NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Six months ended June 30, 1996
Note 1 - Interim Financial Statements
The Taubman Realty Group Limited Partnership (TRG) engages in the ownership,
operation, management, leasing, acquisition, development, redevelopment,
expansion, financing and refinancing of regional retail shopping centers
(Taubman Shopping Centers) and interests therein. Taubman Centers, Inc. (TCI) is
the managing general partner of TRG. GMPTS Limited Partnership, TG Partners
Limited Partnership and Taub-Co Management, Inc. are also general partners.
The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and related notes included in TRG's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim
periods have been made. The results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results for a full year.
Note 2 - Acquisition
In June 1996, TRG acquired the Paseo Nuevo shopping center (Paseo Nuevo)
located in Santa Barbara, California. Paseo Nuevo is a 463,000 square foot open
air center, with 137,000 square feet of mall tenant area. The Center is anchored
by Macy's and Nordstrom. TRG borrowed under its existing lines of credit to fund
the $37 million purchase price. The Center is owned subject to two participating
ground leases with remaining terms of approximately 70 years. The acquisition
was recorded at fair value. The operating results of Paseo Nuevo have been
consolidated in TRG's financial statements from the acquisition date. TRG
expects the acquisition to have an immaterial effect on net income in 1996. The
pro forma effect of the acquisition on 1995 net income is also immaterial.

THE TAUBMAN REALTY GROUP LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
TRG reduces its investment in Joint Ventures to eliminate intercompany profits
on sales of services that are capitalized by the Joint Ventures. As a result,
the carrying value of TRG's investment in Joint Ventures is less than TRG's
share of the deficiency in assets reported in the combined balance sheet of the
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures by $4.8 million and $6.6 million at December 31,
1995 and at June 30, 1996, respectively. These differences are amortized over
the useful lives of the related assets.
Combined balance sheet and results of operations information are presented
below (in thousands) for all Joint Ventures, followed by TRG's beneficial
interest in the combined information. Beneficial interest is calculated based on
TRG's ownership interest in each of the Joint Ventures.

Note 5 - Incentive Option Plan
TRG has an incentive option plan for employees of the Manager. Currently,
4,500 units of partnership interest may be issued under the plan. The exercise
price of all outstanding options is equal to fair market value on the date of
grant. Incentive options generally become exercisable to the extent of one-third
of the units on each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date of
grant. Options expire ten years from the date of grant. There were outstanding
options for 4,119 units and 4,110 units as of December 31, 1995 and June 30,
1996, respectively, with exercise prices ranging from $18 thousand to $27
thousand per unit. Options for nine units were canceled in the second quarter of
1996. As of December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996, options for 1,195 and 1,336
units, respectively, were exercisable with an exercise price range of $22
thousand to $27 thousand per unit.
Note 6 - Extinguishment of debt
In the second quarter of 1995, TRG recognized an extraordinary charge to
income of approximately $2.2 million relating to the extinguishment of debt of
TRG and a Joint Venture, consisting primarily of prepayment penalties.

Note 7 - Subsequent Events
In July 1996, TRG completed transactions that resulted in it acquiring the 75%
interest in Fairlane Town Center (Fairlane), previously held by a joint venture
partner. In connection with the transactions, TRG issued to the former joint
venture partner 3,096 units of partnership interest, economically equivalent to
approximately 6.1 million shares of TCI common stock, which had a closing price
of $10.75 per share on the day prior to the issuance date. The former joint
venture partner is obligated to hold the partnership units for at least one
year. TRG also assumed mortgage debt of approximately $26 million, representing
the former joint venture partner's beneficial interest in the $34.6 million
mortgage encumbering the property. TRG used unsecured debt to fund the repayment
of the 9.73% mortgage and the prepayment penalty of approximately $1.2 million
(see below). The acquisition, which resulted in TRG owning 100% of Fairlane, was
accounted for at fair value. Prior to the acquisition date, TRG's interest in
Fairlane was accounted for under the equity method. Pro forma results of TRG's
operations, assuming the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1995, are as
follows:

The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actual results
would have been had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 1995, nor are they
necessarily indicative of future results.
In late July 1996, TRG issued $154 million of unsecured notes using its
medium-term note program. The notes were used to pay down TRG's floating rate
bank lines bearing interest at approximately LIBOR plus 1.5 percent as well as
to pay off the $34.6 million, 9.73 percent mortgage on Fairlane Town Center and
the related prepayment penalty of approximately $1.2 million, leaving the wholly
owned property unencumbered. The issuance included $100 million of notes with a
five year maturity, including $70 million of fixed rate notes at 8 percent and
$30 million of floating rate notes bearing interest at 3-month LIBOR plus 105
basis points. The remaining $54 million of notes have maturities of two and
three years and bear interest at 3-month LIBOR plus 77 to 90 basis points. TRG
has issued a total of $287 million medium-term notes since the program's
inception in 1995 under TRG's $500 million shelf registration statement.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
Consolidated Financial Statements of The Taubman Realty Group Limited
Partnership and the Notes thereto.
General Background and Performance Measurement
The Taubman Realty Group Limited Partnership (TRG) is an operating partnership
that engages in the full range of activities of the regional shopping center
business. These activities include the ownership, operation, management,
leasing, expansion, acquisition, development, redevelopment, financing, and
refinancing of regional shopping centers. TRG's Managed Businesses include: (i)
wholly owned Taubman Shopping Centers, development projects for future regional
shopping centers (Development Projects) and The Taubman Company Limited
Partnership (the Manager), (collectively, the Consolidated Businesses); and (ii)
Taubman Shopping Centers partially owned through joint ventures (Joint
Ventures).
TRG consolidates the wholly owned Taubman Shopping Centers, the Development
Projects, and the Manager. The Joint Ventures are accounted for under the equity
method in TRG's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Certain aspects of the performance of the Managed Businesses are best
understood by measuring their performance as a whole, without regard to TRG's
ownership interest. For example, mall tenant sales and shopping center occupancy
trends fit this category and are so analyzed below. In addition, trends in
certain items of revenue and expense are often best understood in the same
fashion and the discussions following take this approach when appropriate. When
relevant, these items are also discussed separately with regard to the
Consolidated Businesses and the Joint Ventures.
Seasonality
The regional shopping center industry is seasonal in nature, with mall tenant
sales highest in the fourth quarter due to the Christmas season, and with
lesser, though still significant, sales fluctuations associated with the Easter
holiday and back-to-school events. While minimum rents and recoveries are
generally not subject to seasonal factors, most leases are scheduled to expire
in the first quarter, and the majority of new stores open in the second half of
the year in anticipation of the Christmas selling season. Accordingly, revenues
and occupancy levels are generally highest in the fourth quarter and the
difference between ending occupancy and leased space is generally lowest at year
end.
The following table summarizes certain quarterly operating data for TRG's
Managed Businesses for 1995 and the first and second quarters of 1996 (Bellevue
Center is included in the data below through October 1995):

</TABLE>

<PAGE>
Because the seasonality of sales contrasts with the generally fixed nature of
minimum rents and recoveries, mall tenant occupancy costs (the sum of minimum
rents, percentage rents and expense recoveries) relative to sales are
considerably higher in the first three quarters than they are in the fourth
quarter. The following table summarizes occupancy costs, excluding utilities,
for mall tenants as a percentage of sales for 1995 and the first and second
quarters of 1996:

Rental Rates
As leases have expired in the Taubman Shopping Centers, TRG has generally been
able to rent the available space, either to the existing tenant or a new tenant,
at rental rates that are higher than those of the expired leases. In a period of
increasing sales, rents on new leases will tend to rise as tenants' expectations
of future growth become more optimistic. In periods of slower growth or
declining sales, rents on new leases will grow more slowly or will decline for
the opposite reason. However, Center revenues nevertheless increase as older
leases roll over or are terminated early and replaced with new leases negotiated
at current rental rates that are usually higher than the average rates for
existing leases. The following table contains certain information regarding per
square foot base rent at Taubman Shopping Centers that have been owned and open
for five years.

Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 to the Three and Six
Months Ended June 30, 1995
Occupancy and Mall Tenant Sales
Average occupancy rates in the Taubman Shopping Centers were 87.3% in both the
three months ended June 30, 1996 and the comparable period in 1995. For the six
months ended June 30, 1996, average occupancy was 87.6% compared to 87.5% for
the same period in 1995. Ending occupancy rates for the Taubman Shopping Centers
at June 30, 1996 were 87.3% versus 87.5% at the same date in 1995. Leased space
at June 30, 1996 was 88.2% compared to 90.3% at the same date in 1995. Given the
level of leased space at June 30, 1996, TRG currently expects that occupancy for
the remainder of 1996 will be modestly less than the previous year's levels.
However, TRG expects that average occupancy for the year will be comfortably
within TRG's historic range of average annual occupancy.
Total sales for Taubman Shopping Center mall tenants increased in the three
months ended June 30, 1996 by 5.1% to $617.8 million from $587.7 million in the
three months ended June 30, 1995. Tenant sales increased 7.1% to $1.21 billion
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $1.13 billion in the comparable
period in 1995. Mall tenant sales per square foot increased 6.5% and 8.4% in the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996, over the comparable periods in 1995.
Excluding Bellevue Center (Bellevue), the increase in sales was 7.2% and 9.2%
for the three and six month periods, respectively, and sales per square foot for
mall tenants was up 4.3% and 6.2% for the three and six months ended June 30,
1996.

TRG --Consolidated Businesses
Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were $59.8 million, a
$4.2 million or 7.6% increase over the comparable period in 1995. Minimum rents
increased $3.0 million due to the expansions at Short Hills and Meadowood and
tenant rollovers. The increase in other revenues of $0.9 million was primarily
due to increases in management, leasing, and development services and a gain on
the sale of peripheral land, offset by a decrease in lease cancellation revenue.
Total operating costs increased $3.1 million, or 6.1%, to $54.1 million. Other
operating costs increased $1.1 million due to increases in bad debt expense and
various other expenses. Interest expense increased $1.2 million due primarily to
an increase in debt levels, including debt used to finance capital expenditures,
and a decrease in capitalized interest, partially offset by decreased interest
rates. The increase in depreciation and amortization was due primarily to the
expansions at Short Hills and Meadowood.
Joint Ventures
Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were $68.7 million, a
$0.1 million or 0.1% decrease from the comparable period of 1995, of which a
$3.1 million decrease was caused by the November 1995 disposition of Bellevue,
largely offset by increases at other Centers. Minimum rents increased due to the
expansion at Woodfield and tenant rollovers, offset by the decrease due to
Bellevue. Expense recoveries increased due to the increase in recoverable
expenses, offset by the decrease due to Bellevue.
Total operating costs increased by $0.1 million, or 0.2%, to $45.5 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1996, representing a $3.6 million decrease due
to Bellevue, offset by increases at other Centers. Recoverable expenses
decreased $0.1 million primarily due to Bellevue and a decrease in utilities
expense, largely offset by increases in maintenance costs and property taxes,
including those related to the expansion at Woodfield. Other operating costs
increased $1.5 million primarily due to increases in bad debt expense and to a
nonrecurring $0.5 million payment to an anchor at one Center. Interest expense
decreased $1.1 million due to a decrease in debt due to the disposition of
Bellevue and an increase in capitalized interest, partially offset by increases
due to higher debt levels, including debt used to finance capital expenditures,
and higher interest rates on certain debt refinanced in 1995. Operating costs as
presented in the preceding table differ from the amounts shown in the combined,
summarized financial statements (Note 3 to TRG's financial statements) of the
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures by the amount of intercompany profit.
As a result of the foregoing, income before extraordinary items of the Joint
Ventures decreased by $0.1 million, or 0.4 %, to $23.3 million. TRG's equity in
income before extraordinary items of the Joint Ventures was $12.7 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Net Income
As a result of the foregoing, TRG's income before extraordinary items
increased by $1.2 million, or 6.9%, to $18.5 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1996. In the second quarter of 1995, TRG recognized $2.2 million in
extraordinary charges related to the prepayment of debt at TRG and at one of its
Joint Ventures. Net income for the second quarter of 1996 was $18.5 million,
compared to $15.0 million for the second quarter of 1995.

