Additionally, during 1996, the Company acquired property valued at $1.6 million through the issuance of units in the Operating Partnership. THE ACCOMPANYING NOTES ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. CHELSEA GCA REALTY PARTNERSHIP, L.P. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Chelsea GCA Realty Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), which commenced operations on November 2, 1993, is engaged in the development, ownership, acquisition, leasing and operation of manufacturers' outlet centers. As of March 31, 1997, the Operating Partnership operated 19 centers in 11 states (the "Properties") containing approximately 3.8 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). The Properties are located near large metropolitan areas including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, Atlanta, Portland (Oregon), Kansas City and Cleveland, or at or near tourist destinations including Honolulu, the Napa Valley, Palm Springs and the Monterey Peninsula. The Operating Partnership also has a number of properties under development and expansion. The sole general partner in the Operating Partnership, Chelsea GCA Realty, Inc. (the "Company"), is a self-administered and self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust. Ownership of the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 1997 was as follows: General Partner 80.1% 13,805,000 units Limited Partners 19.9% 3,436,000 units ---------------- ------------------- TOTAL 100.0% 17,241,000 The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership include the accounts of Solvang Designer Outlets ("Solvang"), a limited partnership in which the Operating Partnership has a 50% interest and is the sole general partner. As the sole general partner, the Operating Partnership has the ability to exercise both financial and operational control over the partnership. Solvang is not material to the operations or financial position of the Operating Partnership. 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, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Operating Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. Management does not believe the adoption of Statement No. 128 will have a material impact on earning, per share. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. 2. WAIKELE ACQUISITION Pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated as of March 31, 1997, the Operating Partnership acquired Waikele Factory Outlets, a manufacturers' outlet shopping center located in Hawaii. The consideration paid by the Operating Partnership consisted of the assumption of $70.7 million of indebtedness outstanding with respect to the property (which indebtedness was repaid in full by the Operating Partnership immediately after the closing) and the issuance of special partnership units in the Operating Partnership, having a fair market value of $0.5 million. Immediately after the closing, the Operating Partnership paid a special cash distribution of $5.0 million on the special units. The cash used by the Operating Partnership in the transaction was obtained through borrowings under the Operating Partnership's Unsecured Facility (see note 3). Waikele was not included in the Operating Partnership's operating results for the first quarter. 3. DEBT In March 1996, the Operating Partnership replaced its secured revolving credit facility (the "Secured Facility") with a new unsecured $100 million revolving credit facility (the "Unsecured Facility") which expires March 29, 1998. In connection with the termination of the Secured Facility, the Operating Partnership expensed as an extraordinary item the unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.6 million (net of minority interest of $0.3 million) which had been incurred. In March 1997, the Operating Partnership entered into a $50 million unsecured revolving credit facility in addition to the $100 million Unsecured Facility with the same terms and conditions except the additional facility expires on September 30, 1997 unless extended for six months. Interest on the outstanding balance of the unsecured facilities is payable monthly at a rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.45%, or the prime rate, at the Operating Partnership's option. Fees on the unused portion of the unsecured facilities are payable quarterly at a rate of 0.25% per annum. The outstanding balance at March 31, 1997 was $85.0 million, which approximates fair value, leaving $65.0 million of borrowing availability. The unsecured facilities require compliance with certain loan covenants relating to debt service coverage, tangible net worth, cash flow, earnings, occupancy rate, new development and dividends. The Operating Partnership has remained in compliance with these covenants since inception of the facilities. In January 1996, the Operating Partnership completed a $100 million public debt offering of 7.75% unsecured term notes due January 2001 (the "Term Notes"), which are guaranteed by the Company. The five-year non-callable Term Notes were priced at a discount of 99.952 to yield 7.85% to investors. Net proceeds from the offering were used to pay down substantially all of the borrowings under the Secured Facility. In October 1996, the Operating Partnership completed a $100 million offering of Remarketed Floating Rate Reset Notes (the "Reset Notes"), which are guaranteed by the Company. The interest rate will reset quarterly and will equal LIBOR plus 75 basis points during the first year. The spread and the spread period for subsequent periods will be adjusted in whole or part at the end of the first year, pursuant to an agreement with the underwriters. Unless previously redeemed, the Reset Notes will have a final maturity of October 23, 2001. Net proceeds from the offering were used to repay all of the borrowings under the Unsecured Facility and for working capital. The carrying amount of the Reset Notes approximates their fair value. Interest and loan costs of approximately $0.8 million and $1.1 million were capitalized as development costs during the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. 4. DISTRIBUTIONS On March 13, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a $0.63 per unit cash distribution to unitholders of record on March 28, 1997. The distribution, totaling $10.8 million, was paid on April 18, 1997. 5. 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. 6. NET INCOME PER PARTNERSHIP UNIT Net income per partnership unit is determined by allocating net income to the general partner and the limited partners based on their weighted average partnership units outstanding during the respective periods presented. 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Operating Partnership is not presently involved in any material litigation nor, to its knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Operating Partnership or its properties, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes the costs, if any, incurred by the Operating Partnership related to this litigation will not materially affect the financial position, operating results or liquidity of the Operating Partnership. 8. RELATED PARTY INFORMATION The Operating Partnership recognized lease settlement income of approximately $99,000 from a related party during the three months ended March 31, 1996. This amount is included in other income in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. 9. EXTRAORDINARY ITEM Deferred financing costs of $0.6 million (net of minority interest of $0.3 million) related to the Secured Facility replaced in March 1996 were expensed and are reflected in the accompanying financial statements as an extraordinary item. CHELSEA GCA REALTY PARTNERSHIP, L.P. 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 The Operating Partnership has grown by increasing rent at its existing centers, expanding its existing centers, developing new centers and acquiring and redeveloping centers. The Operating Partnership operated 19 manufacturers' outlet centers at March 31, 1997 compared to 16 at the end of the same quarter in the prior year. The Operating Partnership's operating gross leasable area (GLA) at March 31, 1997, increased 30.3% to 3.8 million square feet from 2.9 million square feet at March 31, 1996. GLA added since April 1, 1996 is detailed as follows: 12 mos ended 3 mos ended 9 mos ended March 31, March 31, December 31, 1997 1997 1996 ---------------- ---------------- --------------- GLA added (in 000's): NEW CENTERS OPENED: North Georgia................................ 292 - 292 Clinton Crossing............................. 272 - 272 ------------ ------------ ------------ TOTAL NEW CENTERS............................... 564 - 564 CENTERS EXPANDED: Desert Hills................................. 11 11 - Camarillo.................................... 54 - 54 Petaluma..................................... 28 - 28 Folsom....................................... 22 - 22 Other........................................

