Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Chelsea Property Group, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses of Prime Retail Acquired Properties, as described in Note 1, for the year ended December 31, 1999. The combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses is the responsibility of the Properties’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in Chelsea Property Group, Inc.'s Current Report on Form 8-K and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Prime Retail Acquired Properties' revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the combined revenues and certain expenses of the Prime Retail Acquired Properties, as described in Note 1, for the year ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

The following four outlet centers (the Properties), which were owned and operated by Prime Retail, Inc., a self-administered, self-managed real estate investment trust, are included in the combined statements of revenues and certain expenses:

Name of Property                                 Location                                                                            
Prime Outlets at Kittery
Prime Outlets at Waterloo
Prime Outlets at Gilroy
Prime Outlets at Michigan City
York, Maine
Waterloo, New York
Gilroy, California
Michigan City, Indiana

The accompanying combined statements of revenues and certain expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the nine months ended September 30, 2000 (unaudited) were prepared for the purpose of complying with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, for inclusion in the Current Report on Form 8-K of Chelsea Property Group, Inc. (the Company), which acquired the Properties on December 22, 2000, in partnership with Fortress Investment Group, LLC. The accompanying combined financial statements are not representative of the actual operations of the Properties for the periods presented as certain expenses, which may not be comparable to the expenses to be incurred by the Company in the proposed future operations of the Properties, have been excluded. Items excluded consist of interest, depreciation and amortization, management fees, payments on a land lease for land purchased by Prime Retail, Inc. subsequent to September 30, 2000, and certain general and administrative expenses.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In the opinion of management of the Properties, the interim financial statement of revenues and certain expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Minimum rental income is recognized on a straightline basis over the term of the lease. Certain lease agreements contain provisions which provide for rents based on a percentage of sales or based on a percentage of sales volume above a specified threshold. These contingent rents are not recognized until the required thresholds are exceeded. In addition, the lease agreements generally provide for the reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, advertising and certain common area maintenance costs. These additional rents and tenant reimbursements are accounted for on the accrual basis.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Properties' results of operations are significantly dependent on the overall health of the retail industry. The Properties' tenant base is comprised almost exclusively of merchants in the retail industry. The retail industry is subject to external factors such as inflation, consumer confidence, unemployment rates and consumer tastes and preferences. A decline in the retail industry could reduce merchant sales, which could adversely affect the operating results of the Properties. A number of the merchants occupied space in more than one of the Properties' factory outlet centers; however, no single merchant accounts for more than 10% of the Prime Retail Acquired Properties' revenues.

In addition to traditional sources of risks to retailers and owners of outlet centers, which are mentioned above, the Properties compete for customers with web-based retailers. Because of the newness of competition from web-based retailers, it is difficult to quantify the risk of such competition to the Properties.

3. Related Party Transactions

The Properties reimbursed Prime Retail, L.P., an affiliate of Prime Retail, Inc. for (i) certain administrative costs, such as accounting and marketing costs, and (ii) operating costs paid on its behalf. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999, Prime Retail Acquired Properties incurred $546 and $790, respectively, for administrative costs.

4. Lease Agreements

The Prime Retail Acquired Properties are lessors of retail space under operating leases with lease terms that expire from 2000 to 2008. Most leases are renewable for five years at the lessee’s option. Future minimum base rent to be received under noncancelable operating leases in effect at December 31, 1999 was as follows:

         Year ending December 31,
              2000                                     $       23,805

5. Legal Proceedings

Prime Retail, Inc. and its affiliates were defendants in a lawsuit filed on August 10, 1999 in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City and removed to U. S. District Court for the District of Maryland (the "U.S. District Court") on August 20, 1999. The plaintiff alleged that Prime Retail, Inc. and its related entities, including certain of the Prime Retail Acquired Properties, overcharged tenants for common area maintenance charges and promotion fund charges. The U.S. District Court dismissed the lawsuit on June 19, 2000. The plaintiff has filed a notice of its appeal from the U.S. District Court's decision. Management believes that Prime Retail, Inc. has acted properly and intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously. Prime Retail, Inc. has indemnified the purchaser of the Properties against any losses related to this lawsuit.

The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 2000 has been prepared as if the Company's purchase of the Prime Retail Acquired Properties ("Acquired Properties") had been consummated on September 30, 2000. The pro forma condensed income statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and for the year ended December 31, 1999 are presented as if the purchase of the Acquired Properties occurred at January 1, 1999 and the effect thereof was carried forward.
