                      THE ROUSE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
                                 June 30, 2000

(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 1999 Annual
          Report to Shareholders.

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

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

       The Company determined that it would elect to be taxed as a real estate
          investment trust (REIT) effective January 1, 1998 pursuant to the
          Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Management believes the
          Company met the qualifications for REIT status as of June 30, 2000,
          and intends for it to continue to meet the qualifications in the
          future.

       In connection with its election to be taxed as a REIT, the Company also
           elected to be subject to the "built-in gain" rules. In February 2000,
           temporary and proposed regulations were issued providing guidance
           regarding the application of the "built-in gain" rules to REITs and
           are effective retroactive to June 10, 1987. The regulations require a
           REIT to refile its election to be subject to the "built-in gain"
           rules. The Company intends to refile its election with respect to
           assets owned by the Company on the date of conversion to REIT status.
           Under these rules, taxes will be payable at the time and to the
           extent that the net unrealized gains on the Company's assets at the
           date of conversion to REIT status are recognized in taxable
           dispositions of such assets in the ten-year period following
           conversion. At June 30, 2000, net unrealized gains were approximately
           $2,465,000,000. Management believes that the Company will not be
           required to make significant payments of taxes on built-in gains
           throughout the ten-year period due to the availability of its net
           operating loss carryforward to offset certain built-in

(2) Tax status, continued
    ---------------------

          gains which might be recognized and the potential for the Company to
          enter into alternative structures, if necessary. At June 30, 2000, the
          regular tax net operating loss carryforward is sufficient to offset
          built-in gains on assets the Company intends to sell and no net
          deferred tax liability for built-in gains taxes has been recognized.
          However, it may be necessary to recognize a liability for such taxes
          in the future if management's plans and intentions with respect to
          asset dispositions, or the related tax laws, change.

(5)    Segment information
       -------------------

       The Company has five reportable segments: retail centers, office and
         other properties, land sales operations, development and corporate. In
         2000, the Company reclassified the segment operating results and assets
         of the retail components of its five mixed-use projects to retail
         centers. In connection therewith, the office, mixed-use and other
         properties segment has been renamed office and other properties.
         Segment information for the prior periods has been restated to reflect
         this change. Segment operating results are measured and assessed based
         on a performance measure referred to as Funds From Operations (FFO)
         computed using the revised definition developed by the National
         Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which definition
         is effective January 1, 2000. NAREIT defines FFO as net earnings
         (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles),
         excluding cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles,
         extraordinary items and gain (loss) on dispositions of operating
         property assets, plus depreciation and amortization. Additionally,
         equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate ventures and minority
         interests have been adjusted to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO for
         prior periods has been presented in conformity with the new definition.
         The method used by the Company to compute FFO may differ from methods
         used by other REITs. FFO is not a measure of operating results or cash
         flows from operating activities as measured by generally accepted
         accounting principles. It is not necessarily indicative of cash
         available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an
         alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

       The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the
         Company, except that real estate ventures in which the Company holds
         substantially all (at least 98%) of the financial interest but does not
         own a majority voting interest (majority financial interest ventures)
         are accounted for on a consolidated basis, rather than using the equity
         method. Additionally, the Company's share of FFO of unconsolidated real
         estate ventures in which it holds a minority interest is included in
         revenues.

       Total segment assets exceeds total assets reported in the financial
         statements primarily because of the consolidation of the majority
         financial interest ventures for segment reporting purposes.

(6)    Gain (loss) on dispositions of operating property assets, net
       -------------------------------------------------------------

       The net loss on dispositions of operating property assets for the three
         months ended June 30, 2000 related to a provision for loss on a
         leasehold interest in a retail center the Company decided to dispose.
         The net loss on operating properties for the six months ended June 30,
         2000 related primarily to the provision discussed above and a provision
         for loss on an interest in a retail center property that the Company
         and its venture partner decided to sell. The net gain on dispositions
         of operating property assets in the three and six months ended June 30,
         1999 related primarily to the sale of an operating property.

(7)    Extraordinary loss, net
       -----------------------

       The extraordinary loss, net for the three and six months ended June 30,
         2000 and 1999 related to the extinguishment of debt prior to scheduled
         maturity. The sources of funds used to pay the debt and fund the
         prepayment penalties, where applicable, were the refinancing of
         property debt and 8% Senior Debt issued in 1999.

