                               CPG Partners, L.P.
              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

CPG Partners, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership" or "OP"), which commenced
operations on November 2, 1993, is engaged in the development, ownership,
acquisition and operation of manufacturers' outlet centers. As of March 31,
2001, the OP had interests in 27 properties in fifteen states and Japan (the
"Properties") that contained approximately 8.2 million square feet of gross
leasable area ("GLA"). The OP's existing portfolio includes properties in or
near New York City, Los Angeles, Boston, Washington, D.C., San Francisco,
Sacramento, Cleveland, Atlanta, Dallas, Portland (Oregon), Tokyo and Osaka,
Japan, or at or near tourist destinations including Palm Springs, the Napa
Valley, Orlando, and Honolulu. The OP also has a number of properties under
development and expansion. The sole general partner in the OP, Chelsea Property
Group, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-administered and self-managed Real Estate
Investment Trust.

The OP has developed a new technology-based e-commerce platform through an
unconsolidated subsidiary, Chelsea Interactive, Inc. ("Chelsea Interactive").
This platform provides fashion and other retail brands with their own customized
direct-to-the-consumer Internet online stores, incorporating e-commerce design,
development, fulfillment and customer services.

Common ownership of the OP as of March 31, 2001 was approximately as follows:

      General Partner                  83.7%             16,177,000  units
      Limited Partners                 16.3%              3,154,000  units
                                     -----------     ---------------
                  Total               100.0%             19,331,000

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2001
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2001. The balance sheet at December 31, 2000 has been
derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. These financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2000.

The OP is principally engaged in the development, ownership, acquisition and
operation of manufacturers' outlet centers and has one reportable segment,
retail real estate. The OP evaluates real estate performance and allocates
resources based on net operating income and weighted average sales per square
foot. The primary sources of revenue are generated from tenant base rents,
percentage rents and reimbursement revenue. Operating expenses primarily consist
of common area maintenance, real estate taxes and promotional expenses. The
retail real estate business segment meets the quantitative threshold for
determining reportable segments.

Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to current year presentation.

2. Accounting Changes: Standards Implemented and Transition Adjustment

On January 1, 2001, the OP adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for
Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133, as
amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments. Specifically SFAS No. 133 requires an entity to recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial
position and to measure those instruments at fair value. Additionally, the fair
value adjustments will affect either shareholders' equity or net income
depending on whether the derivative instrument qualifies as a hedge for
accounting purposes and, if so, the nature of the hedging activity.

The OP uses derivative instruments to protect against the risk of adverse price
or interest rate movements on the value of certain firm commitments and
liabilities or on future cash flows. The FASB continues to issue interpretive
guidance that could require changes in the OP's application of the standard and
adjustments to the transition amounts. SFAS No. 133 may increase or decrease
reported net income and stockholders' equity prospectively, depending on future
levels of interest rates and other variables affecting the fair values of
derivative instruments and hedged items, but will have no effect on cash flows.

As of January 1, 2001, the adoption of the new standard results in derivative
instruments reported on the balance sheet as assets of $33,000 and an adjustment
of $33,000 to accumulated other comprehensive loss.

3. Investments in Affiliates

The OP holds interests in several domestic and international joint ventures.
Non-controlling investments are accounted for under the equity method. Equity in
earnings or losses of these affiliates and related management advisory, license
and guarantee fees earned are included in income from unconsolidated investments
and loss from Chelsea Interactive in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the OP accrued $1.1 million in
distributions and recognized $1.5 million in equity in earnings and fees from
its 49% investment in F/C Acquisition Holdings, LLC.

During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the OP recognized $0.6 million in
equity in earnings and fees from its 40% joint venture investment in Chelsea
Japan Co., Ltd. ("Chelsea Japan"). The Company also recorded a $0.1 million
currency translation reserve to accumulated other comprehensive loss.

During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the OP accrued or received $4.9
million in distributions and recognized $1.1 million in equity in earnings and
fees from its 50% joint venture investment in Orlando Premium Outlets ("OPO").

