                                    ------



Item 1.  Business.

Item 1(a).  General Development of Business.

  The Rouse Company (the "Company") was incorporated as a
    business corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland in 1956.  Its
    principal offices are located at The Rouse Company Building, Columbia,
    Maryland 21044.  Its telephone number is (410) 992-6000.  The Company,
    through its subsidiaries and affiliates, is engaged in (i) the ownership,
    management, acquisition and development of income-producing and other real
    estate in the United States, including retail centers, office buildings,
    mixed-use projects, community retail centers and two hotels, and the
    management of one retail center in Canada, and (ii) the development and sale
    of land to builders and other developers, primarily around Columbia,
    Maryland, for residential, commercial and industrial uses.

  RECENT DEVELOPMENTS.  On February 27, 1996, the Company entered into certain
    merger agreements whereby the Company agreed, subject to certain conditions,
    to acquire The Hughes Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("THC"), its
    affiliated partnership, Howard Hughes Properties, Limited Partnership
    ("HHPLP"), a Delaware limited partnership, and their subsidiaries and
    affiliates. THC and HHPLP are primarily engaged in real estate management
    and development. The assets of THC and its subsidiaries include four
    large-scale, master-planned business parks (three in Las Vegas and one in
    Los Angeles), a 75% partnership interest in a regional shopping center in
    Las Vegas, a 22,500 acre master planned, new community in Las Vegas and
    a number of other land parcels and commercial buildings in both Nevada
    and Los Angeles.

  The Company agreed to acquire all the capital stock of THC ("THC Common
    Stock") through a merger of THC into a wholly owned subsidiary of the
    Company (the "Merger"). The Company agreed to acquire the 48% of the
    partnership interests of HHPLP which are not currently owned by THC through
    a merger of another wholly owned subsidiary of the Company into HHPLP (the
    "HHPLP Merger"). The purchase price includes debt presently encumbering the
    assets of THC and its subsidiaries.

  In the Merger, holders of THC Common Stock are to receive (i) shares of Rouse
    Common Stock or, in the event that the number of shares of Rouse Common
    Stock issuable in the Merger would otherwise exceed 19.9% of the currently
    outstanding Rouse Common Stock, a combination of Rouse Common Stock and
    cash, in each case having a value of $176.4 million, (ii) a note of up to
    $15 million and (iii) contractual rights to receive additional shares of
    Rouse Common Stock or, if the Company is

                                      I-1

Item 1.  Business, continued.

    unable for any reason to deliver shares of Rouse Common Stock, shares of a
    new series of increasing rate Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of
    the Company over a period of up to 15 years following the consummation of
    the Merger based upon certain formulas relating to the cash flow and
    appraised value of certain assets of THC and its subsidiaries.  The number
    of shares to be issued in the Merger will be determined by the average
    closing price of the stock for the 30 trading days ending five days prior to
    the closing date subject to maximum and minimum prices.

  Pursuant to the HHPLP Merger, holders of partnership interests in HHPLP (other
    than THC) will be entitled to receive an amount of cash equal to (i) the sum
    of (x) $40 million plus (y) the aggregate amount of cash and cash
    equivalents held by THC and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 minus (ii)
    certain expenses, subject to certain adjustments.

  The transactions are conditioned upon approval by the requisite vote of the
    holders of THC Common Stock and certain other closing conditions and,
    accordingly, there can be no assurance that the transactions will be
    consummated. See Exhibit 99.2 for a description of the risks related to
    these transactions. The transactions are expected to close in the second
    quarter of 1996.

Item 1(b).  Financial Information About Industry Segments.

  Information required by Item 1(b) is incorporated herein by
    reference to note 13 of the notes to consolidated financial statements
    included in the 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders.

  As noted in Item 1(a), the Company is a real estate company
    engaged in most aspects of the real estate industry, including the
    management, acquisition and development of income-producing and other
    properties, both retail and commercial, community development and
    management, and land sales.  These business segments are further described
    below.

Item 1(c).  Narrative Description of Business.

  Operating Properties:
  -------------------- 

  As set forth in Item 2, at December 31, 1995, the 66 regional
    retail centers owned, in whole or in part, or operated by subsidiaries or
    affiliates of the Company, aggregated 21,435,000 square feet of leasable
    space, including 1,067,000 square feet leased to department stores and
    402,000 square feet of office space.  The activities involved in operating
    and managing retail centers include:  negotiating lease terms with present
    and prospective tenants, identifying and attracting desirable new tenants,
    conducting local market and consumer research, developing and implementing
    short- and long-term merchandising and leasing programs, assisting tenants
    in the presentation of their merchandise and the layout of their stores and
    storefronts, and maintaining the buildings and common areas.

  In conjunction with other partners or investors, the Company
    has a program of acquiring completed retail centers, with the Company having
    management responsibility and earning incentive fees including, in some
    instances, equity interests in the centers.  The Company also has a program
    of providing management services for centers developed and owned by others
    under management agreements that also provide for incentive fees and, in
    some instances, equity interests in the centers.  As of December 31, 1995,
    the Company managed 19 such centers, which are included in the figures in
    the preceding paragraph and aggregated 6,097,000 square feet of leasable
    space.

  In addition to Columbia Mall, which is included in the figures
    in the second preceding paragraph, The Howard Research And Development
    Corporation ("HRD", a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and its
    subsidiaries own and/or manage 17 office and industrial buildings and retail
    centers with 3,081,000 square feet of leasable office space, 8 village
    centers with 824,000 square feet of leasable retail space and other
    properties and additional commercial space, including the 289-room Columbia
    Inn in Columbia, Maryland.

  Other subsidiaries of the Company own, in whole or in part, and
    operate 11 office buildings with a total of 2,685,000 square feet of
    leasable space and the 146-room Cross Keys Inn located at The Village of
    Cross Keys in Baltimore, Maryland.  The Company also has a 5% interest in
    Rouse-Teachers Properties, Inc., which owns 76 office/industrial buildings
    with 5,101,000

Item 1(c).  Narrative Description of Business, continued:

    square feet of space and 308 acres of land.  A wholly owned affiliate of the
    Company is responsible for the operation, management and development of all
    buildings and land owned by Rouse-Teachers Properties, Inc.

  Development:
  ----------- 

  The Company renovates and expands existing retail centers and
    develops suburban and downtown retail centers and mixed-use projects,
    primarily for ownership.  In addition, the Company is capable of serving as
    the master developer for certain mixed-use projects, with the Company
    generally owning at least the retail component of such projects.  The
    activities involved in the development, renovation and expansion of retail
    centers and mixed-use projects include:  initial market and consumer
    research, evaluating and acquiring land sites, obtaining necessary public
    approvals, engaging architectural and engineering firms to design the
    project, estimating development costs, developing and testing pro forma
    operating statements, selecting a general contractor, arranging construction
    and permanent financing, identifying and obtaining department stores and
    other tenants, negotiating lease terms, negotiating partnership and joint
    venture agreements and promoting new, renovated or expanded retail centers
    and mixed-use projects.

  The Company and certain subsidiaries or affiliates are in the
    construction or development stage of announced projects, primarily
    expansions of existing centers.

  Land Sales:
  ---------- 

  HRD is the developing entity of Columbia, Maryland, which is
    located in the Baltimore-Washington corridor.  HRD owns approximately 1,837
    saleable acres of land in and around Columbia, and, through its subsidiaries
    and affiliates, develops and sells this land to builders and other
    developers for residential, commercial and industrial uses.  The Company,
    through its subsidiaries and affiliates, also is presently involved in
    community development and related land sales elsewhere in Maryland and is
    developing for sale a parcel of land in California.

  In all aspects of the Company's business pertaining to the
    ownership, management, acquisition or development of income-producing and
    other real estate, the Company operates in highly competitive markets.  With
    respect to the leasing and operation or management of developed properties,
    each project faces

Item 1.  Business, continued.

Item 1(c). Narrative Description of Business, continued:

    market competition from existing and future developments in its geographical
    market area.  The Company competes with developers and other buyers with
    respect to the acquisition of development sites or centers and for financing
    opportunities in the money markets.  The Company also faces competition in
    and around Columbia, Maryland with respect to the development and sale of
    land for residential, commercial and industrial uses.

  Neither the Company's business, taken as a whole, nor any of
    its industry segments, is seasonal in nature.

  Federal, state and local statutes and regulations relating to
    the protection of the environment have previously had no material effect on
    the Company's business.  Future development opportunities of the Company may
    involve additional capital and other expenditures in order to comply with
    such statutes and regulations.  It is impossible at this time to predict
    with any certainty the magnitude of any such expenditures or the long-range
    effect, if any, on the Company's operations.  Compliance with such laws has
    had no material adverse effect on the operating results or competitive
    position of the Company in the past; the Company anticipates that they will
    have no material adverse effect on its future operating results or its
    competitive position in the industry.

  None of the Company's industry segments depends upon a single
    customer or a few customers, the loss of which would have a materially
    adverse effect on the segment.  No customer accounts for 10 percent or more
    of the consolidated revenues of the Company.

  The Company and its subsidiaries had 4,283 full- and part-
    time employees at December 31, 1995.

Item 2.  Properties.

  The Company leases its headquarters building (approximately 127,000 square
  feet) in Columbia, Maryland for an initial term of 30 years which expires in
  2003 with options for two 15-year renewal periods.  The lease on the
  headquarters building is accounted for as a capital lease.

  Information respecting the Company's operating properties is incorporated
  herein by reference to the "Projects of The Rouse Company" table on pages 58
  through 62 of Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K.  In addition to the properties
  presented in the table, the Company owned Outlet Square in Atlanta, Georgia
  and Talbottown in Easton, Maryland as of December 31, 1995.  These properties
  were sold in February, 1996.  The ownership of virtually all properties is
  subject to mortgage financing.  The table of projects includes retail centers
  managed by the Company for a fee as identified in notes (c) and (d) to the
  table.  Excluding such managed centers, certain of the remaining properties
  are subject to leases which provide an option to purchase (or repurchase) the
  property and/or to renew the leases for one or more renewal periods.  The
  years of expiration indicated below assume all options to extend the terms of
  the leases are exercised.  The properties subject to such leases in whole or
  in part are as follows:

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.

On November 6, 1990, Robert P. Guastella Equities, Inc. ("Plaintiff"), a former
  tenant at the Riverwalk Shopping Center in New Orleans, Louisiana
  ("Riverwalk"), which is owned and operated by New Orleans Riverwalk
  Associates, an affiliate of the Company ("NORA"), filed suit in the Civil
  District Court of Orleans Parish, Louisiana against NORA, the Company, two
  Company affiliates - Rouse-New Orleans, Inc. and New Orleans Riverwalk Limited
  Partnership - and Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, which is a
  general partner of NORA (collectively, "Defendants").  Plaintiff alleged that
  Defendants breached Plaintiff's lease agreement with NORA for the operation of
  a restaurant at Riverwalk by (i) failing to prevent the leased premises from
  flooding, (ii) refusing to permit entertainment on the leased premises, (iii)
  interfering with the operation of air conditioning equipment on the leased
  premises and (iv) failing to provide adequate security.  Plaintiff claimed
  that as a result of these breaches it suffered losses and could not pay the
  rentals due under the lease agreement, as a result of which the lease and its
  tenancy were terminated by NORA.  Plaintiff sought damages of approximately
  $600,000 for these alleged breaches.  In addition, on September 3, 1992,
  Plaintiff claimed $33,000,000 for alleged lost future profits which it claimed
  it would have earned had its lease not been terminated.  All Defendants filed
  answers denying the claims of Plaintiff and asserted other defenses.  NORA
  also asserted a counterclaim against Plaintiff and its guarantors, Robert
  Guastella and Charles Kovacs, for past due rentals and other charges in the
  approximate amount of $300,000 plus interest and attorneys' fees as provided
  for in the lease agreement.  The case was tried before a jury and, on October
  28, 1993, the jury returned a verdict against Defendants upon which judgment
  was entered by the trial court on January 7, 1994, in the total net amount of
  approximately $9,128,000 (which included a net award for lost future profits
  of approximately $8,640,000) plus interest from the date the suit was filed
  and attorneys' fees in an amount to be determined.  On May 6, 1994, the trial
  court denied all post-trial motions of both Plaintiff and Defendants.  The
  trial court also entered an amended judgment in which it awarded Plaintiff
  $450,000 in attorneys' fees and awarded Defendants $25,000 in attorneys' fees.

