market capitalization, minimum EBITDA ratios and minimum
equity values.

                                       80

     Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is a $1,250,000 unsecured revolving
credit facility which initially matures in September of 1999, with a one-year
extension available at Simon Group's option. The Credit Facility bears interest
at LIBOR plus 65 basis points, with an additional 15 basis point facility fee on
the entire $1,250,000. The maximum and average amounts outstanding during 1998
under the Credit Facility were $992,000 and $583,668, respectively. The Credit
Facility is primarily used for funding acquisition, renovation and expansion and
predevelopment opportunities. At December 31, 1998, the Credit Facility had an
effective interest rate of 6.2%, with $880,800 available after outstanding
borrowings and letters of credit. The Credit Facility contains financial
covenants relating to a capitalization value, minimum EBITDA and unencumbered
EBITDA ratios and minimum equity values.

     The Merger Facility. In conjunction with the CPI Merger, the SPG Operating
Partnership and SPG, as co-borrowers, closed a $1,400,000 medium term unsecured
bridge loan (the "Merger Facility"). The Merger Facility bears interest at a
base rate of LIBOR plus 65 basis points and will mature at the following
intervals (i) $450,000 on June 24, 1999 (ii) $450,000 on March 24, 2000 and
(iii) $500,000 on September 24, 2000. As described above, in February 1999 the
initial $450,000 maturity on the Merger Facility was retired with proceeds from
a $600,000 unsecured debt offering. The Merger Facility is subject to covenants
and conditions substantially identical to those of the Credit Facility. Simon
Group drew the entire $1,400,000 available on the Merger Facility along with
$237,000 on the Credit Facility to pay for the cash portion of the dividend
declared in conjunction with the CPI Merger, as well as certain other costs
associated with the CPI Merger. Financing costs of $9,456, which were incurred
to obtain the Merger Facility, are being amortized over 18 months.

     Unsecured Term Loans. Simon Group has two unsecured term loans outstanding
at December 31, 1998, totaling $133,000, which were obtained to retire mortgage
indebtedness. These term loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.65% and mature on
January 31, 2000. Simon Group has an interest-rate protection agreement covering
one of these term loans in the amount of $63,000, which effectively fixes the
interest rate at 6.14%.

          Debt Maturity and Other

     As of December 31, 1998, scheduled principal repayments on indebtedness

     Debt premiums and discounts are being amortized over the terms of the
related debt instruments. Certain mortgages and notes payable may be prepaid but
are generally subject to a prepayment of a yield-maintenance premium.

     Net extraordinary gains (losses) resulting from the early extinguishment,
refinancing or forgiveness of debt of $7,146, $58 and $(3,521) were incurred for
the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     The Joint Venture Properties have $2,861,589 and $1,888,512 of mortgages
and other notes payable at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Simon
Group's share of this debt was $1,227,044 and $770,776 at December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively. This debt, including a premium of $20,868 in 1998, becomes
due in installments over various terms extending through 2009, with interest
rates ranging from 5.44% to 9.75% (weighted average rate of 6.99% at December
31, 1998). The debt, excluding the $20,868 premium, matures $17,270 in 1999;
$220,961 in 2000; $9,622 in 2001; $265,603 in 2002; $435,298 in 2003 and
$1,891,967 thereafter.

          Interest Rate Protection Agreements

     Simon Group has entered into certain interest rate protection agreements,
in the form of "cap" or "swap" arrangements, with respect to the majority of its
variable-rate mortgages and other notes payable. Swap arrangements, which
effectively fix Simon Group's interest rate on the respective borrowings, have
been entered into for $550,000 principal amount of consolidated debt. Cap
arrangements, which effectively limit the amount by which variable interest
rates may rise, have been entered into for $387,999 principal amount of
consolidated debt and cap LIBOR at rates ranging from 5.49% to 16.765% through
the related debt's maturity. Costs of the caps ($1,338) are amortized over the
life of the agreements. The unamortized

                                       81
<PAGE>
 
balance of the cap arrangements was $429 and $2,006 as of December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively. Simon Group's hedging activity as a result of interest swaps
and caps resulted in net interest savings of $263, $1,586 and $2,165 for the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. This did not
materially impact Simon Group's weighted average borrowing rate.

          Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The carrying value of variable-rate mortgages and other loans represents
their fair values. The fair value of fixed-rate mortgages and other notes
payable was approximately $6,100,000 and $3,900,000 at December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively. The fair value of the interest rate protection agreements at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, was ($7,213) and ($692), respectively. At December
31, 1998 and 1997, the estimated discount rates were 6.70% and 6.66%,
respectively.

10. Rentals under Operating Leases

     Simon Group receives rental income from the leasing of retail and mixed-use
space under operating leases. Future minimum rentals to be received under
noncancelable operating leases for each of the next five years and thereafter,
excluding tenant reimbursements of operating expenses and percentage rent based
on tenant sales volume, as of December 31, 1998, are as follows:

     Approximately 2.9% of future minimum rents to be received are attributable
to leases with JCPenney Company, Inc., an affiliate of a limited partner in the
SPG Operating Partnership.

11. Capital Stock

     In connection with the CPI Merger, SPG restated its certificate of
incorporation to, among other things, restate the number of shares and classes
of capital stock authorized for issuance. SPG is now authorized to issue up to
750,000,000 shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of capital stock. The
authorized shares of capital stock consist of 400,000,000 shares of common
stock, 12,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, 4,000 shares of Class C common
stock, 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, including 209,249 shares of Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock and 5,000,000 shares of Class B Convertible
Preferred Stock, and 237,996,000 shares of excess common stock. Each share of
common stock of SPG is paired with 1/100th of a share of common stock of SRC.

     The articles of incorporation of SRC were also restated in conjunction with
the CPI Merger. SRC is now authorized to issue up to 7,500,000 shares, par value
$0.0001 per share, of common stock. SRC's historical shares and per share
amounts have been adjusted to give effect to the change in SRC's par value of
common stock from $.10 per share to $.0001 per share and to the CPI Merger
exchange ratio of 2.0818 and to change the pairing of SRC's stock from 1/10th to
1/100th.

     The Board of Directors is authorized to reclassify the excess stock into
one or more additional classes and series of capital stock to establish the
number of shares in each class or series and to fix the preferences, conversion
and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, and
qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of such class or series,
without any further vote or action by the shareholders. The issuance of
additional classes or series of capital stock may have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control of SPG without further action of the
shareholders. The ability of the Board of Directors to issue additional classes
or series of capital stock, while providing flexibility in connection with
possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of
making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a
third party from acquiring, a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the
Companies.

     The holders of common stock of SPG are entitled to one vote for each share
held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, other than
for the election of directors. The holders of Class B common stock are entitled
to elect four of the thirteen members of the board. The holder of the Class C
common stock, which was issued in connection with the DRC Merger, as described
below, is entitled to elect two of the thirteen members of the board. The Class
B and Class C shares can be converted into shares of common stock at the option
of the holders. Shares of Class B common stock convert automatically 

                                       82
<PAGE>
 
into an equal number of shares of common stock upon the sale or transfer thereof
to a person not affiliated with the Simons. Shares of Class C common stock
convert automatically into an equal number of shares of common stock upon the
sale or transfer thereof to a person not affiliated with the members of the
DeBartolo family or entities controlled by them. The Companies have reserved
3,200,000 and 4,000 shares of common stock for the possible conversion of the
outstanding Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

          Common Stock Issuances

     During 1998, SPG issued 2,957,335 shares of its common stock in offerings
generating combined net proceeds of approximately $91,399. The net proceeds were
contributed to the SPG Operating Partnership in exchange for a like number of
Units. The SPG Operating Partnership used the net proceeds for general working
capital purposes.

     On November 11, 1997, SPG issued 3,809,523 shares of its common stock upon
the conversion of all of the outstanding shares of SPG's 8.125% Series A
Preferred Stock, $.0001 par value per share.

     On September 19, 1997, SPG issued 4,500,000 shares of its common stock in a
public offering. SPG contributed the net proceeds of approximately $146,800 to
the SPG Operating Partnership in exchange for an equal number of Units. The SPG
Operating Partnership used the net proceeds to retire a portion of the
outstanding balance on the Credit Facility.

     As described in Note 4, in connection with the DRC Merger on August 9,
1996, SPG issued 37,873,965 shares of common stock and 4,000 shares of Class C
common stock.