During the three months ended March 31, 2001 the OP recognized $55,000 in fees
from its minority interests in outlet centers and development projects in Europe
operated by Value Retail PLC. As of March 31, 2001, the OP had provided limited
debt service guarantees of approximately $12.5 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the OP recognized a $1.2 million
loss in its technology-based e-commerce platform though Chelsea Interactive. As
of March 31, 2001, the OP had invested $32.2 million in Chelsea Interactive.

4. Non-Compete Agreement

The OP recognized income from its non-compete agreement with The Mills
Corporation of $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and
2000. Such amounts are included in other income.

5. Debt

The OP has a $160 million senior unsecured bank line of credit (the "Senior
Credit Facility"). The Senior Credit Facility had an initial expiration date of
March 30, 2001 and was extended through March 30, 2003. The OP has an annual
right to request a one-year extension of the Senior Credit Facility which may be
granted at the option of the lenders. Lenders representing $145 million are
expected to extend the Facility until March 30, 2004. The Senior Credit Facility
bears interest on the outstanding balance, payable monthly, at a rate equal to
the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.05% (6.12% at March 31, 2001)
or the prime rate, at the OP's option. The LIBOR rate spread ranges from 0.85%
to 1.25% depending on the OP's Senior Debt rating. A fee on the unused portion
of the Senior Credit Facility is payable quarterly at rates ranging from 0.15%
to 0.25% depending on the balance outstanding. At March 31, 2001, the entire
$160 million was available under the Senior Credit Facility.

The OP also has a $5 million term loan (the "Term Loan") which carries the same
interest rate and maturity as the Senior Credit Facility.

In April 2000, Chelsea Financing entered into a $70 million mortgage loan
secured by four of its properties that matures April 2010 and bears interest at
a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.50% (6.78% at March 31, 2001) or prime rate plus
1.00%. The mortgage requires quarterly principal amortization of $0.3 million
through April 2005 and $0.5 million thereafter. Net proceeds were used to retire
the $60 million term loan due April 30, 2000 and to repay borrowings under the
OP's Senior Credit Facility. At March 31, 2001, $69.0 million was outstanding.

In December 2000 Chelsea Financing entered into an interest rate swap agreement
effective January 2, 2001 with a financial institution for a notional amount of
$69.3 million to hedge against unfavorable fluctuations in the LIBOR rates of
its secured mortgage loan facility. The hedge effectively produces a fixed
interest rate of 7.2625% on the notional amount until January 1, 2006. As of
March 31, 2001, the OP recognized a net interest credit of $9,000 which is
included in interest expense.

In February 2000, Chelsea Allen entered into a $40.0 million construction loan
facility used to fund phase one of Allen Premium Outlets. The loan matures
February 2003, bears interest on the outstanding balance at a rate equal to
LIBOR plus 1.625% (6.53% at March 31, 2001) and is secured by the center and
guaranteed by the Company and the OP. At March 31, 2001, $26.3 million was
outstanding.

A summary of the terms of the Unsecured Notes outstanding as of March 31, 2001
and December 31, 2000 is as follows:



                                                     March 31,    December 31,     Effective

(1) Including discount on the notes


Interest and loan costs of approximately $0.6 million and $1.1 million were
capitalized as development costs during the three months ended March 31, 2001
and 2000, respectively.

6. Financial Instruments: Derivatives and Hedging

In the normal course of business, the OP is exposed to the effect of interest
rate and foreign currency changes. The OP limits these risks by following
established risk management policies and procedures including the use of
derivatives. For interest rate exposures, derivatives are used primarily to
align rate movements between interest rates associated with the OP's leasing
income and other financial assets with interest rates on related debt, and
manage the cost of borrowing obligations. For foreign currency exposures,
derivatives are used primarily to align movements between currency rates to
protect forecasted returns of fees to the U.S.

The OP has a policy of only entering into contracts with major financial
institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors. When viewed in
conjunction with the underlying and offsetting exposure that the derivatives are
designed to hedge, the OP has not sustained a material loss from those
instruments nor does it anticipate any material adverse effect on its net income
or financial position in the future from the use of derivatives.

