Part I, Item I of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995
is deleted and replaced in its entirety by the following:

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

FORMATION OF THE COMPANY

   DeBartolo Realty Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the "REIT" and, together
with its subsidiaries and operating affiliates, sometimes referred to as the
"Company"), was incorporated on August 3, 1993 to continue and expand the
shopping mall ownership, management and development business of The Edward J.
DeBartolo Corporation ("EJDC") in a portfolio of 51 super-regional and regional
malls (the "DeBartolo Malls"), 11 community centers and land containing an
aggregate of approximately 455 acres of land held for development (collectively,
the "DeBartolo Properties"). Substantially all of the Company's assets are held
by, and its operations are conducted through DeBartolo Realty Partnership, L.P.,
a Delaware limited partnership (the "OP"), and DeBartolo Capital Partnership, a
Delaware general partnership (the "FP"). The REIT is the sole managing general
partner of the OP and, through a subsidiary, of the FP. The OP owns
substantially all of the partnership interests in the FP. In 1995 substantially
all property management and development activities were conducted for the OP and
the FP through an affiliate, DeBartolo Properties Management, Inc. (the
"Property Manager"). The OP owns a 95% beneficial interest in the Property
Manager.

   On April 21, 1994, the REIT completed an initial public offering of
38,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common
Stock"), at $14.75 per share (the "IPO"). Net proceeds to the REIT after
underwriting discounts and other costs were approximately $498 million. The REIT
acquired a 47.8% general partnership interest in the OP in exchange for its
contribution of these net proceeds to the OP. Of this amount, the OP repaid
certain property mortgage and other indebtedness; paid prepayment penalties,
interest rate buy downs, interest rate limiting agreements and loan costs
associated with the mortgage debt.

   Concurrently with the completion of the IPO, the FP completed a $455 million
principal amount securitized debt financing (the "Securitized Debt Financing")
at a weighted average interest rate of 7.39%. The proceeds were used to
refinance or repay debt on 17 DeBartolo Properties, with certain proceeds
remaining in reserve for renovation, redevelopment and environmental remediation
of such properties.

   At the time of the IPO, EJDC and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the
"DeBartolo Group") and certain current and former employees of EJDC contributed
to the OP interests in the DeBartolo Properties (and certain other assets) in
exchange for a 41.7% aggregate limited partnership interest in the OP. In
addition, JCP Realty, Inc. ("JCP") contributed to the OP interests in certain
DeBartolo Properties in exchange for a 1.3% limited partnership interest in the
OP. Two investment funds, BJS Capital Partners, L.P. ("BJS"), which held debt of
EJDC, and The Morgan Stanley Real Estate Fund, L.P. ("MSREF") which held debt
secured by three DeBartolo Properties, exchanged for, or accepted as payment on,
their debt, OP interests held by EJDC aggregating 9.2% of the OP limited
partnership interests. The REIT acquired these interests from BJS and MSREF in
exchange for a total of 7,329,253 shares of Common Stock. MSREF subsequently
assigned its Common Stock to MS Youngstown General Partnership ("MSY").

   On May 19, 1994, the REIT issued an additional 3,336,900 shares of Common
Stock pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment
option granted in connection with the IPO ("Over-allotment Option"). As a result
of this sale and subsequent contribution of net proceeds to the OP, the REIT
acquired an additional 1.8% partnership interest in the OP. The OP used net
proceeds of the Over-allotment Option, after underwriting discounts and other
costs, to repay indebtedness.

    Pursuant to an Exchange Rights Agreement, in April 1995 the Company filed a
registration statement for the issuance of 34,168,347 shares of common stock.
The Exchange Rights Agreement provides for the conversion of the limited partner
interests to shares of common stock. The Exchange Rights Agreement is subject to
certain restrictions relating to the initial exercise period, minimum value of
interest exchanged, and ownership limitations.

   In connection with formation of the Company, the Company received options to
acquire the interests of the estate of Edward J. DeBartolo and other members of
his family and affiliates in four DeBartolo Malls and one community center. On
July 1, 1995, the Company exercised these options and acquired a 12.8% interest
in Miami International Mall, 10.1% interests in University Park Mall and
University Center and 0.1% interests in Coral Square and Lakeland Square. The
purchase price of approximately $9.4 million was paid in limited partnership
interests in the OP. As a result of these acquisitions, the Company's percentage
ownership in the OP decreased from 58.8% to 58.3%.

   On August 1, 1995, the Company completed a public offering of 6,000,000
shares of common stock at an offering price of $14 1/4 per share raising net
proceeds of approximately $80.4 million. The Company contributed the net
proceeds to the OP, which used the net proceeds to retire mortgage debt
(including any related prepayment penalties) encumbering two DeBartolo Malls and
a partial paydown of debt encumbering a third DeBartolo Mall. As a result of the
contribution by the Company to the OP of the net proceeds of the offering, the
Company's percentage ownership in the OP increased from 58.3% to 61.1%.

   During August 1995, EJDC agreed with a lender to exchange limited partnership
interests in the OP to retire EJDC debt. The lender immediately exchanged the
limited partnership interests in the OP for common stock of the Company. As a
result of this transaction, the Company's percentage ownership in the OP
increased from 61.1% to 61.8%. On September 1, 1995, the Company filed a
registration statement for the issuance of 500,000 shares of common stock under
a dividend reinvestment program, including an open enrollment feature.
Consequently, as additional shares of common stock of the Company are issued
under the dividend reinvestment program, the Company's ownership in the OP will
increase.

   The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March
26, 1996 (the "Agreement"), among Simon Property Group, Inc., a Maryland
corporation ("SPG"), its merger subsidiary and the Company, pursuant to which
the Company agreed to merge with the merger subsidiary. The Agreement provides
for the exchange of all outstanding Company common stock for SPG common stock,
$0.0001 par value (the "SPG Common Stock"), at an exchange ratio of 0.68 shares
of SPG Common Stock for each share of Company common stock. The merger is
subject to the approval of shareholders of both SPG and the Company and other
conditions. The new entity will be renamed Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc.

   As used in this annual report on Form 10-K, the term "Total GLA" refers to
gross leasable area, including Anchors (whether they own or lease their stores)
and Mall Store areas. The term "Anchor" generally refers to a department store
or other large retail store in excess of 60,000 square feet. The term "Mall
Stores" refers to stores (other than Anchors) that are typically specialty
retailers and lease space in shopping centers. The term "Mall GLA" refers to the
Total GLA of Mall Stores only. The term "Outside Partners" means unaffiliated
third parties with interests in the Partially Owned Property Partnerships. The
term "Partially Owned Property Partnerships" means the 19 Property Partnerships
in which the OP owns less than 100% of the equity interests. The term "Property
Partnerships" means property partnerships that own title to any of the DeBartolo
Properties. The term "REIT Formation" is defined as, collectively, (i) the
completion of the asset contributions in the formation of the Company; (ii) the
completion of the IPO, including the exercise of the Over-allotment Option and
the Securitized Debt Financing; (iii) the completion of debt exchange
transactions with BJS and MSY; (iv) the contribution by JCP and the EJDC
employees of their interests in certain DeBartolo Properties; and (v) the
completion of certain refinancings of mortgage indebtedness of the DeBartolo
Properties.

