                      THE ROUSE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
                              September 30, 1998


(1) Principles of statement presentation
    ------------------------------------

    The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments
    which are necessary, in the opinion of management, to fairly reflect the
    Company's financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments
    are of a normal recurring nature. The statements have been prepared using
    the accounting policies described in the 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders,
    except that, effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the American
    Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 97-1
    "Accounting by Participating Mortgage Loan Borrowers" (see note 7).

    Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
    presentation.

(2) Tax status
    ----------

    Effective January 1, 1998, the Company determined that it would elect to be
    taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) pursuant to the Internal
    Revenue Code, as amended. In general, a corporation that distributes at
    least 95% of its REIT taxable income to shareholders in any taxable year and
    complies with certain other requirements (relating primarily to the nature
    of its assets and the sources of its revenues) is not subject to federal
    income taxation to the extent of the income which it distributes. Management
    believes the Company met the qualifications for REIT status as of September
    30, 1998, intends for it to continue to meet the qualifications in the
    future and does not expect that the Company will be liable for income taxes
    or taxes on "built-in gains" on its assets at the Federal level or in most
    states in which it operates in 1998 and future years. Accordingly, the
    provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30,
    1998 relates only to certain state income taxes.

(4) Debt, continued
    ---------------

    In July 1998, the Company obtained an $800 million unsecured line of credit
    facility to replace a $250 million revolving line of credit facility. The
    new facility is structured as a $350 million 364 day bridge loan facility
    and a $450 million three-year revolving line of credit. Repayment of any
    borrowings under the new facility is guaranteed by certain of the Company's
    majority financial interest ventures.

(5) Gain (loss) on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net
    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    The loss for the three months ended September 30, 1998 relates primarily to
    a loss on the disposal of a retail property. The loss for the nine months
    ended September 30, 1998 relates primarily to the third quarter disposal and
    losses on the sales of a hotel and office building in the first quarter. The
    loss for the nine months has been partially offset by a reduced provision
    for loss on a retail center which the Company sold in April 1998, a first
    quarter partial recovery of a loss previously recognized on a litigation
    matter, and a gain in the second quarter on the sale of an office building.

    The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 relates primarily to
    additional provisions for losses on several retail centers the Company was
    holding for sale. The gain for the three months ended September 30, 1997
    relates primarily to a reduced provision for loss on a retail center which
    the Company sold in the fourth quarter 1997.

(6) Extraordinary gain (loss), net
    ------------------------------

    The extraordinary gain and losses for the three and nine months ended
    September 30, 1998 and 1997 relate to the extinguishment of debt prior to
    the scheduled maturities. The net gain for the nine months ended September
    30, 1998 resulted from debt extinguished in connection with the transfer of
    title to a property to the related mortgage lender in the second quarter of
    1998 ($14,875,000). This gain was partially offset by losses on
    extinguishment of other debt prior to scheduled maturity ($9,285,000). One
    of the losses was incurred by a majority financial interest venture. The
    debt was related to a hotel property which the venture sold, and a portion
    of the proceeds of the sale were used to repay the debt. The loss related to
    the majority financial interest venture ($916,000) is net of related taxes.

(6) Extraordinary gain (loss), net, continued
    -----------------------------------------

    The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 ($18,957,000), is net
    of related income tax benefits of $6,635,000.

(7) Cumulative effect of change in accounting for participating mortgages
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the American Institute of
    Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 97-1 "Accounting by
    Participating Mortgage Loan Borrowers." This Statement prescribes borrowers'
    accounting for participating mortgage loans and requires, among other
    things, that borrowers recognize liabilities for the estimated fair value of
    lenders' participations in the appreciation in value (if any) of mortgaged
    real estate projects and record such participations as interest over the
    term of the related loans. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of
    initially adopting the Statement in its statement of operations for the nine
    months ended September 30, 1998. The cumulative effect of this accounting
    change at January 1, 1998 was to reduce net earnings by approximately
    $4,629,000 ($.07 per share basic and $.07 per share diluted). The effect of
    this change excluding the cumulative effect of initial adoption was not
    material (approximately $.01 per share basic and $.01 per share diluted for
    the nine months ended September 30, 1998). Ongoing application of the
    Statement will result in changes in interest expense and liabilities to
    lenders reported in the financial statements; however, because of the
    unpredictability of the timing and magnitude of changes in property values,
    it is not possible to estimate the timing, amount or direction of these
    changes.

