PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
THE COMPANY
Chelsea GCA Realty, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-administered and self-managed
real estate investment trust ("REIT") formed through the merger of The Chelsea
Group ("Chelsea") and Ginsburg Craig Associates ("GCA"). The Company made its
initial public offering of common stock on November 2, 1993 (the "IPO") and
simultaneously became the managing general partner of Chelsea GCA Realty
Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership" or "OP"), a partnership that
owns, develops, redevelops, leases, markets and manages upscale and
fashion-oriented manufacturers' outlet centers. At the end of 1999, the Company
owned and operated 19 centers (the "Properties") with approximately 5.2 million
square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA") in 11 states. At December 31, 1999,
the Company had approximately 424,000 square feet of wholly-owned new GLA under
construction, comprising the 232,000 square foot first phase of Allen Premium
Outlets (Allen, Texas - located on US Highway 75 approximately 30 miles north of
Dallas), the 104,000 square-foot third phase of Leesburg Corner and expansions
totaling 88,000 square feet at two centers; these openings and expansions are
part of a total of approximately 550,000 square feet of wholly-owned new space
scheduled for completion in 2000. Additionally, construction is underway on
Orlando Premium Outlets ("OPO"), a 430,000 square-foot upscale outlet center
located on Interstate 4 midway between Walt Disney World/EPCOT and Sea World in
Orlando, Florida and phase one of Gotemba Premium Outlets ("GPO") a 220,000
square foot center located in Gotemba, outside of Tokyo, Japan. OPO is a joint
venture project between the Company and Simon Property Group, Inc. ("Simon") and
is scheduled to open as a single phase in mid-2000. GPO is a joint venture
project 40% owned by the Company and 30% each by Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd. and
Nissho Iwai Corporation, and is scheduled to open mid-2000. The Company's
existing portfolio includes properties in or near New York City, Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Sacramento, Boston, Portland (Oregon), Atlanta, Washington DC,
Cleveland, Honolulu, Napa Valley, Palm Springs and the Monterey Peninsula.
The Company's executive offices are located at 103 Eisenhower Parkway, Roseland,
New Jersey 07068 (telephone 973-228-6111). The Company was incorporated in
Maryland on August 24, 1993.
The Company is taxed as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code. The Company generally will not be taxed at the corporate level on income
it currently distributes to its shareholders, provided it distributes at least
95% of its taxable income each year.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Between January 1, 1999 and December 31, 1999, the Company added 340,000 square
feet of GLA to its portfolio as a result of four expansions.

The most recent newly developed or expanded centers are discussed below:
WRENTHAM VILLAGE PREMIUM OUTLETS, WRENTHAM, MASSACHUSETTS. Wrentham Village
Premium Outlets, a 473,000 square foot center containing 125 stores, opened in
three phases in October 1997, May 1998 and May 1999. The center is located near
the junction of Interstates 95 and 495 between Boston and Providence. The

populations within a 30-mile, 60-mile and 100-mile radius are approximately 2.4
million, 7.1 million and 9.8 million, respectively. Average household income
within a 30-mile radius is approximately $78,000.
CAMARILLO PREMIUM OUTLETS, CAMARILLO, CALIFORNIA. Camarillo Premium Outlets, a
454,000 square foot center containing 124 stores, opened in eight phases, from
March 1995 through November 1999. The center is located 48 miles north of Los
Angeles, about 55 miles south of Santa Barbara on Highway 101. The populations
within a 30-mile, 60-mile and 100-mile radius are approximately 1.1 million, 8.3
million and 14.6 million, respectively. Average household income within a
30-mile radius is approximately $66,000.
The Company has started construction on approximately 424,000 square feet of
wholly-owned new GLA scheduled for completion in 2000, including the 232,000
square-foot first phase of Allen Premium Outlets, the 104,000 square-foot third
phase of Leesburg Corner and expansions totaling 88,000 square feet at two
centers. In addition construction is well underway on two joint venture
projects, Orlando Premium Outlets, a 430,000 square-foot center located in
Orlando, Florida and the 220,000 square-foot first phase of Gotemba Premium
Outlets, located outside Tokyo, Japan. These projects, and others, are in
various stages of development and there can be no assurance they will be
completed or opened, or that there will not be delays in opening or completion.
STRATEGIC ALLIANCE AND JOINT VENTURES
In June 1999, the Company signed a definitive agreement with Mitsubishi Estate
Co., Ltd. and Nissho Iwai Corporation to jointly develop, own and operate
premium outlet centers in Japan. The joint venture, known as Chelsea Japan Co.,
Ltd. ("Chelsea Japan") is developing its initial project in the city of Gotemba.
In conjunction with the agreement, the Company contributed $1.7 million in
equity. In addition, an equity investee of the Company entered into a 4 billion
yen (US $40 million) line of credit guaranteed by the Company and OP to fund its
share of construction costs. At December 31, 1999, no amounts were outstanding
under the loan. In December 1999, construction began on the 220,000 square-foot
first phase of Gotemba Premium Outlets with opening scheduled for mid-2000.
Gotemba is located on the Tomei Expressway, approximately 60 miles west of Tokyo
and midway between Mt. Fuji and the Hakone resort area. Subject to governmental
and other approvals, Chelsea Japan also expects to announce during the next
quarter a project outside Osaka, the second-largest city in Japan, to open in
late 2000.
In May 1997, the Company announced the formation of a strategic alliance with
Simon to develop and acquire high-end outlet centers with GLA of 500,000 square
feet or more in the United States. The Company and Simon are co-managing general
partners, each with 50% ownership of the joint venture and any entities formed
with respect to specific projects; the Company will have primary responsibility
for the day-to-day activities of each project. In conjunction with the alliance,
on June 16, 1997, the Company completed the sale of 1.4 million shares of common
stock to Simon for an aggregate price of $50 million. Proceeds from the sale
were used to repay borrowings under the Credit Facilities. Simon is one of the
largest publicly traded real estate companies in North America as measured by
market capitalization, and at February 2000 owned, had an interest in and/or
managed approximately 184 million square feet of retail and mixed-use properties
in 36 states.
The Company announced in October 1998 that it sold its interest in and
terminated the development of Houston Premium Outlets, a joint venture project
with Simon. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will receive
non-compete payments totaling $21.4 million from The Mills Corporation; $3.0
million was received at closing, and four annual installments of $4.6 million
are to be received on each January 2, through 2002. The Company has also been
reimbursed for its share of land costs, development costs and fees related to
the project.
Construction is underway on Orlando Premium Outlets ("OPO"), a 430,000
square-foot upscale outlet center located on Interstate 4 midway between Walt
Disney World/EPCOT and Sea World in Orlando, Florida. OPO is a joint venture
project between the Company and Simon and is scheduled to open as a single phase
in mid-2000. In February 1999, the joint venture entered into a $82.5 million
construction loan agreement that is expected to fund approximately 75% of the
project costs. The loan is 50% guaranteed by each of the Company and Simon and
as of December 31, 1999, $20.8 million was outstanding.
ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY
The Company was organized to combine Chelsea and GCA, two leading outlet center
development companies, into the Operating Partnership, providing for greater
access to the public and private capital markets. Virtually all of the Company's
assets are held by and all of its business activities conducted through the
Operating Partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating
Partnership (which owned 82.6% in the Operating Partnership as of December 31,
1999) and has full and complete control over the management of the Operating
Partnership and each of the Properties, excluding joint ventures.
