Properties, Inc. Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

     Information  included herein contains  "forward-looking  statements" within

subject  to risks and  uncertainties,  many of which  cannot be  predicted  with
accuracy  and some of which  might not even be  anticipated.  Future  events and

Operations"  incorporated by reference  therein,  for a discussion of such risks
and uncertainties.

GENERAL BACKGROUND

     CBL & Associates  Properties,  Inc. (the "Company")  Consolidated Financial
Statements and Notes thereto reflect the consolidated financial results of CBL &
Associates Limited  Partnership (the "Operating  Partnership") which includes at
September 30, 2000 the  operations  of a portfolio of  properties  consisting of
twenty-six regional malls,  fourteen associated centers,  seventy-two community
centers,  an office building,  joint venture  investments in four regional malls
and one associated center,  and income from seven mortgages (the  "Properties").
The Operating Partnership also has two malls, two community centers and two mall
expansions  currently under construction and options to acquire certain shopping
center development sites. The consolidated financial statements also include the
accounts of CBL & Associates Management, Inc. (the "Management Company").

     The Company classifies its regional malls into two categories - malls which
have completed their initial lease-up  ("Stabilized  Malls") and malls which are
in  their  initial  lease-up  phase  ("New  Malls").  The New Mall  category  is
presently  comprised  of a  redevelopment  project,  Springdale  Mall in Mobile,
Alabama,  Arbor Place Mall in Atlanta  (Douglasville),  Georgia  which opened in
October 1999, Bonita Lakes Mall in Meridian, Mississippi which opened in October
1997,  and  Parkway  Place Mall in  Huntsville,  Alabama  which was  acquired in
December  1998 and which is being  redeveloped  in a joint  venture with a third
party.

     The Company has entered into a  definitive  Master  Contribution  Agreement
with  affiliates  of The Richard E.  Jacobs  Group,  Inc.  pursuant to which the
Company  will  acquire  interests in a portfolio  of 21  regional  malls and two
associated  centers.  The Company has filed a  preliminary  proxy  statement  in
anticipation of a vote by the Company's shareholders on the acquisition.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     During the quarter, the Company sold five community centers.  Proceeds from
the sales of $11.0  million were used to pay down the  Company's  credit  lines,
$1.2 million were used to pay permenant loans and $3.3 million of sales proceeds
were  placed in escrow in  anticipation  of a like-kind  exchange of  properties
under section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended.

     Operational highlights for the three months and nine months ended September
30, 2000 as compared to September 30, 1999 are as follows:


SALES

     Mall shop sales,  for those tenants who have  reported,  in the  twenty-six
Stabilized  Malls in the Company's  portfolio  increased by 1.2% on a comparable
per square foot basis.

</TABLE>

     Total sales volume in the mall  portfolio,  including New Malls,  increased
4.0% to $1.096 billion for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 from $1.054
billion for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

     Occupancy  costs  as a  percentage  of  sales  for the  nine  months  ended
September  30,  2000 and 1999 for the  Stabilized  Malls  were  13.8% and 13.1%,
respectively.  Occupancy  costs were 11.5%,  11.1% and 11.2% for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. Occupancy costs as a percentage
of sales  are  generally  higher  in the  first  three  quarters  of the year as
compared to the fourth quarter due to the seasonality of retail sales.


OCCUPANCY

     Occupancy for the Company's overall portfolio was as follows:

</FN>
</TABLE>

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2000,  malls  represented  76.8% of
total revenues from all properties; revenues from associated centers represented
4.0%;  revenues from  community  centers  represented  17.6%;  and revenues from
mortgages,   development  fees  and  the  office  building   represented   1.6%.
Accordingly,  revenues and results of operations are disproportionately impacted
by the malls' performance.

     The  shopping  center  business is somewhat  seasonal in nature with tenant
sales  achieving  the highest  levels during the fourth  quarter  because of the
holiday  season.  The malls earn most of their  "temporary"  rents  (rents  from
short-term  tenants)  during the  holiday  period.  Thus,  occupancy  levels and
revenue production are generally the highest in the fourth quarter of each year.
Results of  operations  realized in any one quarter may not be indicative of the
results likely to be experienced over the course of the fiscal year.