(9) Contingencies
    -------------

    The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in various
    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
    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 resolution of these matters could have such an effect in any future
    quarter or year.

(10) Property acquisitions
     ---------------------

     On April 6, 1998, the Company and Westfield America, Inc. entered into an
     agreement to purchase a portfolio of interests in retail centers from
     TrizecHahn Centers Inc. Under terms of the agreement, as amended, and
     subject to certain terms and conditions, the Company will purchase
     interests in seven retail centers for approximately $1.1 billion. On 
     July 31, 1998, the Company purchased ownership interests in two of the
     retail centers for approximately $445 million, including debt assumed of
     approximately $193 million. In October 1998, the Company purchased
     ownership interests in four of the retail centers for approximately $433
     million, including debt assumed of approximately $223 million. The Company
     used available cash, new mortgage debt secured by one of the properties and
     borrowings under its new credit facility to fund the net purchase price of
     the retail center interests purchased in July and October 1998. In
     connection with the acquisitions, the Company decided to sell its ownership
     interests in two of the properties. One of the ownership interests the
     Company decided to sell was purchased on July 31, 1998 and accordingly, the
     Company classified the cost allocated to such ownership interest as
     Property Held for Sale in the consolidated balance sheet of September 30,
     1998. The Company expects to purchase the remaining property interest in
     December 1998.

     On June 30, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all of
     the income producing properties (office and industrial buildings) and
     certain other assets of Rouse-Teachers Properties, Inc., an entity in which
     the Company currently holds a 5% ownership interest.

(10)  Property acquisitions, continued
      --------------------------------

      The purchase price will be approximately $364 million, including property
      debt assumed of approximately $103 million. The acquisition is expected to
      close in the fourth quarter of 1998.

(11)  Shelf registration statement
      ----------------------------

      At September 30, 1998, the Company had a shelf registration statement for
      future sale of up to an aggregate of $2.25 billion (based on the public
      offering price) of common stock, Preferred stock and debt securities.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations:

                       THE ROUSE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

The following discussion and analysis covers any material changes in financial
condition since December 31, 1997 and any material changes in the results of
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to
the same periods in 1997. This discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations included in the 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders.

General:
- - ------- 

The Company's primary objective is to own and operate premier properties -
shopping centers, office and industrial buildings and major mixed-use projects-
in major markets across the United States. In order to achieve this objective,
management is actively evaluating opportunities to acquire properties owned by
others that may have future prospects consistent with the Company's long-term
investment criteria and is continually evaluating the future outlook for
properties in the Company's portfolio. This includes considering opportunities
to expand and/or renovate the properties and assessing whether particular
properties are meeting or have the potential to meet the Company's investment
criteria. The Company plans to continue making substantial investments to expand
and/or renovate leasable mall space and/or add new department stores to its
existing properties to meet its objective. The Company has sold a number of
properties over the last several years and intends to continue to dispose of
properties that are not meeting and/or are not considered to have the potential
to continue to meet its investment criteria. While disposition decisions may
cause the Company to recognize gains or losses that could have material effects
on reported net earnings (loss) in future quarters or fiscal years, they are not
anticipated to have a material effect on the overall consolidated financial
position of the Company.