On May 23, 1994, Defendants appealed this judgment to the Louisiana Court of
  Appeal, Fourth District.  On November 16, 1995, the Louisiana Court of Appeal
  in a 2 to 1 decision reduced the judgement by $240,000, but otherwise affirmed
  the damage award to Plaintiff.  Defendants subsequently filed a motion for
  reconsideration with the Louisiana Court of Appeal, which was denied on
  December 19, 1995, again in a 2 to 1 decision.  On January 18, 1996,
  Defendants filed a petition requesting the Louisiana Supreme Court to consider
  a further appeal of this judgment.  Plaintiff filed an opposition to this
  petition on February 2, 1996, and Defendants submitted a reply brief on
  February 21, 1996.

The Company recorded in the fourth quarter of 1995 a pre-tax provision in the
  amount of $12,321,000, representing the full amount of the modified award
  (including attorneys' fees) plus interest, less pre-tax provisions previously
  recorded totaling $1,150,000. The Company believes that the ultimate
  disposition of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the
  Company's consolidated financial position.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
                          ----------------------------


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
The Rouse Company:

We have audited the consolidated cost basis financial statements and the related
financial statement schedules of The Rouse Company and subsidiaries as listed in
the accompanying index.  We have also audited the supplemental consolidated
current value basis financial statements listed in the index.  These
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement
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 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 cost basis financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The
Rouse Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules,
when considered in relation to the basic consolidated cost basis financial
statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.

As more fully described in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the
supplemental consolidated current value basis financial statements referred to
above have been prepared by management to present relevant financial information
about The Rouse Company and its subsidiaries which is not provided by the cost
basis financial statements and are not intended to be a presentation in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  In addition, as more
fully described in note 1, the supplemental consolidated current value basis
financial statements do not purport to present the net realizable, liquidation
or market value of the Company as a whole.  Furthermore, amounts ultimately
realized by the Company from the disposal of properties may vary from the
current values presented.

In our opinion, the supplemental consolidated current value basis financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein on the basis of accounting described in note 1 to
the consolidated financial statements.

                      ------------------------------------

                               THE ROUSE COMPANY
                               -----------------



     THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN (the "Plan")
is made as of the 1st day of January, 1985, and further amended and restated as
of the 24th day of September, 1992, the 4th day of March, 1994, and the 10th day
of May, 1995, by The Rouse Company (hereinafter referred to as the "Company").

                             Background Statement:
                             -------------------- 

     The Company maintains a defined benefit plan for its employees known as the
Pension Plan and Trust Agreement of The Rouse Company (Amendment and Restatement
Effective January 1, 1989) (hereinafter referred to, including as amended from
time to time, as the "Pension Plan").  The Company also maintains a savings plan
for its employees known as The Rouse Company Savings Plan (Restated and with
Amendments Generally Effective January 1, 1987) (hereinafter referred to,
including as amended from time to time, as the "Savings Plan").  The Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), place certain limits on the
benefits that may be accrued and paid from the Pension Plan and on the maximum
annual additions that may be made to a Participant's accounts under the Savings
Plan.  Certain of these limits were further restricted by the Retirement
Protection Act of 1994, as amended (the "RPA").  In addition, the Company wishes
to permit eligible employees to defer all or any portion of their incentive cash
bonus that the Board of Directors approves.

     For these reasons, the Company desires to amend and restate this Plan (i)
to provide for the payment of benefits to those eligible employees whose pension
benefit under the Pension Plan or whose annual additions under the Savings Plan
could be affected by the limiting provisions of the Code or ERISA, including
those modified by the RPA, whether as presently existing or as subsequently
enacted, to the end that the total benefits available to such eligible employees
may be determined on the same basis as is applicable to all other employees of
the Company who are not subject to limitations on benefits paid under the
Pension Plan or on annual additions under the Savings Plan due to the
requirements of the Code and ERISA, including the RPA, and (ii) to permit
eligible employees to defer all or any portion of their incentive cash bonuses
that the Board of Directors approves.
<PAGE>
 
                                   The Plan
                                   --------

     Accordingly, and pursuant to due authorization by the Board of Directors of
the Company, the Company further amends and restates this Plan.

                                   SECTION 1
                                  ELIGIBILITY
                                  -----------

     All employees of the Company who are determined by the Plan Administrator
to be in the special salary ranges  shall be eligible to participate in this
Plan according to its terms.  Each eligible employee is hereafter referred to as
a "Participant."

                                   SECTION 2
                 AMOUNT OF BENEFIT RELATING TO THE PENSION PLAN
                 ----------------------------------------------

     A Participant who is vested and entitled to benefits under the Pension Plan
shall receive a benefit under this Section, credited to his or her Pension
Account, equal to the difference, if any, between (i) and (ii) where:

               (i)  is the benefit which would have been paid to such
     Participant or, on his behalf, to his beneficiary(ies) under the Pension
     Plan, if the provisions of the Pension Plan were administered without
     regard to any special benefit limitations of the Pension Plan required by
     any existing or subsequently enacted provision of the Code or ERISA; and

               (ii) is the benefit which is payable to such Participant or, on
     his behalf, to his beneficiary(ies) under the terms and conditions of the
     Pension Plan, as amended from time to time.

          The reference in clause (i) above to special benefit limitations
required by the Code or ERISA shall include, for example, the limitations which
are imposed by the Code as a result of the Retirement Protection Act of 1994, as
amended, on the maximum amount of benefits that can be paid to a Participant
under the Pension Plan when benefits are payable before the Participant's Social
Security Retirement Age, or when they are payable in a form other than a
straight life annuity, such as a lump sum.

                                   SECTION 3
                 AMOUNT OF BENEFIT RELATING TO THE SAVINGS PLAN
                 ----------------------------------------------

          (a)   A Contribution Account shall be established for each
Participant. A Participant's Contribution Account shall be credited with the
difference, if any, between (i) and (ii) where:

               (i)  is the sum of Matching Contributions and Basic Contributions
     that the Participant could elect to make under the Savings Plan if the
     Savings Plan were administered without regard to any special annual
     additions limitations provisions in the Savings Plan required by any
     existing or subsequently enacted provision of the Code or ERISA; and

               (ii)  is the annual additions limitation under the Savings Plan
     as required by any existing or subsequently enacted provision of the Code
     or ERISA.

          (b)  Subject to such rules as the Plan Administrator shall establish,
a Participant may specify that his or her Contribution Account shall be treated
as if it were invested in any of the investment alternatives that are available
under The Rouse Company Savings Plan, as amended, and such Contribution Account
shall be credited with investment earnings, gains or losses accordingly.

                                   SECTION 4
                        DEFERRAL OF INCENTIVE CASH BONUS
                        --------------------------------

          (a) Each Participant shall be entitled to make an election as provided
in this Section 4 to defer the receipt of a percentage, or a stated dollar
amount, to be specified by the Participant, of any incentive cash bonus
otherwise payable by the Company to the Participant in the future.

          (b) The Participant's deferral election shall be made subject to such
rules and in accordance with such terms and conditions as the Personnel
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company or, if delegated by the
Personnel Committee, the Plan Administrator shall establish.  Consistent with
such rules, terms and conditions, such election must be made prior to the time
the Participant earns the deferred amounts, and the Participant's election shall
specify the deferral period and the manner of payment of the deferred amounts.
Once made, the election shall be irrevocable and binding on both the Company and
the Participant; provided, however, that the Participant may, with the consent
of the Plan Administrator, (i) amend the deferral election to change the payment
method or postpone the scheduled payment date and (ii) make hardship
withdrawals.  The Participant shall have the right to designate any beneficiary
or beneficiaries to receive payments upon the Participant's death.
                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
          (c) A Deferred Bonus Account shall be established for each Participant
electing to defer his or her incentive cash bonus under this Section 4, which
Account shall be credited with such deferred bonuses.  Subject to such rules,
terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator shall establish, a Participant
may specify that his or her Deferred Bonus Account shall be treated as if it
were invested in any of the investment alternatives that are available under The
Rouse Company Savings Plan, as amended, and such Deferred Bonus Account shall be
credited with investment earnings, gains or losses accordingly.

          (d) The amount of each Participant's incentive cash bonus that the
Participant elects to defer under this Section 4 shall be deemed to be
compensation under the Company's Pension Plan, Savings Plan and welfare and
fringe benefit plans (including, but not limited to, its life insurance and
disability plans) only to the extent specifically provided in such plans.  For
purposes of calculating the amount of a Participant's benefits under Section
2(i) or contributions under Section 3(a)(i), amounts deferred under this Section
4 shall be treated as compensation.

                                   SECTION 5
                              PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

sole discretion, establish additional or alternative provisions with respect to

benefits that are paid in a form other than a lump sum upon the Participant's
termination), and under this Section 5 establish procedures for a Participant's
election.  In such case, the additional or alternative provisions and the

attached as an exhibit to this Plan and shall be binding on all Participants.
The Plan Administrator may subsequently amend, modify or delete such provisions
or procedures in the same manner.

          (e)  Special Provision - Notwithstanding any other provision of this
               -----------------

mandatory retirement policies under federal or state law may, anytime after
attaining age 62, request a distribution (actual or deferred, each of which is
referred to hereinafter as a "Distribution") of all or any portion of his or her
excess Pension Plan benefit specified in Section 2 or excess Savings Plan
benefit specified in Section 3 or both.  The Company may, in its sole discretion

without limitation, the amount of the Distribution, the timing of the
Distribution, the form of payment of the Distribution and additional amounts, if

benefit payable under this Plan be made from the trust funds of the Pension Plan
                                      -5-

                                   SECTION 7
                          OPERATION AND ADMINISTRATION
                          ----------------------------

          This Plan shall be operated under the direction of the Personnel
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company and administered by the Plan
Administrator of the Pension Plan, whose decision on all matters involving the
interpretation and application of this Plan shall be final and binding.

                                   SECTION 8
                          AMENDMENT AND DISCONTINUANCE
                          ----------------------------

          The Company shall continue this Plan for so long as the Pension Plan
or Savings Plan is in effect.  The Plan may be amended, at any time and from
time to time, by the Board of Directors of the Company or the Personnel
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, except that the Personnel
Committee shall have no authority (i) to adopt any amendment to the Plan that
would increase the Company's imputed annual funding costs by more than five
percent (5%), or (ii) to terminate the Plan.  However, no amendment of this Plan
(or termination coincident with termination of the Pension Plan and Savings
Plan) shall reduce any benefits vested or accrued by a Participant under this
Plan as of the date of such action. In the event of a discontinuance (or an
amendment which reduces a Participant's accrued benefit), the Company shall be
liable for the full amount of any benefit accrued as of a date immediately prior
to the effective date of such amendment or discontinuance, such benefit to be
determined by assuming that each affected Participant had terminated employment
as of such earlier date.

                                   SECTION 9
                                    VESTING
                                    -------

          Each Participant's interest in his accrued benefit under this Plan

                           NON-ALIENATION OF BENEFITS
                           --------------------------

          None of the payments, benefits or rights of any Participant or
beneficiary shall be subject to any claim of any creditor, and, in particular,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, all such payments, benefits and rights
shall be free from attachment, garnishment, trustee's process or any other legal
or equitable process available to any creditor of such Participant or
beneficiary. No Participant or beneficiary shall have the right to alienate,
anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber or assign any of the benefits or payments
that he or she may expect
                                      -6-

to receive, contingently or otherwise, under this Plan, except the right to

                           NO CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT
                           -------------------------

          (a) The Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the
Company and a Participant, or to be a consideration for, or a condition of,
employment of any Participant. Neither the establishment of this Plan, nor any
modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund or account, nor the payment
of any benefits shall be construed as giving any Participant the right to be
retained in the service of the Company, and all Participants shall remain
subject to discharge to the same extent as if this Plan had never been adopted.

          (b)  Notwithstanding any provision of Section 11(a), the terms and
conditions of any Distribution (without regard to whether it is an actual or
deferred distribution) under Section 5(e) shall constitute unconditional
contractual obligations of the Company that may not be modified except with the
written approval of both the Company, with the prior approval of either the
Board of Directors or the Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors, and the
Participant.

                                   SECTION 12
                  HEIRS, ASSIGNS AND PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES
                  -------------------------------------------

          This Plan shall be binding upon the Company and any subsidiary or
affiliate of the Company that may, with the consent of the Board of Directors of
the Company, adopt this Plan. This Plan shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties, including each
Participant and beneficiary (subject to the right of a Participant to change

   Re:       Cash Bonus Deferral Program
             ---------------------------


        In 1994, the company established a program as part of its Supplemental 
   Retirement Benefit Plan under which you may defer all or any portion of your 
   incentive cash bonus that the Board may approve annually. If you defer all or
   part of your bonus, you benefit by avoiding current taxation on the bonus 
   (except that you must currently pay the Medicare portion of FICA, or 1.45%,
   and the 1.45% will be treated as taxable income) and having the fulll amount
   of the bonus (less the 1.45%) available for investment growth. IF YOU WISH 
   TO DEFER ANY PORTION OF YOUR BONUS THAT MAY BE GRANTED IN 1996, YOU MUST 
   COMPLETE AND RETURN THE ATTACHED INCENTIVE CASH BONUS DEFERRAL FORM TO ME 
   BY DECEMBER 8, 1995. NO DEFERRAL ELECTION THAT IS RECEIVED AFTER THAT DATE 
   WILL BE HONORED.

