loan commitments obtained by the Company on December 18, 1995.
 
                          1996 NOMURA LOAN COMMITMENT
 
    The  Company has accepted the 1996  Nomura Loan Commitment with Nomura Asset
Capital Corporation ("Nomura")  which provides  for, among other  things, (i)  a
variable-rate  seven-year  cross-collateralized first  mortgage loan  (the "1996
Mortgage  Loan")  in  the  principal  amount  of  $226.5  million  and  (ii)   a
variable-rate   seven-year  cross-collateralized   second  mortgage   loan  (the
"Mezzanine Mortgage Loan") in the principal amount of $33.5 million. The Company
expects to close the 1996 Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Mortgage Loan in  July
1996.  The 1996  Nomura Loan  Commitment is  subject to  Nomura's customary real
estate due diligence review  of the thirteen  factory outlet centers  comprising
the  collateral and the  completion of appropriate  documentation. In connection
with the 1996 Nomura Loan Commitment,  the Company will pay Nomura a  commitment
fee at closing in the amount of $3.5 million. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in consummating such refinancing.
 
    The  1996 Mortgage Loan will  bear a variable rate  of interest equal to the
London Interbank  offered rate  for thirty  (30) day  deposits in  U.S.  dollars
("30-day LIBOR") plus 1.24% (plus trustee and servicing fees, which are expected
to  be 0.07% in the aggregate). The Mezzanine Mortgage Loan will bear a variable
rate of interest equal to  30-day LIBOR plus 3.25%.  The 1996 Mortgage Loan  and
the  Mezzanine Mortgage  Loan are  expected to  be securitized  by Nomura  on or
before September 30, 1996 (the "Securitization Closing Date"). In the event  the
Securitization  Closing Date  does not  occur by September  30, 1996,  or in the
event the Company  elects to terminate  the securitization and  repay the  loans
because  the terms  of the securitization  are unacceptable to  the Company, the
interest rate on the  Mezzanine Mortgage Loan will  increase to a variable  rate
per  annum equal  to 30-day LIBOR  plus 5.20%. Until  the Securitization Closing
Date, no payments of principal will be required under the 1996 Mortgage Loan and
the Mezzanine Mortgage  Loan. After  the Securitization Closing  Date, the  1996
Mortgage Loan will require monthly payments of principal and interest based on a
thirty-year
 
                                       1
<PAGE>
amortization  of principal and the Mezzanine  Mortgage Loan will require monthly
payments of principal and interest based  on the full amortization of  principal
within  seven years. The 1996 Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Mortgage Loan will
be  cross-collateralized   by  senior   and  junior   mortgages,   respectively,
encumbering  thirteen  of the  Company's  existing factory  outlet  centers. The
proceeds from the closing of the  1996 Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine  Mortgage
Loan  will be used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Loan, the
1994 Mortgage Loan (which may not be prepaid prior to July 1, 1996), the Interim
Loan and a portion of the Company's $16.0 million fixed rate mortgage loan.  The
remaining  proceeds will  be used for  the purchase of  interest rate protection
contracts, the costs  and expenses of  the refinancing and  for working  capital
purposes.
 
    In  connection with the commitment to provide the 1996 Mortgage Loan and the
Mezzanine Mortgage Loan,  the Company and  Nomura have agreed  that, subject  to
certain  conditions, the Company and Nomura will  share the risks or rewards, as
the case may be, with regard to the securitization of the 1996 Mortgage Loan. If
the actual interest rate  spread over 30-day LIBOR  deviates from 1.24% for  the
Senior  Certificates  (as  defined below),  the  appropriate party  will  make a
payment to  the other  based on  the  present value  of such  deviation  applied
against  the principal balance of the Senior Certificates. If the Securitization
Closing Date  does not  occur  within six  months of  the  closing of  the  1996
Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Mortgage Loan, Nomura may demand payment of such
loans in full six months after delivery of such demand notice. It is anticipated
that  the  1996 Mortgage  Loan will  be securitized  at investment  grade levels
through the  issuance  of  Real Estate  Mortgage  Investment  Company  ("REMIC")
certificates (the "Senior Certificates") and the Mezzanine Mortgage Loan will be
securitized  through the  issuance of  REMIC certificates  or another acceptable
securitization vehicle (the "Junior Certificates"). In addition, the 1996 Nomura
Loan Commitment requires that, prior to the securitization, the Company purchase
interest rate protection contracts with regard to the 1996 Mortgage Loan and the
Mezzanine  Mortgage  Loan  when  and  if  30-day  LIBOR  exceeds  6.50%.   After
securitization,   the  Company  will  be  required  to  purchase  interest  rate
protection contracts for the seven-year term of such loans and for the principal
amount of the Senior  Certificates. It is estimated  that the proceeds from  the
sale  of the  Senior Certificates and  the Junior Certificates  and the proceeds
from the cash flow  loan (described below) will  approximate $260.0 million.  In
the  event that  loan proceeds  available from  the Senior  Certificates and the
Junior Certificates are less than $260.0 million, Nomura has agreed to  provide,
subject  to certain conditions  (including the consent  of the applicable rating
agencies), a loan based on the cash flow of the Property Partnerships which  own
the  thirteen factory outlet  centers in the principal  amount of the difference
between $260.0 million and such  loan proceeds. In the  event that the net  cash
flow from the thirteen outlet centers is less than a mutually agreed upon amount
and  the securitization  results in  less than  $260.0 million  in proceeds, the
Company will be required to pay to Nomura such difference at the closing of  the
securitization. The Company intends to purchase the Junior Certificates with the
proceeds  of a financing from Nomura  (the "Repo Financing"). The Repo Financing
will require monthly payments  of interest only  and will be for  a term of  two
years and will be recourse to the Operating Partnership. The Repo Financing will
be  subject to daily  mark-to-market and margin calls.  Interest will be payable
for 75% of the par value of the Junior Certificates at the rate of 30-day  LIBOR
plus  1.95% and for the  balance of the par value  of the Junior Certificates at
the rate of 30-day  LIBOR plus 7.0%. The  weighted average annual interest  rate
(including  the  estimated  annual  amortization  of  interest  rate  protection
contracts) on the $260.0 million of  securitized loans is initially expected  to
be  approximately 7.66%. There can be  no assurance that the securitization will
be completed on such terms.
 
    The existing Revolving Loan with Nomura  will not be terminated as a  result
of  the transactions contemplated  by the 1996  Nomura Loan Commitment; however,
the collateral  currently pledged  thereunder will  be released  and pledged  to
Nomura  under  the  1996 Mortgage  Loan  and  the Mezzanine  Mortgage  Loan. The
Revolving Loan will be available, subject to sufficient collateral being pledged
to Nomura, for acquisitions, expansions and new outlet centers.
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
    Upon terms acceptable to the Company and the rating agencies involved in the
securitization, an amount between $25.0 million to $50.0 million in addition  to
the $260.0 million of securitized loans may be raised by the securitization and,
if  so, will be held in  escrow by Nomura. These funds  may be drawn upon by the
Company, subject to the satisfaction  of certain objective standards  acceptable
to  the  Company and  such  rating agencies,  for  the cost  of  construction of
expansions at the thirteen mortgaged outlet centers.
 