To manage interest rate and foreign currency risk, the OP may employ options,
forwards, interest rate swaps, caps and floors or a combination thereof
depending on the underlying exposure. The OP undertakes a variety of borrowings,
including lines of credit, medium- and long-term financings. To reduce
overall interest cost, the OP may use interest rate instruments, typically
interest rate swaps, to convert some or all of its variable rate debt to fixed
rate debt, or some or all of its fixed-rate debt to variable rate. Interest rate
differentials that arise under these swap contracts are recognized in interest
expense over the life of the contracts.

The OP employs interest rate and foreign currency forwards or purchased options
to hedge qualifying anticipated transactions. Gains and losses are deferred and
recognized in net income in the same period that the underlying hedged
transaction affects net income, expires or is otherwise terminated or assigned.
As of March 31, 2001, there was $1.6 million in deferred gains and losses
included in other comprehensive loss.

The following table summarizes the notional values and fair values of the OP's
derivative financial instruments. The notional value at March 31 provides an
indication of the extent of the OP's involvement in these instruments at that
time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.



                                At March 31, 2001

         Hedge Type                 Notional Value      Rate       Maturity   Fair Value
         ----------                 --------------     -----       --------   ----------
                                                                  
1) Swap, Cash Flow                     $69.3 mil       5.7625%       1/1/06   ($1.6 mil)
2) Yen Forward, Cash Flow              $ 1.4 mil     121.45         6/21/01    $0.04 mil


On March 31, 2001, the derivative instruments were reported at their fair values
as Other Assets of $42,000 and Other Liabilities of $1.6 million, respectively.

Interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges hedge the future
cash outflows on debt. Interest rate swaps that convert variable payments to
fixed payments, interest rate caps, floors, collars, and forwards are cash flow
hedges. Foreign currency forwards that are designated as cash flow hedges also
hedge future cash flows on forecasted transactions. The unrealized gains/losses
in the fair value of these hedges are reported on the balance sheet with a
corresponding adjustment to either accumulated other comprehensive loss or in
earnings--depending on the type of hedging relationship. If the hedging
transaction is a cash flow hedge, then the offsetting gains and losses are
reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Over time, the unrealized
gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be
reclassified to earnings. This reclassification is consistent with other hedged
items that are also recognized into earnings. Within the next twelve months, the
OP expects to reclassify to earnings approximately $0.3 million of the current
balance held in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The OP hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for
forecasted transactions over a maximum period of 12 months. During the forecast
period, unrealized gains and losses in the hedging instrument will be reported
in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Once the hedged transaction takes
place, the hedge gains and losses will be reported in earnings during the same
period in which the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

7. Partners' Capital

Following is a statement of partners' capital for the three months ended March
31, 2001 (in thousands):

(1) At March 31, 2001, accumulated other comprehensive loss included $0.4
    million related to foreign currency translation and $1.6 million related to
    interest rate swap.


8. Distributions

On March 15, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a $0.78 per
unit distribution to unitholders of record on March 31, 2001. The distribution,
totaling $15.1 million, was paid on April 16, 2001.

9. Income Taxes

No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements since such taxes, if any, are the responsibility of the
individual partners.


10. Net Income Per Common Partnership Unit

Net income per partnership unit is determined by allocating net income to the
general partner (including the general partner's preferred unit allocation) and
the limited partners based on their weighted average partnership units
outstanding during the respective periods presented.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

In February 1999, OPO entered into an $82.5 million construction loan that
matures March 2002 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.30% (6.23% at March 31,
2001). On October 2000 the loan was amended to reduce the lender's commitment to
$66.0 million. The loan is 10% guaranteed by each of the OP and Simon and as of
March 31, 2001, $58.2 million was outstanding. Changes in debt service coverage
ratio provide for guarantees ranging from 10% to 25% per guarantor and a LIBOR
interest rate spread ranging from 130 to 150 basis points.