OPERATING STRATEGIES

   The Company's fundamental strategy is to capitalize on the growth
opportunities already existing in its portfolio of properties with the goal of
increasing cash available per share for distribution. In conjunction with this
primary focus, new developments and acquisitions will be pursued on a selective
basis.

    The Company has four strategies that capitalize on its competitive
advantages and position the Company to achieve internal growth:

         -   Strategic expansions and renovations;
         -   Lease revenue enhancement through:
             --    re-leasing space at market rates;
             --    negotiating contractual rent increases;
             --    generating increased occupancy through Anchor additions and
                   replacements; and
             --    recapturing underproductive GLA and retenanting such space 
                   with more productive users;
         -   Improved operating margins; and
         -   Selective new developments and acquisitions.

         STRATEGIC EXPANSIONS AND RENOVATIONS

         Historically, expansions and major renovations of DeBartolo Malls have
been a substantial source of increased cash flow. The Company focuses its
expansion and renovation programs primarily where additions or replacements of
Anchors are planned and where market rents on major lease rollovers can be
further increased. The addition of food courts, theaters and other
traffic-generating tenants are frequently integrated with these programs. The
effect is to leverage renovation dollars by targeting key opportunities to
reinvigorate the merchandising, leasing and marketing of a mall and its
peripheral property. Related investments by Anchors in expanding or renovating
their stores provide additional leverage. Approximately $250 million has been
invested by Anchors at the DeBartolo Malls over the past five years. This
strategic program is further strengthened by the Company's relationships with
national department store operators, such as Dillard's, Federated, May Co.,
JCPenney, Sears and Dayton Hudson, all of which have expanded their presence
within the portfolio. Most of the DeBartolo Malls were designed to allow for
expansion and growth through the addition or expansion of Anchors or Mall
Stores.

         The Company believes that incremental investments in its existing
properties in established markets often provide more attractive returns than new
developments or acquisitions. In 1995, the Company identified a five-year
strategic expansion and renovation program. Consistent with this internal growth
strategy, in 1995 the Company completed a portion of these projects and has
pursued negotiations and other predevelopment activities on other potential
projects in order to capitalize on investment opportunities within the
portfolio. These predevelopment activities have allowed the Company to
accelerate some projects, enhance the scope of other projects and generally
expand the strategic expansion and renovation program.

         The Company believes that expansion and renovation projects will
continue to be attractive investments. Expansions may contribute to cash
available per share for distribution based on dollars generated from new leases,
common area maintenance contributions and/or real estate tax payments, and are
intended to increase the market share of each of the expanded DeBartolo
Properties by broadening the tenant mix with the addition of the most up-to-date
retail formats and additional Anchors (or specialty anchors). These projects can
be as significant as new shopping center construction in terms of rents
generated as well as in scope and cost. In addition, the Company is evaluating
opportunities across the portfolio to convert common areas or other non-revenue
producing space into Mall GLA where feasible.



                                        4

         Management believes that it has capital, and the ability to access
additional capital resources, sufficient to expand and develop its business in
accordance with its strategies for growth. However, any determination by the
Company to undertake any expansion or renovation in the future would depend on a
number of factors, which in all cases may include but are not limited to the
availability of financing, the ability to obtain any necessary governmental
approvals, the satisfaction of conditions in existing agreements, the receipt of
any necessary consents and approvals from Anchors, mortgagees, partners and
other third parties and the Company's judgment of the ultimate economic
viability of the expansion, including whether sufficient demand continues to
exist for any proposed additional space.

         The Company is currently engaged in developing a number of strategic
expansions and renovations. The Company believes that its growth strategies are
applicable throughout its portfolio of properties and will continue to review
its existing portfolio for opportunities to increase cash flow per share from
strategic expansions and renovations. Of the DeBartolo Malls, there are 40 malls
that have sales per square foot in excess of $200. These malls are, on average,
87% leased, with average sales per square foot of $284 and contribute over 90%
of the portfolio's EBITDA (hereinafter defined), with the 11 community centers
contributing another 5% of the Company's EBITDA. It is on these properties that
the Company will focus the majority of its strategic expansions and renovations.
The Company generally sets a higher return requirement to approve repositioning
investments on the remainder of the portfolio due to the higher level of risk
entailed with these projects. A few of the Company's properties, however, may
not satisfy its return requirements. The Company may consider alternative
strategies for these assets. For example, the Company divested Pinellas Square
as of March 1, 1996, a non-core asset. Consequently, the Pinellas operating
statistics for 1995 will not be included in the Company's overall statistics
relating to Comparable Mall Stores Sales, Occupancy Rates, Anchor statistics,
Mall Store statistics, and any statistics for years 1996 and thereafter as set
forth in this Form 10-K.

LEASE REVENUE ENHANCEMENT

         The Company's leasing strategy is designed to produce revenue growth
both in the rollover of expiring leases and in negotiating contractual rent
increases.

         The Company merchandises shopping centers to meet market demands,
consumer needs and specific retail growth sectors in order to enhance the
productivity of its centers. The depth of the Company's leasing operations
enables it to plan the optimum merchandising mix for a property in any location
and recruit the retail, restaurant and entertainment tenants most likely to
build traffic and revenues. In implementing its leasing strategy, the Company
has created (i) an Entertainment Leasing Division with special expertise in
planning and developing theaters, lifestyle restaurants, family entertainment
and other special attractions and (ii) a Specialty Anchor Division with special
expertise in planning and implementing specialty anchors into the mall mix with
Mall Stores and traditional Anchors.

         Re-leasing Space at Market Rates. The Company seeks to generate
additional revenues by reletting Mall GLA at higher rental rates as leases
expire. In 1995, approximately 6.8% of the Mall GLA at the DeBartolo Malls was
relet at an average initial minimum rent of $25.10 per square foot, representing
a 23% increase over the average ending rent for those leases. The average
initial minimum rent on the Mall Store leases signed in 1995, excluding the
86,787 square feet relet to specialty anchors, was $26.51 per square foot,
representing a 20.2% increase over the average expiring rents of $22.06 for this
space. The $26.51 per square foot represents a 6.0% increase over the $25.01 per
square foot of initial rents for leases commenced on previously leased space
during 1994.

          Negotiating Contractual Rent Increases. The Company seeks to negotiate
contractual rent increases that provide for periodic increases in the minimum
rent paid by a tenant during the term of its lease. At the time of the IPO in
April 1994, the Company's share of contractual rent increases from 1996 to 1998
totaled $5.6 million. Currently, the Company's share of contractual rent
increases for the same period totals $8.1 million, a $2.5 million, or 45%,
increase. Over the next five years, as a result of contractual rent increases
currently in place, the annual minimum rents of tenants at the DeBartolo Malls
are due to increase by more than $14.9 million, of which the Company's pro rata
share is $11.6 million. The Company's share of contractual rent increases due in
1996 is $3.0 million.

