NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION
On August 9, 1996, the merger and other related transactions pursuant to
the agreement and plan of merger among Simon Property Group, Inc. ("SPG"), an
acquisition subsidiary of SPG and DeBartolo Realty Corporation ("DRC") were
consummated (the "Merger"). Pursuant to the Merger, SPG acquired all the
outstanding shares of common stock of DRC (55,712,529 shares) through the
acquisition subsidiary, at an exchange ratio of 0.68 share of SPG common stock
for each share of DRC common stock (the "Exchange Ratio"). A total of 37,884,520
shares of SPG common stock were issued by the SPG, through the acquisition
subsidiary, to the DRC shareholders. DRC and the acquisition subsidiary merged,
with DRC as the surviving entity and becoming a 99.9% subsidiary of SPG. This
portion of the transaction was valued at approximately $923.4 million, based
upon the number of DRC shares of common stock acquired (55,712,529 shares), the
Exchange Ratio and the last reported sales price per share of SPG's common stock
on August 9, 1996 ($24.375). In connection therewith, SPG changed its name to
Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc. (the "Company") and DRC changed its name to SD
Property Group, Inc. (the "Managing General Partner").
In connection with the Merger, the general and limited partners of the
operating partnership of SPG, Simon Property Group, L.P. ("SPG, LP"),
contributed 49.5% (47,442,212 units) of the total outstanding units of
partnership interest in SPG, LP to the operating partnership of DRC, DeBartolo
Realty Partnership, L.P. ("DRP, LP") in exchange for 47,442,212 units of
partnership interest in DRP, LP, whose name has since been changed to Simon
DeBartolo Group, L.P. ("SDG, LP"). The Company retained a 50.5% partnership
interest (48,400,614 units) in SPG, LP but assigned its rights to receive
distributions of profits on 49.5% (47,442,212 units) of the outstanding units of
partnership interest in SPG, LP to SDG, LP. The limited partners of DRP, LP
approved the contribution made by the partners of SPG, LP and simultaneously
exchanged their 38.1% (34,203,623 units) partnership interest in DRP, LP,
adjusted for the Exchange Ratio, for a smaller partnership interest in SDG, LP.
The exchange of the limited partners' 38.1% partnership interest in DRP, LP for
units of SDG, LP has been accounted for as an acquisition of minority interest
by the Company and is valued based on the estimated fair value of the
consideration issued (approximately $566.9 million). The units of SDG, LP may
under certain circumstances be exchangeable for stock of the Company on a
one-for-one basis. Therefore, the value of the acquisition of the DRP, LP
limited partners' interest acquired was based upon the number of DRP, LP units
exchanged (34,203,623 units), the Exchange Ratio and the last reported sales
price per share of SPG's common stock on August 9, 1996 ($24.375). The limited
partners of SPG, LP received a 23.7% partnership interest in SDG, LP (37,282,628
units) for the contribution of their 38.9% partnership interest in SPG, LP
(37,282,628 units) to SDG, LP. The interests transferred by the partners of SPG,
LP to DRP, LP have been appropriately reflected at historical costs.
Upon completion of the Merger, the Company became a general partner of SDG,
LP with 36.9% (57,605,796 units) of the outstanding partnership units in SDG, LP
and the Managing General Partner became the managing general partner of SDG, LP
with 24.3% (37,873,965 units in SPG, LP) of the outstanding partnership units in
SDG, LP. The Company remained the sole general partner of SPG, LP with 1% of the
outstanding partnership units (958,429 units) and 49.5% interest in the capital
of SPG, LP, and SDG, LP became a special limited partner in SPG, LP with 49.5%
(47,442,212 units) of the outstanding partnership units in SPG, LP and an
additional 49.5% interest in the profits of SPG, LP. SPG, LP did not acquire any
interest in SDG, LP. Upon completion of the Merger, the Company directly and
indirectly owned a controlling 61.2% (95,479,761 units) partnership interest in
SDG, LP.
For financial reporting purposes, the completion of the Merger resulted in
a reverse acquisition by the Company, using the purchase method of accounting,
directly or indirectly, of 100% of the net assets of DRP, LP for consideration
valued at $1.523 billion, including related transaction costs. The purchase
price has been allocated to the fair value of the assets and liabilities of DRP,
LP at September 30, 1996. Certain assumptions were made which management of the
General Partners believes are reasonable. Management expects to
6
<PAGE> 7
SIMON DEBARTOLO GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
finalize the purchase price allocation during the fourth quarter of 1996. The
final allocation is not expected to differ materially from the allocation made
at September 30, 1996.