In October 1999, an equity investee of the OP entered into a 4 billion yen
(approximately US $31.7 million) line of credit guaranteed by the Company and OP
to fund its share of Chelsea Japan's construction costs. The line of credit
bears interest at yen LIBOR plus 1.35% (1.54% at March 31, 2001) and matures
April 2002. At March 31, 2001, 1.32 billion yen (approximately US $10.4 million)
was outstanding under the loan. In March 2000, Chelsea Japan entered into a 3.8
billion yen (approximately US $30.1 million) loan with a bank to fund
construction costs. As of March 31, 2001, the entire facility was outstanding
and bears interest at 2.20%. The loan is secured by the two operating properties
and is 40% guaranteed by the OP.

Other assets includes $3.5 million at March 31, 2000, and accrued expenses and
other liabilities include $14.4 million and $17.6 million in 2001 and 2000,
respectively, related to a deferred unit incentive program with certain key
officers to be paid in 2002. Also included is $2.8 million in 2001 and $7.4
million in 2000 related to the present value of future payments to be received
from The Mills Corporation under the Houston non-compete agreement.

The OP is not presently involved in any material litigation nor, to its
knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the OP or its
properties, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of
business. Management believes the costs, if any, incurred by the OP related to
any of this litigation will not materially affect the financial position,
operating results or liquidity of the OP.

12. Related Party Information

In January 2001 the OP received a $1.2 million payoff for one of the loans
outstanding to unit holders. In March 2001, the OP received a $0.2 million pay
down on the remaining loan. At March 31, 2001 and 2000, $0.8 million and $2.2
million was due from the unit holders, respectively.

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
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. These
financial statements include all adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary to reflect a fair statement of results for the interim
periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

General Overview

From April 1, 2000 to March 31, 2001, the OP grew by increasing rents at its
operating centers, opening four new centers, expanding four centers and
acquiring four centers. Increasing rents at operating centers resulted in base
rent growth of $0.5 million. The opening of one wholly-owned new center and
expansion of four wholly-owned centers increased base rent by $0.8 million and
$1.2 million, respectively, during the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Income from
unconsolidated investments increased by $3.2 million during the quarter ended
March 31, 2001 primarily as a result of opening three new centers developed by
joint ventures during 2000 and by acquiring a 49% interest in four centers
through a joint venture in December 2000.

The OP operated gross leasable area ("GLA") at March 31, 2001 of 8.2 million
square feet including wholly and partially-owned GLA compared to 5.3 million
square feet at March 31, 2000 and had an interest in 27 manufacturers' outlet
centers at March 31, 2001 compared to 19 at the end of the same quarter in the
prior year.

Net GLA added since April 1, 2000 is detailed as follows:

Results of Operations

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

Income increased $0.8 million to $12.7 million for the three months ended March
31, 2001 from $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Increases
in revenues, primarily the result of new center development, expansions, and
higher rents on releasing and renewals, and net earnings from unconsolidated
investments that commenced operations in the second, third and fourth quarters
of 2000 were partially offset by the loss from Chelsea Interactive and increases
in operating, maintenance and interest expenses.

Base rentals increased $2.5 million, or 9.5%, to $28.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 from $26.3 million for the three months ended March
31, 2000 due to the fourth quarter 2000 opening of Allen Premium Outlets,
expansions and higher average rents on new leases and renewals.

Percentage rents increased $0.2 million to $2.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2001, from $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31,
2000. The increase was primarily due to new tenants at the OP's centers.

Expense reimbursements, representing contractual recoveries from tenants of
certain common area maintenance, operating, real estate tax, promotional and
management expenses, increased $1.8 million, or 20.5%, to $10.6 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 from $8.8 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000, due to the recovery of operating and maintenance costs from
increased GLA. The average recovery of reimbursable expenses was 88.0% in the
first quarter of 2001, compared to 89.0% in the first quarter of 2000.

Other income increased $0.7 million to $2.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2001, from $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The
increase is primarily the result of increased interest and ancillary income.

Operating and maintenance expenses increased $2.2 million, or 23.0%, to $12.1
million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $9.9 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase was primarily due to costs
related to expansions, and a new center opened.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.7 million, or 6.3%, to $11.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $10.9 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase was due to depreciation of
expansions, and a new center opened.