          Preferred Stock

     SPG has 209,249 shares of 6.50% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
outstanding. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible
into 37.995 paired shares of common stock of the Companies, subject to
adjustment under certain circumstances including (i) a subdivision or
combination of shares of common stock of the Companies, (ii) a declaration of a
distribution of additional shares of common stock of the Companies, issuances of
rights or warrants by the Companies and (iii) any consolidation or merger, which
the Companies are a part of or a sale or conveyance of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Companies to another person or any statutory exchange of
securities with another person. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is not
redeemable, except as needed to maintain or bring the direct or indirect
ownership of the capital stock of SPG into conformity with REIT requirements.

     In addition, SPG has 4,844,331 shares of 6.50% Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock outstanding. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
is convertible into 2.586 paired shares of common stock of the Companies,
subject to adjustment under circumstances identical to those of the Series A
Preferred Stock described above. The Companies may redeem the Series B Preferred
Stock on or after September 24, 2003 at a price beginning at 105% of the
liquidation preference plus accrued dividends and declining to 100% of the
liquidation preference plus accrued dividends any time on or after September 24,
2008.

          Preferred Stock of Subsidiary

     In connection with the CPI Merger, SPG Properties, Inc., formerly Simon
DeBartolo Group, Inc., became a subsidiary of SPG. Accordingly, the 11,000,000
shares of Series B and Series C cumulative redeemable preferred stock described
below have been reflected outside of equity as Preferred Stock of Subsidiary as
of the date of the CPI Merger.

     On July 9, 1997, SPG Properties, Inc. sold 3,000,000 shares of its 7.89%
Series C Cumulative Step-Up Premium RateSM Preferred Stock (the "Series C
Preferred Shares") in a public offering at $50.00 per share. Beginning October
1, 2012, the rate increases to 9.89% per annum. Management intends to redeem the
Series C Preferred Shares prior to October 1, 2012. The Series C Preferred
Shares are not redeemable prior to September 30, 2007. Beginning September 30,
2007, the Series C Preferred Shares may be redeemed at the option of SPG
Properties, Inc. in whole or in part, at a redemption price of $50.00 per share,
plus accrued and unpaid distributions, if any, thereon. The redemption price of
the Series C Preferred Shares may only be paid from the sale proceeds of other
capital stock of SPG Properties, Inc., which may include other classes or series
of preferred stock. Additionally, the Series C Preferred Shares have no stated
maturity and are not subject to any mandatory redemption provisions, nor are
they convertible into any other securities of SPG Properties, Inc. SPG
Properties, Inc. contributed the net proceeds of this offering of approximately
$146,000 to the SPG Operating Partnership in exchange for preferred Units, the
economic terms of which are substantially identical to the Series C Preferred
Shares.

     On September 27, 1996, SPG Properties, Inc. completed a $200,000 public
offering of 8,000,000 shares of Series B cumulative redeemable preferred stock,
generating net proceeds of approximately $193,000. Dividends on the preferred
stock

                                       83
<PAGE>
 
are paid quarterly in arrears at 8.75% per annum. SPG Properties, Inc. may
redeem the preferred stock any time on or after September 29, 2006, at a
redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The
redemption price (other than the portion thereof consisting of accrued and
unpaid dividends) is payable solely out of the sale proceeds of other capital
shares of SPG Properties, Inc., which may include other series of preferred
shares. SPG Properties, Inc. contributed the proceeds to the SPG Operating
Partnership in exchange for preferred Units. The SPG Operating Partnership pays
a preferred distribution to SPG Properties, Inc. equal to the dividends paid on
the preferred stock.

          Notes Receivable from Former CPI Shareholders

     Notes receivable of $27,168 from former CPI shareholders, which result from
securities issued under CPI's executive compensation program and were assumed in
connection with the CPI Merger, are reflected as a deduction from capital in
excess of par value in the statements of shareholders' equity in the
accompanying combined financial statements and SPG's financial statements.
Certain of such notes totaling $9,519 are interest bearing at rates ranging from
5.31% to 6.00% and become due during the period 2000 to 2002. The remainder of
the notes do not bear interest and become due at the time the underlying shares
are sold.

          The Simon Property Group 1998 Stock Incentive Plan

     At the time of the CPI Merger, Simon Group adopted `The Simon Property
Group 1998 Stock Incentive Plan' (the "1998 Plan"). The 1998 Plan provides for
the grant of equity-based awards during the ten-year period following its
adoption, in the form of options to purchase paired shares of the Companies'
common stock ("Options"), stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock
grants and performance unit awards (collectively, "Awards"). Options may be
granted which are qualified as "incentive stock options" within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code and Options which are not so qualified.