THE MANUFACTURERS' OUTLET BUSINESS
Manufacturers' outlets are manufacturer-operated retail stores that sell
primarily first-quality, branded goods at significant discounts from regular
department and specialty store prices. Manufacturers' outlet centers offer
numerous advantages to both consumer and manufacturer: by eliminating the third
party retailer, manufacturers are often able to charge customers lower prices
for brand name and designer merchandise; manufacturers benefit by being able to
sell first quality in-season, as well as out-of-season, overstocked or
discontinued merchandise without compromising their relationships with
department stores or hampering the manufacturers' brand name. In addition,
outlet stores enable manufacturers to optimize the size of production runs while
maintaining control of their distribution channels.
BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
The Company believes its strong tenant relationships, high-quality property
portfolio and managerial expertise give it significant advantages in the
manufacturers' outlet business.
STRONG TENANT RELATIONSHIPS. The Company maintains strong tenant relationships
with high-fashion, upscale manufacturers that have a selective presence in the
outlet industry, such as Armani, Brooks Brothers, Cole Haan, Donna Karan,
Gap/Banana Republic, Gucci, Jones New York, Nautica, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy
Hilfiger and Versace, as well as with national brand-name manufacturers such as
Adidas, Carter's, Nike, Phillips-Van Heusen (Bass, Izod, Gant, Van Heusen),
Timberland and Sara Lee (Champion, Hanes, Coach Leather). The Company believes
that its ability to draw from both groups is an important factor in providing
broad customer appeal and higher tenant sales.
HIGH QUALITY PROPERTY PORTFOLIO. The Properties generated weighted average
reported tenant sales during 1999 of $377 per square foot, the highest in the
industry. As a result, the Company has been successful in attracting some of the
world's most sought-after brand-name designers, manufacturers and retailers and
each year has added new names to the outlet business and its centers. The
Company believes that the quality of its centers gives it significant advantages
in attracting customers and negotiating multi-lease transactions with tenants.
MANAGEMENT EXPERTISE. The Company believes it has a competitive advantage in the
manufacturers' outlet business as a result of its experience in the business,
long-standing relationships with tenants and expertise in the development and
operation of manufacturers' outlet centers. Management developed a number of the
earliest and most successful outlet centers in the industry, including Liberty
Village (one of the first manufacturers' outlet centers in the U.S.) in 1981,
Woodbury Common in 1985, and Desert Hills and Aurora Farms in 1990. Since the
IPO, the Company has added significantly to its senior management in the areas
of development, leasing and property management without increasing general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues; additionally, the
Company intends to continue to invest in systems and controls to support the
planning, coordination and monitoring of its activities.
GROWTH STRATEGY
The Company seeks growth through increasing rents in its existing centers;
developing new centers and expanding existing centers; and acquiring and
re-developing centers.
INCREASING RENTS AT EXISTING CENTERS. The Company's leasing strategy includes
aggressively marketing available space and maintaining a high level of
occupancy; providing for inflation-based contractual rent increases or periodic
fixed contractual rent increases in substantially all leases; renewing leases at
higher base rents per square foot; re-tenanting space occupied by
underperforming tenants; and continuing to sign leases that provide for
percentage rents.
DEVELOPING NEW CENTERS AND EXPANDING EXISTING CENTERS. The Company believes that
there continue to be significant opportunities to develop manufacturers' outlet
centers across the United States. The Company intends to undertake such
development selectively, and believes that it will have a competitive advantage
in doing so as a result of its development expertise, tenant relationships and
access to capital. The Company expects that the development of new centers and
the expansion of existing centers will continue to be a substantial part of its
growth strategy. The Company believes that its development experience and strong
tenant relationships enable it to determine site viability on a timely and
cost-effective basis. However, there can be no assurance that any development or
expansion projects will be commenced or completed as scheduled.
INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT. The Company intends to develop, own and operate
premium outlet centers in Japan through its joint venture company, Chelsea Japan
Co., Ltd. Chelsea Japan is currently developing its first outlet center in
Gotemba, located outside Tokyo, and is seeking governmental approval on another
site outside Osaka, Japan. The Company believes that there are significant
opportunities to develop manufacturers' outlet centers in Japan and intends to
pursue these opportunities as viable sites are identified.
The Company has minority interests ranging from 5 to 15% in several outlet
centers and outlet development projects in Europe. Two outlet centers, Bicester
Village outside of London, England and La Roca Company Stores outside of
Barcelona, Spain, are currently open and operated by Value Retail PLC and its
affiliates. Three new European projects and expansions of the two existing
centers are in various stages of development and are expected to open within the
next two years. The Company's total investment in Europe as of February 2000 is
approximately $4.5 million. The Company has also agreed to provide up to $22
million in limited debt service guarantees under a standby facility for loans
arranged by Value Retail PLC to construct outlet centers in Europe. The term of
the standby facility is three years and guarantees shall not be outstanding for
longer than five years after project completion. As of February 2000, the
Company has provided limited debt service guarantees of approximately $20
million for three projects.
ACQUIRING AND REDEVELOPING CENTERS. The Company intends to selectively acquire
individual properties and portfolios of properties that meet its strategic
investment criteria as suitable opportunities arise. The Company believes that
its extensive experience in the outlet center business, access to capital
markets, familiarity with real estate markets and advanced management systems
will allow it to evaluate and execute acquisitions competitively. Furthermore,
management believes that the Company will be able to enhance the operation of
acquired properties as a result of its (i) strong tenant relationships with both
national and upscale fashion retailers; and (ii) development, marketing and
management expertise as a full-service real estate organization. Additionally,
the Company may be able to acquire properties on a tax-advantaged basis through
the issuance of Operating Partnership units. However, there can be no assurance
that any acquisitions will be consummated or, if consummated, will result in an
advantageous return on investment for the Company.
OPERATING STRATEGY
The Company's primary business objective is to enhance the value of its
properties and operations by increasing cash flow. The Company plans to achieve
these objectives through continuing efforts to improve tenant sales and
profitability, and to enhance the opportunity for higher base and percentage
rents.
LEASING. The Company pursues an active leasing strategy through long-standing
relationships with a broad range of tenants including manufacturers of men's,
women's and children's ready-to-wear, lifestyle apparel, footwear, accessories,
tableware, housewares, linens and domestic goods. Key tenants are placed in
strategic locations to draw customers into each center and to encourage shopping
at more than one store. The Company continually monitors tenant mix, store size,
store location and sales performance, and works with tenants to improve each
center through re-sizing, re-location and joint promotion.
MARKET AND SITE SELECTION. To ensure a sound long-term customer base, the
Company generally seeks to develop sites near densely-populated, high-income
metropolitan areas, and/or at or near major tourist destinations. While these
areas typically impose numerous restrictions on development and require
compliance with complex entitlement and regulatory processes, the Company
believes that these areas provide the most attractive long-term demographic
characteristics. The Company generally seeks to develop sites that can support
at least 400,000 square feet of GLA and that offer the long-term opportunity to
dominate their respective markets through a critical mass of tenants.
MARKETING. The Company pursues an active, property-specific marketing strategy
using a variety of media including newspapers, television, radio, billboards,
regional magazines, guide books and direct mailings. The centers are marketed to
tour groups, conventions and corporations; additionally, each property
participates in joint destination marketing efforts with other area attractions
and accommodations. Virtually all consumer marketing expenses incurred by the
Company are reimbursable by tenants.
PROPERTY DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT. The Company believes that effective property
design and management are significant factors in the success of its properties
and works continually to maintain or enhance each center's physical plant,
original architectural theme and high level of on-site services. Each property
is designed to be compatible with its environment and is maintained to high
standards of aesthetics, ambiance and cleanliness in order to promote longer
visits and repeat visits by shoppers. Of the Company's 388 full-time and 99
part-time employees, 286 full-time and 97 part-time employees are involved in
on-site maintenance, security, administration and marketing. Centers are
generally managed by an on-site property manager with oversight from a regional
operations director.