Operating results:
- - ----------------- 

As indicated in the 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders, the discussion of
operating results focuses on the Company's business segments as management
believes that segment analysis provides the most effective means of
understanding the business. For purposes of comparability, the analyses of
operating results for the segments present the revenues and expenses of the
Company and consolidated subsidiaries and the Company's share of revenues and
expenses (including the other owner's share of funds from operations) of real
estate ventures in which the Company holds substantially all (at least 98%) of
the financial interest (majority interest ventures) but does not own a majority
voting interest.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations, (continued):

These majority interest ventures were initiated on December 31, 1997 when
certain wholly owned subsidiaries issued 91% of their voting stock to The Rouse
Company Incentive Compensation Statutory Trust, an entity which is neither owned
nor controlled by the Company. The majority interest ventures are accounted for
in the Company using the equity method in 1998 while the subsidiaries were
consolidated in 1997.

Operating results of retail properties are summarized as follows (in millions):

Operating Properties - Retail Centers, (continued):

Revenues from retail centers increased $16.0 million and $29.8 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively, while total
operating and interest expenses increased $12.9 million and $22.4 million,
respectively, compared to the same periods in 1997. The increases in revenues
and expenses were attributable primarily to effects of higher average occupancy
(92.5% and 91.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998,
respectively, compared to 90.8% and 89.8% for the same periods in 1997), the
operations of two properties acquired, one in the fourth quarter 1997, and one
in the third quarter 1998, the opening of a retail center expansion in the third
quarter of 1997, and the openings of five retail centers, two in the fourth
quarter of 1997, one in the first quarter of 1998 and two in the second quarter
1998. These increases were partially offset by the effects of the disposition of
interests in eight retail centers in the third and fourth quarters of 1997 and
second and third quarters of 1998.

* The Company's share of earnings before depreciation and deferred taxes and
  depreciation and amortization of real estate ventures in which it holds a
  minority financial interest are included in revenues and depreciation and
  amortization, respectively, in the summary of operating results for 1997.

Revenues from office, mixed-use and other properties decreased $4.7 million and
$4.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998,
respectively, while total operating and interest expenses decreased $5.4 million
and $7.3 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1997. The
decreases in revenues and expenses are primarily attributable to the disposition
of two hotel properties in March 1998 and six office buildings, two in the
fourth quarter 1997, three in the first quarter 1998, and one in the second
quarter 1998, partially offset by the openings of new office properties in Las
Vegas and higher average occupancy levels (93.9% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 compared to 92.1% for the same period in 1997). In addition,
the decrease in expenses for the nine months of 1998 is partially offset by a
higher provision for bad debts as the first quarter of 1997 included the
recovery of a note receivable previously reserved of approximately $800,000.

Land Sales Operations:

Land sales operations relate primarily to the communities of Columbia, Maryland
and Summerlin, Nevada. 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.

Revenues and expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 reflect the
elimination of certain land sales between the Company and the majority interest
ventures.

Revenues from land sales operations in the Hughes Operations decreased $7.9
million and increased $5.6 million for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1998, respectively, while related costs and expenses decreased $5.3 million
and increased $3.5 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1997.
The decrease in revenues for the three months relates primarily to a reduction
in sales of Summerlin ($11.6 million). The decrease in costs and expenses
relates primarily to the lower level of land sales. The increase in revenues for
the nine months relates to the sale of the remaining land at a master planned
office park in Los Angeles ($28.5 million) partially offset by lower sales of
Summerlin ($18.0 million) and other Nevada land. The increase in costs and
expenses was due to the same factors.

Land Sales Operations, (continued):

Revenues from land sales operations in Columbia decreased $7.6 and increased
$7.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998,
respectively, while related costs and expenses decreased $3.1 and increased $3.8
million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1997. The decreases in
revenues for the three month period was due primarily to lower levels of sales
for residential, commercial and other uses. The increase in revenues and costs
and expenses for the nine month period is due primarily to higher levels of
residential and commercial land sales.

Development:

Development expenses consist primarily of additions to the preconstruction
reserve and new business costs. The preconstruction reserve is maintained to
provide for costs of projects which may not go forward to completion. New
business costs relate primarily to the initial evaluation of potential
acquisition and development opportunities. The expenses decreased $2.8 million
and $.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998,
respectively, compared to the same periods in 1997. The decrease in expenses in
the three and nine months is primarily due to a reduction of the pre-
construction reserve as a large project progressed to further stages of
development, partially offset by increased acquisition costs.