(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, 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, and it is, therefore, possible that
       resolution of these matters could have such an effect in any future
       quarter or year.

(10) Property dispositions and related matters
     -----------------------------------------

     In June 1999,  the  Company  sold its  interest  in Valley  Fair Mall to
       Westfield America, Inc. for approximately $147 million. The Company
       acquired the property in July 1998 from TrizecHahn Centers Inc. for
       approximately the same cost with the intention to sell it and,
       accordingly, recognized no gain or loss on the sale. In June 1999, the
       Company also disposed of its ownership interest in an operating property
       located in Los Angeles, California.

     In September 1999, the Company announced that it was considering selling
       interests in certain operating properties and land parcels and using the
       proceeds to repay debt and repurchase (subject to certain price
       restrictions) up to $250 million of the Company's common stock. In
       January 2000, management authorized specific disposition plans and began
       actively marketing interests in the properties. Accordingly, the net book
       values of the properties were reclassified to properties held for sale.
       In June 2000, the Company sold one of the properties and recognized a
       gain of $345,000 on the sale.

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

       At June 30, 2000, the Company had a shelf registration statement for
         future sale of up to an aggregate of $1.9 billion (based on the public
         offering price) of common stock, Preferred stock and debt securities.

(12)   Subsequent event
       ----------------

       In July 2000, the Company sold substantially all of its ownership
         interest in North Star, a retail center in San Antonio, Texas, for cash
         proceeds of approximately $84 million.

                      THE ROUSE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

The following discussion and analysis covers any material changes in financial
  condition since December 31, 1999 and any material changes in the results of
  operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the
  same periods in 1999. 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 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders.

General:
-------

Through its subsidiaries and affiliates, the Company acquires, develops and
  manages a diversified portfolio of retail centers and office, industrial,
  mixed-use and other properties (office and other properties) located
  throughout the United States and develops and sells land for residential,
  commercial and other uses, primarily in Columbia, Maryland and Summerlin,
  Nevada.

One of the Company's primary objectives is to own and operate premier shopping
  centers, major mixed-use projects and geographically concentrated groups of
  office and industrial buildings (principally complementing community
  development activities) 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 and/or other anchor tenants to its existing
  properties to meet its objective. The Company is also continually evaluating
  opportunities for new operating properties and/or land development projects it
  believes have future prospects consistent with its objectives. 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.
  In September 1999, the Company announced that it would pursue developing a
  strategy to dispose of interests in certain office and industrial properties
  and land parcels and use the proceeds to repay debt and repurchase (subject to
  certain price restrictions) up to $250 million of the Company's common stock.
  In January 2000, management authorized specific disposition plans and began
  actively marketing interests in the properties. In June 2000, the Company
  completed a sale of one of these properties.

General, continued:
------------------

  The Company may also selectively dispose of properties for other reasons.
  These disposition decisions may cause the Company to recognize gains or losses
  that could have material effects on reported net earnings in future quarters
  or fiscal years and taken together with the use of sales proceeds, may have a
  material effect on the overall consolidated financial position of the Company.

Portfolio changes:
-----------------

In February 1999, the Company contributed its ownership interests in four retail
  centers (Bridgewater Commons, Fashion Place Mall, Park Meadows and Towson Town
  Center) to a joint venture in which it retained a 35% ownership interest. In
  June 1999, the Company sold Lucky's Center, an other property in Los Angeles,
  California. In October 1999, the Company sold Santa Monica Place, a retail
  center in Santa Monica, California. In June 2000, the Company sold an
  industrial building in Baltimore, Maryland.