TRG --Consolidated Businesses
Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $119.5 million, a
$10.4 million or 9.5% increase from the comparable period in 1995. Minimum rents
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased $6.3 million because of the
expansion at Short Hills and Meadowood and tenant rollovers. The increase in
expense recoveries was caused by higher recoverable expenses. Other income
increased primarily due to increases in management, leasing and development
services, a gain on the sale of peripheral land and increases in interest income
and rental fees on exterior advertising signs, offset by a decrease in lease
cancellation income.
Total operating costs increased by $7.2 million, or 7.3%, to $106.3 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The $1.1 million increase in recoverable
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was due primarily to increases
in maintenance costs and property taxes, including those related to the
expansion at Short Hills. General and administrative expense in the first six
months of 1996 was unchanged from the comparable period in 1995, resulting from
a $0.8 million charge in the first quarter of 1995 for severance and termination
benefits, offset by increases in occupancy and other costs in 1996. Interest
expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased by $3.2 million
primarily due to an increase in debt levels, including debt used to finance
capital expenditures, and decreases in capitalized interest, partially offset by
decreases in interest rates. Depreciation and amortization also increased
primarily due to the expansions at Short Hills and Meadowood.
Joint Ventures
Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $138.7 million, a
$0.3 million or 0.2% decrease from the comparable period of 1995, of which a
$6.3 million decrease was caused by the November 1995 disposition of Bellevue,
largely offset by increases at other Centers. The increase in minimum rents was
caused by the expansions at Woodfield and Cherry Creek and tenant rollovers,
offset by the decrease due to Bellevue. The increase in recoveries from tenants
was due to the increase in recoverable expenses. Other income decreased due to a
gain on the sale of peripheral land in 1995, and decreased interest income and
lease cancellation income in 1996.
Total operating costs increased by $0.5 million, or 0.6%, to $90.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1996, representing a $7.1 million decrease due to
Bellevue, offset by increases at other Centers. Recoverable expenses increased
$1.1 million primarily due to increases in property taxes and maintenance costs,
including those related to the expansion at Woodfield, offset by the decrease
due to Bellevue. Other operating costs increased by $1.5 million, reflecting
increases in bad debt expense, promotion and advertising costs, and a
nonrecurring $0.5 million payment to an anchor at one of the Centers, offset by
the decrease due to Bellevue. Interest expense decreased $0.8 million primarily
due to the decrease in debt due to the disposition of Bellevue and an increase
in capitalized interest, partially offset by increases due to higher debt
levels, including debt used to finance capital expenditures, and increased
interest rates on certain debt refinanced in 1995. Operating costs as presented
in the preceding table differ from the amounts shown in the combined, summarized
financial statements (Note 3 to TRG's financial statements) of the
unconsolidated Joint Ventures by the amount of intercompany profit.
As a result of the foregoing, income before extraordinary items of the Joint
Ventures was $48.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 1996, a decrease of
1.6% from the comparable period in 1995. TRG's equity in income before
extraordinary items of the Joint Ventures was $26.1 million in the six months
ended June 30, 1996, a decrease of 2.2% from the comparable period in 1995.

<PAGE>
Net Income
As a result of the foregoing, TRG's income before extraordinary items for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 increased by $2.7 million, or 7.4%, to $39.4
million. In the six months ended June 30, 1995, TRG recognized $2.2 million in
extraordinary charges related to the prepayment of debt at TRG and at one of its
Joint Ventures. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $39.4
million, a 14.2% increase from the comparable period in 1995.
Recent Acquisitions
In June 1996, TRG acquired the Paseo Nuevo shopping center, located in Santa
Barbara, California, for $37 million. TRG borrowed under its existing lines of
credit to fund the acquisition. The acquisition is expected to have an
immaterial effect on net income in 1996. The acquisition is also expected to
produce EBITDA in excess of 10% of the acquisition cost in its first twelve
months (EBITDA is defined and described in Liquidity and Capital Resources -
Distributions). See Note 2 to TRG's consolidated financial statements for
further discussion of the acquisition.
In July 1996, TRG completed transactions that resulted in it acquiring the 75%
interest in Fairlane Town Center (Fairlane) previously held by a joint venture
partner. In connection with the transactions, TRG issued to the former joint
venture partner 3,096 units of partnership interest, economically equivalent to
6.1 million shares of Taubman Centers, Inc. (TRG's "Managing General Partner")
common stock, which had a closing price of $10.75 per share on the day prior to
the issuance date. TRG also assumed mortgage debt of approximately $26 million,
representing the former joint venture partner's beneficial interest in the $34.6
million mortgage encumbering the property. TRG used unsecured debt to fund the
repayment of the 9.73% mortgage and the prepayment penalty of approximately $1.2
million. In addition, the acquisition is expected to incrementally add over $11
million to EBITDA over the twelve months following the acquisition (EBITDA is
defined and discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources - Distributions). See
Note 7 to TRG's consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the
acquisition.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 1996, TRG had a cash balance of $15.3 million. TRG has
available for general partnership purposes an unsecured revolving credit
facility of $200 million, which expires in May 1998. Borrowings under this
facility at June 30, 1996 were $121 million. TRG also has available an unsecured
bank line of credit of up to $30 million with borrowings of $22 million at June
30, 1996. This line expires in August 1997. A substantial portion of the
proceeds from the issuance of medium-term notes was used to pay down borrowings
under these facilities in July 1996 (see below). TRG also has available a
secured commercial paper facility, supported by a line of credit facility, of up
to $75 million, all of which had been issued at June 30, 1996. Commercial paper
is generally sold with a 30 day maturity. The underlying credit facility is
renewable quarterly for a twelve month period.
Proceeds from short-term borrowings provided $55.7 million of funding
(including $37 million for the acquisition in June 1996 of the Paseo Nuevo
shopping center) for the first half of 1996 compared to $36.3 million in 1995.
In the second quarter of 1995, the net proceeds of issuances totaling $119.4
million under TRG's medium-term note program were used to pay down floating rate
debt under TRG's revolving credit facilities as well as to pay off the $22.6
million mortgage securing a wholly owned Center. Scheduled principal payments on
installment notes and repayments on other borrowings were $13.2 million and $227
thousand in 1995 and 1996, respectively.

