PART I
Item 1. Business
Background
CV Reit, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, has operated as a real estate
investment trust (REIT) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue
Code since January 1, 1982. A company that qualifies as a REIT may, if it
distributes at least 95% of its ordinary taxable income (90% effective in 2001)
for a taxable year, deduct dividends paid to stockholders with respect to such
taxable year from taxable income. We intend to operate in such a manner that we
will continue to qualify as a REIT. In any year in which we qualify, we will not
be taxed under the Code on income distributed to our stockholders attributable
to that year.
After our qualification as a REIT in 1982, our operating strategy consisted of
investing in real estate mortgage notes receivable, primarily loans to
developers. Due to economic conditions in the real estate market and the economy
in general, in the early 1990's we decided to limit new loan commitments, repaid
all of our outstanding borrowings (other than our long-term collateralized
mortgage obligations) and began to seek alternative real estate investments with
proven and experienced personnel to manage and enhance such a portfolio.
Effective December 31, 1997, we acquired a number of shopping centers and an
interest in Drexel Realty, Inc., a real estate management and leasing company.
In connection with this transaction, we created an Umbrella Partnership REIT
(UPREIT) structure by forming an Operating Partnership, Montgomery CV Realty
L.P. (we refer to the Operating Partnership, together with its wholly owned
subsidiaries as the OP). The OP then acquired 100% of the ownership interests in
nine shopping centers and an office building, located in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, and a 95% economic interest in Drexel from Louis P. Meshon, Sr.. In
addition, we transferred substantially all of our net assets (or the economic
benefit) to the OP. As a result, we indirectly currently own 84.5% of the OP,
are its sole general partner and operate as a self-administered, self-managed
equity REIT with Mr. Meshon as President and Chief Executive Officer. As of
December 31, 1999, the OP owned twenty neighborhood or community shopping
centers and two office buildings, located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Florida, comprising approximately 1.9 million square feet.
Recent Development - Proposed Merger
On December 10, 1999, we signed a definitive merger agreement and reorganization
plan with Kranzco Realty Trust, a shopping center REIT, to merge our operations
and create a new community shopping center UPREIT to be called Kramont Realty
Trust. Terms of the merger call for common shareholders of both companies to
each receive one share of Kramont common stock for each outstanding share of CV
Reit and Kranzco common stock on a tax-free basis. The merger agreement is
subject to approval by shareholders of both companies and certain other
conditions.
Mr. Meshon will assume the same titles and responsibilities at the newly created
Kramont and our designees will hold the majority of the board seats. Corporate
headquarters will be located at the OP's existing facilities, in Plymouth
Meeting, Pennsylvania.
Kramont is expected to own 84 properties, substantially comprising neighborhood
and community shopping centers, encompassing approximately 11 million square
feet in 16 states with an asset base of approximately $800 million.
The merger will be accounted for as a purchase by CV Reit of Kranzco.
Accordingly, Kranzco's assets and liabilities will be recorded at their
estimated fair values based on the consideration given by CV Reit.

Operating Strategies
Our primary business objectives are to increase Funds From Operations (please
refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition for a definition of Funds From Operations) and to enhance
the value of our properties. It has been our operating strategy to achieve these
objectives through:
Efficient operation of our properties including active leasing and property
management, maintenance of high occupancy levels, increasing rental rates and
controlling operating and capital costs.
Acquisition of additional properties which satisfy our criteria, at favorable
prices, including properties requiring renovation or re-leasing.
Completion of strategic renovations and expansions to further maximize
operating cash flow.
Attainment of greater access to financing sources.
Assets
At December 31, 1999, the book value of our assets amounted to $257.8 million,
including $173.1 million in income producing real estate and $63.4 million in
real estate mortgage notes receivable. A description of our principal assets
follows:
Real Estate - Income Producing
The OP, directly or indirectly, owns 100% of twenty neighborhood or community
shopping centers and two office buildings, located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Florida, comprising 1,891,000 square feet. The properties are diverse in
size, ranging from 8,000 square feet to 202,000 square feet of gross leasable
area and average 86,000 square feet. The shopping centers generally attract
local area customers and are typically anchored by a supermarket, drugstore
and/or discount stores. The centers are smaller than regional malls and do not
depend on customers who travel long distances. The tenant base generally
concentrates on everyday purchases from local customers. Anchors attract
shoppers who then also often patronize the smaller shops. At December 31, 1999,
97.6% of our gross leasable area was leased to tenants under operating leases.
Substantially all of our income producing real estate is pledged as collateral
for borrowings.
The following table sets forth certain pertinent information, as of December 31,
1999, regarding these properties. Except for Century Plaza and the Century
Village Administration Building, which we built, each of the properties were
acquired by the OP on December 31, 1997, or during 1998 and 1999:

Mortgage Notes Receivable
At December 31, 1999, our mortgage notes receivable amounted to $63.4 million,
collateralized by first mortgages on the recreation facilities at the four
completed Century Village adult condominium communities in southeast Florida,
including an aggregate of $35 million due from H. Irwin Levy, Chairman of the
Board and a principal stockholder of our company, or Hilcoast Development Corp.,
of which Mr. Levy is Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and a
majority stockholder. As of December 31, 1999, none of the mortgage notes were
delinquent.
The notes provide for self-amortizing equal monthly principal and interest
payments in the aggregate amount of $9.5 million per annum, through January 2012
and $2.9 million thereafter through 2023, and bear interest at annual rates
principally ranging from 11% to 13.5%. The notes are pledged as collateral for
certain borrowings. Please refer to Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions regarding related party transactions with Hilcoast and Mr. Levy.
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
Self-Storage Warehouse Partnerships
We own 45%-50% general and limited partnership interests in three partnerships
whose principal assets consist of self-storage warehouses located in southeast
Florida, with an aggregate of approximately 2,800 units and 320,000 square feet,
managed by independent parties. Our partners in these partnerships are certain
members of the Granados family. We have no financial obligation with respect to
such partnerships except under state law, as general partners. We receive
monthly distributions from each of the partnerships based on cash flows.
Drexel
Effective December 31, 1997, we acquired a 95% economic interest in Drexel,
which for over 25 years has been engaged in the development, brokerage,
construction, leasing and management of real estate. In addition to managing our
properties, Drexel currently manages seven other properties located in
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. During 1999 and 1998, management contracts for 19
additional properties were terminated, primarily as a result of Drexel's
decision to concentrate mainly on management, leasing and renovation of our own
properties. It is not contemplated that Drexel will seek any additional third
party management contracts in the future. Currently, 99% of the voting stock of
Drexel is beneficially owned by Mr. Meshon and held in a voting trust and 100%
of the non-voting stock is owned by the OP. Mr. Meshon currently serves as
President of Drexel.

Other Real Estate
We own certain real estate acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure and held for
resale, consisting of three parcels of unimproved commercial land, totaling 38
acres located in southeast Florida, with a book value of $5.5 million at
December 31, 1999, net of a $2.4 million allowance for losses.
Industry Factors
Ownership of commercial real estate involves risks arising from changes in
economic conditions generally and in the commercial real estate market
specifically, as well as risks which result from property-specific factors such
as the failure or inability to make needed capital improvements, competition,
reductions in revenue arising from decreased occupancy or reductions in the
level of rents obtainable, and factors which increase the cost of operating,
financing and refinancing properties such as escalating interest rates and wage
rates, increased taxes, fuel costs and other operating expenses and casualties.
All of these kinds of risks can result in reduced net operating revenues
available for distribution. Our ability to manage the properties effectively
notwithstanding such risks and economic conditions will affect the funds
available for distribution.
The results of operations of our company also depend upon the availability of
suitable opportunities for investment and reinvestment of our funds and on the
yields available from time to time on real estate investments, which in turn
depend to a large extent on the type of investment involved, prevailing interest
rates, the nature and geographical location of the property, competition and
other factors, none of which can be predicted with certainty. Our competitors
for acceptable investments include insurance companies, pension funds, and other
REIT's which may have investment objectives similar to ours and some of which
may have greater financial resources than ours. We are not aware of statistics
which would allow us to determine our position with respect to all of our
competitors in the commercial real estate investment industry.
Employees
On December 31, 1999, we employed 71 persons, substantially all of whom were
employed by Drexel or a wholly owned subsidiary of Drexel.
Item 2. Properties
Please refer to Item 1. Business - Real Estate - Income Producing, Investments
in Unconsolidated Affiliates and Other Real Estate.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are subject to various claims and complaints relative to our business
activities. In our opinion, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not
have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

As of March 7, 2000 there were 7,966,621 shares of common stock outstanding and
approximately 1,700 holders of record.
Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Montgomery CV Realty Trust (the Trust), we
indirectly own 7,966,621 OP units (representing the sole general partnership
interest and 84.5% of the limited partnership interest in the OP). The holders
of substantially all of the remaining 15.5%, or 1,462,406 OP units, have the
right to require the OP to redeem their OP units for cash at any time. However,
upon a holder giving notice of the exercise of this right, the Trust has the
right to acquire such holder's OP units in exchange for cash or, if certain
conditions are satisfied, an equal number of shares of our common stock.
We expect to continue to qualify as a REIT. A corporation, which qualifies as a
REIT may, if it distributes at least 95% of ordinary taxable income (90%
effective in 2001) for a taxable year, deduct dividends paid to stockholders
with respect to such taxable year from taxable income.
A REIT is not required to distribute capital gain income but to the extent it
does not, it must pay the applicable capital gain income tax unless it has
ordinary losses to offset such capital gain income. We have historically
distributed to our stockholders capital gain income arising from principal
repayments on our mortgage notes receivable (please refer to Item 1. Business -
Mortgage Notes Receivable) which are being reported on the installment method
for tax purposes.