        The basic terms of the bonus deferral program are as follows:


        1.   You may defer any dollar amount or percentage of your annual bonus.

        2.   The deferral decision must be made by completing and returning an
   Incentive Cash Bonus Deferral Form prior to the end of the calendar year to
   which the bonus relates.  For administrative purposes, a decision to defer a
   cash bonus that is granted in 1996 (if any) must be made by December 8, 1995.

        3.   You may invest your deferred bonus, on paper, in any of the
   investments that are available under the Company's Savings Plan.  Your
   deferred bonus will be adjusted, up or down, to reflect the investment
   performance of these hypothetical investment options.  NOTE THAT YOUR ACCOUNT
   IS UNFUNDED, YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS TO ANY SPECIFIC ASSETS OF THE COMPANY,


<PAGE>
Page
November 10, 1995

 
   AND YOU ARE A GENERAL CREDITOR OF THE COMPANY WITH YOUR BENEFITS PAYABLE ONLY
   FROM THE GENERAL ASSETS OF THE COMPANY.

        4.   While you are employed by the Company, you may reallocate your
   investments once a month, with a minimum reallocation of 30% of your account
   balance or $500, whichever is less.  After you terminate employment, you may
   reallocate your investments once a year on the anniversary of your
   termination, subject to the same minimums.  Reallocations will be effective
   as of the first day of the following month.

        5.   With respect to each bonus deferral, you will specify a future date
   on which distribution of the bonus, as adjusted for all related earnings or
   losses, is to commence, either the first day of any future calendar quarter
   or upon termination of employment, whichever occurs first.  Once the election
   is made, you may not begin to receive the bonus on an earlier or later date
   except as provided in paragraphs 7, 8 and 9 below.

        6.   When you elect to defer your bonus, you also will elect the form of
   payment when the bonus is distributed to you.  You may choose to receive the
   distribution in a lump sum or in up to 10 annual installment payments.  While
   you are employed by the Company, you may change the form of payment for a
   scheduled distribution if you do so at least one year before the scheduled
   date.

        7.   Disability receives special treatment.  With respect to each bonus
   deferral, you may elect whether to receive a distribution if you become
   totally disabled and, if so, whether the distribution is to be in a lump sum
   or in annual installments (up to 10).  You are considered to be totally
   disabled if you meet the standards under the Company's Long-Term Disability
   Plan or any successor plan.

        8.   Your account balance will be distributed in a lump sum upon your
   death.

        9.   With the consent of the Plan Administrator, you may receive a
   distribution if a severe financial hardship occurs as a result of an
   unanticipated emergency and no alternative funds are available.  You may not
   receive a loan against your account.

        10.  You may select anyone as your beneficiary, and you may name
   alternate beneficiaries.  If you die before all payments are made to you
   under the Plan, your beneficiary(ies) will receive a lump sum payment of your
   account balance.
<PAGE>
Page 
November 10, 1995
 
   If all of your named beneficiaries predecease you, your account balance will
   be paid in a lump sum to your estate.

        SEVERAL POINTS NEED TO BE EMPHASIZED.  THE PLAN IS A NONQUALIFIED,
   UNFUNDED PLAN, AND YOUR BENEFITS ARE PAYABLE ONLY FROM THE GENERAL ASSETS OF
   THE COMPANY.  THE TERMS OF THE PLAN ARE BASED ON CURRENT TAX LAWS.  IF SUCH
   LAWS CHANGE, THE TERMS OF THE PLAN MAY NEED TO BE CHANGED.

        FEDERAL TAX LAWS PROVIDE THAT YOU MAY NOT ACCRUE BENEFITS UNDER THE
   COMPANY'S QUALIFIED PENSION PLAN WITH RESPECT TO A DEFERRED BONUS.  IF YOU
   DECIDE TO DEFER A BONUS, YOU WILL, HOWEVER, ACCRUE PENSION BENEFITS RELATING
   TO THE DEFERRED BONUS IN THE SAME AMOUNT UNDER THE EXCESS PENSION PLAN
   PORTION OF THE COMPANY'S SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLAN, WHICH IS A
   NONQUALIFIED, UNFUNDED PLAN.  IN SHORT, IF YOU DEFER A BONUS, YOUR COMBINED
   PENSION BENEFIT UNDER THE QUALIFIED PENSION PLAN AND THE NONQUALIFIED EXCESS
   PENSION PLAN WILL NOT CHANGE.

        YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH YOUR COUNSEL OR PERSONAL TAX ADVISER TO
   DETERMINE THE FULL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF DEFERRING YOUR BONUS AND THE
   ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES IN YOUR PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES.  FINALLY,
   NOTHING IN THIS PLAN SHOULD BE TAKEN TO IMPLY THAT ANY INDIVIDUAL HAS A RIGHT
   TO RECEIVE A BONUS, OR ANY PARTICULAR AMOUNT.

        Please give me a call if you have any questions about how the Plan
   operates.  REMEMBER, YOU MUST RETURN THE INCENTIVE CASH BONUS DEFERRAL FORM
   TO ME BY DECEMBER 8, 1995 IF YOU WISH TO DEFER ANY BONUS THAT IS GRANTED TO
   YOU IN 1996.

   To:       

   From:     William D. Boden
             Plan Administrator

             Under one portion of The Rouse Company Supplemental Retirement 
Benefit Plan, you may defer any dollar amount or percentage of your annual 
incentive cash bonus (if any), but only if this Deferral Form is signed and 
returned to me by December 8. In addition, you must elect when and how you want 
the deferred amounts, as adjusted for all related investments earnings or 
losses, paid out to you. (For example, do you want your deferral to be paid to 
you beginning when you terminate employment, or at some specific earlier date, 
and do you want a lump sum or annual installments?) THIS ELECTION CANNOT BE 
CHANGED, EXCEPT THAT WHILE YOU ARE EMPLOYED BY THE COMPANY, YOU MAY CHANGE THE 
FORM OF PAYMENT FOR A SCHEDULED DISTRIBUTION IF YOU DO SO AT LEAST ONE YEAR 
BEFORE THE SCHEDULED DATE. For example, if you defer your bonus until July 1, 
1999, funds will be raised to you only at that time unless you terminate 
      ---------------------------------------------
employment, become totally disabled ( and you previously elected a distribution 
if you became totally disabled) or die before then.  In addition, funds may be 
released at the discretion of the Plan Administrator if a severe financial 
hardship occurs as a result of an unanticipated emergency and no alternative 
funds are available.

If you wish to defer any portion of any incentive cash bonus that may be
granted to you in 1996 for the year 1995, fill out this Deferral Form, sign
it at the bottom and return it to me.  THIS FORM MUST BE RETURNED TO ME BY
DECEMBER 8, 1995 IF IT IS TO BE EFFECTIVE FOR ANY BONUS THAT MAY BE GRANTED
TO YOU IN 1996.

This Deferral Form is only applicable to the incentive cash bonus granted to
you in 1996.  You will be provided with a new Deferral Form annually that
will permit you to defer your incentive cash bonus that is granted to you in
the following year (if any).

        incentive cash bonus that I am granted in 1996:

        ________________%

        I understand that the Medicare portion of FICA (currently 1.45%) will be
        deducted from any deferral, and that the 1.45% will be treated as
        taxable income.

   2.   DATE OF DEFERRED PAYMENT

        all related investment earnings or losses) in the following manner

             employment or the following specified date:

             of any calendar quarter (i.e., January 1, April 1, July 1 or
             October 1).

        ___  Annual installment payments beginning on the earlier to occur of my
             termination of employment or the following specified date:

             up to 10).  The specified date must be the first day of any
             calendar quarter (i.e., January 1, April 1, July 1 or October 1).

   3.   TOTAL DISABILITY

        ___  A lump sum payment.

        ___  Annual installment payments beginning when my total disability is

        ___  Follow my payment election specified in paragraph 2 above.

   4.   INVESTMENT ALLOCATION

        You may invest your deferred bonus, on paper, in any of the investments
        that are available under the Company's Savings Plan.  As with the
        Savings Plan, the minimum amount that may be allocated to any investment
        is 10%.  NOTE THAT THIS PLAN IS A NONQUALIFIED, UNFUNDED PLAN, AND
        BENEFITS ARE PAYABLE ONLY FROM THE GENERAL ASSETS OF THE COMPANY.  AS A
        RESULT, YOUR ACCOUNT IS UNFUNDED, YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS TO ANY SPECIFIC
        ASSETS OF THE COMPANY AND YOU ARE A GENERAL CREDITOR OF THE COMPANY.
        YOUR DEFERRED BONUS AND ANY INVESTMENT EARNINGS OR LOSSES ARE CREDITED
        TO YOUR ACCOUNT "ON PAPER" ONLY, UNTIL PAID.  Please indicate how you
        prefer to allocate your deferred bonus.  Your deferred bonus will be
        adjusted, up or down, to reflect the investment performance of these
        hypothetical investment options.  The Company reserves the right to
        change the options offered on a prospective basis.

        I direct that my deferred bonus be allocated among these investment
        options as follows (total must equal 100%):

             ALLOCATION          INVESTMENT OPTION

             ___________%   The Rouse Company Common Stock Fund
             ___________%   The Rouse Company Preferred Stock Fund
             ___________%   Long-Term Income Fund
             ___________%   Ariel Growth Fund
             ___________%   T. Rowe Price Prime Reserve (Money
                              Market) Fund
             ___________%   T. Rowe Price Spectrum Income Fund
             ___________%   T. Rowe Price Spectrum Growth Fund
             ___________%   T. Rowe Price New Horizons Fund
             ___________%   T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund
             ___________%   T. Rowe Price Index Fund
             ___________%   T. Rowe Price Small-Cap Value Fund
             ___________%   T. Rowe Price New America Growth Fund
             ___________%   T. Rowe Price Balanced Fund
               100%         TOTAL

             While you are employed by the Company, you may reallocate your
             investments once a month, with a minimum reallocation of 30% of
             your account balance or $500, whichever is less.  After you
             terminate employment, you may reallocate your investments once a
             year on the anniversary of your termination, subject to the same
             minimums.  Reallocations will be effective as of the first day of
             the following
<PAGE>
Page 17
Incentive Cash Bonus Deferral Form
 
             month.  To reallocate your investments, give the Director of
             Personnel (and not T. Rowe Price) a call.

   5.   BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

        You may select anyone as your beneficiary, and you may name alternate
        beneficiaries.  If you die before all payments relating to your deferred
        bonus are made to you under the Plan, then your beneficiary(ies) will
        receive a lump sum payment of your remaining deferred amounts, including
        any adjustments to those amounts as a result of investment earnings or
        losses.  If all named beneficiaries predecease you, your remaining
        deferred amounts will be paid to your estate.

        Your beneficiary election remains in effect until you change it.  To do
        so, please call the Manager of Benefits in the  Personnel Division to
        request a Change Form.

Other provisions relating to such investments (such as the minimum amount that
may be allocated to any investment) shall be the same as are provided with
respect to investments under the Savings Plan.

                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REAL ESTATE CONSULTANTS

Landauer Associates, Inc.

New York, New York 10103   

KPMG Peat Marwick LLP and                
The Board of Directors and Shareholders  
The Rouse Company:                        


   We have reviewed estimates of the market value of equity and other interests
in certain real property owned and/or managed by The Rouse Company (the Company)
and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994. The properties reviewed
at December 31, 1995 include all the projects identified as "In Operation" on
the "Projects of The Rouse Company" table on pages 58 through 62 of the Annual
Report for 1995, land held for development and sale, certain parcels of land in
development and certain other properties held for sale. The properties reviewed
at December 31, 1994 were the same, except for the properties which were aquired
or disposed of during 1995.

   The total values of its equity and other interests estimated by the Company
were $2,444,218,000 and $2,338,624,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

   Based upon our review, we concur with the Company's estimates of the total
value of the property interests appraised. In our opinion, the aggregate value
estimated by the Company varies less than 10% from the aggregate value we would
estimate in a full and complete appraisal of the same interests. A variation of
less than 10% between appraisers implies substantial agreement as to the most
probable market value of such property interests.