    In connection with  the execution of  the 1996 Nomura  Loan Commitment,  the
Company  expects to  incur a non-recurring  loss of  approximately $10.1 million
that will be recorded during  the three months ending  June 30, 1996. This  loss
results  from the expected  prepayment of the Revolving  Loan, the 1994 Mortgage
Loan, the anticipated termination  of previously obtained financing  commitments
with  respect to  the proposed  First Mortgage Loan  and the  proposed Term Loan
(together, the "1995 Nomura Loan Commitments")  for which the Company paid  $3.3
million  in  nonrefundable financing  fees,  and the  repayment  in full  of the
Interim Loan.  The  loss includes  the  estimated unamortized  cost  of  certain
interest rate protection contracts of $3.7 million as of July 31, 1996 that will
be  terminated  upon  repayment  of  the  debt  underlying  the  contracts, debt
prepayment penalties of $0.8 million and other deferred financing costs of  $4.5
million,  less the estimated  fair market value of  the interest rate protection
contracts of approximately $2.2 million based on their fair market value at  May
30,  1996. Upon termination and sale  of the interest rate protection contracts,
the Company will receive proceeds  based on the then  fair market value of  such
contracts. The future fair market value of interest rate protection contracts is
susceptible  to valuation fluctuations based on market changes in interest rates
and the maturity date of the underlying contracts.
 
    The Company  believes that  the loan  facilities to  be provided  by  Nomura
pursuant to the 1996 Nomura Loan Commitment will provide annual interest savings
in  excess of  $4.0 million  based on  interest rates  as of  June 4,  1996 when
compared to the terms provided by the 1995 Nomura Loan Commitments. In  addition
to  a more attractive  interest rate, other benefits  include no lock-out period
with respect to prepayment, no prepayment penalties after two years,  collateral
substitution  provisions and a larger  escrow of funds for  the expansion of the
mortgaged outlet centers.
 
                         GROVE CITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT
 
    The Company and the Grove City Partner have entered into an agreement  dated
as of May 6, 1996 (the "Grove City Purchase Agreement") in which the Company has
agreed,  subject to  certain conditions, to  purchase on or  before February 28,
1997 all of the  Grove City Partner's ownership  interest in Grove City  Factory
Shops  Partnership, the Property  Partnership which owns  the Grove City Factory
Shops. Following the completion of such  transaction, the Company will own  100%
of  Grove City  Factory Shops Partnership.  As consideration for  the Grove City
Partner's partnership  interest, the  Company has  agreed under  the Grove  City
Purchase  Agreement, at closing, to  pay $8.0 million in  cash to the Grove City
Partner and to repay all of  the then outstanding indebtedness secured by  Grove
City  Factory Shops, which indebtedness is owed to the Grove City Partner by the
Grove City  Factory  Shops  Partnership.  At March  31,  1996,  the  outstanding
indebtedness  relating to the construction of Phases I, II and III of Grove City
Factory Shops was $43.5 million.
 
    The Grove City Purchase Agreement also  provides for the Grove City  Partner
and  the Company to finance, develop and  construct a fourth phase of the center
which will contain  approximately 118,000 square  feet of GLA.  Under the  Grove
City  Purchase Agreement,  an affiliate  of the Grove  City Partner  will make a
construction loan to  the Company  in the  aggregate principal  amount of  $11.0
million  for the construction of Phase IV. Construction of Phase IV commenced in
May 1996 and is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 1996 at an
expected cost of completion of $13.5  million. The Company is obligated to  fund
any  construction costs in  excess of $11.0  million. No assurance  can be given
that this expansion will  be completed on schedule,  with the indicated GLA,  or
that the total estimated construction cost will not be exceeded.
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
    Under  the  Grove  City  Purchase Agreement,  if  the  Company  breaches any
material representation,  warranty,  covenant or  agreement  or if  the  Company
defaults  under the Grove  City Purchase Agreement, the  Company is obligated to
pay liquidated damages to the Grove City Partner in the amount of $2.0  million.
In  the event  the Grove  City Purchase Agreement  is terminated  for any reason
other than  by  reason of  the  Grove City  Partner's  default thereunder  or  a
condemnation  of or casualty  to this property,  the Grove City  Partner will be
entitled to an $8.0 million preferred distribution (after payment of outstanding
indebtedness and return of capital contributions with respect to Phase IV)  from
the  proceeds of any subsequent sale of the property. No assurance can be given,
however, that conditions to  the Grove City  Purchase will be  met or that  such
transaction will be completed.
 
                   INCREASE IN SIZE OF COMMON STOCK OFFERING
 
    The Company has increased the number of shares of Common Stock it intends to
offer  in  the Common  Stock Offering.  The Company  intends to  offer 3,705,000
shares of Common Stock in the Common Stock Offering (4,260,750 shares of  Common
Stock  if the over-allotment option granted  to the Underwriters is exercised in
full) and expects that the net proceeds  from the Common Stock Offering will  be
approximately $40.2 million (assuming a public offering price of $11.75 and that
the  Underwriters' over-allotment option is  not exercised). In addition, 90,328
shares of  Common  Stock will  be  offered  by KILICO  Realty  Corporation  (the
"Selling  Stockholder"),  the proceeds  of  which will  not  be received  by the
Company. Following  consummation of  the  Common Stock  Offering and  the  Offer
(assuming   the  exchange  of  the  minimum  number  of  outstanding  shares  of
Convertible Preferred Stock  permitted to  be exchanged),  11,159,928 shares  of
Common  Stock will be outstanding and  4,209,000 shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock will be outstanding  (and assuming the exchange  of the maximum number  of
outstanding  shares of  Convertible Preferred  Stock permitted  to be exchanged,
13,404,728 shares of Common  Stock will be outstanding  and 2,806,000 shares  of
Convertible Preferred Stock will be outstanding). The net proceeds of the Common
Stock Offering will be used by the Company to acquire additional Common Units in
the  Operating Partnership,  all of which  will be entitled  to the Preferential
Distribution.  Immediately  following  the  consummation  of  the  Common  Stock
Offering,  the Company will  own 56.8% of  the Common Units  (61.2% assuming the
exchange of the maximum  number of outstanding  shares of Convertible  Preferred
Stock permitted to be exchanged).
 
    Following  the  Common  Stock  Offering and  assuming  the  exchange  of the
proposed minimum number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock permitted to be
exchanged pursuant  to the  Offer, Funds  from Operations  must equal  at  least
$10,439,735  (the  "FFO  Threshold  Amount")  per  quarter  for  four successive
quarters for  the  Preferential  Distribution to  terminate  (and  assuming  the
maximum  number  of  shares  of  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  permitted  to be
exchanged  pursuant  to  the  Offer,  the  FFO  Threshold  Amount  would   equal
$10,347,371). After giving pro forma effect to the Common Stock Offering and the
Offer  (regardless  of  the  number of  shares  of  Convertible  Preferred Stock
tendered), the Company's Funds from Operations for each of the four quarters  in
the  year ended December  31, 1995 were  $8,803,129, $8,656,539, $9,079,315, and
$9,672,726, respectively.
 