Corporate:

Corporate expenses consist of certain interest and operating expenses 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 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, the medium term notes, and unallocated 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. These costs increased $.6 million and decreased $2.8 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to the same periods
in 1997. The decrease in these costs for the nine month period is attributable
primarily to higher levels of corporate funds invested in development projects
and allocated to other segments.

Corporate, continued:

Corporate revenue consists primarily of corporate interest income on cash
invested and notes receivable. The decrease in revenue of $.6 and $1.9 million
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively, relates
primarily to lower interest income on cash invested.

Gain (loss) on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net:

The loss for the three months ended September 30, 1998 relates primarily to a
loss on the disposal of a retail property. The loss for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 relates primarily to the third quarter disposal and losses on
the sales of a hotel and office building in the first quarter.

The loss for the nine months has been partially offset by a reduced provision
for loss on a retail center which the Company sold in April 1998, a first
quarter partial recovery of a loss previously recognized on a litigation matter,
and a gain in the second quarter on the sale of an office building.

The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 relates primarily to
additional provisions for losses on several retail centers the Company was
holding for sale. The gain for the three months ended September 30, 1997 relates
primarily to a reduced provision for loss on a retail center which the Company
sold in the fourth quarter 1997.

Extraordinary gain (loss), net:

The extraordinary gain and losses for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1998 and 1997 relate to the extinguishment of debt prior to the scheduled
maturities. The net gain for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 resulted
from debt extinguished in connection with the transfer of title to a property to
the related mortgage lender in the second quarter of 1998 ($14,875,000). This
gain was partially offset by losses on extinguishment of other debt prior to
scheduled maturity ($9,285,000). One of the losses was incurred by a majority
financial interest venture. The debt was related to a hotel property which the
venture sold, and a portion of the proceeds of the sale were used to repay the
debt. The loss related to the majority financial interest venture ($916,000) is
net of related taxes.

The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 ($18,957,000), is net of
related income tax benefits of $6,635,000.

Cumulative effect of change in accounting for participating mortgages:

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 97-1 "Accounting by
Participating Mortgage Loan Borrowers." This Statement prescribes borrowers'
accounting for participating mortgage loans and requires, among

Cumulative effect of change in accounting for participating mortgages
(continued):

other things, that borrowers recognize liabilities for the estimated fair value
of lenders' participations in the appreciation in value (if any) of mortgaged
real estate projects and record such participations as interest over the term of
the related loans. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially
adopting the Statement in its statement of operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. The cumulative effect of this accounting change at January
1, 1998 was to reduce net earnings by approximately $4,629,000 ($.07 per share
basic and $.07 per share diluted). The effect of this change excluding the
cumulative effect of initial adoption was not material (approximately $.01 per
share basic and $.01 per share diluted for the nine months ended September 30,
1998). Ongoing application of the Statement will result in changes in interest
expense and liabilities to lenders reported in the financial statements;
however, because of the unpredictability of the timing and magnitude of changes
in property values, it is not possible to estimate the timing, amount or
direction of these changes.

Net earnings:

Net earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997
were 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, extraordinary gain (loss), net and the cumulative effect
of change in accounting for participating mortgages. In periods prior to the
Company's decision to elect to be taxed as a REIT, net earnings (loss) was also
affected to a much greater extent by income taxes. The Company's effective tax
rate (based on earnings before income taxes and extraordinary losses) was 45%
and 52% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively.
The effective rate reflected the effects of permanent differences, primarily the
distributions payable to the former Hughes owners (or their successors) under
the Contingent Stock Agreement which are not fully deductible for income tax
purposes.

Financial condition and liquidity:

Shareholders' equity increased by $68,018,000 from December 31, 1997 to
September 30, 1998. The increase was primarily attributable to the issuance of
common stock and net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
partially offset by the payment of regular quarterly dividends on the Company's
common and Preferred stocks.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable
securities totaling $46,123,000 at September 30, 1998, including $4,021,000 of
investments held for restricted uses.