   The data used in our review were supplied to us in summary form by the
Company. We have relied upon the Company's interpretation and summaries of
leases, operating agreements, mortgages and partnership, joint venture and
management agreements. We have had complete and unrestricted access to all
underlying documents and have confirmed certain information by reference to such
documents. We have found no discrepancies in the data and, to the best of our
knowledge, believe all such data to be accurate and complete. The basic
assumptions used by the Company and the individual value estimates prepared by
the Company were, in our opinion, fair and reasonable. No assumption has been
made with respect to a bulk sale of the entire holdings or groups of property
interests. We have also physically inspected, within the past three years,
substantially all of the properties which were reviewed.

   We certify that neither Landauer Associates, Inc. nor the undersigned have
any present or prospective interest in the Company's properties, and we have no
personal interest or bias with respect to the parties involved. To the best of
our knowledge and belief, the facts upon which the analysis and conclusions were
based are materially true and correct. No one, other than the undersigned
assisted by members of our staff, performed the analyses and reached the
conclusions resulting in the opinion expressed in this letter. Our fee for this
assignment was not contingent on any action or event resulting from the
analysis, opinions, or conclusions in, or the use of, this review. Our review
has been prepared in conformity with the Uniform Standards of Professional
Appraisal Practice.

Sincerely,
Landauer Associates, Inc.

                      The Rouse Company and Subsidiaries
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993

(1)  Current value basis  
     financial statements

(a) Current value reporting

The Company's interests in operating properties, land held for development and
sale and certain other assets have appreciated in value and, accordingly, their
aggregate current value substantially exceeds their aggregate cost basis net
book value determined in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  The current value basis financial statements present information
about the current values to the Company of its assets and liabilities and the
changes in such values.  The current value basis financial statements are not
intended to present the current liquidation values of assets or liabilities of
the Company or its net assets taken as a whole.

  Management believes that the current value basis financial statements more
realistically reflect the underlying financial strength of the Company.  The
current values of the Company's interests in operating properties, including
interests in unconsolidated real estate ventures, represent management's
estimates of the value of these assets primarily as investments.  These values
will generally be realized through future cash flows generated by the operation
of these properties over their economic lives.  The current values of land held
for development and sale represent management's estimates of the value of these
assets under long-term development and sales programs.

  Shareholders' equity on a current value basis was $1,539,155,000 or $26.30 per
share of common stock at December 31, 1995 and $1,614,245,000 or $27.75 per
share of common stock at December 31, 1994.  The per share calculations assume
the conversion of the Preferred stock.

  The process for estimating the current values of the Company's assets and
liabilities requires significant estimates and judgments by management.  These
estimates and judgments are made based on information and assumptions considered
by management to be adequate and appropriate in the circumstances; however, they
are not subject to precise quantification or verification and may change from
time to time as economic and market factors, and management's evaluation of
them, change.

  The current value basis financial statements are an integral part of the
Company's annual report to shareholders but they are not presented as part of
the Company's quarterly reports to shareholders. The extensive market research,
financial analysis and testing of results required to produce reliable current
value information make it impractical to report this information on an interim
basis.

(b) Bases of valuation

Interests in operating properties--The current value of the Company's interests
in operating properties is the Company's share (based on its underlying
ownership interest) of each property's equity value (i.e., the present value of
its forecasted net cash flow and residual value, if applicable, after deducting
payments on debt specifically related to the property) plus the outstanding
balance of related debt.  The current value of the Company's interests in
unconsolidated real estate ventures is the present value of the Company's share
of forecasted net cash flow, including incentive management fees, and residual
value of the respective real estate ventures.

  The forecasts of net cash flow generally cover periods of eleven years, are
based on an evaluation of the history and future of each property and are
supported by market studies, analyses of tenant lease terms and projected sales
performance and detailed estimates of revenues and operating expenses.

  The present values of forecasted net cash flows are determined using internal
rates of return which vary by project and between years as investor yield
requirements change.  The resulting values recognize the considerable
differences between properties in terms of quality, age, outlook and risk as
well as the prevailing yield requirements of investors for income-producing
properties.

  Properties in development--Properties in development are carried at the same
amounts as in the cost basis financial statements except that certain parcels of
land are carried at their estimated current values.  Management believes that
properties in development have values in excess of their historical cost, but
has followed a practice of not recognizing any value increment until these
properties are completed and operating.

                                       29
<PAGE>
 
Properties held for sale--Properties held for sale are carried at their
estimated fair value less costs to sell.  Fair values are based on contract
prices, negotiations with prospective purchasers or management's estimates of
future cash flows from operations and sale of the properties, where appropriate.

Land held for development and sale--The current value of land held for
development and sale is based on the present value of forecasted net cash flows
under development and sales programs.  These programs set forth the proposed
timing and cost of all improvements necessary to bring the properties to
saleable condition, the pace and price of sales and the costs to administer the
programs and sell the properties.

Debt--Debt and obligations under capital leases specifically related to
interests in operating properties are carried at the same amount as in the cost
basis balance sheets since the value of the Company's equity interest in each
property is based on net cash flow after payments on the debt or leases. The
current values of publicly-traded debt not specifically related to interests in
properties are determined using quoted market prices. The current values of
other debt and obligations under capital leases are carried at the same amount
as in the cost basis balance sheets since the difference between the stated and
estimated market interest rates for such obligations is not material.

Deferred income taxes--Because the current value basis financial statements are
prepared on the assumption that values will generally be realized over the long-
term through operating cash flows and not through liquidation, the deferred
income tax obligation on a current value basis is the estimated present value of
income tax payments which may be made based on projections of taxable income
through 2047.  The projections of taxable income reflect all allowable
deductions permitted under the Internal Revenue Code.  The discount rates used
to compute the present value of income tax payments are based on the internal
rates of return used to compute the current values of assets, adjusted to
reflect the Company's assessment of the greater uncertainty with respect to the
ultimate timing and amounts of income tax payments.

Other assets and liabilities--Substantially all other assets and liabilities are
carried in the current value basis balance sheets at the lower of cost or net
realizable value--the same stated value as in the cost basis balance sheets.

(c) Revaluation equity
The aggregate difference between the current value basis and cost basis of the
Company's assets and liabilities is reported as revaluation equity in the
shareholders' equity section of the consolidated current value basis balance
sheets.

The components of revaluation equity at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as
follows (in thousands):

(2) Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Description of business

The Company acquires, develops and/or manages income-producing properties
located throughout the United States and develops and sells land for
residential, commercial and other uses, primarily in Columbia, Maryland.  The
income-producing properties consist of retail centers, office buildings and
mixed-use and other properties.  The retail centers produce over 70% of the
Company's revenues and are primarily regional shopping centers in suburban
market areas.  Retail centers also include specialty marketplaces in certain
downtown areas and several village centers in Columbia.  The office, mixed-use
and other properties produce over 20% of the Company's revenues.  The office
properties are primarily suburban buildings in the Columbia and Baltimore market
areas or components of large-scale mixed-use properties located in urban markets
which also include retail, parking and other uses.  Land development and sales
operations produce about 5% of the Company's annual revenues and are
predominantly related to large-scale, long-term community developments.

(b) Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Rouse Company,
all subsidiaries and partnerships in which it has a majority interest and
control and the Company's proportionate share of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses of unincorporated real estate ventures in which it has joint
interest and control with other venturers.  Investments in other ventures are
accounted for using the equity or cost methods as appropriate in the
circumstances.  Significant intercompany balances and transactions are
eliminated in consolidation.

  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingencies at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses
recognized during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

  Certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform with the
presentation for 1995.

(c) Property

Properties to be developed or held and used in operations are carried at cost
reduced for impairment losses, where appropriate, based on estimated
undiscounted future cash flows.  Properties held for sale are carried at cost
reduced for applicable valuation allowances.  Acquisition, development and
construction costs of operating properties, properties in development and land
development projects are capitalized including, where applicable, salaries and
related costs, real estate taxes, interest and pre-construction costs.  The pre-
construction stage of development of an operating property (or an expansion of
an existing property) includes efforts and related costs to secure land control
and zoning, evaluate feasibility and complete other initial tasks which are
essential to development. These costs are transferred to construction and
development in progress when the pre-construction tasks are completed. Provision
is made for potentially unsuccessful pre-construction efforts by charges to
operations. Costs of significant improvements, replacements and renovations at
operating properties are capitalized, while costs of maintenance and repairs are
expensed as incurred. Certain costs associated with financing and leasing of
operating properties are capitalized as deferred costs and amortized over the
periods benefited by the expenditures.

  Depreciation of operating properties is computed using the straight-line
method. The annual rate of depreciation for most of the Company's retail centers
is based on a 55 year composite life and a salvage value of approximately 10%,
producing an effective annual rate of depreciation for new properties of 1.8% of
depreciable cost. The other retail centers, all office buildings and other
properties are generally depreciated using composite lives ranging primarily
from 40 years to 50 years, producing effective annual rates of depreciation for
such properties ranging from 2.5% to 2.0%.

  Properties held for sale are carried at the lower of cost less accumulated
depreciation or estimated net realizable value.  Operating properties are
classified as properties held for sale when marketing of the properties for sale
is authorized by management.

  In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of."  Statement No. 121
establishes new standards for measurement and recognition of impairment of long-
lived assets.  The Statement will be effective with respect to the Company in
1996 and initial adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the
financial position or results of operations reported by the Company.

(d) Sales of property

Gains from sales of operating properties and revenues from land sales are
recognized using the full accrual method provided that various criteria relating
to the terms of the transactions and any subsequent involvement by the Company
with the properties sold are met.  Gains or revenues relating to transactions
which do not meet the established criteria are deferred and recognized when the
criteria are met or using the installment or cost recovery methods, as
appropriate in the circumstances.  For land sale transactions under terms of
which the Company is required to perform additional services and incur
significant costs after title has passed, revenues and costs of sales are
recognized proportionately on a percentage of completion basis.

  Cost of land sales is generally determined as a specified percentage of land
sales recognized for each land development project.  The cost percentages used
are based on estimates of development costs and sales revenues to completion of
each project and are revised periodically for changes in estimates or in
development plans.  The specific identification method is used to determine cost
of sales of certain parcels of land.

(e) Leases

Leases which transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership to
tenants are considered finance leases and the present values of the minimum
lease payments and the estimated residual values of the leased properties, if
any, are accounted for as receivables.  Leases which transfer substantially all
the risks and benefits of ownership to the Company are considered capital leases
and the present values of the minimum lease payments are accounted for as
property and debt.  Direct costs of negotiating and consummating tenant leases
are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases.

  In general, minimum rent revenues are recognized when due from tenants;
however, estimated collectible minimum rent revenues under leases which provide
for varying rents over their terms are averaged over the terms of the leases.

(f) Income taxes

Deferred income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method.
Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary
differences between the financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards
based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are
realized or settled.  However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the
extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized based on
consideration of available evidence, including tax planning strategies and other
factors.  The effects of changes in tax laws or rates on deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.

(g) Investments in marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents

Investments with maturities at dates of purchase in excess of three months are
classified as marketable securities and carried at amortized cost as it is the
Company's intention to hold these investments until maturity.  Short-term
investments with maturities at dates of purchase of three months or less are
classified as cash equivalents, except that any such investments purchased with
the proceeds of loans which may be expended only for specified purposes are
classified as investments in marketable securities.  At December 31, 1995 and
1994, investments in marketable securities consist primarily of U.S. government
and agency obligations with maturities of less than one year and include
$2,910,000 and $2,001,000, respectively, which are held for restricted uses.

(h) Interest rate exchange agreements

The Company makes limited use of interest rate exchange agreements, including
interest rate caps and swaps, primarily to manage interest rate risk associated
with variable rate debt.  Under interest rate cap agreements, the Company makes
initial premium payments to the counterparties in exchange for the right to
receive payments from them if interest rates on the related variable rate debt
exceed specified levels during the agreement period.  Premiums paid are
amortized to interest expense over the terms of the agreements using the
interest method and payments receivable from the counterparties are accrued as
reductions of interest expense.  Under interest rate swap agreements, the
Company and the counterparties agree to exchange the difference between fixed
rate and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to specified
notional principal amounts during the agreement period.  Notional principal
amounts are used to express the volume of these transactions, but the cash
requirements and amounts subject to credit risk are substantially less.  Amounts
receivable or payable under swap agreements are accounted for as adjustments to
interest expense on the related debt.

Parties to interest rate exchange agreements are subject to market risk for
changes in interest rates and risk of credit loss in the event of nonperformance
by the counterparty.  The Company deals only with highly rated financial
institution counterparties (which, in certain cases, are also the lenders on the
related debt) and does not expect that any counterparties will fail to meet
their obligations.