COMPARISON  OF RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS  FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED  SEPTEMBER 30,
2000 TO THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

     Total  revenues for the three months ended  September 30, 2000 increased by
$6.9 million, or 8.4%, to $88.6 million as compared to $81.7 million in 1999.

                                   -12-
<PAGE>

Minimum rents increased by $5.4 million,  or 10.7%, to $56.1 million as compared
to $50.7 million in 1999, and tenant  reimbursements  increased by $4.6 million,
or  19.5%,  to $28.0  million  in 2000 as  compared  to $23.4  million  in 1999.
Percentage  rents  decreased  by $0.1  million,  or 4.2%,  to $1.5  million  as
compared to $1.6 million in 1999.

     Management, leasing and development fees decreased by $3.4 million, to $1.1
million as compared to $4.5 million in 1999.  This decrease was primarily due to
a one-time fee of $3.1 million from a co-development property received in 1999.

     Approximately  $4.5  million of the  increase  in  revenues  resulted  from
operations  at the six new centers  opened or acquired  during the past  fifteen
months. These centers consist of:

</TABLE>

     Approximately  $5.5  million of the  increase  in  revenues  resulted  from
improved  operations,  increases in occupancies and increases in recoveries,  in
the existing centers offset by a one-time fee of $3.1 million earned from the
Company's co-development program in 1999.

     Property  operating  expenses,  including real estate taxes and maintenance
and repairs,  increased in the third  quarter of 2000 by $2.5 million or 9.9% to
$27.2 million as compared to $24.7  million in the third  quarter of 1999.  This
increase  was  primarily  the  result  of the  addition  of the six new  centers
referred to above.

     Depreciation  and  amortization  increased in the third  quarter of 2000 by
$1.9  million or 14.5% to $15.2  million  as  compared  to $13.3  million in the
second  quarter of 1999.  This  increase is primarily due to the addition of the
six new centers referred to above.

     Interest expense increased in the third quarter of 2000 by $2.8 million, or
13.4% to $23.5 million as compared to $20.7  million in 1999.  This increase was
primarily  due to the  additional  interest on the six centers added during the
last fifteen months referred to above and increases in interest rates in 2000 as
compared to the interest rates in effect during the third quarter of 1999.

     The gain on sales of real estate  assets  increased in the third quarter of
2000 by $3.0 million,  to $3.9 million as compared to $0.9 million in 1999.  The
majority of gain on sales in the third quarter of 2000 was from outparcel  sales
at Coastal Way in Spring Hill,  Florida and outparcel land at a previously  sold
center in Jacksonville, Florida and the sales of five completed centers.

                                   -13-

     Equity in  earnings of  unconsolidated  affiliates  increased  in the third
quarter of 2000 by $0.2  million to $0.9  million from $0.7 million in the third
quarter of 1999 primarily due to improved operations at equity centers.


COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
TO THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

     Total  revenues for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000  increased by
$33.0  million,  or 14.3%,  to $263.5  million as compared to $230.5  million in
1999. Of this increase,  minimum rents increased by $20.6 million,  or 14.0%, to
$167.8 million as compared to $147.2 million in 1999, and tenant  reimbursements
increased by $13.7  million,  or 21.0%,  to $78.8 million in 2000 as compared to
$65.1 million in 1999.  Percentage rents increased by $1.0 million,  or 14.8% to
$7.5 million as compared to $6.5 million in 1999.

     Approximately  $19.1  million of the  increase  in revenues  resulted  from

     Improved  occupancies  and operations , increased  recoveries and increased
rents in the Company's  operating portfolio generated $17.0 million of increased
revenues  offset by the one-time fee of $3.1 million  earned from the  Company's
co-development program in September 1999.

     Management,  leasing and development fees decreased by $3.4 million to $3.1
million in the first nine months of 2000 as  compared  to $6.5  million in 1999.
This decrease was  primarily due to a fee of $3.1 million from a  co-development
property received in 1999 and decreases in fees from other co-development
properties offset  by  increases  in  fees  from  an  equity   property  under
development.