In 2000 and 1999, the Company and its affiliates completed a number of
  development projects to enhance the quality of its portfolio. This development
  activity is summarized as follows:

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

As indicated in the 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders, the discussion of
   operating results covers each of the Company's business segments as
   management believes that a segment analysis provides the most effective means
   of understanding the business. Note 5 to the consolidated financial
   statements included in this Form 10-Q should be referred to when reading this
   discussion and analysis. As discussed in note 5, segment operating data are
   reported using the accounting policies followed by the Company for internal
   reporting to management. These policies are the same as those followed for
   external reporting except that majority financial interest ventures (real
   estate ventures in which the Company holds substantially all (at least 98%)
   of the financial interest, but does not own a majority voting interest) are
   reported on a consolidated basis rather than using the equity method and the
   Company's share of FFO of unconsolidated real estate ventures in which it
   holds a minority interest is included in revenues. These differences affect
   only the reported revenues and operating and interest expenses of the
   segments and have no effect on the reported net earnings or FFO of the
   Company. Revenues and operating and interest expenses reported for the
   segments are reconciled to the related amounts reported in the consolidated
   financial statements in note 5.

Operating Properties - Retail Centers, continued:
------------------------------------------------

Revenues decreased $1.6 million and $6.5 million for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1999. The
decreases were attributable primarily to effects of the contribution of
properties to a joint venture and the disposition of Santa Monica Place
(approximately $4.8 million and $15.8 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2000, respectively) and lower average occupancy levels at comparable
properties (92.4% for the six months in 2000 compared to 93.6% for the six
months in 1999). These decreases were partially offset by the project expansions
(approximately $6.1 million and $7.4 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2000, respectively) and higher rents on released space.

Total operating and interest expenses decreased $3.4 million and $9.2 million
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to the
same periods in 1999. The decreases were attributable primarily to the
contribution of properties to a joint venture and the disposition of Santa
Monica Place (approximately $3.5 million and $13.7 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2000, respectively) and lower bad debt expenses at
comparable properties, partially offset by project expansions (approximately
$3.4 million and $5.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000,
respectively). Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.8 million and
decreased $.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000,
respectively, compared to the same periods in 1999. These changes were
attributable primarily to the changes in the portfolio referred to above.

Operating Properties - Office and Other Properties, continued:
-------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues increased $4.0 million and $6.2 million for the three and six months
    ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1999. The
    increases were attributable primarily increases in operating expenses at
    comparable properties to the project openings in 1999 (approximately $1.4
    million and $2.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000,
    respectively) and higher rents on released space. These increases were
    partially offset by the aforementioned dispositions in 1999 and 2000
    (approximately $.4 million and $.9 million for the three and six months
    ended June 30, 2000, respectively).

Total operating and interest expenses increased $2.6 million and $3.4 million
    for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to
    the same periods in 1999. The increases in operating and interest expenses
    were attributable in part to project openings in 1999 (approximately $.9
    million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000,
    respectively). This increase was partially offset by the aforementioned
    dispositions (approximately $.2 million and $.4 million for the three and
    six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively). Depreciation and amortization
    expense decreased $.9 million and $2.4 million for the three and six months
    ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1999. The
    decreases were attributable primarily to cessation of depreciation of
    properties the Company classified as held for sale in the first quarter of
    2000, partially offset by project openings in 1999.

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

Landsales 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.

Land Sales Operations, continued:
--------------------------------

Revenues from Summerlin land sales operations decreased $4.3 million and
    increased $1.5 million for the three months and six months ended June 30,
    2000, respectively, while related costs and expenses decreased $3.4 million
    and increased $.6 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in
    1999. The decreases in land sales and related costs and expenses for the
    three months were due primarily to lower levels of sales for residential
    purposes partially offset by higher levels of sales for commercial uses.

Revenues from Columbia and other land sales operations increased $16.4 million
    and $7.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000,
    respectively, while related costs and expenses increased $6.3 million and
    decreased $1.8 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1999.
    Revenues and related costs and expenses from sales of land in New Jersey
    were $14.0 million and $6.5 million, respectively, for the three months
    ended June 30, 2000. Revenues and related costs and expenses from sales of
    land in New Jersey were $4.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for the
    three months ended March 31, 1999. There is no remaining saleable land at
    the New Jersey site.

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

Development expenses consist primarily of preconstruction expenses and new
    business costs. Preconstruction expenses relate to costs of projects which
    may not go forward to completion. New business costs relate to the
    evaluation of potential regional retail center sites, acquisition and
    disposition opportunities and alternative revenue sources and investment
    opportunities.

