Item 5. Other Matters.

  On July 19, 1996, The Taubman Realty Group Limited Partnership (TRG) completed
transactions  that  resulted in it acquiring  the 75% interest in Fairlane  Town
Center (Fairlane)  previously held by a joint venture partner,  leaving TRG with
100%  ownership of the Center.  The 75%  interest was acquired  from Boston Safe
Deposit  and Trust  Company,  as trustee of the  Pacific  Telesis  Group  Master
Pension Trust ("PacTel"),  for $65.6 million.  TRG also assumed mortgage debt of
approximately  $26 million,  representing  PacTel's  beneficial  interest in the
$34.6 million mortgage encumbering the property.  TRG borrowed under an existing
revolving  credit  facility with Union Bank of Switzerland  (New York Branch) to
fund the cash portion of the purchase  price.  The  borrowing  was  subsequently
repaid with the $65.6  million  proceeds from the issuance of 3,096 TRG units of
partnership  interest to PacTel . Taubman  Centers,  Inc. (the "Company") is the
managing  general  partner  of TRG.  PacTel  is  unaffiliated  with  TRG and the
Company,  and the  transactions  were  negotiated at arm's length.  The units of
partnership  interest  issued to PacTel will be  exchangeable  (after one year),
under the Company's  on-going  exchange offer to certain of TRG's partners,  for
approximately 6.1 million shares of the Company's common stock. The common stock
had a closing price of $10.75 per share on July 17, 1996. PacTel is obligated to
hold the units of partnership interest for at least one year. TRG used unsecured
debt to fund the  repayment of  Fairlane's  9.73%  mortgage  and the  prepayment
penalty of approximately $1.2 million.

  Fairlane is a 1.5 million  square foot  regional  shopping  center  located in
Dearborn, Michigan. Fairlane opened in 1976 with JCPenney, Hudson's and Sears as
anchors.  Lord & Taylor and Saks Fifth  Avenue were added as anchors in 1978 and
1980, respectively.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Partners
The Taubman Realty Group Limited Partnership

We have  audited the  accompanying  historical  summaries of revenues and direct
operating  expenses of Fairlane  Town  Center  (Fairlane)  for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1995.  The  historical  summaries are the
responsibility  of Fairlane's  management.  Our  responsibility is to express an
opinion on these historical summaries based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the historical summaries are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the historical summaries.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating  the overall  presentation  of the historical
summaries.  We  believe  that our  audits  provide  a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

The accompanying  historical summaries are prepared for the purpose of complying
with the rules and  regulations of the Securities and Exchange  Commission  (for
inclusion in a Form 8-K of The Taubman Realty Group Limited  Partnership).  They
exclude material expenses,  as described in Note 1, and are not intended to be a
complete presentation of Fairlane's revenues and expenses.

In our  opinion,  such  historical  summaries  present  fairly,  in all material
respects, the revenues and direct operating expenses, as described in Note 1, of
Fairlane for each of the three years in the period ended  December 31, 1995,  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

FAIRLANE TOWN CENTER

HISTORICAL SUMMARIES OF REVENUES AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES
FOR EACH OF THE THREE YEARS IN THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995



1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     General - Fairlane Town Center  (Fairlane) is a regional shopping center in
     Dearborn,  Michigan, which is owned and operated by Fairlane Town Center (a
     partnership).  Shopping  center  space is leased  to  tenants  and  anchors
     pursuant to lease  agreements.  Leases  typically  provide  for  guaranteed
     minimum rent, percentage rent, and other charges to cover certain operating
     costs.

     Basis of  Presentation - Revenues and expenses are presented on the accrual
     basis of accounting.  The  accompanying  financial  summaries of historical
     revenues and direct  operating  expenses have been prepared for the purpose
     of complying with the rules and  regulations of the Securities and Exchange
     Commission  for  inclusion  in a report on Form 8-K of The  Taubman  Realty
     Group Limited  Partnership (TRG). The accompanying  financial summaries are
     not  representative  of the actual  operations for the periods presented as
     material  expenses  which  may not be  comparable  to the  proposed  future
     operations of Fairlane by TRG have been excluded. Excluded expenses consist
     of interest and  depreciation  and  amortization  not  directly  related to
     future  operations  of Fairlane.  Expenses  include the costs of management
     services provided by The Taubman Company Limited Partnership, approximately
     99% beneficially owned by TRG, to Fairlane.

     Revenue  Recognition  -  Shopping  Center  space  is  generally  leased  to
     specialty retail tenants under short and intermediate term leases which are
     accounted  for as operating  leases.  Minimum  rents are  recognized  on an
     accrual  basis as earned,  the  result of which does not differ  materially
     from a straight-line  basis.  Percentage rents are recognized on an accrual
     basis as earned.  Expense recoveries,  which include an administrative fee,
     are recognized as revenue in the period applicable costs are accrued.