     Property  operating  expenses,  including real estate taxes and maintenance
and  repairs,  increased  in the first nine months of 2000 by $9.4  million,  or
13.6%,  to $78.9 million as compared to $69.5 million in 1999. This increase was
primarily the result of the addition of the six new centers referred to above.

                                   -14-

     Depreciation and amortization increased in the first nine months of 2000 by
$6.1 million,  or 15.8%,  to $45.0 million as compared to $38.9 million in 1999.
This  increase was  primarily  the result of the addition of the six new centers
referred to above.

     Interest  expense  increased  in the  first  nine  months  of 2000 by $10.4
million,  or 17.3%,  to $70.6 million as compared to $60.1 million in 1999. This
increase was primarily the result of interest on debt related to the addition of
the six new centers referred to above and increases in interest rates in the
first nine months of 2000 as compared to the interest rates in effect for
the same period in 1999.

     The gain on sales of real estate assets increased for the nine months ended
September  30, 2000 by $3.8 million to $13.3 million as compared to $9.5 million
in 1999.  The majority of gain on sales of $9.2 million in the first nine months
of 2000 resulted from the sales of eleven completed centers.  The balance of the
gains on sales were from outparcel  sales the majority of which occurred at Sand
Lake  Corners in  Orlando,  Florida,  Coastal  Way in Spring  Hill,  Florida and
Gunbarrel  Pointe in  Chattanooga,  Tennessee.  Gain on sales in the first  nine
months of 1999 was in connection with outparcel sales at the Company's Sand Lake
Corners in Orlando,  Florida  and The  Landing at Arbor  Place in  Douglasville,
Georgia and anchor pad sales at Chesterfield Crossing in Richmond, Virginia.

     Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased in the first nine
months of 2000 by $0.2  million to $2.6  million  from $2.4 million in the first
nine months of 1999  primarily  due to improved  operations  at existing  equity
centers.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The principal  uses of the Company's  liquidity and capital  resources have
historically been for property  development,  expansion and renovation programs,
acquisitions and debt repayment.  To maintain its qualification as a real estate
investment  trust under the Internal  Revenue  Code,  the Company is required to
distribute to its shareholders at least 95% of its "Real Estate Investment Trust
Taxable Income" as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code").

     As of  November  1, 2000,  the  Company  had $119.4  million  available  in
unfunded  construction and redevelopment  loans to be used for completion of the
construction  and  redevelopment  projects and  replenishment of working capital
previously  used for  construction.  Additionally,  as of November 1, 2000,  the
Company had obtained  revolving  credit lines  totaling  $240.0 million of which
$70.7  million was  available.  As a publicly  traded  company,  the Company has
access to capital  through both the public equity and debt markets.  The Company
has filed a Shelf  Registration  authorizing  shares of the Company's  preferred
stock and common stock and warrants to purchase  shares of the Company's  common
stock with an aggregate  public  offering  price of up to $350 million with $278
million remaining after the Company's preferred stock offering on June 30, 1998.
The Company  anticipates  that the  combination  of these sources will,  for the
foreseeable future,  provide adequate liquidity to continue its capital programs
substantially  as in the past  and make  distributions  to its  shareholders  in
accordance  with the Code's  requirements  applicable to real estate  investment
trusts.

     Management  expects to refinance the majority of the mortgage notes payable
maturing over the next five years with replacement loans.