Although the Company was the accounting acquirer, SDG, LP (formerly DRP,
LP) became the primary operating partnership through which the future business
of the Company will be conducted, As a result of the Merger, the Company's
initial operating partnership, SPG, LP, became a subsidiary of SDG, LP, with
99% of the profits allocable to SDG, LP and 1% of the profits allocable to the
Company. Cash flow allocable to the Company's 1% profit interest in SDG, LP will
be absorbed by public company cost and related expenses incurred by the
Company. However, because the Company was the accounting acquirer and upon
completion of the Merger acquired majority control of SDG, LP, SPG, LP is the
predecessor to SDG, LP for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly the
financial statements and ratios disclosed by SDG, LP for the post-merger periods
will reflect the reverse acquisition of DRP, LP by the Company using the
purchase method of accounting and for all pre-merger comparative periods, the
financial statements and ratios disclosed by SDG, LP will reflect the financial
statements and ratios of SPG, LP as the predecessor to SDG, LP for financial
reporting purposes.
It is currently expected that subsequent to the first anniversary of the
date of the Merger, reorganizational transactions will be effected so that SDG,
LP will directly own all of the assets and partnership interests now owned by
SPG, LP. However, there can be no assurance that such reorganizational
transactions will be so effected. See "The Operating Partnership."
In connection with the Merger, M.S. Management Associates, Inc., a SPG
management company, purchased from The Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation all of
the voting stock (665 shares of common stock) of DeBartolo Properties
Management, Inc., a DRC management company, for $2.5 million in cash. SDG, LP
continues to hold substantially all of the economic interest in DeBartolo
Properties Management, Inc. The Company holds substantially all of the economic
interest in M.S. Management Associates, Inc., while the voting stock are held by
the Simons and their affiliates. M.S. Management Associates, Inc. is accounted
for using the equity method of accounting.
The following unaudited pro forma summary financial information for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1996 combines the consolidated results of
operations of the Operating Partnership as if the Merger had occurred on January
1, 1995 and was carried forward through September 30, 1996:

NOTE 2 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements are unaudited;
however, they have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and in conjunction with
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters)
necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated condensed financial
statements for these interim periods
7
<PAGE> 8
SIMON DEBARTOLO GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
have been included. The results for the interim period ended September 30, 1996
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal
year. These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the December 31, 1995 audited financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Simon Property Group, Inc. Annual Report on Form
10-K.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of
Simon DeBartolo Group, Inc. (the "Company") include all the accounts of the
Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries, including Simon DeBartolo Group,
L.P. and Simon Property Group (the "Operating Partnership"). The Company
directly or indirectly owned 61.5% and 61.0% of the Operating Partnership as of
September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. Properties which are
wholly owned or controlled by the Operating Partnership have been consolidated.
All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated.
The Operating Partnership's equity interests in certain partnerships and
joint ventures which represent noncontrolling 14.7% to 50.0% ownership interests
and the investment in M.S. Management Associates, Inc. (the "Management
Company" -- see Note 7) are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
These investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for
net equity in income (loss) and cash contributions and distributions. An
additional 2% ownership in one property is accounted for using the cost method.
Net income is allocated to the Company based on the Company's preferred
unit preference and/or ownership interest in the Operating Partnership during
the period. The Company's weighted average ownership interest in the Operating
Partnership for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was 61.3% and
60.8%, respectively. The Company's weighted average ownership interest for the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was 61.2% and 59.3%,
respectively.
NOTE 3 -- RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made in the
financial statements to conform to the 1996 presentation.
NOTE 4 -- CASH FLOW INFORMATION
Cash paid for interest, net of amounts capitalized, during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 was $126,774, as compared to $106,734 for the same
period in 1995. Accrued and unpaid distributions as of September 30, 1996 and
December 31, 1995 were $2,223, and $48,594, respectively, which includes accrued
and unpaid dividends entitled to preferential distribution of cash ("Series A
Preferred Shares") of $2,223, and $1,490, respectively.
As described in Note 1 the Operating Partnership issued units in connection
with the acquisition of DRC.
NOTE 5 -- PER SHARES DATA
Per share data is based on the weighted average number of shares of common
stock ("Shares") outstanding during the period. As used herein, the term Shares
does not include Preferred Stock. The weighted average number of Shares used in
the computation for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was
80,397,469 and 57,833,028, respectively. The weighted average number of Shares
used in the computation for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
was 96,507,387 and 54,320,878, respectively. Additionally, Series A Preferred
Shares may be converted into common stock of the Company beginning in October of
1997 at an initial conversion ratio equal to 0.9524. The stock options
outstanding under the Stock Option Plans and the Preferred Shares have not been
included in the computations of per Share data, as they do not have a dilutive
effect.

NOTE 6 -- ACQUISITION
Prior to April 11, 1996, the Operating Partnership held a 50% joint venture
interest in Ross Park Mall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. On April 11, 1996, the
Operating Partnership acquired the remaining economic ownership interest. The
purchase price included approximately $44,000 cash and the assumption of the
joint venture partner's share of existing debt ($57,000). The purchase price in
excess of the net assets acquired of $49,015 was allocated to investment
properties. Effective April 11, 1996, the property is being accounted for using
the consolidated method of accounting. It was previously accounted for using the
equity method of accounting.
