NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Organization, Business and Basis of Presentation
Organization and Business
CV Reit, Inc. ("CV Reit") is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") which until
December 31, 1997, was principally engaged in investing in real estate mortgage
notes. Effective December 31, 1997, CV Reit and its subsidiaries converted to an
Umbrella Partnership REIT (UPREIT) structure as part of a series of transactions
which closed on that date and which included the following: (1) a newly created
Operating Partnership, Montgomery CV Realty L.P. (together with its wholly-owned
subsidiaries hereinafter collectively referred to as the "OP"), acquired 100% of
the ownership interests in ten commercial properties, and an approximately 95%
economic interest in Drexel Realty, Inc. ("Drexel"), a real estate management
and leasing company and (2) CV Reit and its subsidiaries transferred
substantially all of their net assets (or the economic benefit thereof) to the
OP. As a result, CV Reit, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, indirectly
currently owns 84.1% of the OP, is the OP's sole general partner and is a
self-administered, self-managed equity REIT. As of March 31, 1999, the OP owned
18 shopping centers and two office buildings, located in the Mid-Atlantic region
and Florida aggregating over 1.8 million square feet.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CV
Reit and all subsidiaries ("the Company"), including the OP. The Company owns
99% of the non-voting common stock and a 95% economic interest in Drexel, and
owns 45%-50% interests in certain real estate partnerships, which are accounted
for on the equity method. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been consolidated or omitted pursuant to such rules
and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these
consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.
<PAGE> 7
The consolidated financial statements for the interim periods included herein,
which are unaudited, include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the
financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods
presented. The results of operations for interim periods should not be
considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported statements of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual revenues could differ from those estimates.
(2) Real Estate - Income Producing ("Real Estate")

========= =========
(b) On March 31, 1999, the OP purchased a 202,499 square foot shopping center,
located in New Jersey, for a purchase price of $24.4 million, including
transaction costs, substantially all of which was financed by mortgage debt. The
OP was required to deposit an additional $1 million with the lender in
connection with future capital improvements.
<PAGE> 8
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase; accordingly, the net assets of
the shopping center acquired are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as
of the date of acquisition and the Consolidated Statements of Income will
include the operating results beginning with the second quarter of 1999.
In addition, the OP has several pending acquisitions of shopping centers for an
aggregate purchase price of $19 million. See Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition Liquidity and Capital
Resources - Acquisitions for a discussion of these potential acquisitions.
(c) Real Estate with a net book value of $161.2 million, at March 31, 1999, is
pledged as collateral for borrowings (Note 4).
(3) Real Estate Mortgage Notes Receivable
At March 31, 1999, the Company's real estate mortgage notes receivable consisted
of $24.9 million due from Hilcoast Development Corp. (the "Hilcoast Recreation
Note"), collateralized by first mortgages on the recreation facilities at the
Century Village at Pembroke Pines adult condominium project in southeast
Florida, and $39.8 million, collateralized by first mortgages on the recreation
facilities at the three previously completed Century Village communities in
southeast Florida (collectively, the "Recreation Notes"). The Hilcoast
Recreation Note provides for self-amortizing equal monthly principal and
interest payments due through July 31, 2023, bears interest at 11% per annum,
and may not be prepaid by Hilcoast without a prepayment penalty. The remaining
Recreation Notes principally provide for self-amortizing equal monthly principal
and interest payments due through 2012, with interest rates averaging 13% per
annum, and contain certain prepayment prohibitions. The Recreation Notes are
pledged as collateral for borrowings (Note 4).

(5) Segment Reporting
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information", requires disclosure of financial and
descriptive information about the Company's reportable operating segments. The
operating segments presented are the segments of the Company for which separate
financial information is available and operating performance is evaluated
regularly by senior management in deciding how to allocate resources and in
assessing performance. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating
segments generally based on net operating income (before and after interest
expense) and Funds From Operations ("FFO" - see Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition for a definition of
FFO).
