Such statements are based on assumptions and expectations which may not be realized and are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which might not even be anticipated. Future events and actual results, performance or achievements, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Risks, uncertainties and other factors that might cause such differences, some of which could be material, include, but are not limited to: national and local economic, business and real estate and other market conditions; financing risks, such as the inability to obtain debt or equity financing on favorable terms; potential adverse effects of the Merger (as defined below), such as the inability to successfully integrate two previously separate companies; the level and volatility of interest rates; financial stability of tenants; the rate of revenue increases versus expense increases; governmental approvals, actions and initiatives; environmental/safety requirements; risks of real estate acquisition and development (including the failure of pending acquisitions to close and pending developments to be completed on time and within budget); as well as other risks listed from time to time in this Form 10-K and in the Company's other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise publicly disseminated by the Company. ITEM 1. BUSINESS (a) General Development of Business As of July 31, 1998, the Trust was a self-administered and self-managed equity real estate investment trust. The Trust was organized on July 31, 1972 as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Trust is the successor to the original registrant (Reg. No. 2-19671), New Plan Realty Corporation, which was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 4, 1961. Since September 28, 1998, in connection with the Merger (as defined below), the Trust has been a wholly owned subsidiary of New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc. ("New Plan Excel"), a self-administered and self-managed equity real estate investment trust, which was incorporated under the laws of the State of California in 1985 and reincorporated as a Maryland corporation in July 1993. See " -- Narrative Description of Business -- Consummation of the Merger" below. (b) Financial Information About Industry Segments As of July 31, 1998, the Trust was in the business of managing, operating, leasing, acquiring, developing and investing in shopping centers, factory outlet centers and apartment communities. See the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for certain information required by Item 1. 4 Since September 28, 1998, the Trust has been in the business of managing, operating and leasing its existing portfolio of shopping centers, factory outlet centers and apartment communities. See " -- Narrative Description of the Business -- Acquisition, Financing and Operating Strategies" below. (c) Narrative Description of Business General As of July 31, 1998, the Trust owned, directly or through its subsidiaries, fee or leasehold interests in 136 shopping centers containing an aggregate of approximately 19.5 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"), six factory outlet centers containing an aggregate of approximately 1.8 million square feet of GLA and 53 apartment communities containing approximately 12,700 units, primarily in the eastern half of the United States. The average occupancy rates as of July 31, 1998 for the shopping centers, factory outlet centers and apartment communities were approximately 91%, 91% and 92%, respectively. In addition, as of July 31, 1998, the Trust owned a mortgage interest in five shopping centers. The Trust maintains its executive offices at 1120 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036, and its telephone number is (212) 869-3000. Acquisition, Financing and Operating Strategies As of July 31, 1998, the Trust's primary investment strategy was to identify and purchase well-located income-producing shopping centers and apartment communities at a discount to replacement cost. The Trust also purchased or developed selected factory outlet centers. The Trust sought to achieve income growth and enhance the cash flow potential of its properties through a program of expansion, renovation, leasing, re-leasing and improving the tenant mix. The Trust minimized development risks by generally purchasing existing income-producing properties. The Trust regularly reviewed its portfolio and from time to time considered the sale of certain of its properties. As a result of the consummation of the Merger on September 28, 1998, the Trust currently seeks to achieve income growth and enhance the cash flow potential of its properties through a program of expansion, renovation, leasing, re-leasing and improving the tenant mix. It is expected that future acquisitions and developments of, and investments in, shopping centers, factory outlet centers and apartment communities will be done by New Plan Excel directly, rather than through the Trust (although the Trust is not precluded from making future acquisitions and developments of, or investments in, properties). The Trust, however, will regularly review its portfolio and from time to time consider the sale of certain of its properties. The Trust has generally acquired properties for cash. In a few instances, properties were acquired subject to existing mortgages. Long-term debt of the Trust as of July 31, 1998 consisted of $114.1 million of mortgages having a weighted average interest rate of 7.8% and $462.8 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes having a weighted average interest rate of 6.9%. The Trust's short-term debt consists of normal trade accounts payable and the current portion of mortgages payable. As of July 31, 1998, there was no outstanding balance under the Trust's $50 million unsecured line of credit with The Bank of New York, Bank Hapoalim B.M. and Fleet National Bank. As of October 16, 1998, the outstanding balance under the line of credit was $50 million. 2 5 As of July 31, 1998, virtually all operating and administrative functions, such as leasing, data processing, finance, accounting, construction and legal, were centrally managed at the Trust's headquarters. In addition, the Trust maintained regional offices located near its various properties. On-site functions such as security, maintenance, landscaping and other similar activities were either performed by the Trust or subcontracted. The cost of these functions was passed through to tenants to the extent permitted by the respective leases. As a result of the consummation of the Merger on September 28, 1998, virtually all operating and administrative functions, such as leasing, data processing, finance, accounting, construction and legal, are now managed at the Trust's executive and operational headquarters in New York, New York and the Trust's operational headquarters in San Diego, California. The Trust continues to maintain field offices and regional offices located near its various properties. On-site functions such as security, maintenance, landscaping and other similar activities are either performed by the Trust or subcontracted. The cost of these functions are passed through to tenants to the extent permitted by the respective leases. Developments During the 1998 Fiscal Year In the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998, the Trust acquired 14 shopping centers containing an aggregate of approximately 1.9 million square feet of GLA and five apartment communities containing approximately 1,600 units. The newly acquired properties are located in Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia. The aggregate purchase price for these properties, including assumed mortgages, was approximately $157 million. Between July 31, 1998 and September 30, 1998, the Trust purchased an apartment community containing 278 units in North Carolina, as well as a single tenant retail property containing approximately 34,000 square feet of GLA in Pennsylvania. The aggregate purchase price for these properties was approximately $14.2 million. Gross revenues, net income and funds from operations of the Trust for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998 were the largest in the Trust's history. Funds from operations ("FFO") applicable to common shares of beneficial interest, no par value, of the Trust ("Common Shares"), defined as net income plus depreciation and amortization of real estate, less gains from sales of assets and securities, less distribution requirements with respect to preferred shares of the Trust, was approximately $116.4 million. Consummation of the Merger On September 28, 1998, Excel Realty Trust, Inc. ("Excel") and the Trust consummated a previously announced merger pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of May 14, 1998, as amended as of August 7, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement"), whereby ERT Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Excel, was merged with and into the Trust with the Trust surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Excel (the "Merger"). The Merger was approved by the stockholders of Excel and the shareholders of the Trust at special meetings held on September 25, 1998. In connection with the consummation of the Merger, Excel changed its name from "Excel Realty Trust, Inc." to "New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc." As provided in the Merger Agreement, Excel paid a 20% stock dividend prior to the Merger. Upon consummation of the Merger, each Common Share of the Trust was converted into one share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of New Plan Excel ("New Plan Excel Common Stock"), and 3 6 each 7.8% Series A Cumulative Step-Up Premium Rate Preferred Share, par value $1.00 per share, of the Trust was converted into one share of 7.8% Series D Cumulative Voting Step-Up Premium Rate Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, of New Plan Excel ("New Plan Excel Series D Preferred Stock"). New Plan Excel issued an aggregate of approximately 60,000,000 shares of New Plan Excel Common Stock and 150,000 shares of New Plan Excel Series D Preferred Stock (represented by 1,500,000 depositary shares, each of which represents a one-tenth fractional interest in a share of New Plan Excel Series D Preferred Stock) to the Trust's shareholders in the Merger. The New Plan Excel Common Stock is listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "NXL." As further provided in the Merger Agreement, effective September 28, 1998, the Board of Trustees of the Trust and the Board of Directors of New Plan Excel consist of the six former members of Excel's Board and the nine former members of the Trust's Board. Effective September 28, 1998, the senior management of the Trust and New Plan Excel is as follows: William Newman Chairman Arnold Laubich Chief Executive Officer Gary B. Sabin President and Chairman of Investment Committee James M. Steuterman Executive Vice President and Co-Chief Operating Officer Richard B. Muir Executive Vice President and Co-Chief Operating Officer David A. Lund Chief Financial Officer New Plan Excel intends and expects that Mr. Laubich will eventually succeed Mr. Newman as Chairman of New Plan Excel, at such time as Mr. Newman is no longer serving in such capacity, and that Mr. Sabin will eventually succeed Mr. Laubich as Chief Executive Officer of New Plan Excel, at such time as Mr. Laubich is no longer serving in such capacity. In connection with the consummation of the Merger, on September 28, 1998, the Trust guaranteed the borrowings of New Plan Excel under New Plan Excel's revolving credit facility. Competition The success of the Trust depends, among other factors, upon the trends of the economy, including interest rates, income tax laws, increases or decreases in operating expenses, governmental regulations and legislation, including environmental requirements, real estate fluctuations, retailing trends, population trends, zoning laws, the financial condition and stability of tenants, the availability of financing and capital on satisfactory terms, the ability of the Trust to compete with others for tenants and keep its properties leased at profitable levels and construction costs. As of July 31, 1998, the Trust competed for properties with an indeterminate number of investors, including domestic and foreign corporations and financial institutions, other real estate investment trusts, life insurance companies, pension funds and trust funds. As a result of the consummation of the Merger on September 28, 1998, it is expected that future acquisitions and developments of, and investments in, properties will be done by New Plan Excel directly, rather than through the Trust (although the Trust is not precluded from making future acquisitions and developments of, or investments in, properties). Adverse changes in general or local economic conditions could result in the inability of some existing tenants of the Trust to meet their lease obligations and could otherwise adversely affect the Trust's ability to attract or retain tenants. Management believes, however, that the Trust's financial strength and operating practices, particularly its ability to implement renovation, expansion and leasing programs, will enable it to maintain and increase rental income from its properties. 4 7 Employees As of July 31, 1998, the Trust and its subsidiaries employed approximately 600 individuals (including executive, administrative and field personnel). As of such date, the Trust considered its relations with its personnel to be good. As a result of the consummation of the Merger, as of September 28, 1998, New Plan Excel and its subsidiaries (including the Trust) employed approximately 750 individuals (including executive, administrative and field personnel). Qualification as a Real Estate Investment Trust As of July 31, 1998, the Trust met the qualification requirements of a real estate investment trust under Sections 856-858 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). As a result, the Trust was not taxed on its REIT taxable income, at least 95% of which was distributed to shareholders. See Item 5 below. As a result of the consummation of the Merger, since September 28, 1998, the Trust has been a wholly owed subsidiary of New Plan Excel and, therefore, the Trust is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS (a) Market Information The following table shows the high and low sales price for the Trust's Common Shares, on the New York Stock Exchange, and, prior to June 12, 1986, on the American Stock Exchange, as well as cash distributions paid, for the periods indicated. Figures are adjusted to give effect to a 2-for-1 stock split on February 1, 1983 and a 3-for-2 stock split on April 1, 1986. In connection with the consummation of the Merger, on September 28, 1998, the Trust became a wholly owned subsidiary of New Plan Excel, and the Common Shares ceased trading on the New York Stock Exchange after the close of trading on that date. As a result, there is currently no established public trading market for the Common Shares. 20 23 Fiscal Year Ended Cash Distributions July 31, High Low Paid per Common Share ----------------- ---- --- --------------------- 1984 $ 8.50 $ 7.25 $ .57 1985 11.92 7.50 .65 1986 14.50 10.00 .73 1987 18.38 13.00 .81 1988 17.63 10.75 .89 1989 17.88 14.38 .97 1990 19.13 14.88 1.05 1991 21.25 13.75 1.13 1992 25.00 19.63 1.21 1993 26.38 21.50 1.275 1994 26.38 20.38 1.315 1995 22.63 18.75 1.355 1996 23.00 19.88 1.395 1997 First Quarter 22.00 21.13 .3550 Second Quarter 25.63 21.63 .3575 Third Quarter 24.50 21.38 .3600 Fourth Quarter 23.63 21.50 .3625 -------- TOTAL 1.435 1998 First Quarter 24.75 22.57 .3650 Second Quarter 26.00 23.57 .3675 Third Quarter 26.13 24.00 .3700 Fourth Quarter 25.63 22.25 .3725 -------- TOTAL 1.475 (b) Holders As of September 11, 1998, the approximate number of record holders of the Trust's Common Shares (the only class of common equity) was 13,700. In connection with the consummation of the Merger on September 28, 1998, the Trust became a wholly owned subsidiary of New Plan Excel. As a result, New Plan Excel is currently the only record holder of Common Shares. 21 24 (c) Distributions The Trust made distributions to shareholders aggregating $1.475 per Common Share during the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998. Of this distribution, it is estimated that $1.413 will qualify as ordinary income and $.062 will qualify as a return of capital. The Trust has paid regular and uninterrupted cash distributions on its Common Shares since it commenced operations as a REIT in 1972. Since inception, each distribution has either been equal to or greater than the distribution immediately preceding it, and the distributions have increased in each of the last 77 consecutive quarters. As a result of the consummation of the Merger, since September 28, 1998, all of the Common Shares have been held by New Plan Excel. The Trust will make quarterly distributions on its Common Shares as, if and when declared by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. As of July 31, 1998, the Trust had a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (the "Plan") which allowed shareholders to acquire additional Common Shares by automatically reinvesting distributions. Common Shares were acquired pursuant to the Plan at a price equal to 95% of the market price of such Common Shares, without payment of any brokerage commission or service charge. The Plan also allowed shareholders to purchase additional Common Shares on the dividend payment date, at 100% of the average of the high and low sales price of such Common Shares on that date. In connection with the consummation of the Merger, on September 28, 1998, the Trust became a wholly owned subsidiary of New Plan Excel, and, as a result, the Plan was effectively terminated. 22 25 ITEM 6.

