the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair
presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and
cash flows have been included. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

2. Secured Debt

  On January 16, 2001, the Company repaid in full its 7 1/2% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures. The outstanding balance of $128.5 million was repaid
with proceeds from the Company's Secured Credit Facility.

3. Property Disposition

  In March 2001, the Company sold three community shopping centers and one
single tenant facility for a combined sales price of $38.4 million. The assets
sold included Westgate North Shopping Center, a 104,000 square foot shopping
center located in Tacoma, Washington, Center of El Centro, a 179,000 square
foot shopping center located in El Centro, California, Madera Marketplace a
169,000 square foot shopping center located in Madera, California, and K-Mart
Madera, a 86,000 square foot single tenant facility, located in Madera,
California. After repayment of debt of $16.9 million, net proceeds of $17
million were used to reduce the outstanding balance on the Company's Credit
Facility. During the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a $4.8
million impairment of assets held for sale, a result of the anticipated sales
of the Westgate North Shopping Center and the Center of El Centro. After
consideration of the fourth quarter impairment loss adjustment, the Company
recorded a gain on the sale of assets of $0.9 million during 2001. In
addition, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $0.8 million for the
early extinguishment of debt related to the payment of certain prepayment
penalties.

4. Per Share Data

  In accordance with SFAS No. 128 (Earnings Per Share), basic earnings per
share ("EPS") is based on the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the period and diluted EPS is based on the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding combined with the
incremental weighted average shares that would have been outstanding if all
dilutive potential common shares had been issued as of the beginning of the
period. The weighted average number of shares of common stock used in the
computation of basic and diluted EPS for the three-month periods ended March
31, 2001 and 2000 were 27,024,000 and 26,648,000, respectively. Units held by
limited partners in the Operating Partnership may be exchanged for shares of
common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis, in certain circumstances,
and therefore are not dilutive.

  On April 20, 2001, the Company paid a $0.04 dividend per share to
shareholders of record as of April 2, 2000.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Overview

  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

Forward Looking Statements

  The following discussion of financial condition and Results of Operations
contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to risk and
uncertainty. In particular, statements pertaining to our capital resources,
portfolio performance and results of operations contain forward-looking
statements. Likewise, all our statements regarding anticipated growth in our
funds from operations and anticipated market conditions, demographics and
results of operations are forward-looking statements. Forward looking
statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on
them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on
assumptions, data or methods which may be incorrect or imprecise and we may
not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and
events described will happen as described, or that they will happen at all.
You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking
terminology such as "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "should," "would,"
"seeks," "approximately," "intends," "plans," "pro forma," "estimates" or
"anticipates" or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or
phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of
strategy, plans or intentions. The following factors, among others, could
cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set
forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

  . defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants;

  . increased interest rates and operations costs;

  . our failure to obtain necessary outside financing;

  . difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing
  acquisitions;

  . difficulties in disposing of properties;

  . our failure to successfully operate acquired properties and operations;

  . our failure to successfully develop property;

  . our failure to maintain our status as a REIT;

  . environmental uncertainties and risks related to natural disasters;

  . financial market fluctuations; and

  . changes in real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax
  rates.

  Our success also depends upon economic trends generally, as well as income
tax laws, governmental regulation, legislation, population changes and other
matters. We caution you, however, that any list of risk factors may not be
exhaustive.

Results of Operations

 Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2001 to the three months ended
March 31, 2000.

  Rental revenues decreased by $7.5 million to $17.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 from $25.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000. Of the decrease, $7.2 million is due to the sale of 15
community shopping centers, three single tenant facilities, and a freestanding
theater, for a total of 19 properties sold subsequent to March 31, 2000. In
addition, revenues decreased at two of our community centers that are being
prepared for redevelopment, Frontier Village in Lake Stevens, Washington and
El Camino North Shopping Center in Oceanside, California.

                                       7


  Property operating costs decreased by $1.6 million to $8.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 from $10.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000. Approximately $1.4 million of the decrease is a result
of decreased property taxes and operating costs from the sale of the
properties previously discussed. The remaining decrease is primarily due to a
decrease in property operating costs at the remaining assets in the portfolio.