          The following table provides information regarding the total, and the

     Increasing Leased Mall GLA. The Company seeks to generate additional
revenues through the lease-up of available space in the DeBartolo Malls. At
December 31, 1995, 84.4% of the total Mall GLA at the DeBartolo Malls was
leased, as compared to 85.0% at December 31, 1994. The lower level of leased
Mall GLA reflects both the current weak retailing environment as well as the
Company's strategy of recapturing underproductive space and the impact of
accumulating vacant space in order to capture maximum returns on expansion and
renovation investments. The Company is applying its leasing strategies with the
goal of increasing the productivity of this vacant space on a tenant sales and
rental income basis. At December 31, 1995, the Company had leases for 282,000
square feet of currently vacant space, or approximately 12.0%, of available Mall
GLA that had been negotiated and presented to tenants for execution. The
Company's selective recapture of underproductive leased space has added to
vacancy rates but allows for more profitable and productive leasing in the
future. The Company anticipates that these occupancy levels should gradually
increase as a result of renovations and the addition of Anchors or specialty
anchors at DeBartolo Malls, subject to the recapture of additional Mall GLA from
underproductive, bankrupt or consolidating tenants.

     The following table sets forth the percentage of Mall GLA leased at the
DeBartolo Malls over the last five years.

     Recapturing Underproductive Mall GLA. The Company has implemented a
vigorous program of recapturing, reconfiguring and reletting underproductive
space from large variety stores, but also in some cases from small shop tenants
in lines of merchandise which are losing favor with shoppers or which are not
creditworthy. At the time of the IPO, the Company identified over 725,000 square
feet of underproductive space including 623,767 square feet of variety store
space at 12 DeBartolo Malls. Since the IPO, the Company has recaptured 428,808
square feet of this previously identified variety store space. The Company has
re-leased 250,309 square feet of this recaptured space at $10.39 average minimum
rent per foot, compared to an average ending rent of $3.21 per square foot. The
remaining space is being utilized in connection with the redevelopment of those
properties. In reletting this space, the Company seeks to improve the diversity
of a mall's tenant mix and introduce up-to-date retailing formats to raise
consumer awareness and interest and increase the property's drawing power.
Reletting this Mall GLA also has resulted in increased contributions for common
area maintenance, real estate taxes and promotional expenses because the older
leases for tenants occupying larger space typically limit these contributions.

     IMPROVED OPERATING MARGINS

     The Company seeks to require tenants to pay 100% of their pro rata share of
recoverable operating expenses, real estate taxes and promotional expenses, in
addition to an administrative charge. Many of the Company's older leases require
only a fixed contribution to these expenses which often is significantly below
the tenants' pro rata share. As the older leases expire or are terminated, the
Company seeks to recover a higher percentage of these expenses. In 1995, the
Company increased the percentage of common area maintenance expenses and real
estate taxes recovered from tenants to 90% in 1995 from 89% in 1994. Recoverable
expenses for all DeBartolo Properties totaled $145.0 million in 1995, of which
the Company recovered $130.5 million. Increased recovery of operating costs and
occupancy levels enables the Company to reduce each contributing tenant's pro
rata share of these costs.

          SELECTIVE NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND ACQUISITIONS

          New Development Opportunities. The Company owns land held for shopping
center development in Vero Beach, Florida. The Company began construction of
Indian River Mall at this site in 1995 and expects to open the mall in the fall
of 1996 with an aggregate investment estimated to be approximately $60 million.
The Company has finalized a joint venture agreement with a financial institution
which, pending closing of a construction loan, will reduce the Company's share
of the investment to approximately $30 million. The Company has agreements in
principle with Burdines, Dillard's, JCPenney and Sears to anchor the mall and is
in the process of negotiating definitive agreements. Indian River Mall will
contain over 900,000 square feet of Total GLA (290,000 square feet of Mall
Store GLA) when fully developed and will include extensive specialty store space
and an entertainment component, including a 24-screen theater which is currently
under construction. This master planned development also calls for the
construction of Indian River Commons, a multi-Anchor community center, on
property adjacent to the mall.

          The Company is also reviewing longer-term development opportunities in
Bowie, Maryland, Kent, Ohio and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Company owns the
Bowie development site and has options to acquire the Kent development site and
an interest in the Pittsburgh development site.

          Acquiring Outside Partners' Interests. The Company believes that it
will have an opportunity for growth through the acquisition of outside partners'
interests in the DeBartolo Properties. Over the last five years, the Company has
acquired outside partners' interests in nine DeBartolo Properties. The Company
also has options to acquire the interests of three Outside Partners in five
DeBartolo Malls (Biltmore Square, Chesapeake Square, Mall of the Mainland,
Northfield Square and Port Charlotte Town Center). All of these options are
subject to the rights of partners and lenders and to the satisfaction of certain
conditions. In January, 1996, the Property Manager acquired the partnership
interest of an Outside Partner in two DeBartolo Malls.

          Acquiring Additional Malls. The Company will actively consider, and
may solicit, selected opportunities for acquisitions of other shopping center
companies, malls and mall portfolios or interests in such properties. The
Company believes that it will have certain competitive advantages in
consummating such acquisitions. The Company's mall portfolio, which ranges from
regional malls in middle and secondary market locations to super-regional malls
in major metropolitan markets, and the Company's relationships with

                                       8

<PAGE>   9



national, regional and local retailers provide the Company with the depth of
experience to lease, manage and assess the opportunities to acquire and
redevelop any type of regional mall. The Company's experience and relationships
enable the Company to pursue potential acquisitions which fit within its
geographic and productivity profile without limitation as to type of market,
size of property or nature of Anchors or specialty tenants. Due to the Company's
belief that valuations in the private market for regional malls that meet the
Company's growth and productivity requirements currently exceed comparable
valuations in the publicly-traded securities market, the Company expects these
activities will be a less significant component of its growth plans.

OTHER BUSINESS STRATEGIES

          ADJACENT LAND HOLDING

          The Company owns interests in approximately 433 acres of land located
adjacent to various DeBartolo Properties. The Company intends to ground lease or
possibly sell this peripheral land to various national, regional and local users
of land. During 1995, the Company sold 11 acres of land adjacent to DeBartolo
Properties receiving approximately $3.5 million in net proceeds and acquired
approximately 10 acres of land from third parties adjacent to three DeBartolo
Properties for scheduled expansion and development.

PROPERTY MANAGER'S BUSINESS

          The Property Manager currently manages regional shopping centers and
community centers containing approximately 5.6 million square feet for the
DeBartolo Group and third-party owners. During the past year, the Property
Manager's management of 1.9 million square feet was terminated, which had
generated approximately $0.4 million in annual management fees. In all cases, a
change in ownership of the managed property preceded the change in management.
The Property Manager intends to continue with its third-party construction,
design and engineering business by rendering such services at projects where it
renders other services and by rendering services to the DeBartolo Group.

