Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on January 17, 1997.

ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

        On December 31, 1996, the Company acquired the Valley Fair Mall from
Valley Fair Mall, Inc., a subsidiary of Safeco Insurance Company, an
unaffiliated party. Valley Fair Mall is a shopping center with approximately
608,000 square feet of gross leasable area located in West Valley City, a suburb
of Salt Lake City, Utah. As part of the same transaction, the Company acquired
four acres of undeveloped land. The acquisition price was approximately $37.3
million, which was comprised of approximately $19.4 million cash and the
assumption of a 7.6% fixed rate mortgage of approximately $17.9 million. The
funds used to acquire Valley Fair Mall were obtained from the Company's line of
credit, which was previously paid down from the Company's public offering of
common stock which was consummated in December, 1996. In assessing the
acquisition of Valley Fair Mall, the Company considered, among other factors,
its location, occupancy rate, the quality of the tenants (including the tenants'
credit quality), comparative rents, and the competition in the Salt Lake City
rental market. The Company also assessed the sources of potential expenses
associated with owning and operating Valley Fair Mall, including, among other
factors, estimated maintenance expenses, capital improvements, expenses
associated with the possible redevelopment of the Valley Fair Mall and the
development of the four undeveloped acres referenced above and property
management and other operating expenses.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
        
        The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
        in the preparation of this Historical Summary. The Historical Summary
        and notes are representations of Excel Realty Trust, Inc. and Valley
        Fair Mall, Inc., whose management are responsible for the integrity and
        objectivity of this Historical Summary.

        Business Activity - Excel Realty Trust, Inc. is headquartered in San
        Diego, California. The Trust is a self-administered, self-managed equity
        real estate investment trust which owns and manages income-producing
        properties.

        The property is located in Salt Lake City, Utah operated as an indoor
        shopping mall with major department stores as anchors: JC Penney, ZCMI,
        and Mervyns. 

        Valley Fair Mall, Inc. has owned and managed the property. Retail space
        within the mall is rented to tenants under noncancelable leases ranging
        from three to thirty years, with renewal options available and
        month-to-month leases.

        Form of Presentation - The Historical summary is presented in conformity
        with Rule 3-14 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly,
        certain expenses of the properties are not included in the financial
        statements, i.e. depreciation and interest.

        Management has determined that after reasonable inquiry, it is not
        aware of any material factors relating to the property reported on in
        the accompanying Historical Summary which would cause the reported
        financial information not to be indicative of future operating results.

        Revenue Recognition - Base rental income from leases is recorded when
        due from tenants. Some of the leases include percentage rents and
        overage rents based on the level of sales of the lessee. Leases
        generally provide for tenant reimbursements of common area maintenance.
        These reimbursements are included in the accompanying Historical Summary
        as expense reimbursements.

* Tenant intends to renew lease beginning January 1, 1997 pending change in
ownership. 

The schedule of future minimum rentals is based on the actual noncancelable
lease terms in effect as of December 31, 1996. Many of the tenant leases
contain terms for renewal options, percentage rents and overage rents, and
adjustments based on changes in the consumer price index. These renewal
options, percentage rents and overage rents, and adjustments based on changes
in the consumer price index have not been reflected in the above noncancelable
lease schedule.

All percentage rents and overage rents are contingent based on the tenant
achieving certain levels of sales. Not all of the leases have a provision for
percentage rents. Also, some month-to-month leases exist in addition to the
noncancelable leases scheduled above.