<PAGE>
At June 30, 1996, TRG's debt (excluding TRG's capital lease obligation) and
its beneficial interest in the debt of its Joint Ventures totaled $1,400.8
million. As shown in the following table, $43.8 million of this debt was
floating rate debt that remained unhedged at June 30, 1996, but was
substantially paid down in July (see below). Interest rates shown do not include
amortization of debt issuance costs and interest rate hedging costs. These items
are reported as interest expense in TRG's results of operations. In the
aggregate, these costs accounted for 0.31% of the effective rate of interest on
TRG's beneficial interest in debt at June 30, 1996. Included in TRG's beneficial
interest in debt at June 30, 1996 is debt used to fund development and expansion
costs. TRG's beneficial interest in assets on which interest is being
capitalized totaled $107.7 million as of June 30, 1996. TRG's beneficial
interest in capitalized interest was $2.1 million and $3.8 million for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively.

In late July, TRG issued $154 million of unsecured notes under its medium-term
note program. The notes were used to pay down TRG's floating rate bank lines
bearing interest at approximately LIBOR plus 1.5 percent as well as to pay off
the $34.6 million, 9.73 percent mortgage on Fairlane Town Center and the related
prepayment penalty of approximately $1.2 million, leaving the wholly owned
property unencumbered. The pay down of TRG's bank lines resulted in
approximately $190 million of availability under these lines as of the end of
July 1996. The issuance included $100 million of notes with a five year
maturity, including $70 million of fixed rate notes at 8 percent and $30 million
of floating rate notes bearing interest at 3-month LIBOR plus 105 basis points.
The remaining $54 million of notes have maturities of two and three years and
bear interest at 3-month LIBOR plus 77 to 90 basis points. TRG has issued a
total of $287 million medium-term notes since the program's inception in 1995
under TRG's $500 million shelf registration statement.

<PAGE>
TRG's loan agreements and indenture contain various restrictive covenants
including limitations on the amount of secured and unsecured debt and minimum
debt services coverage ratios, the latter being the most restrictive. TRG is in
compliance with all of such covenants.
Distributions
A principal factor considered by TRG in deciding upon distributions to
partners is an amount, which TRG defines as Distributable Cash Flow, equal to
EBITDA less TRG's Beneficial Interest Expense and non-real estate depreciation
and amortization. This measure of performance is influenced not only by
operations but also by capital structure. EBITDA is defined as TRG's beneficial
interest in revenues, less operating costs before interest, depreciation and
amortization, meaning TRG's pro rata share of this result for each of the
Managed Businesses, after recording appropriate intercompany eliminations. TRG's
Beneficial Interest Expense is defined as 100% of the interest expense of TRG's
Consolidated Businesses and TRG's pro rata share of the interest expense on the
debt of the Joint Ventures. EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow do not represent
cash flows from operations, as defined by generally accepted accounting
principles, and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income as
an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows from operations as a
measure of liquidity.
The following table summarizes TRG's Distributable Cash Flow for the three
months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996:

In March 1995, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
(NAREIT) issued a clarification of the definition of Funds from Operations.
Because Distributable Cash Flow is intended to be equivalent to Funds from
Operations, beginning in 1996, TRG modified its calculation of Distributable
Cash Flow to be consistent with NAREIT's clarified definition. As a result, TRG
adjusted the depreciation and amortization amount added back to net income to
include only depreciation and amortization of assets uniquely significant to the
real estate industry. Distributable Cash Flow for the first and second quarters
of 1995 has been restated in the tables above to reflect the clarified
definition. The following table presents a restatement of Distributable Cash
Flow for the year and each quarter of 1995.