Net Income
1999 Compared to 1998
For the year ended December 31, 1999, net income was $7,247,000 or $.91 per
share compared to $15,850,000 or $1.99 per share for the same period of 1998.
Net income for 1998 includes a $2,347,000 gain from the sale of real estate, a
$7,041,000 deferred income tax benefit (please refer to Note 1 to Consolidated
Financial Statements) and $300,000 of non-recurring expenses, principally in
connection with the settlement of litigation. In addition, depreciation and
amortization increased by $1,371,000 in 1999 due to shopping center
acquisitions. Excluding these non-operational items, net income increased by
$1,856,000. The discussion below highlights the major components which caused
this increase.
<PAGE>
10
During 1999, rent revenue and operating expenses increased by $8,400,000 and
$2,437,000, respectively (a net rental income increase of $5,963,000), primarily
due to the acquisition of ten shopping centers since the beginning of 1998. The
increase also reflects improved operating results from income producing
properties owned as of December 31, 1997.
Interest income decreased by $846,000 during 1999, attributable to a reduction
in the average balance of mortgage notes receivable and cash. The reduction in
the average balance outstanding principally results from repayments by Hilcoast
of a line of credit and other notes in 1998. Those repayments as well as
available cash balances have generally been utilized to acquire shopping
centers. The Company's remaining mortgage notes receivable are long term and
require self-amortizing payments through 2023.
Interest expense increased by $3,388,000 in 1999 principally as a result of
increased borrowings to finance shopping center acquisitions.
General and administrative expenses increased by $75,000 during 1999 primarily
due to higher professional fees and performance related bonuses.
Equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates decreased by $309,000 principally
due to the decision by our management company (Drexel) to concentrate mainly on
management, leasing and renovation of our own income producing properties and
acquisitions of additional shopping centers. As a result, Drexel has terminated
various management contracts for properties owned by third parties.
Minority interests in income of OP decreased by $511,000 during 1999. The
decrease was due to a $2,073,000 reduction in income attributable to the OP
(which reflects the aforementioned $2,347,000 gain on sale of real estate in
1998) and a reduction in minority interests, due to redemptions, from an average
of 17.4% in 1998 to an average of 15.6% in 1999.
1998 Compared to 1997
Net income for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $15,850,000 or $1.99 per
share compared to $8,515,000 or $1.07 per share for 1997.
Net income for 1998 includes a $2,347,000 gain from the sale of real estate, a
$7,041,000 deferred income tax benefit and $300,000 of non-recurring expenses,
principally in connection with the settlement of litigation. In addition,
depreciation and amortization increased by $2,298,000 due to shopping center
acquisitions. Excluding these non-operational items, net income increased by
$545,000. The discussion below highlights the major components which caused this
increase.
During 1998, rent revenue, operating expenses and interest expense increased by
$14,452,000, $4,314,000 and $5,049,000, respectively, primarily due to the
acquisition of nine shopping centers and an office building on December 31, 1997
and seven additional shopping centers in 1998.
Interest income decreased by $1,758,000 during 1998, primarily attributable to
an approximately $11.2 million reduction in the average balance of our mortgage
notes receivable. These notes principally consisted of a line of credit and
certain other loans to Hilcoast, which were repaid during 1998. The average
interest rate on these notes approximated 10.9% and the repayments as well as a
substantial portion of our cash balances were generally utilized to acquire
shopping centers in 1998 or reinvested in lower yielding short-term investments
(averaging approximately 5% during 1998), pending the completion of certain
planned acquisitions.
<PAGE>
11
General and administrative expenses increased by $1,039,000 during 1998,
reflecting increases in personnel and other costs due to the 1997 acquisition,
and in legal fees primarily in connection with certain litigation which has been
settled.
Minority interests in income of OP amounted to $1,855,000, representing an
average of 17.4% of the income attributable to the OP. There were no minority
interests prior to December 31, 1997.
Funds From Operations (FFO)
FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts,
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 for the years presented (in
thousands):
1999 1998 1997
_______________________________
Net income ................................... $ 7,247 $ 15,850 $ 8,515
Deferred income tax benefit .................. -- (7,041) --
Depreciation and amortization of real property
(including unconsolidated affiliates)* ..... 3,576 2,391 573

Non-recurring items, principally
settlement of litigation ................... -- 252 --
________ ________ ________
FFO .......................................... $ 10,823 $ 9,535 $ 9,088
======== ======== ========
*Net of amounts attributable to minority interests.
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 certain non-recurring
items, such as the gain on the sale of real estate and deferred income tax
benefit, 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 may not be comparable to that reported by other REITs.