  Interest expense decreased $5.0 million to $9.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 from $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31,
2000. The decrease is the result of a $106.6 million reduction in the average
mortgage debt outstanding from $370.1 million in 2000 to $263.5 million in
2001, and a reduction of $7.7 million in the average outstanding balance on
the credit facility from $166.9 in 2000 to $159.2 in 2001. In addition, the
weighted-average interest rate decreased from 8.2% to 7.8% from the three
months ended March 31, 2000 to the three months ended March 31, 2001. The
reduction in the average debt outstanding is due to loan pay downs from asset
sale proceeds. Reduction in the weighted-average interest rate was a result of
the pay down of higher fixed rate debt through property sales, refinancing of
higher fixed rate mortgage debt with lower variable rate debt and decreasing
interest rates.

  General and Administrative costs increased slightly by $0.1 million from
$1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $1.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2001.

  Net income decreased by $1.9 million from $2.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 to $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31,
2001. Included in net income for 2001 was a $0.9 million net gain on the sale
of assets and a $0.8 million charge for an extraordinary loss on early
extinguishment of debt as previously discussed. Included in net income for
2000 was a $2.6 million gain on the sale of a single tenant facility in
Glendora, California. In addition, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss
of $1.9 million due to the early extinguishment of debt associated with the
sale. The decrease in net income is due to the reduced contribution to income
from the sale of 19 assets subsequent to March 31, 2000 combined with a
smaller net gain on the sale of assets in 2001.

 Funds from Operations

  The Company considers funds from operations ("FFO") to be an alternative
measure of the performance of an equity REIT since such measure does not
recognize depreciation and amortization expenses as operating expenses. FFO is
defined, as outlined in the October 1999 White Paper, by the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as net income plus
depreciation and amortization of real estate, less gains or losses on sales of
properties. Additionally, the definition also permits FFO to be adjusted for
significant non-recurring items. Funds from operations do not represent cash
flows from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles
and should not be considered as an alternative to those indicators in
evaluating the Company's operating performance or liquidity. Further, the
methodology for computing FFO utilized by the Company may differ from that
utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly may not be comparable to such
other REITs.

  The Company computes FFO on both a basic and diluted basis. The diluted
basis assumes the conversion of the convertible and exchangeable debentures
into shares of common stock. The following table summarizes the Company's
computation of FFO and provides certain additional disclosures (dollars in
thousands):

                                                          ========  =========


  Funds from operations, on a basic basis, decreased to $5.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to $8.9 million for the same
period in 2000. The decrease in funds from operations is principally a result
of the reasons stated above under Results of Operations.

  Funds from operations do not represent cash flows from operations as defined
by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and should not be considered as an
alternative to net income as an indicator of Center Trust's operating
performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

Liquidity Sources and Requirements

  The primary focus of the Company during the first quarter of 2001 was to
repay the 7 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures and to continue to
strengthen its financial stability and flexibility. Through a series of asset
sales and debt refinancing transactions, as well as a modification of the
Company's Credit Facility, the Company was able to successfully repay its 7
1/2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures which matured on January 15, 2001.
Further, with the sale of the three community shopping centers and a single
tenant facility in 2001, the Company has reduced its outstanding balance on
its Secured Credit Facility to a level below 70% loan to value, which reduced
the interest rate paid on the outstanding balance to 250 basis points over
LIBOR. This combined with a reduction of the dividend, discussed below, should
provide the Company with the anticipated cash and financial flexibility
required to meet its capital requirements in the near future.

                                       9


  During the first quarter of 2001, the maximum availability under the Credit
Facility was reduced from $193 million to $170 million as a result of the sale
of assets which were previously included as collateral within the pool of
assets securing the Credit Facility.

