THE MACERICH COMPANY 						By: /s/Thomas E. O'Hern -------------------- 							 Thomas E. O'Hern Senior Vice President and 							 Chief Financial Officer 3 Report of Independent Auditors To the Management of Macerich, Inc. We have audited the combined statement of revenue and certain expenses of South Towne Center and South Towne Marketplace ("the Properties") as described in Note 1 for the year ended December 31, 1996. The combined statement of revenue and certain expenses is the responsibility of the Properties' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the combined statement of revenue and certain expenses based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statement is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures made in the combined statement of revenue and certain expenses. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall combined financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The accompanying combined statement of revenue and certain expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as described in Note 1, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Properties' revenue and expenses. In our opinion, the combined statement of revenue and certain expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the combined revenue and certain expenses, as described in Note 1, for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The following is a summary of certain significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying combined statement of revenue and certain expenses (the "Statement"). The Statement is a representation of the management of South Towne Center and South Towne Marketplace (the "Properties"), which is responsible for its integrity and objectivity. For the year ended December 31, 1996, South Towne Center contained approximately 695,000 square feet and was 94% occupied. South Towne Marketplace contained approximately 305,000 square feet and was 100% occupied. The Properties, which are shopping centers, are located in Sandy, Utah. Basis of Presentation The Statement includes the combined revenue and certain expenses of the Properties. The Statement has been prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, depreciation, interest and management fees are not presented. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Statement in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and certain expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. F-3 South Towne Investors (an Illinois Limited Partnership) and ZML-South Towne Vacant, Inc. ("Marketplace") Notes to Financial Statements (continued) December 31, 1996 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Business Activity Equities Properties and Development L.P., an affiliate of the Properties, manages the shopping centers and, on behalf of the Properties, leases tenant space under noncancellable operating leases. The terms of the leases vary with the tenants. Legal fees of $98,000 were paid to Rosenberg & Liebentritt P.C., an affiliate of the Properties, related to tenant matters. Revenue Recognition Base rents attributable to leases are recorded when due from tenants and are recorded on a straight-line basis. For the year ended December 31, 1996, $453,000 of base rents in excess of amounts billed were recognized as revenue. Certain of the leases provide for additional rental revenue ("Percentage Rents") to be paid based upon the level of sales achieved by the lessee. These Percentage Rents are reflected on the accrual basis. The leases also typically provide for tenant reimbursement of common area maintenance and other operating expenses, which are included in the accompanying Statement as expense reimbursements. Development of South Towne Marketplace For the first nine months of 1996, South Towne Marketplace was under development. The shopping center was considered substantially complete on September 30, 1996. All costs, including real estate taxes and operating costs, were capitalized prior to September 30, 1996, and the accompanying Statement only includes the operations of South Towne Marketplace for the period from October 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996, which includes revenue of $523,000, expenses of $96,000 and revenues in excess of certain expenses of $427,000.