As of December 31, 1999, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents decreased to
$3.5 million from $3.8 million and $12 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
Net cash provided by operating activities, as reported in the Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows, increased to $11 million in 1999 from $9.9 million in
1998 and $8.9 million in 1997. These amounts generally reflect the OP's FFO and
net changes in other assets and liabilities.
<PAGE>
12
Net cash used by investing activities amounted to $1.4 million in 1999, and $6.8
million in 1998. In 1997, investing activities provided $7.8 million of net
cash. The 1999 amounts reflect $1.6 million of capital improvements and $1.2
million of cash required in connection with the acquisitions of three shopping
centers, partially offset by $1.6 million of collections on mortgage notes
receivable. The 1998 amounts principally consist of $21.4 million of cash
required in connection with the acquisitions of seven shopping centers and $2.1
million of capital improvements, partially offset by $12.7 million of net
collections on mortgage notes receivable and $4.2 million received from the sale
of real estate. The 1997 amounts principally consist of $7.2 million of net
collections on mortgage notes receivable and the maturity of $6.4 million of
short-term investments, partially offset by $5.6 million of cash required in
connection with the acquisition of nine shopping centers and an office building.
Net cash used in financing activities decreased to $9.9 million in 1999 from
$11.2 million in 1998 and $11.4 million in 1997. In each of the three years,
cash dividends declared amounted to $1.16 per share, or $9.2 million. The 1999
amounts also include cash distributions of $1.7 million to minority interests,
partially offset by $1.6 million of net proceeds from borrowings. The 1998
amounts include cash distributions of $1.5 million to minority interests and
$3.7 million for the redemption of approximately 300,000 OP units, partially
offset by $3.2 million of net borrowings. The 1997 amounts include $2.2 million
of repayments of borrowings. There were no minority interests prior to 1998.
Borrowings
At December 31, 1999, our borrowings increased to $156.3 million from $121.9
million at December 31, 1998. The $34.4 million increase included $32.1 million
borrowed under our line of credit (see below) to finance three shopping center
acquisitions in 1999 and $5.2 million in connection with refinancings. Scheduled
principal payments over the next five years are $117 million with $39.3 million
due thereafter.
Our borrowings are collateralized by a substantial portion of our income
producing real estate and our mortgage notes receivable. We expect to refinance
certain of these borrowings, at or prior to maturity, through new mortgage loans
on our real estate. 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.
At December 31, 1999, borrowings consisted of $106.5 million of fixed rate
indebtedness, with a weighted average interest rate of 7.70% and $49.8 million
of variable rate indebtedness, principally under our line of credit, with a
weighted average interest rate of 8.23%. At December 31, 1998, our fixed rate
indebtedness was $105 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 7.97%
and our variable rate indebtedness was $16.9 million with a weighted average
interest rate of 7.37%. Continued interest rate increases on our variable rate
indebtedness could have an adverse effect on our future operating results and
cash flow.
Under our three-year non-revolving line of credit, we can borrow up to $100
million. 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
through March 31, 2000 and must be repaid by certain dates during the twelve
months ended March 31, 2001. Additional provisions include a 1% commitment fee
(which has been paid), 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. As of December 31, 1999, the unused facility amounted to
$51 million of which $10.3 million was available to be borrowed based on
collateral already pledged under the line of credit. We are currently
negotiating an extension of our line of credit and we expect to be able to
extend the dates through which advances may be drawn and repaid. There is no
assurance, however, that we will be successful in doing so. We have an
additional $1.2 million available principally under an unsecured credit
facility.
<PAGE>
13
Capital Resources
Our operating funds are generated from rent revenue from income producing
properties and, to a much lesser extent, interest income on our mortgage notes
receivable. 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 refinancing,
scheduled principal repayments on our mortgage notes receivable, sales of
non-strategic other real estate, our line of credit and/or potential debt or
equity financing in the public or private markets.
Acquisitions
During 1999, we completed the acquisition of three shopping centers for an
aggregate purchase price of $33.3 million, including transaction costs,
substantially all of which was financed by mortgage debt. In connection with one
of the acquisitions, we were required to deposit an additional $1 million with
the lender for future capital improvements.
During 1998, we acquired seven shopping centers for purchase prices aggregating
$74.6 million, including transaction costs, which consisted of $21.4 million of
cash and the incurrence or assumption of $53.2 million of liabilities,
principally mortgage debt.
On December 31, 1997, we completed the acquisition of nine shopping centers and
an office building and a 95% economic interest in Drexel. The purchase price
amounted to $61.7 million (net of cash acquired), consisting of 1,787,010 OP
units, valued at $21.2 million; the assumption of $34.9 million of liabilities,
principally mortgage debt; and, cash in the amount of $5.6 million, including
transaction costs.
Our policy has been 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
us to pay a regular quarterly dividend of at least 29 cents per share to our
stockholders. As of December 31, 1999, there were 1,462,406 OP units held by
minority interests.
As discussed under Item 1. Business - Recent Development - Proposed Merger, on
December 10, 1999, we signed a definitive merger agreement and reorganization
plan with Kranzco to merge our operations and create Kramont. Terms of the
merger call for common shareholders of both companies to each receive one share
of Kramont common stock for each outstanding share of CV Reit and Kranzco common
stock on a tax-free basis. The merger agreement is subject to approval by
shareholders of both companies and certain other conditions.
Mr. Meshon will assume the same titles and responsibilities at the newly created
Kramont and our designees will hold the majority of the board seats. Corporate
headquarters will be located at the OP's existing facilities, in Plymouth
Meeting, Pennsylvania.
Kramont is expected to own 84 properties, substantially comprising neighborhood
and community shopping centers, encompassing approximately 11 million square
feet in 16 states with an asset base of approximately $800 million.
We believe the merger will provide benefits to our shareholders. However, there
may be certain disadvantages, including but not limited to the following:
<PAGE>
14
If the merger is completed, certain common stock dividend protections that
currently exist in our certificate of incorporation and by laws will be
terminated. Our common shareholders are currently not subject to the rights of
any preferred shareholders. Upon completion of the merger, the rights of our
common shareholders will be subject to the rights of Kramont's preferred
shareholders. In addition, certain holders of Kranzco preferred shares will have
appraisal rights in connection with the merger. Assertion of appraisal rights by
a significant number of those holders may have a material adverse effect on
Kramont's cash flow. Kramont may be required to incur costs in connection with
obtaining consents from lenders. The inability to obtain certain material
consents may have a material adverse effect on Kramont's cash flow. Kramont will
have operations in a number of different states. There is no assurance that
costs, management's time and effort, or other factors associated with the
integration of our company and Kranzco would not adversely affect future
combined results of operations or the benefits of expected cost savings.
In the event the merger is terminated, depending on the reason for such
termination, we may be required to pay Kranzco a break-up fee of $5 million or
an expense fee of up to $1.5 million or both. The obligation to pay such fees
may deter others from offering to engage in a different transaction with us in
the event the merger is not consummated.
Inflation
During recent years, the rate of inflation has remained at a low level and had
minimal impact on our operating results.
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 tenants' 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 referred to as 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.
We have not experienced any material disruption in our business or operations as
a result of Y2K issues. However, there is no assurance that we will not
experience interruptions in the future.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No.133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 requires companies to recognize all
derivative contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to
measure them at fair value. SFAS 133 was to become effective for periods
beginning after June 15, 1999; however, SFAS 133 has been amended by SFAS 137,
which delayed the effective date to periods beginning after June 15, 2000. The
adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on our
financial statements or disclosures.
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-K, 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-K. 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-K and in other reports we filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors of CV Reit, Inc.
West Palm Beach, Florida
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CV Reit, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1999. We have also audited the schedules
listed in the accompanying index. These financial statements and the schedules
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and the schedules 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 and schedules are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CV Reit, Inc. and
subsidiaries at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Also, in our opinion, the schedules present fairly, in all material respects,
the information set forth therein.

