This Current Report on Form 8-K is filed by New Plan Excel Realty
Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("New Plan Excel"), in connection with the
matters described herein.
ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On September 28, 1998, Excel Realty Trust, Inc. ("Excel") and New Plan
Realty Trust ("New Plan") consummated a previously-announced merger pursuant to
an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 14, 1998, as amended as of August 7,
1998 (the "Merger Agreement"), whereby ERT Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Excel, was merged with and into New Plan with New Plan surviving
as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Excel (the "Merger"). The Merger was approved by
the stockholders of Excel and the shareholders of New Plan at special meetings
held on September 25, 1998. In connection with the consummation of the Merger,
Excel changed its name from "Excel Realty Trust, Inc." to "New Plan Excel Realty
Trust, Inc."
As provided in the Merger Agreement, Excel paid a 20% stock dividend
prior to the Merger. Upon consummation of the Merger, each share of beneficial
interest, no par value, of New Plan was converted into one share of common
stock, par value $.01 per share, of New Plan Excel ("New Plan Excel Common
Stock"), and each 7.8% Series A Cumulative Step-Up Premium Rate Preferred Share,
par value $1.00 per share, of New Plan was converted into one share of 7.8%
Series D Cumulative Voting Step-Up Premium Rate Preferred Stock, par value $.01
per share, of New Plan Excel ("New Plan Excel Series D Preferred Stock"). New
Plan Excel issued an aggregate of approximately 60,000,000 shares of New Plan
Excel Common Stock and 150,000 shares of New Plan Excel Series D Preferred Stock
(represented by 1,500,000 depositary shares, each of which represents a
one-tenth fractional interest in a share of New Plan Excel Series D Preferred
Stock) to New Plan's shareholders in the Merger. The New Plan Excel Common Stock
is listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "NXL."
As further provided in the Merger Agreement, effective September 28,
1998, the Board of Directors of New Plan Excel consists of the six members of
Excel's Board and the nine members of New Plan's Board. Effective September 28,
1998, the senior management of New Plan Excel is as follows:

Gary B. Sabin President and Chairman of Investment Committee
James M. Steuterman Executive Vice President and Co-Chief Operating Officer
Richard B. Muir Executive Vice President and Co-Chief Operating Officer
David A. Lund Chief Financial Officer
</TABLE>
New Plan Excel intends and expects that Mr. Laubich will eventually
succeed Mr. Newman as Chairman of New Plan Excel, at such time as Mr. Newman is
no longer serving in such capacity, and that Mr. Sabin will eventually succeed
Mr. Laubich as Chief Executive Officer of New Plan Excel, at such time as Mr.
Laubich is no longer serving in such capacity.
Prior to the consummation of the Merger, New Plan was a
self-administered and self-managed equity real estate investment trust. As of
April 30, 1998, New Plan owned fee or leasehold interests in 132 shopping
centers containing an aggregate of approximately 18.9 million square feet of
gross leasable area ("GLA"), six factory outlet centers containing an aggregate
of approximately 1.8 million square feet of GLA and 52 apartment communities
containing approximately 12,400 units.