                                   -15-

     The  Company's  policy is to maintain a  conservative  debt to total market
capitalization  ratio in order to enhance  its access to the  broadest  range of
capital  markets,  both  public  and  private.  The  Company's  current  capital
structure   includes   property   specific   mortgages,   which  are   generally
non-recourse,  revolving  lines of credit,  common stock,  preferred stock and a
minority  interest in the Operating  Partnership.  The minority  interest in the
Operating  Partnership  represents the 25.5% ownership interest in the Operating
Partnership  held by the  Company's  current  and  former  executive  and senior
officers which may be exchanged for  approximately  9.4 million shares of common
stock. Additionally,  Company executive officers and directors own approximately
1.9  million  shares  of the  outstanding  common  stock of the  Company,  for a
combined total interest in the Operating  Partnership  of  approximately  30.6%.
Ownership   interests   issued  to  fund   acquisitions  may  be  exchanged  for
approximately  2.4  million  shares  of common  stock  which  represents  a 6.6%
interest in the  Operating  Partnership.  Assuming  the  exchange of all limited
partnership interests in the Operating Partnership for common stock, there would
be outstanding  approximately  37.0 million shares of common stock with a market
value of  approximately  $927.1  million at  September  30,  2000  (based on the
closing price of $25.06 per share on September 30,  2000).  The Company's  total
market equity is $991.8  million which  includes 2.9 million shares of preferred
stock at the closing  price of $22.50 per share on September 30,  2000.  Company
executive  and  senior  officers'  ownership  interests  had a  market  value of
approximately $283.5 million at September 30, 2000.

     Mortgage debt consists of debt on certain  consolidated  properties as well
as on four properties in which the Company owns a  non-controlling  interest and
is accounted for under the equity method of  accounting.  At September 30, 2000,
the  Company's  share of funded  mortgage  debt on its  consolidated  properties
adjusted for minority investors' interests in nine properties was $1.378 billion
and its pro rata share of mortgage debt on unconsolidated  properties (accounted
for under the equity  method of  accounting)  was $47.9  million  for total debt
obligations of $1.426 billion with a weighted average interest rate of 7.39%.

     The Company's total  conventional  fixed rate debt as of September 30, 2000
was $847.2 million with a weighted average interest rate of 7.46% as compared to
7.41% as of September 30, 1999.

     The  Company's  variable  rate debt as of  September  30,  2000 was  $578.7
million with a weighted  average  interest rate of 7.30% as compared to 6.56% as
of September 30, 1999. Through the execution of swap agreements, the Company has
fixed the interest  rates on $443 million of debt on operating  properties  at a
weighted  average  interest  rate of 7.17%.  In  addition,  the  Company  had an
interest  rate cap in place on $50.0 million of variable rate debt leaving $85.7
million of debt subject to variable rates.  Interest expense associated with the
Company's  remaining  variable  rate debt of $85.7  million  is  capitalized  to
projects currently under construction  leaving no variable rate debt exposure on
operating properties as of September 30, 2000. There were no fees charged to the
Company related to its swap agreements. The Company's swap and cap agreements in
place at September 30, 2000 are as follows:

</TABLE>

     Based on the debt (including construction projects) and the market value of
equity described above, the Company's debt to total market  capitalization (debt
plus market value equity) ratio was 59.0% at September 30, 2000.

     During the quarter the Company  closed a $74.5  million  permanent  loan on
Burnsville Center in Minneapolis (Burnsville),  Minnesota. The net proceeds were
used to pay down $60.8  million in variable  rate debt and $12.8  million on the
Company's credit lines. The Company also closed a $5.2 million permanent loan on
Plaza del Sol Mall in Del Rio, Texas, a property accounted for under the equity
method of accounting.  The Company's  share of the proceeds of $4.5 million were
used to pay down the  Company's  credit  lines.  During the  quarter the Company
extended its credit line with Wells Fargo Bank to September  2002 and  increased
the credit facility by $10 million to #130 million.


DEVELOPMENT, EXPANSIONS, ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

     In August 2000, the Company opened a 171,000-square-foot phase I of Coastal
Way Shopping  Center in Spring  Hill,  Florida a  233,000-square-foot  community
center  anchored  by Sears and Belk.  Subsequent  to the end of the  quarter the
Company opened Gunbarrel Pointe in Chattanooga, Tennessee, a 282,000-square-foot
associated  center anchored by Target (which is non-Company owned), Goody's  and
Kohl's  and the  balance of  Chesterfield  Crossing  in  Richmond,  Virginia,  a
434,000-square-foot  power  center.  Home Depot and Wal*Mart  (both of which are
non-Company owned) had previously opened.