(i) Other information about financial instruments

Fair values of financial instruments approximate their carrying value in the
financial statements except for debt and related interest rate exchange
agreements for which fair value information is provided in note 11.

(j) Earnings (loss) per share of common stock

Earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net earnings
(loss), after deducting dividends on Preferred stock, by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.  The numbers of
shares used in the computations were 47,814,000 for 1995, 47,565,000 for 1994
and 47,411,000 for 1993.  Common stock equivalents have not been used in
computing earnings (loss) per common share because their effects are not
material or are anti-dilutive.

(k) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company uses the intrinsic value method to account for stock-based employee
compensation plans.  Under this method, compensation cost is recognized for
awards of shares of common stock to employees only if the quoted market price of
the stock at the grant date (or other measurement date, if later) is greater
than the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock. In October 1995, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Statement No. 123
permits companies to adopt a new fair value based method to account for stock-
based employee compensation plans or to continue using the intrinsic value
method. If the intrinsic value method is used, information concerning the pro
forma effects on net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share of common
stock of adopting the fair value based method is required to be presented in the
footnotes to the financial statements. The Statement also requires additional
footnote disclosures about stock-based employee compensation arrangements,
regardless of the method used to account for them. The Company intends to
continue using the intrinsic value method to account for its stock-based
employee compensation plans and will provide the pro forma and additional
disclosures about the plans in its 1996 financial statements, as required by
Statement No. 123.

(3)  Real estate ventures

The Company has joint interest and control with other venturers in various
operating properties which are accounted for using the proportionate share
method.  These projects are managed by the Company.  The consolidated financial
statements include the Company's proportionate share of its historical cost of
these projects and depreciation based on the Company's depreciation policies
which differ, in certain cases, from those of the joint ventures.

      Credit risk with respect to receivables from tenants is not highly
concentrated due to the large number of tenants and the geographic
diversification of the Company's operating properties. The Company performs in-
depth credit evaluations of prospective new tenants and requires security
deposits in certain circumstances. Tenants' compliance with the terms of their
leases is monitored closely, and the allowance for doubtful receivables is
established based on analyses of the risk of loss on specific tenant accounts,
historical trends and other relevant information. Notes receivable relate
primarily to sales of land and operating properties and are generally secured by
first liens on the related properties.

(9)  Pension plans
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan (the "funded plan") covering
substantially all employees.  The Company's policy is to fund, at a minimum,
current service costs and amortization of unfunded accrued liabilities subject
to the limits of the Internal Revenue Code.  In addition, the Company has
separate, non-qualified unfunded retirement plans (the "unfunded plans")
covering employees whose defined benefits exceed the limits of the funded plan
and directors.  Benefits under the pension plans are based on the participants'
years of service and compensation.

  The net pension cost includes the following components (in thousands):

  The projected benefit obligations for the plans were determined using discount
rates of 7.25%, 8.875% and 7.5% in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The rate
of compensation increases assumed was 4.5% in 1995, 1994 and 1993.  The expected
long-term rate of return on plan assets of the funded plan was 11% in 1995, 1994
and 1993.  The assets of the funded plan consist primarily of pooled separate
accounts with an insurance company and marketable equity securities.

The weighted average discount rates used to determine the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation were 7.25%, 8.875% and 7.5% in 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively.  The transition obligation at January 1, 1993 is being
amortized to postretirement benefit cost over 20 years.  Because the Company's
contributions are fixed, health care cost trend rates do not affect the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation.

(11)  Debt
In recognition of the various characteristics of real estate financing, debt is
classified as follows:
(a)  "Property debt not carrying a Parent Company guarantee of repayment" which
     is subsidiary company debt having no express written obligation which would
     require the Company to repay the principal amount of such debt during the
     full term of the loan (nonrecourse loans); and
(b)  "Parent Company debt and debt carrying a Parent Company guarantee of
     repayment" which is debt of the Company and
     subsidiary company debt with an express written obligation of the Company
     to repay the principal amount of such debt during the full term of the loan
     (Company and recourse loans).

With respect to property debt not carrying a Parent Company guarantee of
repayment, the Company has in the past and may in the future, under some
circumstances, support those subsidiary companies whose annual obligations,
including debt service, exceed operating revenues.  At December 31, 1995 and
1994, property debt not carrying a Parent Company guarantee of repayment
includes $443,440,000 and $675,825,000, respectively, of mortgages and bonds
relating to operating properties of subsidiary companies which are subject to
agreements with lenders requiring the Company to provide support for operating
and debt service costs, where necessary, for defined periods or until specified
conditions relating to the operating results of the properties are met.

Mortgages and bonds are secured by deeds of trust or mortgages on properties and
general assignments of rents.  This debt matures in installments through 2025
and, at December 31, 1995, bears interest at a weighted average effective rate
of 8.70%, including lender participations.  At December 31, 1995, approximately
$589,641,000 of this debt is subject to payment of additional interest based on
the operating results of the related properties in excess of stated levels.  In
addition, certain of such debt provides for payments to lenders of shares of the
related properties' residual values, if any, upon sale or refinancing or at
maturity.

The convertible subordinated debentures bear interest at 5.75% and mature in
2002.  The debentures are convertible into one share of common stock for each
$28.63 of par value.

The Company has registered $150,000,000 of unsecured, medium-term notes which
may be issued to the public from time to time through February 1997.  The notes
may be issued, subject to market conditions, for varying terms (nine months to
30 years) and at fixed or variable interest rates based on market indices at the
time of issuance.  The notes outstanding at December 31, 1995, mature at various
dates from 1996 to 2015, bear interest at a weighted average effective rate of
7.68% (including an average rate of 6.61% on $38,800,000 of variable rate notes)
and have a weighted average maturity of 6.5 years.

Other loans include $120,000,000 of 8.5% unsecured notes due in 2003, various
property acquisition and land loans and certain other borrowings. These loans
include aggregate unsecured borrowings of $229,372,000 and $259,751,000 at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and at December 31, 1995, bear
interest at a weighted average effective rate of 8.61%.

Approximately $65,000,000 of nonrecourse debt maturing in 1996 relates to a
retail center mortgage due in August.  The Company expects to refinance this
mortgage on a long-term basis at or prior to its scheduled maturity.

At December 31, 1995, the Company had entered into interest rate cap agreements
which expire in December 1996 and April 1997.  These agreements limit the
average interest rate on $58,250,000 of mortgages to 9.86% through April 1997
and limit the interest rate on advances up to $55,000,000 under a line of credit
to 11.55% through December 1996.

The interest rate swap agreements outstanding at December 31, 1995 were not
material.  Interest rate exchange agreements did not have a material effect on
the weighted average effective interest rates on debt at December 31, 1995 and
1994 or interest expense for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.

Total interest costs were $219,838,000 in 1995, $220,971,000 in 1994 and
$219,705,000 in 1993 of which $6,875,000, $7,388,000 and $8,899,000 were
capitalized, respectively.

During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company incurred extraordinary losses, related
to extinguishments of debt prior to scheduled maturity or required partial early
redemptions of debt, of $13,278,000, $6,824,000 and $12,322,000, respectively,
less related deferred income tax benefits of $4,647,000, $2,377,000 and
$4,271,000, respectively.  The sources of funds used to pay the debt and fund
the prepayment penalties, where applicable, included refinancings of properties
in each of the three years, issuance of the medium-term notes and the Company-
obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities in 1995 and issuance of
the 8.5% unsecured notes and Preferred stock in 1993.

At December 31, 1995, the Company had available unused lines of credit totaling
$158,920,000.  The agreements relating to certain of the lines of credit, the
8.5% unsecured notes, the medium-term notes and certain other loans impose
limitations on the Company.  The most restrictive of these limit the Company's
ability to incur certain types of additional debt if the Company does not
maintain specified debt service coverage ratios. The agreements also impose
restrictions on sale, lease and certain other transactions, subject to various
exclusions and limitations. These restrictions have not limited the Company's
normal business activities.

In accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107,
"Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," the estimated fair
value of debt is determined based on quoted market prices for publicly-traded
debt and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made for other
debt.  The discount rates used approximate current market rates for loans or
groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality.  The estimated
future payments include scheduled principal and interest payments, cash flows
under interest rate exchange agreements, where applicable, and lenders'
participations in operating results and residual values of the related
properties, where applicable.  The carrying amount and estimated fair value of
the Company's debt at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 are summarized as
follows (in thousands):

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, are subjective in
nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment.
Settlement of the Company's debt obligations at fair value may not be possible
and may not be a prudent management decision.

(12) Company-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities

The redeemable preferred securities consist of 5,500,000 Cumulative Quarterly
Income Preferred Securities (preferred securities), with a liquidation amount of
$25 per security, which were issued in November 1995 by a statutory business
trust that is wholly-owned by the Company.  The trust used the proceeds of the
preferred securities and other assets to purchase at par $141,753,000 of junior
subordinated debentures (debentures) of the Company due in November 2025, which
debentures are the sole assets of the trust.

Payments to be made by the trust on the preferred securities are dependent on
payments that the Company has undertaken to make, particularly the payments to
be made by the Company on the debentures.  Compliance by the Company with these
undertakings, taken together, would have the effect of providing a full,
irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of the trust's obligations under the
preferred securities.

Distributions on the preferred securities are payable from interest payments
received on the debentures and are due quarterly at a rate of 9.25% of the
liquidation amount, subject to deferral for up to five years under certain
conditions.  Distributions payable are included 

                                       39
<PAGE>
 
in operating expenses. Redemptions of the preferred securities are payable at
the liquidation amount from redemption payments received on the debentures. The
Company may redeem the debentures at par at any time after November 27, 2000,
but redemptions at or prior to maturity are payable only from the proceeds of
issuance of capital stock of the Company or of securities substantially
comparable in economic effect to the preferred securities.

</TABLE>

  The net operating losses carried forward from December 31, 1995 for Federal
income tax purposes aggregate approximately $538,000,000.

  As indicated above, the deferred tax assets relate primarily to operating loss
carryforwards for Federal income tax purposes.  These loss carryforwards will
begin to expire in 1998, and the ultimate realization of these assets is
dependent upon the generation of sufficient future taxable income to use the
loss carryforwards before they expire.  Based on the scheduled reversal of the
deferred tax liabilities (particularly those relating to depreciation of
property) and projections of future taxable income over the loss carryforward
period, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company
will realize the benefits of the operating loss carryforwards at December 31,
1995.  The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be
reduced, however, if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

  The provision for a litigation judgment in 1995 relates to the matter
involving a former tenant at the Riverwalk Shopping Center discussed in note 19.

  The net loss on operating properties in 1995 relates primarily to provisions
for losses recognized on retail centers the Company decided to sell
($15,589,000). These provisions were partially offset by a gain on disposition
of a retail center ($2,379,000).

  The net loss on operating properties in 1994 relates primarily to losses
incurred on dispositions of interests in two retail centers, a hotel and an
office building ($8,045,000) and a provision for loss on an industrial building
($2,212,000).  These losses were partially offset by a gain on disposition of an
interest in a retail center the Company continues to manage ($2,761,000).

  The net loss on operating properties in 1993 relates to a provision for loss
recognized on a retail center.  This loss was recognized based on management's
determination that the Company would not continue to support the property under
the arrangements with the lenders, public authorities and others involved and
that it was unlikely that the Company would fully recover its investment in the
property based on forecasts of future cash flows.

(16) Series A Convertible Preferred stock

The Company has authorized issuance of 50,000,000 shares of Preferred stock of
1c par value per share of which 4,505,168 shares have been classified as Series
A Convertible Preferred.  At December 31, 1995 and 1994, 4,505,009 and 4,505,041
shares, respectively were issued.  The Company sold 4,025,000 shares of the
Series A Convertible Preferred stock in a public offering in 1993 and issued
480,168 shares valued at $23,000,000 in 1994 in connection with a modification
of terms of a debt agreement related to a retail center.  The shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred stock have a liquidation preference of $50 per share and
earn dividends at an annual rate of 6.5% of the liquidation preference.  At the
option of the holders, each share of Preferred stock is convertible into shares
of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate of approximately 2.35 shares
of common stock for each share of Preferred stock, subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances.  In addition, beginning March 1, 1996, the shares of
Preferred stock are redeemable for shares of common stock at the option of the
Company, subject to certain conditions.

(17)  Common stock

At December 31, 1995, shares of authorized and unissued common stock are
reserved as follows: (a) 2,471,580 shares for issuance under the Company's stock
option and stock bonus plans; (b) 4,540,692 shares for conversion of the
convertible subordinated debentures; (c) 10,600,020 shares for the conversion of
the Preferred stock; and (d) 500,000 shares for exercise of the warrants issued
to Trizec Investments Corporation discussed below.