    Following the  consummation of  the Common  Stock Offering,  the  percentage
ownership of the Company, by PGI, Messrs. Rosenthal and Carpenter and the public
holders  of Common Stock would be 2.2%, 0.1% and 97.7%, respectively (1.9%, less
than 0.1% and 98.1%, respectively, assuming  the exchange of the maximum  number
of outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock permitted to be exchanged).
Following  the consummation of the Common Stock Offering and the Offer and after
giving effect  to the  conversion of  all of  the Common  Units, the  percentage

                            SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
 
    The  following summary  selected financial data  for the  three months ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995  and the year ended December  31, 1995 are derived  from
the  consolidated financial statements of the Company included elsewhere in this
Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus. Results for interim periods may not be
indicative of  results for  a  full year.  The following  financial  information
should  be read  in conjunction  with "Management's  Discussion and  Analysis of
Financial Condition and  Results of  Operations" and  the financial  statements,
notes  thereto  and  other  financial  information  included  elsewhere  in this
Prospectus Supplement. In addition, the Operating Partnership believes that  the
book  value of the Properties,  which reflects the historical  cost of such real
estate assets less accumulated depreciation, is not indicative of the fair value
of the Properties.

NOTES:
 
(1) Net loss per common share is based on 2,875 shares outstanding for the three
    months ended March 31,  1996 and 1995  and for the  year ended December  31,
    1995.
 
(2)  Management  believes  that  to  facilitate  a  clear  understanding  of the
    consolidated  historical  operating  results  of  the  Company,  Funds  from
    Operations  should be  considered in conjunction  with net  income (loss) as
    presented  in  the  financial   statements  included  in  this   Prospectus.
    Management  generally  considers FFO  to be  an  appropriate measure  of the
    performance of an equity  real estate investment  trust. FFO represents  net
    income  (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses
    from debt  restructuring  and  sales  of  property,  plus  depreciation  and
    amortization   and   after   adjustments   for   unconsolidated   investment
    partnerships and  joint  ventures.  In  March  1995,  the  NAREIT  issued  a
    clarification  of its  definition of FFO.  Although the  Company reports FFO
    under both the old definition and the clarified definition, FFO presented in
    this table  does not  give effect  to the  clarification. See  "Management's
    Discussion  and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations --
    Liquidity and  Capital  Resources --  Funds  from Operations."  The  Company
    cautions  that the calculation of FFO may  vary from entity to entity and as
    such the presentation of FFO by the  Company may not be comparable to  other
    similarly  titled  measures  of  other  reporting  companies.  FFO  does not
    represent cash flow from operating
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
    activities in accordance with GAAP and  is not indicative of cash  available
    to  fund all of the Company's cash needs. FFO should not be considered as an
    alternative to  net income  or any  other GAAP  measure as  an indicator  of
    performance and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow as a
    measure  of liquidity or the ability to  service debt or to pay dividends. A
    reconciliation  of  income  before  allocation  to  minority  interests  and
    preferred shareholders to FFO is as follows:

    consist of interest costs whether  expensed or capitalized and  amortization
    of debt issuance costs and preferred stock dividends.

    protection contracts and  capitalized interest plus  combined fixed  charges
    and preferred stock dividends (as defined in note 3 above).

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE, UNIT INFORMATION AND GLA)
 
INTRODUCTION
 
    The  following  discussion  and  analysis  of  the  consolidated   financial
condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction
with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto. Historical results
and  percentage relationships set forth herein are not necessarily indicative of
future operations.
 
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
 
    The  following  discussion  in  "Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of
Financial  Condition and Results of Operations" contains certain forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 which reflect management's current views with respect to future events  and
financial  performance. Such  forward-looking statements are  subject to certain
risks and uncertainties, including,  but not limited to,  the effects of  future
events  on the Company's financial performance; the risk that the Company may be
unable to  finance its  planned  development activities;  risks related  to  the
retail industry in which the Company's factory outlet centers compete, including
the  potential adverse impact  of external factors,  such as inflation, consumer
confidence, unemployment  rates  and  consumer  tastes  and  preferences;  risks
associated  with  the Company's  property  development activities,  such  as the
potential for cost overruns, delays and the lack of predictability with  respect
to  the financial returns associated with these development activities; the risk
of potential increase in  market interest rates from  current levels; and  risks
associated  with real estate ownership, such  as the potential adverse impact of
changes in local economic climate on the revenues and the value of the Company's
properties.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
GENERAL
 
    The Company has grown by developing and acquiring factory outlet centers and
expanding its  existing factory  outlet centers.  The Company's  factory  outlet
portfolio  consisted  of  seventeen operating  factory  outlet  centers totaling
4,331,000 square feet  of GLA at  March 31, 1996,  compared to fourteen  factory
outlet  centers totaling  3,382,000 square  feet of GLA  at March  31, 1995. The
Company opened three new factory outlet centers and four expansions of  existing
factory  outlet centers  during the  third and  fourth quarters  of 1995, adding
949,000 square feet  of GLA in  the aggregate. The  significant increase in  the
number  of operating properties and total GLA  at March 31, 1996 compared to the
portfolio of properties at  March 31, 1995, is  collectively referred to as  the
"Portfolio Expansion."
 
COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1995
 
SUMMARY
 
    For  the three months ended March 31,  1996, the Company reported net income
of $4,534 on total revenues of $21,131. For the same period in 1995, the Company
reported net income of $4,608 on total revenues of $17,274. For the three months
ended March 31,  1996 and 1995,  the loss allocated  to common shareholders  was
$702,  or  $0.24  per  common  share,  and  $628,  or  $0.22  per  common share,
respectively.
 
REVENUES
 
    Total revenues were $21,131  for the three months  ended March 31, 1996,  as
compared  to $17,274 for the  three months ended March  31, 1995, an increase of
$3,857, or 22.3%.  Base rents increased  $2,072, or 19.4%,  in 1996 compared  to
1995.   These  increases   are  primarily   due  to   the  Portfolio  Expansion.
Straight-line rents (included in base rents)  were $156 and $182 for the  months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

    Tenant reimbursements, which represent the contractual recovery from tenants
of  certain operating expenses, increased by  $1,266, or 26.0%, during the three
months ended March 31, 1996  over the same period  in 1995. These increases  are
primarily  due to the Portfolio Expansion. Tenant reimbursements as a percentage
of recoverable operating expenses, which include property operating expenses and
real estate taxes, increased to 100.8% from 97.4% during the three months  ended
March  31,  1996  and  1995,  respectively.  This  positive  trend  reflects the
Company's continued  efforts to  contain operating  expenses at  its  properties
while requiring merchants to pay their pro-rata share of these expenses.
 
    Income  from investment partnerships increased by  $311 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 over  the same period in  1995. This increase is  primarily
due  to the openings of Grove City Factory Shops (Phase III --November 1995) and
Arizona Factory Shops  (Phase I --  September 1995). Interest  and other  income
increased  by $166, or 13.9%, to $1,364  during the three months ended March 31,
1996 as  compared to  $1,198 for  the three  months ended  March 31,  1995.  The
increase  is attributable to  higher lease termination  income, late fee income,
property management fees,  interest income  and ancillary income  of $380,  $60,
$46,  $39  and  $31,  respectively,  offset  by  lower  leasing  commissions and
construction management fees of $390.
 