COMPETITION

          Numerous other developers, managers and owners of real estate compete
with the Company in seeking management and leasing revenues, land for
development and properties for acquisition. In addition, retailers at DeBartolo
Properties face increasing competition from discount shopping centers, outlet
malls, catalogues, discount shopping clubs and telemarketing. In many markets,
the trade areas of DeBartolo Properties overlap with the trade areas of other
centers. Renovations and expansions at competing malls could negatively affect a
competing DeBartolo Property. Increased competition could adversely affect the
Company's revenues.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

          Under various Federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances
and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may
become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic
substances on, under or in such property. Such laws often impose liability
without regard to whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was
responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. The
presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure properly to remediate
such substances when present, may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell
or rent such real property or to borrow using such real property as collateral.
Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic wastes
may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of such wastes at the
disposal or treatment facility, regardless of whether such facility is owned or
operated by such person. Other Federal, state and local laws, ordinances and
regulations require abatement or removal of certain asbestos-containing

                                       9

<PAGE>   10



materials in the event of demolition or certain renovations or remodeling and
also govern emissions of and exposure to asbestos fibers in the air. The
operation and subsequent removal of certain underground storage tanks are also
regulated by Federal and state laws. In connection with its ownership, operation
and management of the DeBartolo Properties, and the Company, including the
Property Manager, the Partnerships or the relevant Property Partnership, could
be held liable for the costs of remedial action with respect to such regulated
substances or tanks or related claims.

          Each of the DeBartolo Properties has been subjected to varying degrees
of environmental assessment, which generally did not include soil sampling or
subsurface investigations, at various times. The environmental assessments did
not reveal any environmental condition or liability that the Company believes
would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or
results of its operations, nor is the Company aware of any such liability.
Nevertheless, it is possible that these assessments do not reflect current
conditions or reveal all environmental liabilities, or that there are material
environmental liabilities of which the Company is unaware. Moreover, no
assurances can be given that (i) future laws, ordinances or regulations will not
impose any material environmental liability on the Company, or (ii) the current
environmental condition of the DeBartolo Properties will not be affected by the
activities of tenants and occupants of the DeBartolo Properties, by the
condition of properties in the vicinity of the DeBartolo Properties, or by the
activities of third parties unrelated to the Company. The Company has not made
any accruals or receivables to establish reserves for environmental
contingencies and related legal proceedings.

          Asbestos-Containing Materials

          Asbestos-containing materials are present in most of the DeBartolo
Properties, primarily in the form of vinyl asbestos tile, mastics and roofing
materials, which are generally in good condition. Asbestos-containing materials
in the form of spray-on fireproofing and thermal system insulation are also
present in certain DeBartolo Properties in limited concentrations or in limited
areas. The presence of such asbestos-containing materials does not violate
currently applicable laws. Asbestos-containing materials will be removed by the
Company in the ordinary course of any renovation, reconstruction and expansion,
and in connection with the retenanting of space. Although it is difficult to
assess the costs of abatement or removal of such asbestos-containing materials
at this time, and no assurance can be given as to the magnitude of such costs,
the Company does not believe that such costs will be material to the Company's
financial condition or results of operations. The Company has developed and is
implementing an operations and maintenance program that establishes operating
procedures with respect to asbestos-containing materials.

          Underground Storage Tanks

          Many of the DeBartolo Properties contain, or at one time contained,
underground storage tanks used to store heating oil for on-site consumption or
petroleum products typically related to the operation of auto service centers.
Certain adjacent properties contain, or at one time contained, underground
storage tanks. At present, the Company is aware of three underground storage
tanks owned and operated by the Company at three DeBartolo Properties, and has
either begun or scheduled appropriate compliance activities in all cases. The
Company also is aware of an additional 16 underground storage tanks operated by
tenants or subtenants at the DeBartolo Properties, and compliance activities
with respect to those underground storage tanks are expected to be completed by
1998 by the respective tenants or subtenants. The Company is aware of a release
from a former waste oil tank reported by one of its tenants and is currently
investigating the accuracy of such report. Upon any such tenant's or subtenant's
failure to cause such compliance activities, the Company could become primarily
responsible for such compliance.

          Site assessments at seven DeBartolo Properties have revealed certain
soil and/or groundwater contamination associated with underground storage tanks
formerly operated by third parties. All such tanks had been removed or, at one
property, previously abandoned in place. The Company is in the process of
evaluating the extent of such contamination and will take appropriate action in
accordance with all applicable

                                       10

<PAGE>   11



environmental laws. Since the underground storage tanks associated with such
contamination are no longer in place or in operation, the Company does not
believe that the costs to the Company to address such contamination will be
material. In addition, the Company has begun soil and/or groundwater remediation
to address minor contamination associated with other underground storage tanks
currently or formerly located at certain DeBartolo Properties. Such remediation
is being conducted in accordance with applicable environmental laws. The Company
has no reason to believe that leakage has occurred from any other underground
storage tanks currently or previously located at DeBartolo Properties or that
the impact of any such contamination from any onsite or offsite source would be
material.

          The costs of underground storage tank compliance, closure, removal and
remediation activities are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.

          General Compliance

          The Company believes that the DeBartolo Properties are in compliance
in all material respects with all applicable Federal, state and local ordinances
and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances. The Company currently
anticipates making expenditures, including capital expenditures, for compliance
with environmental laws of totaling approximately $2.2 million during 1996 and
1997. The Company is not aware of any notices sent by any governmental authority
with respect to, or are otherwise aware of, any material noncompliance,
liability or claim relating to the handling, discharge and emission of hazardous
or toxic substances in connection with any of the DeBartolo Properties.

          Properties to be Developed or Acquired

           Land being held for shopping mall development or that may be acquired
for development may contain residues or debris associated with use of the land
by prior owners or third parties. In certain instances, such residues or debris
could be or contain hazardous wastes or hazardous substances. Prior to
exercising any option to acquire any of the optioned properties, the Company
will conduct the necessary environmental due diligence consistent with past
practice.

          EMPLOYEES

          The Company, the OP and the Property Manager, collectively, have
approximately 450 employees at headquarters and approximately 3,400 on location
at the DeBartolo Properties. Approximately 550 of these employees are currently
represented by unions. The Partnerships do not have any employees. The Company
believes its relations with these employees are satisfactory.

          CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS

          The Company's executive offices are located at 7655 Market Street,
Youngstown, Ohio 44513-3287, and its telephone number is (330) 758-7292.

(1)  Total EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
     amortization for all properties. EBITDA less Outside Partners' interests
     represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
     for all properties after distribution to the third-party joint venture
     partners. EBITDA: (i) does not represent cash flow from operations as
     defined by generally accepted accounting principles; (ii) should not be
     considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating
     performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing
     activities; and (iii) is not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of
     liquidity. The Company's management believes that in addition to cash flows
     and net income, EBITDA is a useful financial performance measurement for
     assessing the operating performance of an equity REIT because, together
     with net income and cash flows, EBITDA provides investors with an
     additional basis to evaluate the ability of a REIT to incur and service
     debt and to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures. To evaluate
     EBITDA and the trends it depicts, the components of EBITDA, such as
     revenues and operating expenses, should be considered. The Company's method
     of calculating EBITDA may be different from the methods used by other
     REITs.

(2)  Industry analysts generally consider cash generated before debt repayments
     and capital expenditures (also commonly referred to as funds from
     operations) to be an appropriate measure of the performance of an equity
     REIT. Cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures
     represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (losses) from debt
     restructuring and sales of property (other than adjacent land located at
     DeBartolo Properties after April 21, 1994), plus depreciation and
     amortization and other non-cash items. The Company's management believes
     that cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures is an
     important and widely used measure of the operating performance of REITs
     which provides a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. Cash generated
     before debt repayments and capital expenditures is presented to assist
     investors in analyzing the performance of the Company. The Company's method
     of calculating cash generated before debt repayments and capital
     expenditures may be different from the methods used by other REITs to
     calculate funds from operations. Cash generated before debt repayments and
     capital expenditures: (i) does not represent cash flow from operations as
     defined by generally accepted accounting principles; (ii) should not be
     considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating
     performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing
     activities; and (iii) is not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of
     liquidity.