FFO is defined as net income plus depreciation and amortization of real estate, less gains from sales of assets and securities, less distribution requirements with respect to preferred shares of the Trust. FFO is presented because industry analysts and the Trust consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of performance of REITs. FFO is not a substitute for cash funds generated from operating activities or net income as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as a measure of profitability or liquidity. FFO as defined by the Trust may not be comparable to the definition used by other REITs. 23 26 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (a) Liquidity and Capital Resources As of July 31, 1998, the Trust had approximately $26.3 million in available cash and cash equivalents, $1.8 million in marketable securities and $13.9 million in mortgages receivable. During fiscal 1998, the Trust paid approximately $105 million in cash and assumed mortgage debt of $51.9 million to acquire 14 shopping centers containing an aggregate of approximately 1.9 million square feet of GLA and five apartment communities containing approximately 1,600 units. In addition, approximately $18 million was paid for improvements to existing properties. Debt as of July 31, 1998 consisted of $114.1 million of mortgages payable having a weighted average interest rate of 7.8% and $462.8 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes having a weighted average interest rate of 6.9%. The $48.5 million increase in mortgages payable was the net result of the assumption of $51.9 million of mortgages payable in connection with the purchase of properties and the repayment of $3.4 million of existing mortgages. During fiscal 1998, the Trust sold $50 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes having an interest rate of 6.9% and maturing on February 15, 2028. The increase in other liabilities is due to increases in accounts payable, interest payable and real estate taxes payable. These increases are primarily the result of the larger portfolio of properties and an increased level of outstanding debt. Short-term debt consists of normal trade accounts payable and the current portion of mortgages payable. The Trust's dividend reinvestment program generated approximately $18.2 million during fiscal 1998. In addition, holders of Common Shares and preferred shares of the Trust received $93.1 million in dividend distributions. FFO applicable to Common Shares, defined as net income plus depreciation and amortization of real estate, less gains from sales of assets and securities, less distribution requirements with respect to preferred shares of the Trust, increased $14.8 million to $116.4 million from $101.6 million in the prior year. FFO is presented because industry analysts and the Trust consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of performance of REITs. FFO is not a substitute for cash funds generated from operating activities or net income as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as a measure of profitability or liquidity. FFO as defined by the Trust may not be comparable to the definition used by other REITs. Other sources of funds are available to the Trust. Based on management's internal valuation of the Trust's properties, most of which are free and clear of mortgages, the estimated value is considerably in excess of the outstanding mortgage indebtedness totaling $114.1 million. Accordingly, management believes that potential exists for additional mortgage financing as well as unsecured borrowing capacity from public debt financing, banks and other lenders. The Trust holds debt instruments which are sensitive to changes in interest rates and marketable equity securities which are sensitive to market price changes. With respect to the Trust's debt instruments, the maturity, weighted average interest rates and fair value are presented in Notes E, F and P to the Consolidated Financial Statements. With respect to the Trust's marketable equity securities, the cost and fair value are presented in Note B to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In the normal course of business, the Trust also faces risks that are either non-financial or non-qualitative. Such risks principally include credit risks and legal risks and are not included in the 24 27 aforementioned notes. Between July 31, 1998 and September 30, 1998, the Trust purchased an apartment community containing 278 units in North Carolina, as well as a single tenant retail property containing approximately 34,000 square feet of GLA in Pennsylvania. The aggregate purchase price for these properties was approximately $14.2 million. On August 11, 1998, the Trustees declared a cash distribution to holders of record of the Common Shares as of September 1, 1998 in the amount of $.375 per share (approximately $22.5 million in the aggregate) payable on September 11, 1998. Also on August 11, 1998, the Trustees declared a cash distribution to holders of record of each 7.8% Series A Cumulative Step-Up Premium Rate Preferred Shares, par value $1.00 per share, of the Trust as of September 1, 1998 in the amount of $9.75 per share ($.975 per depositary share and approximately $1.5 million in the aggregate) payable on September 15, 1998. (b) Year 2000 Compliance Readiness The Trust's centralized corporate business and technical information systems have been assessed as to Year 2000 compliance and functionality. Presently these systems are nearly complete with respect to required software or hardware changes. See " -- Year 2000 Compliance Detail" below. The Trust anticipates that internal business and technical information Year 2000 compliance issues will be substantially remediated by the end of calendar 1998. The Trust has satisfactorily completed the identification and review of computer hardware and software suppliers and is in the process of verifying the Year 2000 preparedness of suppliers, vendors and/or service providers that the Trust has identified as critical. Cost The total historical and anticipated remaining costs for the Year 2000 remediation are estimated to be immaterial to the Trust's financial condition. The costs to date have been expensed as incurred and consist of immaterial internal staff costs and other expenses such as telephone and mailing costs. In addition, where the appropriate course of action includes replacement or upgrade of certain systems or equipment, the Trust's review at this time indicates a minor cost to the Trust. Risks and Contingency Plans Considering the substantial progress made to date, the Trust does not anticipate delays in finalizing internal Year 2000 remediation within remaining time schedules. However, third parties having a material relationship with the Trust (e.g., utilities, financial institutions, governmental agencies, municipalities and major tenants) may be a potential risk based on their individual Year 2000 preparedness which may not be within the Trust's reasonable control. The Trust is in the process of identifying, reviewing and logging the Year 2000 preparedness of critical third parties. Anticipated completion of this review is calendar 1998 year-end. Pending the results of that review, the Trust will determine what course of action and contingencies will need to be made. 25 28 There can be no assurance that the external Year 2000 issues will be resolved in 1998 or 1999. If not resolved, such issues could have a material adverse impact on the Trust's business, operating results and financial condition. Year 2000 Compliance Detail The Trust's "Program" addresses the Year 2000 issue with respect to the following: (i) the Trust's information technology and operating systems, including its billing, accounting and financial reporting systems; (ii) the Trust's non-information technology systems, including building access, parking lot light and energy management, equipment and other infrastructure systems that may contain or use computer systems or embedded microcontroller technology; and (iii) certain systems of the Trust's major suppliers and material service providers (insofar as such systems relate to the Trust's business activities such as payroll, health services and alarm systems). As described below, the Trust's Year 2000 program involves (w) an assessment of the Year 2000 problems that may affect the Trust, (x) the development of remedies to address the problems discovered in the assessment phase, (y) the testing of such remedies and (z) the preparation of contingency plans to deal with worst case scenarios. Assessment Phase. As part of the internal assessment phase, the Trust has attempted to substantially identify all the major components of the systems described above. In determining the extent to which such systems are vulnerable to the Year 2000 issue, the Trust is evaluating internally developed and/or purchased software applications and property operational control systems, e.g., heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), lighting timers, alarms, fire, sewage and access. In addition, in the third quarter of 1998, the Trust began sending letters to certain of its major suppliers and service providers, requesting them to provide the Trust with assurance of existing or anticipated Year 2000 compliance by their systems insofar as the systems relate to their activities with the Trust. The Trust expects that it will complete its distribution of these inquiries early in the fourth quarter of 1998. The Trust is requesting that all responses to the inquiries be returned to it no later than December 25, 1998. Remediation and Testing Phase. Based upon the assessment and remediation efforts to date, the Trust has completed, tested and put on line the Year 2000 compliance modification in all the internally developed software for its accounting and property management applications. Approximately two-thirds of the Trust's computer terminals or personal computers are Year 2000 compliant. Those that are not compliant have been identified. The Trust has secured software to upgrade that part of the computer that will make it compliant. That part is called the BIOS chip or Basic Input Output System. If there is any unforeseen problem with a particular unit it will be replaced. Replacements are readily available. A conservative, "worst case" scenario is included in the cost estimate. The versions of the purchased software that the Trust uses for spread sheet analysis, database applications, word processing systems and its apartment rent collection system have been tested and are compliant. The outsourced payroll service and the integrated internal input system are compliant. Home office phone, communication and data collection networks are Year 2000 compliant. Home office voice mail and access systems are scheduled for upgrade to Year 2000 compliant by December 25, 1998. Phone systems at other than the home office location are 72.5% Year 2000 compliant. The balance of the phone locations are scheduled to be reviewed and be Year 2000 compliant in 1998 or upgraded in the first quarter of 1999. The cost estimates derived from this assessment are treated as worst case. The Trust's shopping centers are all "open air" type and are simple and very limited in terms of technology. Field systems for shopping center HVAC, sprinkler and lighting are 95.8% reviewed 26 29 and Year 2000 compliant for those systems supplied by the Trust (some are supplied by tenants). The small number of systems not supplied by the Trust are being reviewed and are projected to not have a material impact. All of the 54 apartment communities have had reviews completed and are Year 2000 compliant. All of the six factory outlet centers have had reviews completed and, except for two minor items, are Year 2000 compliant. These two items are a telephone system modification at one property and a report due from an HVAC vendor at another property. Both are expected to be completed by December 31, 1998. Contingency Plans. The Trust intends to develop contingency plans to handle its most reasonably likely worst case Year 2000 scenarios. These have not yet been identified fully. The Trust intends to complete its determination of worst case scenarios after it has received and analyzed responses to substantially all of the inquiries it has made of third parties. Following its analysis, the Trust intends to develop a timetable for completing its contingency plans. Costs Related to the Year 2000 Issue. To date, the Trust has incurred no material costs. Labor, mailing and phone costs attributed to the Year 2000 program are minimal. The Trust currently estimates that to have all systems compliant will incur some additional costs. At this time they appear to range from $40,000 to a conservative, "worst case" of $250,000 in total. These costs may vary plus or minus 20% from the foregoing estimates. Risks Related to the Year 2000 Issue. Although the Trust's Year 2000 efforts are intended to minimize the adverse effects of the Year 2000 issue on the Trust's business and operations, the actual effects of the issue and the success or failure of the Trust's efforts described above cannot be known until the year 2000. Failure by the Trust's major suppliers, and other service providers to address adequately their respective Year 2000 issues in a timely manner (insofar as such issues relate to the Trust's business) could have a material adverse effect on the Trust's business, results of operations and financial condition. However, the Trust believes that such material effect is primarily limited to items of a utility nature furnished by third parties to the Trust and a wide universe of other customers. Included are items such as electricity, natural gas, telephone service and water, all of which are not readily