  The accompanying  Pro Forma Condensed  Statement of Operations is presented as
if The Taubman Realty Group Limited Partnership's (TRG) acquisition of its joint
venture  partner's  75%  ownership of Fairlane  Town Center  (Fairlane)  and the
related issuance of additional units of partnership  interest,  which caused the
Company's  ownership of TRG to decrease from 35.10% to 33.47%, and various other
transactions of TRG,  occurred as of January 1, 1995. In  management's  opinion,
all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of these transactions have been
made.  This  unaudited  Pro  Forma  Condensed  Statement  of  Operations  is not
necessarily  indicative of what actual results of operations would have been had
these transactions occurred on January 1, 1995, nor does it purport to represent
the results of operations for future periods.

(A)   Represents TRG's  acquisition of its joint venture  partner's 75% interest
      in Fairlane Town Center and the subsequent  consolidation of Fairlane as a
      wholly owned  entity.  The  ownership  interest was acquired in connection
      with the issuance of 3,096 units of  partnership  interest  (exchangeable,
      after one year, for  approximately  6.1 million shares of Taubman Centers,
      Inc. common stock,  having a closing price of $10.75 per share on July 17,
      1996).  The  units  issued  represent   limited   partnership   interests.
      Transaction  costs  were  approximately  $0.8  million.  TRG also  assumed
      mortgage  debt of $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.  The
      acquisition  was  accounted  for at fair value.  Prior to the  acquisition
      date,  TRG's 25% interest in Fairlane was  accounted  for under the equity
      method.

(B)   Represents TRG's June 1996 acquisition of Paseo, located in Santa Barbara,

      million.  TRG also  assumed a $2.0 million  note  receivable  plus accrued
      interest  due  from  the  lessor  of one of  Paseo's  ground  leases.  The
      acquisition was accounted for at fair value.

                  THE TAUBMAN REALTY GROUP LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                        NOTES AND SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS
<FN>
<F1>
(A) Acquisition of Fairlane Town Center Interests


In July 1996,  The Taubman  Realty Group  Limited  Partnership  (TRG)  completed
transactions  that resulted in the  acquisition  of the 75% interest in Fairlane
Town  Center  (Fairlane),  previously  held  by  a  joint  venture  partner.  In
connection with the transactions, TRG issued 3,096 units of partnership interest
to the joint venture partner.  The units are  exchangeable,  after one year, for
approximately 6.1 million shares of Taubman Centers, Inc. common stock, having a
closing  price of $10.75 per share on July 17, 1996.  The former  joint  venture
partner is obligated to hold the  partnership  units for at least one year.  TRG
also assumed mortgage debt of $26 million, representing the former joint venture
partner's  beneficial  interest in the $34.6 million  mortgage  encumbering  the
property.  TRG used unsecured debt (average rates of 7.59% and 7.44% in 1995 and
1996,  respectively)  to  fund  the  repayment  of the  9.73%  mortgage  and the
prepayment  penalty  of  approximately  $1.2  million.  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.  The purchase  price has been  allocated  15% to land and 85% to
buildings and site improvements,  which will be depreciated over 40 years and 15
years,  respectively.  Pro forma revenues and expenses,  other than interest and
depreciation and amortization, represent the historical amounts of Fairlane.

Other Transactions
<F2>
(B) Acquisition of Paseo Nuevo

In June 1996, TRG acquired the Paseo Nuevo shopping center  (Paseo),  located in
Santa  Barbara,  California,  for $37 million.  TRG borrowed  under its existing
lines  of  credit   (average  rates  of  7.75%  and  7.03%  in  1995  and  1996,
respectively)  to fund the  acquisition.  The  Center  is owned  subject  to two
participating  ground leases with remaining terms of approximately 70 years. TRG
also assumed a $2.0 million  note  receivable  due from the lessor of one of the
ground leases.  The note accrues interest at an annual rate of 10%. The purchase
price has been allocated primarily to the buildings and site improvements, which
will be depreciated over 40 years and 15 years, respectively. Pro forma revenues
and expenses  other than interest,  depreciation  and management fee expense are
based on unaudited information provided by the seller of the property.
<F3>
(C) Medium-Term Note Program