CV REIT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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 mortgage notes
receivable. 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 nine shopping centers and an office
building, and a 95% economic interest in Drexel Realty, Inc. ("Drexel"), a real
estate management and leasing company (Note 2) and (2) CV Reit and its
subsidiaries transferred substantially all of their net assets (or the economic
benefit) to the OP. As a result, CV Reit indirectly currently owns 84.5% of the
OP, is the OP's sole general partner and operates as a self-administered,
self-managed equity REIT. As of December 31, 1999, the OP owned twenty
neighborhood or community shopping centers and two office buildings, located in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Florida, comprising approximately $1.9 million
square feet (Note 3).
Principles of Consolidation
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 of, 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.
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 amounts 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 results could differ from those estimates.
Real Estate - Income Producing ("Real Estate")
Real Estate is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, and is subject
to operating leases. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of
the assets (7 to 40 years) on the straight-line method.
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including its Real Estate, for
impairment based on the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. If a
long-lived asset is identified as impaired, the value of the asset must be
reduced to its fair value.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the
leases. Certain leases provide for reimbursement to the Company of the tenants'
share of common area maintenance costs, insurance and real estate taxes, which
are recorded on the accrual basis.
<PAGE>
20
Mortgage Notes Receivable, Other Real Estate and Allowance For Losses
Mortgage notes receivable are carried at the lower of cost or estimated net
realizable value. Accrual of interest is discontinued when management believes,
after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that
timely collection is doubtful.
Other real estate principally consists of three parcels of unimproved commercial
land, totaling 38 acres located in southeast Florida, acquired by deed in lieu
of foreclosure and held for resale (Note 3). These properties are carried at the
lower of cost or fair value less selling costs. Carrying costs and subsequent
declines in net realizable value are charged to operations as incurred.
The allowance for losses is established through a provision charged to
operations based upon an evaluation by management of its mortgage notes
receivable and other real estate. In evaluating possible losses, management
takes into consideration appropriate information which may include the
borrower's cash flow projections, historical operating results and financial
strength, pending sales, adverse conditions that may affect the borrower's
ability to repay, appraisals and current economic conditions.
Dividends and Income Taxes
The Company has elected to qualify as a REIT under the provisions of Section
856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, the Company is currently
required to distribute at least 95% of its ordinary taxable income to
stockholders (90% effective in 2001) and may deduct such distributions from
taxable income. A REIT is not required to distribute capital gain income but to
the extent it does not, it must pay the applicable capital gain income tax
unless it has ordinary losses to offset such capital gain income.
The federal income tax characteristics of dividends paid by the Company
consisted of:

Ordinary income 88.3% 65.4% 89.1%
Capital gain distribution 11.7% 34.6% 10.9%
The Company accounts for income taxes based upon SFAS No.109 "Accounting for
Income Taxes", which requires, among other things, a liability approach to
calculating deferred income taxes
As a result of the acquisitions described in Note 2 and the OP structure, the
Company does not expect to be subject to federal income taxes in the future as
it intends to distribute ordinary and capital gain income. Accordingly, during
1998, the Company reversed the existing net deferred tax liability, which arose
from sales reported on the installment method for income tax purposes, and
recorded a deferred tax benefit of $7,041,000.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company has aggregate net operating loss
carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $15.7 million, expiring $7.1
million in 2007 and $8.6 million in 2006
Net Income Per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is computed using net income divided by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per
common share includes the effect of potentially dilutive securities. During the
years presented, the Company had no dilutive securities since the exercise price
of all outstanding options exceeded the average market price of the Company's
common stock for the year, accordingly, basic and diluted net income per share
are identical.