Effective December 31, 1997, the Company became an equity REIT engaged in the
acquisition, leasing and management of neighborhood or community shopping
centers, located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Florida. Prior to 1998, the
Company's only principal business segment consisted of investments in real
estate mortgage notes. Although the Company no longer invests in new real estate
mortgage notes, it continues to hold its Recreation Notes (Note 3) and, as a
result, the following segment disclosure includes information on those
investments (in thousands):

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results
of Operations and Financial Condition
Results of Operations
Net Income
Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and 1998
For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, net income was $1,829,000 or $.23 per
share compared to $1,877,000 or $.24 per share for the same period of 1998.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, rent revenue, operating expenses and
interest expense increased by $2,775,000, $854,000, and $1,031,000, respectively
(a net increase of $890,000), primarily due to the acquisition of seven shopping
centers during 1998 (the "1998 Acquisitions"). The increase also reflects
improved operating results from existing centers which experienced a $145,000
increase in net rental income (rent revenue less operating expenses). We expect
continued increases in rent revenue, operating costs and interest expense due to
the acquisition of Lakewood Plaza ("Lakewood"), a 202,499 square foot shopping
center, on March 31, 1999, for a purchase price of $24.4 million, including
transaction costs, substantially all of which was financed by mortgage debt, and
in the event certain additional planned acquisitions are consummated (see
Liquidity and Capital Resources - Acquisitions).
Interest income decreased by $441,000 during the first quarter of 1999,
primarily attributable to an approximately $10.5 million reduction in the
average balance of mortgage notes receivable. These notes principally consisted
of a line of credit and certain other loans to Hilcoast, which matured and were
repaid during 1998. The average interest rate on these notes approximated 10.6%
and the repayments were generally utilized to acquire shopping centers in 1998.
Our remaining mortgage notes receivable are long term and require
self-amortizing payments through 2023. Accordingly, interest income is
anticipated to continue to decrease although to a lesser extent, due to
scheduled repayments.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $429,000 due to the 1998
Acquisitions. We expect continued increases in depreciation and amortization due
to the Lakewood acquisition.
<PAGE> 12
Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations ("FFO"), as defined by the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), consists of net income (computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) before depreciation
and amortization of real property, certain non-recurring items, extraordinary
items, gains and losses on sales of real estate and income taxes.
The following schedule reconciles FFO to net income (in thousands):

- -------
(a) CV Reit's interests in the OP was 84.2% in the first quarter of 1999 and
81.7% in the first quarter of 1998.
We believe that FFO is an appropriate measure of operating performance because
real estate depreciation and amortization charges are not meaningful in
evaluating the operating results of our properties and would distort the
comparative measurement of performance and are not relevant to ongoing
operations. However, FFO does not represent cash generated from operating
activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
should not be considered as an alternative to either net income as a measure of
our operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as an
indicator of liquidity or cash available to fund all cash flow needs. In
addition, since other REITs may not calculate FFO in the same manner, FFO
presented herein may not be comparable to that reported by other REITs.
<PAGE> 13
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities, as reported in the Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows, amounted to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 1999
compared to $2 million for the same period in 1998. These amounts generally
reflect FFO and net changes in assets and liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $.4 million during the first
quarter of 1999 from $5.4 million for the same period in 1998. The 1999 amounts
reflect $.7 million of capital improvements. The 1998 amounts principally
consist of $7.5 million of cash required in connection with the acquisition of a
shopping center in the first quarter of 1998, partially offset by $2.3 million
of net collections on real estate mortgage notes receivable.
Net cash used in financing activities decreased to $1.3 million in the first
quarter of 1999 from $3 million during the same period of 1998. The 1999 amounts
consist of cash distributions of $2.3 million to stockholders and $.4 million to
minority interests and $1.4 million of net proceeds from borrowings. The 1998
amounts consist of cash distributions amounting to $2.3 million to stockholders
and $.7 million of repayments of borrowings.
Borrowings
At March 31, 1999, our borrowings increased to $148.6 million from $121.9
million at December 31, 1998. The $26.7 million increase included $25.3 million
borrowed under the Line of Credit (see below) to finance the Lakewood
acquisition. Scheduled principal payments over the next five years are $94.7
million with $53.9 million due thereafter.
Borrowings include $118.8 million, collateralized by a substantial portion of
our Real Estate, including $42.2 million under the Line of Credit (see below).