EXPENSES
 
    Property operating expenses increased by $849,  or 22.5%, to $4,619 for  the
three  months ended  March 31, 1996  compared to  $3,770 for the  same period in
1995. Real estate taxes  increased by $239,  or 19.4%, to  $1,473 for the  three
months  ended  March 31,  1996, from  $1,234 in  the same  period for  1995. The
increases in property operating expenses and real estate taxes are primarily due
to the Portfolio Expansion. As shown  in TABLE 1, depreciation and  amortization
expense  increased by $782, or 21.7%, to $4,387 for the three months ended March
31,  1996,  compared  to  $3,605  for  1995.  This  increase  results  from  the
depreciation and amortization of assets associated with the Portfolio Expansion.

    As  shown in TABLE 2, interest expense  for the three months ended March 31,
1996, increased by $1,600, or 35.9%, to  $6,056 compared to $4,456 for the  same
period  in 1995. This increase is primarily the result of an increase of $72,541
in total debt outstanding at March  31, 1996 compared to total debt  outstanding
at  March 31, 1995. Also reflected in the increase was increased amortization of
deferred financing costs  of $44; a  decrease in interest  earned from  interest
rate  protection contracts of  $159; and an  increase in the  amount of interest
capitalized in connection  with new  development projects of  $32. The  weighted
average interest rate for bonds and notes payable at March 31, 1996 and 1995 was
7.15% and 7.78%, respectively.
 
    Other  charges increased by  $423, or 189.7%,  to $646 for  the three months
ended March 31, 1996 compared to $223 for the same period in 1995. This increase
reflects higher provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable and potentially
unsuccessful pre-development efforts of $167  and $65, respectively, as well  as
increases  in marketing costs  and miscellaneous operating  expenses of $111 and
$80, respectively.
 
    In connection with re-leasing space  to new merchants, the Company  incurred
$19  and $162 in  capital expenditures during  the three months  ended March 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
SOURCES AND USES OF CASH
 
    For the three months  ended March 31, 1996,  net cash provided by  operating
activities  was $9,219.  Cash used in  investing activities was  $11,748 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996. The primary use of these funds was for  costs
associated  with  the development  and construction  of  two new  factory outlet
centers and seven  expansions of  existing factory outlet  centers scheduled  to
open  during the remainder of 1996; costs  associated with the completion of two
factory outlet centers and  three expansions opened during  1995; and costs  for
pre-development activities associated with future developments. Net cash used in
financing  activities was $9,809 for the three  months ended March 31, 1996. The
principal uses of  these funds were  the payment of  certain deferred  financing
costs  of $1,679, including $1,277 to a financial institution in connection with
proposed financing activities;  distributions to  minority interests  (including
distributions  to the limited partner unit holders) of $2,112; and preferred and
common stock distributions of $6,084.
 
    On March  2, 1995,  the Company  closed on  a $160,000  revolving loan  (the
"Revolving   Loan")  with  Nomura  Asset  Capital  Corporation  ("Nomura").  The
Revolving Loan  bears interest  at  30-day LIBOR  plus 2.25%,  requires  monthly
interest-only  payments and matures on December 31, 1996. The Company can extend
the maturity of  the Revolving  Loan for  a period of  one year  subject to  its
satisfaction  of  certain  financial  loan  covenants.  The  Revolving  Loan  is
guaranteed by the Operating Partnership and seven property partnerships, and  is
cross-collateralized  by  first mortgages  on seven  factory outlet  centers and
certain related assets. The  Revolving Loan prohibits additional  collateralized
indebtedness  on these properties and  requires compliance with certain monetary
and non-monetary  covenants.  The  Revolving  Loan  agreement  contains  certain
covenants regarding the payment of
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
distributions  and dividends if at any date  the debt service coverage ratio, as
defined, falls below a minimum threshold. As of March 31, 1996, the Company  was
in  compliance with monetary, non-monetary  and debt service coverage covenants.
The principal balance outstanding under the Revolving Loan at March 31, 1996 was
$145,478 and the interest rate was 7.56%.
 
    The amount available to be drawn by the Company under the Revolving Loan  at
any  time during the term of the facility  is calculated based upon the net cash
flow from the collateral, as defined. The collateral pool of the Revolving  Loan
can  be expanded,  subject to lender  approval, by  adding properties, including
properties under development, that satisfy  certain criteria relating to,  among
other  things, the level of executed leases and the amount of projected net cash
flow. At March 31, 1996,  the Revolving Loan was  fully drawn based on  executed
leases  and projected  net cash flow  of the collateral,  as defined. Management
intends to use a portion  of the net proceeds  of approximately $40,248 from  an
anticipated  common  stock  offering  (the  "Common  Stock  Offering")  to repay
outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Loan.
 
    Effective December 31, 1995, the Company's $16,000 fixed rate mortgage  loan
that  was scheduled to mature  on that date was  modified to extend the maturity
date to July 31, 1996 at a fixed rate of interest at 8.00%. On January 30, 1996,
the Company  obtained from  a commercial  mortgage company  a commitment  for  a
mortgage  loan in  an amount not  to exceed  $7,000 for an  eight-year term (the
"Refinancing Loan"). The Refinancing Loan will bear a fixed interest rate  based
on  eight-year  Treasury notes  plus 2.60%  and  requires monthly  principal and
interest payments based on a 16-year amortization schedule. The Company  intends
to  close on the Refinancing Loan by  July 31, 1996 with approximately $9,000 of
the net proceeds from the 1996 Mortgage Loan.
 
    On May 7, 1996, the Company  renewed and increased to $15,000 its  unsecured
corporate  line of credit  (the "Corporate Line"). The  purpose of the Corporate
Line is  to provide  working capital  to facilitate  the funding  of  short-term
operating cash needs of the Company. The Corporate Line bears interest at 30-day
LIBOR  plus 2.50% and matures  on July 11, 1997.  No amounts were outstanding at
March 31, 1996 under the Corporate Line.
 
    On December 18,  1995, the Company  obtained from Nomura  a $35,000  interim
loan  (the "Interim  Loan") collateralized by  second mortgages  on two existing
factory outlet centers.  The Interim Loan  bears interest at  30-day LIBOR  plus
2.25%,  matures on  July 31, 1996,  and requires  monthly interest-only payments
prior to  maturity. The  principal balance  outstanding at  March 31,  1996  was
$10,000.  The Interim  Loan will  be repaid from  proceeds of  the 1996 Mortgage
Loan.
 
    On December 18, 1995, the Company also obtained from Nomura a commitment for
a ten-year $233,000 first mortgage loan and a commitment for a five-year $22,500
term loan (the "1995 Nomura Loan Commitments").
 
    The Company has accepted the 1996 Nomura Loan Commitment which provides for,
among other things, (i) the 1996 Mortgage Loan in the principal amount of $226.5
million and (ii) the  Mezzanine Mortgage Loan in  the principal amount of  $33.5
million.  The Company expects to close the  1996 Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine
Mortgage Loan  in July  1996. The  1996  Nomura Loan  Commitment is  subject  to
Nomura's  customary real  estate due  diligence review  of the  thirteen factory
outlet centers  comprising  the collateral  and  the completion  of  appropriate
documentation.  In connection with the 1996  Nomura Loan Commitment, the Company
will pay Nomura a commitment fee at closing in the amount of $3.5 million. There
can be no  assurance that the  Company will be  successful in consummating  such
refinancing.
 