(3)  Represents the Company's share of cash generated before debt repayments and
     capital expenditures.

(4)  The Company's pro rata share of mortgages and notes payable (including
     nonconsolidated joint ventures) is $1,555,099 as of December 31, 1995.

(5)  Comparable sales per foot are Mall Stores excluding large space users.

Part I, Item 7 of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995
is deleted and replaced in its entirety by the following:

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

   The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the "Selected
Financial Information," and all of the Financial Statements and Notes thereto
appearing elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K.

GENERAL BACKGROUND

   The following discussion is based primarily on the Consolidated Financial
Statements of DeBartolo Realty Corporation and the Combined Financial Statements
of the DeBartolo Retail Group (Predecessor).

   The financial statements of DeBartolo Realty Corporation for the 255 days
from April 21, 1994 to December 31, 1994, are not indicative of the Company's
operating results and cash flows on an annual basis. Similarly, the results
presented in the financial statements of DeBartolo Retail Group (Predecessor)
include 110 days of 1994, the period prior to the REIT Formation. Therefore,
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operating Results and Cash Flows for
1994 will be presented on a combined basis.

                COMPARISON OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS FOR
      THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994

   Revenues. Total revenues increased $8.5 million, or 2.6%, to $332.7 million
for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $324.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 1994. The $2.2 million increase in minimum rents to $205.0 million
in 1995 from $202.8 million in 1994 reflects continued improvements in rental
rates and the leasing of space, some of which space was previously vacant to
anchors and specialty anchors at three DeBartolo Properties. This increase is
net of a $1.7 million decrease in minimum rents for leases terminated, in part,
due to the Company's ongoing strategy to recapture underproductive space.

   Tenant recoveries increased $1.0 million, or 1.2%, to $82.1 million in 1995
from $81.1 million in 1994 reflecting the Company's strategy to improve
operating expense recovery margins. Other revenues increased $4.9 million, or
17.8%, to $32.5 million in 1995 from $27.6 million in 1994 due to (i) a $1.9
million increase in specialty leasing income, (ii) a $1.7 million increase in
interest income, (iii) a $1.0 million increase in promotional revenue which was
partially offset by the increase in advertising expenses as set forth in the
paragraph below, and (iv) a $0.5 million increase in lease cancellation income.
As the Company's leased area percentage increases significant growth in
specialty leasing income may be limited. Approximately $5.0 million in 1995 and
$4.5 million in 1994 of other revenues is attributable to income received by the
Company from lessees' cancellation of leases. Historically lease cancellation
income has been lower than it has been in 1994 and 1995.

   Shopping Center Expenses. Shopping center expenses increased $2.0 million, or
1.7%, to $118.3 million in 1995 from $116.3 million in 1994. Property operating
expenses increased $0.9 million, or 2.5%, primarily due to increased utility and
security costs. Repairs and maintenance expense decreased $1.1 million, or 3.8%,
predominantly due to a reduction in snow removal costs. Advertising expenses
increased $0.6 million due to increased promotional efforts offset by the
above-mentioned increase in promotional revenues.

   Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $6.6 million, or 5.0%, to $124.6
million in 1995 from $131.2 million in 1994, primarily resulting from loan
paydowns with the proceeds of the Company's two public stock offerings and
related transactions. Interest expense in 1995 includes (i) $11.1 million of
amortization relating to the REIT Formation, (ii) $0.5 million of amortization
of deferred financing costs, (iii) $4.2 million relating to

                                       15

<PAGE>   16



the write-off of assigned interest rate protection agreements and (iv) $3.1
million of amortization relating to interest rate protection agreements.
Interest expense in 1994 included (i) $11.4 million of amortization relating to
the REIT Formation and (ii) $2.6 million of amortization relating to interest
rate protection agreements.

   Joint Ventures. Net income of the nonconsolidated joint ventures decreased
$3.7 million to $13.7 million in 1995 from $17.4 million in 1994. Minimum rents
increased $2.6 million, resulting from (i) the opening of a new department store
during the fourth quarter of 1994 and (ii) the continued improvement in rental
rates for reletting Mall Store space. Percentage rents decreased $0.2 million,
from $6.2 million in 1994 to $6.0 million in 1995. The decrease was due to (i)
increases in base minimum rents on new leases which affects percentage rents
paid by such tenants and (ii) decreased sales of certain tenants. Tenant
recoveries increased $0.6 million due to an increase in recoverable expenses.
Other revenues increased $1.2 million, primarily due to a $0.9 million increase
in specialty leasing revenues and a $1.2 million increase in advertising
revenues offset by a $0.6 million decrease in lease cancellation income.

   Shopping center expenses increased $1.5 million, primarily resulting from a
$0.7 million increase in repairs and maintenance and a $1.0 million increase in
advertising expenses. Interest expense increased $4.6 million due to increasing
interest rates on variable rate debt and increased principal outstanding
relating to the financing of an Anchor addition. Depreciation and amortization
increased $0.8 million and gains on sale of assets decreased $1.0 million.

   The OP's share of income from nonconsolidated joint ventures increased $0.5
million to $8.9 million in 1995 from $8.4 million in 1994. This increase is
greater than the nonconsolidated joint ventures' change in net income because
the OP receives substantially all the economic benefit of three joint ventures
as a result of advances made to these joint ventures at the REIT Formation.

   Income before Limited Partners' Interest in the Operating Partnership.
Deferred stock expense decreased $3.8 million since deferred stock awards did
not vest because the Company did not achieve the targeted levels in 1995 as set
forth in the Company's long-term incentive deferred stock plan.

   The extraordinary charge in 1995 resulted from prepayment penalties of $3.4
million and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $7.9
million related to the early retirement of mortgage notes payable. The
extraordinary item in 1994 resulted from prepayment penalties and the write-off
of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the satisfaction of mortgage
notes payable in connection with the REIT Formation.

   Depreciation and amortization increased $2.4 million, or 4.3%, resulting from
depreciation on capital projects completed during 1994 and 1995. Net income
before Limited Partners' interest in the OP increased $12.5 million to $35.1
million in 1995 from $22.6 million in 1994 as the result of the above-mentioned
fluctuations.

   Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $47.5
million for the year ended December 31, 1995, principally comprised of additions
to investment properties of $51.3 million (see "Capital Expenditures"),
purchases of short-term investments of $9.7 million, and advances to and
investments in nonconsolidated joint ventures of $8.5 million. These investments
are offset by distributions from nonconsolidated joint ventures of $19.4 million
and proceeds from the sale of assets of $6.3 million. Net cash used in investing
activities for the year ended December 31, 1994 totaled $90.0 million,
principally comprised of (i) $27.1 million of additions to investment
properties, (ii) $22.8 million to purchase two development sites and partnership
interests in connection with the REIT Formation, and (iii) $53.8 million
advanced to nonconsolidated joint ventures to pay down property mortgage debt,
offset by distributions from nonconsolidated joint ventures of $12.9 million.