  Under the Company's stock option plans, options to purchase shares of common
stock and stock appreciation rights may be awarded to officers and employees.
Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of
the common stock on the date of grant and typically vest over a three- to five-
year period, subject to certain conditions.  The Company has not granted any
stock appreciation rights.  A summary of changes in the outstanding stock
options under the stock option plans is as follows:

Options to purchase 1,229,000 shares are exercisable at December 31, 1995 at
prices ranging from $13.50 to $27.00 per share.

Under the Company's stock bonus plans, shares of common stock may be awarded to
officers and employees.  Shares awarded under the plans are typically subject to
forfeiture restrictions which lapse at defined annual rates.  In connection with
the stock bonus plan awards, the Company typically makes loans to the recipients
for the payment of related income taxes, which loans are forgiven in
installments subject to the recipients' continued employment.  The total loans
outstanding at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $3,829,000 and $2,620,000,
respectively.  The Company recognizes any forgiven loan installments,
amortization of the fair value of the stock awarded and certain related costs as
compensation costs over the terms of the awards.  Such costs amounted to
$2,763,000 in 1995, $1,663,000 in 1994 and $2,415,000 in 1993.

In 1992, seven investors acquired 8,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock
in a private placement from Trizec Investments Corporation (Trizec).  Stock
warrants allowing Trizec to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at a price
of $18 per share until September 1997 were issued by the Company to facilitate
the transaction.

(18)  Leases

The Company, as lessee, has entered into operating leases expiring at various
dates through 2076.  Rents under such leases aggregated $9,421,000 in 1995,
$11,927,000 in 1994 and $17,483,000 in 1993, including contingent rents, based
on the performance of the related properties, of $3,644,000, $6,232,000 and
$10,006,000, respectively.  In addition, real estate taxes, insurance and
maintenance expenses are obligations of the Company.  The minimum rent payments
due under operating leases in effect at December 31, 1995 are summarized as

Space in the Company's operating properties is leased to approximately 6,300
tenants.  In addition to minimum rents, the majority of the retail center leases
provide for percentage rents when the tenants' sales volumes exceed stated
amounts, and the majority of the retail center and office leases provide for
other rents which reimburse the Company for certain of its operating expenses.

Certain of the Company's tenant leases are accounted for as finance leases since
the terms of the leases transfer substantially all of the risks and benefits of
ownership to the tenants.  Rents under such leases aggregated $8,780,000 in
1995, $8,511,000 in 1994 and $6,601,000 in 1993.  The minimum rent payments to
be received from tenants under finance leases are approximately $8,900,000 in
each of the next five years. The net investment in finance leases at December

(19) Other commitments and contingencies

Commitments for the construction and development of properties in the ordinary
course of business and other commitments not set forth elsewhere amount to
approximately $10,000,000 at December 31, 1995.

At December 31, 1995, subsidiaries of the Company had contingent liabilities of
approximately $25,138,000 with respect to future minimum rents under long-term
lease obligations of certain joint ventures and approximately $18,000,000 with
respect to bank letters of credit issued to secure their obligations under
certain agreements.  In addition, the Company had contingent liabilities with
respect to debt of certain joint ventures aggregating approximately $37,454,000.

On November 6, 1990, Robert P. Guastella Equities, Inc. ("Plaintiff"), a former
tenant at the Riverwalk Shopping Center in New Orleans, Louisiana ("Riverwalk"),
which is owned and operated by New Orleans Riverwalk Associates, an affiliate of
the Company ("NORA"), filed suit in the Civil District Court of Orleans Parish,
Louisiana against NORA, the Company, two Company affiliates, and a partner of
NORA (collectively, "Defendants").  Plaintiff alleges that Defendants breached
Plaintiff's lease agreement with NORA for the operation of a restaurant at
Riverwalk and that as a result of these breaches 

                                       44
<PAGE>
 
it suffered losses and could not pay the rentals due under the lease agreement,
as a result of which the lease and its tenancy were terminated by NORA.
Plaintiff sought damages of approximately $600,000 for these alleged breaches.
In addition, on September 3, 1992, Plaintiff claimed $33,000,000 for alleged
lost future profits which it claimed it would have earned had its lease not been
terminated. The Defendants filed answers denying the claims of Plaintiff and
asserting other defenses. NORA also asserted a counterclaim against Plaintiff
and its individual guarantors for past due rentals and other charges in the
approximate amount of $300,000 plus interest and attorneys' fees as provided for
in the lease agreement. The case was tried before a jury and, on October 28,
1993, the jury returned a verdict against Defendants upon which judgment was
entered by the trial court on January 7, 1994, in the total net amount of
approximately $9,128,000 (including a net award for lost future profits of
approximately $8,640,000) plus interest and attorneys' fees. On May 6, 1994, the
trial court denied all post-trial motions of both Plaintiff and Defendants. The
trial court also entered an amended judgment in which it awarded the Plaintiff
$450,000 in attorneys' fees and awarded Defendants $25,000 in attorneys' fees.

On May 23, 1994, Defendants appealed this judgment to the Louisiana Court of
Appeal, Fourth Circuit.  On November 16, 1995, the Louisiana Court of Appeal
reduced the judgment by $240,000, but otherwise affirmed the damage award to
Plaintiff.  Defendants subsequently filed a motion for reconsideration with the
Louisiana Court of Appeal, which was denied on December 19, 1995.  On January
18, 1996, Defendants filed a petition requesting the Louisiana Supreme Court to
consider a further appeal of this judgment.

The Company recorded in the fourth quarter of 1995 a pre-tax provision in the
amount of $12,321,000, representing the full amount of the modified award
(including attorneys' fees) plus interest, less pre-tax provisions previously
recorded totaling $1,150,000.

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in various other
litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which
involve claims for damages that are substantial in amount.  Some of these
litigation matters are covered by insurance.  In the opinion of management,
adequate provision has been made for losses with respect to all litigation
matters, where appropriate,  and the ultimate resolution of all such litigation
matters is not likely to have a material effect on the consolidated financial
position of the Company.  Due to the Company's modest and fluctuating net
earnings (loss) it is not possible to predict whether the resolution of these
matters is likely to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated net
earnings (loss) and it is, therefore, possible that the resolution of these
matters could have such a material effect in any future quarter or fiscal
year.

(20) Possible acquisition of The Hughes Corporation and related matters

On February 22, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved the terms of
agreements to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock
of The Hughes Corporation and the ownership interests of stockholders of The
Hughes Corporation in an affiliated partnership (together "Hughes").  The assets
of Hughes consist primarily of a regional shopping center and a large-scale,
master-planned community in Las Vegas, Nevada, four large-scale, master-planned
business parks and various other properties in Nevada and Southern California.
The total purchase cost is approximately $520,000,000 consisting primarily of
debt to be assumed or incurred in connection with the acquisition (including
$10,000,000 payable to the owners of Hughes) and shares of common stock of the
Company valued at $176,400,000.  Additional shares of common stock of the
Company may be issued to the owners of Hughes subsequent to closing based on the
values of certain specified assets at various termination dates from 2001 to
2010 and the cash flows generated from development and/or sale of those assets
prior to the termination dates. The acquisition will be accounted for using the
purchase method and is expected to close in the second quarter of 1996. However,
the transactions are conditional upon approval by the requisite vote of the 
holders of the common stock of The Hughes Corporation and certain other closing 
conditions and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that the transactions
will be consummated.

        by generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, EBDT is not
        necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, including
        the payment of dividends and should not be considered as an alternative
        to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. See the "Earnings Before

        Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on page 50 for

                      The Rouse Company and Subsidiaries
              Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
                      Condition and Results of Operations

General
The Company's primary business is the acquisition, development and management of
income-producing real estate projects.  The Company operates a diversified
portfolio of retail centers, office buildings and mixed-use and other properties
located throughout the United States.  In addition, the Company develops and
sells land for residential, commercial and other uses, primarily in Columbia,
Maryland.

Management believes that the Company's financial position is sound and that its
liquidity and capital resources are adequate.  As shown in the supplemental
current value basis financial statements, current value shareholders' equity,
which is an important indication of the Company's financial strength, was $1.54
billion at December 31, 1995, slightly down from $1.61 billion at December 31,
1994.

The Company has continued to achieve strong financial results in recent periods,
despite the generally difficult environment for retail businesses.  Earnings
before depreciation and deferred taxes (EBDT), which is defined and discussed in
detail below, increased 14% in 1995 and 21% in 1994, including increases of 12%
and 19%, respectively, in EBDT from retail centers.  These results have been
made possible by several factors, including strong performances from the
Company's larger, major market retail centers, expansions of certain retail
centers and retail centers in which the Company has acquired ownership
interests, consistently good earnings from land sales and operating properties
in Columbia, refinancing of a significant amount of project-related debt at
lower interest rates and, to a lesser extent, dispositions or modifications of
the terms of agreements relating to properties which were incurring losses
before depreciation and deferred taxes.

Management believes that the outlook is for continued satisfactory growth in
EBDT from existing properties.  Prospects for growth in EBDT from land sales and
office/mixed-use properties in 1996 are good given the solid or improving
conditions in the major markets in which the Company operates.  EBDT from retail
centers is also expected to grow in 1996, although the rate of growth is
expected to slow given the continued difficult retailing environment.  The
planned acquisition of The Hughes Corporation (Hughes) will allow the Company to
capitalize on its existing strengths in retail and office/mixed-use projects and
large-scale land development projects and to establish a significant presence in
the fast-growing Las Vegas market. The acquisition is scheduled to close in the
second quarter of 1996 and is expected to contribute significantly to the growth
in EBDT in 1996. For the longer term, the Company intends to focus its
development efforts on Columbia, the assets acquired in the purchase of Hughes,
opportunities to expand and/or revitalize existing retail centers and new
projects in growing markets which have not had excessive retail development. The
Company will also continue to selectively dispose of retail centers that do not
appear to have future prospects consistent with the Company's objectives,
particularly smaller centers in smaller markets. The objective is to refine and
continually upgrade the portfolio so that it is comprised of top tier properties
that will produce consistently strong increases in earnings and current values.

Operating Results

This discussion and analysis of operating results covers each of the Company's
four business segments as management believes that a segment analysis provides
the most effective means of understanding the Company's business.  Note 13 to
the consolidated financial statements and the information relating to revenues
and expenses in the Five Year Summary of Earnings Before Depreciation and
Deferred Taxes from Operations and Net Earnings (Loss) on page 54 should be
referred to when reading this discussion.

Operating Properties:  The Company reports the results of its operating
properties in two categories: retail centers ("retail" properties) and office,
mixed-use and other properties ("office/mixed-use" properties).

The Company's tenant leases provide the foundation for the performance of its
retail and office/mixed-use properties.  In addition to minimum rents, the
majority of retail and office tenant leases provide for other rents which
reimburse the Company for most of its operating expenses.  Substantially all of
the Company's retail leases also provide for additional rent based on tenant
sales (percentage rent) in excess of stated levels.  As leases expire, space is
re-leased, minimum rents are generally adjusted to market rates, expense
reimbursement provisions are updated and new percentage rent levels are
established for retail leases.

Most of the Company's operating properties are financed with long-term, fixed
rate, nonrecourse debt and, therefore, are not directly affected by changes in
interest rates.  Although 

                                       47
<PAGE>
 
the interest rates on this debt do not fluctuate, certain loans provide for
additional payments to the Company's lenders based on operating results and, in
some instances, a share of a property's residual value upon sale or refinancing
or at maturity.

Revenues from retail properties increased $5,205,000 in 1995 and $22,877,000 in
1994.  The increase in 1995 was attributable to the operations of expansions
opened in August 1994 and March 1995, higher effective rents on re-leased space
and purchases of ownership interests in two retail centers.  These increases
were partially offset by the effects of lower average occupancy (90.9% in 1995
compared to 92.3% in 1994), lower recoveries of operating expenses due to
expense reduction efforts and dispositions of interests in properties in the
first quarter of 1994 and second quarter of 1995.  The increase in 1994 was
attributable to the operations of expansions opened in 1994, a full year of
operations of expansions opened and properties acquired in 1993 and higher
effective rents on re-leased space.  The increase was also due to higher
occupancy levels at the Company's larger, major market retail centers and
increased lease cancellation payments received as a result of tenant
restructurings or downsizings.  These increases were partially offset by the
disposition of a retail center in the first quarter of 1994.

