ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

FORMATION OF THE REIT

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (the "Company") was
incorporated on July 13, 1993 under the laws of the State of
Delaware to acquire an interest in substantially all of the real
estate properties owned by CBL & Associates, Inc. and its
affiliates ("CBL") and to provide a public vehicle for the
expansion of CBL's shopping center business. The Company is a
self-managed, self-administered, fully-integrated real estate
company which is engaged in the ownership, operation, marketing,
management, leasing, expansion, development, redevelopment,
acquisition and financing of regional malls and community and
neighborhood centers.

The Company conducts all of its business through CBL &
Associates Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership
(the "Operating Partnership"). To comply with certain technical
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), the Operating Partnership carries out the Company's
property management and development activities through CBL &
Associates Management, Inc. (the "Management Company").

On November 3, 1993, the Company completed initial public
offerings, inside and outside the United States (the
"Offerings"), of 15,400,000 shares of its common stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "Common Stock"). Simultaneously with the
completion of the Offerings, CBL transferred to the Operating
Partnership substantially all of CBL's interests in its real
estate properties and its management and development operations
in exchange for an aggregate 35.4% limited partner interest in
the Operating Partnership. CBL also acquired an additional 4.9%
limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership for a cash
payment of $24.4 million. Each of the partnership interests in
the Operating Partnership may, at the election of its respective
holder, be exchanged for shares of Common Stock of the Company,
subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code. Following
the Offerings, the Company owned a 59.7% general partner interest
in the Operating Partnership.

The Offerings and the application of proceeds therefrom,
including the Operating Partnership's acquisition of certain
property interests, and the contribution by CBL of property
interests to the Operating Partnership, are referred to herein as
the "Formation."

In December, 1993, CBL exercised its right under the
Operating Partnership's partnership agreement to exchange a 4.7%
limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership for
1,221,744 shares of Common Stock. In October 1994, the Operating
Partnership exercised its option to acquire from CBL the former
Phar-Mor space at Valley Crossing in Hickory, North Carolina for
a value of $3,575,400. The Operating Partnership issued a .5377%
limited partnership interest (190,688 share equivalents) to CBL
in return for the former Phar-Mor space.

In September, 1995, the Company completed a follow-on
offering of 4,163,500 shares of its Common Stock at $20.625 per
share. CBL purchased 150,000 of these shares. The net proceeds
of $80.7 million were used to repay floating rate indebtedness on
the Company's revolving lines of credit.

In August, 1996, the Company exercised its option to acquire
from CBL a parcel of land for the recently constructed Just for
Feet on the periphery of Hamilton Place Mall in Chattanooga,
Tennessee for a value of $780,053. The Operating Partnership
issued a .0798% limited partner interest (34,246 share
equivalents) to CBL in return for the parcel.

After giving effect to the above transactions and at
December 31, 1996, CBL held a 30.97% limited partner interest in
the Operating Partnership, and the Company held a 69.03% general
partner interest in the Operating Partnership. In addition, CBL
held approximately 1.5 million of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock for a total ownership share of 36.01%.

Subsequent to the end of the 1996 year, in January, 1997,
the Company completed a spot offering of 3,000,000 shares of its
Common Stock at $26.125 per share. CBL purchased 55,000 of those
shares as part of the offering. The net proceeds of $74.3
million, were used to repay variable rate indebtedness incurred
in the Company's development and acquisition program.

After giving effect to the above transactions, CBL holds a
28.18% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership, and
the Company holds a 71.82% general partner interest in the
Operating Partnership. In addition, CBL holds approximately 1.6
million of the outstanding shares of Common Stock for a total
ownership share of 32.95%.


GENERAL

The Company owns interests in a portfolio of properties,
consisting of 18 enclosed regional malls (the "Malls"), of which
three are joint venture investments, eight associated centers
(the "Associated Centers"), each of which is part of a regional
shopping mall complex, and 75 independent community shopping
centers (the "Community Centers").