         Results of Operations, (continued):


Financial Condition and Liquidity (continued):

In July 1998, the Company obtained an $800 million unsecured line of credit
facility to replace a $250 million revolving line of credit facility. The new
facility is structured as a $350 million 364 day bridge loan facility to fund
acquisitions and a $450 million three-year revolving line of credit. Repayment
of any borrowings under the new facility is guaranteed by certain of the
Company's majority interest ventures. The revolving line of credit may be used
for various purposes, including project development costs, property
acquisitions, liquidity and other corporate needs. It may also be utilized to
pay some portion of existing debt, including maturities in 1998. At September
30, 1998, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $250 million under the line
of credit.

As of September 30, 1998, debt due in one year was $156,943,000, including
balloon maturities of $70,353,000. The Company is continually evaluating sources
of capital, and management believes there are satisfactory sources available,
including approximately $2.25 billion under its universal shelf registration
statement and $284 million available under its credit facilities as of 
October 31, 1998. Management may, however, decide to fund certain requirements
with proceeds from sales or exchanges of interests in properties.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $183,895,000 and $120,299,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase in
net cash provided of $63,596,000 was due primarily to the factors discussed
previously under the operating results of the four major business segments. The
level of net cash provided by operating activities is also affected by the
timing of receipt of revenues and payment of operating and interest expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities was $402,539,000 and $191,622,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase in net
cash used of $210,917,000 was due primarily to the purchase of the interests in
retail properties discussed previously and an increase in expenditures for
properties under development partially offset by payments received on loans to
majority financial interest ventures and higher proceeds from sales of
properties.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $173,646,000 and $59,070,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase in
net cash provided of $114,576,000 was due primarily to increased net borrowings
(approximately $302.2 million) principally to finance the purchase of interests
in retail properties and increased property development expenditures referred to
above. The increase in

Financial Condition and Liquidity (continued):

cash flow from borrowings was partially offset by reduced proceeds from equity
transactions as 1997 included the proceeds from a public offering of Series B
Convertible Preferred stock of $196.8 million.

Property acquisitions:

On April 6, 1998, the Company and Westfield America, Inc. entered into an
agreement to purchase a portfolio of interests in retail centers from TrizecHahn
Centers Inc. The agreement, as amended, provides for the Company to purchase
interests in seven retail centers for approximately $1.1 billion. The agreement
is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and includes a provision
for the substitution of, or increase or decrease in the number of, centers to be
acquired. The Company plans to fund the purchase price by assuming existing
property debt of approximately $248 million, borrowing approximately $336
million in the form of mortgage debt on the properties, borrowing on its $800
million credit facility, and, depending upon market conditions, issuing common
stock, Preferred stock, debt securities and/or other securities under its
universal shelf or other registration statements. The Company may also fund a
portion of the purchase price with the proceeds from sales of interests in
properties, including those acquired in this transaction, or the exchange of
interests in properties. On July 31, 1998, the Company purchased two of the
property interests for a purchase price of approximately $445 million,
including approximately $193 million of mortgage debt assumed. The remainder of
the purchase price was provided by available cash balances and borrowings from
the aforementioned $800 million credit facilities. In October 1998, the Company
purchased ownership interests in four of the retail centers for approximately
$433 million, including debt assumed of approximately $223 million. The Company
used available cash, proceeds from new mortgage debt secured by one of the
properties and borrowings on its new credit facilities to fund these purchases.
In connection with the acquisitions, the Company decided to sell its ownership
interests in two of the properties. One of the ownership interests the Company
decided to sell was purchased on July 31, 1998 and accordingly, the Company
classified the cost allocated to such ownership interest as Property Held for
Sale in the consolidated balance sheet of September 30, 1998. The acquisition of
the remaining property interest is expected to close in December 1998.

