                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

                                   ----------


1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      The financial statements reflect all adjustments of a recurring nature
      which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation
      of the financial statements. No adjustments were necessary which were not
      of a recurring nature. These financial statements should be read in
      conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying footnotes
      included in the Partnership's December 31, 1996 Form 10-K.

      ORGANIZATION

      Excel Properties, Ltd. was formed in the State of California on September
      19, 1985, for the purpose of, but not limited to, acquiring and operating
      commercial real estate.

      REAL ESTATE

      Land and buildings are recorded at cost. Buildings are depreciated using
      the straight-line method over the tax life of 31.5 years. The tax life
      does not differ materially from the economic useful life. Expenditures for
      maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant
      renovations are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation
      of real estate are removed from the accounts upon disposition. Gains and
      losses arising from the dispositions are reported as income or expense.

      CASH DEPOSITS

      At June 30, 1997, the carrying amount of the Partnership's cash deposits
      total $411,428. The bank balances are $446,464 of which $200,000 is
      covered by federal depository insurance.

      STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS - SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE

      There was no interest or taxes paid for the six months ended June 30, 1997
      or 1996. Also, the Partnership had no noncash investing or financing
      transactions for the six months ended June 30, 1997 or 1996.

      INCOME TAXES

      The Partnership is not liable for payment of any income taxes because as a
      partnership, it is not subject to income taxes. The tax effects of its
      activities accrue directly to the partners.

      ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

      All net accounts receivable are deemed to be collectible within the next
      12 months.

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

      FINANCIAL STATEMENT 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 reported period. Actual results could differ from those
      estimates.


2.    FEES PAID TO GENERAL PARTNER

      The Partnership has paid the General Partner or its affiliates the
      following fees for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996:

4.    MINIMUM FUTURE RENTALS

      The Partnership leases single-tenant buildings to tenants under
      noncancellable operating leases requiring the greater of fixed or
      percentage rents. The leases are triple-net, requiring the tenant to pay
      all expenses of operating the property such as insurance, property taxes,
      repairs and utilities.

      Minimum future rental revenue for the next five years for the commercial
      real estate currently owned and subject to noncancellable operating leases
      is as follows:

      Chicken and Wendy's. The sale price for the two buildings, which were sold
      together, was $925,000 less $23,813 in selling expenses. The Partnership

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND 
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NATURE OF BUSINESS

Excel Properties, Ltd., a California limited partnership (the "Partnership"),
was organized to purchase commercial real estate properties for cash and to hold
these assets for long-term investment. The Partnership currently owns twenty
properties. The general partners of the Partnership are Excel Realty Trust,
Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Gary B. Sabin, an individual. The Partnership
was formed on September 19, 1985, and will continue in existence until December
31, 2015, unless dissolved earlier under certain circumstances.

Properties that have been acquired by the Partnership are subject to long-term
triple-net leases. Such leases require the lessee to pay the prescribed minimum
rental plus all costs and expenses associated with the operations and
maintenance of the property. These expenses include real property taxes,
property insurance, repairs and maintenance and similar expenses, the net effect
being that, under normal circumstances, no expenses will offset the rental
payment. Most of the leases also provide some form of inflation hedge which
calls for the minimum rent to be increased, based upon adjustments in the
consumer price index, fixed rent escalation, or by receipt of a percentage of
the gross sales of the tenant.

Properties have been acquired free and clear of liens and encumbrances. The
Partnership may seek to finance one or more of the properties and distribute the
financing proceeds to the partners, but only if the financing proceeds equal or
exceed 100% of the Partnership's capital invested in the property or properties
(including a prorata amount of the Partnership's public offering unit selling
commissions and organization expenses). To date, no properties owned by the
Partnership have been the subject of any mortgage financing, therefore, at the
present time, all properties remain free and clear from any mortgage loan, lien
or encumbrance.

The principal investment objectives of the Partnership are to provide to its
limited partners: (1) preservation, protection and eventual return of the
investment, (2) distributions of cash from operations including property sales,
some of which may be a return of capital for tax purposes rather than taxable
income, (3) distributions of cash from financing the properties, and (4)
realization of long-term appreciation in value of the properties.

The general partners have selected properties they believe meet certain minimum
investment standards and that are most likely to accomplish the investment
objectives of the Partnership. Properties were acquired through arms-length
negotiations with third parties.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As the Partnership has $411,428 at June 30, 1997, with no debt on any of the
properties it owns, management believes that the Partnership liquidity remains
in a good position. In July 1997, the Partnership distributed accumulated cash
to the partners in the amount of $170,000. The Partnership has no debt and
approximately $62,000 a month from rental revenue, net of bad debts. Management
anticipates that rental revenue should be enough to cover any Partnership
expenses. Also, management does not expect the Partnership to incur any
significant operational expenses as the Partnership properties are subject to
triple-net leases.

Management anticipates that the Partnership's primary source of cash in 1997
will continue to come from rental of the real estate properties currently owned.
The Partnership may also, from time to time, sell certain properties which would
provide cash for distribution. Management anticipates that rental revenue will
be sufficient to cover the operating expenses of the Partnership and allow for
cash distributions to be made to the limited partners. The Partnership has the
policy of paying quarterly distributions to the limited partners of the actual
cash earned by the Partnership in the preceding quarter. Therefore, if expenses
were to increase or revenue were to decrease, the Partnership would decrease the
quarterly distributions to the limited partners. Management expects that the
liquidity of the Partnership will change if properties are sold and/or excess
cash is distributed to the unit holders (partners).

<PAGE>   11
The cash of the Partnership decreased by $981,939 at June 30, 1997 when compared
to December 31, 1996. This decrease was partly due to payments of $1,400,001 in
April 1997 and $1,000,000 in January 1997 in distributions to the partners.
Company received approximately $963,968 from deposits related to a property sold
in 1996 for which it received cash in 1997.