susceptible to alternate sources and which in all likelihood will be available in some form. (c) The Merger Immediately following the consummation of the Merger on September 28, 1998, approximately 88 million shares of New Plan Excel Common Stock were outstanding. Immediately following the consummation of the Merger, former holders of the Trust's Common Shares held approximately 65% of the outstanding shares of New Plan Excel Common Stock. As provided in the Merger Agreement, effective September 28, 1998, the Board of Trustees of the Trust and the Board of Directors of New Plan Excel consist of the six former members of Excel's Board and the nine former members of the Trust's Board. The Merger Agreement provides that the initial quarterly dividend to be paid on the New Plan Excel Common Stock will be at the annualized rate of $1.60 per share ($.40 per share for the first quarter following the Merger) and, after anticipated minimum quarterly increases of at least $.0025 per share, each holder of New Plan Excel Common Stock is expected to received aggregate dividend distributions of 27 30 $1.625 per share for the 12-month period immediately following the initial quarterly dividend payment of $.40 per share. Thereafter, it is anticipated that the quarterly dividend will continue to be increased by a minimum of at least $.0025 per share (which quarterly increases amount to $.01 per share on an annualized basis and effectively increase the annualized dividend rate by $.04 per share for each share held over a 12-month period) until the annualized quarterly dividend on the New Plan Excel Common Stock is at least $1.67 per share. The maintenance of this dividend policy will be subject to various factors, including the discretion of the Board of Directors of New Plan Excel, the exercise by the Board of Directors of New Plan Excel of its duties to the holders of New Plan Excel Common Stock, the ability to pay dividends under applicable law and the effect which the payment of dividends may have from time to time on the maintenance by New Plan Excel of its status as a REIT. The Merger will, for financial accounting purposes, be accounted for as a purchase of Excel by the Trust using the purchase method of accounting. The transaction was completed on September 28, 1998. (d) New Accounting Standards During fiscal 1998, the Trust adopted the provisions of SFAS 128 and SFAS 129. SFAS 129 had no impact on the financial statements. Pursuant to SFAS 128, the Trust restated all per share data to conform with the provisions of that pronouncement (See Note I). During fiscal 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued (i) No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, (ii) No. 131 "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, (iii) No 132 "Employees Disclosure About Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" ("SFAS 132"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, and (iv) No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Management believes that the implementation of SFAS 130, 131, 132 and 133 will not have a material impact on the Trust's financial statements. In addition, during fiscal 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5"), and Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"), each of which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. Also during fiscal 1998, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board released Issue No. 97-11, "Accounting for Internal Costs Relating to Real Estate Property Acquisitions" ("EITF 97-11"), and Issue No. 98-9, "Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim Financial Periods" ("EITF 98-9"). SOP 98-5 requires that certain costs incurred in conjunction with start-up activities be expensed. SOP 98-1 provides guidance on whether the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use should be capitalized or expensed. EITF 97-11 requires that the internal pre-acquisition costs of identifying and acquiring operating property be expensed as incurred. EITF 98-9 requires that contingent revenue not be accrued until a future specified sales target is achieved. Management believes that, when adopted, SOP 98-5 and SOP 98-1 will not have a significant impact on the Trust's financial statements. EITF 97-11 and 98-9 were adopted during fiscal 1998 and did 28 31 not have a material impact on the Trust's financial statements. (e) Results of Operations Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 1998 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 1997 In fiscal 1998, total revenues increased $43.5 million to $250.3 million. The increase was in rental income and related revenues and came from all categories of properties. Interest and dividend income decreased because of lower average investment balances. Operating expenses increased $29.3 million to $156.9 million. Operating costs, real estate and other taxes, and depreciation and amortization increased primarily because of property acquisitions. Interest expense increased $8.6 million to $36.8 million primarily due to a higher level of outstanding unsecured notes and mortgage debt during fiscal 1998. The increase in the provision for doubtful accounts reflects a larger revenue base and a higher level of receivables. Administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue remained constant at 1.1% of revenue compared to fiscal 1997. Net income applicable to Common Shares increased $8.1 million to $84.7 million and earnings per Common Share increased to $1.42 per share (on a fully diluted basis) from $1.30 per share (on a fully diluted basis). The increase is net of $5.9 million of distributions to holders of preferred shares of the Trust. FFO, defined as net income plus depreciation and amortization of real estate, less gains from sales of assets and securities, less distribution requirements with respect to preferred shares of the Trust, increased $20.2 million to $122.2 million. FFO is presented because industry analysts and the Trust consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of performance of REITs. FFO is not a substitute for cash funds generated from operating activities or net income as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as a measure of profitability or liquidity. FFO as defined by the Trust may not be comparable to the definition used by other REITs. During fiscal 1998, distributions declared and paid were $1.475 per Common Share, a $.04 per share increase over fiscal 1997. The most recent distribution declaration for Common Shares was $.3725 per share ($1.49 on an annualized basis). Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 1997 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 1996 In fiscal 1997, total revenues increased $39.2 million to $206.8 million. The increase was in rental income and related revenues and came from properties in the portfolio which were acquired in fiscal 1997 or were owned for less than a full year in fiscal 1996. Interest and dividend income decreased slightly. Operating expenses increased $32.7 million to $127.6 million. Operating costs, real estate and other taxes, and depreciation and amortization increased primarily because of property acquisitions. Interest expense increased $10.7 million to $28.3 million due to a higher level of outstanding debt during fiscal 1997. The increase in the provision for doubtful accounts reflects a larger revenue base and a higher level of receivables. Administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue declined to 1.1% from 1.6% due to increased revenue from newly acquired properties; these costs do not increase in direct proportion to revenue due to economies of scale. Income before (loss)/gain on sale of properties and securities increased $6.9 million to $77 million. During fiscal 1997, three former Nichols stores, in Annville and Hanover, Pennsylvania and 29 32 Lumberton, North Carolina, were sold. Net income applicable to Common Shares increased $6.1 million to $77 million and earnings per Common Share increased to $1.31 per share from $1.25 per share. FFO, defined as net income plus depreciation and amortization of real estate, less gains from sales of assets and securities, less distribution requirements with respect to preferred shares of the Trust, increased $11.9 million to $102 million. FFO is presented because industry analysts and the Trust consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of performance of REITs. FFO is not a substitute for cash funds generated from operating activities or net income as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as a measure of profitability or liquidity. FFO as defined by the Trust may not be comparable to the definition used by others REITs. During fiscal 1997, distributions declared and paid were $1.435 per Common Share, a $.04 per share increase over fiscal 1996. The most recent distribution declaration for Common Shares was $.365 per share which is $1.46 per share on an annualized basis. Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 1996 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 1995 In fiscal 1996, total revenues increased $37 million to $167.6 million. Rental income and related revenues increased $36.4 million to $162.8 million. The increase in rental revenue came primarily from properties in the portfolio which were acquired in fiscal 1996 or were owned for less than a full year in fiscal 1995. In addition, increased revenue from all property categories, apartments, factory outlets and shopping centers, owned prior to fiscal 1995 contributed to the rental revenue increase. Interest and dividend income increased $.7 million due to higher average investment balances. Operating expenses increased $29.3 million to $94.9 million. Operating costs, real estate and other taxes, and depreciation and amortization increased primarily because of property acquisitions. Interest expense increased $10.4 million to $17.6 million due to a higher level of outstanding debt during fiscal 1996. The increase in the provision for doubtful accounts reflects a much larger revenue base and a higher level of receivables. Administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue declined to 1.6% from 1.9% due to increased revenue from newly acquired properties; these costs do not increase in direct proportion to revenue due to economies of scale. Income before gain/(loss) on the sale of properties and securities increased $7.6 million to $70.1 million. During fiscal 1996, a shopping center in Chinoe, Kentucky and two former Nichols stores in Harrisonburg, Virginia and New Bern, North Carolina were sold for a net gain of $.5 million. The $.1 million loss on the sale of securities was due to bonds being called which had been issued at a premium. Net income applicable to Common Shares increased $7.8 million to $70.5 million and earnings per Common Share increased to $1.25 per share from $1.19 per share. FFO, defined as net income plus depreciation and amortization of real estate less net gains from the sale of assets, increased $12.6 million to $90.1 million. FFO is presented because industry analysts and the Trust consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of performance of REITs. FFO is not a substitute for cash funds generated from operating activities or net income as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as a measure of profitability or liquidity. FFO as defined by the Trust may not be comparable to the definition used by others REITs. 30 33 During fiscal 1996, distributions declared and paid were $1.395 per share of beneficial interest, a $.04 per share of beneficial interest increase over the preceding year. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK As of July 31, 1998, the Trust had approximately $99 million of floating rate debt outstanding. The Trust does not believe that the interest rate risk represented by its floating rate debt is material as of that date in relation to the approximately $575 million of total debt outstanding of the Trust and the approximately $1.37 billion market capitalization of the Common Shares. The Trust was not a party to any hedging agreements with respect to its floating rate debt as of July 31, 1998. In the event of a significant increase in interest rates, the Trust would consider entering into hedging agreements with respect to all or a portion of its floating rate debt. Although hedging agreements would enable the Trust to convert floating rate liabilities to fixed rate liabilities, they would expose the Trust to the risk that the counterparties to such hedge agreements may not perform, which could increase the Trust's exposure to rising interest rates. Generally, however, the counterparties to hedging agreements that the Trust would enter into would be major financial institutions. The Trust may borrow additional money with floating interest rates in the future. Increases in interest rates, or the loss of the benefits of any hedging agreements that the Trust may enter into in the future, would increase the Trust's interest expenses, which would adversely affect cash flow and the ability of the Trust to service its debt. If the Trust enters into any hedging agreements in the future, decreases in interest rates thereafter would increase the Trust's interest expenses as compared to the underlying floating rate debt and could result in the Trust making payments to unwind such agreements. As of July 31, 1998, the Trust had no other material exposure to market risk (i.e., foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk). ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA The response to this item is included in Pages F-1 to F-42 attached to this report. ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE Not applicable. PART III ITEM 10.

The Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Trustees the selection of the independent auditors to be employed by the Trust and reviewed generally the Trust's internal and external audits and the results thereof. The Audit Committee held two meetings during fiscal 1998. In connection with the consummation of the Merger, since September 28, 1998, the Trust has not had an Audit Committee. The Board of Trustees does not have a nominating committee or a compensation committee, nor does it have a committee performing the functions of a nominating committee or a compensation committee; the Trustees perform the functions of those committees.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, since September 28, 1998, the Trust has not had a Special Compensation Committee. The Board of Trustees has four Stock Option Committees. As of July 31, 1998, the Trust had three Stock Option Committees to administer the Trust's 1997 Stock Option Plan: (i) a committee consisting of Messrs. Bottorf, Gold, Wetzler and White, which administered the plan with respect to the trustees who also were, as of that date, executive officers of the Trust and, subject to the provisions of such plan, determined the terms of the options granted to such executive officers; (ii) a committee consisting of the entire Board of Trustees as of that date which administered the Plan with respect to certain designated senior officers of the Trust and, subject to the provisions of such plan, determined the terms of the options granted to such officers; and (iii) a committee consisting of Messrs. William Newman and Laubich which administered the Plan with respect to all other employees of the Trust and, subject to the provisions of such plan, selected the employees to participate in the plan and determined the terms of the options granted to participating employees. The first two Stock Option Committees discussed above acted by unanimous written consent on one occasion during the last fiscal year and the last Stock Option Committee discussed above acted by unanimous written consent on two occasions during the last fiscal year. 34 37 As of July 31, 1998, the Trust also had a Stock Option Committee consisting of Messrs. Newman, Gold and Laubich which administered the 1991 Stock Option Plan, the Amended and Restated 1985 Incentive Stock Option Plan and the Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan of the Trust. This committee, subject to the provisions of the 1991 Stock Option Plan, selected the Trustees, officers and employees who were to participate in that plan and determined the terms of their options. This committee acted with respect to the 1991 Stock Option Plan by unanimous written consent on three occasions during the last fiscal year. This committee did not act during the last fiscal year with respect to the Amended and Restated 1985 Incentive Stock Option Plan or the Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan. In connection with the consummation of the Merger, as of September 28, 1998, all outstanding options under the stock option plans of the Trust identified above, whether or not then exercisable, were assumed by New Plan Excel and now represent an option to purchase the same number of shares of New Plan Excel Common Stock, at an exercise price per share equal to the per share exercise price of the Common Shares subject to such options immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger. Each such assumed option is exercisable upon the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the related options under the stock option plans of the Trust. Each of the Stock Option Committees described above continues to administer the plans described above. Trustees' Compensation As of July 31, 1998, the trustees of the Trust who were not employees of the Trust each received $12,500 in annual trustee fees and $500 per meeting. In addition, the Trust reimbursed the trustees for travel expenses incurred in connection with their activities on behalf of the Trust.

