                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1997
                                  (Unaudited)


NOTE 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     Catellus Development Corporation (the Company) is a diversified real estate
operating company that manages and develops real estate for its own account and
others.  The Company's portfolio of industrial, residential, retail and office
projects, undeveloped land and joint venture interests are located in major
markets in California and 10 other states.  

NOTE 2.  INTERIM FINANCIAL DATA

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of management, the
accompanying financial information includes all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods.  Certain
prior period financial data has been reclassified to conform with the current
period presentation.

NOTE 3.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Net earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing net
earnings (loss), after reduction for preferred stock dividends, by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Fully
diluted earnings per share amounts have not been presented because assumed
conversion of the Series A and Series B preferred stock would be anti-dilutive
for all relevant periods.

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" (Statement 128). 
Statement 128 is effective for financial statements issued after December 15, 
1997 and simplifies the current standards for computing earnings per share. The 
Company anticipates that adoption of Statement 128 will not result in 
disclosures that are materially different than those contained in this quarterly
report. The Company plans to adopt Statement 128 in the fourth quarter of 1997.

NOTE 4.  MORTGAGE AND OTHER DEBT

     Mortgage and other debt at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 is

NOTE 6.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is a party to a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary
course of business. While the Company cannot predict with certainty the final
outcome of these proceedings, management believes that none of these actions,
when finally resolved, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

     Inherent in the operations of the real estate business is the possibility
that environmental liability  may arise from the ownership, or previous
ownership, of real properties owned. The Company may be required in the future
to take action to correct or reduce the environmental effects of prior disposal
or release of hazardous substances by third parties, the Company, or its
corporate predecessors. Future environmental costs are difficult to estimate
because of such factors as the unknown magnitude of possible contamination, the
unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions which may be required, the
determination of the Company's liability in proportion to that of responsible
parties, and the extent to which such costs are recoverable from insurance.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
     At March 31, 1997, management estimates that future costs for remediation
of identified or suspected environmental contamination on operating properties
and properties previously sold approximate $13.4 million, and has provided a
reserve for that amount. It is anticipated that such costs will be incurred over
the next ten years with a substantial portion incurred over the next five years.
Management also estimates that similar costs relating to the Company's
properties to be developed or sold may range from $14 million to $38.6 million.
These amounts will be capitalized as components of development costs when
incurred, which is anticipated to be over a period of twenty years, or will be
deferred and charged to cost of sales when the properties are sold. The
Company's estimates were developed based on extensive reviews which took place
over several years based upon then prevailing law and identified site
conditions. Because of the breadth of its portfolio, the Company is unable to
review each property extensively on a regular basis. Also, such estimates are
not precise and are always subject to the availability of further information
about the prevailing conditions at the site, the future requirements of
regulatory agencies and the availability of other parties to pay some or all of
such costs.

NOTE 7.   PREFERRED STOCK CONVERSION/REDEMPTION

     In December 1996, the Company called for redemption of approximately $25
million of its $3.75 Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (Series A
Preferred Stock). In January 1997, of the 475,000 preferred shares called,
471,730 shares were converted into 2,603,168 common shares and 3,270 shares were
redeemed at $52.625 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends at a cost of
approximately $175,000.

     On February 5, 1997, the Company called for redemption of approximately $90
million of its Series A Preferred Stock.  On March 24, 1997, of the 1,720,000
preferred shares called, 1,715,837 shares were converted into 9,469,015 common
shares and the remaining shares were redeemed at $52.25 per share plus accrued
and unpaid dividends at a cost of approximately $220,000.

NOTE 8.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On March 24, 1997, the Company called for redemption of the remaining
outstanding 250,000 shares, or approximately $13 million, of its Series A
Preferred Stock and 1,470,000 shares, or approximately $75 million, of its
$3.625 Series B Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock (Series B
Preferred Stock). On May 1, 1997, 99.7% of the Series A Preferred Stock shares
were converted into 1,376,742 shares of common stock and the remaining shares
were redeemed at $52.25 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends at a cost of
approximately $45,000; additionally, 99.7% of the Series B Preferred Stock
shares were converted into 7,474,377 shares of common stock and the remaining
shares were redeemed at $52.54 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends at a
cost of approximately $268,000.

     On May 1, 1997, the Company called for redemption of the remaining
outstanding 1,520,000 shares, or approximately $80 million, of its Series B
Preferred Stock.  The redemption date on this call is June 19, 1997.