On June 30, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all of the
income-producing properties (office and industrial buildings) and certain other
assets of Rouse-Teachers Properties, Inc., an entity in which the Company
currently holds a 5% ownership interest. The purchase price will be
approximately $364 million, including property debt assumed of approximately
$103 million. The acquisition is expected to close in

the fourth quarter of 1998. The Company expects to fund the net purchase price
by issuing approximately $100 million in common stock and $108 million in notes
to the seller, and paying approximately $53 million in cash. The Company expects
to fund the cash payment with available cash and borrowings under its credit
facility. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 1998.

Year 2000 issue:

The year 2000 issue relates to whether computer systems will properly recognize
date-sensitive information to allow accurate processing of transactions and data
relating to the year 2000 and beyond. In addition, the year 2000 issue relates
to whether non-Information Technology (IT) systems that depend on embedded
computer technology will recognize the year 2000. Systems that do not properly
recognize such information could generate erroneous information or fail.

In 1996, the Company adopted a plan to replace virtually all of its management
information and accounting systems. This plan was adopted in the context of the
Company's long-term Information Systems strategy. In accordance with this plan,
all mission-critical IT systems are being replaced with systems that are year
2000 compliant. The Company has already implemented new financial accounting,
payroll and leasing management systems that are year 2000 compliant. Also, the
Company is in the process of implementing new property management, cash
management and human resource systems (both of which are expected to become
operational on or before January 1, 1999) which will be year 2000 compliant. In
addition, as a result of the Company's normal upgrade and replacement process,
all network and desktop equipment meet the requirements for year 2000. As a
result, the Company expects that the costs to specifically remediate year 2000
IT issues will be minimal. For non-IT systems, the Company has completed a
comprehensive review of computer hardware and software in mechanical systems and
has developed a program to repair or replace non-IT systems that are not year
2000 compliant. It is anticipated that the program will be completed in the
third quarter of 1999. Costs to specifically remediate non-IT systems (e.g.,
escalators, elevators, heating, ventilating and cooling systems, etc.) that are
non-compliant are not expected to be material. Management does not believe that
the year 2000 issue will pose significant problems in its IT or non-IT systems,
or that resolution of any potential problems with respect to these systems will
have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.

Year 2000 issue, continued:

It is very difficult to identify "the most reasonably likely worst-case
scenario" at this time. The Company's exposure is widely spread, with no known
major direct exposure. The Company believes that the most likely worst-case
exposure is at the indirect level, involving vendors, suppliers and tenants. For
example, the Company believes there could be failure in the information systems
of certain tenants that may delay the payment of rents. While it is not possible
at this time to determine the likely impact of these potential problems, the
Company will continue to evaluate these areas and develop contingency plans, as
appropriate.

Recent accounting pronouncements:

In March 1998, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board reached a consensus on Issue 97-11 relating to the accounting
for internal staff costs associated with acquisitions of operating properties.
The consensus requires that these costs be expensed (for transactions occurring
after March 19, 1998) similar to the accounting for such costs in business
combination transactions. As the Company previously followed a practice of
capitalizing certain internal staff costs relating to acquisitions of operating
properties, this consensus results in a change in accounting policy; however,
the change has not had and is not expected to have a material effect on net
earnings (loss).

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activity," (Statement 133) which is required to be adopted by the
Company no later than January 1, 2000. The Company's use of derivative
instruments has consisted primarily of interest rate swap, cap and lock
agreements related to specific debt financings. While the Company has not
completed its analysis of Statement 133 and has not made a decision regarding
the timing of adoption, it does not believe that adoption will have a material
effect on its financial position and results of operations based on of its
current use of derivative instruments.