(d) Trustees' Report on Executive Compensation The Board of Trustees does not have a compensation committee; thus, it is the duty of the entire Board of Trustees to review compensation plans, programs and policies and to monitor the performance and compensation of executive officers, including the Named Officers, and other key employees. The Board of Trustees does, however, have a Special Compensation Committee, consisting of four of the Trust's non-employee Trustees (Messrs. Bottorf, Gold, Wetzler and White). The Special Compensation Committee reviews the compensation arrangements of Messrs. William Newman, Laubich, Steuterman and Bernstein, the trustees who also were, as of September 25, 1998, executive officers of the Trust. Through September 25, 1998, the Board of Trustees has implemented compensation policies, plans and programs through which it sought to enhance the profitability of the Trust, and thus shareholder value, by aligning closely the financial interests of the Trust's senior managers with those of its shareholders. The Trust's overall objectives were to attract and retain the best possible executive talent, to motivate these executives to achieve the goals inherent in the Trust's business strategy, to link executive and shareholder interests through performance goals and equity based plans, and finally to provide a compensation package that recognizes individual contributions as well as overall business results. In furtherance of these goals, the Board of Trustees historically has compared the Trust to a selected group of REITs that compete in the Trust's shopping center and apartment community business, which the Board of Trustees believed represented the Trust's most direct competitors for executive talent. There were six REITs in that comparison group. Based on the relative size of the Trust in comparison with the peer group, the Board of Trustees positioned executive base salaries at competitive levels relative to the base salaries paid to executive officers of the peer group. The Trust also historically relied on Common Share options as incentive compensation. The Board of Trustees historically conducted a full review of the Trust's compensation program each year. This review included a comparison of the Trust's executive 41 44 compensation, business performance, Common Share appreciation and total return to shareholders to the peer group. The Board of Trustees also reviewed, on an annual basis, a selection of peer REITs used for compensation analysis, because the Board of Trustees believed that the Trust's most direct competitors for executive talent were not necessarily all of the companies that would be included in a peer group established for comparing shareholder returns. The Special Compensation Committee performed the same function and analysis with respect to Messrs. William Newman, Laubich, Steuterman and Bernstein. The key components of the Trust's executive compensation consisted of base salary, annual bonus and Common Share options. The Board of Trustees' historical policies with respect to each of these components are discussed below. In determining compensation, the Board of Trustees historically took into account the individual's full compensation package, including insurance and other benefits, as well as the components described below. The Special Compensation Committee performed the same function and analysis with respect to Messrs. William Newman, Laubich, Steuterman and Bernstein. It should be noted that the Trust currently has a 401(k) retirement plan covering substantially all officers and employees of the Trust. The 401(k) plan permits participants to defer up to a maximum of 10% of their compensation, and the Trust may, at the discretion of the Board of Trustees, make a voluntary contribution to the plan participants. For the last 401(k) plan year (1997), the contribution by the Trust was equal to 3% of each employee's eligible compensation. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998, the Trust's contribution to the 401(k) retirement plan allocated to the Chief Executive Officer was $4,800. Base Salaries Base salaries for executive officers historically were determined by evaluating the responsibilities of the position held and the experience of the individual, and by reference to the competitive marketplace for executive talent, including a comparison to base salaries for comparable positions in the peer group. The base salaries were intended to be fixed at competitive levels relative to the base salaries paid to executive officers with comparable qualifications, experience and responsibilities at other REITs in the comparison peer group. Annual salary adjustments were determined by evaluating the performance of the Trust and of each executive officer, and also taking into account new responsibilities, increases in pay levels of competitors, and such other matters as the Board of Trustees and Special Compensation Committee, as applicable, deemed appropriate. The Board of Trustees and Special Compensation Committee, as applicable, also considered, where appropriate, non-financial performance achievements by the Trust and its employees. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998, Mr. William Newman, the Trust's Chief Executive Officer during the fiscal year, received a base salary of $517,115. In determining the base salary paid to Mr. William Newman, the Special Compensation Committee took into consideration his experience and stature in the real estate community, the base salaries paid to chief executive officers in the comparison peer groups, and the Trust's earnings and returns on shareholder equity. Annual Bonus All of the Trust's executive officers (including the Named Officers) historically were eligible for an annual cash bonus. In determining the amount of annual cash bonuses, if any, to be paid to executive officers, the Board of Trustees and Special Compensation Committee, as applicable, at the end of each fiscal year, reviewed the performance of the Trust and, if appropriate, the Common Shares, during such fiscal year, and non-financial performance measures such as the respective 42 45 executive's performance, effort and role in promoting the long-term strategic growth of the Trust, as well as such other matters as the Board of Trustees and Special Compensation Committee, as applicable, deemed appropriate. The Trust's Chief Executive Officer during fiscal 1998, Mr. William Newman, received an annual bonus of $125,000 for the fiscal year. Share Options Under the Trust's Amended and Restated 1985 Incentive Stock Option Plan, the 1991 Stock Option Plan and the 1997 Stock Option Plan (collectively, the "Option Plans"), all of which were approved by shareholders, options to purchase Common Shares historically could be granted to the Trust's employees, including the Named Officers. The Option Plans are administered by the Stock Option Committee. Awards were based on, among other things, a review of compensation data from the peer group, information on the optionee's total compensation, the optionee's expected future contributions to the Trust's achievement of its long-term performance goals and the Trust's dependence on the optionee's efforts. The Trust historically believed that significant equity interests in the Trust held by management aligned their interests with those of the shareholders. Common Share options generally were granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Common Shares on the date of grant and vested pursuant to schedules set in the grants. Generally, options were not exercisable until at least one year from the date of grant, and thereafter were exercisable annually only as a percentage of the total number of Common Shares covered by the options. The Board of Trustees believed that the vesting schedule gave executives the incentive to create shareholder value over the long term because the full benefit of the compensation package cannot be realized unless Common Share price appreciation occurs over a number of years. In fiscal 1998, stock options to purchase 112,500 Common Shares were granted under the Option Plans to the Trust's Chief Executive Officer during the fiscal year, Mr. William Newman. Conclusion Through the policies described above, a very significant portion of the Trust's executive compensation historically was linked to individual and business performance. However, the changes of the business cycle from time to time may have resulted in an imbalance for a particular period. 43 46 The foregoing report has been furnished as of September 25, 1998 by the Board of Trustees and the Special Compensation Committee.