During the second quarter of 1996, EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow were
$53.8 million and $29.3 million, compared to $51.7 million and $27.7 million, as
restated, for the same period in 1995. TRG distributed $29.1 million to its
partners in both of the second quarters of 1996 and 1995.
During the first half of 1996, EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow were $110.0
million and $60.8 million, compared to $104.6 million and $57.9 million, as
restated, for the same period in 1995. TRG distributed $58.1 million to its
partners in each of the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.
The Partnership Committee of TRG makes an annual determination of appropriate
distributions for each year. The determination is based on anticipated
Distributable Cash Flow, as well as financing considerations and such other
factors as the Partnership Committee considers appropriate. Further, the
Partnership Committee has decided that the growth in distributions will be less
than the growth in Distributable Cash Flow for the immediate future.
Except under unusual circumstances, TRG's practice is to distribute equal
monthly installments of the determined amount of distributions throughout the
year. Due to seasonality and the fact that cash available to TRG for
distributions may be more or less than net cash provided from operating
activities plus distributions from Joint Ventures during the year, TRG may
borrow from unused credit facilities (described above) to enable it to
distribute the amount decided upon by the TRG Partnership Committee.
Distributions by each Joint Venture may be made only in accordance with the
terms of its partnership agreement. TRG acts as the managing partner in each
case and, in general, has the right to determine the amount of cash available
for distribution from the Joint Venture. In general, the provisions of these
agreements require the distribution of all available cash (as defined in each
partnership agreement), but most do not allow borrowing to finance distributions
without approval of the Joint Venture Partner.
As a result, distribution policies of many Joint Ventures will not parallel
those of TRG. While TRG may not, therefore, receive as much in distributions
from each Joint Venture as it intends to distribute with respect to that Joint
Venture, TRG does not believe this will impede its intended distribution policy
because of TRG's overall access to liquid resources, including borrowing
capacity.
Any inability of TRG or its Joint Ventures to secure financing as required to
fund maturing debts, capital expenditures and changes in working capital,
including development activities and expansions, may require the utilization of
cash to satisfy such obligations, thereby possibly reducing distributions to
partners of TRG.
In addition, if the GM Trusts exercise their rights under the Cash Tender
Agreement (see below), TRG will be required to pay the GM Trusts $10.9 million
and may borrow to finance such expenditures.

Capital Spending
Capital spending for routine maintenance of the Taubman Shopping Centers is
generally recovered from tenants. Excluding acquisitions, 1996 planned capital
spending by the Managed Businesses not recovered from tenants is summarized in
the following table:

===== ===== =====
(1) Costs are net of intercompany profits.
(2) Includes costs related to expansion projects at Marley, Meadowood, and
Stoneridge. Also includes costs related to leasehold improvements at The
Mall at Tuttle Crossing; excludes capital lease assets.
(3) Includes costs related to expansion projects at Westfarms and Cherry Creek.
Also includes construction costs for MacArthur Center and Arizona Mills.
(4) Includes costs to explore the possibilities of building an enclosed 1.7
million square foot value super-regional mall in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
New Sears stores are scheduled to open in the fall of 1996 at Marley Station
and Stoneridge. In addition, new Lord & Taylor stores, formerly Woodward &
Lothrop stores, will open in August 1996 at Fair Oaks and Lakeforest. An
expansion at Westfarms, which is expected to open in the fall of 1997, will add
approximately 135,000 square feet of mall GLA and Nordstrom as an anchor.
Additionally, an expansion at Cherry Creek is currently in the planning stage.
The expansion, which will add 120,000 square feet of mall GLA, is expected to
open in the fall of 1998.
TRG continues to evaluate possible uses of the space vacated when Saks Fifth
Avenue moved to the I. Magnin site at Biltmore. A project to utilize 30,000
square feet of this space for new mall tenants, which is presently expected to
open in 1997, is in the planning stage.
In 1995, construction began on The Mall at Tuttle Crossing, a 980,000 square
foot Center in Northwest Columbus, Ohio, which will be anchored by Marshall
Field's, Lazarus, JCPenney and Sears. TRG has entered into an agreement to lease
the land and mall buildings from Tuttle Holding Co., which owns the land on
which the Center is being built. TRG will make ninety annual minimum lease
payments of $4.4 million beginning when the Center opens in the fall of 1997.
Substantially all of each payment in the first ten years of operation will be
recognized as interest expense. TRG will also pay additional rent based on
achieved levels of net operating income, a measure of operating performance
before rent payments, as specified in the agreement (NOI); 100% of the portion
of NOI which is over $11.6 million but less than or equal to $14.4 million, 30%
of the portion of NOI between $14.4 million and $18.3 million, and 50% of the
portion of NOI over $18.3 million. TRG estimates this additional rent, which
will be recognized as other operating expense, will approximate $2 million to $3
million annually in the three years subsequent to the opening of the Center.
MacArthur Center, a new Center being developed by TRG in Norfolk, Virginia, is
expected to open in the fall of 1998. The Center is expected to total 1.1
million square feet and will initially be anchored by Nordstrom and Dillard's.
This Center will be owned by a joint venture in which TRG has a 70% interest.