     Development  projects under  construction and scheduled to open during 2000
are:  an  expansion  to  Asheville   Mall  in  Asheville,   North   Carolina  of
160,000-square feet of which  85,000-square-feet  are Company owned retail shops
and a food court which are is scheduled to open  November  2000 and an expansion
to Meridian Mall in Lansing,  Michigan of 178,000-square-feet  opening in phases
in the Fall of 2000 and 2001. The Company also has under construction for a 2001
opening:  The  Lakes  Mall in  Muskegon,  Michigan  a  610,000-square  foot mall
anchored by Sears,  Yonkers and  JCPenney  which is  scheduled to open in August
2001  and  Creekwood  Crossing  in  Bradenton,   Florida  a  404,000-square-foot
community center anchored by Lowe's,  Bealls and K-Mart and scheduled to open in
April 2001. In June 2000 construction  began on the joint venture  redevelopment
of Parkway Place in  Huntsville,  Alabama  containing  639,000-square  feet. The
anchors are  Dillard's  and Parisian  with the full  redevelopment  scheduled to
reopen in the fall of 2002. The Company also has under  development  The Mall of
South Carolina in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, a 1,095,000-square-foot regional
mall.

                                   -17-
<PAGE>

     In September  2000, the Company sold the following five community  centers:
Centerview  Plaza  in  China  Grove,  North  Carolina,  Dorchester  Crossing  in
Charleston,  South  Carolina,  Hollins  Plantation  Plaza in Roanoke,  Virginia,
Sterling  Creek  Commons in  Portsmouth,  Virginia and Wildwood  Plaza in Salem,
Virginia.  Proceeds of $11.0 million were used to pay down the Company's  credit
lines and $3.3 million of sales proceeds,  proceeds of $1.2 million were used to
payoff loan were  placed in escrow in  anticipation  of a like-kind  exchange of
properties under section 1031 of the Code.

     The  Company  has  entered  into  a  standby  purchase   agreement  with  a
third-party  developer (the "Developer") for the  construction,  development and
potential  ownership  of one  community  center  in Texas  (the  "Co-Development
Project").  The Developer has utilized this standby purchase agreement to assist
in obtaining  financing to fund the construction of the Co-Development  Project.
The standby  purchase  agreement,  which  expires in 2000,  provides for certain
requirements or contingencies  to occur before the Company becomes  obligated to
fund its equity  contribution  or purchase  the  Co-Development  Project.  These
requirements or contingencies  include certain completion  requirements,  rental
levels,  the inability of the Developer to obtain adequate  permanent  financing
and  the  inability  to sell  the  Co-Development  Project.  In  return  for its
commitment to purchase the Co-Development Project pursuant to a standby purchase
agreement,  the Company  receives a fee as well as a  participation  interest in
either  the cash flow or gains  from sale on each  Co-Development  Project.  The
outstanding  amount  on the  standby  purchase  agreement  is $48.1  million  at
September  30, 2000.  In March 2000,  the Company  acquired The  Marketplace  at
Flower  Mound  in  Dallas  (Flower   Mound),   Texas  which  had  been  under  a
co-development  agreement.  The $11.1  million  purchase was funded from the net
sales  proceeds of Fiddler's Run in Morganton,  North Carolina and the Company's
credit line.

     The  Company  has  entered  into a  number  of  option  agreements  for the
development  of future  regional malls and community  centers.  Except for these
projects and as further  described  below,  the Company  currently  has no other
material capital commitments.

     It is  management's  expectation  that the  Company  will  continue to have
access to the capital  resources  necessary to expand and develop its  business.
Future development and acquisition  activities will be undertaken by the Company
as  suitable  opportunities  arise.  Such  activities  are  not  expected  to be
undertaken unless adequate sources of financing are available and a satisfactory
budget with targeted returns on investment has been internally approved.