Total operating and interest expenses for retail properties decreased $7,661,000
in 1995 and increased $8,965,000 in 1994.  The decrease in 1995 was attributable
primarily to the effects of lower average occupancy levels, lower operating
expenses due to expense reduction efforts, lower bad debt expenses due to
recoveries of amounts previously reserved, the dispositions referred to above
and reductions in interest expense due to debt repayments and refinancings
completed in 1994 and early 1995 at certain properties.  These decreases were
partially offset by increases in expenses associated with the operations and
financing of the properties opened or acquired referred to above.  The increase
in 1994 was attributable to costs relating to expansions opened in 1994 and a
full year of operations of expansions opened and properties acquired in 1993,
higher occupancy levels at many of the Company's larger, major market retail
centers and higher interest costs related to floating rate debt.  These
increases were partially mitigated by the effects of the disposition of a retail
center in the first quarter of 1994 and to lower interest expense on fixed rate
property debt due to debt repayments and refinancings at certain properties.

Revenues from office/mixed-use properties decreased $1,606,000 in 1995 and
increased $2,540,000 in 1994.  The decrease in 1995 was attributable primarily
to dispositions of properties in the third quarter of 1994 and second quarter of
1995 and lower recoveries of operating expenses due to lower occupancy levels
and reduced operating expenses at certain projects.  These decreases were
partially offset by increased revenues at certain hotel and office properties in
Columbia due to higher occupancy levels and increases in tenant lease
cancellation payments due to tenant restructurings and downsizings.  The
increase in revenues in 1994 was attributable primarily to higher occupancy
levels at office and hotel properties and a full year of operations of
properties opened in 1993, partially offset by lower recoveries of operating
expenses at two office properties where the tenants began paying certain
operating expenses directly in 1994.

Total operating and interest expenses for office/mixed-use properties decreased
$3,324,000 in 1995 and increased $1,835,000 in 1994.  The decrease in 1995 was
attributable primarily to the dispositions of properties referred to above,
lower bad debt expense due to recoveries of amounts previously reserved and
lower operating expenses at certain projects.  These decreases were partially
offset by expenses related to the openings of two industrial buildings in
Columbia in the second quarter of 1994 and higher interest expense on a mixed-
use project.  Interest on this project's loan was lower in 1994 because the
Company exercised an option in the loan agreement to make a specified payment
and reduce the effective interest rate on the loan retroactive to the beginning
of its term.  The payment was less than the interest previously accrued, and the
difference was recorded as a reduction to interest expense in 1994.  The
increase in 1994 was due primarily to a full year of operations of properties
opened in 1993 and higher occupancy levels at office and hotel properties,
partially offset by lower operating expenses at the two office properties
referred to above.  Also, lower interest expense at certain properties due to
debt reductions and refinancings and the exercise of the interest rate reduction
option referred to above mitigated the overall increase in interest and
operating expenses in 1994.

                                       48

Land Sales:  The Company's land sales operations relate primarily to the city of
Columbia. Generally, revenues and operating income from land sales are affected
by such factors as the availability to purchasers of construction and permanent
mortgage financing at acceptable interest rates, consumer and business
confidence, availability of saleable land for particular uses and management's
decisions to sell, develop or retain land.

Land sales revenues were $33,403,000 in 1995, $35,232,000 in 1994 and
$35,313,000 in 1993.  The decrease in revenues in 1995 was due primarily to
lower sales of land for commercial/other uses in Columbia.

Land sales costs and expenses were $22,898,000 in 1995, $24,905,000 in 1994 and
$23,480,000 in 1993.  The decrease in 1995 was attributable to lower cost of
sales due to the lower land sales revenues referred to above.  The increase in
1994 was attributable primarily to higher operating and interest expenses due to
a lower level of land development activity on projects other than Columbia.

Development:  Development expenses were $7,646,000 in 1995, $6,989,000 in 1994
and $4,348,000 in 1993.  These costs consist primarily of additions to the pre-
construction reserve and new business costs.

The pre-construction reserve is maintained to provide for costs of projects in
the pre-construction phase of development, including retail center renovation
and expansion opportunities, which may not go forward to completion. Additions
to the pre-construction reserve were $3,800,000 in 1995, $3,400,000 in 1994 and
$2,900,000 in 1993. New business costs relate primarily to the initial
evaluation of potential acquisition and development opportunities. These costs
were $3,488,000 in 1995, $3,094,000 in 1994 and $953,000 in 1993. The increases
in pre-construction reserve additions and new business costs in 1995 and 1994
were attributable to the Company's more active pursuit of potential development
and acquisition opportunities.

Corporate:  Corporate revenues consist of interest income earned on temporary
investments, including investments of unused proceeds from refinancings of
certain properties.  Corporate interest income was $2,772,000 in 1995,
$2,892,000 in 1994 and $3,862,000 in 1993.  The decreases in 1995 and 1994 were
attributable primarily to lower average investment balances.

Corporate expenses consist of certain interest and operating expenses, as
discussed below, reduced by costs capitalized or allocated to other segments.
Interest is capitalized on corporate funds invested in projects under
development, and interest on the proceeds of corporate borrowings and
distributions on the proceeds of the Company-obligated mandatorily redeemable
preferred securities which are used for other segments are allocated to those
segments.  Accordingly, corporate interest expense consists primarily of
interest on the convertible subordinated debentures, the unsecured 8.5% notes
and unused proceeds from refinancings of certain properties, net of interest
capitalized on development projects or allocated to other segments, and
corporate operating expenses consist primarily of general and administrative
costs and distributions on the redeemable preferred securities, net of
distributions allocated to other segments.

Corporate interest costs were $14,032,000 in 1995, $13,934,000 in 1994 and
$18,571,000 in 1993.  Of such amounts, $3,747,000, $2,564,000, and $2,158,000,
were capitalized in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, on funds invested in
development projects.  The decrease in corporate interest costs in 1994 was
attributable primarily to redemption of a $100,000,000 issue of convertible
subordinated debentures in May 1993.  The higher level of interest capitalized
in 1995 reflects the higher level of corporate funds invested in development
projects, consistent with the Company's more active pursuit of development
opportunities.

Gain (Loss) on Dispositions of Assets and Other Provisions, Net:  The loss on
dispositions of assets and other provisions, net, for 1995 consisted primarily
of a provision for loss of $12,321,000 (recorded in the fourth quarter) on a
litigation judgment involving a former tenant as discussed in note 19 to the
consolidated financial statements and provisions for losses totaling $15,589,000
recognized on retail centers the Company decided to sell.  These losses were
partially offset by a gain of $2,379,000 related to the disposition of a retail
center.

                                       49
<PAGE>
 
The loss on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net, for 1994 consisted
primarily of losses totalling $8,045,000 incurred on dispositions of interests
in two retail centers, a hotel and an office building and a provision for loss
of $2,212,000 on an industrial building.  These losses were partially offset by
a gain of $2,761,000 on disposition of an interest in a retail center the
Company continues to manage.

The loss on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net, for 1993,
consisted primarily of a provision for loss on investment in a retail center
recorded in the fourth quarter.  This loss was recognized based on management's
determination that the Company would not continue to support the property under
the existing arrangements with lenders, public authorities and others involved
and that it was unlikely that the Company would recover all of its investment in
the property based on forecasts of future cash flows.

Extraordinary Losses, Net of Related Income Tax Benefits:  The extraordinary
losses in 1995, 1994 and 1993 resulted from early extinguishments or required
partial early redemptions of debt and aggregated $13,278,000, $6,824,000 and
$12,322,000, respectively, less deferred income tax benefits of $4,647,000,
$2,377,000 and $4,271,000, respectively.

Net Earnings (Loss):  The Company had a net loss of $2,781,000 in 1995, net
earnings of $2,159,000 in 1994 and a net loss of $9,342,000 in 1993.  The
Company's operating income (after depreciation and amortization) was $35,918,000
in 1995, $21,259,000 in 1994 and $8,841,000 in 1993.  The improvements in
operating income in 1995 and 1994 were due primarily to the factors described
above.  Net earnings (loss) for each year was affected by unusual and/or
nonrecurring items.  The most significant of these are the items discussed above
in gain (loss) on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net, and
extraordinary losses, net of related income tax benefits.

Earnings Before Depreciation and Deferred Taxes:  The Company uses a
supplemental performance measure along with net earnings (loss) to report its
operating results.  This measure, referred to as Earnings Before Depreciation
and Deferred Taxes (EBDT), is not a measure of operating results or cash flows
from operating activities as defined by generally accepted accounting
principles.  Additionally, EBDT is not necessarily indicative of cash available
to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows
as a measure of liquidity.  However, the Company believes that EBDT provides
relevant information about its operations and is necessary, along with net
earnings (loss), for an understanding of its operating results.

Depreciation and amortization are excluded from EBDT because, as shown in the
current value basis balance sheets, the Company's portfolio of operating
properties is worth substantially more than its undepreciated historical cost.
Deferred income taxes are excluded from EBDT because payments of income taxes
have not been significant and are not anticipated to become significant in the
near term.  Current Federal and state income taxes are included as reductions of
EBDT.  Gain (loss) on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net, and
extraordinary losses, net of related income tax benefits, represent unusual
and/or nonrecurring items and are therefore excluded from EBDT.  EBDT is
reconciled to net earnings (loss) in the Five Year Summary of Earnings Before
Depreciation and Deferred Taxes from Operations and Net Earnings (Loss) on page
55.

EBDT was $108,360,000 in 1995, $94,710,000 in 1994 and $78,281,000 in 1993.  The
increases in EBDT in 1995 and 1994 were due primarily to improved results from
the operating properties business segment, particularly retail properties.  The
significant changes in revenues and expenses comprising EBDT by segment are
described above.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Management believes that the current values of the Company's assets and
liabilities are the most realistic indicators of the Company's financial
strength and future profitability.  Current values of the Company's interests in
operating properties (including interests in unconsolidated real estate
ventures) and land held for development and sale represent the present values of
forecasted net operating cash flows from these properties--the Company's most
significant assets.  Since 1976, revaluation equity, the aggregate increment of
current value over cost basis net book value of the Company's assets and
liabilities, has increased at a compound annual rate of 14%.  The majority of
revaluation equity relates to larger, major 

                                       50
<PAGE>
 
market retail centers which continue to be a favored real estate investment.
However, revaluation equity decreased $23 million or 1.5% to $1.50 billion at
December 31, 1995. The decrease was due primarily to increases in the current
value of deferred income taxes (e.g., the present value of estimated future tax
payments) and the current value of publicly-traded debt not specifically related
to interests in properties. Also, the rate of increase in the current values of
properties moderated significantly in 1995 compared to 1994 and 1993. While
investors' yield requirements for top tier retail centers did not change
significantly during the year, the yield requirements for certain other
properties increased. As a result, the modest increases in values of the
Company's larger, major market retail centers in 1995 were largely offset by
decreases in the values of certain other properties. In addition, the projected
growth in cash flows was reduced for many retail centers in 1995 as compared to
1994, primarily because of slower assumed growth in tenant sales as a result of
the continued difficult retail environment.

Cost basis shareholders' equity decreased to $42,584,000 at December 31, 1995
from $95,026,000 at December 31, 1994.  The decrease was due primarily to the
payment of regular quarterly dividends on the common and Preferred stocks.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable
securities totalling $97,832,000 and $79,547,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, including $2,910,000 and $2,001,000, respectively, held for
restricted uses.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $107,001,000, $113,775,000 and
$101,149,000, in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The changes in cash
provided by operating activities were due primarily to the factors discussed
above in the analysis of operating results.  In addition, the level of net
cash provided by operating activities is affected by the timing of receipt of
revenues (including land sales proceeds) and the payment of operating and
interest expenses and land development costs.  In particular, net cash provided
by operating activities for 1995 was reduced due to payment of certain pension
obligations and other liabilities.

In 1995 and 1994, over 80% of the Company's debt consisted of mortgages and
bonds collateralized by operating properties.  Scheduled principal payments on
property debt were $36,446,000, $46,750,000 and $20,735,000 in 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively.  The decrease in 1995 was due primarily to early repayments
of property debt, and the increase in 1994 was due primarily to the effects of
refinancing certain office/mixed-use properties.  The annual maturities of debt
for the next five years include balloon payments of $75,742,000 in 1996,
$80,430,000 in 1997, $42,524,000 in 1998, $132,200,000 in 1999 and $184,330,000
in 2000.  The balloon payments for 1996 include $65,000,000 related to a retail
center mortgage due in August.  The Company expects to refinance the mortgage on
a long-term basis at or prior to its scheduled maturity.  The Company is
confident that it will be able to make the other balloon payments or arrange to
refinance or extend their maturities at or prior to their scheduled repayment
dates.