    The 1996 Mortgage Loan will bear a variable rate of interest equal to 30-day
LIBOR  plus 1.24%  (plus trustee  and servicing fees,  which are  expected to be
0.07% in the aggregate). The Mezzanine  Mortgage Loan will bear a variable  rate
of  interest equal to  30-day LIBOR plus  3.25%. The 1996  Mortgage Loan and the
Mezzanine Mortgage Loan are  expected to be securitized  by Nomura on or  before
the  Securitization Closing Date.  In the event  the Securitization Closing Date
does not occur  by September 30,  1996, or in  the event the  Company elects  to
terminate the securitization and repay the
 
                                       17
<PAGE>
loans  because the terms of the  securitization are unacceptable to the Company,
the interest rate  on the Mezzanine  Mortgage Loan will  increase to a  variable
rate  per  annum equal  to  30-day LIBOR  plus  5.20%. Until  the Securitization
Closing Date, no payments of principal will be required under the 1996  Mortgage
Loan and the Mezzanine Mortgage Loan. After the Securitization Closing Date, the
1996 Mortgage Loan will require monthly payments of principal and interest based
on  a thirty-year amortization of principal and the Mezzanine Mortgage Loan will
require  monthly  payments  of  principal   and  interest  based  on  the   full
amortization  of principal  within seven years.  The 1996 Mortgage  Loan and the
Mezzanine Mortgage  Loan  will  be cross-collateralized  by  senior  and  junior
mortgages,  respectively, encumbering thirteen of the Company's existing factory
outlet centers. The proceeds from the closing of the 1996 Mortgage Loan and  the
Mezzanine  Mortgage Loan will be used  to repay outstanding borrowings under the
Revolving Loan, the 1994 Mortgage Loan (which  may not be prepaid prior to  July
1,  1996), the Interim Loan  and a portion of  the Company's $16.0 million fixed
rate mortgage loan.  The remaining  proceeds will be  used for  the purchase  of
interest  rate protection contracts,  the costs and  expenses of the refinancing
and for working capital purposes.
 
    In connection with the commitment to provide the 1996 Mortgage Loan and  the
Mezzanine  Mortgage Loan,  the Company and  Nomura have agreed  that, subject to
certain conditions, the Company and Nomura  will share the risks or rewards,  as
the case may be, with regard to the securitization of the 1996 Mortgage Loan. If
the  actual interest rate spread  over 30-day LIBOR deviates  from 1.24% for the
Senior Certificates, the  appropriate party  will make  a payment  to the  other
based  on  the present  value of  such deviation  applied against  the principal
balance of the Senior Certificates. If the Securitization Closing Date does  not
occur  within  six months  of  the closing  of the  1996  Mortgage Loan  and the
Mezzanine Mortgage Loan,  Nomura may demand  payment of such  loans in full  six
months  after delivery of  such demand notice.  It is anticipated  that the 1996
Mortgage Loan  will  be  securitized  at investment  grade  levels  through  the
issuance  of the  Senior Certificates  and the  Mezzanine Mortgage  Loan will be
securitized through the issuance  of the Junior  Certificates. In addition,  the
1996  Nomura Loan  Commitment requires  that, prior  to the  securitization, the
Company purchase  interest rate  protection contracts  with regard  to the  1996
Mortgage  Loan and the Mezzanine Mortgage Loan  when and if 30-day LIBOR exceeds
6.50%. After securitization, the Company  will be required to purchase  interest
rate  protection contracts  for the  seven-year term of  such loans  and for the
principal amount of the Senior Certificates.  It is estimated that the  proceeds
from  the sale of  the Senior Certificates  and the Junior  Certificates and the
proceeds from  the cash  flow  loan (described  below) will  approximate  $260.0
million.  In the event that loan proceeds available from the Senior Certificates
and the Junior Certificates are less  than $260.0 million, Nomura has agreed  to
provide,  subject to certain conditions (including the consent of the applicable
rating agencies), a  loan based on  the cash flow  of the Property  Partnerships
which  own the thirteen  factory outlet centers  in the principal  amount of the
difference between $260.0 million and such loan proceeds. In the event that  the
net  cash flow from the  thirteen outlet centers is  less than a mutually agreed
upon amount  and the  securitization  results in  less  than $260.0  million  in
proceeds,  the Company will be required to  pay to Nomura such difference at the
closing of  the  securitization. The  Company  intends to  purchase  the  Junior
Certificates  with the proceeds  of the Repo Financing.  The Repo Financing will
require monthly payments of interest  only and will be for  a term of two  years
and  will be recourse to  the Operating Partnership. The  Repo Financing will be
subject to daily mark-to-market and margin  calls. Interest will be payable  for
75% of the par value of the Junior Certificates at the rate of 30-day LIBOR plus
1.95%  and for the  balance of the par  value of the  Junior Certificates at the
rate of  30-day LIBOR  plus  7.0%. The  weighted  average annual  interest  rate
(including  the  estimated  annual  amortization  of  interest  rate  protection
contracts) on the $260.0 million of  securitized loans is initially expected  to
be  approximately 7.66%. There can be  no assurance that the securitization will
be completed on such terms.
 
    The existing Revolving Loan with Nomura  will not be terminated as a  result
of  the transactions contemplated  by the 1996  Nomura Loan Commitment; however,
the collateral currently pledged
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
thereunder will be released and pledged  to Nomura under the 1996 Mortgage  Loan
and  the Mezzanine Mortgage Loan. The  Revolving Loan will be available, subject
to sufficient collateral being pledged  to Nomura, for acquisitions,  expansions
and new outlet centers.
 
    Upon terms acceptable to the Company and the rating agencies involved in the
securitization,  an amount between $25.0 million to $50.0 million in addition to
the $260.0 million of securitized loans may be raised by the securitization and,
if so, will be held in  escrow by Nomura. These funds  may be drawn upon by  the
Company,  subject to the satisfaction  of certain objective standards acceptable
to the  Company  and such  rating  agencies, for  the  cost of  construction  of
expansions at the thirteen mortgaged outlet centers.
 
    In  connection with  the execution of  the 1996 Nomura  Loan Commitment, the
Company expects to  incur a  non-recurring loss of  approximately $10.1  million
that  will be recorded during  the three months ending  June 30, 1996. This loss
results from the expected  prepayment of the Revolving  Loan, the 1994  Mortgage
Loan,  the anticipated termination of the 1995 Nomura Loan Commitments for which
the Company paid $3.3 million in nonrefundable financing fees, and the repayment
in full of the Interim Loan. The loss includes the estimated unamortized cost of
certain interest rate protection contracts of  $3.7 million as of July 31,  1996
that  will be  terminated upon repayment  of the debt  underlying the contracts,
debt prepayment penalties of $0.8 million and other deferred financing costs  of
$4.5  million,  less  the  estimated  fair market  value  of  the  interest rate
protection contracts of approximately  $2.2 million based  on their fair  market
value at May 30, 1996. Upon termination and sale of the interest rate protection
contracts, the Company will receive proceeds based on the then fair market value
of  such contracts.  The future  fair market  value of  interest rate protection
contracts is susceptible to  valuation fluctuations based  on market changes  in
interest rates and the maturity date of the underlying contracts.
 