                                       16

<PAGE>   17




   Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $74.4
million for the year ended December 31, 1995, primarily comprised of
distributions and dividends paid of $106.5 million and payments on mortgage and
notes payable of $178.1 million. These uses were funded through cash flow from
operations of $108.9 million, proceeds from incurrence of debt of $116.8
million, proceeds from net offerings of common stock of $80.4 million and a
decrease in restricted cash of $21.8 million. Net cash provided by financing
activities of $29.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 was primarily
from the proceeds of the REIT Formation less (i) paydowns of property mortgage
debt and interest rate buydowns in connection with the REIT Formation, (ii)
distributions to the DeBartolo Group's parent company and (iii) dividends and
distributions paid.

COMPARISON OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS FOR 
THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993

   Revenues. Total revenues increased $15.2 million, or 4.9%, to $324.2 million
for the year ended December 31, 1994 from $309.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 1993. The increase is due primarily to an increase in minimum
rentals of $8.2 million, or 4.2%, resulting from continued improvements in
rental rates for reletting of Mall Store spaces and the leasing of a major
office tenant space which commenced July 1, 1993. Percentage rents decreased
$1.3 million, or 9.2%, primarily due to increases in base minimum rents which
offsets percentage rents from such tenants and decreased sales for certain
tenants.

   Other revenues increased $9.3 million, or 50.8%, to $27.6 million in 1994
from $18.3 million in 1993. This increase is primarily attributable to a $3.3
million increase in lease cancellation payments which totaled $4.5 million
received during 1994 from underproductive tenants and an increase of $2.1
million in interest income earned as a result of increased cash resulting from
the REIT Formation and a $1.7 million increase from specialty and temporary
leasing which totaled $10.8 million in 1994.

   Shopping Center Expenses. Total shopping center expenses decreased $3.2
million, or 2.7%, to $116.3 million in 1994 from $119.5 million in 1993. This
decrease reflects the Company's continued efforts to contain operating expenses
at its properties. Management fees paid to the Property Manager decreased $1.6
million and the Company's provision for doubtful accounts decreased $1.3 million
as a result of the Company's focus on increasing the collectibility of accounts
receivable.

   Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $21.5 million, or 14.1%, to
$131.2 million in 1994 from $152.7 million in 1993. The decrease is the result
of mortgage loan paydowns and interest rate buydowns in connection with the use
of proceeds resulting from the REIT Formation. Interest expense in 1994 includes
$11.4 million of amortization relating to the REIT Formation and $2.6 million of
amortization of interest rate protection agreements while in 1993 interest
expense included only $4.4 million of loan cost amortization.

   Joint Ventures. Net income of the nonconsolidated joint ventures increased
$11.6 million to $17.4 million in 1994 from $5.8 million in 1993. The increase
is primarily due to (i) a $6.1 million increase in minimum rentals resulting
from continued improvements in rental rates for reletting of Mall Store space,
(ii) a $2.0 million increase in lease cancellation income from underproductive
tenants and (iii) a decrease in interest expense of $5.6 million resulting from
refinancings of permanent mortgages at lower interest rates at two DeBartolo
Malls and the result of mortgage loan paydowns in connection with the use of
proceeds resulting from the REIT Formation. The OP's share of net income from
nonconsolidated joint ventures increased $8.7 million to $8.4 million in 1994
from a $.3 million loss in 1993.

                                       17

<PAGE>   18



   Income before Limited Partners' Interest in the Operating Partnership. Income
before limited partners' interest in the OP increased by $32.4 million to $22.6
million in 1994 from a loss of $9.8 million in 1993 as a result of (i) the
above-mentioned fluctuations in revenues, shopping center expenses, interest
expense and income from nonconsolidated joint ventures, (ii) a $4.1 million
deferred stock compensation expense relating to stock incentive plans, which
stock will vest pro rata through 1996 and (iii) extraordinary charges of $8.9
million resulting from prepayment penalties and the write-off of unamortized
deferred financing costs related to the satisfaction of mortgage notes payable
in connection with the REIT Formation.

   Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased $79.5
million to $90.0 million in 1994 from $10.5 million in 1993 primarily resulting
from (i) $22.8 million to purchase two developmental land parcels and purchases
of partnership interests in connection with the REIT Formation and (ii) $53.8
million advanced to joint ventures to paydown mortgage debt.

   Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities increased
$54.8 million to $29.5 million in 1994 from funds used by financing activities
of $25.3 million in 1993. This increase reflects $543.9 million proceeds from
the public offering of common stock and $455.0 million of securitized debt
proceeds offset by (i) an increase in debt payments of $676.1 million, (ii)
$130.4 million of distributions to the DeBartolo Group relating to the IPO,
(iii) an increase of $67.7 million for loan costs and interest rate buydowns,
(iv) $46.4 million of dividends and distributions paid, (v) an increase in
restricted cash of $39.0 million and (vi) $11.0 million from a decrease in
payments on net affiliated receivables.

PORTFOLIO TRENDS

The following sets forth the operating trends which have had a material effect
and which the Company believes will have a material effect on revenues in the
future.

Rental Rates

    The rate of growth in rental rates of DeBartolo Properties exceeds the rate
of growth in Total Mall Store Sales (defined as sales reported by retailers
occupying Mall GLA) because as older leases expire, new leases are negotiated at
current rental rates which are generally higher than average rates for expiring
leases. Average minimum rents per square foot for DeBartolo Malls increased by
20.6% to $19.78 for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $16.40 for the year
ended December 31, 1991.

  (3)      Total initial minimum rent per square foot, excluding leases with

           no leasing activity with specialty anchors during 1991 through 1993.
</TABLE>

         Management believes that these positive trends in rental rates should
continue in 1996 due to, among other factors, expiring leases being replaced by
new leases with higher minimum rents, gradual leasing of additional unleased
space and the lease-up of recaptured underproductive space.

         The revenues of the Company may be adversely affected by the inability
to collect rent due to bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants or otherwise. Two
department store companies operating six Anchors at the DeBartolo Properties are
operating under the protection of the United States Bankruptcy Code. At December
31, 1995, leases (excluding rejected leases) of Anchor tenants open and
operating in bankruptcy comprise approximately 1% of Total GLA. Annual rentals
paid by these Anchor tenants comprised 2.5% of minimum rents paid by Anchor
tenants. At December 31, 1995, leases (excluding rejected leases) of Mall Store
tenants open and operating in bankruptcy comprise approximately 6.1% of Mall
GLA. Annual rentals paid by these Mall Store tenants comprised 5.6% of minimum
rents paid by Mall Store tenants. Substantially all of these tenants are
currently meeting their contractual obligations at the DeBartolo Properties. At
the time a tenant files for bankruptcy protection it is difficult to determine
to what extent these tenants will reject their leases or seek other concessions
as a condition to continued occupancy. The Company expects certain of these
tenants to reject their leases. Based on past experience, the Company has been
able to offset, over a reasonable period of time, the impact on minimum rents
caused by a tenant in bankruptcy.