Additionally, the Company owns one mall, two associated
centers, two power centers, and four community shopping centers
currently under construction (the "Construction Properties").
The Company also owns options to acquire certain shopping center
development sites (the "Development Properties").

The Company also holds mortgages (the "Mortgages") on six
community and neighborhood shopping centers owned by non-CBL
affiliates. The Mortgages were granted in connection with sales
by CBL of certain properties previously developed by CBL. The
Company also owns an interest in a three-story office building in
Chattanooga, Tennessee, a portion of which serves as the
Company's headquarters (the "Office Building"). The Malls,
Associated Centers, Community Centers, Construction Properties,
Development Properties, Mortgages and Office Building are
collectively referred to herein as the "Properties" and
individually as a "Property."

The Company and the Operating Partnership generally own a
100% interest in the Properties. In all but one of the
Properties where the Company and the Operating Partnership own
less than a 100% interest the Operating Partnership is the sole
general partner or managing general partner of the property
partnership which owns such Properties. In one Mall, an
affiliate of the Operating Partnership is a non-managing general
partner.

For a full description of the Properties, see Item 2
"Properties."

The Company's executive offices are located at One Park
Place, 6148 Lee Highway, Chattanooga, Tennessee 37421. The
telephone number at this address is (423) 855-0001.

MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION OF PROPERTIES

MANAGEMENT COMPANY

The Company is self-managed and self-administered. To
comply with certain technical requirements of the Code, the
Operating Partnership carries out the Company's property
management and development activities through the Management
Company.

The Operating Partnership holds 100% of the preferred stock
and 5% of the common stock of the Management Company. The
remaining 95% of the common stock is held by Charles Lebovitz,
his family and his associates. Substantially all of CBL's asset
management, property management and leasing and development
operations, including CBL's executive, property, financial, legal
and administrative personnel, were transferred to the Management
Company as part of the Formation. The Management Company manages
all of the Properties (except for Governor's Square see below)
pursuant to a management agreement that may be terminated at any
time by the Operating Partnership upon 30 days written notice.
In addition, the Management Company manages certain properties
owned by CBL that were not transferred to the Company in the
Formation as well as certain shopping centers owned by non-CBL
affiliates. Through its ownership of the Management Company's
preferred stock, the Operating Partnership enjoys substantially
all of the economic benefits of the Management Company's
business. Pursuant to requirements set forth in the Management
Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a
majority of the Management Company's board of directors are
required to be independent of CBL. From November 1993 to the
current date, the board of directors of the Management Company
consist of the same individuals as the Company's board of
directors including the four independent directors.

ON-SITE MANAGEMENT

The on-site property management functions at the Malls
include leasing, management, data processing, rent collection,
project bookkeeping, marketing, and promotion. Each Mall, for
itself and its Associated Centers, has an on-site property
manager who oversees the on-site staff and an on-site marketing
director who oversees the marketing program for that mall.
District managers, most of whom are located at the Company's
headquarters, oversee the leasing and operations at a majority of
the Community Centers. The on-site Mall managers are experienced
managers with training in mall management.

Virtually all operating activities are supported by a
computer software system which is designed to provide management
with operating data necessary to make informed business decisions
on a timely basis. During 1994, the Company implemented a new
management information system which included hardware and
software. The system was developed to more efficiently assist
management in efforts to maintain management quality and tenant
relations while minimizing operating expenses. Retail sales
analysis, leasing information, budget controls, accounts
receivable/payable, operating expense variance reports and income
analysis are continually available to management. Management
also has available an information system that facilitates the
development and monitoring of budgets and other relevant
information.

An affiliate of the Management Company also leases certain
equipment, such as furniture, computers and vehicles, to
partnerships that own title to the Properties (the "Property
Partnerships") for use at the Malls. During 1996, security,
maintenance and cleaning services at most of the Malls were
provided by a company (ERMC, L.P.) in which certain executive
officers of the Company had an interest at year end. In
February, 1997, substantially all of the assets of ERMC, L.P.
were sold to a third party not affiliated with CBL or any of the
Company's executive officers.