Statements of Cash Flows
For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid
investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Reclassifications
Certain 1998 and 1997 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1999
financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on
operating results previously reported.
New Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No.133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 requires companies to recognize all
derivative contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to
measure them at fair value. SFAS 133 was to become effective for periods
beginning after June 15, 1999; however, SFAS 133 has been amended by SFAS 137,
which delayed the effective date to periods beginning after June 15, 2000. The
adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's financial statements or disclosures.
(2) Acquisitions
During 1999, the OP purchased three shopping centers, aggregating 324,000 square
feet, located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The aggregate purchase prices
amounted to $33.3 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.
During 1998, the OP purchased seven shopping centers, aggregating 796,000 square
feet, located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The aggregate purchase prices
amounted to $74.6 million, including transaction costs, which consisted of $21.4
million of cash and the incurrence or assumption of $53.2 million of
liabilities, principally mortgage debt.
On December 31, 1997, the OP completed the acquisition of nine shopping centers
and an office building, located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, from two
separate groups, the Montgomery Parties and the Levy Parties (Note 8), and a 95%
economic interest in Drexel from Louis P. Meshon, Sr. Effective December 31,
1997, Mr. Meshon became President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of CV
Reit. The purchase price amounted to $61.7 million (net of cash acquired),
consisting of 1,787,010 OP units issued to the sellers, valued at $11.88 per OP
unit, or $21.2 million, based on the closing price of the Company's common stock
(into which the OP units were redeemable - Note 12) on April 28, 1997, the date
the acquisition was publicly announced; the assumption of $34.9 million of
liabilities, principally mortgage indebtedness; and, cash in the amount of $5.6
million, including transaction costs.
All of the acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method;
accordingly, the operating results of the net assets acquired are included in
the consolidated financial statements from their respective purchase dates.
The following unaudited proforma data summarizes the consolidated results of
operations for the years indicated as if the 1999 acquisitions had occurred on
January 1, 1998. The proforma results do not purport to be indicative of the
results of operations which would have actually been reported had the
acquisitions been consummated on those dates, or which may be reported in the
future (in thousands, except per share data):

(3) Recent Developments
Proposed Merger
On December 10, 1999, the Company signed a definitive merger agreement and
reorganization plan with Kranzco Realty Trust ("Kranzco"), a shopping center
REIT, to merge operations and create a new community shopping center UPREIT to
be called Kramont Realty Trust ("Kramont"). Terms of the merger call for common
shareholders of both companies to each receive one share of Kramont common stock
for each outstanding share of CV Reit and Kranzco common stock on a tax-free
basis. The merger agreement is subject to approval by shareholders of both
companies and certain other conditions.
The Company's President and Chief Executive Officer will assume the same titles
and responsibilities at the newly created Kramont with the Company's designees
holding the majority of the board seats. Corporate headquarters will be located
at the OP's existing facilities, in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania.
Kramont is expected to own 84 properties, substantially comprising neighborhood
and community shopping centers, encompassing approximately 11 million square
feet in 16 states with an asset base of approximately $800 million.
The merger will be accounted for as a purchase by the Company of Kranzco.
Accordingly, Kransco's assets and liabilities will be reocrded at their
estimated fair values based on consideration given by the Company.

(b) Real Estate is leased to tenants under leases expiring at various dates
through 2017, some of which contain renewal options of up to 30 years. Most of
the leases require fixed base rentals payable monthly in advance; additional
rental based on reimbursements of common area maintenance, insurance and real
estate taxes and, in some leases, based on a percentage of tenants' sales; and,
rent increases based on cost-of-living indexes. During 1999 and 1998, the
Company recognized income from reimbursements of common area maintenance,
insurance, real estate taxes and percentage rent of $6.5 million and $4.4
million, respectively. As of December 31, 1999, future minimum rental income
under noncancellable operating leases, excluding rentals from the exercise of
renewal options, is as follows (in thousands):

estate, including reimbursement of equity advances, and require certain
performance covenants. As of December 31, 1999, the unused facility amounted to
approximately $51 million of which $10.3 million was available to be borrowed
based on collateral already pledged under the Line of Credit.

(7) Contingencies
The Company is subject to various claims and complaints relative to its business
activities. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position.
(8) Related Party Transactions
Hilcoast/H. Irwin Levy ("Mr. Levy")
(a) On July 31, 1992, Hilcoast, an affiliate of the Company on that date,
acquired certain assets from a previous borrower of the Company, subject to the
borrower's indebtedness to the Company, principally consisting of the Hilcoast
Recreation Note (Note 5), which as of December 31, 1999, had an outstanding
balance of $24.7 million. Mr. Levy, Chairman of the Board and a principal
stockholder of the Company, is the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive
Officer and a majority stockholder of Hilcoast. During 1999, 1998 and 1997, the
Company recognized interest income of $2.7 million, $3.1 million and $4.3
million, respectively, from Hilcoast.
(b) Effective July 31, 1992, the Company and Hilcoast entered into a consulting
and advisory agreement under which Hilcoast provides certain investment
advisory, consulting and administrative services to the Company, excluding
matters related to the Hilcoast Recreation Note. The agreement provides for the
payment of $10,000 per month to Hilcoast, plus reimbursement for reasonable out
of pocket expenses. The agreement may be terminated by Hilcoast upon 180 days
notice and by the Company upon 30 days notice. During 1999, 1998 and 1997, the
Company paid $115,000, $110,000 and $120,000, respectively, to Hilcoast under
this agreement, plus expense reimbursement.
(c) Mr. Levy owns the recreation facilities at a Century Village community,
acquired from the Company in 1981, which is collateral for one of the Company's
Recreation Notes, which had an outstanding balance of $10.3 million at December
31, 1999 (Note 5). The note bears interest at 13.25%, requires self-amortizing
equal monthly payments of principal and interest in the aggregate amount of $1.7
million per annum through 2011 and may not be prepaid. During 1999, 1998 and
1997, the Company recognized interest income of $1.4 million, $1.4 million and