NEW PLAN REALTY TRUST
CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Trustees and Shareholders
of New Plan Realty Trust:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of New Plan Realty
Trust and Subsidiaries as of July 31, 1998 and 1997 and the related consolidated
statements of income, change in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended July 31, 1998. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 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 consolidated financial position of New
Plan Realty Trust and Subsidiaries as of July 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended July 31, 1998 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Income Taxes: New Plan Realty Trust was organized July
31, 1972 as a Massachusetts Business Trust. New Plan Realty Trust and
subsidiaries (the "Trust") have elected to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment
Trust ("REIT") under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"). Accordingly, the Trust does not pay Federal
income tax on income as long as income distributed to shareholders is at least
equal to 95% of real estate investment trust taxable income and pays no Federal
income tax on capital gains distributed to shareholders. The Trust may be
subject to tax by certain states that do not recognize the REIT. Provision for
such taxes has been included in real estate and other taxes.
Basis of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of New Plan Realty Trust and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.
Real Estate: Real estate is carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is
calculated on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of
the assets ranging from 5 to 40 years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is
calculated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the life of the lease or
the estimated useful life of the asset. If there is an event or a change in
circumstances that indicates that the basis of the Trust's property may not be
recoverable the Trust's policy is to assess any impairment in value by making a
comparison of the current and projected operating cash flows (excluding interest
and income taxes) of the property over its remaining useful life, on an
undiscounted basis, to the carrying amount of the property. Such carrying
amounts would be adjusted, if necessary, to reflect an impairment in the value
of the property.
The Trust records sales when, among other criteria, the parties are
bound by the terms of a contract, all consideration has been exchanged and all
conditions precedent to closing have been performed. These conditions are
usually met at the time of closing. The cost and related accumulated
depreciation of assets sold are removed from the respective accounts and any
gain or loss is recognized in income.
New Accounting Standards: During 1998, the Trust adopted the provisions
of SFAS 128 and SFAS 129. SFAS 129 had no impact on the financial statements.
Pursuant to SFAS 128, the Trust restated all per share data to conform with the
provisions of that pronouncement (See Note I).
During fiscal 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued (a)
No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), which is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, (b) No. 131 "Disclosures About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"), which is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, (c) No 132
"Employees Disclosure About Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" ("SFAS
132") which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and
(d) No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
("SFAS 133"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.
Management believes that the implementation of SFAS 130, 131, 132 and 133 will
not have a material impact on the Trust's financial statements.
In addition, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position
98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5") and Statement
of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"), which are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1998. Further, the Emerging Issues Task Force of
the Financial Accounting Standards Board released Issue No. 97-11, "Accounting
for Internal Costs Relating to Real Estate Property Acquisitions" ("EITF 97-11")
and Issue No. 98-9, "Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim Financial
Periods" ("EITF 98-9").
SOP 98-5 requires that certain costs incurred in conjunction with
start-up activities be expensed. SOP 98-1 provides guidance on whether the costs
of computer software developed or obtained for internal use should be
capitalized or expensed. EITF 97-11 requires that the internal pre-acquisition
costs of identifying and acquiring operating property be expensed as incurred.
EITF 98-9 requires that contingent revenue not be accrued until a future
specified sales target is achieved.
Management believes that, when adopted, SOP 98-5 and SOP 98-1 will not
have a significant impact on the Trust's financial statements. EITF 97-11 and
98-9 were adopted during fiscal year 1998 and did not have a material impact on
the Trust's financial statements.
Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid
debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Items
classified as cash equivalents include insured bank certificates of deposit and
commercial paper. At times cash balances at a limited number of banks may exceed
insurable amounts. The Trust believes it mitigates its risk by investing in or
through major financial institutions. Recoverability of investments is dependent
upon the performance of the issuer.
Revenue Recognition: Lease agreements between the Trust and retail
tenants generally provide for additional rentals based on such factors as
percentage of tenants' sales in excess of specified volumes, increases in real
estate taxes, increases in Consumer Price Indices and common area maintenance
charges. These additional rentals are generally included in income when reported
to the Trust or when billed to tenants.
The Trust recognizes rental income from leases with scheduled rent
increases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Deferred rent
receivable, included in trade and notes receivable, represents the difference
between the straight-line rent and amounts currently due.
Concentration of Credit Risk: No tenant or single property accounts for
more than 5% of the Trust's revenues.
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, liabilities,
revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant
assumptions and estimates relate to depreciable lives, valuation of real estate
and the recoverability of mortgage notes and trade accounts receivable.
<PAGE> 12
Internal Software Costs: Any costs associated with modifying computer
software for the year 2000 are expensed as incurred. Management does not believe
future costs to be incurred will be material.
NOTE B - MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Trust has classified all investments in equity securities as
available-for-sale. All investments are recorded at current market value with an
offsetting adjustment to shareholders' equity (Amounts in Thousands).

The Notes are uncollateralized and subordinate to mortgages payable and
rank equally with debt under the revolving credit facility. Where applicable,
the discount is being amortized over the life of the respective Notes using the
effective interest method. Interest is payable semi-annually or quarterly and
the principal is due at maturity. Among other restrictive covenants, there is a
restrictive covenant that limits the amount of total indebtedness to 65% of
total assets. For the year ended July 31, 1998, $387,000 of amortized discount
and issuing costs were included in interest expense.