In connection with the settlement of certain outstanding litigation, the
Operating Partnership acquired on October 4, 1996 for cash an additional 20%
limited partnership interest in North East Mall. At the same time, the
Operating Partnership exercised its option to acquire the remaining 30% limited
partnership interest in North East Mall owned by the Simons in exchange for
472,410 units in the Operating Partnership, as well as the Simons' 50% general
partnership interest which the Operating Partnership acquired for nominal
consideration. The Simons had previously contributed to the Operating
Partnership in exchange for units, the right to receive distributions relating
to its 50% general partnership interest. Therefore, the Operating Partnership
as a result of these transactions owns 100% of North East Mall and accounts for
it using the consolidated method of accounting.

The Operating Partnership's share of allocated common costs were $7,524 and
$5,685, respectively, for the three-month periods and $21,949 and $17,704,
respectively, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.
NOTE 8 -- DEBT
On February 23, 1996, the Operating Partnership borrowed the initial
$100,000 tranche of a $184,000 two-tranche loan facility for the Forum Shops at
Caesar's ("Forum") and retired the existing $89,701 mortgage debt for Forum. The
initial funding bears interest at LIBOR plus 100 basis points and matures in
February 2000. The remaining proceeds of the initial $100,000 tranche are being
used to provide funds for the approximately 250,000-square-foot phase II
expansion of this property.
On April 11, 1996, the Operating Partnership borrowed an additional
$115,000 on its then existing revolving credit facility. The funds were used
primarily to acquire the remaining economic ownership interest in Ross Park Mall
($44,000), and to retire a portion ($54,000) of the existing debt on Ross Park
Mall.
On June 28, 1996, the Operating Partnership obtained an additional $200,000
unsecured, revolving credit facility. The facility bore interest at LIBOR plus
132.5 basis points and would mature in August of 1998. Terms for the facility
were identical to those of the Operating Partnership's other $400,000 facility
obtained in August of 1995.
During the first nine months of 1996, the Operating Partnership drew an
additional $33,246 million on its construction loan for Cottonwood Mall in
Albuquerque, New Mexico. As of September 30, 1996, a total of $55,645 million
was outstanding on the loan.
On September 10, 1996, the Operating Partnership retired the DRC secured
line of credit, which bore interest at LIBOR plus 175 basis points, with
proceeds from SPG, LP's two unsecured credit facilities, which bore interest at
LIBOR plus 132.5 basis points.
On September 27, 1996, the Company completed a $200,000 public offering
(the "Preferred Offering") of 8,000,000 shares of 8 3/4% Series B Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock, generating net proceeds of approximately $193,000.
The Company contributed the proceeds of such offering to the Operating
Partnership in exchange for preferred units in the Operating Partnership, which
used the net proceeds to repay $142,800 of outstanding mortgage indebtedness and
$50,200 under SPG, LP's two unsecured credit facilities.
On September 27, 1996, the Operating Partnership obtained a $750,000,
unsecured, three-year credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), which will
initially bear interest at LIBOR plus 90 basis points, and retired the
outstanding borrowing of SPG, LP in the aggregate principal amount of $323,000
under SPG, LP's two unsecured credit facilities, which bore interest at LIBOR
plus 132.5 basis points. The Credit Facility increases the Operating
Partnership's available capital by $150,000.
In September 6, 1996, the Operating Partnership filed a shelf registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to provide for the
offering, from time to time, of up to $750,000 aggregate principal amount of
unsecured debt securities of the Operating Partnership. The Operating
Partnership is currently preparing to offer an aggregate of $200,000 in
unsecured debt securities for sale to the public. The proceeds of which will be
used primarily to retire mortgage indebtedness and to paydown the unsecured,
revolving credit facility.
At September 30, 1996, the Operating Partnership had consolidated debt of
$3,555,123, of which $2,481,639 was fixed-rate debt and $1,073,484 was
variable-rate debt. As of September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the
Operating Partnership had interest-rate protection agreements related to
$706,640 and $551,196 of variable-rate debt, respectively. The agreements
are generally in effect until the related variable-rate debt matures. As a
result of the various interest rate protection agreements, interest savings were
$654 and $693 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, and $1,935 and $2,617 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995, respectively. The Operating Partnership's pro rata

share of indebtedness of the unconsolidated joint venture properties as of

STOCK INCENTIVE PROGRAM
Two stock incentive programs are currently in effect.
Under the terms of the Simon Stock Incentive Program, on March 22, 1995, an
aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of restricted stock was awarded to 50 executives,
subject to certain performance standards and other terms of the plan. On March
22, 1995 and 1996, the board of directors of the Company approved the issuances
of 144,196 and 200,030 shares of common stock, respectively to eligible
executives. The value of these shares is being amortized pro-rata over the
respective four year vesting period. Approximately $1,563 and $525 have been
amortized for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
Under the terms of the DeBartolo stock incentive plan, 2,108,000 shares of
common stock are available for grant, subject to certain performance standards
and other terms of the plan. A total of 1,865,240 shares of common stock have
been approved by the compensation committee.
It is management's intent to merge the existing plans into a single plan
for key employees.

