The Price REIT, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1996 1.Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization The Price REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation formed in 1991, is a self- administered and self-managed real estate investment trust which is focused on the acquisition, development, redevelopment and management of retail shopping center properties. Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Price REIT, Inc.; Price/Texas, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary; Price/Baybrook, Ltd., a limited partnership between The Price REIT, Inc. and Price/Texas, Inc.; and Smithtown Venture Limited Liability Company ("Smithtown Venture"), an approximate 80% owned joint venture (collectively referred to as the "Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company acquired its ownership in Smithtown Venture in October 1996. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is reasonably possible that actual results could differ from these estimates. Rental Property and Depreciation Rental property is recorded at cost. At such times where events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of property may be impaired, the Company makes an assessment of its recoverability by estimating the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate future cash flows, the Company would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the property. The Price REIT, Inc. 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Rental Property and Depreciation (continue) Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows: Furniture and fixtures 7 years Land improvements 15 years Buildings 25 years Investments The equity method of accounting is used for investments in joint ventures in which the Company has a financial interest and exercises significant influence. Under this method, the Company recognizes its share of the net earnings or losses of the joint ventures as earned or incurred and reduces or increases the carrying value of the investments by the amount of distributions received or contributions paid. The cost method of accounting is used for the Company's investment in K&F Development Company ("Development Company"). Under this method, the Company recognizes as income, dividends received that are distributed from net accumulated earnings of the Development Company. Cash Equivalents The Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company has no requirements for compensating balances. The Company maintains its operating cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company also maintains a money market mutual fund which invests primarily in U.S. Treasury obligations. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. Deferred Loan Fees Deferred loan fees are amortized, using the straight-line method, over the term of the related loan and are reflected as a component of interest expense. The Price REIT, Inc. 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Financial Instruments Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments, as well as the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair values. The Company believes that the carrying values reflected in the balance sheets at December 31, 1996 and 1995 reasonably approximate the fair values for cash and cash equivalents, receivables and all liabilities. In making such assessments, the Company used estimates and market rates for similar instruments. Minority Interest Minority interest represents the approximate 20% ownership of Smithtown Venture not owned by the Company. Revenue Recognition Rental income is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. Deferred rent receivable represents the excess of rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over cash received under the applicable lease provisions. Income Taxes The Company has met all conditions necessary to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify as a real estate investment trust, the Company is required to pay dividends of at least 95% of its ordinary taxable income each year and meet certain other criteria. As a qualifying real estate investment trust, the Company will not be taxed on income distributed to its shareholders. Since the Company distributed all of its taxable income to stockholders for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the accompanying financial statements contain no provision for income taxes. Taxable income differs from net income for financial reporting purposes principally due to differences in the timing of recognition of depreciation expense and rental revenue. The reported amounts of the Company's net assets as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 were less than its tax basis for Federal tax purposes by approximately $272,000 and $451,000, respectively. The Price REIT, Inc. 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Net Income Per Share Net income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, using the treasury stock method, is not materially dilutive for the earnings per share computation. Reclassification Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. 2.Rental Property Rental property as of December 31, 1996, geographically by state, is as follows: Total California Arizona Connecticut --------------------------------------------- (In Thousands) Land $ 136,148 $ 63,754 $ 21,662 $ 7,713 Land improvements 40,907 15,578 6,264 4,201 Buildings 245,038 111,737 31,543 15,952 --------------------------------------------- 422,093 191,069 59,469 27,866 Accumulated depreciation (41,611) (21,612) (5,951) (4,705) --------------------------------------------- $ 380,482 $ 169,457 $ 53,518 $ 23,161 ============================================= Net rentable square feet 4,858 2,022 855 332 ============================================= Maryland New York Virginia Texas Oklahoma ------------------------------------------------- Land $ 2,582 $ 10,321 $ 12,575 $ 13,174 $ 4,367 Land improvements 3,409 2,270 9,185 - - Buildings 6,858 22,637 17,063 26,814 12,434 ------------------------------------------------- 12,849 35,228 38,823 39,988 16,801 Accumulated depreciation (1,607) (2,394) (4,366) (914) (62) ------------------------------------------------- $ 11,242 $ 32,834 $ 34,457 $ 39,074 $ 16,739 ================================================= Net rentable square feet 210 246 323 636 234 ================================================= The Price REIT, Inc. 2.