TRG has entered into agreements with The Mills Corporation, Simon Property
Group and Grossman Company Properties to develop, own and operate Arizona Mills,
an enclosed value super-regional mall in Tempe, Arizona, which broke ground in
August 1996. TRG has a 35% ownership interest in the venture. The 1.2 million
square foot value-oriented mall is expected to open in the fall of 1997.
TRG's share of costs for development and expansion projects scheduled to be
completed in 1997 and 1998 is anticipated to be as much as $139 million in 1997
and $51 million in 1998.
In April 1996, Federated Department Stores, Inc. closed the Emporium store at
Hilltop. TRG is considering alternatives for the vacant anchor space.
Negotiations are in progress which may result in an amount of TRG capital
spending at Hilltop which cannot be presently determined.
TRG's estimates regarding capital expenditures presented above are
forward-looking statements and certain significant factors could cause the
actual results to differ materially, including but not limited to: 1) actual
results of negotiations with anchors, tenants and contractors; 2) changes in the
scope of projects; 3) cost overruns; 4) timing of expenditures; and 5) actual
time to complete projects.
Capital Resources
TRG believes that its net cash provided by operating activities, together with
distributions from the Joint Ventures, the unutilized portion of its credit
facilities and its ability to generate cash from issuance of medium-term notes
under TRG's shelf registration statement, other securities offerings or mortgage
financings, assure adequate liquidity to conduct its operations in accordance
with its distribution and financing policies.
The financing of TRG is intended to maintain an investment grade credit rating
for TRG and (i) minimize, to the extent practical, secured indebtedness
encumbering TRG's wholly owned properties, (ii) mitigate TRG's exposure to
increases in floating interest rates, (iii) assure that the amount of debt
maturing in any future year will not pose a significant refinancing risk, (iv)
provide for additional capital and liquidity resources, and (v) maintain average
maturities for TRG's debt obligations of between five and ten years. TRG's
intent to continue to minimize secured indebtedness is dependent on actions
taken by credit rating agencies and market conditions.
TRG expects to finance its capital requirements, including development,
expansions and working capital, with available cash, borrowings under its lines
of credit and cash from future securities offerings under its medium-term note
program, other securities offerings, or mortgage financings. TRG's acquisition
activities are discretionary in nature, and will only be undertaken by TRG after
procuring adequate financing on terms that are consistent with TRG's financing
policies. TRG's Joint Ventures expect to finance development and expansion
spending with secured debt to the extent it is available.
Cash Tender Agreement
A. Alfred Taubman and the GM Trusts each have the annual right to tender to
the Managing General Partner Units of Partnership Interest in TRG (provided that
the aggregate value is at least $50 million) and cause the Managing General
Partner to purchase the tendered interests at a purchase price based on a market
valuation of the Managing General Partner on the trading date immediately
preceding the date of the tender (the Cash Tender Agreement). At A. Alfred
Taubman's election, his family, and Robert C. Larson and his family may
participate in tenders. The GM Trusts will be entitled to receive from TRG an
amount (not to exceed $10.9 million in the aggregate over the term of the
Partnership) equal to 5.5% of the amounts that the Managing General Partner pays
to the GM Trusts under the Cash Tender Agreement.

Although certain partners in TRG have pledged, and other partners may pledge,
their Units of Partnership Interest, TRG is not aware of any present intention
of any partner to sell its interest in TRG.