FINANCING
The Company seeks to maintain a strong, flexible financial position by: (i)
maintaining a conservative level of leverage, (ii) extending and sequencing debt
maturity dates, (iii) managing floating interest rate exposure and (iv)
maintaining liquidity. Management believes these strategies will enable the
Company to access a broad array of capital sources, including bank or
institutional borrowings, secured and unsecured debt and equity offerings.
On September 3, 1999, the OP completed a private sale of $65 million of Series B
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units ("Preferred Units") to an institutional
investor. The private placement took the form of 1.3 million Preferred Units at
a stated value of $50 each. The Preferred Units may be called at par on or after
September 3, 2004, have no stated maturity or mandatory redemption and pay a
cumulative quarterly dividend at an annualized rate of 9.0%. The Preferred Units
are exchangeable into Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock of the
Company after ten years. Proceeds from the sale were used to pay down borrowings
under the Senior Credit Facility.
In November 1998, the OP obtained a $60 million term loan that expires April
2000 and bears interest at a rate of London Interbank Offerered Rate (LIBOR)
plus 1.40% (7.53% at December 31, 1999). Proceeds from the loan were used to pay
down borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. The Company is currently
exploring several refinancing alternatives including an extension or payoff of
this loan.
On March 30, 1998, the OP replaced its two unsecured bank revolving lines of
credit, totaling $150 million (the "Credit Facilities"), with a $160 million
senior unsecured bank line of credit (the "Senior Credit Facility"). The Senior
Credit Facility expires on March 30, 2002 and the OP has an annual right to
request a one-year extension of the Senior Credit Facility which may be granted
at the option of the lenders. The OP has requested and expects approval to
extend the Facility until March 30, 2003. The Facility bears interest on the
outstanding balance, payable monthly, at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.05% (7.24% at
December 31, 1999) or the prime rate, at the OP's option. The LIBOR rate spread
ranges from 0.85% to 1.25% depending on the Company's Senior Debt rating. A fee
on the unused portion of the Senior Credit Facility is payable quarterly at
rates ranging from 0.15% to 0.25% depending on the balance outstanding. At
December 31, 1999, $94 million was available under the Senior Credit Facility.
Also on March 30, 1998, the OP entered into a $5 million term loan (the "Term
Loan") which carries the same interest rate and maturity as the Senior Credit
Facility. The Lender has credit committee approval to extend the Term Loan to
March 30, 2003.
In October 1997, the OP completed a $125 million offering of 7.25% unsecured
term notes due October 2007 (the "7.25% Notes"). The 7.25% Notes were priced to
yield 7.29% to investors. Net proceeds from the offering were used to repay
substantially all borrowings under the Company's Credit Facilities, redeem $40
million of Reset Notes and for general corporate purposes.
In October 1997, the Company issued 1.0 million shares of non-voting 8.375%
Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"), par
value $0.01 per share, with a liquidation preference of $50.00 per share. The
Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and is not convertible into any other
securities of the Company. The Preferred Stock is redeemable on or after October
15, 2027 at the Company's option. Net proceeds from the offering were used to
repay borrowings under the Company's Credit Facilities.
In January 1996, the OP completed a $100 million offering of 7.75% unsecured
term notes due January 2001 (the "7.75% Notes"), which are guaranteed by the
Company. The five-year non-callable 7.75% Notes were priced to yield 7.85% to
investors.
COMPETITION
The Properties compete for retail consumer spending on the basis of the diverse
mix of retail merchandising and value oriented pricing. Manufacturers' outlet
centers have established a niche capitalizing on consumers' desire for
value-priced goods. The Properties compete for customer spending with other
outlet locations, traditional shopping malls, off-price retailers, and other
retail distribution channels. The Company believes that the Properties generally
are the leading manufacturers' outlet centers in each market. The Company
carefully considers the degree of existing and planned competition in each
proposed market before deciding to build a new center.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company is not aware of any environmental liabilities relating to the
Properties that would have a material impact on the Company's financial position
and results of operations.
PERSONNEL
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had 388 full-time and 99 part-time
employees. None of the employees are subject to any collective bargaining
agreements, and the Company believes it has good relations with its employees.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Properties are upscale, fashion-oriented manufacturers' outlet centers
located near large metropolitan areas, including New York City, Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Boston, Washington DC, Atlanta, Sacramento, Portland (Oregon), and
Cleveland, or at or near tourists destinations, including Honolulu, Napa Valley,
Palm Springs and the Monterey Peninsula. The Properties were 99% leased as of
December 31, 1999 and contained approximately 1,400 stores with approximately
450 different tenants. During 1999 and 1998, the Properties generated weighted
average tenant sales of $377 and $360 per square foot, respectively. As of
December 31, 1999, the Company had 19 operating outlet centers. Of the 19
operating centers, 18 are owned 100% in fee; and one, American Tin Cannery
Premium Outlets, is held under a long-term lease. The Company manages all of its
Properties.
Approximately 34% and 35% of the Company's revenues for the years ended December
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, were derived from the Company's two centers
with the highest revenues, Woodbury Common Premium Outlets and Desert Hills
Premium Outlets. The loss of either center or a material decrease in revenues
from either center for any reason might have a material adverse effect on the
Company. In addition, approximately 30% and 34% of the Company's revenues for
the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, were derived from the
Company's centers in California, including Desert Hills.
The Company does not consider any single store lease to be material; no
individual tenant, combining all of its store concepts, accounts for more than
5% of the Company's gross revenues or total GLA; and only two tenants occupy
more than 4% of the Company's total GLA. As a result, and considering the
Company's past success in re-leasing available space, the Company believes the
loss of any individual tenant would not have a significant effect on future
operations.

31,1999:

NOTES TO SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA:
(1) The earnings per share amounts prior to 1997 have been restated as required
to comply with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
EARNINGS PER SHARE. For further discussion of earnings per share and the
impact of Statement No. 128, see the notes to the consolidated financial
statements beginning on page F-6.
(2) Management considers funds from operations ("FFO") an appropriate measure
of performance for an equity real estate investment trust. FFO does not
represent net income or cash flow from operations as defined by generally
accepted accounting principles and should not be considered an alternative
to net income as an indicator of operating performance or to cash from
operations, and is not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to
fund cash needs. See Management's Discussion and Analysis for definition of
FFO.
(3) GLA weighted by months in operation.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in connection with the financial
statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this annual report.
Certain comparisons between periods have been made on a percentage or weighted
average per square foot basis. The latter technique adjusts for square footage
changes at different times during the year.
GENERAL OVERVIEW
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company operated 19 manufacturers' outlet
centers, compared to 20 at the end of 1997. The Company's operating gross
leasable area ("GLA") at December 31, 1999 was 5.2 million square feet compared
to 4.9 million square feet and 4.3 million square feet at December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively.
From January 1, 1997 to December 31, 1999, the Company grew by increasing rents
at its operating centers, opening two new centers, acquiring one center and
expanding nine centers. The 1.6 million square feet ("sf") of net GLA added is
detailed as follows:

NOTE: (1) Average GLA weighted by months in operation
The Company's centers produced weighted average reported tenant sales of
approximately $377 per square foot in 1999 and $360 per square foot in 1998 and
1997.
Two of the Company's centers, Woodbury Common and Desert Hills, generated
approximately 34%, 35% and 34% of the Company's total revenue for the years
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. In addition, approximately 30%, 34%, and 38%
of the Company's revenues for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, were derived from the Company's centers in California, including
Desert Hills.
The Company does not consider any single store lease to be material; no
individual tenant, combining all of its store concepts, accounts for more than
5% of the Company's gross revenues or total GLA; and only two tenants occupy
more than 4% of the Company's total GLA. In view of these statistics and the
Company's past success in re-leasing available space, the Company believes the
loss of any individual tenant would not have a significant effect on future
operations.