Note 10 Commitments and Contingencies
On October 16, 1996, a complaint was filed in the Court of Common Pleas
of Mahoning County, Ohio, captioned Carlo Angostinelli et al. v. DeBartolo
Realty Corp. et al. The named defendants are SD Property Group, Inc., a
99%-owned subsidiary of the Company, and DeBartolo Properties Management, Inc.,
and the plaintiffs are 24 former employees of the defendants. In the complaint,
the number of plaintiffs allege that they were recipients of deferred stock
grants under the DRC 1994 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and that these
grants immediately vested under the Plan's "change in control" provision as a
result of the Merger. Plaintiffs assert that the defendants' refusal to issue
them approximately 579,000 shares of DRC common stock, which is equivalent to
approximately 394,000 shares of common stock of the Company computed at the .68
exchange ratio used in the Merger, constitutes a breach of contract and a breach
of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing under Ohio law.
Plaintiffs seek damages equal to such number of shares of DRC common stock, or
cash in lieu thereof, equal to all deferred stock ever granted to them under the
Plan, dividends on such stock from the time of the grants, compensatory damages
for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and punitive
damages.
The complaint was served on the defendants on October 28, 1996, and
pre-trial proceedings have not yet commenced. The Company is of the opinion that
it has meritorious defenses and accordingly intends to defend thsi action
vigorously. While it is difficult for the Company to predict the outcome of this
litigation at this stage based on the information known to the Company to date,
the Company does not expect this action will have a material adverse effect on
the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain statements made in this report may constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995 (the "Reform Act"). Such forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual
results, performance or achievements of the Operating Partnership to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include,
among others, the following: general economic and business conditions, which
will, among other things, affect demand for retail space or retail goods,
availability and creditworthiness of prospective tenants, lease rents and the
terms and availability of financing; adverse changes in the real estate markets
including, among other things, competition with other companies and technology;
risks of real estate development and acquisition; governmental actions and
initiatives; and environmental/safety requirements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The financial results reported reflect the results of Simon Property Group,
Inc. through August 9, 1996 and the combined Simon DeBartolo Group, L.P. for all
periods subsequent to the Merger completed on August 9, 1996 of a subsidiary of
Simon Property Group, Inc. and DeBartolo Realty Corporation. This is in
accordance with the purchase method of accounting utilized to record this Merger
transaction. This Merger resulted in an additional 50 regional malls and 11
community shopping centers to the portfolio, of which additions, 41 regional
malls and 10 community shopping centers are being accounted for on the
consolidated method of accounting. The effects of this increase in the portfolio
and the Merger integration costs are highlighted in the following discussion of
the interim period financial comparisons.
In addition to the Merger, three other transactions (the "Property
Transactions"), each resulting in the consolidation of a mall previously
accounted for using the equity method of accounting, occurred and had
significant effects on the comparison of the nine-month and three-month periods.
Effective July 31, 1995, the Operating Partnership acquired the remaining 50%
interest in Crossroads Mall. Effective September 25, 1995, the Operating
Partnership acquired the remaining 55% interest in East Towne Mall. On April 11,
1996, the Operating Partnership acquired the remaining 50% economic ownership
interest in Ross Park Mall.
15
<PAGE> 16
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
VS. THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
Total revenue increased by $64.4 million or 46.6% for the three months
ended September 30, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. This increase
is primarily the result of the Merger ($56.0 million) and the Property
Transactions ($9.1 million).
Total operating expenses increased by $45.9 million, or 62.1%, for the
three months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995.
This increase is primarily the result of the Merger ($36.3 million) and the
Property Transactions ($4.1 million) and an increase in depreciation and
amortization ($5.0 million).
Interest expense increased by $19.7 million, or 54.1% for the three months
ended September 30, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. This increase
is primarily as a result of the Merger ($15.0 million) and the Property
Transactions ($3.7 million).
Income from unconsolidated entities increased by $3.6 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. This is
primarily due to the Merger ($2.2 million) and an increase in the Operating
Partnership's pro rata share of income from M.S. Management Associates, Inc.
(together with its subsidiaries, the "Management Company") ($2.3 million),
partially offset by a decrease in the Operating Partnership's pro rata share of
income from the pre-Merger unconsolidated joint venture properties ($0.9
million).
Income of the Operating Partnership was $26.3 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1996, as compared to $24.3 million for the same period in
1995, reflecting a net increase of $2.0 million, after Merger integration costs
of $7.2 million for the reasons described above, and was allocated first to the
Company, based on the Company's preferred unit preference and ownership interest
in the Operating Partnership during the period.
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
VS. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
Total revenue increased by $87.3 million or 21.9% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. Of this increase,
$56.0 million is a result of the Merger and $25.1 million is a result of the
Property Transactions. The remaining increase is primarily the result of
increases in minimum rent ($5.3 million), lease settlement income ($2.1
million), and a gain on the sale of a peripheral property ($2.6 million),
partially offset by a decrease in tenant reimbursements ($5.9 million).