General and administrative expense increased $0.3 million to $1.1 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $0.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 primarily due to increased salaries.

Other expenses increased $0.3 million to $0.8 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 from $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The
increase was primarily due to increases in bad debt, offset by a 2000 write-off
of deferred site expense.

Income from unconsolidated investments increased $3.2 million to $3.3 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $0.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000. This resulted from equity-in-earnings and fees earned from
the OP's joint venture properties.

The loss from Chelsea Interactive in 2001 of $1.2 million was related to
depreciation, selling, general, administrative and maintenance expenses, offset
by nominal revenue.

Interest in excess of amounts capitalized increased $3.0 million to $8.6 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $5.6 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 primarily due to higher debt balances and lower
construction balances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The OP believes it has adequate financial resources to fund operating expenses,
distributions, and planned development and construction activities over the
short-term, which is less than 12 months and the long-term, which is 12 months
or more. Operating cash flow in 2000 of $104.5 million is expected to increase
with a full year of operations of the 2.9 million square feet of GLA added
during 2000 and scheduled openings of approximately 145,000 square feet in 2001,
representing additional phases of Allen Premium Outlets. As of March 31, 2001,
the OP has adequate funding sources to complete and open all of its current
development projects, including those of its e-commerce affiliate, Chelsea
Interactive, Inc., through the use of available cash of $47.8 million; a
yen-denominated line of credit totaling 4 billion yen (US $31.7 million) for the
OP's share of projects in Japan; and approximately $160 million available under
its Senior Credit Facility. The OP also has the ability to access the public
markets through its $450 million debt shelf registration and its $300 million
equity shelf registration.

Operating cash flow is expected to provide sufficient funds for dividends and
distributions in accordance with REIT federal income tax requirements. In
addition, the OP anticipates retaining sufficient operating cash to fund
re-tenanting and lease renewal tenant improvement costs, as well as capital
expenditures to maintain the quality of its centers, and meet funding
requirements for Chelsea Interactive's technology platform.

Common distributions declared and recorded during the three months ended March
31, 2001 were $15.1 million, or $0.78 per unit. The OP's dividend payout ratio
as a percentage of net income before depreciation and amortization (exclusive of
amortization of deferred financing costs ("FFO")) was 66.0% for the three months
ended March 31, 2001. The Senior Credit Facility limits aggregate dividends and
distributions to the lesser of (i) 90% of FFO on an annual basis or (ii) 100% of
FFO for any two consecutive quarters.

The OP has a $160 million senior unsecured bank line of credit (the "Senior
Credit Facility"). The Senior Credit Facility had an initial expiration date of
March 30, 2001 and was extended through March 30, 2003. The OP has an annual
right to request a one-year extension of the Senior Credit Facility which may be
granted at the option of the lenders. Lenders representing $145 million are
expected to extend the Facility until March 30, 2004. The Senior Credit Facility
bears interest on the outstanding balance, payable monthly, at a rate equal to
the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.05% (6.12% at March 31, 2001)
or the prime rate, at the OP's option. The LIBOR rate spread ranges from 0.85%
to 1.25% depending on the OP's Senior Debt rating. A fee on the unused portion
of the Senior Credit Facility is payable quarterly at rates ranging from 0.15%
to 0.25% depending on the balance outstanding. At March 31, 2001, the entire
$160 million was available under the Senior Credit Facility.

During the twelve month period ended January 2001, the OP completed four new
debt financing transactions totaling $360 million, both secured and unsecured.
These transactions strengthened the OP's financial flexibility and liquidity by
extending and sequencing debt maturities and significantly reducing floating
interest rate exposure at favorable rates.

In January 2001, the OP completed a $150 million offering of 8.25% Senior
unsecured term notes due February 2011 (the "8.25% Notes"). The 8.25% Notes were
priced to yield 8.396% to investors. Net proceeds from the offering were used to
repay $100 million of 7.75% unsecured notes due January 26, 2001, to repay all
borrowings outstanding under the OP's Senior Credit Facility and for general
corporate purposes.