  In March, 2001, the Company announced that it would pay a dividend for the
first quarter of 2001, of $0.04 per share, which equates to an annual dividend
of $0.16 per share and approximates the Company's estimate of the minimum
required distribution to maintain its REIT status. This compares to the annual
dividend of $0.84 paid in the year 2000. The dividend reduction was
necessitated by the contraction in the Company's asset base as a result of the
sale of over $270 million in assets during 2000. The dividend reduction should
allow the Company to retain capital, reduce its leverage level, and provide
financial flexibility to appropriately evaluate value-added redevelopment
opportunities within its portfolio, while maintaining its REIT status.

  Also in March 2001, the Company sold three community shopping centers and
one single tenant facility for a combined sales price of $38.4 million. The
assets sold included Westgate North Shopping Center, a 104,000 square foot
shopping center located in Tacoma, Washington, Center of El Centro, a 179,000
square foot shopping center located in El Centro, California, Madera
Marketplace a 169,000 square foot shopping center located in Madera,
California, and K-Mart Madera, a 86,000 square foot single tenant facility,
located in Madera, California. After repayment of debt of $16.9 million, net
proceeds of $17 million were used to reduce the outstanding balance on the
Company's Credit Facility. During the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company
recorded a $4.8 million impairment of assets held for sale, a result of the
anticipated sales of the Westgate North Shopping Center and the Center of El
Centro. After consideration of the fourth quarter impairment loss adjustment,
the Company recorded a gain on the sale of assets of $0.9 million during 2001.
In addition, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $0.8 million for
the early extinguishment of debt related to the payment of certain prepayment
penalties.

  Mortgage loans maturing of $8.1 million in 2001, $199.9 million in 2002, as
well as significant amounts due from 2003 to 2015, may require refinancing.
Loans maturing in 2002 include the $158 million outstanding on the Company's
Secured Credit Facility which is due on March 31, 2002. The Company believes,
based on the collateral available within the Properties, that it will be able
to effect such refinancings.

Cash Flows

  Net cash provided by operating activity increased by $8.0 million from a use
of cash of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to cash
provided by operations of $5.3 million for the same period of 2001. The
increase resulted primarily from lower working capital requirements in the
period ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period of March 31, 2000.
Results for the quarter ended 2000 includes a $4.4 million refund of a letter
of credit security deposit recorded to accounts receivable.

  Net cash from investment activities was $30.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000. The increase was the result of proceeds received from the sale
of three community shopping centers and a single tenant facility in 2001
compared the sale of one single tenant facility in 2000. Financing activities
used cash of $38.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as
compared to cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 of $19.4 million. The change was primarily the result of the
repayment on the Company's Secured Credit Facility in 2001 compared to net
borrowing on the Secured Credit Facility in 2000.

                                      10


Inflation

  Center Trust's long term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the
adverse impact of inflation on its results from operations. Such provisions
include clauses enabling Center Trust to receive percentage rents based upon
tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or, in
certain cases, escalation clauses are often related to increases in the CPI or
similar inflation indices. In addition, many of Center Trust's leases are for
terms of less than ten years, which permits Center Trust to seek to increase
rents upon re-rental at market rates if rents are below then existing market
rates. Many of Center Trust's leases require the tenants to pay a pro rata
share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate
taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing Center Trust's exposure to
increases in costs and operating expenses from inflation.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

  The Company is exposed to market risk primarily due to fluctuations in
interest rates. Specifically, the risk resulting from increasing LIBOR-based
interest rates as interest on the Company's Credit Facility of $158.1 million
as well as mortgage notes of $108.5 million are tied to various LIBOR interest
rates. The Credit Facility matures March 31, 2002. The Company is also subject
to market risk resulting from fluctuations in the general level of U.S.
interest rates as $112.0 million of the Company's debt is based on a weighted
average fixed rate of 8.8%. As a result, the Company will be obligated to pay
contractually agreed upon rates of interest on its fixed rate debt, unless
management refinances its existing fixed rate debt and potentially incurs
substantial prepayment penalties. The $36 million of tax-exempt certificates
of participation are tied to a general index of AAA-rated tax-free municipal
bonds.

  The following table provides information about the Company's interest rate
sensitive financial instruments, including, amounts due at maturity, principal
amortization, weighted average interest rates and fair market values as of
March 31, 2001 (dollars in thousands):