In the second  quarter of 1995,  TRG initiated a medium-term  note program under
its $500 million shelf registration  statement and issued during the year $133.4
million of  unsecured  notes at a weighted  average rate of 7.45% and a weighted
average maturity of approximately seven years. The net proceeds 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,  bearing a 9.44% rate,  encumbering a wholly
owned  Center.  In July 1996,  TRG issued $154 million of  unsecured  notes ($70
million of 8% notes and $84 million of floating  rate  notes).  The net proceeds
were used to repay the Fairlane mortgage and the related prepayment penalty, and
to pay down borrowings under TRG's revolving credit  facilities.  Interest rates
used in  determining  the  adjustments  for debt issued and retired are based on
actual rates achieved,  including  where  applicable the impact of interest rate
hedging instruments, and are not necessarily indicative of the rates which could
have been achieved if the transactions had actually occurred as of the beginning
of the periods presented.
<F4>
(D) Disposal of Bellevue Center

In December 1995, the bank group holding the $99.5 million nonrecourse  mortgage
encumbering  Bellevue  Center acquired title to the Center through a nonjudicial
foreclosure sale. The mortgage, which had a below market interest rate of 5.91%,
matured on November 1, 1995. TRG's share of the ordinary gain on the disposition
of the  Center  was $5.0  million.  TRG  ceased  to  recognize  the  results  of
operations of Bellevue Associates  (Bellevue),  a 60% owned joint venture, as of
November 1, 1995. TRG's share of Bellevue's net loss from operations for the ten
months  ended  October  31,  1995 was $0.7  million.  The pro  forma  adjustment
represents the reversal of the $5.0 million gain and the $0.7 million loss from 
operations.

                  THE TAUBMAN REALTY GROUP LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                        NOTES AND SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS
<FN>
<F1>
(A) Acquisition of Fairlane Town Center Interests


In July 1996,  The Taubman  Realty Group  Limited  Partnership  (TRG)  completed
transactions  that resulted in the  acquisition  of the 75% interest in Fairlane
Town  Center  (Fairlane),  previously  held  by  a  joint  venture  partner.  In
connection with the transactions, TRG issued 3,096 units of partnership interest
to the joint venture partner.  The units are  exchangeable,  after one year, for
approximately 6.1 million shares of Taubman Centers, Inc. common stock, having a
closing  price of $10.75 per share on July 17, 1996.  The former  joint  venture
partner is obligated to hold the  partnership  units for at least one year.  TRG
also assumed mortgage debt of $26 million, representing the former joint venture
partner's  beneficial  interest in the $34.6 million  mortgage  encumbering  the
property.  TRG used unsecured debt (average rates of 7.59% and 7.44% in 1995 and
1996,  respectively)  to  fund  the  repayment  of the  9.73%  mortgage  and the
prepayment  penalty  of  approximately  $1.2  million.  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.  The purchase  price has been  allocated  15% to land and 85% to
buildings and site improvements,  which will be depreciated over 40 years and 15
years,  respectively.  Pro forma revenues and expenses,  other than interest and
depreciation and amortization, represent the historical amounts of Fairlane.

Other Transactions
<F2>
(B) Acquisition of Paseo Nuevo

In June 1996, TRG acquired the Paseo Nuevo shopping center  (Paseo),  located in
Santa  Barbara,  California,  for $37 million.  TRG borrowed  under its existing
lines  of  credit   (average  rates  of  7.75%  and  7.03%  in  1995  and  1996,
respectively)  to fund the  acquisition.  The  Center  is owned  subject  to two
participating  ground leases with remaining terms of approximately 70 years. TRG
also assumed a $2.0 million  note  receivable  due from the lessor of one of the
ground leases.  The note accrues interest at an annual rate of 10%. The purchase
price has been allocated primarily to the buildings and site improvements, which
will be depreciated over 40 years and 15 years, respectively. Pro forma revenues
and expenses  other than interest,  depreciation  and management fee expense are
based on unaudited information provided by the seller of the property.
<F3>
(C) Medium-Term Note Program

In the second  quarter of 1995,  TRG initiated a medium-term  note program under
its $500 million shelf registration  statement and issued during the year $133.4
million of  unsecured  notes at a weighted  average rate of 7.45% and a weighted
average maturity of approximately seven years. The net proceeds 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,  bearing a 9.44% rate,  encumbering a wholly
owned  Center.  In July 1996,  TRG issued $154 million of  unsecured  notes ($70
million of 8% notes and $84 million of floating  rate  notes).  The net proceeds
were used to repay the Fairlane mortgage and the related prepayment penalty, and
to pay down borrowings under TRG's revolving credit  facilities.  Interest rates
used in  determining  the  adjustments  for debt issued and retired are based on
actual rates achieved,  including  where  applicable the impact of interest rate
hedging instruments, and are not necessarily indicative of the rates which could
have been achieved if the transactions had actually occurred as of the beginning
of the periods presented.