In December 2000, the OP and Fortress Registered Investment Trust ("Fortress")
acquired four outlet centers from a competitor through a joint venture known as
F/C Acquisition Holdings, LLC ("F/C Acquisition") in which the OP has a 49%
interest. The total purchase price was $240 million, including the assumption of
approximately $174 million of 6.99% fixed-rate non-recourse mortgage debt
maturing in 2008. The OP borrowed $30 million from its Senior Credit Facility to
fund its share of the net purchase price. These borrowings were repaid in
January 2001 from proceeds of the 8.25% Notes.

In August 2000, the OP completed a $100 million private placement debt offering
to institutional investors consisting of $50 million of 8.375% unsecured term
notes due August 2005 (the "8.375% Notes") and $50 million of 8.625% unsecured
term notes due August 2009 (the "8.625% Notes"). The 8.375% Notes were priced to
yield 8.44% and the 8.625% Notes were priced to yield 8.66%. Proceeds were used
to repay borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility and for general corporate
purposes.

In April 2000, Chelsea Financing entered into a $70 million mortgage loan
secured by four of its properties, that matures April 2010 and bears interest at
a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.50% (6.78% at March 31, 2001) or prime rate plus
1.00%. Net proceeds were used to retire the $60 million term loan due April 30,
2000 and to repay borrowings under the OP's Senior Credit Facility. At March 31,
2001, $69.0 million was outstanding. In December 2000 Chelsea Financing entered
into an interest rate swap agreement effective January 2, 2001 with a financial
institution for a notional amount of $69.3 million to hedge against unfavorable
fluctuations in the LIBOR rates of its secured mortgage loan facility. The hedge
has a 5.7625% fixed rate plus the 1.50% spread results in a fixed interest rate
of 7.2625% until January 1, 2006. As of March 31, 2001, the OP recognized a net
interest credit of $9,000 which is included in interest expense.

In February 2000, Chelsea Allen entered into a $40.0 million construction loan
facility used to fund the Allen Premium Outlets project. The loan, which matures
February 2003, bears interest on the outstanding balance at a rate equal to
LIBOR plus 1.625% (6.53% at March 31, 2001) and is guaranteed by the Company and
the OP. At March 31, 2001, $26.3 million was outstanding.

The OP receives periodic cash flow distributions from its investments in joint
ventures in accordance with the respective partnership agreement. For the three
months ended March 31, 2001, the OP received or accrued $1.1 million from F/C
Acquisition and $4.9 million from OPO. Although such distributions are not
guaranteed for the future the OP anticipates that they will be received as
projected.

Development activity as of March 31, 2001 includes an additional phase of Allen
Premium Outlets, totaling 120,000 square feet scheduled to open during 2001, the
71,000 square foot second phase of Rinku Premium Outlets, located outside Osaka,
Japan, scheduled to open during the second quarter of 2001 and Chelsea
Interactive. The OP is also in the predevelopment stage of projects outside
Chicago, IL, Seattle, WA and Las Vegas NV, that are expected to open in late
2002 to early 2003. These projects are under development and there can be no
assurance that they will be completed or opened, or that there will not be
delays in opening or completion. All current development activity is fully
financed either through project specific secured construction financing, the yen
denominated line of credit or through the Senior Credit Facility. The OP will
seek to obtain permanent financing once the projects are completed and income
has been stabilized.

The OP has minority interests ranging from 5% to 15% in several outlet centers
and outlet development projects in Europe. Outlet centers, outside of London,
England, Barcelona and Madrid, Spain, are currently open and operated by Value
Retail PLC and its affiliates. Three new European projects and expansions of the
two existing centers are in various stages of development and are expected to
open within the next two years. The OP's total investment in Europe as of March
31, 2001 was $4.8 million. The OP has also agreed under a standby facility to
provide up to $22 million in limited debt service guarantees for loans provided
to Value Retail PLC and affiliates, to construct outlet centers in Europe. The
term of the standby facility is three years and guarantees shall not be
outstanding for longer than five years after project completion. As of March 31,
2001, the OP had provided guarantees of $12.5 million for three projects.