The discussion below is based upon operating income before minority interest and
extraordinary item. The minority interest in net income varies from period to
period as a result of changes in Operating Partnership interests and the
Company's 50% investment in Solvang prior to June 30, 1997.
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
Operating income before interest, depreciation and amortization increased $18.6
million, or 19.8%, to $112.2 million in 1999 from $93.6 million in 1998. This
increase was primarily the result of expansions and a new center opening during
1999 and 1998.
Base rentals increased $12.2 million, or 14.1%, to $98.8 million in 1999 from
$86.6 million in 1998 due to expansions, a new center opening in 1998 and higher
average rents. Base rental revenue per weighted average square foot increased to
$19.79 in 1999 from $18.77 in 1998 as a result of higher rental rates on new
leases and renewals.
Percentage rents increased $2.3 million, or 16.9%, to $15.7 million in 1999 from
$13.4 million in 1998. The increase was primarily due to a new center opening in
1998, expansions of existing centers and increase in tenants contributing
percentage rents.
Expense reimbursements, representing contractual recoveries from tenants of
certain common area maintenance, operating, real estate tax, promotional and
management expenses, increased $4.4 million, or 12.5%, to $39.7 million in 1999
from $35.3 million in 1998, due to the recovery of operating and maintenance
costs from increased GLA. On a weighted average square foot basis, expense
reimbursements increased 3.9% to $7.96 in 1999 from $7.66 in 1998. The average
recovery of reimbursable expenses was 90.8% in 1999 compared to 91.3% in 1998.
Other income increased $4.7 million to $8.7 million in 1999 from $4.0 million in
1998. The increase was primarily due to income from the agreement not to compete
with the Mills Corporation in the Houston, Texas area.
Interest, in excess of amounts capitalized, increased $4.2 million to $24.2
million in 1999 from $20.0 million in 1998, due to higher debt balances from
increased GLA in operation.
Operating and maintenance expenses increased $5.1 million, or 13.1%, to $43.8
million in 1999 from $38.7 million in 1998. The increase was primarily due to
costs related to increased GLA. On a weighted average square foot basis,
operating and maintenance expenses increased 4.4% to $8.76 in 1999 from $8.39 in
1998 as a result of increased real estate tax and promotion costs.
General and administrative expenses remained stable at $4.8 million during 1999
and 1998.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $7.2 million to $39.7 million in
1999 from $32.5 million in 1998. The increase was due to depreciation of
expansions and a new center opened in 1998.
The loss on writedown of assets of $0.7 million in 1999 and $15.7 million in
1998 was attributable to the re-valuation of two centers held for sale at their
estimated fair values and the write-off of pre-development costs of an abandoned
site.
Other expenses remained stable at $2.1 million during 1999 and 1998.
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
Operating income before interest, depreciation and amortization increased $18.2
million, or 24.2%, to $93.6 million in 1998 from $75.4 million in 1997. This
increase was primarily the result of expansions and new center openings during
1997 and 1998.
Base rentals increased $15.9 million, or 22.5%, to $86.6 million in 1998 from
$70.7 million in 1997 due to expansions, new center openings in 1997 and 1998,
one acquired center and higher average rents. Base rental revenue per weighted
average square foot increased to $18.77 in 1998 from $17.97 in 1997 as a result
of higher rental rates on new leases and renewals.
Percentage rents increased $2.6 million, or 23.5%, to $13.4 million in 1998 from
$10.8 million in 1997. The increase was primarily due to a new center opening in
1997, increased tenant sales and a higher number of tenants contributing
percentage rents.
Expense reimbursements, representing contractual recoveries from tenants of
certain common area maintenance, operating, real estate tax, promotional and
management expenses, increased $6.3 million, or 21.9%, to $35.3 million in 1998
from $29.0 million in 1997, due to the recovery of operating and maintenance
costs from increased GLA. On a weighted average square foot basis, expense
reimbursements increased 4.1% to $7.66 in 1998 from $7.36 in 1997. The average
recovery of reimbursable expenses was 91.3% in 1998 compared to 92.2% in 1997.
Other income increased $1.1 million to $4.0 million in 1998 from $2.9 million in
1997. The increase was due to income from the agreement not to compete with the
Mills Corporation in the Houston, Texas area and a $0.3 million increase in
outparcel income during 1998.
Interest, in excess of amounts capitalized, increased $4.6 million to $20.0
million in 1998 from $15.4 million in 1997, due to higher debt balances from
increased GLA in operation.
Operating and maintenance expenses increased $7.3 million, or 23.2%, to $38.7
million in 1998 from $31.4 million in 1997. The increase was primarily due to
costs related to increased GLA. On a weighted average square foot basis,
operating and maintenance expenses increased 5.0% to $8.39 in 1998 from $7.99 in
1997 as a result of increased real estate tax and promotion costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $7.5 million to $32.5 million in
1998 from $25.0 million in 1997. The increase was due to depreciation of
expansions and new centers opened in 1997 and 1998.
General and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million to $4.8 million in
1998 from $3.8 million in 1997. On a weighted average square foot basis, general
and administrative expenses increased 8.2% to $1.05 in 1998 from $0.97 in 1997
primarily due to increased personnel, overhead costs and accrual for deferred
compensation.
The loss on writedown of assets of $15.7 million in 1998 was attributable to the
re-valuation of two centers held for sale at their estimated fair values and the
write-off of pre-development costs of an abandoned site.
Other expenses decreased $0.4 million to $2.2 million in 1998 from $2.6 million
in 1997. The decrease was primarily due to recoveries of bad debts previously
written off.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company believes it has adequate financial resources to fund operating
expenses, distributions, and planned development and construction activities.
Operating cash flow in 1999 of $87.6 million is expected to increase with a full
year of operations of the 340,000 square feet of GLA added during 1999 and
scheduled openings of approximately 853,000 square feet in 2000, which includes
the Company's 50% ownership share in Orlando Premium Outlets and 40% ownership
share in Gotemba Premium Outlets. The Company has adequate funding sources to
complete and open all of its current development projects through the use of
available cash of $8.9 million; construction loans for the Orlando and Allen
projects; a yen denominated line of credit for the Company's share of projects
in Japan; and approximately $90 million available under its Senior Credit
Facility. Chelsea also has the ability to access the public markets through its
$175 million debt shelf registration and if current market conditions become
favorable through its $200 million equity shelf registration.
Operating cash flow is expected to provide sufficient funds for dividends and
distributions in accordance with REIT federal income tax requirements. In
addition, the Company anticipates retaining sufficient operating cash to fund
re-tenanting and lease renewal tenant improvement costs, as well as capital
expenditures to maintain the quality of its centers.
Common distributions declared and recorded in 1999 were $55.2 million or $2.88
per share or unit. The Company's 1999 distribution payout ratio as a percentage
of net income before minority interest, loss on writedown of assets and
depreciation and amortization, exclusive of amortization of deferred financing
costs, ("FFO") was 69%. The Senior Credit Facility limits aggregate dividends
and distributions to the lesser of (i) 90% of FFO on an annual basis or (ii)
100% of FFO for any two consecutive quarters.
On September 3, 1999, the OP completed a private sale of $65 million of Series B
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units ("Preferred Units") to an institutional
investor. The private placement took the form of 1.3 million Preferred Units at
a stated value of $50 each. The Preferred Units may be called at par on or after
September 3, 2004, have no stated maturity or mandatory redemption and pay a
cumulative quarterly dividend at an annualized rate of 9.0%. The Preferred Units
are not convertible to any other securities of the OP or Company. Proceeds from
the sale were used to pay down borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility.