The Company has historically relied primarily on fixed rate, nonrecourse loans
from private institutional lenders to finance its operating properties and
expects that it will continue to do so in the future.  In recent years, however,
the Company has made greater use of the public capital markets to meet its
capital resource needs.  Since 1993, the Company has completed public debt and
equity offerings aggregating over $600,000,000 (including the unused portion of
the medium-term notes), the proceeds of which have been used primarily to repay
or refinance corporate and property debt and to provide liquidity and funds for
other corporate purposes.  These transactions were completed on terms which
allowed the Company to reduce its overall cost of capital while restructuring
its debt maturities and increasing its financial flexibility.  The Company is
continually evaluating sources of capital, and management believes there are
reasonable and satisfactory sources available for all requirements without
necessitating property sales.

Cash expenditures for properties in development and improvements to existing
properties funded by debt were $61,591,000, $78,628,000 and $87,243,000 in 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively.  A substantial portion of the costs of properties
in development is financed with construction or similar loans.  Typically, long-
term fixed rate debt financing is arranged concurrently with the construction
financing prior to the commencement of construction.  Management anticipates
that acceptable methods of financing development projects with fixed rate,
nonrecourse debt will continue to be available.  Improvements to 

                                       51
<PAGE>
 
existing properties funded by debt consist primarily of costs of renovation and
remerchandising programs and other capital improvement costs. The Company's
share of these costs has been financed primarily from proceeds of refinancings
of the related properties or other properties, credit line borrowings and a
portion of the proceeds of the 8.5% unsecured notes.

Cash expenditures for acquisitions of interests in properties were $28,206,000
in 1995, $94,113,000 in 1994 and $34,967,000 in 1993.  These costs were financed
primarily by nonrecourse debt.  The acquisitions in 1995 consisted of the
purchases of partnership interests in three retail centers, two of which were
financed in whole or in part by the sellers.  The acquisitions in 1994 consisted
primarily of the purchase of land underlying a retail center and the related
equity interest of the former ground lessor.  The acquisitions in 1993 consisted
primarily of purchases of partners' interests in retail properties.

The Company has available sources of capital in addition to those discussed
above.  The Company's equity interests in its operating properties, land held
for development and sale and land in development represent a source of funds
either through sales or refinancings.  The aggregate equity value of these
interests as of December 31, 1995 was approximately $2,444,000,000. The Company
also has lines of credit available totalling $158,920,000 which can be used to
fund property acquisition costs, finance other corporate needs, repay existing
indebtedness or provide corporate liquidity, subject to approval by the lenders.
In addition, the Company may issue additional medium-term notes of up to
$49,700,000 through February 1997.

The agreements relating to certain of the lines of credit, the 8.5% unsecured
notes, the medium-term notes and certain other loans impose limitations on the
Company.  The most restrictive of these limit the Company's ability to incur
certain types of additional debt if the Company does not maintain specified debt
service coverage ratios.  The agreements also impose restrictions on sale, lease
and certain other transactions, subject to various exclusions and limitations.
These restrictions have not limited the Company's normal business activities and
are not expected to do so in the foreseeable future.

Possible Acquisition of The Hughes Corporation

On February 22, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved the terms of
agreements to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock
of The Hughes Corporation and the ownership interests of stockholders of The
Hughes Corporation in an affiliated partnership.  Consummation of the 
transactions is subject to certain closing conditions. For additional
information about this transaction, refer to note 20 to the consolidated
financial statements and Exhibit 99.2 of this Form 10-K. 

New Accounting Standards

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of."  Statement No. 121
establishes new standards for measurement and recognition of impairment of long-
lived assets.  The Statement will be effective with respect to the Company in
1996 and initial adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the
financial position or results of operations reported by the Company.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation."  Statement No. 123 permits companies to adopt a new fair value
based method to account for stock-based employee compensation plans or to
continue using the intrinsic value method.  If the intrinsic value method is
used, information concerning the pro forma effects on net earnings (loss) and
earnings (loss) per share of common stock of adopting the fair value based
method is required to be presented in the footnotes to the financial statements.
The Statement also requires additional footnote disclosures about stock-based
employee compensation arrangements, regardless of the method used to account for
them.  The Company intends to continue using the intrinsic value method to
account for its stock-based employee compensations plans and will provide the
pro forma and additional disclosures about the plans in its 1996 financial
statements, as required by Statement No. 123.

Impact of Inflation

The major portion of the Company's operating properties, its retail centers, is
substantially protected from declines in the purchasing power of the dollar.
Retail leases generally provide for minimum rents plus percentage rents based on
sales over a minimum base.  Generally, increases in tenant sales (whether due to
increased unit sales or increased prices from demand or general inflation) will
result in increased rental revenue to the Company.  A substantial portion of the
tenant leases (retail and office) also provide for other rents which reimburse
the Company for certain of its operating expenses; consequently, increases in
these costs do not have a significant impact on the Company's operating results.
The Company has a significant amount of debt which, in a period of inflation,
will result in a holding gain since debt will be paid off with dollars having
less purchasing power.

Information Relating to Forward-looking Statements

This Form 10-K of the Company includes forward-looking statements which reflect
the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial

liabilities; (8) difficulties of compliance with the Americans with 
Disabilities Act; (9) competition; (10) changes in the economic climate; and 
(11) factors relating to the proposed Hughes acquisition. For a more detailed 
discussion of these factors, see Exhibit 99.2 of the Company's Form 10-K for 
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

Note: Earnings before depreciation and deferred taxes (EBDT) is not a measure of
      operating results or cash flows from operating activities as defined by
      generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, EBDT is not
      necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, including the
      payment of dividends and should not be considered as an alternative to
      cash flows as a measure of liquidity. See the "Earnings Before
      Depreciation and Deferred Taxes" section of Management's Discussion and
      Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on page 50 for a
      full discussion of EBDT.

Exhibit 99.2

                   FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

     This Form 10-K, the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders, any Form 10-Q
or any Form 8-K of the Company or any other written or oral statements made by
or on behalf of the Company includes forward-looking statements which reflect
the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial
performance.  These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties, including those discussed below that could cause actual results
to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated.  The words
"believe," "expect," "anticipate" and similar expressions identify forward-
looking statements.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates.  The Company
undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

     The following factors could cause actual results to differ materially from
historical results or those anticipated:

     Real Estate Investment Risks.  Real property investments are subject to
varying degrees of risk.  Revenues and property values may be adversely affected
by the general economic climate, the local economic climate and local real
estate conditions, including (i) the perceptions of prospective tenants of the
attractiveness of the property; (ii) the ability to provide adequate management,
maintenance and insurance; (iii) the inability to collect rent due to bankruptcy
or insolvency of tenants or otherwise; and (iv) increased operating costs.  Real
estate values may also be adversely affected by such factors as applicable laws,
including tax laws, interest rate levels and the availability of financing.

     Development Risks.  New project development is subject to a number of
risks, including risks of availability of financing, construction delays or cost
overruns that may increase project costs, risks that the properties will not
achieve anticipated occupancy levels or sustain anticipated lease levels, and
new project commencement risks such as receipt of zoning, occupancy and other
required governmental permits and authorizations and the incurrence of
development costs in connection with projects that are not pursued to
completion.

     Illiquidity of Real Estate Investments.  Real estate investments are
relatively illiquid and therefore may tend to limit the ability of the Company
to react promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions.

     Dependence on Rental Income from Real Property.  The Company's cash flow
and results of operations would be adversely affected if a significant number of
tenants were unable to meet their obligations or if the Company were unable to
lease a significant amount of space in its income-producing properties on
economically favorable lease terms.  In the event of a default by a tenant, the
Company may experience delays in enforcing its rights as lessor and may incur
substantial costs in protecting its investment.  The bankruptcy or insolvency of
a major tenant may have an adverse effect on an income-producing property.

     Effect of Uninsured Loss.  The Company carries comprehensive liability,
fire, flood, extended coverage and rental loss insurance with respect to its
properties with insured limits and
<PAGE>
 
policy specifications that it believes are customary for similar properties.
There are, however, certain types of losses (generally of a catastrophic nature,
such as wars or earthquakes) which may be either uninsurable, or, in the
Company's judgment, not economically insurable.  Should an uninsured loss occur,
the Company could lose both its invested capital in and anticipated profits from
the affected property.

     Lack of Geographical Diversification.  A significant portion of the
Company's properties is geographically concentrated.  The Company's land sales,
for instance, relate primarily to land in and around Columbia, Maryland.  These
sales are affected by the economic climate in Howard County, Maryland and the
Baltimore-Washington area, and by local real estate conditions and other
factors, including applicable zoning laws and the availability of financing for
residential development.  Similarly, most of the office/industrial buildings
that the Company manages are located in the Baltimore-Washington corridor,
including Columbia, Maryland.  Due to the geographic concentration of this
portfolio, the Company's operating results in managing these buildings depend
especially on the local economic climate and real estate conditions, including
the availability of comparable, competing office/industrial buildings.

     Environmental Matters.  Under various federal, state and local
environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or
operator of real property may become liable for the costs of the investigation,
removal and remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under, in or
migrating from such property.  Such laws often impose liability without regard
to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence
of such hazardous or toxic substances.  The presence of hazardous or toxic
substances, or the failure to remediate properly such substances when present,
may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or rent such real property or
to borrow using such real property as collateral.  Persons who arrange for the
disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic wastes may also be liable for the
costs of the investigation, removal and remediation of such wastes at the
disposal or treatment facility, regardless of whether such facility is owned or
operated by such person.  Other federal, state and local laws, ordinances and
regulations require abatement or removal of certain asbestos-containing
materials in the event of demolition or certain renovations or remodeling,
impose certain worker protection and notification requirements and govern
emissions of and exposure to asbestos fibers in the air.  Certain of the
Company's properties contain underground storage tanks which are subject to
strict laws and regulations designed to prevent leakage or other releases of
hazardous substances into the environment.  In connection with its ownership,
operation and management of such properties, the Company could be held liable
for the environmental response costs associated with the release of such
regulated substances or related claims.  In addition to clean up actions brought
by federal, state and local agencies, the presence of hazardous substances on a
property could result in personal injury or similar claims by private
plaintiffs.  Such claims could result in costs or liabilities which could exceed
the value of such property.  Notwithstanding the above, the Company has not been
notified by any private party or governmental authority of any non-compliance,
liability or other claim in connection with environmental conditions at any of
its properties that it believes will involve any material expenditure, nor is
the Company aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of its
properties that it believes will involve any material expenditure.

     Americans with Disabilities Act Compliance.  Under the Americans with
Disabilities Act (the "ADA"), all public accommodations and commercial
facilities are required to meet certain federal requirements related to access
and use by disabled persons.  These requirements became effective in 1992.  The
Company has surveyed each of its properties and believes that it is in
substantial compliance with the ADA and that it will not be required to make
substantial capital expenditures to address the requirements of the ADA.  In
addition, the Company has developed an ADA Compliance Plan and has budgeted for
and moved forward with the removal of those barriers to access that are readily
achievable.  The Company believes that implementation of its ADA Compliance Plan
will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition.

     Competition.  There are numerous other developers, managers and owners of
real estate that compete with the Company in seeking management and leasing
revenues, land for development, properties for acquisition and disposition and
tenants for properties.

     Changes in Economic Climate.  The Company's business and operating results
can be adversely affected by changes in the economic environment generally.  For
example, an increase in interest rates will affect the interest payable on the
Company's outstanding floating rate debt and may result in increased interest
expense if debt is refinanced at higher interest rates.  Moreover, in a
recessionary economy, credit conditions may be inflexible and consumer spending
conservative, which could adversely affect the Company's revenue from its retail
centers.

     Hughes Acquisition.  The consummation of the Merger and the HHPLP Merger
described in "Recent Developments" under Item 1 above is subject to the
satisfaction of many conditions, including, but not limited to obtaining
requisite THC stockholder approval of the transactions and the receipt of any
necessary regulatory and other consents from various federal and state
governmental authorities.  There can be no assurance that all or any of the
conditions to the Merger and the HHPLP Merger will be satisfied, and
accordingly, there can be no assurance that such mergers will be consummated.

     If these mergers are consummated, the Company will be assuming debt and
issuing, at the time of the mergers, a significant amount of Common Stock and
will be required under the terms of the mergers to issue additional shares of
Common Stock and/or other securities in the future based on certain formulas
relating to the cash flow and appraised value of certain assets of THC and its
subsidiaries.  In addition, the Company's results of operations could be
adversely affected by the future operating performance of the real estate assets
acquired in the mergers.  This future operating performance is subject to a
number of risks, including risks similar to those set forth above, risks
relating to the location of those real estate assets in Nevada and California
and other risks or potential risks.