1995 Leasing

         During 1995, new leases commenced on 1,377,525 square feet of space in
DeBartolo Malls at an average initial rent of $22.27, a 1.8% increase over the
1,352,744 square feet of space covered by new leases that commenced during 1994.
Included in the lease activity for 1995 were leases for 213,485 square feet to
four specialty anchors. Included in the 1995 lease commencements, are leases to
mall shop tenants on

                                       19

<PAGE>   20



955,666 square feet of previously leased space, excluding specialty anchors. The
average initial rent on this space was $26.51 per square foot representing a
20.2% increase over the average expiring rents of $22.06 per square foot for
this space. The $26.51 per square foot represents a 6.0% increase over the
$25.01 per square foot of initial rent for leases commenced on previously leased
space during 1994.

Mall Store Sales

         From 1991 through 1995 reported Total Mall Store Sales of all DeBartolo
Malls, including Large Space Users (defined as theaters, drug stores, variety
stores, cafeterias and other large stores (e.g., health spas, hardware, tire,
furniture and specialty stores) ), increased 4.9% from $2.68 billion to $2.81
billion. Total Mall Store Sales are an important factor contributing to the
level of revenues generated by the DeBartolo Malls because such sales ultimately
influence the total occupancy cost a tenant can pay. Total Mall Store Sales
measure a mall portfolio's ability to generate sales over its total square
footage and may be affected by occupancy. Total Mall Store Sales increased 1.0%
from $2.79 billion in 1994 to $2.81 billion in 1995.

Comparable Mall Store Sales

         Comparable Mall Store Sales (defined as sales reported by Mall Store
tenants (excluding Larger Space Users) that occupied Mall GLA for two
consecutive years) are used to measure the ability of existing tenants to
increase their sales in the same leased area from year to year. Comparable Mall
Store Sales (excluding Large Space Users) increased between 1994 and 1995
primarily reflecting the introduction of more highly productive tenants into the
comparable store base and the closure of stores by weak retailers. The increase
is consistent with the Company's strategy of actively managing the tenant mix to
capitalize on current shopping trends.

         The following table sets forth the changes in Comparable Mall Store
Sales from 1991:

</TABLE>

Occupancy Costs

         Another factor influencing the Company's ability to increase rents is
occupancy cost. Occupancy cost consists of minimum rent, percentage rent and
contributions to operating expenses paid by the tenants. The Company is able to
increase rents in part by containing its tenants' operating costs. Since 1991,
while the Comparable Mall Store Sales per square foot have grown 6.7%, the
Company has been able to increase minimum rents 18.5% while maintaining the
tenants occupancy costs at an acceptable level. For all DeBartolo Properties,
operating expenses recoverable from tenants increased only $1.6 million, or 1.1%
to $145.0 million in 1995 from $143.4 million in 1994. Management believes
continuing efforts to increase Comparable Mall Store Sales while controlling
property operating expenses will continue the trend of increasing rents at
DeBartolo Malls.

Leased Area

         At December 31, 1995, 84.4% of the total Mall GLA at the DeBartolo
Malls was leased, as compared to 85.0% at December 31, 1994. This decline, in
part, reflects the current weak retailing environment that is putting pressure
on leasing of Mall Store space in the DeBartolo Malls. The Company is applying
its leasing strategies with the goal of increasing the productivity of space on
a tenant sales and minimum rent basis. The Company's selective recapture of
underproductive leased space has added to vacancy rates but may allow for more
profitable and productive leasing in the future. During 1995, 570,000 square
feet or 3.8% of Mall GLA, was recovered, of which 330,000 square feet was due to
bankruptcies, and the balance was a result of space recovered from variety
stores and lease cancellations. As a result, although overall leasing activity
remained strong during the year, a decline in tenant renewals combined with an
increase in the number of tenants that closed stores caused a decrease in Mall
GLA leased. At December 31, 1995, the Company had leases for 282,000 square feet
of currently vacant space, or 1.9% of Mall GLA, that has been negotiated and
presented to tenants for execution.

         The following table sets forth the percentage of Mall GLA leased at the
DeBartolo Malls over the last five years.

SEASONAL NATURE OF REGIONAL SHOPPING CENTER INDUSTRY

          The regional shopping center industry is seasonal in nature. Mall
Store sales and leased Mall GLA are highest in the fourth quarter due to the
Christmas selling season. Back-to-school and Easter events also result in sales
fluctuations.

</TABLE>

         Minimum rental rates and tenant recoveries generally are not subject to
seasonal factors. However, the majority of new stores open in the second half of
the year in anticipation of the Christmas and back-to-school selling seasons.
Accordingly, occupancy levels and therefore revenues are lower in the first two
quarters and highest in the fourth quarter. The majority of store closings occur
in the first quarter after the more profitable holiday season.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

GENERAL

         As of December 31, 1995, the Company's balance of cash and cash
equivalents, restricted cash and short term investments less amounts held for
shareholder distributions was $25 million, including its proportionate share of
cash held by unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition to its cash reserves,
the Company has unused borrowing capacity of approximately $225 million, which
use is restricted in some instances to certain properties. Capital available
includes contractual borrowing commitments, subject to customary lender approval
rights, of approximately $82.8 million for capital expenditures on properties
securing the respective mortgages.

FINANCINGS AND REFINANCINGS

         During 1995, the Company completed various financing and refinancing
activities which unencumbered three properties.

         The Company completed a public offering of 6,000,000 shares of common
stock in August, 1995 generating net proceeds of approximately $80.4 million.
These proceeds were principally used to repay existing mortgage debt at two
properties. The Company also drew $50.0 million under its then existing
revolving credit facility to repay existing debt at one property in anticipation
of a redevelopment and expansion of this property. The Company also unencumbered
two additional properties with a lender by assigning the liability for these
mortgage notes to two other properties currently encumbered with mortgages due
to this lender.

         In December, 1995 the Company expanded its revolving credit facility
from $50 million to $120 million (availability increased to $94.5 million, $55
million of which was immediately drawn ) with a future expansion to $150 million
(increasing availability to $144.5 million) in the first quarter of 1996. This
facility is secured by three properties, two of which were unencumbered by the
above-mentioned transactions. This new 3-year facility carries an interest rate
of LIBOR plus 175 basis points, representing a 50 basis point reduction in
interest rates from the prior facility. The Company estimates its share of
borrowing capacity for four unencumbered properties is approximately $88
million.

<PAGE>   23



         In May, 1995 the Company extended the maturity of the debt on one
property for 18 months which also increased the note rate from 6.4% to 8.34% for
this period. Three loans totaling $44.1 million for one DeBartolo Property were
refinanced in September, 1995 for a total of $59.5 million ($46.5 million
currently outstanding), providing additional borrowing of $13.0 million to be
drawn upon over the next twelve months for the expansion and renovation of that
property. The new debt has an interest rate of 7.43% and matures in September,
2007. The weighted average interest rate on the maturing debt was 9.20%. A loan
in the amount of $55 million was restructured in December, 1995 at the same
principal amount, which extended the maturity by seven years and reduced the
interest rate from 8.88% to 7.42%.