2) were acquired from the Levy Parties (Mr. Levy and members of his family) in
exchange for 390,717 OP units (valued at approximately $4.6 million), including
78,149 OP units (valued at approximately $900,000) issued to Mr. Levy. The

(9) Major Tenants and Borrowers
During 1999, there were no tenants or borrowers who accounted for 10% or more of
the Company's revenues. During 1998, interest income from one borrower
(Hilcoast) provided 12% of total revenues. During 1997, interest income from

using the current rates at which similar loans would be made with similar credit
ratings and for the same remaining maturities.
Borrowings - Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar
terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of the
Company's borrowings.
(11) Stockholders' Equity
Stock Options
The Company applies APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees",
and related interpretations in accounting for its three stock option plans - the
Montgomery CV Trust Executive Stock Option Plan (the "CV Plan"), the Drexel
Realty, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "Drexel Plan") and the CV Reit, Inc.
Non-Employee Director 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan").
Under the CV Plan, the Drexel Plan and the Director Plan, qualified and
nonqualified stock options to purchase up to 150,000 shares, 400,000 shares and
150,000 shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock may be granted to
certain executives, employees and non-employee directors. The maximum term of
the options granted under each of the plans is ten years.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.123 (SFAS 123), "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation", requires the Company to provide pro forma information
regarding net income and net income per common share as if compensation cost for
stock options granted under the plans, if applicable, had been determined in
accordance with the fair value based method prescribed in SFAS 123.
The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions used for grants: expected lives of ten years; dividend yield of
8.51%, volatility at 46%, risk free interest rate of 5.63% for 1999 and dividend
yield of 8.44%, volatility at 46%, risk free interest rate of 5.71% for 1998.

Redemption Rights
Holders of the 1,462,406 OP units at December 31, 1999 have the right to require
the OP to redeem their OP units at any time. However, upon a holder giving
notice of the exercise of this right, the Company has the right to acquire such
holder's OP units in exchange for cash or, if certain conditions are satisfied,
an equal number of shares of the Company's common stock.
During 1999, the OP redeemed 43,018 OP units for $546,000 in cash, resulting in
an increase in CV Reit's indirect ownership of the OP from 84.2% to 84.5%.
During 1998, the OP redeemed 302,552 OP units for $3.7 million in cash,
resulting in an increase in CV Reit's indirect ownership of the OP from 81.7% to
84.2%.
(12) Segment Reporting