     Of the increase in revenue from industrial buildings, approximately $1.5
million was attributable to base rent for nine new buildings totaling
approximately 1.4 million square feet that were added to the portfolio during
the last twelve months, approximately $.5 million was attributable to higher
tenant pass-through charges associated with the new construction and higher
operating costs, and approximately $.3 million was a result of increases in
rental rates under existing leases. Property operating costs for the industrial
portfolio increased by approximately $.2 million primarily because of the
increase in property taxes associated with the new buildings.

     Rental revenue for the Company's office portfolio declined in the first
three months of 1997, compared to the first three months of 1996, primarily
because of a decline in occupancy. The decline in occupancy was partially offset
by higher rental rates in the first three months of 1997 compared to the first
three months of 1996 because of an increase in market rents.

     Rental revenue for the Company's retail portfolio increased approximately
$.3 million because of an increase in tenant pass-through charges. The decrease
in property operating costs for the retail buildings was primarily due to a
reduction in property assessments at the East Baybridge shopping center.

     The increase in revenue and costs from land development resulted from
higher occupancies at these properties.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
     The decrease in revenues and expenses from land leases between the first
three months of 1996 and the first three months of 1997 is primarily because of
the sale of a land lease in mid-1996. 

     Income-producing joint venture earnings increased by $.5 million because of
higher room rates and revenues in a hotel joint venture, higher occupancy in an
office building joint venture, and lower interest expense in an apartment
building joint venture.

Development Activities and Fee Services
- ---------------------------------------

     The increase in development property sales in the first three months of
1997 compared to the first three months of 1996 is attributable to the fact that
there were no sales of development property in the first quarter of 1996.

     The activity in the Company's sales of development property is summarized
as follows:

    ventures 
(2) The Company receives a fee based on the sales of these units, which

     Development and management fee income (net) increased by $.3 million. This
increase was primarily from an increase in management fees from management
contracts signed in January 1996, and higher development fees from the
Metropolitan Water District construction project offset by lower residential
joint venture management fees.

     Equity in earnings of development joint ventures increased by $141,000 in
the first three months of 1997 compared to the first three months of 1996. The
increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of The Akins 

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
Company, now called Catellus Residential Group ("CRG") in March 1996. No equity 
in earnings of development joint ventures was recorded for CRG in the first 
quarter of 1996.

     The reduction in losses from land holding costs, (net) is primarily
attributable to a reduction in property taxes of "for sale properties" as a
result of property sales, and property tax refunds. Additional factors were a
reduction in operating and maintenance costs and overhead costs.

Other Items on the Statement of Operations
- ------------------------------------------

     Interest expense was $1.1 million lower in the first three months of 1997
compared to the first three months of 1996 primarily as a result of the increase
in capitalized interest.

         Following is a summary of interest costs:

     General and administrative expense increased by $.6 million primarily
because of higher staffing levels associated with increased operating and
development activities.

     The increase from 1996 to 1997 in the Company's gain on sales of
non-strategic land and other assets is summarized as follows

     Litigation and environmental, (net) decreased $.9 million between 1997 and
1996. The income in 1996 represented proceeds resulting from the settlement of
litigation in an environmental matter in favor of the Company. No similar
recoveries were made in 1997.

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
     Other, net increased by $.2 million as a result of a combination of
factors, the most significant of which was an increase in insurance recoveries
offset by lower interest income.

Variability in results
- ----------------------

     The timing of development sales and non-strategic asset sales have resulted
in significant variability in the Company's historic operating results,
particularly on a quarterly basis. Many of the Company's projects require a
lengthy process to complete the development cycle before they are sold. Asset
sales are generally subject to lengthy negotiations and contingencies that need
to be resolved prior to closing. These factors tend to "bunch" income in
particular periods rather than a more even pattern throughout a year. In
addition, gross margins vary significantly as the mix of properties varies. The
cost basis of the properties sold varies because a) a number of properties have
been owned for many decades; b) some properties were acquired within the last
ten to fifteen years; and c) properties are owned in various geographical
locations.