    The  Company  believes that  the loan  facilities to  be provided  by Nomura
pursuant to the 1996 Nomura Loan Commitment will provide annual interest savings
in excess  of $4.0  million based  on interest  rates as  of June  4, 1996  when
compared  to the terms provided by the 1995 Nomura Loan Commitments. In addition
to a more attractive  interest rate, other benefits  include no lock-out  period
with  respect to prepayment, no prepayment penalties after two years, collateral
substitution provisions and a  larger escrow of funds  for the expansion of  the
mortgaged outlet centers.
 
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
 
    Management   believes  that   there  is  sufficient   demand  for  continued
development of new  factory outlet  centers and expansions  of certain  existing
factory  outlet  centers.  The  Company expects  to  open  between approximately
700,000  and  900,000  square  feet  of   GLA  during  1996.  Of  this   amount,
approximately  440,000 square feet relates to the development of two new factory
outlet centers and the balance relates to planned expansions of existing factory
outlet centers. At March 31, 1996, the aggregate remaining capital  expenditures
for  the new  factory outlet  centers and  expansions expected  to open  in 1996
ranged between  approximately  $75,000  and  $95,000.  The  aggregate  remaining
capital expenditures for new factory outlet centers and expansions opened during
the  year  ended December  31,  1995 (aggregating  949,000  square feet  of GLA)
approximated $7,000.

NOTE:
 
(1)  No assurance can be given that  these factory outlet centers will be opened
    on schedule with the indicated GLA. Additionally, no assurance can be  given
    that the estimated construction costs will not be exceeded.
 
    With  regard to planned new factory  outlet centers and expansions scheduled
to open in 1997, which are expected to contain approximately 800,000 square feet
of GLA in the aggregate, at  a total development cost of approximately  $88,000,
the  Company expects  to fund  approximately 37%  of these  new projects through
joint ventures with an  unrelated third party. The  Company expects to fund  the
development   cost  for  the  balance  of   its  new  1997  projects  from:  (a)
approximately 70%  to 75%  of cost  from proceeds  available on  line of  credit
facilities, and (b) the balance of cost (25% to 30%) from a variety of potential
sources,  including excess proceeds from securitized loan transactions, retained
cash flow from operations, and the potential sale of common or preferred  equity
in  the public or private  capital markets. As of March  31, 1996, there were no
material commitments with regard to the 1997 planned development activity.
 
DEBT REPAYMENTS AND PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS
 
    The Company's aggregate indebtedness was $306,020 and $305,954 at March  31,
1996  and December 31, 1995, respectively.  At March 31, 1996, such indebtedness
had a weighted average  maturity of 3.8  years and bore  interest at a  weighted
average  interest rate of 7.15% per annum.  At March 31, 1996, $24,984, or 8.2%,
of such indebtedness  bore interest at  fixed rates and  $281,036, or 91.8%,  of
such  indebtedness,  including $28,250  of  tax-exempt bonds,  bore  interest at
variable rates.
 
    At March 31, 1996,  the Company held interest  rate protection contracts  on
$28,250  of floating rate tax-exempt indebtedness  and $97,309 of other floating
rate  indebtedness  (or   approximately  44.7%  of   its  total  floating   rate
indebtedness).  These  contracts  expire  in  1999  and  2000,  respectively. In
addition, the  Company held  additional interest  rate protection  contracts  on
$43,900  of  the  $97,309  floating  rate  indebtedness  to  further  reduce the
Company's exposure to increases in interest rates.
 
                                       20
<PAGE>
    The Company's ratio of debt to total market capitalization (defined as total
long term debt  divided by the  sum of: (a)  the aggregate market  value of  the
outstanding  shares of Common Stock, assuming  the full exchange of Common Units
into Common Stock; (b) the aggregate  market value of the outstanding shares  of
Convertible  Preferred Stock;  (c) the  aggregate liquidation  preference of the
Senior Preferred Stock at $25.00 per share; and (d) the total long-term debt  of
the Company) was 49.3% at March 31, 1996.
 
    The  Company is obligated to repay  $172,834 of mortgage indebtedness during
the remainder of  1996. The  Company may  extend for one  year the  term of  its
Revolving  Loan which  is currently  scheduled to  expire on  December 31, 1996.
Annualized cumulative  dividends on  the Company's  Senior Preferred  Stock  and
Convertible   Preferred  Stock  are  $6,037  and  $14,907,  respectively.  These
dividends are payable quarterly, in arrears.
 
    The Company anticipates that cash  flow from operations, together with  cash
available  from  borrowings  and  other sources,  including  proceeds  from debt
refinancing, will  be  sufficient  to  satisfy  its  debt  service  obligations,
expected dividend requirements and operating cash needs for the next year.
 
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
 
    Substantially  all of the merchants' leases contain provisions that somewhat
mitigate the impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses providing  for
increases  in base rent  and clauses enabling the  Company to receive percentage
rentals based  on  merchants'  gross sales.  Substantially  all  leases  require
merchants  to  pay their  proportionate share  of operating  expenses, including
common area maintenance, real estate  taxes and promotion, thereby reducing  the
Company's  exposure  to increased  costs and  operating expenses  resulting from
inflation. At March 31,  1996, the Company  maintained interest rate  protection
contracts  to protect  against increases in  interest rates  on certain floating
rate indebtedness (see "Debt Repayments and Preferred Stock Dividends").
 
    The Company intends to  reduce operating and leasing  risks by managing  its
existing  portfolio of  properties with  the goal  of improving  its tenant mix,
rental rates and lease terms and attracting high fashion, upscale  manufacturers
and national brand-name manufacturers as merchants.
 
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
    In  March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "ACCOUNTING FOR THE  IMPAIRMENT
OF  LONG-LIVED  ASSETS  AND FOR  LONG-LIVED  ASSETS  TO BE  DISPOSED  OF", which
requires  impairment  losses  to  be  recorded  on  long-lived  assets  used  in
operations when indicators of impairment are present and undiscounted cash flows
estimated  to be generated  by those assets  are less than  the assets' carrying
amount. SFAS No. 121  also addresses the accounting  for long-lived assets  that
are  expected to be disposed  of. The Company adopted SFAS  No. 121 in the first
quarter of 1996 and  had no effect on  the consolidated financial statements  of
the Company.
 
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
 
    Management  believes  that  to  facilitate  a  clear  understanding  of  the
Company's operating results, Funds from Operations ("FFO") should be  considered
in  conjunction with net income (loss) presented in accordance with GAAP. FFO is
defined as  net income  (loss) (determined  in accordance  with GAAP)  excluding
gains   (or  losses)  from  debt  restructuring  and  sales  of  property,  plus
depreciation and amortization after adjustments for unconsolidated  partnerships
and joint ventures.
 