Inc. Non-Employee Director 1998 Stock Option Plan, non-employee directors,

shares of our common stock and the Board has the authority to grant, in its sole
discretion, a stock option to purchase up to 20,000 shares of our common stock
on the date any individual first commences service as a non-employee director.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
We have no Compensation Committee. The Chief Executive Officer's salary is based
upon his Employment Agreement, as discussed below. Other executive salary
decisions are determined in an annual review based upon recommendations of the
Chief Executive Officer and/or our financial consultants and approved by the
Chairman of the Board.
Board Compensation Report
Since our Board does not have a Compensation Committee, the entire Board has
provided the following Compensation Report:
Executive Compensation Policy - Our overall compensation philosophy is to
attract and retain quality talent, which is critical to our short-term and
long-term success, and to create a mutuality of interest between executive
officers and stockholders through compensation structures that share the rewards
and risks of strategic decision making.
We examine market compensation levels and trends observed in the labor market.
Market information is used as a frame of reference for annual salary adjustments
and starting salary offers. Executive salary decisions are generally determined
in an annual review of each individual's performance, decision-making
responsibilities, experience and team-building skills. In certain instances,
these reviews include recommendations by our financial consultants.
<PAGE>
39
Mr. Meshon's compensation arrangement has been established under an
Employment Agreement, dated December 31, 1997 (see below).
Base Compensation - Our approach to base compensation is to offer competitive
salaries in accordance with market practices prevalent in our geographical
areas. In addition, effective in 1999, we are sponsoring a 401(k) - retirement
plan which covers substantially all employees meeting certain minimum age and
service requirements. The plan provides for employer contributions equal to 50%
of amounts contributed by the employee. The employer contributions are limited
to 1.5% of the employee's salary. Mr. Meshon's Employment Agreement provides for
a base salary of $285,000, subject to increases at the sole discretion of the
Trust, in the event that there is a substantial increase in the scope of his
responsibilities, and annually commencing in December 2000. Pursuant to his
Employment Agreement, in the event we do not pay a quarterly dividend to
stockholders of at least $.29 per common share, under certain circumstances, Mr.
Meshon's base salary may be reduced by 50% and remain at such reduced level
until we have paid quarterly dividends of at least $.29 per common share for
four consecutive quarters. In that event, no performance bonus (see below) shall
be paid doing the period for which such decrease has been in effect.
Bonus Compensation - Under his Employment Agreement, Mr. Meshon is entitled to
an annual performance bonus generally equal to 5% of the annual improvement in
our FFO, as determined by our independent auditors. In addition, Mr. Meshon is
entitled to receive a bonus, based upon a formula set forth in his Employment
Agreement, in the event fees are paid by third parties to Drexel in connection
with the termination, on or before December 31, 2000, of certain existing
management and leasing agreements between those third parties and Drexel. No
bonuses have been paid to Mr. Meshon other than the 1998 performance bonus of
$17,829, which was paid in April 1999. The 1999 performance bonus of $97,027 is
expected to be paid in March 2000.
We generally reward our other executive officers with annual bonuses based on
performance on specific projects or transactions, taking into account the
overall performance of our company. Input from our financial consultants and the
Chief Executive Officer is considered when establishing bonuses for other
executive officers. A balance is made between overall corporate performance and
performance of the specific areas under a participant's direct control. This
balance supports the accomplishment of overall objectives and rewards individual
contributions and tasks assigned to our executives.
Equity-Based Compensation - Stock options provide additional incentives to key
employees to maximize shareholder value. Options generally vest over specified
periods to encourage continued employment. In accordance with this philosophy,
on December 31, 1997, we adopted the Montgomery CV Trust Executive Stock Option
Plan which provides for the issuance to certain executives of options to
purchase a maximum of 150,000 shares of common stock, all of which were granted
to Mr. Meshon on December 31, 1997. Mr. Meshon's options are exercisable in
equal annual installments of 30,000 shares, commencing on December 31, 1998.
Unexercisable options are subject to forfeiture under certain circumstances.
Employment Agreement - As discussed above, effective December 31, 1997, we
entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Meshon pursuant to which Mr.
Meshon serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and
President and Chief Operating Officer of the Trust for five years, with an
automatic extension provision except under certain circumstances. In addition to
the compensation provisions discussed above, if, during the term of the
Employment Agreement, Mr. Meshon's employment is terminated for Cause, as
defined, or Mr. Meshon resigns without Good Reason, as defined, all or a portion
of 227,577 OP Units owned by Mr. Meshon was to be transferred to the Trust. The
number of OP Units subject to transfer is being reduced on a pro rata basis over
five years. Mr. Meshon acquired those OP Units in exchange for his shares of
Drexel on December 31, 1997.
<PAGE>
40
In the event of Mr. Meshon's death or disability, we are required to make
severance payments for one year equal to Mr. Meshon's base salary, plus certain
fringe benefits in the event of disability. In the event Mr. Meshon terminates
his employment for Good Reason, as defined, or after the occurrence of a
Significant Event, as defined (which includes a change in control and a transfer
of substantially all our assets and business), we are required to pay severance
benefits equal to the greater of the aggregate sum of all compensation
(including bonuses based on historical averages) due to Mr. Meshon during the
remaining term of his Employment Agreement, or 199% of Mr. Meshon's annual
salary for the year prior to termination. In addition, Mr. Meshon would be
entitled to receive certain fringe benefits for up to three years.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
H. Irwin Levy/Hilcoast
During December 1981 and January 1982, we sold each of the recreation facilities
at the Century Villages in West Palm Beach, Deerfield Beach and Boca Raton in
separate transactions to different purchasers, including Mr. Levy, for sales
prices based upon independent appraisals. We sold the recreation facilities at
Boca Raton to Mr. Levy for $18 million, subject to a lease to a corporation
currently owned by Mr. Levy. (The annual net rental to Mr. Levy on that lease is
$2.2 million.) At closing, Mr. Levy issued a 30-year non-recourse promissory
note to our company in the principal amount of $12.5 million which bears
interest at 13.25% per annum and may not be prepaid. At December 31, 1999, the
outstanding balance on this note was $10.3 million. During 1999, we recognized
$1.4 million in interest income on this note.
Since 1990, companies owned by Mr. Levy and/or certain members of his family
have leased, managed and operated the recreation facilities at the Century
Villages in West Palm Beach, Deerfield Beach and Boca Raton, which are
collateral for certain notes we hold with an outstanding balance of $38.7
million (including the $10.3 million discussed above) at December 31, 1999.
During 1999, we leased approximately 2,500 square feet of office space to those
companies on a month-to-month basis for $2,100 per month, plus an allocation of
utility expenses.
Mr. Levy is Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and a majority
stockholder of Hilcoast which as of December 31, 1999, owed us $24.7 million,
consisting of an 11% mortgage note collateralized by first mortgages on the
recreation facilities at the Century Village at Pembroke Pines, Florida adult
condominium project. The Hilcoast note requires equal monthly payments of
principal and interest aggregating approximately $2.9 million per annum through
2023 and may not be prepaid by Hilcoast without a prepayment penalty. During
1999, we recognized $2.7 million in interest income from Hilcoast on the
Hilcoast note.
Effective July 31, 1992, we entered into a consulting and advisory agreement
under which Hilcoast provides certain investment advisory, consulting and
administrative services to our company, excluding matters related to the
Hilcoast note. The agreement provides for the payment of $10,000 per month to
Hilcoast, plus reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The
agreement may be terminated by Hilcoast upon 180 days notice and by our company
upon 30 days notice. During 1999, we paid $115,000 under this agreement, plus
expense reimbursement.
On December 31, 1997, the OP acquired nine shopping centers and an office
building for a purchase price of approximately $61.7 million. Two of the
shopping centers were acquired from Mr. Levy and members of his family in
exchange for 390,717 OP Units (valued at approximately $4.6 million), including
78,149 OP Units (valued at approximately $900,000) issued to Mr. Levy. The
economic basis used to determine the acquisition price was the same as that used
for the other properties acquired by the OP on that date.
Stanley S. Cohen
Mr. Cohen is a partner and a member of the Executive Committee of the law
firm of Fox, Rothschild, O'Brien & Frankel, LLP. During 1999, we paid
$487,487 to that firm for legal services.
