(1)  The company generally considers Funds from Operations, a widely used and
     appropriate measure of performance for an equity REIT, which provides a
     relevant basis for comparison among REITs. Funds from Operations ("FFO") as
     defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
     ("NAREIT") means net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principals ("GAAP")) excluding gains (or losses) from
     debt restructuring and sale of property, plus real estate related
     depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated
     partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is presented to assist investors in
     analyzing performance of the Company. The Company's method of calculating
     FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs. FFO (i) does not
     represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, (ii) is not
     indicative of cash available to fund cash flow needs and liquidity and
     (iii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income for purposes
     of evaluating the Company's operating performance.

(1)  Ontario Mills is excluded from this analysis, due to it still being in its
     initial lease up phase.

(2)  The releasing spread is calculated as the difference between per square
     foot openings and per square foot closings for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1997. Openings and closings include renewals but exclude 
     exercised options.

(3)  An alternative releasing spread matching the 77,029 sq ft openings with 
     previous tenant occupying said space would yield a releasing spread of 
     $(.25).

(1)  This indebtedness is a 30 year amortizing loan with an anticipated balloon
     repayment on December 18, 2003. In the event the mortgage loan is not
     repaid by the anticipated balloon repayment date, the annual interest rate
     for each tranche will be increased by 2% per annum in excess of the stated
     interest rate. In addition, excess cash flow available after payment of the
     increased interest rate and scheduled amortization will be used to reduce
     the principal balance of the loan. Principal repayments are based on the
     scheduled amortization, assuming a 7% mortgage interest rate, over a 30
     year period, with the monthly amortization payments being applied
     sequentially, beginning with Tranche A to reduce the principal balance.

(2)  Optional payments of principal are not permitted prior to December 17,
     1999. After such date, prepayments, in whole or in part, are permitted upon
     15 days notice. In addition, the Company is required to pay a prepayment
     penalty equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the remaining principal balance
     or (ii) a yield preservation payment. Generally, yield preservation
     payments are intended to compensate the lender for the total amount of
     interest it would have earned on the indebtedness but for the repayment,
     less the amount of interest that the lender could earn if it invested the
     repayment amount in United States Treasury obligations or other similar
     securities from the date of the repayment through the maturity date of the
     indebtedness.

(3)  This indebtedness is a 30 year amortizing loan with an anticipated balloon
     repayment on May 5, 2007. In the event the mortgage loan is not repaid by
     the anticipated balloon repayment date, the annual interest rate will be
     increased by 5% per annum in excess of the stated interest rate. In
     addition, excess cash flow available after payment of the increased
     interest rate and scheduled amortization will be used to reduce the
     principal balance of the loan. The loan balance can be increased to
     $165,000 through May 4, 1998, subject to certain financial requirements
     relating to increases over $130,000. The loan amount was increased to
     $130,000 on August 8, 1997.

(4)  This indebtedness may be prepaid, without a prepayment penalty, beginning
     180 days prior to May 5, 2007. Prior to that date, there is no right to
     prepay the indebtedness, except that $12.5 million of the principal
     balance, which has been allocated to the Liberty Plaza shopping center, may
     be defeased through the establishment of defeasance collateral (which may
     include government or agency securities that have the full faith and credit
     of the United States government).

(5)  Optional payments of principal on Tranche A of this indebtedness are not
     permitted prior to June 20, 2000 other than in connection with certain
     casualty or condemnation events occurring with respect to Sawgrass Mills.
     On and after such date, Tranche A may be prepaid in full, but not in part,
     without any prepayment penalty. Optional prepayments of Tranches B and C of
     the indebtedness may be made, in whole or in part, at any time without any
     prepayment penalty, but only if payments of interest are current with
     respect to each outstanding Tranche and an event of default is not then
     continuing.

(6)  The loan agreement provides for a cap on LIBOR at 14% for the life of the
     loan.

(7)  Calculated using 30-day LIBOR at 5.66%, which was the rate at September 30,
     1997.

(8)  Prepayable at any time, in whole or in part, at any time without prepayment
     penalty.

(9)  Prepayable, in whole or in part, upon 30 days notice to the lender and the
     payment of a prepayment penalty. The penalty percentage due on prepayment
     at any time during the six months ending December 31, 1997 is 2.5% of the
     outstanding principal amount. Thereafter, the penalty decreases by 0.5% per
     six month period to a minimum of 1.5%. During the last three months of its
     term, the indebtedness may be prepaid without penalty or premium.

(10) Prepayable, in whole or in part, at any time, upon 60 days prior notice to
     the lender. Only in the case of a partial prepayment is the Company
     required to pay a prepayment penalty equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the
     principal balance, or (ii) a yield preservation payment.

(11) Primarily corporate debt with maturities under one year. Prepayable, in
     whole or in part, at any time without prepayment penalty.

(12) The total commitment under the Line of Credit is $60,000. Funds are
     available subject to certain performance measures and restrictive
     covenants.