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

                    of Teachers Properties, Inc. ("TPI") in Rouse-Teachers
                    Properties, Inc. ("Rouse-Teachers")
                    ------------------------------------------------------------


Dear Joe:

Subject to the terms and conditions of this letter, TRC agrees to enter into the
transactions contemplated by this letter agreement concerning certain of TPI's
interests in Rouse-Teachers and its affiliated partnerships (including the
partnership interests owned by Hunt Valley Title Holding Corporation, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Rouse-Teachers).  For purposes of this letter agreement, (i)
the term "Sale Properties" shall mean the income producing properties, and
certain undeveloped land, currently owned by Rouse-Teachers and such affiliates,
all as such real property is identified on Attachment I hereto (the "Sale
                                           ------------                  
Properties") and (ii) the term "RTPI" shall mean Rouse-Teachers, Hunt Valley
Title Holding Corporation, and all of the partnerships and corporations owned by
Rouse-Teachers and Hunt Valley Title Holding Corporation.

Structure of
Transaction:        All of the assets owned by RTPI other than the Sale
- - -----------         Properties (the "Retained Properties") first will be
                    distributed down to a newly-formed, wholly owned subsidiary
                    of RTPI ("LandCo"). RTPI will then convey 95% of the stock
                    of LandCo to TPI and 5% of the stock of LandCo to The Rouse
                    Company or a designee of The Rouse Company which is
                    satisfactory to TPI. TPI will sell to TRC all of its stock
                    in Chesapeake Investors, Inc., the parent of RTPI. It is the
                    intent of the parties to minimize taxes to the extent
                    possible, and the structure of the transaction will be
                    subject to revision in order to achieve that goal.
<PAGE>
 
LandCo:             TPI and TRC will continue their respective 95% and 5%
- - ------              ownership interests in LandCo. The Management Agreement
                    between RTPI and TRC will be terminated. TPI and TRC will
                    enter into an agreement patterned on the existing
                    Shareholder's Agreement (including appropriate provisions
                    from the Management Agreement) to govern their relationship
                    as shareholders of LandCo. TRC will agree to manage LandCo
                    for a reimbursement of costs only. The land operations
                    specifically related to LandCo will be separated from the
                    RTPI operations as of the closing date.

Gross Value:        The agreed upon gross value of the income-producing
- - -----------         properties to be transferred is $367 million and the agreed
                    upon gross value for the undeveloped land is $8 million.

Proceeds:           The sale of assets, net of existing debt, will result in
- - --------            proceeds to TPI before closing costs of $260,854,672, all as
                    more completely described on Attachment 2 made a part
                                                 ------------           
                    hereof.

Payment of
Proceeds:           TPI will receive at closing (i) $53 million in cash, (ii)
- - --------            $100 million in Common Stock of The Rouse Company, (iii) a
                    promissory note in the amount of $49,854,672 secured by a
                    deed of trust on properties to be identified, and (iv) a
                    promissory note, which shall be (1) rated not less than
                    investment grade by a rating agency satisfactory to TPI, (2)
                    registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
                    with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (3)
                    executed by The Rouse Company in the amount of $58 million.
                    TPI may elect to have Teachers Insurance and Annuity
                    Association of America ("TIAA") or any other affiliate of
                    TPI be the original lender with respect to the loans
                    referred to in clauses (iii) and (iv) above (such loans, the
                    "New Loans"). The specifics of the payment of proceeds are
                    more particularly set forth on Attachment 3 made a part 
                                                   ------------   
                    hereof. The pro-rations to be effected as of the closing
                    date shall hereafter be negotiated in good faith by the
                    parties. Subject in all respects to the parties subsequent
                    agreement as to all pro-rations, certain aspects of such 
                    pro-rations shall be reflected as set forth on Attachment 4 
                                                                   ----------
                    made a part hereof. In order to assist TPI in the evaluation
                    of issues concerning pro-rations, TRC agrees to provide to
                    TPI, within thirty (30) days after the date that both
                    parties have executed and delivered to each other this
                    letter agreement (such date of execution and delivery, the
                    "Execution Date"), two separate estimates by TRC as to all
                    of the pro-rations which would be appropriate for a closing
                    of this transaction, one of which shall assume an October
                    31, 1998 closing and the other of which shall assume a
                    December 31, 1998 closing.
<PAGE>
 
Limitation On
Sale of Stock:      In order to maintain a stable market in Rouse Common stock,
- - -------------       TPI will agree to sell no more than 1/3 of the holdings in
                    the six months after closing, and no more than an aggregate
                    of 2/3 within one year after closing. Such limitations shall
                    not apply by transfers to affiliates of TPI.