NOTE H - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option
of the Trust on or after June 15, 2007 at the liquidation preference of $500 a
share. The preferred shares pay dividends quarterly at the rate of 7.8% of the
liquidation preference per annum through September 15, 2012 and at the rate of
9.8% of the liquidation preference per annum thereafter. In connection with the
issuance of the Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares, 1,500,000 depositary
shares, each representing a 1/10 fractional interest in a share of cumulative
preferred, were sold to the public.
<PAGE> 14
The Trust has the following stock option plans (the "Plans") pursuant
to which the Trust has granted (and in one instance, may continue to grant)
options to purchase Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust (the "Shares") to
officers, trustees and certain key employees of the Trust: (i) the 1985
Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1985 Plan"), (ii) the March 1991 Stock Option
Plan (the "March 1991 Plan"), (iii) the Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the
"Non-Qualified Plan"), (iv) the 1991 Stock Option Plan (the "1991 Plan") and (v)
the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "1997 Plan"). The exercise price of a Share
pursuant to each of the Plans is or was required (as the case may be) to be no
less than the fair market value of a Share on the date of grant. Under the 1985
Plan and the 1991 and 1997 Plans (with the exception of certain option grants of
10,000 Shares or more, as discussed below) and the Non-Qualified Plan, options
are exercisable 20% per year commencing one year from the date of grant. In the
case of certain option grants of 10,000 Shares or more under the 1991 Plan, such
option grants are exercisable 10% after the first anniversary of the date of
grant, 25% after the second anniversary of the date of grant, 45% after the
third anniversary of the date of grant, 70% after the fourth anniversary of the
date of grant and 100% after the fifth anniversary of the date of grant. In the
case of the March 1991 Plan, 30% of the options granted are exercisable on the
third anniversary of the date of grant and, thereafter, an additional 10% of the
granted options are exercisable on a yearly basis. Future option grants can be
made only under the 1991 and 1997 Plans.
The following table shows the activity and balances for each stock option plan
during the fiscal years indicated.

The Trust has adopted the disclosure-only provision of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). Accordingly, no compensation expense has been
recognized for the options described above which were granted on or after August
1, 1995. Had compensation cost for these options been determined based on the
fair value on the grant date consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the
Trust's net earnings and earnings per share of beneficial interest would have
been changed to the pro forma amounts shown below.
These pro forma adjustments to net income and net income per common
share assume fair values of each option grant estimated using the Black-Scholes
option pricing formula. The more significant assumptions underlying the
determination of such fair values for options granted during 1998, 1997 and 1996
include: (i) weighted average risk-free interest rates of 5.87%, 6.66% and 6.4%,
respectively; (ii) weighted average expected option lives of 6.5 years, 6.3
years and 6.3 years, respectively; (iii) an expected volatility of 18.25%, 19.3%
and 15.79%, respectively, and (iv) an expected dividend yield of 6.14%, 6.12%
and 6.12%, respectively. The per share weighted average fair value at the dates
of grant for options awarded during 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $2.78, $3.10 and
$2.83, respectively.

The Trust has a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (the
"Plan") whereby shareholders may invest cash distributions and make optional
cash payments to purchase Shares of the Trust without payment of any brokerage
commission or service charge. The price per share of the additional shares to be
purchased with invested cash distributions is the midpoint between the day's
high and low sales prices on the New York Stock Exchange, less 5%.

The Trust has made loans to officers, trustees and employees primarily
for the purpose of purchasing its Shares. These loans are demand and term notes
bearing interest at rates ranging from 5% to 9.75%. Interest is payable