Preferred Stock
- ---------------

     The Company completed a series of preferred stock calls during 1996 and the
first three months of 1997. The result has been a significant reduction in the
dividend requirement between the first three months of 1997 compared to the
first three months of 1996. The following is a summary of the calls completed
and issued in 1997: 
- - In December 1996, the Company called for redemption of
  approximately $25 million of its $3.75 Cumulative Convertible Series A 
  Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock). In January 1997, of the 475,000
  preferred shares called, 471,730 shares were converted into 2,603,168 common 
  shares and 3,270 shares were redeemed at $52.625 per share plus accrued and 
  unpaid dividends at a cost of approximately $175,000.
- - On February 5, 1997, the Company called for redemption of approximately $90
  million of its Series A Preferred Stock. On March 24, 1997, of the 1,720,000
  preferred shares called, 1,715,837 shares were converted into 9,469,015 common
  shares and the remaining shares were redeemed at $52.25 per share plus accrued
  and unpaid dividends at a cost of approximately $220,000.
- - On March 24, 1997, the Company called for redemption of the remaining 
  outstanding 250,000 shares, or approximately $13 million, of its Series A
  Preferred Stock and 1,470,000 shares, or approximately $75 million, of its
  $3.625 Series B Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock (Series B
  Preferred Stock). The redemption date was May 1, 1997. The results were the 
  conversion of 99.7% of the Series A Preferred Stock shares into 1,376,742 
  shares of common stock and the redemption of the remaining shares at $52.25
  per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends at a cost of approximately 
  $45,000; additionally, 99.7% of the Series B Preferred Stock shares were
  converted into 7,474,377 shares of common stock and the remaining shares were
  redeemed at $52.54 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends at a cost of
  approximately $268,000. 
- - On May 1, 1997, the Company called for redemption of the remaining outstanding
  1,520,000 shares, or approximately $80 million, of its Series B Preferred
  Stock. The redemption date on this call is June 19, 1997.

     Upon completion of the May 1, 1997 call, the Company will have no remaining
outstanding preferred stock and, accordingly, will have eliminated its preferred
dividend requirement.

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, Earnings Before
Depreciation and Deferred Taxes (EBDDT), is not a measure of operating results
or cash flows from operating activities as defined by generally accepted
accounting principles. Additionally, EBDDT 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 EBDDT

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
provides relevant information about its operations and is necessary, along with
net earnings (loss), for an understanding of its operating results.

     Depreciation, amortization and deferred income taxes are excluded from
EBDDT as they represent non-cash charges. Gains on the sale of non-strategic
land and other assets represent non-operating, unusual and/or nonrecurring items
and are therefore excluded from EBDDT. EBDDT is reconciled to net earnings
(loss) in the quarter to quarter comparison of Earnings Before Depreciation and
Deferred Taxes from Operations and Net Earnings (Loss) as follows:

</TABLE>

     The increase in EBDDT in the first three months of 1997 compared to the
first three months of 1996 was primarily due to improved results from the
Company's income-producing properties and the reduction in preferred stock
dividends as a result of the redemption and conversion of preferred shares to
common shares.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flow from operating activities
- -----------------------------------

     Cash provided by operating activities reflected in the statement of cash
flows in the first three months of 1997 and 1996 were $5.6 million and $13.9
million, respectively. The lower level in 1997 was primarily attributable to
higher capital expenditures for residential development property.

Cash flow from investing activities
- -----------------------------------

     Net cash flow used in investing activities reflected in the statement of
cash flows increased $13.9 million from 1996 to 1997. The increase in 1997 is
primarily attributable to an increase in capital expenditures. Capital
expenditures totaling $23.1 million and $6.2 million in the first three months
of 1997 and 1996 include capitalized interest and property taxes totaling $3.6
million and $1.9 million, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities
included the following capital expenditures:

         Predevelopment  relates to entitlements of the major mixed-use projects
which are  primarily  Mission  Bay and Pacific  Commons in Fremont.  Significant
developments during the first quarter include:
     -   In March 1997 the  University  of California  Board of Regents  entered
         into an  agreement  to  negotiate  exclusively  with the  Company for a
         two-month period to locate the proposed  expansion of the University of
         California at San Francisco (UCSF) in Mission Bay. The negotiations are
         ongoing for a conditional  agreement  with UCSF regarding a transfer of
         land to the University for a new campus.
     -   The Company is continuing its discussions  with the City of Fremont and
         various federal,  state and local agencies to address the impact of the
         approved  Pacific  Commons  development  on wetlands and special status
         species.  It is  anticipated  that a  determination  of the  amount  of
         property   available  for  development  in  1997  (and  the  associated
         mitigation  requirements)  will be  reached  in the  next  few  months.
         Discussions to determine the mitigation  requirements for the remainder
         of the property are ongoing; however, it is too early in the process to
         estimate  accurately  the  time  required  to  reach  agreement  on the
         mitigation package or the impact on the development of the remainder of
         the property.

Cash flow from financing activities
- -----------------------------------

     Net cash provided by financing activities reflected in the statement of
cash flows for the first three months of 1997 was $6.4 million compared to $11.0
million in cash used in financing activities for the first three months of 1996.
The amount for 1997 is primarily from net borrowings of $13.5 million offset by
$4.6 million of preferred stock dividends paid and $2.9 million in contributions
to joint ventures. The 1996 amount reflects borrowing and repayment activity
relating to operating properties (including principal amortization) and
preferred stock dividends paid.