We expect to refinance certain of these borrowings, at or prior to maturity,
through new mortgage loans on Real Estate including refinancing under the Line
of Credit. The ability to do so, however, is dependent upon various factors,
including the income level of the properties, interest rates and credit
conditions within the commercial real estate market. Accordingly, there can be
no assurance that such refinancing can be achieved. As a result of refinancing
three mortgage loans in March and May of 1999, we have been able to reduce the
weighted average effective fixed interest rate on $23.5 million of mortgage
loans from 7.48% to 6.63%. We were also able to obtain an additional $5.2
million in cash in connection with the refinancings.
<PAGE> 14
The remaining $29.8 million of borrowings consists of the CMO's which are
collateralized by $39.8 million of the Recreation Notes and require
self-amortizing principal and interest payments through March 2007. During the
term of the CMO's, the scheduled annual debt service requirement approximates
$5.2 million compared to annual principal and interest payments scheduled to be
received under the related Recreation Notes of $6.5 million.
Effective March 31, 1998, we entered into a agreement with a financial
institution which provides us with a three year non-revolving line of credit for
up to $100 million (the "Line of Credit"). Advances under the Line of Credit:
(1) must be secured by assets based on specified aggregate loan to value and
debt service coverage ratios, (2) bear interest at an annual rate of one month
LIBOR plus 1.75% and (3) may be drawn only during the first two years of the
credit facility and must be repaid by certain dates during the third year.
Additional provisions include a 1% commitment fee, a minimum net worth covenant
and cross-default and cross-collateralization requirements. Advances under the
Line of Credit are used to fund acquisitions, expansions, renovations, financing
and refinancing of real estate, including reimbursement of equity advances, and
require certain performance covenants. In March 1999, we pledged the Hilcoast
Recreation Note as collateral for future borrowings under an $18.5 million
promissory note (the "Pembroke Note") as part of the Line of Credit. As of March
31, 1999, we had borrowed $42.2 million under the Line of Credit including $6.5
million under the Pembroke Note.
Capital Resources
Our operating funds are expected to be principally generated from rent revenue
from income producing properties and interest income on the Recreation Notes. We
believe that our operating funds will be sufficient in the foreseeable future to
fund operating and administrative expenses, interest expense, recurring capital
expenditures and distributions to stockholders in accordance with REIT
requirements. Sources of capital for non-recurring capital expenditures and
scheduled principal payments, including balloon payments, on outstanding
borrowings are expected to be obtained from property refinancings, scheduled
principal repayments on the Recreation Notes, sales of non-strategic other real
estate, the Line of Credit and/or potential debt or equity financing in the
public or private markets.
<PAGE> 15
Acquisitions
During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, we completed the Lakewood acquisition
for a purchase price of $24.4 million, including transaction costs,
substantially all of which was financed by mortgage debt. We were required to
deposit an additional $1 million with the lender in connection with future
capital improvements.
In addition, we have entered into conditional agreements to acquire three
shopping centers in Pennsylvania and New Jersey for an aggregate purchase price
of approximately $19 million. The acquisitions are subject to due diligence and
certain other conditions and there can be no assurance that they will be
consummated. If consummated, we plan to finance substantially all of the
purchase prices.
We are also in various stages of negotiating acquisitions of additional shopping
centers. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to complete any
such acquisition. In the event properties are acquired in the future, the OP may
issue additional OP units, pay cash, or a combination thereof. If cash payments
are required in excess of funds available under the Line of Credit, we may be
required to seek outside financing which may or may not be available.
Our policy is to acquire additional properties only if they are income producing
and any proposed acquisition requires a resolution by a majority of our Board of
Directors that the acquisition will not adversely affect our ability to pay a
quarterly dividend of at least 29 cents per share. Under the OP agreement, all
of the activities of the OP must generally be conducted with a view toward
enabling the OP to make quarterly distributions to all partners of at least 29
cents per OP unit and such additional amount, if required, to enable CV Reit to
pay a regular quarterly dividend of at least 29 cents per share to its
stockholders. As of March 31, 1999, there were 1,505,424 OP units held by
minority interests.
Inflation
During recent years, the rate of inflation has remained at a low level and had
minimal impact on our operating results.