Total operating expenses increased by $61.7 million, or 28.4%, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. This
increase is primarily the result of the Merger ($36.3 million), the Property
Transactions ($12.9 million) and an increase in depreciation and amortization
($10.2 million).
The gain on sale of an asset in the nine months ended September 30, 1995
($2.4 million) relates to the sale of a minority partnership interest in land
previously held for development in Denver, Colorado.
Interest expense increased by $23.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. This increase was
primarily the result of the Merger ($15.0 million) and the Property Transactions
($9.5 million).
Income from unconsolidated entities increased by $4.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995. This is
primarily due to the Merger ($2.2 million) and an increase in the Operating
Partnership's pro rata share of income from the Management Company ($2.2
million).
Income of the Operating Partnership was $47.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, as compared to $41.4 million for the same period in
1995, reflecting a net increase of $6.2 million after Merger integration costs
of $7.2 million, for the reasons described above, and was allocated first to
the Company, based on the Company's preferred unit preference and ownership
interest in the Operating Partnership during the period.

<PAGE> 17
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 1996, the Operating Partnership's balance of cash and cash
equivalents was $92.5 million, not including its proportionate share of cash
held by the joint venture properties and the Management Company. In addition to
its cash reserves, the Operating Partnership had unused capacity under its
unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $427.0 million.
Offering. On September 6, 1996, the Operating Partnership filed a shelf
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to provide
for the offering, from time to time, of up to $750 million aggregate principal
amount of unsecured debt securities of the Operation Partnership. The Operating
Partnership intends to offer, immediately upon effectiveness, an aggregate of
$200 million in unsecured debt securities. The proceeds of such offering will be
used primarily to retire mortgage indebtedness and to paydown the unsecured
revolving credit facility.
Effective December 15, 1995, SPG, LP completed a shelf registration filing
for $500.0 million of non-convertible investment grade debt securities. As of
September 30, 1996 SPG, LP had not offered any such debt securities.
DeBartolo Merger. As described in the footnotes to the financial
statements, on August 9, 1996 the Company assumed the outstanding indebtedness
of DeBartolo Realty Partnership, L.P. Such amount aggregated $1,567.8 million at
September 30, 1996.
Acquisitions. On April 11, 1996, the Operating Partnership drew an
additional $115.0 million on its then existing revolving credit facility
primarily to finance the acquisition of the remaining economic ownership
interest in Ross Park Mall ($44 million) and to retire a portion of the
property's debt ($54 million).
17
<PAGE> 18
In connection with the settlement of certain outstanding litigation, the
Operating Partnership acquired on October 4, 1996 for $12.5 million an
additional 20% limited partnership interest in North East Mall. At the same
time, the Operating Partnership exercised its option to acquire the remaining
30% limited partnership interest in North East Mall owned by the Simons in
exchange for 472,410 partnership units in the Operating Partnership, as well as
the Simons' 50% general partnership interest which the Operating Partnership
acquired for nominal consideration. The Simons had previously contributed to
the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the right to
receive distributions relating to its 50% general partnership interest.
Therefore the Operating Partnership, as a result of the transactions, owns 100%
of North East Mall and accounts for it using the consolidated method of
accounting.
Financing and Refinancing. On February 23, 1996, the Operating Partnership
borrowed the initial $100.0 million tranche of a $184.0 million two-tranche loan
facility for The Forum Shops at Caesar's ("Forum") and retired the existing
$89.7 million mortgage debt for Forum. The initial funding bears interest at
LIBOR plus 100 basis points and matures in February 2000. The remaining proceeds
are being used to provide funds for the approximately 250,000-square-foot phase
II expansion of this property.
On June 28, 1996, the Operating Partnership obtained an additional $200
million unsecured, revolving credit facility. The facility bore interest at
LIBOR plus 132.5 basis points and would mature in August of 1998. Terms for the
facility were identical to those of the Operating Partnership's other $400
million credit facility.
On September 10, 1996, the Operating Partnership retired the DRC secured
line of credit, in the amount of $112.0 million, which bore interest at LIBOR
plus 175 basis points, with proceeds from SPG, LP's two unsecured credit
facilities, which bore interest at LIBOR plus 132.5 basis points.
On September 27, 1996, the Company completed a $200 million public offering
(the "Preferred Offering") of 8,000,000 shares of 8 3/4% Series B Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock, generating net proceeds of approximately $193
million. The Company contributed the proceeds of such offering to the Operating
Partnership in exchange for preferred units in the Operating Partnership, which
ultimately used the net proceeds to repay $142.8 million of outstanding mortgage
indebtedness, $34.4 million under SPG, LP's two unsecured credit facilities,
$12.5 million for the acquisition of the remaining ownership of North East
Mall in Hurst, Texas and the remainder for working capital.
On September 27, 1996, the Operating Partnership obtained a $750 million,
unsecured, three-year credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), with a one year
extension at the option of the Operating Partnership which initially bears
interest at LIBOR plus 90 basis points and retired the outstanding borrowings of
SPG, LP in the aggregate principal amount of $323 million under SPG, LP's two
unsecured credit facilities, which bore interest at LIBOR plus 132.5 basis
points. The Credit Facility increases the Operating Partnership's available
capital by $150 million.