     The primary purpose of the 1998 Plan is to attract and retain the best
available eligible officers, directors, key employees, advisors and consultants.
The Companies have reserved for issuance 6,300,000 paired shares of common stock
under the 1998 Plan, which includes 2,230,875 shares reserved for the exercise
of options granted and grants of restricted stock allocated under the previously
existing Stock Incentive Program and DRC Plan, which are described below. If
stock options granted in connection with the 1998 Plan are exercised at any time
or from time to time, the partnership agreement requires the Companies to sell
to the Operating Partnerships, at fair market value, paired shares of the
Companies' common stock sufficient to satisfy the exercised stock options. The
Companies are also obligated to purchase paired Units for cash in an amount
equal to the fair market value of such shares.

     Administration. The 1998 Plan is administered by Simon Group's Compensation
Committee (the "Committee"). The Committee, in its sole discretion, determines
which eligible individuals may participate and the type, extent and terms of the
Awards to be granted to them. In addition, the Committee interprets the 1998
Plan and makes all other determinations deemed advisable for the administration
of the 1998 Plan. Options granted to employees ("Employee Options") become
exercisable over the period determined by the Committee. The exercise price of
an Employee Option may not be less than the fair market value of the shares of
the common stock on the date of grant. Currently, Employee Options outstanding
vest 40% on the first anniversary of the date of grant, an additional 30% on the
second anniversary of the grant date and become fully vested three years after
the grant date. The Employee Options expire ten years from the date of grant.

     Director Options. The 1998 Plan provides for automatic grants of Options
("Director Options") to directors of the Companies who are not also employees of
the SPG Operating Partnership or its "affiliates" ("Eligible Directors"). Under
the 1998 Plan, each Eligible Director is automatically granted Director Options
to purchase 5,000 shares of the Companies' common stock upon the director's
initial election to the Board of Directors. Eligible Directors will also receive
Director Options to purchase 3,000 shares of common stock multiplied by the
number of calendar years that have elapsed since such person's last election to
the Board of Directors upon each reelection of the Eligible Director to the
Board of Directors. The exercise price of the options is equal to 100% of the
fair market value of the Companies' common stock on the date of grant. Director
Options become vested and exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of
grant or at such earlier time as a "change in control" of the Companies (as
defined in the 1998 Plan). Director Options will terminate 30 days after the
optionee ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors.

     Restricted Stock. In October 1994, under a previous stock incentive
program, the Compensation Committee approved a five-year stock incentive program
(the "Stock Incentive Program"), under which shares of restricted common stock
of SPG were granted to certain employees at no cost to those employees if SPG
attained certain growth targets established by the Compensation Committee from
time to time. In addition, in 1994, DRC established a five-year stock incentive
program (the "DRC Plan") under which shares of restricted common stock were
granted to certain DRC employees at no cost to those employees also based upon
growth targets established by their Compensation Committee. At the time of the
DRC Merger, SPG agreed to assume the terms and conditions of the DRC Plan and
the economic criteria upon which restricted stock under

                                       84
<PAGE>
 
both the Stock Incentive Program and the DRC Plan would be deemed earned and
awarded were aligned with one another. Further, other terms and conditions of
the DRC Plan and Stock Incentive Program were modified so that beginning with
calendar year 1996, the terms and conditions of these two programs are
substantially the same. Both the Stock Incentive Program and the DRC Plan
provided for a percentage of each of these restricted stock grants to be earned
and awarded each year. Any restricted stock earned and awarded vests in four
installments of 25% each on January 1 of each year following the year in which
the restricted stock is deemed earned and awarded.

     The terms and conditions concerning vesting of the restricted stock grant
to the Companies' President and Chief Operating Officer are different from those
established by the DRC Plan and are specifically set forth in the employment
contract with such individual.

