(a)  To reflect the registrant's potential sales of nine additional shopping 
     malls and two office buildings which are under contract and the sale of an 
     office building and shopping center in the first quarter of 1999. The sale
     of the office building and shopping center resulted in gross proceeds of
     $23.4 million which represents 3% of the registrant's December 31, 1998
     total assets. The net proceeds after closing costs, mortgage prepayment 
     fees and mortgage prepayments would be $113.5 million for both consummated 
     asset sales and the properties under contract to sell. For the purposes 
     of the historical balance sheet, the remaining proceeds are used to repay 
     the $90 million Note Payable $12.5 million Senior Notes and $11.0 million