Both the Operating Partnership and the Company anticipate in the future
issuing additional debt or equity securities on a public or private basis. The
Operating Partnership is currently contemplating an issuance of unsecured debt
in the near future in an amount currently expected not to exceed $100 million.
During the first nine months of 1996, the Operating Partnership drew an
additional $33.2 million on its construction loan for Cottonwood Mall in
Albuquerque, New Mexico. As of September 30, 1996, a total of $55.6 million was
outstanding on this construction loan.
Development, Expansions and Renovations. The Operating Partnership is
involved in several development, expansion and renovation efforts.
The Operating Partnership is completing demolition of the existing Bakery
Centre in South Miami, Florida, in preparation for the $130 million development
of The Shops at Sunset Place. Pre-development efforts continue for this
75%-owned 500,000-square-foot retail and entertainment center.
Cottonwood Mall opened on July 31, 1996, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This
1.0 million-square-foot regional mall is wholly-owned by the Operating
Partnership. Cottonwood Mall is anchored by Dillard's, Foley's, JCPenney,
Mervyn's, Montgomery Ward, and a 76,000-square-foot United Artists STARPORT
entertainment complex, which is scheduled to open by the end of 1996.
Construction also continues on the following projects:
- A 250,000-square-foot phase II expansion of Forum, in which the
Operating Partnership has a 55% ownership interest, is scheduled to
open in the fall of 1997. The $90 million costs of the Forum project
are being funded with a portion of a $184 million two-tranche
financing facility which closed February 23, 1996.
- Ontario Mills, a 1.4 million-square-foot value-oriented regional mall
in Ontario, California, in which the Operating Partnership has a 25%
ownership interest, opens November 14, 1996. A $110 million
construction loan on this project has been obtained on this
approximately $168 mil-
18
<PAGE> 19
lion partnership venture with The Mills Corporation. The Operating Partnership
funded its $15.0 million equity commitment for this project in July 1996.
- The Operating Partnership owns 50% of the Indian River Mall and a
related community center, Indian River Commons. These developments are
being financed with $22.0 million of partner's equity and a $52.0
million construction loan. At September 30, 1996 $36.1 million of the
loan was outstanding. The mall will open November 15, 1996 and the
community center in the spring of 1997.
- The Source, a 730,000-square-foot retail development project in
Westbury (Long Island), New York, is expected to open in August of
1997. This new $150 million development will adjoin an existing
Fortunoff store. The Operating Partnership has a total equity
requirement of $31.1 million for this project. Construction Financing
of $120 million closed on this property in July of 1996. The loan
carries interest at LIBOR plus 170 basis points and matures on July
16, 1999. The Operating Partnership has made a $21.7 million equity
investment in this 50%-owned joint venture development through
September 30, 1996.
- Arizona Mills, a 1,225,000-square-foot retail development project in
Tempe, Arizona, broke ground on August 1, 1996. This $183 million
development is expected to open in November of 1997. A commitment has
been obtained for a five-year $145 million construction loan with
interest at LIBOR plus 160 basis points. The Operating Partnership has
an $11.2 million equity investment and a 25% ownership interest in
this joint venture development.
- Grapevine Mills, a 1,450,000-square-foot retail development project in
Fort Worth, Texas, broke ground on July 10, 1996, and is expected to
open in October of 1997. A commitment has been obtained for a
four-year $140 million construction loan with interest at LIBOR plus
165 basis points. The Operating Partnership will have a $13.9 million
equity commitment on this $188 million development project. The
Operating Partnership owns 37.5% of this joint venture development.
- The Tower Shops in Las Vegas, Nevada, is an approximately $24 million,
60,000-square-foot retail development project in which the Operating
Partnership owns a 50% interest. This retail development is scheduled
to open late in 1996. The Operating Partnership contributed its $3.2
million equity commitment in April of 1996.
Several renovation and expansion projects are currently under construction
and management continues to review additional projects. It is anticipated that
these projects will be financed principally with external borrowings, existing
corporate credit facilities and cash flows from operations.
Debt. At September 30, 1996, the Operating Partnership had consolidated
debt of $3,555.1 million, of which $2,481.6 million is fixed-rate debt and
$1,073.5 million is variable-rate debt. As of September 30, 1996, the Operating
Partnership had interest-rate protection agreements relating to $626.1 million
of the variable-rate debt, respectively. The agreements are generally in effect
until the related variable-rate debt matures.
The Operating Partnership's ratio of consolidated debt-to-market
capitalization was approximately 45.3% at September 30, 1996.
Distributions. The Operating Partnership declared a distribution of
$0.4925 per Unit in each of the first three quarters of 1996. In addition, a
special distribution of $0.1515 per unit was declared on August 9, 1996 to align
the time periods of distributions for the Company and DeBartolo Realty
Corporation under the definitive merger agreement. Future distributions will be
determined based on actual results of operations and cash available for
distribution. Preferred distributions of $0.5078 per Series A Preferred Unit
were also declared per quarter.