On March 30, 1998, the OP replaced its two unsecured bank revolving lines of
credit, totaling $150 million (the "Credit Facilities"), with a new $160 million
senior unsecured bank line of credit (the "Senior Credit Facility"). The Senior
Credit Facility expires on March 30, 2002 and the OP has an annual right to
request a one-year extension of the Senior Credit Facility which may be granted
at the option of the lenders. The OP has requested and expects approval to
extend the Facility until March 30, 2003. The Facility bears interest on the
outstanding balance, payable monthly, at a rate equal to the London Interbank
Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.05% (7.24% at December 31, 1999) or the prime
rate, at the OP's option. The LIBOR spread ranges from 0.85% to 1.25% depending
on the Operating Partnership's Senior Debt rating. A fee on the unused portion
of the Senior Credit Facility is payable quarterly at rates ranging from 0.15%
to 0.25% depending on the balance outstanding.
In November 1998, the OP obtained a $60 million term loan which expires April
2000 and bears interest on the outstanding balance at a rate equal to LIBOR plus
1.40% (7.53% at December 31, 1999). Proceeds from the loan were used to pay down
borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. The Company is currently exploring
several refinancing alternatives including extension and payoff of this loan.
The Company is in the process of planning development for 2000 and beyond. At
December 31, 1999, approximately 424,000 square feet of the Company's planned
2000 development was under construction, including the 232,000 square foot
first phase of Allen Premium Outlets (Allen, Texas - located on US Highway 75
approximately 30 miles north of Dallas), the 104,000 square foot third phase of
Leesburg Corner and expansions totaling 88,000 square feet at two other centers.
These projects are under development and there can be no assurance that they
will be completed or opened, or that there will not be delays in opening or
completion. Excluding separately financed joint venture projects, the Company
anticipates 2000 development and construction costs of $40 million to $50
million. Funding is currently expected from borrowings under the Senior Credit
Facility, additional debt offerings, and/or equity offerings, except Allen
Premium Outlets. In February 2000, an affiliate of the Company entered into a
$40 million construction loan agreement that is expected to fund approximately
75% of the costs of the Allen project. The loan is guaranteed by the OP.
Construction is also underway on Orlando Premium Outlets ("OPO"), a 430,000
square-foot upscale outlet center located on Interstate 4 midway between Walt
Disney World/EPCOT and Sea World in Orlando, Florida. OPO is a joint venture
project between the Company and Simon and is scheduled to open as a single phase
in mid-2000. In February 1999, the joint venture entered into a $82.5 million
construction loan agreement that is expected to fund approximately 75% of the
costs of the project. The loan is 50% guaranteed by each of the Company and
Simon and as of December 31, 1999, $20.8 million was outstanding.
In June 1999, the Company signed a definitive agreement with Mitsubishi Estate
Co., Ltd. and Nissho Iwai Corporation to jointly develop, own and operate
premium outlet centers in Japan. The joint venture, known as Chelsea Japan Co.,
Ltd. ("Chelsea Japan") intends to develop its initial project in the city of
Gotemba. In conjunction with the agreement, the Company contributed $1.7 million
in equity. In addition, an equity investee of the Company entered into a 4
billion yen (US $40 million ) line of credit guaranteed by the Company and OP to
fund its share of construction costs. At December 31, 1999, no amounts were
outstanding under the loan. In December 1999, construction began on the 220,000
square-foot first phase of Gotemba Premium Outlets with opening scheduled for
mid- 2000. Gotemba is located on the Tomei Expressway, approximately 60 miles
west of Tokyo and midway between Mt. Fuji and the Hakone resort area. Subject to
governmental and other approvals, Chelsea Japan also expects to announce a
project outside Osaka, the second-largest city in Japan, to open in late 2000.
The Company has minority interests ranging from 5 to 15% in several outlet
centers and outlet development projects in Europe. Two outlet centers, Bicester
Village outside of London, England and La Roca Company Stores outside of
Barcelona, Spain, are currently open and operated by Value Retail PLC and its
affiliates. Three new European projects and expansions of the two existing
centers are in various stages of development and are expected to open within the
next two years. The Company's total investment in Europe as of February 2000 is
approximately $4.5 million. The Company has also agreed to provide up to $22
million in limited debt service guarantees under a standby facility for loans
arranged by Value Retail PLC to construct outlet centers in Europe. The term of
the standby facility is three years and guarantees shall not be outstanding for
longer than five years after project completion. As of February 2000, the
Company has provided limited debt service guaranties of approximately $20
million for three projects.
The Company announced in October 1998 that it sold its interest in and
terminated the development of Houston Premium Outlets, a joint venture project
with Simon. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will receive
non-compete payments totaling $21.4 million from The Mills Corporation; $3.0
million was received at closing, and four annual installments of $4.6 million
will be received on each January 2, 1999 through 2002. The Company has also been
reimbursed for its share of land costs, development costs and fees related to
the project.
To achieve planned growth and favorable returns in both the short and long-term,
the Company's financing strategy is to maintain a strong, flexible financial
position by: (i) maintaining a conservative level of leverage; (ii) extending
and sequencing debt maturity dates; (iii) managing exposure to floating interest
rates; and (iv) maintaining liquidity. Management believes these strategies will
enable the Company to access a broad array of capital sources, including bank or
institutional borrowings and secured and unsecured debt and equity offerings,
subject to market conditions.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $87.6 million and $78.7 million
for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase was
primarily due to the growth of the Company's GLA to 5.2 million square feet in
1999 from 4.9 million square feet in 1998 and receipt of payment on a
non-compete receivable. Net cash used in investing activities decreased $42.2
million for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to the corresponding 1998
period, as a result of decreased construction activity, proceeds from sale of a
center and receipt of payment on a note receivable. For the year ended December
31, 1999, net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $47.0 million
primarily due to higher borrowings during 1998 offset in part by the sale of
preferred units in September 1999. Proceeds from the sale were used to repay
borrowings under the Company's Senior Credit Facility.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $78.7 million and $56.6 million
for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase was
primarily due to the growth of the Company's GLA to 4.9 million square feet in
1998 from 4.3 million square feet in 1997. Net cash used in investing activities
decreased $79.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 compared to the
corresponding 1997 period, primarily as a result of the Waikele Factory Outlets
acquisition in March 1997. For the year ended December 31, 1998, net cash
provided by financing activities decreased by $107.1 million primarily due to
borrowings for the Waikele Factory Outlets acquisition and excess capital raised
for development during 1997.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
In prior years, the Company discussed the nature and progress of its plans to
become Year 2000 ready. In late 1999, the Company completed its remediation and
testing of systems. As a result of those planning and implementation efforts,
the Company experienced no significant disruptions in mission-critical
information technology and non-information technology systems and believes those
systems successfully responded to the Year 2000 date change. The Company
expensed less than $100,000 during 1999 in connection with remediating its
systems. The Company is not aware of any material problems resulting from Year
2000 issues, either with its internal systems, or the products and services of
third parties. The Company will continue to monitor its mission critical
computer applications and those of its suppliers and vendors throughout the year
2000 to ensure that any latent Year 2000 matters that may arise are addressed
promptly.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
Management believes that funds from operations ("FFO") should be considered in
conjunction with net income, as presented in the statements of operations
included elsewhere herein, to facilitate a clearer understanding of the
operating results of the Company. Management considers FFO an appropriate
measure of performance for an equity real estate investment trust. FFO, as
defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"),
is net income applicable to common shareholders (computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sales or writedowns of property, exclusive of outparcel sales,
plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments
for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on
the same basis. FFO does not represent net income or cash flow from operations
as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not be
considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance
or to cash from operations, and is not necessarily indicative of cash flow
available to fund cash needs.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Substantially all leases contain provisions, including escalations of base rents
and percentage rentals calculated on gross sales, to mitigate the impact of
inflation. Inflationary increases in common area maintenance and real estate tax
expenses are substantially all reimbursed by tenants.