Closing:            Closing is expected to occur on or about October 31, 1998,
- - -------             but in no event shall the closing occur later than December
                    31, 1998. The parties agree that, on or prior to September
                    1, 1998, they shall establish a closing date.

Conditions
Precedent:          Each party's obligations hereunder are expressly conditioned
- - ---------           upon the approval of the transactions contemplated herein by
                    all relevant TRC, TPI and RTPI Boards and Committees by
                    September 25, 1998 (collectively, "Board Approval"). TRC and
                    TPI shall notify the other party promptly in writing upon
                    receipt of Board Approval. If either party does not obtain
                    Board Approval by September 25, 1998, the other party may
                    terminate this letter agreement.

Representations
and Warranties:
Due Diligence:      TRC will neither conduct any due diligence nor require TPI
- - -------------       to make any representations or warranties with regard to the
                    assets being conveyed or any other aspects of the
                    transactions contemplated hereby.

Costs and Expenses: The transaction has been structured to minimize transfer
- - ------------------  taxes. To the extent incurred, transfer taxes will be split
                    50%- 50%. Each party will pay its own costs in connection
                    with the transaction, including its own legal fees, except
                    that TRC shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses in
                    connection with the New Loans comprising a portion of the
                    purchase price, including, legal fees and expenses for the
                    New Loans, deed of trust recording taxes, and fees and costs
                    of rating and registering The Rouse Company's promissory
                    note.

Documentation:      TRC will take the responsibility for preparing the necessary
- - -------------       documentation, subject to TPI's approval, except that TPI
                    will prepare the documents for the deed of trust loan, which
                    will be based on the TIAA forms used for the most recent
                    deed of trust or mortgage loan transaction consummated
                    between TIAA and an affiliate of TRC. The transaction will
                    be subject to each party's review and approval of all of the
                    documentation.

Maryland Casualty
Litigation:         TPI will have full authority to control and settle the
- - ----------          litigation. TRC will continue to make its personnel
                    available for the conduct of the litigation, and TRC will
                    cooperate with TPI in all aspects of the litigation. Any
                    post-closing litigation costs, settlement or judgment will
                    be paid 95% by TPI and 5% by TRC. An appropriate
                    indemnification agreement from LandCo will be drafted to
                    indemnify RTPI from losses resulting from the Maryland
                    Casualty case.

Syndication Deficit
Account:            The parties agree that as of the date of closing, each

                    zero.

Interim
Transactions:       The parties agree that any proposed sale by RTPI of any of
- - ------------        the Sale Properties prior to the closing contemplated by
                    this letter agreement shall be dealt with pursuant to the
                    provisions of the Management Agreement, provided that (i)
                    all proceeds of any such sale which is consummated after the
                    closing hereunder shall belong to TRC and (ii) TRC shall be
                    solely responsible for any costs or expenses in connection
                    with any such sale.

Governing Law:      This letter agreement, and the rights and obligations of the
- - -------------       parties shall be construed in accordance with New York law
                    (without regard to New York's principles of conflicts of
                    laws).

Use of Name:        Immediately after closing, the name "Teachers" shall be
- - -----------         deleted from all entities owned by TRC, including Rouse-
                    Teachers, and TRC shall agree to communicate the change of
                    affiliation to third parties.

Date of Agreement:  This letter agreement shall become effective as of the
- - -----------------   Execution Date.

This letter agreement shall constitute a binding obligation of each of the
parties herein, subject to the fulfillment of the conditions precedent set forth
herein and subject to each party's review and approval of all necessary

will be required, at the request of either TRC or TPI on or before July 31,
1998, TRC and TPI agree to negotiate in good faith to reach a Stock Purchase
Agreement between them as soon as possible.