Capital Resources. Management anticipates that cash generated from
operating performance will provide the necessary funds on a short- and long-term
basis for its operating expenses, interest expense on outstanding indebtedness,
recurring capital expenditures and distributions to holders of Preferred Units
and Units.
19
<PAGE> 20
Management continues to actively review and evaluate property acquisition
opportunities. Management believes that funds on hand and amounts available
under the Credit Facility, together with the ability to issue shares of common
stock of the Company and/or Units, provide the means to finance certain
acquisitions. No assurance can be given that the Operating Partnership will not
be required to, or will not elect to, even if not required to, obtain funds from
outside sources, including through the sale of debt or equity securities, to
finance significant acquisitions, if any.
Investing and Financing Activities. Cash used in investing activities for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $58.0 million. Cash used in
investing activities included approximately $44 million for the acquisition of
the remaining economic ownership interest in Ross Park Mall, tenant allowances,
capital expenditures and development related costs of $110.7 million including
$31.3 million, $11.7 million, $6.1 million and $4.7 million at Cottonwood Mall,
Forum, Muncie Mall and The Shops at Sunset Place, respectively; and advances to
unconsolidated joint ventures totaling approximately $54.4 million, including
$18.9 million, $15.0 million, $5.7 million and $3.2 million in equity
contributions made to The Source, Ontario Mills, Arizona Mills and The Tower
Shops, respectively, to fund development activity. Cash received
in connection with the Merger and consolidation of joint venture properties was
$66.7 million. Cash received from unconsolidated entities of $45.4 million
included a $30.9 million return of equity from Smith Haven Mall. Additionally, a
note repayment was received from M.S. Management Associates ($38.6 million).
Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
included $61.5 million for tenant allowances, capital expenditures and
development related costs, a $14.6 million equity investment in Rolling Oaks
Mall, and $3.1 million for the acquisition of a joint venture interest in a
parcel of land to be held for development in Little Rock, Arkansas and $18.6
million for the acquisition of East Towne Mall, partially offset by $2.6 million
of net proceeds from the sale of a joint venture interest in land held for
development, distributions from unconsolidated entities ($4.3 million) and cash
of $3.4 million included in the acquisition of interest in White Oaks Mall.
Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 was $7.6 million less than the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The
decrease in cash used in 1996 as compared to 1995 was primarily the result of
$193.5 million in partnership contributions from the sale of preferred stock in
1996 partially offset by an increase of $41.7 million in distributions to
Unitholders and proceeds from sales of common stock in 1995 of $142.1 million.
EBITDA-EARNINGS FROM OPERATING RESULTS BEFORE INTEREST, TAXES, DEPRECIATION AND
AMORTIZATION
Management believes that there are several important factors that
contribute to the ability of the Operating Partnership to increase rent and
improve profitability of its shopping centers, including aggregate tenant sales
volume, sales per square foot, occupancy levels and tenant costs. Each of these
factors has a significant effect on EBITDA. Management believes that EBITDA is
an effective measure of shopping center operating performance because: (i) it is
industry practice to evaluate real estate properties based on operating income
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which is generally
equivalent to EBITDA; and (ii) EBITDA is unaffected by the debt and equity
structure of the property owner. 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 the Operating
Partnership's operating performance; (iii) is not indicative of cash flows from
operating, investing and financing activities; and (iv) is not an alternative to
cash flows as a measure of the Operating Partnership's liquidity.
Total EBITDA for the portfolio properties increased from $315.3 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $390.8 million for the same period
in 1996, representing a growth rate of 23.9%. This increase is primarily
attributable to the malls opened or acquired during 1995. During this period,
operating profit margin decreased slightly from 63.1% to 61.4%.
FFO-FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts ("NAREIT"), means the consolidated net income of the Operating
Partnership and its subsidiaries without giving effect to depreciation
20
<PAGE> 21
and amortization, gains or losses from extraordinary items, gains or losses on
sales of real estate, gains or losses on investments in marketable securities
and any provision/benefit for income taxes for such period, plus the allocable
portion, based on the Operating Partnership's ownership interest, of funds from
operations of unconsolidated joint ventures, all determined on a consistent
basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management
believes that FFO is an important and widely used measure of the operating
performance of REITs which provides a relevant basis for comparison among REITs.
FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of the
Operating Partnership. FFO: (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 the Operating
Partnership's 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 the Operating Partnership's liquidity. In March, 1995, NAREIT
modified its definition of FFO. The modified definition provides that
amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-rental real
estate assets are no longer to be added back to net income in arriving at FFO.
The modified definition was adopted by the Operating Partnership beginning in
1996. Additionally, the prior year FFO is being restated to reflect the new
definition in order to make the amounts comparative. Under the previous
definition, FFO for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1995,
would have been $52.3 million and $145.4 million, respectively.