DEBT

         The Company's pro rata share of debt is approximately $1.55 billion
which includes the Company's pro rata share of debt applicable to the
nonconsolidated joint ventures of $249.5 million. The Company's pro rata share
of total floating rate debt is $275.5 million and is subject to the
below-mentioned interest rate swaps and interest rate caps. Interest savings
resulting from the rate caps totaled $2.8 million in 1995.

         During December 1995, the Company entered into an interest rate swap
agreement to pay LIBOR at (i) 4.75% on approximately $218 million of debt
through April 1997 and (ii) 5.71% on $87.2 million of debt from May 1997 through
April 2001. As part of this arrangement, the Company assigned the following
interest rate caps (i) 4.75% through April 1996 and 5.25% from May 1996 through
April 1997 on approximately $131 million of debt and (ii) 4.75% through April
1996 on $87.2 million of debt. The Company has an interest rate cap which limits
interest on $87.2 million of debt to no more than LIBOR of 8.44% for the period
May 1996 through March 2001. The effect of this transaction is to extend the
former interest rate protection agreements beyond their expiration dates at
interest rates that are equal to or less than the prior agreement levels.

         Loans maturing during 1996 total $151.1 million for three consolidated
properties and $25.9 million for two nonconsolidated joint ventures. The Company
expects to refinance $137.7 million relating to two of the consolidated
properties and has conveyed ownership of a third property to its lender
effective as of March 1, 1996, thereby fully satisfying the outstanding balance
of $13.4 million. The Company has extended or anticipates extending the maturity
dates relating to the mortgages of the two nonconsolidated joint ventures.

         The interest coverage ratio based on the Company's share of EBITDA and
interest expense was 2.09:1 in 1995 and 2.02:1 in 1994.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's management anticipates that its cash generated from
operating performance will provide the necessary funds for its operating
expenses, interest expense on outstanding indebtedness, recurring capital
expenditures and distributions to shareholders in accordance with REIT
requirements. The Company also believes that it has capital and access to
capital resources, including additional borrowings and issuances of debt or
equity securities, sufficient to expand and develop its strategic plan for
growth.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

         Strategic Expansions and Renovations. Historically, expansions and
major renovations of DeBartolo Malls have been a substantial source of increased
cash flow. The Company focuses its expansion and renovation programs primarily
where additions, expansions or replacements of Anchors are planned and where
market rents on major lease rollovers can be further increased. The addition of
food courts, theaters and other traffic-generating tenants are frequently
integrated with these programs. The effect is to leverage renovation dollars by
targeting key opportunities to reinvigorate the merchandising, leasing and
marketing of a mall and its peripheral property. Related investments by Anchors
in expanding or renovating their stores provide additional leverage. The Company
announced during the quarter ending September 30, 1995 plans to invest
approximately $500 million over a five year period in strategic redevelopment
programs at the

       Tenant Allowances. The Company's strategy to maximize performance of the
existing portfolio includes providing tenant allowances to modernize and
regenerate specialty store space and also to attract specific tenants aimed at
increasing customer traffic as well as increasing rents. The Company's share of
recurring tenant allowances paid during 1995 was $7.0 million as compared to the
$8.5 million spent in 1994.

CASH GENERATED BEFORE DEBT REPAYMENTS AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

       Management believes that cash generated before debt repayments and
capital expenditures (commonly referred to as funds from operations) provides an
important indicator of the financial performance of the Company. Cash generated
before debt repayments and capital expenditures is defined as net income (loss)
(computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sales of property (other than adjacent land located at
DeBartolo Properties after April 21, 1994), plus depreciation and amortization
and other non-cash items, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships
and joint ventures. Accordingly, management expects that cash generated before
debt repayments and capital expenditures will be the most significant factor
considered by the Board of Directors in determining the amount of cash dividends
the Company will make to shareholders.

       The Company's management believes that cash generated before debt
repayments and capital expenditures is an important and widely used measure of
the operating performance of REITs which provides a relevant basis for
comparison among REITs. Cash generated before debt repayments and capital
expenditures is presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of
the Company. The Company's method of calculating cash generated before debt
repayments and capital expenditures may be different from the methods used by
other REITs to calculate funds from

operations. Cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures: (i)
does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted
accounting principles; (ii) should not be considered as an alternative to net
income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows for operating,
investing and financing activities; and (iii) is not an alternative to cash
flows as a measure of liquidity.

       The following shows cash generated before debt repayments and capital
expenditures:

         For 1995, cash generated before debt repayments and capital
expenditures rose 7.8% to $129.6 million from $120.2 million in 1994.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

         In the last four years, inflation has not had a significant impact on
the Company because there has been disinflation in apparel pricing which has
slowed the growth of tenant sales. In the event of higher inflation, however,
substantially all of the tenants' leases contain provisions designed to mitigate
the impact of inflation on the Company. Such provisions include clauses enabling
the Company to receive percentage rentals based on tenants' gross sales, which
generally increase as prices rise, and escalation clauses, which generally
increase rental rates during the terms of 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 property operating
expenses, thereby reducing the Company's exposure to increases in costs and
property operating expenses resulting from inflation.


Part III, Item 11 of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,

         Common Stock pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Deferred Stock Award
         component of the DeBartolo Realty Corporation 1994 Stock Incentive
         Plan. The value of such shares was calculated based upon the number of
         shares granted to the individual officer multiplied by the market value
         at the date of issuance ($13.75). The number of shares issued to each
         executive officer was: Mr. Sokolov: 17,766 shares; Mr. Giuliano: 7,000
         shares; Mr. Dieterle: 5,833 shares and Mr. Ferguson: 5,833 shares. The
         awards were earned based on the Company's financial performance for the
         fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.

11       On April 11, 1995, the Company's officers earned and were issued
         unrestricted shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to the
         Long-Term Incentive Deferred Stock Award component of the DeBartolo
         Realty Corporation 1994 Stock Incentive Plan. The value of such shares
         was calculated based upon the number of shares granted to the
         individual officer multiplied by the market value at the date of
         issuance ($13.75). The number of shares issued to each executive
         officer was: Mr. Sokolov: 17,766 shares; Mr. Giuliano: 7,000 shares;
         Mr. Dieterle: 5,832 shares and Mr. Ferguson: 5,832 shares. The awards
         were earned based on the Company's financial performance for the fiscal
         year ended December 31, 1994.

12       On June 2, 1994, Mr. Sokolov was  granted 26,446 shares of deferred
         stock.  Unlike restricted stock, the awards do not confer any rights
         of beneficial ownership until they vest, which occurs ratably over
         five years from the date of grant.  Accordingly, the value
         attributable to these awards will be reported as a component of "all
         other compensation" for the years in which the awards vest.  On April
         11, 1995, 5,289 shares of deferred stock vested.  The market value of
         such shares was calculated based upon the number of shares vesting
         multiplied by the market value at the date of issuance ($13.75).   The
         Company made contributions to Mr. Sokolov's tax- qualified 401(k) plan
         totaling $6,000 and paid insurance premiums totaling $1,218 for term
         life insurance.

13       The Company made contributions to Mr. Sokolov's tax-qualified 401(k)

tax-deferred savings account from between 1% and 16% of their eligible
compensation. The Property Manager provides matching contributions on a
dollar-for-dollar basis up to 4% of the employees' eligible compensation. The