    The Company generally considers FFO an appropriate measure of performance of
an  equity  real estate  investment  trust. Historical  FFO  may or  may  not be
indicative of future FFO. FFO does  not represent cash generated from  operating
activities  in accordance with  GAAP (which, unlike  FFO, generally reflects all
cash effects of transactions and other events that enter into the  determination
of  net income), is  not necessarily indicative  of cash flow  available to fund
cash needs and should not  be considered an alternative  to net income or  other
GAAP measures as an indication of the Company's performance or an alternative to
cash  flow as  a measure  of liquidity  or the  ability to  service debt  or pay
dividends.
 
                                       21
<PAGE>
    The Company cautions  that the calculation  of FFO may  vary from entity  to
entity  and as such the presentation of FFO by the Company may not be comparable
to other similarly titled measures of other reporting companies.
 
    In March 1995,  the National  Association of Real  Estate Investment  Trusts
established  guidelines clarifying the definition of  FFO (as modified, the "New
Definition"). The Company reports FFO under both the old definition and the  New
Definition.  For the Company, the primary  impact of adopting the New Definition
will be a reduction in FFO since the amortization of capitalized debt costs  and
depreciation  of  non-real estate  assets are  not added  back to  income before
allocations to minority interests and preferred shareholders. TABLE 4 provides a
reconciliation of income before allocations to minority interests and  preferred
shareholders  to FFO, under both the old  definition and the New Definition, for
the three months ended March 31,  1996 and 1995. FFO (old definition)  increased
$883,  or 11.0%, to $8,916 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $8,033
for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1995.  This  increase  is  primarily
attributable to the Portfolio Expansion.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND UNIT INFORMATION)
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1 -- INTERIM FINANCIAL PRESENTATION
    The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  have been
prepared in accordance  with generally accepted  accounting principles  ("GAAP")
for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they  do not include all  of the information and  footnotes required by GAAP for
complete financial statements.  In the  opinion of  management, all  adjustments
consisting   only  of  recurring  accruals   considered  necessary  for  a  fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for such interim periods  are
not  necessarily indicative  of the  results which  may be  expected for  a full
fiscal year.  For  further  information, refer  to  the  consolidated  financial
statements  for  the year  ended December  31, 1995  and notes  thereto included
elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
    Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the Company  herein
mean  Prime Retail, Inc. and those entities owned or controlled by Prime Retail,
Inc.,  including  Prime   Retail,  L.P.  (the   "Operating  Partnership").   The
consolidated  financial  statements include  the  accounts of  the  Company, the
Operating Partnership and  the partnerships  in which the  Company has  majority
interest  or control.  Profits and losses  are allocated in  accordance with the
terms of  the agreement  of limited  partnership of  the Operating  Partnership.
Investments  in  partnerships in  which the  Company  does not  have operational
control or a  majority interest  are accounted for  under the  equity method  of
accounting.  Income (loss) applicable to minority interests and common shares as
presented in the  consolidated statements  of operations is  allocated based  on
income  (loss)  before minority  interests after  income allocated  to preferred
shareholders.
 
    The preparation of  financial statements  in conformity  with GAAP  requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets  and liabilities and  disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at
the date of the  financial statements and the  reported amounts of revenues  and
expenses  during the  reporting period. Actual  results could  differ from those
estimates.  Significant  intercompany  accounts   and  transactions  have   been
eliminated  in consolidation.  Certain financial  statement amounts  and related
footnote  information  have  been  reclassified  to  conform  with  the  current
presentation.  These  reclassifications  have  not  changed  previously reported
results or shareholders' equity.
 
NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
    In March  1995, the  Financial Accounting  Standards Board  ("FASB")  issued
Statement  of Financial Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No.  121, "ACCOUNTING FOR
THE IMPAIRMENT OF  LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND  FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS  TO BE  DISPOSED
OF",  which requires impairment losses to  be recorded on long-lived assets used
in operations when  indicators of  impairment are present  and the  undiscounted
cash  flows estimated to be generated by  those assets are less than the assets'
carrying amount.  SFAS No.  121  also addresses  the accounting  for  long-lived
assets  that are expected to be disposed of. The Company adopted SFAS No. 121 in
the first quarter of  1996 and the  adoption had no  effect on the  consolidated
financial statements of the Company.
 
NOTE 3 -- BONDS AND NOTES PAYABLE
    On January 30, 1996, the Company obtained from a commercial mortgage company
a  commitment for  a mortgage  loan in  an amount  not to  exceed $7,000  for an
eight-year term (the "Refinancing Loan"). The Refinancing Loan will bear a fixed
interest rate based on  eight-year Treasury notes  plus 2.60%, requires  monthly
principal  and interest  payments based on  a 16-year  amortization schedule and
will be  collateralized by  property  in Lombard,  IL.  The commitment  for  the
Refinancing Loan expires on August 1, 1996.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
NOTE 3 -- BONDS AND NOTES PAYABLE (CONTINUED)
    The   Company  has  accepted  a  loan  commitment  (the  "1996  Nomura  Loan
Commitment") with  Nomura Asset  Capital Corporation  ("Nomura") which  provides
for,  among other  things, (i)  a variable-rate  seven-year cross-collateralized
first mortgage loan (the "1996 Mortgage Loan") in the principal amount of $226.5
million and (ii) a variable-rate seven-year cross-collateralized second mortgage
loan (the "Mezzanine Mortgage Loan") in  the principal amount of $33.5  million.
The  Company expects to close the 1996  Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Mortgage
Loan in  July 1996.  The 1996  Nomura  Loan Commitment  is subject  to  Nomura's
customary  real  estate  due diligence  review  of the  thirteen  factory outlet
centers  comprising   the  collateral   and   the  completion   of   appropriate
documentation.  In connection with the 1996  Nomura Loan Commitment, the Company
will pay Nomura a commitment fee at closing in the amount of $3.5 million. There
can be no  assurance that the  Company will be  successful in consummating  such
refinancing.
 
    The  1996 Mortgage Loan will  bear a variable rate  of interest equal to the
London Interbank  offered rate  for thirty  (30) day  deposits in  U.S.  dollars
("30-day LIBOR") plus 1.24% (plus trustee and servicing fees, which are expected
to  be 0.07% in the aggregate). The Mezzanine Mortgage Loan will bear a variable
rate of interest equal to  30-day LIBOR plus 3.25%.  The 1996 Mortgage Loan  and
the  Mezzanine Mortgage  Loan are  expected to  be securitized  by Nomura  on or
before September 30, 1996 (the "Securitization Closing Date"). In the event  the
Securitization Closing Date does not occur by September 30, 1996 or in the event
the  Company elects to terminate the  securitization and repay the loans because
the terms of the  securitization are unacceptable to  the Company, the  interest
rate  on the Mezzanine Mortgage Loan will  increase to a variable rate per annum
equal to 30-day  LIBOR plus  5.20%. Until  the Securitization  Closing Date,  no
payments  of principal  will be  required under the  1996 Mortgage  Loan and the
Mezzanine Mortgage  Loan.  After  the  Securitization  Closing  Date,  the  1996
Mortgage Loan will require monthly payments of principal and interest based on a
thirty-year  amortization  of principal  and  the Mezzanine  Mortgage  Loan will
require  monthly  payments  of  principal   and  interest  based  on  the   full
amortization  of principal  within seven years.  The 1996 Mortgage  Loan and the
Mezzanine Mortgage  Loan  will  be cross-collateralized  by  senior  and  junior
mortgages,  respectively, encumbering thirteen of the Company's existing factory
outlet centers. The proceeds from the closing of the 1996 Mortgage Loan and  the
Mezzanine  Mortgage Loan will be used  to repay outstanding borrowings under the
Agreement dated March  2, 1995  relating to a  loan in  the aggregate  principal
amount of $160.0 million (the "Revolving Loan"), the Open-End Mortgage Agreement
Assignment of Rents and Fixture Filing dated June 30, 1994 relating to a loan in
the  principal amount of $100.0 million (which  may not be prepaid prior to July
1, 1996) (the "1994 Mortgage Loan"),  the Interim Loan entered into on  December
18,  1995 in the  principal amount of  $35.0 million (the  "Interim Loan") and a
portion of the Company's  $16.0 million fixed rate  mortage loan. The  remaining
proceeds  will be used  for the purchase of  interest rate protection contracts,
the costs and expenses of the refinancing and for working capital purposes.
 