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, net corporate interest expense consists primarily of interest on
    the convertible subordinated debentures which were retired in the second
    quarter 1999, the unsecured 8% notes issued in the second quarter 1999, the
    unsecured 8.5% notes, the medium-term notes, credit

    facility borrowings, and unallocated proceeds from refinancings of certain
    properties, net of interest capitalized on development projects or allocated
    to other segments. Corporate operating expenses consist primarily of general
    and administrative costs, federal income taxes and distributions on the
    redeemable preferred securities, net of distributions allocated to other
    segments.

Corporate operating expenses decreased $6.0 million and $7.7 million for the
    three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to the same
    periods in 1999. In the second quarter of 1999, the Company announced and
    initiated the consolidation of the management and administration of its
    Retail Operations and Office and Mixed-Use divisions into a single Property
    Operations Division and the integration of certain operating, administrative
    and support functions of the Hughes Division into other divisions. The costs
    relating to these organizational changes, primarily severance and other
    benefits to terminated employees of the Company and its affiliates
    aggregated approximately $6.2 million in the three months ended June 30,
    1999. There was no similar event in 2000.

Corporate interest expense, net, increased $2.1 million and $4.0 million for the
    three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to the same
    periods in 1999. The increases were attributable primarily to interest
    expense incurred on the 8% Senior Debt issued in May 1999, partially offset
    by lower interest expense on the convertible subordinated debentures that
    were repaid using a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the 8%
    Senior Debt.

Gain (loss) on dispositions of operating property assets, net:

Gain(loss) on dispositions of operating property assets, net, including the
    Company's share of those recorded by unconsolidated real estate ventures, is

Gain (loss) on dispositions of operating property assets, net, continued:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The net loss on dispositions of operating property assets for the three months
    ended June 30, 2000 related to a provision for loss on a leasehold interest
    in a retail center the Company decided to dispose. The net loss on operating
    properties for the six months ended June 30, 2000 related primarily to the
    provision discussed above and a provision for loss on an interest in a
    retail center property that the Company and its venture partner decided to
    sell. The net gain on dispositions of operating property assets in the three
    and six months ended June 30, 1999 related primarily to the sale of an
    operating property by the Company and the sale of a service station by a
    majority financial interest venture.

Extraordinary loss, net:
-----------------------

The extraordinary loss, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and
    1999 related to the extinguishment of debt prior to scheduled maturity. The
    sources of funds used to pay the debt and fund the prepayment penalties,
    where applicable, were the refinancing of property debt and 8% Senior Debt
    issued in 1999.

Net earnings:
------------

The increases in net earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000
    as compared to the same periods in 1999 were attributable to the factors
    discussed above in the analyses of the segments, the analysis of gain (loss)
    on dispositions of operating property assets, net and the analysis of
    extraordinary loss, net.

Financial condition and liquidity:
---------------------------------

Shareholders' equity decreased by $5.0 million from December 31, 1999 to June
    30, 2000. The decrease was primarily attributable to payment of regular
    quarterly dividends on the Company's common and Preferred stocks and
    purchases of common stock, partially offset by net earnings for the six
    months ended June 30, 2000 and issuance of common stock pursuant to the
    Contingent Stock Agreement.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable
    securities totaling $38.3 million at June 30, 2000, including $3.9 million
    of investments held for restricted uses.

Financial condition and liquidity, continued:
--------------------------------------------

In 1998, the Company obtained a $450 million unsecured revolving credit facility
   from a group of lenders. The facility is available until July 2001, and is
   subject to a one-year renewal option. The group of lenders also provided a
   bridge loan facility that was available for specific property acquisitions
   completed in 1998. Related borrowings under the bridge loan facility were
   repaid on or before July 30, 1999. The revolving credit facility may be used
   for various purposes, including project development costs, property
   acquisitions, liquidity and other corporate needs. It may also be used to pay
   some portion of existing debt. Availability under the facility was $213
   million at June 30, 2000.