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 1997 to the three months ended March 31, 1996. Net income before minority interest and extraordinary item decreased $0.6 million to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996. Increases in revenues were offset by interest on borrowings and increases in depreciation and amortization. Base rentals increased $2.9 million, or 22.8%, to $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $12.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 due to expansions, new center openings and higher average rents. Percentage rents increased $0.5 million to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997, from $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The increase was primarily due to increases in tenant sales at the Operating Partnership's larger centers and an increase in tenants contributing percentage rents. Expense reimbursements, representing contractual recoveries from tenants of certain common area maintenance, operating, real estate tax, promotional and management expenses, increased $0.2 million, or 4.3%, to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996, due to the recovery of operating and maintenance costs at new and expanded centers. The average recovery of reimbursable expenses was 91.1% in the first quarter of 1997, compared to 93.2% in the first quarter of 1996. Interest in excess of amounts capitalized increased $1.6 million to $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 due to higher debt balances and the opening of centers and expansions financed during 1996. Operating and maintenance expenses increased $0.4 million, or 6.6%, to $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The increase was primarily due to costs related to expansions and new centers offset by a decrease in expenses due to the severe weather in the northeast during the three months ended March 31, 1996. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.2 million, or 58.8%, to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The increase was primarily related to expansions and new centers. Other expenses increased $0.1 million to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The increase included additional reserves for bad debts. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Operating Partnership believes it has adequate financial resources to fund operating expenses, distributions, and planned development and construction activities. Operating cash flow during 1997 is expected to increase with a full year of operations of the 676,000 square feet of GLA added during 1996, the acquisition of Waikele Factory Outlets, scheduled openings of one new center and expansions in 1997, subject to market demand. In addition, at March 31, 1997 the Operating Partnership had $65.0 million available under its unsecured facilities, access to the public markets through the Company's $200 million equity shelf registration, and cash equivalents of $9.8 million. Operating cash flow is expected to provide sufficient funds for distributions. In addition, the Operating Partnership 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. Distributions declared and recorded during the three months ended March 31, 1997 were $10.8 million, or $0.63 per unit. The Operating Partnership's distribution payout ratio as a percentage of net income before depreciation and amortization, exclusive of amortization of deferred financing costs, minority interest and extraordinary item ("FFO") was 91.8% during the three months ended March 31, 1997. The Unsecured Facility limits aggregate distributions to the lesser of (i) 90% of FFO on an annual basis or (ii) 100% of FFO for any two consecutive quarters. In March 1997, the Operating Partnership entered into a $50 million unsecured revolving credit facility in addition to the $100 million Unsecured Facility with the same terms and conditions except the additional facility expires on September 30, 1997 unless extended for six months. Interest on the outstanding balance is payable monthly at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.45%, or the prime rate, at the Operating Partnership's option. Fees on the unused portion of the unsecured facilities are payable quarterly at a rate of 0.25% per annum. The Operating Partnership is in the process of planning development for 1997 and beyond which includes a new project in Wrentham, Massachusetts (located near the junction of Interstates 95 and 495 between Boston, MA and Providence, RI) with an expected initial phase of 230,000 square feet of GLA and expansions at Woodbury Common (270,000 square feet), North Georgia (111,000 square feet), Desert Hills (36,000 square feet), Liberty Village (13,000 square feet), Folsom (32,000 square feet) and Camarillo (82,000 square feet). These projects are in various stages of development and there can be no assurance that any of these projects will be completed or opened, or that there will not be delays in the opening or completion of any of them. The Operating Partnership anticipates development and construction costs of $75 million to $115 million annually. To achieve planned growth and favorable returns in both the short and long term, the Operating Partnership'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; (iv) maintaining a significant level of unencumbered assets; and (v) maintaining liquidity. Management believes these strategies will enable the Operating Partnership 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. It is the Operating Partnership's policy to limit its borrowings to less than 40% of total market capitalization (defined as the value of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis including conversion of partnership units to common stock, plus total debt). Using a March 31, 1997 closing price of $35.875 per share of stock of the Company, the Operating Partnership's ratio of debt to total market capitalization was approximately 32%. Net cash provided by operating activities was $13.4 million and $11.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the growth of the Operating Partnership's GLA to 3.8 million square feet in 1997 from 2.9 million square feet in 1996 and decreases in accounts receivable offset by decreases in accrued interest on borrowings. Net cash used in investing activities increased $72.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the corresponding 1996 period, primarily as a result of the Waikele Factory Outlets acquisition. Net cash provided by financing activities increased $65.9 million primarily due to borrowings for the Waikele Factory Outlets acquisition. 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 clear understanding of the operating results of the Operating Partnership. Management considers FFO an appropriate measure of performance for an equity real estate investment trust. FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), is net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, exclusive of outparcel sales, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO does not represent net income or cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or to cash from operations, and is not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs.