In July 2000, the OP launched an e-commerce venture through its affiliate,
Chelsea Interactive. The OP's investment in this venture was $32.2 million at
March 31, 2001. The Board of Directors has approved funding up to $60.0 million
that is expected to be provided from operating cash flow over the next several
years.

To achieve planned growth and favorable returns in both the short and long term,
the OP's financing strategy is to maintain a strong, flexible financial position
by: (i) maintaining a conservative level of leverage; (ii) extending and
sequencing debt maturity dates; (iii) managing exposure to floating interest
rates; and (iv) maintaining liquidity. Management believes these strategies will
enable the OP to access a broad array of capital sources, including bank or
institutional borrowings and secured and unsecured debt and equity offerings,
subject to market conditions.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $9.4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the corresponding 2000 period, primarily
due to the reduction of trade accounts payable. Net cash used in investing
activities decreased $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001
compared to the corresponding 2000 period, as a result of decreased construction
activity, distributions from joint venture investments and receipt of payments
on the notes receivable offset by the equity requirements of Chelsea Interactive
and proceeds from sale of a center in 2000. At March 31, 2001, net cash provided
by financing activities increased by $21.3 million primarily due to the debt
offering in January 2001, offset by the maturity of the 7.75% unsecured notes
due January 2001, payment of the Senior Credit Facility balance and increased
deferred finance costs.

Funds from Operations

Management believes that funds from operations ("FFO") should be considered in
conjunction with net income, as presented in the statements of operations
included elsewhere herein, to facilitate a clearer understanding of the
operating results of the OP. The White Paper on Funds from Operations ("FFO")
approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in October 1999 defines FFO as net
income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses)
from debt restructuring and sales of properties, plus real estate related
depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. The OP believes that FFO is helpful to
investors as a measure of the performance of an equity REIT because, along with
cash flow from operating activities, financing activities and investing
activities, it provides investors with an indication of the ability of the OP to
incur and service debt, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash
needs. The OP computes FFO in accordance with the current standards established
by NAREIT which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REIT's that do
not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that
interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the OP. FFO does not
represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and
should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in
accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the OP's financial performance or to
cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a
measure of the OP's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund
the OP's cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions.

Economic Conditions

Substantially all leases contain provisions, including escalations of base rents
and percentage rentals calculated on gross sales, to mitigate the impact of
inflation. Inflationary increases in common area maintenance and real estate tax
expenses are substantially all reimbursed by tenants.

Virtually all tenants have met their lease obligations and the OP continues to
attract and retain quality tenants. The OP intends to reduce operating and
leasing risks by continually improving its tenant mix, rental rates and lease
terms, and by pursuing contracts with creditworthy upscale and national
brand-name tenants.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The OP is exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from its floating rate
debt arrangements. In December 2000, the OP implemented a policy to protect
against interest rate and foreign exchange risk. The OP's primary strategy is to
protect against this risk by using derivative transactions as appropriate to
minimize the variability that floating rate interest and foreign currency
fluctuations could have on cash flow.

In December 2000 a wholly-owned subsidiary of the OP entered into an interest
rate swap agreement effective January 2, 2001 with a major financial institution
for a notional amount of $69.3 million to hedge against unfavorable fluctuations
in the LIBOR rates of its secured mortgage loan facility. The hedge effectively
produces a fixed interest rate of 7.2625% on the notional amount until January
1, 2006.

At March 31, 2001, the OP had certain accounts receivable due from Chelsea
Japan. On March 20, 2001 the OP entered into a foreign currency forward contract
with a major financial institution to protect against unfavorable movements of
the Japanese Yen. The contract, which matures June 21, 2001, calls for the sale
of Yen 175,000,000 at an exchange rate of 121.45 for which the OP will receive
$1.4 million at maturity.

The derivative risk related to these agreements is deemed to be immaterial as
they involve major financial institutions.

At March 31, 2001 a hypothetical 100 basis point adverse move (increase) in US
Treasury and LIBOR rates applied to unhedged debt would adversely affect the
OP's annual interest cost by approximately $0.3 million annually.