As of June 30, 2000, debt due in one year was $93.2 million, including balloon
   payments on mortgages of $7.4 million and repayments of medium-term notes of
   $30 million. These payments are expected to be made from the proceeds of
   property refinancings, credit facility borrowings, proceeds of the sales of
   property interests held for sale, proceeds from the sales of other property
   interests or other available corporate funds. The Company is continually
   evaluating sources of capital, and management believes there are satisfactory
   sources available for all requirements. Dispositions of properties are
   expected to provide capital resources in 2000 and 2001 and may also provide
   them in subsequent years.

The Company began actively marketing interests in certain office and industrial
   properties in the first quarter of 2000. The Company expects that proceeds
   from sales will be used to repay debt, repurchase common stock and/or fund
   project development costs. The Company sold one of these properties in June
   2000 for approximately $1.2 million cash. In July 2000, the Company sold
   substantially all of its ownership interest in North Star, a regional retail
   center in San Antonio, Texas, for approximately $84 million cash.

The Company may also sell interests in other operating properties. The Company
   and its affiliates also consider certain investment and other land assets as
   significant sources of cash flows and may decide to accelerate sales in order
   to provide additional liquidity for other purposes, including the funding of
   development activities.

Also as discussed above, the Company has approval to repurchase, subject to
   certain pricing restrictions, up to $250 million of common stock. As of June
   30, 2000, the Company had repurchased  approximately 2.7 million shares under
   this program for approximately $61 million.

The Company has a shelf registration statement for the sale of up to an
   aggregate of approximately $2.25 billion (based on the public offering price)
   of common stock, Preferred stock and debt securities. At June 30, 2000, the
   Company had issued approximately $358 million of common stock and debt
   securities under the shelf registration statement, with a remaining
   availability of approximately $1.9 billion. Also, under an effective
   registration statement the Company may issue additional medium-term notes of
   up to $29.7 million.

In connection with the acquisition of the Hughes Corporation (Hughes) in 1996,
   the Company entered into a Contingent Stock Agreement (Agreement) for the
   benefit of the former Hughes owners or their successors (the beneficiaries).
   Under terms of the agreement, additional shares of common stock (or in
   certain circumstances, Increasing Rate Cumulative Preferred stock) are
   issuable to the beneficiaries based on the appraised values of four defined
   groups of acquired assets at specified "termination dates" from 2000 to 2009
   and/or cash flows generated from the development and/or sale of those assets
   prior to the termination dates. To date, the Company has repurchased shares
   of its common stock for issuance to the beneficiaries. The Company believes
   that a substantial portion of the assets (primarily certain land in Las Vegas
   and Summerlin, Nevada) subject to the 2000 termination date (December 31,
   2000) will not be sold in 2000. The Company has entered into discussions with
   the beneficiaries to extend the termination date with respect to these
   assets, but there can be no assurance that the termination date will be
   extended. Preliminary estimates of the values of the related assets indicate
   that a distribution of approximately $30-40 million may be required under
   terms of the Agreement. If an extension of the termination date is not
   obtained, the Company currently expects to use corporate funds or borrowings
   under its credit facility to repurchase shares of its common stock for
   issuance to the beneficiaries.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $94.6 million and $104.7 million
   for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The level of
   cash flows provided by operating activities is affected by the timing of
   receipts of rents and other revenues and payment of operating and interest
   expenses. The decrease in net cash provided of $10.1 million was due
   primarily to lower receipts from notes receivable on land sales made before
   1998, offset by a decrease in operating expenditures. The decrease in
   operating expenditures was primarily attributable to benefit and other
   payments made due to the

   organizational changes in 1999 described in the analysis of the corporate
   segment. Cash provided by operating distributions from unconsolidated
   majority financial interest ventures relates primarily to net interest and
   dividend payments made by the ventures to the Company and is affected by the
   timing of receipt of their land sales revenues, payment of operating and
   interest expenses and other sources and uses of cash. Other changes in net
   cash provided by operating activities were due to the factors discussed
   previously under the operating results of the business segments.

Net cash used in investing activities was $82.1 million and $38.1 million for
   the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in
   net cash used of $44.0 million was due primarily to lower proceeds from sales
   of operating properties (1999 included the sale of the Company's interest in
   Valley Fair Mall) and higher expenditures for property acquisitions in 2000
   (primarily certain commercial properties adjacent to a development project
   and a department store site) partially offset by higher net payments received
   on loans to unconsolidated majority financial interest ventures.

