  Malls(e)


        (a)Properties were sold during the first six months of 1999 and the
           transactions have been recorded in the June 30, 1999 Combined Balance
           Sheet. For purposes of the Pro Forma Combined Statement of
           Operations, the transactions are assumed to have occurred on the
           first day of each period.

        (b)The apartment portfolio, which was sold to one purchaser, consisted
           of the following properties: Somerset Lakes in Indianapolis, IN,
           Steeplechase and Hunter's Creek, both in Cincinnati, OH, Beechlake in
           Durham, NC, Walden Village in Atlanta, GA, Briarwood in Fayetteville,
           NC and Windgate Place and Woodfield Gardens, both in Charlotte, NC.

        (c)The Northwest Malls, which were sold to one purchaser, consisted of
           the following properties: Valley Mall in Yakima, WA, Valley North
           Mall in Wenatchee, WA and Mall 205 and Plaza 205, both in Portland,
           OR.

        (d) Both malls were sold to one purchaser.

        (e)The Southwestern Shopping Malls, which will be sold to one
           purchaser, consist of the following properties: Alexandria Mall in
           Alexandria, LA, Brazos Mall in Lake Jackson, TX, Killeen Mall in
           Killeen, TX, Mesilla Valley Mall in Las Cruces, NM, Shawnee Mall in
           Shawnee, OK and Villa Linda Mall in Santa Fe, NM. Net proceeds
           reflect an estimate of approxomately a $5 million prepayment penalty
           for the Park Plaza Mall in Little Rock, AR, which will not be sold in
           this transaction but is cross collateralized with the aforementioned
           malls. The Pro Forma Financial Statements also assume that the debt
           associated with Park Plaza of approximately $36.9 million will be
           repaid with net proceeds from the sale of the Southwestern Shopping
           Malls at 1.25 times the balance outstanding (approximately $46
           million). The amount of the repayment of the Park Plaza debt in
           excess of the balance outstanding at June 30, 1999 (approximately
           $9.2 million) is used to reduce the mortgage balances assumed on the
           six Southwestern Shopping Malls. Consequently, the debt assumed by
           the purchaser is approximately $115 million. Additionally,
           approximately $11.8 million of cash as of June 30, 1999, which is
           additional collateral for the mortgages securing these malls, will be
           reclassified from restricted to unrestricted cash upon the sale.

2)       For purposes of the December 31, 1998 Pro Forma Combined Statement of
         Operations, $87.5 million of Senior Notes are assumed repaid on January
         1, 1998 as the registrant in August 1998 issued a $90 million note
         payable to repay $87.5 million of the Senior Notes. For purposes of the
         June 30, 1999 Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet, $37.2 million repayment
         of the note payable and $85.9 million repayment of the bank credit
         facility was reflected in the June 30, 1999 historical Combined Balance
         Sheet as the transactions occurred prior to June 30, 1999.

3)       The apartment division general and administrative expenses are
         eliminated on the first day of each period for the Pro Forma Combined
         Statement of Operations, as the entire portfolio was sold. The retail
         division general and administrative expenses are reduced on the first
         day of each period for the Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations.
         The reduction represents the closure of a regional office which will no
         longer be necessary pending the property sales.

4)       As the purchase price for the six Southwestern Shopping Malls was below
         net book value of these malls at June 30, 1999, a $9 million impairment
         loss was recorded as of June 30, 1999. The $9 million impairment loss
         also is included in the 1998 Pro Forma Combined Statement of
         Operations.