The following summarizes FFO and reconciles net income to FFO for the
periods presented:

PORTFOLIO DATA
Operating statistics give effect to the merger of the Company and DeBartolo
Realty Corporation and are based upon the business and properties of the Company
and DRC on a combined basis.
Aggregate Tenant Sales Volume. For the nine months ended September 30,
1996 compared to the same period in 1995, total reported retail sales for mall
and freestanding stores at the regional malls and all stores at the community
shopping centers for GLA owned by the Operating Partnership ("Owned GLA")
increased 4.4% from $5,050 million to $5,331 million. Retail sales at Owned GLA
affect revenue and profitability levels because they determine the amount of
minimum rent that can be charged, the percentage rent realized, and the
recoverable expenses (common area maintenance, real estate taxes, etc.) the
tenants can afford to pay.
Occupancy Levels. Occupancy levels for regional malls were 84.3% at both
September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1996. Occupancy levels for community
shopping centers decreased from 94.0% at September 30, 1995 to 92.1% at
September 30, 1996. Total GLA has increased 3.0 million square feet from
21
<PAGE> 22
September 30, 1995 to September 30, 1996, primarily as a result of the October
1995 opening of Lakeline Mall, the December 1995 acquisition of Smith Haven
Mall and the July 1996 opening of Cottonwood Mall.
Average Base Rents. Average base rents per square foot of mall and
freestanding stores at regional mall Owned GLA increased 5.8%, from $19.08 to
$20.18 as of September 30, 1996 as compared to September 30, 1995. In community
shopping centers, average base rents per square foot of Owned GLA increased
3.2%, from $7.26 to $7.49 during this same period.
INFLATION
Inflation has remained relatively low during the past three years and has
had a minimal impact on the operating performance of the portfolio properties.
Nonetheless, substantially all of the tenants' leases contain provisions
designed to lessen the impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses
enabling the Operating Partnership to receive percentage rentals based on
tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or escalation
clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases.
In addition, many of the leases are for terms of less than ten years, which may
enable the Operating Partnership 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. Substantially all of the leases, other than those
for anchors, require the tenants to pay a proportionate share of operating
expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance,
thereby reducing the Operating Partnership's exposure to increases in costs and
operating expenses resulting from inflation.
However, inflation may have a negative impact on some of the Operating
Partnership's other operating items. Interest and general and administrative
expenses may be adversely affected by inflation as these specified costs could
increase at a rate higher than rents. Also, for tenant leases with stated rent
increases, inflation may have a negative effect as the stated rent increases in
these leases could be lower than the increase in inflation at any given time.
OTHER
The shopping center industry is seasonal in nature, particularly in the
fourth quarter during the holiday season, when tenant occupancy and retail sales
are typically at their highest levels. In addition, shopping malls achieve most
of their temporary tenant rents during the holiday season. As a result of the
above, earnings are generally highest in the fourth quarter of each year.
Management recognizes the retail industry is cyclical in nature and some
tenants continue to experience difficulties, which is reflected in sales trends
and in the bankruptcies and continued restructuring of several prominent retail
organizations. Continuation of these trends could impact future earnings
performance.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1: Legal Proceedings
On October 16, 1996, a complaint was filed in the Court of Common Pleas
of Mahoning County, Ohio, captioned Carlo Angostinelli et al. v. DeBartolo
Realty Corp. et al. The named defendants are SD Property Group, Inc., a
99%-owned subsidiary of the Company, and DeBartolo Properties Management, Inc.,
and the plaintiffs are 24 former employees of the defendants. In the complaint,
the number of plaintiffs allege that they were recipients of deferred stock
grants under the DRC 1994 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and that these
grants immediately vested under the Plan's "change in control" provision as a
result of the Merger. Plaintiffs assert that the defendants' refusal to issue
them approximately 579,000 shares of DRC common stock, which is equivalent to
approximately 394,000 shares of common stock of the Company computed at the .68
exchange ratio used in the Merger, constitutes a breach of contract and a breach
of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing under Ohio law.
Plaintiffs seek damages equal to such number of shares of DRC common stock, or
cash in lieu thereof, equal to all deferred stock ever granted to them under the
Plan, dividends on such stock from the time of the grants, compensatory damages
for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and punitive
damages.
The complaint was served on the defendants on October 28, 1996, and
pre-trial proceedings have not yet commenced. The Company is of the opinion that
it has meritorious defenses and accordingly intends to defend thsi action
vigorously. While it is difficult for the Company to predict the outcome of this
litigation at this stage based on the information known to the Company to date,
the Company does not expect this action will have a material adverse effect on
the Company.
Neither the Company nor any of the portfolio properties is currently a party
to any material pending legal proceedings nor, to management's knowledge,
is any material legal proceeding currently contemplated by governmental
authorities against the Company or the portfolio properties. The entities that
own portfolio properties are parties to a variety of routine litigation arising
in the ordinary course of business. Most of such proceedings are covered by
liability insurance. All of such proceedings, taken together, are not expected
to have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating or financial
results.