     As of March 31, 1997, the Company had total outstanding debt of $510.3
million, of which 69.4% was non-recourse to the Company and secured by certain
property of the Company, 30.5% was recourse to the 

                                       14

Company and also secured by certain property, and 0.1% was unsecured. During the
next twelve months, $26.0 million of debt matures, consisting of construction
financing, term loans or first mortgage loans. All maturing debt is expected to
be repaid upon sale of the property securing it, extended, refinanced or repaid.

Capital commitments
- -------------------

     As of March 31, 1997, the Company had approximately $25 million in capital
expenditure commitments. These commitments are primarily to fund the
construction of industrial development projects, predevelopment costs and
re-leasing costs. See comments below regarding the sources of funding for
capital requirements.

Cash balances, available borrowings and capital resources
- ---------------------------------------------------------

     As of March 31, 1997, cash and cash equivalents totaled $14.6 million. In
addition, the Company had available $112.9 million under its secured revolving
credit facilities, $1.9 million under its development construction facilities,
$20.1 million under its residential construction facilities, and a commitment
for a $25 million unsecured line of credit.

     The Company's short- and long-term liquidity and capital resources
requirements will essentially be provided from three sources: ongoing operating
income from rental properties, proceeds from development, non-strategic and
other asset sales, and fee services income. As noted above, a secured revolving
line of credit, an unsecured line of credit, a construction line of credit, and
residential construction loan facilities are available to the Company for
meeting liquidity requirements. Additionally, the Company will use third-party
borrowing for development projects to the extent practical.


ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

     Many of the Company's properties are in urban and industrial areas and may
have been leased to or previously owned by commercial and industrial tenants
that may have discharged hazardous materials. The Company incurs on-going
environmental remediation costs, including clean-up costs, consulting fees for
environmental studies and investigations, monitoring costs, and legal costs
relating to clean-up, litigation defense and the pursuit of responsible third
parties. Such costs incurred in connection with operating properties and
properties previously sold are expensed. As of March 31, 1997, management has
provided a reserve of $13.4 million for such costs. These costs are expected to
be incurred over an estimated ten-year period, with a substantial portion
incurred over the next five years.

     Environmental costs incurred for properties to be sold are deferred and
will be charged to cost of sales when the properties are sold. Such costs
relating to undeveloped properties are capitalized as part of development costs.
At March 31, 1997, the Company's estimate of its potential liability for
identified environmental costs relating to properties to be developed or sold
ranged from $14 million to $38.6 million. These costs generally will be
capitalized as they are incurred over the course of the estimated development
period of approximately 20 years. Environmental costs capitalized for the first
three months of 1997 and 1996 totaled $.2 million and $.3 million, respectively.

     While the Company or outside consultants have evaluated the environmental
liabilities associated with most of the Company's properties, any evaluation
necessarily is based upon then prevailing law and identified site conditions.
The Company monitors its exposure to environmental costs on a regular basis.
Although an unexpected event could have a material impact on the results of
operations for any period, the Company does not believe that such costs for
identified liabilities will have a material adverse effect on its financial
condition.

RISK FACTORS

     It is the Company's belief that this quarterly report on Form 10-Q may
contain statements which, to the extent that they are not recitations of
historical fact, may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934. All forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties. Any forward-looking statements in this document are intended to
be subject to the safe harbor protection provided by Section 27A and 21E.
Factors that most typically affect the Company's operating results and financial
condition include (i) changes in general economic conditions in regions in which
the Company's projects are located, (ii) supply and demand for office,
industrial, and residential space, (iii) the delay in receipt of or the denial
of government approvals and entitlements for development projects, (iv) other
public and private development activity in the areas in which the Company owns
property, (v) land and building material costs, (vi) the availability and cost
of project financing, (vii) competition from other property owners, (viii)
liability for environmental remediation at the Company's properties, (ix) the
Company's ability to increase development fees, (x) the Company's ability to
sell non-strategic assets, (xi) changes in the capital markets affecting the
ability of the Company to minimize its interest and preferred dividends, (xii)
the Company's ability to control the timing of the recognition of deferred tax
liability, (xiii) the impact of discretionary government actions, (xiv) the
exposure of the Company's assets to natural occurrences, such as earthquakes,
tornadoes, and similar events, and (xv) changes in the legal and regulatory
environment, including the tax treatment of the Company's activities and assets.

         For discussions identifying other important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-
looking statements, see the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission
filings, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" of this Form 10-Q and the Company's Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1996, Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included in this Form 10-Q and Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. The
Company cautions that the foregoing list of risk factors is not exclusive.
Further, the Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements
that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.
