REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors
of Westfield America, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenues and certain
expenses for the year ended December 31, 1997 of selected TrizecHahn Acquisition
Properties, as defined in Note 1, which are intended to be acquired less than
100% by Westfield America, Inc. This combined statement is the responsibility
of TrizecHahn Centers, Inc. management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on this combined statement based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the combined statement is free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the statement. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined statement. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As described in Note 2, this combined statement excludes certain expenses that
would not be comparable with those resulting from the operations of the
TrizecHahn Acquisition Properties after acquisition by Westfield America, Inc.
The accompanying combined statement was prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 3-
14 of Regulation S-X and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the
TrizecHahn Acquisition Properties' revenues and expenses.
In our opinion, the combined statement referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the revenues and certain expenses described in Note 2, of the
TrizecHahn Acquisition Properties for the year ended December 31, 1997, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following are significant accounting policies followed in the
preparation of the accompanying Combined Statement. This Combined
Statement and notes are representations of TrizecHahn and THCMI, whose
managements are responsible for their integrity and objectivity.
Basis of Presentation:
---------------------
The accompanying Combined Statement is presented on the accrual basis of
accounting in conformity with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, it is not representative of the
actual operations for the period presented because certain expenses, which
may not be comparable to those expected to be incurred by Westfield in the
proposed future operations of the Properties, have been excluded. Expenses
excluded consist of depreciation and amortization. For North County Fair
which will become wholly-owned by Westfield upon acquisition of
TrizecHahn's 55% interest, management and leasing fees have also been
excluded.
Revenue Recognition:
-------------------
Minimum rent revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the
terms of the individual leases. Certain of the leases provide for
additional rental revenue ("Overage Rents") to be paid based upon the level
of sales achieved by the lessee. These Overage Rents are recognized on the
accrual basis. Tenants are also charged for certain operating expenses,
including real estate taxes, insurance and common area costs. Such recovery
is recorded in the period the applicable costs are incurred.
Lease Fees:
----------
Payments received from tenants in connection with early termination of a
tenant's lease(s) are recognized as income when received.
Maintenance and Repairs:
-----------------------
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
Management's Estimates and Certain Risks:
----------------------------------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.

3. INTEREST EXPENSE:
Valley Fair:
-----------
On October 20, 1997, the Partnership entered into a $100 million loan
agreement with a commercial bank which is collateralized by a deed of trust
on the shopping center property and an assignment of leases and rents. The
agreement provides that the Partnership can: (1) borrow funds at the
greater of the then current federal funds rate plus 0.5% per annum or the
then current prime rate of the commercial banks; or (2) borrow funds at the
current London Interbank Offered ("LIBO") rate, as defined, plus 0.75% per
annum for periods ranging from one to six months. $80 million was
initially drawn on the loan with the proceeds being used to pay off the
interest rate exchange contract which expired. These funds were obtained
under the LIBO option. Interest is payable monthly and the note balance is
due October 20, 1999. The variable interest rate in effect on the
outstanding balance as of December 31, 1997 was 6.625%.
The Partnership had also entered into interest rate exchange contracts,
aggregating $41,000,000, to minimize the impact of changes in interest
rates associated with the commercial paper program. The exchange contracts
provided for the Partnership to pay annual interest at an average fixed
rate of 8.825%. Variable interest payments received were based on various
market indexes including six-month LIBO and thirty-day commercial paper.
Total interest expense was $5,355,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997.

expense for 1997.
A portion of land on one of the leased tracts has been subleased by North
County Fair to the anchor department stores. North County Fair's fixed
annual rent is reduced by payments made directly to the municipality under
the subleases. North County Fair is contingently liable for the total
fixed annual rent amount. There have been no instances of nonpayment by