Virtually all tenants have met their lease obligations and the Company continues
to attract and retain quality tenants. The Company intends to reduce operating
and leasing risks by continually improving its tenant mix, rental rates and
lease terms, and by pursuing contracts with creditworthy upscale and national
brand-name tenants.
ITEM 7-A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from its floating
rate debt arrangements. Under its current policies, the Company does not use
interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate
changes. A hypothetical 100 basis point adverse move (increase) in interest
rates along the entire rate curve would adversely affect the Company's annual
interest cost by approximately $1.3 million annually.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
CHELSEA GCA REALTY, INC.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chelsea GCA
Realty, Inc. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1999. Our audits also included the
financial statement schedule listed in the Index as Item 14(a). These financial
statements and schedule are the responsibility of the management of Chelsea GCA
Realty, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Chelsea GCA
Realty, Inc. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
ORGANIZATION
Chelsea GCA Realty, Inc. (the "Company") is engaged in the development,
ownership, acquisition and operation of manufacturers' outlet centers. As of
December 31, 1999 the Company operated 19 manufacturers' outlet centers in 11
states. The Company is a self-administered and self-managed real estate
investment trust ("REIT"). The Company is the sole general partner in Chelsea
GCA Realty Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership" or "OP").
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
All of the Company's assets are held by, and all of its operations conducted
through, the Operating Partnership. Due to the Company's ability, as the sole
general partner, to exercise financial and operational control over the
Operating Partnership, the Operating Partnership is consolidated in the
accompanying financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions and
accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company accounts for its
non-controlling investments under the equity method. Such investments are
included in other assets in the financial statements.
Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent
information available to management as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 using
available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Although
management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the
reasonable fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively
revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date and current
estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented
herein.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
RENTAL PROPERTIES
Rental properties are presented at cost net of accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of the assets. The Company uses 25-40 year estimated lives for buildings,
and 15 and 5-7 year estimated lives for improvements and equipment,
respectively. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to
operations as incurred, while significant renovations and enhancements that
improve and/or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and
depreciated over the estimated useful life. Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121 ("SFAS No. 121"), Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, requires that the Company
review real estate assets for impairment wherever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of assets to be held and used may
not be recoverable. Impaired assets are reported at the lower of cost or fair
value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of cost or fair value
less cost to sell.
Gains and losses from sales of real estate are recorded when title is conveyed
to the buyer, subject to the buyer's financial commitment being sufficient to
provide economic substance to the sale.
CASH AND EQUIVALENTS
All demand and money market accounts and certificates of deposit with original
terms of three months or less from the date of purchase are considered cash
equivalents. At December 31, 1999 and 1998 cash equivalents consisted of
repurchase agreements which were held by one financial institution, commercial
paper and U.S. Government agency securities which matured in January of the
following year. The carrying amount of such investments approximated fair value.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)
DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Development costs, including interest, taxes, insurance and other costs incurred
in developing new properties, are capitalized. Upon completion of construction,
development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful lives
of the respective assets.
CAPITALIZED INTEREST
Interest, including the amortization of deferred financing costs for borrowings
used to fund development and construction, is capitalized as construction in
progress and allocated to individual property costs.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The Company conforms to the requirements of the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 52 (SFAS 52) entitled "Foreign Currency Translation."
Accordingly, assets and liabilities of foreign equity investees are translated
at prevailing year-end rates of exchange. Gains and losses related to foreign
currency were not material for the three year period ending December 31, 1999.
RENTAL EXPENSE
Rental expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of
the lease.
DEFERRED LEASE COSTS
Deferred lease costs consist of fees and direct costs incurred to initiate and
renew operating leases, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the
initial lease term or renewal period as appropriate.
DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
Deferred financing costs are amortized as interest costs on a straight-line
basis over the terms of the respective agreements. Unamortized deferred
financing costs are expensed when the associated debt is retired before
maturity.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Minimum rental income
is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Due and unpaid rents
are included in other assets in the accompanying balance sheet. Certain lease
agreements contain provisions for rents which are calculated on a percentage of
sales and recorded on the accrual basis. Contingent rents are not recognized
until the required thresholds are exceeded. Virtually all lease agreements
contain provisions for reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance,
advertising and common area maintenance costs.
BAD DEBT EXPENSE
Bad debt expense included in other expense totaled $0.8 million, $0.6 million
and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts included in other assets
totaled $1.0 million and $1.1 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)
INCOME TAXES
The Company is taxed as a REIT under Section 856(c) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, commencing with the tax year ended December 31, 1993. As a
REIT, the Company generally is not subject to federal income tax. To maintain
qualification as a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 95% of its REIT
taxable income to its stockholders and meet certain other requirements. If the
Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be
subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates.
The Company may also be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income
and property. Under certain circumstances, federal income and excise taxes may
be due on its undistributed taxable income. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the
Company was in compliance with all REIT requirements and was not subject to
federal income taxes.
NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128,
Earnings per Share. Statement 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully
diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike
primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive
effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per
share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per
share.
Basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the
weighted average number of shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental
shares attributed to outstanding options to purchase common stock of 0.2 million
in 1999 and 1998 and 0.3 million in 1997, respectively.
STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company follows Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees) and the related interpretations in accounting for its
employee stock options. In accordance with SFAS No. 123 (Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation), the Company has provided the required footnote
disclosure for the compensation expense related to the fair value of the
outstanding stock options.
CONCENTRATION OF COMPANY'S REVENUE AND CREDIT RISK
Approximately 34%, 35% and 34% of the Company's revenues for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, were derived from the Company's
two centers with the highest revenues, Woodbury Common and Desert Hills. The
loss of either center or a material decrease in revenues from either center for
any reason may have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition,
approximately 30%, 34% and 38% of the Company's revenues for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, were derived from the Company's
centers in California, which includes Desert Hills.
Management of the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its tenants and
requires certain tenants to provide security deposits. Although the Company's
tenants operate principally in the retail industry, there is no dependence upon
any single tenant.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)
MINORITY INTEREST
Minority interest is comprised of the following:
o The common unitholders' interest in the OP which was issued in
exchange for the assets contributed to the OP on November 2, 1993 and
additional units exchanged for property acquisitions during 1997. The
unitholders' interest at December 31, 1999 and 1998 was 17.4% and
18.0% (3,357 units and 3,429 units), respectively. Common shares are
reserved for the potential conversion of the units.
o The preferred unitholder's interest in the OP issued in a private sale
of $65 million of Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units to an
institutional investor in September 1999.
o Through June 30, 1997, the Company was the sole general partner and
had a 50% interest in Solvang Designer Outlets ("Solvang"), a limited
partnership. Accordingly, the accounts of Solvang were included in the
consolidated financial statements of the Company. On June 30, 1997,
the Company acquired the remaining 50% interest in Solvang. Solvang is
not material to the operations or financial position.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting
Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("Statement
131"). Statement 131 superseded FASB Statement No. 14, Financial Reporting for
Segments of a Business Enterprise. Statement 131 establishes standards for the
way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments
in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report
selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports.