    In connection with the commitment to provide the 1996 Mortgage Loan and  the
Mezzanine  Mortgage Loan,  the Company and  Nomura have agreed  that, subject to
certain conditions, the Company and Nomura  will share the risks or rewards,  as
the case may be, with regard to the securitization of the 1996 Mortgage Loan. If
the  actual interest rate spread  over 30-day LIBOR deviates  from 1.24% for the
Senior Certificates  (as  defined below),  the  appropriate party  will  make  a
payment  to  the other  based on  the  present value  of such  deviation applied
against the principal balance of the Senior Certificates. If the  Securitization
Closing  Date  does not  occur  within six  months of  the  closing of  the 1996
Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Mortgage Loan, Nomura may demand payment of such
loans in full six months after delivery of such demand notice. It is anticipated
that the  1996 Mortgage  Loan will  be securitized  at investment  grade  levels
through the issuance of Real Estate

Mortgage  Investment Company ("REMIC")  certificates (the "Senior Certificates")
and the Mezzanine  Mortgage Loan  will be  securitized through  the issuance  of
REMIC  certificates or  another acceptable  securitization vehicle  (the "Junior
Certificates"). In  addition, the  1996 Nomura  Loan Commitment  requires  that,
prior  to  the securitization,  the  Company purchase  interest  rate protection
contracts with regard to the 1996 Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Mortgage  Loan
when  and if 30-day LIBOR exceeds  6.50%. After securitization, the Company will
be required to purchase  interest rate protection  contracts for the  seven-year
term  of such loans and for the  principal amount of the Senior Certificates. It
is estimated that the proceeds from the sale of the Senior Certificates and  the
Junior  Certificates and the proceeds from  the cash flow loan (described below)
will approximate $260.0 million. In the event that loan proceeds available  from
the  Senior  Certificates  and  the Junior  Certificates  are  less  than $260.0
million, Nomura has agreed to provide, subject to certain conditions  (including
the consent of the applicable rating agencies), a loan based on the cash flow of
the  Property Partnerships which own the  thirteen factory outlet centers in the
principal amount  of  the  difference  between  $260.0  million  and  such  loan
proceeds.  In the event that the net  cash flow from the thirteen outlet centers
is less than  a mutually agreed  upon amount and  the securitization results  in
less  than $260.0 million  in proceeds, the  Company will be  required to pay to
Nomura such difference at the closing of the securitization. The Company intends
to purchase the Junior Certificates with the proceeds of a financing from Nomura
(the "Repo  Financing"). The  Repo Financing  will require  monthly payments  of
interest  only and will be for  a term of two years  and will be recourse to the
Operating  Partnership.   The  Repo   Financing  will   be  subject   to   daily
mark-to-market  and margin calls.  Interest will be  payable for 75%  of the par
value of the Junior Certificates at the rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 1.95% and  for
the  balance of the par  value of the Junior Certificates  at the rate of 30-day
LIBOR plus  7.0%.  The weighted  average  annual interest  rate  (including  the
estimated  annual  amortization of  interest rate  protection contracts)  on the
$260.0 million of securitized  loans is initially  expected to be  approximately
7.66%.  There can be no  assurance that the securitization  will be completed on
such terms.
 
    The existing Revolving Loan with Nomura  will not be terminated as a  result
of  the transactions contemplated  by the 1996  Nomura Loan Commitment; however,
the collateral  currently pledged  thereunder will  be released  and pledged  to
Nomura  under  the  1996 Mortgage  Loan  and  the Mezzanine  Mortgage  Loan. The
Revolving Loan will be available, subject to sufficient collateral being pledged
to Nomura, for acquisitions, expansions and new outlet centers.
 
    Upon terms acceptable to the Company and the rating agencies involved in the
securitization, an amount between $25.0 million to $50.0 million in addition  to
the $260.0 million of securitized loans may be raised by the securitization and,
if  so, will be held in  escrow by Nomura. These funds  may be drawn upon by the
Company, subject to the satisfaction  of certain objective standards  acceptable
to  the  Company and  such  rating agencies,  for  the cost  of  construction of
expansions at the thirteen mortgaged outlet centers.
 
    In connection with  the execution of  the 1996 Nomura  Loan Commitment,  the
Company  expects to  incur a non-recurring  loss of  approximately $10.1 million
that will be recorded during  the three months ending  June 30, 1996. This  loss
results  from the expected  prepayment of the Revolving  Loan, the 1994 Mortgage
Loan, the anticipated termination  of previously obtained financing  commitments
from  Nomura for which the Company  paid $3.3 million in nonrefundable financing
fees and  the repayment  in full  of the  Interim Loan.  The loss  includes  the
estimated unamortized cost of certain interest rate protection contracts of $3.7
million  as of July 31, 1996 that will  be terminated upon repayment of the debt
underlying the contracts, debt  prepayment penalties of  $0.8 million and  other
deferred  financing costs of $4.5 million,  less the estimated fair market value
of the interest rate

protection contracts of approximately  $2.2 million based  on their fair  market
value at May 30, 1996. Upon termination and sale of the interest rate protection
contracts, the Company will receive proceeds based on the then fair market value
of  such contracts.  The future  fair market  value of  interest rate protection
contracts is susceptible to  valuation fluctuations based  on market changes  in
interest rates and the maturity date of the underlying contracts.
 
NOTE 4 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
    In  the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to certain legal
actions. While any  litigation contains  an element  of uncertainty,  management
believes  that losses, if any, resulting from such matters, including the matter
described below, will  not have a  material adverse effect  on the  consolidated
financial statements of the Company.
 
    The  Company is a defendant in a lawsuit  filed on June 14, 1995 in the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia whereby the plaintiffs
allege that the Company breached a confidentiality agreement entered into by the
Predecessor and the  plaintiffs in connection  with the proposed  purchase of  a
factory  outlet  center  in  Martinsburg, West  Virginia.  The  outcome  and the
ultimate liability of the Company, if  any, of this lawsuit cannot currently  be
predicted.  Management believes, however, that it has acted properly and intends
to defend this lawsuit vigorously.