</TABLE>
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable:
Cash and cash equivalents and other receivables and payables: The
carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those
instruments.
Marketable securities: Fair value is based on quoted market prices.
Mortgages and Notes receivable: The fair value is estimated based on
discounting the future cash flows at a year-end risk adjusted lending rate that
the Trust would utilize for loans of similar risk and duration.
Mortgages payable and Notes payable: The fair value is estimated based
on discounting future cash flows at a year-end adjusted borrowing rate which
reflects the risks associated with mortgages and notes of similar risk and
duration.
NOTE Q - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to July 31, 1998 the Trust purchased an apartment complex
containing 278 units and a single tenant retail property containing
approximately 34,000 gross leasable square feet. The properties are located in
North Carolina and Pennsylvania. The aggregate purchase price for such
properties was approximately $14.2 million.
On August 11, 1998 the Trustees declared a cash distribution to
shareholders of record of the shares of beneficial interest as of September 1,
1998 in the amount of $.375 per share (approximately $22.5 million) payable on
September 11, 1998.
On August 11, 1998 the Trustees declared a cash distribution to
shareholders of record of the Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares as of
September 1, 1998 in the amount of $9.75 per share ($.975 per depositary share,
approximately $1.5 million) payable on September 15, 1998.
On September 25, 1998, New Plan Realty Trust, a Massachusetts business
trust (the "Trust"), Excel Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("Excel"),
and ERT Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Excel ("Sub"), voted to accept an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of
May 14, 1998 providing for the merger of the Sub with and into the Trust and the
Trust surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Excel. Subsequently Excel
declared a 20% stock dividend and then issued one share of Excel for each of the
Trust's outstanding shares of beneficial interest. After the merger, the
combined company, which was renamed New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc. ("New Plan
Excel"), has approximately 93 million common shares outstanding. Holders of the
Trust's shares upon consummation of the merger hold approximately 65% of the
outstanding common stock of New Plan Excel. The Board of Directors of New Plan
Excel consists of the nine (9) current members of the Trust's Board and six (6)
members currently on Excel's Board. The dividend policy of New Plan Excel for
the first year following the merger is $1.60 per share with anticipated minimum
increases of $0.0025 per share per quarter until the current quarterly dividend
(expressed as an annual rate) is $1.67 per share.
Holders of the Trust's Series A Cumulative Step Up Premium Rate
Preferred Shares received an equal amount of Excel's Series D Cumulative Voting
Step Up Premium Rate Preferred Stock ("Excel Series D Preferred Stock") with
substantially identical terms, except that holders of the Excel Series D
Preferred Stock will have the right to vote with the holders of the common stock
of New Plan Excel on all matters and for two additional directors of New Plan
Excel if the distributions on the Excel Series D Preferred Stock are in arrears
for six or more quarterly periods. In addition, an application will be made to
list the Excel Series D Preferred Stock on the New York Stock Exchange.
The merger will, for financial accounting purposes, be accounted for as
an acquisition of Excel by New Plan using the purchase method of accounting. The
transaction was completed on September 28, 1998.

1. Summary of Accounting Treatment:
The exchange of New Plan Shares of Beneficial Interest for Excel Common
Stock in connection with the Merger is being accounted for as a reverse merger
for financial reporting purposes as if New Plan has acquired Excel. As such, the
assets and liabilities of Excel have been adjusted to fair value in connection
with the application of purchase accounting.
2. Adjustments to Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets
(A) Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical balance
sheets of New Plan and Excel in order to conform to the desired pro forma
combined condensed balance sheet presentation.
(B) Represents adjustments to record the Merger in accordance with the
purchase method of accounting based upon an assumed purchase price of Excel
stock of $905,175. The purchase price was calculated assuming a market value of
New Plan Shares of Beneficial Interest of $24.20 per share times the outstanding
shares of Excel Common Stock of 28,118,668 after the 20% stock dividend to the
current holders of Excel Common Stock. In addition, the Excel Preferred A Stock
of 2,126,380 shares has been valued at $28.75 per share and the Excel Preferred
B Stock of 630,000 shares has been valued at $24.90 per 1/10 of a share. All
share prices were determined by taking the average of the closing stock prices
10 days before and after the announced merger date of May 14, 1998. The total
purchase price is as follows:

3. Adjustments To Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income
(A) Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical
statements of income of New Plan and Excel in order to conform to the desired
pro forma combined condensed statements of income presentation. The Consolidated
Condensed Statements of Income include pro forma adjustments for real estate
acquisitions that both companies have made within the past twelve months. The
cash used to acquire real estate by New Plan has been assumed to come from
available cash in savings and from new debt issues. The new debt issued by New
Plan was assumed to have an average interest rate of 6.8%. Depreciation expense
on the New Plan acquisitions was based on an estimated useful life of 40 years,
using the straight line method and allocating the cost between land and building
at 20% and 80%, respectively. The cash used to acquire real estate by Excel has
been assumed to come from approximately $223 million in equity offerings and the
issuance of $39 million in debt.
The following adjustments have been made to convert the operations of
Excel, which has reported operations on a calendar year basis, to a year ended
June 30, 1998 (this approximates the July 31 year end of New Plan).