<PAGE> 16
Most of the tenant leases contain provisions designed to lessen the impact of
inflation. These provisions include escalation clauses which generally increase
rental rates annually based on cost of living indexes (or based on stated rental
increases which are currently higher than recent cost of living increases), and
percentage rentals based on tenant's gross sales, which generally increase as
prices rise. Many of the leases are for terms of less than ten years which
increases our ability to replace those leases which are below market rates with
new leases at higher base and/or percentage rentals. In addition, most of the
leases require the tenants to pay their proportionate share of increases in
operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and
insurance.
However, in the event of significant inflation, our operating results could be
adversely affected if general and administrative expenses and interest expense
increase at a rate higher than rent income or if the increase in inflation
exceeds rent increases for certain tenant leases which provide for stated rent
increases (rather than based on cost of living indexes).
Year 2000 Issue
As many computer systems, software programs and other equipment with embedded
chips or processors (collectively, "Information Systems") use only two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year, they may be unable to process
accurately certain data, during or after the year 2000. As a result, business
and governmental entities are at risk for possible miscalculations or systems
failures causing disruptions in their business operations. This is commonly
known as the Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue. The Y2K issue concerns not only
Information Systems used solely within a company but also concerns third
parties, such as customers, vendors and creditors, using Information Systems
that may interact with or affect a company's operations.
Our State of Readiness
We have implemented a Y2K readiness program with the objective of having all of
our significant Information Systems functioning properly with respect to Y2K
before January 1, 2000. The first component of our readiness program was to
identify our internal Information Systems that are susceptible to system
failures or processing errors as a result of the Y2K issue. This effort is
substantially complete and any issues that arose have been identified and
corrected where necessary.
<PAGE> 17
As to the second component of the Y2K readiness program, we intend to identify
our significant tenants, vendors and creditors that are believed, at this time,
to be critical to business operations subsequent to January 1, 2000. We expect
to reasonably ascertain their respective stages of Y2K readiness through the use
of questionnaires, interviews, on-site visits and other available means. We will
take appropriate action based on those responses, but there can be no assurance
that the Information Systems provided by or utilized by other companies which
affect their operations will be timely converted in such a way as to allow them
to continue normal business operations or furnish products, services or data to
us without disruption.
Risks
If needed remediations and conversions to the Information Systems are not made
on a timely basis by our materially-significant customers or vendors, we could
be affected by business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal
liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material
adverse effect on our operations, liquidity or financial condition. Factors
which could cause material differences in results, many of which are outside our
control, include, but are not limited to, the accuracy of representations by
manufacturers of our Information Systems that their products are Y2K complaint,
the ability of our tenants and vendors to identify and resolve their own Y2K
issues and our ability to respond to unforeseen Y2K complications.
Y2K Costs
Our total cost of these Y2K compliance activities has not been and is not
anticipated to be material to our business, results of operations or financial
condition. The costs and time necessary to complete the Y2K modification and
testing processes are based on our best estimates, which were derived utilizing
numerous assumptions of future events including the continued availability of
certain resources, third party modification plans and other factors. However,
there can be no assurance that these estimates will be achieved and actual
results could differ from the estimates. Our Y2K readiness program is an ongoing
process and the estimates of costs and completion dates for various components
of the Y2K readiness program described above are subject to change.
Forward Looking Information: Certain Cautionary Statements
Certain statements contained in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results
of Operations and Financial Condition" and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, that are
not related to historical results, are forward looking statements, such as
anticipated liquidity and capital resources, completion of potential
acquisitions and collectibility of real estate mortgage notes receivable. The
matters referred to in forward looking statements are based on assumptions of
future events which may not prove to be accurate and which could be affected by
the risks and uncertainties involved in our business; accordingly, actual
results may differ materially from those projected and implied in the forward
looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited
to, the effect of conditions in the commercial real estate market and the
economy in general, the level and volatility of interest rates, the impact of
current or pending legislation and regulation, as well as certain other risks
described in the Form 10-Q. Subsequent written and oral forward looking
statements attributable to our company or persons acting on its behalf are
expressly qualified in their entirety by cautionary statements in this paragraph
and elsewhere described in this Form 10-Q and in other reports we filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