The following loans were made by the Trust over a number of years primarily to assist the officers in their purchase of Common Shares of the Trust. Such loans are unsecured except as specifically noted. As of July 31, 1998, Arnold Laubich, President and Chief Operating Officer and Trustee as of such date, was indebted to the Trust in the aggregate amount of $25,000 (which amount is $140,000 less than his indebtedness to the Trust as of July 31, 1997). The amount owed is represented by a demand note bearing interest at 6% per annum. As of July 31, 1998, William Kirshenbaum, Vice President and Treasurer as of such date, was indebted to the Trust in the aggregate amount of $378,398 47 50 (which amount is $58,494 less than his indebtedness to the Trust as of July 31, 1997). The amount owed is represented by (i) four demand notes in the aggregate amount of $191,398, each bearing interest at 5% per annum, (ii) two demand notes in the aggregate amount of $17,000, each bearing interest at 8.375% per annum, and (iii) a $170,000 note bearing interest at 6% per annum and due January 31, 2000 (which is collateralized by a mortgage).

The amount owed is represented by two demand notes, each bearing interest at 5% per annum. As of July 31, 1998, James DeCicco, Senior Vice President--Leasing as of such date, was indebted to the Trust in the aggregate amount of $145,174. The amount owed is represented by (i) two demand notes in the aggregate amount of $9,700, each bearing interest at 6% per annum, and (ii) a $135,474 note bearing interest at 8.5% per annum and due October 1, 2024 (which is collateralized by a mortgage). Pursuant to an agreement dated June 3, 1982, Mr. William Newman, as nominee for the Trust, purchased a cooperative apartment at 114 East 72nd Street to be used to further business purposes of the Trust for a price of $290,000. The Trust has paid assessment, taxes and all other payments with respect to the use and upkeep of the apartment, which has primarily been used by Mr. Newman. Such payments totaled approximately $27,800, $26,000 and $20,000 in fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. On September 24, 1998, Mr. Newman exercised his option pursuant to the June 3, 1982 agreement to purchase the apartment for the original $290,000 purchase price. The Trust leases an office building from Page Associates on a net lease basis for a current rent of approximately $184,000 per year (rental payments of approximately $183,000, $180,000 and $178,000 were made to Page Associates in fiscal 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively). The Trust has leased this building from Page Associates since 1974. Page Associates is a partnership owned in equal proportions by William Newman, Melvin Newman, the estate of Joseph Newman and Arnold Laubich. The Trust subleases the office building which it leases from Page Associates and has received rent in excess of all payments made to Page Associates and other real estate expenses in each of the years it has rented the building from Page Associates. (b) Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation The Board of Trustees does not have a Compensation Committee. Consequently, the Board of Trustees performs the functions of such committee; however, as of July 31, 1998, the Special Compensation Committee performed such function with respect to Messrs. William Newman, Laubich, Steuterman and Bernstein. It should be noted, though, that the amount of compensation paid by the Trust to its officers and the respective terms of employment of such officers for the year ended July 31, 1998 were, with the exception of the four above-mentioned individuals, determined primarily by Messrs. William Newman and Laubich, each of whom served as of such date both as a trustee and as an executive officer of the Trust. In addition, the number of options to be granted to the trustees and employees of the Trust under the terms of the Option Plans for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998 was determined by the Option Plans' administrators as of such date, Messrs. William Newman, Laubich and Gold. 48 51 PART IV ITEM 14.