     The Company  will fund its major  development,  expansion  and  acquisition
activities  with its  traditional  sources of  construction  and permanent  debt
financing  as well as from other debt and equity  financings,  including  public
financings,  and its credit facilities in a manner consistent with its intention
to operate with a conservative debt to total market capitalization ratio.


OTHER CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

     Management  prepares an annual capital expenditure budget for each property
which is intended  to provide  for all  necessary  recurring  and  non-recurring
capital improvements.  Management believes that its annual operating reserve for
maintenance and recurring capital  improvements and reimbursements  from tenants
will provide the necessary funding for such requirements. The Company intends to
distribute  approximately  55% - 90% of  its  funds  from  operations  with  the
remaining 10% - 45% to be held as a reserve for

                                   -18-
<PAGE>
capital  expenditures and continued growth  opportunities.  The Company believes
that this reserve will be sufficient to cover (I) tenant finish costs associated
with the renewal or  replacement of current tenant leases as their leases expire
and (II) capital expenditures which will not be reimbursed by tenants.

     Major  tenant  finish costs for  currently  vacant space are expected to be
funded with working  capital,  operating  reserves,  or the  revolving  lines of
credit, and a return on the funds so invested is expected to be earned.

     For the first nine months of 2000, revenue generating capital  expenditures
or  tenant  allowances  for  improvements  were  $7.5  million.   These  capital
expenditures  will generate  increased rents from these tenants over the term of
their leases. Revenue neutral capital expenditures, which are recovered from the
tenants,  were $6.2 million for the first nine months of 2000. Revenue enhancing
capital expenditures,  or remodeling and renovation costs, were $5.4 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

     The Company  believes that the Properties are in compliance in all material
respects with all federal,  state and local ordinances and regulations regarding
the  handling,  discharge  and  emission of hazardous  or toxic  substances.  At
Parkway  Place (which was acquired in December  1998)  approximately  350 square
feet of  ground  in the  vicinity  of a  former  auto  service  center  had been
identified as being  contaminated  with total petroleum  hydrocarbons  which has
been remediated during the demolition process. The Company has not been notified
by any  governmental  authority,  and is not  otherwise  aware,  of any material
noncompliance,  liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic  substances in
connection  with any of its  present or former  properties.  The Company has not
recorded in its financial  statements any material  liability in connection with
environmental matters.


CASH FLOWS

     Cash flows  provided by operating  activities  for the first nine months of
2000,  increased by $9.2 million,  or 11.8%, to $87.3 million from $78.1 million
in 1999.  This increase was primarily due to the six centers  opened or acquired
over the last fifteen  months and improved  operations in the existing  centers.
Cash  flows  used in  investing  activities  for the first  nine  months of 2000
decreased by $88.1 million, to $87.9 million compared to $176.0 million in 1999.
This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in  acquisitions  of $57.4 million
to $11.1 million as compared to the $68.5 million of  acquisitions in 1999. Cash
flows used in or provided by financing  activities  for the first nine months of
2000 decreased by $99.5 million,  to ($0.9) million compared to $98.6 million in
1999  primarily  due to  decreased  borrowings  related to the  development  and
acquisition program.



IMPACT OF INFLATION

     In the last three years,  inflation has not had a significant impact on the
Company because of the relatively low inflation rate.  Substantially  all tenant
leases do, however,  contain provisions designed to protect the Company from the
impact of inflation.  Such provisions  include  clauses  enabling the Company to
receive  percentage  rentals  based on tenant's  gross  sales,  which  generally
increase as prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which generally

                                   -19-
<PAGE>

increase rental rates during the terms of the leases.  In addition,  many of the
leases  are for terms of less than ten years  which may  enable  the  Company to
replace existing leases with new leases at higher base and/or percentage rentals
if rents of the existing leases are below the then-existing market rate. Most of
the  leases  require  the  tenants  to pay their  share of  operating  expenses,
including  common area  maintenance,  real estate taxes and  insurance,  thereby
reducing the  Company's  exposure to increases in costs and  operating  expenses
resulting from inflation.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 133 as amended by SFAS No 137 and
138, "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities".  SFAS No.
133  establishes   accounting  and  reporting  standards  requiring  that  every
derivative  instrument  (including  certain derivative  instruments  embedded in
other  contracts)  be  recorded  in the  balance  sheet  as  either  an asset or
liability  measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the
derivative's  fair value be  recognized  currently in earnings  unless  specific
hedge  accounting  criteria are met.  Special  accounting for qualifying  hedges
allows a derivative's  gains and losses to offset related  results on the hedged
item  in the  income  statement,  and  requires  that a  company formally
document,  designate,  and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive
hedge accounting.

     SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 2000.
SFAS No. 133 must be  applied  to (a)  derivative  instruments  and (b)  certain
derivative instruments embedded in hybrid contracts that were issued,  acquired,
or substantively modified after January 1, 1999.

     The Company has determined  that all of its derivative  instruments  (swaps
and a cap) in place are ineffective as defined by SFAS No. 133. The terms of the
derivative  instruments  expire in 2001,  thus while the Company may  experience
some volatility in earnings in interim  periods,  there will be no effect to the
Company's  financial  statements  for the year ended  December 31, 2001.  If the
Company had  implemented  SFAS No. 133 as of September  30,  2000,  total assets
would have  increased  by and  interest  expense  would have  decreased  by $1.5
million.


FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

     Management   believes  that  Funds  from  Operations  ("FFO")  provides  an
additional  indicator of the financial  performance  of the  Properties.  FFO is
defined by the Company as net income (loss) before  depreciation  of real estate
assets,  other non-cash items, gains or losses on sales of real estate and gains
or losses  on  investments  in  marketable  securities.  FFO also  includes  the
Company's  share  of FFO in  unconsolidated  properties  and  excludes  minority
interests'  share of FFO in  consolidated  properties  other than the  Operating
Partnership.   The  Company   computes  FFO  in  accordance  with  the  National
Association  of  Real  Estate  Investment   Trusts   ("NAREIT")   recommendation
concerning finance costs and non-real estate depreciation.  The Company excludes
gains or losses on outparcel  sales,  even though NAREIT permits their inclusion
when calculating FFO. Gains or losses on outparcel sales would have added to FFO
$1.3  million in the third  quarter of 2000 as compared to $0.8  million in 1999
and in the nine  months  ended  September  30, 2000 would have added to FFO $4.1
million compared to $9.3 million in 1999. -20-
<PAGE>

     Effective  January  1,  2000,  NAREIT  has  clarified  FFO to  include  all
operating  results - recurring and  non-recurring - except those results defined
as "extraordinary  items" as defined by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.  The Company  implemented this  clarification in the first
quarter of 2000 and will no longer add back to FFO the write-off of  development
costs  charged to net income.  This amount was $31,000 and $62,000 for the three
and nine months ended September 20, 2000, respectively.  Results for the quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 1999 were restated to reflect a reduction in
FFO of $82,000 and $970,000, respectively.

     The use of FFO as an indicator of financial  performance  is influenced not
only by the operations of the Properties,  but also by the capital  structure of
the Operating Partnership and the Company. Accordingly,  management expects that
FFO will be one of the significant  factors considered by the Board of Directors
in determining the amount of cash  distributions the Operating  Partnership will
make to its partners (including the REIT). FFO does not represent cash flow from
operations as defined by accounting  principles generally accepted in the United
States and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow
needs and should not be considered as an  alternative  to net  income(loss)  for
purposes of evaluating the Company's operating  performance or to cash flow as a
measure of liquidity.

     For the three  months  ended  September  30,  2000,  FFO  increased by $4.8
million, or 17.1%, to $32.6 million as compared to $27.8 million,  excluding the
$3.1 million fee earned in the co-development program in September 1999, for the
same period in 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, FFO increased
by $15.2 million, or 18.5%, to $97.1 million as compared to $81.9 million, again
excluding the $3.1 million fee earned in the co-development program in September
1999,  for the same period in 1999.  The  increases  in FFO for both periods was
primarily  attributable  to the new  developments  opened during 1999 and in the