     In March 1995, an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of restricted stock was
granted to 50 executives, subject to the performance standards, vesting
requirements and other terms of the Stock Incentive Program. Prior to the DRC
Merger, 2,108,000 shares of DRC common stock were deemed available for grant to
certain designated employees of DRC, also subject to certain performance
standards, vesting requirements and other terms of the DRC Plan. During 1998,
1997 and 1996, a total of 495,131; 448,753 and 200,030 shares of common stock,
respectively, net of forfeitures, were deemed earned and awarded under the Stock
Incentive Program and the DRC Plan. Through December 31, 1998, a total of
1,287,225 shares of common stock, net of forfeitures, were deemed earned and
awarded under these programs. Approximately $9,463, $5,386 and $2,084 relating
to these programs were amortized in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The cost
of restricted stock grants, which is based upon the stock's fair market value at
the time such stock is earned, awarded and issued, is charged to shareholders'
equity and subsequently amortized against earnings of Simon Group over the
vesting period.

     SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires entities
to measure compensation costs related to awards of stock-based compensation
using either the fair value method or the intrinsic value method. Under the fair
value method, compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the
fair value of the award. Under the intrinsic value method, compensation expense
is equal to the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the
grant date over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock. Entities
electing to measure compensation costs using the intrinsic value method must
make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair
value method had been applied. Simon Group has elected to account for stock-
based compensation programs using the intrinsic value method consistent with
existing accounting policies. Simon Group granted 5,000 and 380,000 options
during April 1998 and September 1998, respectively. The options vest over a
three-year period. The fair value at date of grant for options granted during
1998 was $6.19 and $7.25 per option for the April and September grants,
respectively. The fair value at the date of grant for options granted during the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 was $3.18 and $2.13 per option,
respectively. The impact on pro forma net income and earnings per share as a
result of applying the fair value method was not material.

     The fair value of the options at the date of grant was estimated using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

          Exchange Rights

     Limited partners in the Operating Partnerships have the right to exchange
all or any portion of their Units for shares of common stock on a one-for-one
basis or cash, as selected by the Board of Directors. The amount of cash to be
paid if the exchange right is exercised and the cash option is selected will be
based on the trading price of the Companies' common stock at that time. The
Companies have reserved 64,182,157 paired shares of common stock for possible
issuance upon the exchange of Units.

12. Employee Benefit Plans

     Simon Group maintains a tax-qualified retirement 401(k) savings plan. Under
the plan, eligible employees can participate in a cash or deferred arrangement
permitting them to defer up to a maximum of 12% of their compensation, subject
to certain limitations. Participants' salary deferrals are matched at specified
percentages, and the plan provides annual contributions of 3% of eligible
employees' compensation. Simon Group contributed $2,581, $2,727 and $2,350 to
the plans in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     Except for the 401(k) plan, Simon Group offers no other postretirement or
postemployment benefits to its employees.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

          Litigation

     Richard E. Jacobs, et al. v. Simon DeBartolo Group, L.P. On September 3,
1998, a complaint was filed in the Court of Common Pleas in Cuyahoga County,
Ohio, captioned Richard E. Jacobs, et al. v. Simon DeBartolo Group, L.P. The
plaintiffs are all principals or affiliates of The Richard E. Jacobs Group, Inc.
("Jacobs"). The plaintiffs allege in their complaint that the SPG Operating
Partnership engaged in malicious prosecution, abuse of process, defamation,
libel, injurious falsehood/unlawful disparagement, deceptive trade practices
under Ohio law, tortious interference and unfair competition in

                                      86
<PAGE>
 
connection with the SPG Operating Partnership's acquisition by tender offer of
shares in RPT, a Massachusetts business trust, and certain litigation instituted
in September, 1997, by the SPG Operating Partnership against Jacobs in federal
district court in New York, wherein the SPG Operating Partnership alleged that
Jacobs and other parties had engaged, or were engaging in activity which
violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as
certain rules promulgated thereunder. Plaintiffs in the Ohio action are seeking
compensatory damages in excess of $200,000, punitive damages and reimbursement
for fees and expenses. It is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of this
action and there can be no assurance that the SPG Operating Partnership will
receive a favorable verdict. Based upon the information known at this time, in
the opinion of management, it is not expected that this action will have a
material adverse effect on Simon Group.