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of New Plan Realty Trust and Subsidiaries as of July 31, 1998 and 1997, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

F-8 63 NEW PLAN REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization and Income Taxes: New Plan Realty Trust was organized July 31, 1972 as a Massachusetts Business Trust. New Plan Realty Trust and subsidiaries (the "Trust") have elected to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Accordingly, the Trust does not pay Federal income tax on income as long as income distributed to shareholders is at least equal to 95% of real estate investment trust taxable income and pays no Federal income tax on capital gains distributed to shareholders. The Trust may be subject to tax by certain states that do not recognize the REIT. Provision for such taxes has been included in real estate and other taxes. Basis of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of New Plan Realty Trust and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Real Estate: Real estate is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 5 to 40 years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. If there is an event or a change in circumstances that indicates that the basis of the Trust's property may not be recoverable the Trust's policy is to assess any impairment in value by making a comparison of the current and projected operating cash flows (excluding interest and income taxes) of the property over its remaining useful life, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying amount of the property. Such carrying amounts would be adjusted, if necessary, to reflect an impairment in the value of the property. The Trust records sales when, among other criteria, the parties are bound by the terms of a contract, all consideration has been exchanged and all conditions precedent to closing have been performed. These conditions are usually met at the time of closing. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in income. New Accounting Standards: During 1998, the Trust adopted the provisions of SFAS 128 and SFAS 129. SFAS 129 had no impact on the financial statements. Pursuant to SFAS 128, the Trust restated all per share data to conform with the provisions of that pronouncement (See Note I). During fiscal 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued (a) No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, (b) No. 131 "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, (c) No. 132 "Employees Disclosure About Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits" ("SFAS 132") which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and (d) No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Management believes that the implementation of SFAS 130, 131, 132 and 133 will not have a material impact on the Trust's financial statements. F-9 64 In addition, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" ("SOP 98-5") and Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1"), which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. Further, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board released Issue No. 97-11, "Accounting for Internal Costs Relating to Real Estate Property Acquisitions" ("EITF 97-11") and Issue No. 98-9, "Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim Financial Periods" ("EITF 98-9"). SOP 98-5 requires that certain costs incurred in conjunction with start-up activities be expensed. SOP 98-1 provides guidance on whether the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use should be capitalized or expensed. EITF 97-11 requires that the internal pre-acquisition costs of identifying and acquiring operating property be expensed as incurred. EITF 98-9 requires that contingent revenue not be accrued until a future specified sales target is achieved. Management believes that, when adopted, SOP 98-5 and SOP 98-1 will not have a significant impact on the Trust's financial statements. EITF 97-11 and 98-9 were adopted during fiscal year 1998 and did not have a material impact on the Trust's financial statements. Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Items classified as cash equivalents include insured bank certificates of deposit and commercial paper. At times cash balances at a limited number of banks may exceed insurable amounts. The Trust believes it mitigates its risk by investing in or through major financial institutions. Recoverability of investments is dependent upon the performance of the issuer. Revenue Recognition: Lease agreements between the Trust and retail tenants generally provide for additional rentals based on such factors as percentage of tenants' sales in excess of specified volumes, increases in real estate taxes, increases in Consumer Price Indices and common area maintenance charges. These additional rentals are generally included in income when reported to the Trust or when billed to tenants. The Trust recognizes rental income from leases with scheduled rent increases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Deferred rent receivable, included in trade and notes receivable, represents the difference between the straight-line rent and amounts currently due. Concentration of Credit Risk: No tenant or single property accounts for more than 5% of the Trust's revenues. Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to depreciable lives, valuation of real estate and the recoverability of mortgage notes and trade accounts receivable. Internal Software Costs: Any costs associated with modifying computer software for the year 2000 are expensed as incurred. Management does not believe future costs to be incurred will be material. F-10 65 NOTE B - MARKETABLE SECURITIES The Trust has classified all investments in equity securities as available-for-sale. All investments are recorded at current market value with an offsetting adjustment to shareholders' equity (Amounts in Thousands).

Scheduled principal payments during each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter are approximately as follows (Amounts in Thousands): Year Ending July 31, Amount - -------------------- ------ 1999 $ 4,240 2000 30,873 2001 9,562 2002 21,707 2003 18,470 Thereafter 29,247 -------- Total $114,099 ======== The Trust has an unsecured revolving credit facility which provides for up to $50 million of debt through November, 1998. At July 31, 1998 there were no amounts outstanding under this facility. At the time of borrowing, the Trust can choose from three interest rate options. There are restrictive covenants that place a ceiling on total indebtedness of 50% of total capital, a ceiling on mortgage indebtedness of 40% of total capital, a ceiling on unsecured indebtedness of 100% of undepreciated real estate assets, a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2 to 1 and a minimum tangible net worth of $1,200,000,000. The Trust has outstanding approximately $40,000 of letters of credit as of July 31, 1998. Interest costs capitalized for the years ended July 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996 were approximately $12,000, $868,000, and $203,000, respectively.

Where applicable, the discount is being amortized over the life of the respective Notes using the effective interest method. Interest is payable semi-annually or quarterly and the principal is due at maturity. Among other restrictive covenants, there is a restrictive covenant that limits the amount of total indebtedness to 65% of total assets. For the year ended July 31, 1998, $387,000 of amortized discount and issuing costs were included in interest expense.

The preferred shares pay dividends quarterly at the rate of 7.8% of the liquidation preference per annum through September 15, 2012 and at the rate of 9.8% of the liquidation preference per annum thereafter. In connection with the issuance of the Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares, 1,500,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/10 fractional interest in a share of cumulative preferred, were sold to the public. The Trust has the following stock option plans (the "Plans") pursuant to which the Trust has granted (and in one instance, may continue to grant) options to purchase Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust (the "Shares") to officers, trustees and certain key employees of the Trust: (i) the 1985 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1985 Plan"), (ii) the March 1991 Stock Option Plan (the "March 1991 Plan"), (iii) the Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Non-Qualified Plan"), (iv) the 1991 Stock Option Plan (the "1991 Plan") and (v) the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "1997 Plan"). The exercise price of a Share pursuant to each of the Plans is or was required (as the case may be) to be no less than the fair market value of a Share on the date of grant. Under the 1985 Plan and the 1991 and 1997 Plans (with the exception of certain option grants of 10,000 Shares or more, as discussed below) and the Non-Qualified Plan, options are exercisable 20% per year commencing one year from the date of grant. In the case of certain option grants of 10,000 Shares or more under the 1991 Plan, such option grants are exercisable 10% after the first anniversary of the date of grant, 25% after the second anniversary of the date of grant, 45% after the third anniversary of the date of grant, 70% after the fourth anniversary of the date of grant and 100% after the fifth anniversary of the date of grant. In the case of the March 1991 Plan, 30% of the options granted are exercisable on the third anniversary of the date of grant and, thereafter, an additional 10% of the granted options are exercisable on a yearly basis. Future option grants can be made only under the 1991 and 1997 Plans. F-14 69 The following table shows the activity and balances for each stock option plan during the fiscal years indicated.

Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for the options described above which were granted on or after August 1, 1995. Had compensation cost for these options been determined based on the fair value on the grant date consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Trust's net earnings and earnings per share of beneficial interest would have been changed to the pro forma amounts shown below. These pro forma adjustments to net income and net income per common share assume fair values of each option grant estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. The more significant assumptions underlying the determination of such fair values for options granted during 1998, 1997 and 1996 include: (i) weighted average risk-free interest rates of 5.87%, 6.66% and 6.4%, respectively; (ii) weighted average expected option lives of 6.5 years, 6.3 years and 6.3 years, respectively; (iii) an expected volatility of 18.25%, 19.3% and 15.79%, respectively, and (iv) an expected dividend yield of 6.14%, 6.12% and 6.12%, respectively. The per share weighted average fair value at the dates of grant for options awarded during 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $2.78, $3.10 and $2.83, respectively.

The price per share of the additional shares to be purchased with invested cash distributions is the midpoint between the day's high and low sales prices on the New York Stock Exchange, less 5%. The Trust has made loans to officers, trustees and employees primarily for the purpose of purchasing its Shares. These loans are demand and term notes bearing interest at rates ranging from 5% to 9.75%. Interest is payable quarterly. F-16 71 NOTE I - NET INCOME PER SHARE OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST On January 31, 1998 the Trust adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 128 "Earnings Per Share". All per share data has been restated to conform to the provisions of FAS 128.

These leases are accounted for as operating leases. The minimum annual rental commitments during the next five fiscal years and thereafter are approximately as follows (Amounts in Thousands): Year Ending July 31, Amount - -------------------- ------ 1999 $ 1,093 2000 1,074 2001 1,070 2002 1,109 2003 1,140 Thereafter 19,237 ------- Total $24,723 ======= F-17 72 For the years ended July 31, 1998 and 1996, the lease for office space included contingent rentals for real estate tax escalations and operating expense in the amount of $10,000 and $100,000, respectively. There were no contingent rentals for the year ended July 31, 1997. In addition, ground leases provide for fixed rent escalations and renewal options. NOTE K - RENTAL INCOME UNDER OPERATING LEASES Minimum future rentals to be received during the next five fiscal years and thereafter with initial or remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year are approximately as follows (Amounts in Thousands): Year Ending July 31, Amount - -------------------- ------ 1999 $128,162 2000 111,972 2001 94,189 2002 80,958 2003 67,270 Thereafter 372,028 -------- Total $854,579 ======== The above table assumes that all leases which expire are not renewed, therefore neither renewal rentals nor rentals from replacement tenants are included. Minimum future rentals do not include contingent rentals, which may be received under certain leases on the basis of percentage of reported tenants' sales volume accounted for under EITF 98-9 (See Summary of Significant Accounting Policies), increases in Consumer Price Indices, common area maintenance charges and real estate tax reimbursements. Contingent rentals included in income for the years ended July 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 amounted to approximately $34,421,000, $28,933,000 and $26,173,000, respectively. NOTE L - PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) The Trust acquired 14 shopping centers and five apartment complexes during the year ended July 31, 1998. The aggregate acquisition cost of these properties included existing mortgages and $105 million in cash. In addition, the Trust completed the merger with Excel Realty Trust during September, 1998 (See Note Q). The pro forma financial information for the years ended July 31, 1998 and 1997 shown below is based on the historical statements of the Trust after giving effect to the aforementioned acquisition of 19 properties and the merger with Excel Realty Trust as if such acquisitions took place on August 1, 1997 and 1996, respectively. F-18 73 The purchase price allocations related to the Excel merger are preliminary and are subject to adjustment based on the results of the various appraisals and analyses of fair values. The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and may not be indicative of results that would have actually occurred had the acquisitions taken place at the dates indicated or of what may occur in the future.

NOTE O - RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN The Trust has a Retirement Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan"). Participants in the Savings Plan may elect to contribute a portion of their earnings to the Savings Plan and the Trust may, at the discretion of the Board of Trustees, make a voluntary contribution to the Savings Plan. For the years ended July 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Trust's expense for the Savings Plan was $317,000, $250,000 and $228,000, respectively.

Marketable securities: Fair value is based on quoted market prices. Mortgages and Notes receivable: The fair value is estimated based on discounting the future cash flows at a year-end risk adjusted lending rate that the Trust would utilize for loans of similar risk and duration. Mortgages payable and Notes payable: The fair value is estimated based on discounting future cash flows at a year-end adjusted borrowing rate which reflects the risks associated with mortgages and notes of similar risk and duration. NOTE Q - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Subsequent to July 31, 1998 the Trust purchased an apartment complex containing 278 units and a single tenant retail property containing approximately 34,000 gross leasable square feet. The properties are located in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. The aggregate purchase price for such properties was approximately $14.2 million. On August 11, 1998 the Trustees declared a cash distribution to shareholders of record of the shares of beneficial interest as of September 1, 1998 in the amount of $.375 per share (approximately $22.5 million) payable on September 11, 1998. On August 11, 1998 the Trustees declared a cash distribution to shareholders of record of the Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares as of September 1, 1998 in the amount of $9.75 per share ($.975 per depositary share, approximately $1.5 million) payable on September 15, 1998. On September 25, 1998, New Plan Realty Trust, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust"), Excel Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("Excel"), and ERT Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Excel ("Sub"), voted to accept an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of May 14, 1998, as amended as of August 7, 1998, providing for the merger of the Sub with and into the Trust and the Trust surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Excel. Subsequently Excel declared a 20% stock dividend and then issued one share of Excel for each of the Trust's outstanding shares of beneficial interest. Immediately following the consummation of the merger, Excel, which was renamed New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc. ("New Plan Excel"), had approximately 88 million common shares outstanding. Holders of the Trust's shares upon consummation of the merger hold approximately 65% of the outstanding common stock of New Plan Excel. The Board of Directors of New Plan Excel consists of the nine (9) current members of the Trust's Board and six (6) members currently on Excel's Board. The dividend policy of New Plan Excel for the first year following the merger is $1.60 per share with anticipated minimum increases of $0.0025 per share per quarter until the current quarterly dividend (expressed as an annual rate) is $1.67 per share. F-21 76 Holders of the Trust's Series A Cumulative Step Up Premium Rate Preferred Shares received an equal amount of Excel's Series D Cumulative Voting Step Up Premium Rate Preferred Stock ("Excel Series D Preferred Stock") with substantially identical terms, except that holders of the Excel Series D Preferred Stock will have the right to vote with the holders of the common stock of New Plan Excel on all matters and for two additional directors of New Plan Excel if the distributions on the Excel Series D Preferred Stock are in arrears for six or more quarterly periods. The merger will, for financial accounting purposes, be accounted for as an acquisition of Excel by New Plan using the purchase method of accounting. The transaction was completed on September 28, 1998. Subsequent to July 31, 1998, the Trust drew down the entire $50 million from its $50 million unsecured line of credit with The Bank of New York, Bank Hapoalim B.M. and Fleet National Bank.