The Company's shopping centers are generally leased under noncancellable operating leases with remaining terms ranging from 1 to 25 years. Certain of the leases contain up to seven five-year renewal options. The leases generally contain provisions for increases in rents based on the Consumer Price Index, or a predetermined fixed amount, and require the tenant to reimburse the Company for substantially all operating expenses of the properties. Certain of the leases provide for additional rental payments based on gross tenant revenues in excess of specified amounts. During the year ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company earned additional rents of approximately $418,000, $372,000 and $225,000, respectively, relating to these leases.

During 1995, the Company began redevelopment and expansion activities to increase the center by approximately 85,000 square feet of new space. Smithtown Venture The Company acquired its interest in Smithtown Venture from Development Company for $250,000. Prior to its ownership acquisition, the Company had advanced $4,550,000 to Smithtown Venture for development of a shopping center in Long Island, New York. Condensed financial information of Smithtown Venture, upon acquisition by the Company on October 2, 1996, is as follows (in thousands): Rental property under development $6,059 -------- Company advances $4,550 Members' capital 1,509 ------ $6,059 ====== In connection with the development of the shopping center, Smithtown Venture entered into a 49-year ground lease, with four ten-year renewal options, which provides for monthly payments.

The general partnership interest was acquired from a partnership in which Price/Costco and Messrs. Kornwasser and Friedman were the general partners. The joint venture owns and operates a 236,000 square foot power center in Tempe, Arizona, with an additional 149,000 square feet of adjacent retail space, constructed and completed in 1995. During the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for the period from April 15, 1994 through December 31, 1994, the Company contributed cash of approximately $271,000, $1,186,000 and $4,449,000, respectively, to the joint venture, to fund construction costs and acquisitions. In accordance with the original purchase agreement, certain development contingencies required Price/Costco to advance the Company approximately $130,000 during 1994 and the Company was required to make net payments to Price/Costco totaling $791,000 during 1995 resulting in a net additional cost to the Company of $661,000. As a result of these payments, the recorded amount of the Company's investment in the joint venture was $661,000 greater than the amount of its capital account as reflected in the joint venture's accounting records. The Company is amortizing the excess cost over 15 years. In December 1995, the joint venture purchased two properties located in the Phoenix metropolitan area. One of the properties is located in Glendale, Arizona, which was purchased for $6,724,000, and consists of an existing 85,000 square foot shopping center with potential to expand by approximately 20,000 additional square feet. The other property is located in Goodyear, Arizona, which was purchased for $4,232,000, and contains approximately 40 acres of vacant land for future development. In connection with these purchases, the joint venture obtained a $10,500,000 loan which is due in December 1997. Hayden Plaza North Associates In April 1996, the Company formed a partnership with Kimco Realty Corporation ("Kimco"), a retail real estate investment trust, to purchase a 191,000 square foot shopping center in Phoenix, Arizona at a cost of $3,490,000. The Company holds a 50% general partnership interest. The acquisition was completed in May 1996.

Notes Payable (continued) Unsecured Line of Credit In September 1993, the Company obtained a revolving credit facility from a group of banks for up to $75 million in unsecured advances through September 1996.

In October 1996, the credit facility was further modified to provide for an interest rate reduction. Advances under the credit facility, at the Company's option, bear interest at either LIBOR plus 1.25% or a Base Rate, as defined, plus .50%. The effective rate of interest as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 was 6.63% and 7.05%, respectively. Interest on the out-standing balance is payable no less than quarterly. The agreement requires the Company to meet various financial covenant ratios, including minimum net operating income and net worth levels, as defined, and the Company is precluded from paying dividends in excess of 95% of its annual net income plus depreciation.