The Partnership has purchased its properties for all cash. The Partnership may
finance one or more of its existing properties if, among other conditions: (1)
the property is held for at least two years (all properties have been owned by
the Partnership for more than two years), (2) the financing proceeds equal or
exceed the Partnership's investment in the property, and (3) the Partnership
distributes the financing proceeds to the partners. To date, the Partnership has
not leveraged any of its properties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto.

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 1997 to the three months ended
June 30, 1996

Base rent decreased $31,299 or 13% from the previous year. During 1996, four
properties were sold which accounted for approximately $40,585 of rents in the
second quarter of 1996.

Operating expenses decreased by $14,871 from the three months ended June 30,
1996 to the three months ended June 30, 1997. The net decrease was primarily due
to the $37,583 decrease in bad debt expense. Bad debt expense is from the
Ponderosa Restaurant, who has vacated one of its premises and has not paid rent
in accordance with the lease, and Toddle House, a tenant in bankruptcy. The
decrease in bad debts was due to normal bad debt reserves for Ponderosa
Restaurant and Toddle House in 1997 versus additional reserves set up in 1996
for outstanding amounts related to Ponderosa Restaurant which stopped paying
rents. In addition, reserves for finance charges were made in 1996, no finance
charges have been made in 1997. Accounting and legal expenses increased $24,394
relating to legal fees for the Ponderosa Restaurant. Other expenses and other
income varied very little between the two accounting periods, except
depreciation expense which decreased $16,428 due to the sale of properties in
1996.

Interest income decreased $23,023 or 43% over 1996 due to finance charges to
Ponderosa Restaurant and Toddle House, charged in 1996 but not in 1997, and
larger cash balances in 1996 than 1997 from proceeds relating to property sales
before the funds were distributed to the partners.

Net income decreased $246,214 due largely to the sale of two properties in 1996.
In 1996, the company recognized a gain of $206,761. There were no property sales
in the three months ended June 30, 1997.

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 1997 to the six months ended June
30, 1996

Base rent decreased $84,288 or 16% from the previous year. During 1996, four
properties were sold which accounted for approximately $96,769 of rents in the
first six months of 1996.

Operating expenses increased by $12,777 from the six months ended June 30, 1996
to the six months ended June 30, 1997. The net increase was primarily due to the
$20,679 increase in accounting and legal expense. The partnership paid $35,366
in legal fees relating to Ponderosa Restaurant. Bad debt expense relating to the
Ponderosa Restaurant and Toddle House totaled $91,819. Other expenses and other
income varied very little between the two accounting periods, except
depreciation expense which decreased $19,073 due to the sale of properties in
1996.

In 1996, the company recognized a gain of $206,761 relating to the sale of two
properties. There were no property sales in the six months ended June 30, 1997.

Management does not expect inflation to significantly impact the operations of
the Partnership due to the structure of its investment portfolio. The leases all
provide a minimum rental which the lessee is obligated to pay. Additionally,
most leases contain some form of inflation hedge which provides for the rent to
be increased. The rent increases may be in the form of scheduled fixed minimum
rent increases, Consumer Price Index adjustments, or by participating in

a percentage of the gross sales volume of the tenant. Since the triple-net
leases require the lessees to pay for all property operating expenses, the net
effect is that the income should increase as operating expenses increase due to
inflation.

CERTAIN CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this Form 10-Q that are not historical fact and 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 of the Partnership to be materially different from historical results or
from any results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such
risk, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, the
following risks:

Economic Performance and Value of Properties Dependent on Many Factors. Real
property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. The economic
performance and values of real estate can be affected by many factors, including
changes in the national, regional and local economic climates, local conditions
such as an oversupply of space or reductions in demand for real estate in the
area, the attractiveness of the properties to tenants, competition from other
available space, the ability of the owner to provide adequate maintenance and
insurance and increased operating costs.

Dependence on Rental Revenue from Real Property. Since substantially all of the
Partnership's income is derived from rental revenue from real property, the
Partnership's income and funds for distribution would be adversely affected if a
significant number of the Partnership's tenants were unable to meet their
obligations to the Partnership or if the Partnership were unable to lease a
significant amount of space in its buildings on economically favorable lease
terms. There can be no assurance that any tenant whose lease expires in the
future will renew such lease or that the Partnership will be able to re-lease
space on economically advantageous terms.

Illiquidity of Real Estate Investments. Equity real estate investments are
relatively illiquid and therefore tend to limit the ability of the Partnership
to vary its portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other
conditions.

Risk of Bankruptcy of Tenants. The bankruptcy or insolvency of a tenant would
have an adverse impact on the property affected and on the income produced by
such property. Under bankruptcy law, a tenant has the option of assuming
(continuing) or rejecting (terminating) any unexpired lease. If the tenant
assumes its lease with the Partnership, the tenant must cure all defaults under
the lease and provide the Partnership with adequate assurance of its future
performance under the lease. If the tenant rejects the lease, the Partnership's
claim for breach of the lease would (absent collateral securing the claim) be
treated as a general unsecured claim. The amount of the claim would be capped at
the amount owed for unpaid pre-petition lease payments unrelated to the
rejection, plus the greater of one years' lease payments or 15% of the remaining
lease payments payable under the lease (but not to exceed the amount of three
years' lease payments).

Environmental Risks. Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and
regulations, the Partnership may be considered an owner or operator of real
property or may have arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or
toxic substances and, therefore, may become liable for the costs of removal or
remediation of certain hazardous substances released on or in its property or
disposed of by it, as well as certain other potential costs which could relate
to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to
persons and property). Such liability may be imposed whether or not the
Partnership knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous
toxic substances.