Net cash used in financing activities was $21.7 million and $79.7 million for
   the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in
   net cash used of $58.0 million was due primarily to higher net proceeds from
   the issuance of other debt (primarily higher net credit line draws) partially
   offset by higher repurchases of Company common stock.

New accounting standards not yet adopted:
----------------------------------------

In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
   of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137 (Statement 137), an amendment to
   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
   Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (Statement 133), issued in
   June 1998. Statement 137 defers the required adoption date of Statement 133
   for the Company to no later than January 1, 2001. In June 2000, the FASB
   issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, which provides
   additional guidance and amendments to Statement 133. The Company's use of
   derivative instruments has consisted primarily of interest rate swap and cap
   agreements related to specific debt financings. The Company will adopt
   Statement 133, as amended, effective January 1, 2001. While the Company has
   not completed its analysis of Statement 133, it does not believe that
   adoption will have a material effect on its financial position and results of
   operations based on its current limited use of derivative instruments.

In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain
   Transactions involving Stock Compensation" (FIN 44). The provisions of FIN 44
   are effective July 1, 2000, and generally are to be applied prospectively.
   Based on the current price of the Company's common stock, the Company does
   not believe adoption of FIN 44 will have a material effect on the Company's

Information relating to forward looking statements:
--------------------------------------------------

This report on Form 10-Q 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 identified below, which
   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 are among the factors
   that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results
   or those anticipated: (1) real estate investment trust rules; (2) real estate
   development and investment risks; (3) illiquidity of real estate investments;
   (4) dependence on rental income from real property; (5) effect of uninsured
   loss; (6) lack of geographical diversification; (7) possible environmental
   liabilities; (8) difficulties of compliance with the Americans with
   Disabilities Act; (9) competition; (10) changes in the economic climate; and
   (11) changes in tax laws or regulations. 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, 1999.

Market risk information:
-----------------------

The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial
   and commodity instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market
   prices or rates. The Company's market risk arises primarily from interest
   rate risk relating to variable rate borrowings used to maintain liquidity
   (e.g., credit facility advances) or finance project acquisition or
   development costs (e.g., construction loan advances). The Company's interest
   rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate
   changes on earnings and cash flows. In order to achieve this objective, the
   Company relies primarily on long-term, fixed rate, nonrecourse loans from
   institutional lenders to finance its operating properties. In addition, long-
   term, fixed rate financing is typically arranged concurrently with or shortly
   after a variable rate project acquisition or construction loan is negotiated.
   The Company also makes limited use of interest rate exchange agreements,
   including interest rate swaps and caps, to mitigate its interest rate risk on
   variable rate debt. The Company does not enter into interest rate exchange
   agreements for speculative purposes and the fair value of these and other
   derivative financial instruments is insignificant at June 30, 2000.

Market risk information, continued:
----------------------------------

The Company's interest rate risk is monitored closely by management. The table
   below presents the principal amounts due and weighted-average interest rates
   applicable to principal amounts outstanding at the end of each year. This
   information may be used to evaluate the expected cash flows of the Company
   under debt and related agreements and its sensitivity to interest rate
   changes. The information relating to debt maturities (in millions) is based
   on expected maturity dates which consider anticipated refinancing or other
   transactions.

</TABLE>

At June 30, 2000, approximately $101.5 million of the Company's variable rate
    debt relates to borrowings under project construction loans. The borrowings
    under project construction loans are expected to be repaid from proceeds of
    long-term, fixed rate loans at dates from 2000 to 2001 when construction of
    the related projects is scheduled to be completed.

At June 30, 2000, the Company had interest rate cap agreements which effectively
    limit the average interest rate on $100 million of the variable rate LIBOR
    debt maturing in 2002 to 9.1%, and the average rate on $6 million of the
    variable rate LIBOR debt maturing in 2010 to 8.7%.

As the table incorporates only those exposures that exist as of June 30, 2000,
    it does not consider exposures or positions which could arise after that
    date. As a result, the Company's ultimate realized gain or loss with respect
    to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise after
    June 30, 2000, the Company's hedging strategies during that period and
    interest rates.