Statement 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products
and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The adoption of Statement
131 did not affect results of operations, financial position or disclosure of
segment information as the Company is engaged in the development, ownership,
acquisition and operation of manufacturers' outlet centers and has one
reportable segment, retail real estate. The Company evaluates real estate
performance and allocates resources based on net operating income and weighted
average sales per square foot. The primary sources of revenue are generated from
tenant base rents, percentage rents and reimbursement revenue. Operating
expenses primarily consist of common area maintenance, real estate taxes and
promotional expenses. The retail real estate business segment meets the
quantitative threshold for determining reportable segments. The Company's
investment in foreign operations is not material to the consolidated financial
statements.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (as amended by FASB
Statement No. 137), which is required to be adopted in years beginning after
June 15, 2000. Statement 133 permits early adoption as of the beginning of any
fiscal quarter after its issuance. The Company expects to adopt the new
Statement effective January 1, 2001. The Statement will require the Company to
recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that
are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If a derivative is
a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the
derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged
asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other
comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The
ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately
recognized in earnings. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of the
Statement will have a significant effect on its results of operations or
financial position.

1998 and 1997, respectively.
Commitments for land, new construction, development, and acquisitions, excluding
separately financed joint venture activity, totaled approximately $6.2 million
at December 31, 1999.
Depreciation expense (including amortization of the capital lease) amounted to
$35.6 million, $29.2 million and $22.3 million for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
4. WAIKELE ACQUISITION
Pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated as of March 31, 1997, the Company
acquired Waikele Factory Outlets, a manufacturers' outlet shopping center
located in Hawaii. The consideration paid by the Company consisted of the
assumption of $70.7 million of indebtedness outstanding with respect to the
property (which indebtedness was repaid in full by the Company immediately after
the closing) and the issuance of special partnership units in the Operating
Partnership, having a fair market value of $0.5 million. Immediately after the
closing, the Company paid a special cash distribution of $5.0 million on the
special units. The cash used by the Company in the transaction was obtained
through borrowings under the Company's Credit Facilities.
The following condensed pro forma (unaudited) information assumes the
acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1997:

6. PROPERTIES HELD FOR SALE
As of December 31, 1999, properties held for sale represented the fair value,
less estimated costs to sell, of Solvang Designer Outlets ("Solvang"). As of
December 31, 1998, Lawrence Riverfront Plaza was also included in properties
held for sale; the property was sold on March 26, 1999.
During the second quarter of 1998, the Company accepted an offer to purchase
Solvang, a 51,000 square foot center in Solvang, California, for a net selling
price of $5.6 million. The center had a book value of $10.5 million, resulting
in a writedown of $4.9 million in the second quarter of 1998. During the fourth
quarter of 1998, the initial purchase offer was withdrawn and the Company
received another offer for a net selling price of $4.0 million, requiring a
further writedown of $1.6 million. In January 2000, the center was sold for a
net selling price of $3.3 million resulting in an additional writedown of $0.7
million recognized in the fourth quarter of 1999. For the years ended December
31, 1999 and 1998, Solvang accounted for less than 1% of the Company's revenues
and net operating income.
Management decided to sell these two properties during 1998 as part of the
Company's long-term objective of devoting resources to and focusing on
productive properties. Management determined that the time and effort necessary
to support these two underperforming centers was not worth the economic benefit
to the Company. Management also concluded that these centers would be more
useful as office and/or residential space, which are outside the Company's area
of expertise.
7. NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT
In October 1998, the Company signed a definitive agreement to terminate the
development of Houston Premium Outlets, a joint venture project with Simon
Property Group, Inc. ("Simon"). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company
withdrew from the Houston development partnership and agreed to certain
restrictions on competing in the Houston market through 2002. The Company will
receive non-compete payments totaling $21.4 million from The Mills Corporation;
$3.0 million was received at closing, the first of four annual installments of
$4.6 million was received in January 1999 and the remaining installments are to
be received on each January 2, through 2002. The Company has also been
reimbursed for its share of land costs, development costs and fees related to
the project. The revenue is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the
term of the non-compete agreement and the Company recognized income of $5.1
million and $0.9 million during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Such amounts are included in other income.

8. DEBT
On March 30, 1998, the OP replaced its two unsecured bank revolving lines of
credit, totaling $150 million (the "Credit Facilities"), with a $160 million
senior unsecured bank line of credit (the "Senior Credit Facility"). The Senior
Credit Facility expires on March 30, 2001 and the OP has an annual right to
request a one-year extension of the Senior Credit Facility which may be granted
at the option of the lenders. The OP has requested and expects approval to
extend the Facility until March 30, 2003. The Facility bears interest on the
outstanding balance, payable monthly, at a rate equal to the London Interbank
Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.05% (7.24% at December 31, 1999) or the prime
rate, at the OP's option. The LIBOR rate spread ranges from 0.85% to 1.25%
depending on the Company's Senior Debt rating. A fee on the unused portion of
the Senior Credit Facility is payable quarterly at rates ranging from 0.15% to
0.25% depending on the balance outstanding. At December 31, 1999, $94 million
was available under the Senior Credit Facility.
Also on March 30, 1998, the OP entered into a $5 million term loan (the "Term
Loan") which carries the same interest rate and maturity as the Senior Credit
Facility. The Lender has credit committee approval to extend the Term Loan to
March 30, 2003.
In November 1998, the OP obtained a $60 million term loan that expires April
2000 and bears interest on the outstanding balance at a rate equal to LIBOR plus
1.40% (7.53% at December 31, 1999). Proceeds from the loan were used to pay down
borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. The Company is currently exploring
several alternatives regarding refinancing or payoff of this loan.
In January 1996, the OP completed a $100 million public debt offering of 7.75%
unsecured term notes due January 2001 (the "7.75% Notes"), which are guaranteed
by the Company. The five-year non-callable 7.75% Notes were priced to yield
7.85% to investors. At December 31, 1999, in the opinion of management, the
7.75% Notes approximated fair value.
In October 1997, the Company's OP completed a $125 million public debt offering
of 7.25% unsecured term notes due October 2007 (the "7.25% Notes"). The 7.25%
Notes were priced to yield 7.29% to investors, 120 basis points over the 10-year
U.S. Treasury rate. At December 31, 1999, in the opinion of management, the fair
value of the 7.25% Notes was approximately $113 million.
Interest paid, excluding amounts capitalized, was $24.1 million, $19.8 million
and $14.1 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
9. PREFERRED UNITS
On September 3, 1999, the OP completed a private sale of $65 million of Series B
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units ("Preferred Units") to an institutional
investor. The private placement took the form of 1.3 million Preferred Units at
a stated value of $50 each. The Preferred Units may be called at par on or after
September 3, 2004, have no stated maturity or mandatory redemption and pay a
cumulative quarterly dividend at an annualized rate of 9.0%. The Preferred Units
are exchangeable into Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock of the
Company after ten years. The proceeds from the sale were used to pay down
borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. Activity related to the Preferred
Units is included in Minority Interest.
10. PREFERRED STOCK
In October 1997, the Company issued 1.0 million shares of nonvoting 8.375%
Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"), par
value $0.01 per share, having a liquidation preference of $50.00 per share. The
Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and is not convertible into any other
securities of the Company. The Preferred Stock is redeemable on or after October
15, 2027 at the Company's option. Net proceeds from the offering were used to
repay borrowings under the Company's Credit Facilities.

11. LEASE AGREEMENTS
The Company is the lessor and sub-lessor of retail stores under operating leases
with term expiration dates ranging from 2000 to 2018. Most leases are renewable
for five years after expiration of the initial term at the lessee's option.
Future minimum lease receipts under non-cancelable operating leases as of
December 31, 1999, exclusive of renewal option periods, were as follows (in
thousands):
2000............ $99,382

==============
In 1987, a Predecessor partnership entered into a lease agreement for property
in California. Land was estimated to be approximately 37% of the fair market
value of the property. The portion of the lease attributed to land is classified
as an operating lease and the remainder as a capital lease. The initial lease
term is 25 years with two options of 5 and 4 1/2 years, respectively. The lease
provides for additional rent based on specific levels of income generated by the
property. No additional rental payments were incurred during 1999, 1998 or 1997.