     Carlo Angostinelli et al. v. DeBartolo Realty Corp. et al. On October 16,
1996, a complaint was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Mahoning County,
Ohio, captioned Carlo Angostinelli et al. v. DeBartolo Realty Corp. et al. The
named defendants are SD Property Group, Inc., a indirect 99%-owned subsidiary of
SPG, and DeBartolo Properties Management, Inc., a subsidiary of the Management
Company, and the plaintiffs are 27 former employees of the defendants. In the
complaint, the plaintiffs alleged that they were recipients of deferred stock
grants under the DRC Plan and that these grants immediately vested under the DRC
Plan's "change in control" provision as a result of the DRC Merger. Plaintiffs
asserted that the defendants' refusal to issue them approximately 661,000 shares
of DRC common stock, which is equivalent to approximately 450,000 paired shares
of common stock of the Companies computed at the 0.68 exchange ratio used in the
DRC Merger, constituted a breach of contract and a breach of the implied
covenant of good faith and fair dealing under Ohio law. Plaintiffs sought
damages equal to such number of shares of DRC common stock, or cash in lieu
thereof, equal to all deferred stock ever granted to them under the DRC Plan,
dividends on such stock from the time of the grants, compensatory damages for
breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and punitive
damages. The complaint was served on the defendants on October 28, 1996. The
plaintiffs and the Company each filed motions for summary judgment. On October
31, 1997, the Court entered a judgment in favor of the Company granting the
Company's motion for summary judgment. The plaintiffs have appealed this
judgment and the matter is pending. While it is difficult to predict the
ultimate outcome of this action, based on the information known to date, it is
not expected that this action will have a material adverse effect on Simon 
Group.

     Roel Vento et al v. Tom Taylor et al. An affiliate of the Company is a
defendant in litigation entitled Roel Vento et al v. Tom Taylor et al., in the
District Court of Cameron County, Texas, in which a judgment in the amount of
$7,800 has been entered against all defendants. This judgment includes
approximately $6,500 of punitive damages and is based upon a jury's findings on
four separate theories of liability including fraud, intentional infliction of
emotional distress, tortious interference with contract and civil conspiracy
arising out of the sale of a business operating under a temporary license
agreement at Valle Vista Mall in Harlingen, Texas. The Company is seeking to
overturn the award and has appealed the verdict. The Company's appeal is
pending. Although management is optimistic that the Company may be able to
reverse or reduce the verdict, there can be no assurance thereof. Management,
based upon the advice of counsel, believes that the ultimate outcome of this
action will not have a material adverse effect on the Simon Group.

     Simon Group currently is not subject to any other material litigation other
than routine litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of business. On the basis of consultation with counsel, management
believes that these items will not have a material adverse impact on Simon
Group's financial position or results of operations.

          Lease Commitments

     As of December 31, 1998, a total of 37 of the Wholly-Owned and Minority
Interest Properties are subject to ground leases. The termination dates of these
ground leases range from 1999 to 2087. These ground leases generally require
payments by Simon Group of a fixed annual rent, or a fixed annual rent plus a
participating percentage over a base rate. Ground lease expense incurred by
Simon Group for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, was $13,618,
$10,511 and $8,506, respectively.

  Future minimum lease payments due under such ground leases for each of the
next five years ending December 31 and thereafter are as follows:

          Environmental Matters

     Nearly all of the Properties have been subjected to Phase I or similar
environmental audits. Such audits have not revealed nor is management aware of
any environmental liability that management believes would have a material
adverse impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Management is unaware of any instances in which it would incur significant
environmental costs if any or all Properties were sold, disposed of or
abandoned.

14. Related Party Transactions

     SRC receives a substantial amount of its rental income from SPG, and from
CPI for periods prior to the CPI Merger, for office space under lease. During
1997 and 1996 SRC also received management fee income under various management
contracts with affiliates of CPI. These contracts had expired as of December 31,
1997.

     In preparation for the CPI Merger, on July 31, 1998, CPI, with assistance
from SPG Operating Partnership, completed the sale of the General Motors
Building in New York, New York for approximately $800,000. The SPG Operating
Partnership and certain third parties each received a $2,500 fee from CPI in
connection with the sale.

15. New Accounting Pronouncement

     On June 15, 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
The Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that
every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded
in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
liability measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the
derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges
allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged
item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally
document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive
hedge accounting.

     Statement 133 will be effective for Simon Group beginning with the 1999
fiscal year and may not be applied retroactively. Management does not expect the
impact of Statement 133 to be material to the financial statements. However, the
Statement could increase volatility in earnings and other comprehensive income.

     On April 3, 1998 the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1998. SOP 98-5 states that costs of start-up activities, including organization
costs, should be expensed as incurred. Management does not expect the impact of
SOP 98-5 to be material to the financial statements.