The Company has the option to cancel the lease upon six months written notice
and six months advance payment of the then fixed monthly rent. If the lease is
canceled, the building and leasehold improvements revert to the lessor. In
August 1999, the Company amended its capital lease resulting in a writedown of
the asset and obligation of $2.7 million and $6.0 million, respectively. The
difference of $3.3 million will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the
remaining term of the amended lease which ends December 2004.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has agreed under a standby facility to provide up to $22 million in
limited debt service guarantees for loans provided to Value Retail PLC, an
affiliate, to construct outlet centers in Europe. The term of the standby
facility is three years and guarantees shall not be outstanding for longer than
five years after project completion. As of December 31, 1999, the Company has
provided guarantees of approximately $20 million for three projects.
In June 1999, the Company signed a definitive agreement with Mitsubishi Estate
Co., Ltd. and Nissho Iwai Corporation to jointly develop, own and operate
premium outlet centers in Japan. The joint venture, known as Chelsea Japan Co.,
Ltd. ("Chelsea Japan") intends to develop its initial project in the city of
Gotemba, approximately 60 miles west of Tokyo. Groundbreaking for the 220,000
square-foot first phase took place in November 1999, with opening scheduled for
mid-2000. In conjunction with the agreement, the Company contributed $1.7
million in equity. In addition, an equity investee of the Company entered into a
4 billion yen (US $40 million) line of credit guaranteed by the Company and OP
to fund its share of construction costs. At December 31, 1999, no amounts were
outstanding under the loan.
Construction is underway on Orlando Premium Outlets ("OPO"), a 430,000 square
foot 50/50 joint venture project between the Company and Simon. OPO is located
on Interstate 4, midway between Walt Disney World/EPCOT and Sea World in
Orlando, Florida and is scheduled to open mid-2000. In February 1999, the joint
venture entered into a $82.5 million construction loan agreement that is
expected to fund approximately 75% of the costs of the project. The loan is 50%
guaranteed by each of the Company and Simon and as of December 31, 1999, $20.8
million was outstanding.
The Company is not presently involved in any material litigation nor, to its
knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Company or its
properties, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of
business. Management believes the costs, if any, incurred by the Company related
to any of this litigation will not materially affect the financial position,
operating results or liquidity of the Company.
13. RELATED PARTY INFORMATION
During the second quarter of 1999, the OP established a $6 million secured loan
facility for the benefit of certain unitholders. At December 31, 1999, loans
made to two unitholders totaled $2.2 million. Each unitholder issued a note
that is secured by OP units, bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis
points per annum, payable quarterly, and is due June 2004. The carrying amount
of such loans approximated fair value at December 31, 1999.
In September 1995, the Company transferred property with a book value of $4.8
million to its former President (a current unitholder) in exchange for a $4.0
million note secured by units in the Operating Partnership (the "Secured Note")
and an $0.8 million unsecured note receivable (the "Unsecured Note"). In January
1999, the Company received $4.5 million as payment in full for the two notes.
The remaining $0.3 million write-off was recognized in December 1998.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
13. RELATED PARTY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
On June 30, 1997 the Company forgave a $3.3 million related party note and paid
$2.4 million in cash to acquire the remaining 50% interest in Solvang. The
Company also collected $0.8 million in accrued interest on the note.
The Company had space leased to related parties of approximately 56,000 square
feet during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and 61,000 square feet
during the year ended December 31, 1997. Rental income from those tenants,
including reimbursement for taxes, common area maintenance and advertising,
totaled $1.8 million during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and $1.5
million during the year ended December 31, 1997.
At December 31, 1999 the Company had a receivable from an equity investee of
$4.0 million that is included in other assets. In January 2000 the Company
received payment of $3.0 million on this receivable.
The Company had a consulting agreement with one of its directors from August
1998 through December 31, 1999. The agreement called for monthly payments of
$10,000.
Certain Directors and unitholders guarantee Company obligations under leases for
one of the properties. The Company has indemnified these parties from and
against any liability which they may incur pursuant to these guarantees.
14. DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Shareholders who own at least 100 shares of the Company's common stock are
eligible to reinvest dividends quarterly. Administration costs associated with
the plan are paid by the Company.
15. STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Company elected Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees ("APB No. 25") and related Interpretations in
accounting for its employee stock options. Under APB No. 25, no compensation
expense is recognized because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock
options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant.
The alternative fair value accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," is not applicable because it requires
use of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing
employee stock options.
The Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan provides for an aggregate of 1.4 million
authorized shares reserved for issuance. The exercise price per share of initial
grants of non-qualified options will be fixed by the Compensation Committee on
the date of grant. The exercise price per share of incentive stock options will
not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant,
except in the case of incentive stock options granted to individuals owning more
than 10% of the total voting shares of the Company. Their exercise price will be
at least 110% of the fair market value at the date of grant. Non-qualified and
incentive stock options are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date
of grant. On the first anniversary of the grant date, 20% of the options may be
exercised and an additional 20% may be exercised on or after each of the second
through fifth anniversaries.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method. The fair value for these
options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 1998 and 1997,
respectively: risk-free interest rate of 6.00% and dividend yield of 8% for both
years; volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common
stock based on historical results of 0.164 and 0.174; and an expected life of
the option of four years. The Company granted no options during 1999.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
15. STOCK OPTION PLAN (CONTINUED)
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility. Because the
Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different
from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions
can materially affect the fair value estimate, management believes the existing
models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of
its employee stock options.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro
forma information follows (in thousands except for earnings per share
information):
1999 1998 1997

Pro forma net income $33,853 $16,884 $27,318

Exercise prices for options outstanding as of December 31, 1999 ranged from

the options was 6.1 years.
16. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The Company's Board of Directors and shareholders approved an Employee Stock
Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan"), effective July 1, 1998. The Purchase Plan
covers an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock. Eligible employees have
been in the employ of the Company or a participating subsidiary for five months
or more and customarily work more than 20 hours per week. The Purchase Plan
excludes employees who are "highly compensated employees" or own 5% or more of
the voting power of the Company's stock. Eligible employees will purchase shares
through automatic payroll deductions up to a maximum of 10% of weekly base pay.
The Purchase Plan will be implemented by consecutive three-month offerings (each
an "Option Period"). The price at which shares may be purchased shall be the
lower of (a) 85% of the fair market value of the stock on the first day of the
Option Period or (b) 85% of the fair market value of the stock on the last day
of the Option Period. As of December 31, 1999, 48 employees were enrolled in the
Purchase Plan and $1,300 expense has been incurred and is included in the
financial statements. The Purchase Plan will terminate after five years unless
terminated earlier by the Board of Directors.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
17. 401(K) PLAN
The Company maintains a defined contribution 401(k) savings plan (the "Plan"),
which was established to allow eligible employees to make tax-deferred
contributions through voluntary payroll withholdings. All employees of the
Company are eligible to participate in the Plan after completing one year of
service and attaining age 21. Employees who elect to enroll in the Plan may
elect to have from 1% to 15% of their pre-tax gross pay contributed to their
account each pay period. As of January 1, 1998 the Plan was amended to include
an employer discretionary matching contribution in an amount not to exceed 100%
of each participant's first 6% of yearly compensation to the Plan. Matching
contributions of approximately $97,000 in 1999 and $150,000 in 1998 are included
in the Company's general and administrative expense.
18. EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
Deferred financing costs of $0.3 million (net of minority interest of $62,000),
and $0.2 million (net of minority interest of $48,000) for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, were expensed as a result of early
debt extinguishments, and are reflected in the accompanying financial statements
as an extraordinary item.