Management pursues periodic preventative maintenance
programs, which encompass paving, roofing, HVAC and general
improvements to the Properties' common areas. The on-site
property managers oversee all such work in accordance with
approved budgets.

GOVERNOR'S SQUARE

Governor's Square is the only Property in the Company's
portfolio in which the Company is not the sole general partner or
managing general partner. Governor's Square is owned by a
Property Partnership, the managing general partner of which is a
non-CBL affiliate which owns a 47.5% interest in the Mall.
Although the managing general partner of this partnership
controls the timing of distributions of cash flow, the Company's
approval is required for certain major decisions, including
permanent financing, refinancing and sale of all or substantially
all of the partnership's assets. Property management services,
including accounting, auditing, maintenance, promotional
programs, leasing, collection and insurance, are performed by a
property manager affiliated with the non-CBL managing general
partner for which such property manager receives a fee.

EMPLOYEES

The Company, through the Management Company, currently
employs approximately 266 full time and 160 part time persons.
None of these employees is currently represented by any union.
Prior to the Formation, substantially all of the employees were
employed by CBL. The Company does not have any employees other
than its statutory officers.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Under various federal, state and local laws and regulations,
a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be
liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain
hazardous or toxic substances on such real estate. Such laws
typically impose such liability without regard to whether the
owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence
of such hazardous or toxic substances. The costs of remediation
or removal of such substances may be substantial, and the
presence of such substances, or the failure to promptly remediate
such substances, may adversely affect the owner's or operator's
ability to sell such real estate or to borrow using such real
estate as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or
treatment of hazardous or toxic substances may also be liable for
the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at the
disposal or treatment facility, regardless of whether such
facility is owned or operated by such person. Certain laws
require abatement or removal of friable and certain non-friable
asbestos-containing materials ("ACMs") in the event of demolition
or certain renovations or remodeling. Certain laws regarding
ACMs require building owners and lessees, among other things, to
notify and train certain employees working in areas known or
presumed to contain ACMs. Certain laws also impose liability for
release of ACMs into the air and third parties may seek recovery
from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury
or property damage associated with ACMs. In connection with its
ownership and operations of the Properties, the Company, the
Operating Partnership or the relevant Property Partnership, as
the case may be, may be potentially liable for such costs or
claims.

All of the Properties, except for Development Property land
options, have been subject to Phase I environmental assessments
or updates of existing Phase I environmental assessments within
approximately the last four years. Such assessments were
intended to evaluate the environmental condition of, and
potential environmental liabilities associated with, the
Properties. The Phase I assessments generally consisted of an
investigation of environmental conditions at the Properties,
including a preliminary investigation of the sites and
identification of publicly known conditions concerning properties
in the vicinity of the sites, limited screening and sampling for
the presence of ACMs, an investigation as to the presence of
polychlorinated biphenyls ("PCBs") and above ground and
underground storage tanks presently or formerly at the sites and
the preparation and issuance of written reports. Where believed
to be warranted, soil samplings or other subsurface
investigations were undertaken. Some of the Properties contain,
or at one time contained, underground storage tanks ("UST's")
used to store heating oil for on-site consumption or petroleum
products or wastes typically related to the auto service or other
operations conducted at such Properties. Certain Properties
contain, or at one time contained dry cleaning establishments
utilizing solvents. Certain adjacent Properties also contain or
contained USTs. The Company, as a result of the Phase I surveys,
has no reason to believe that these conditions have had a
material adverse impact on the Properties. Nevertheless, there
can be no assurance that the Properties have not been adversely
affected by such USTs or dry cleaning establishments or that the
Company would not be responsible for remediating contamination
associated with those conditions. The Phase I assessments
included a limited survey for friable ACMs which revealed the
presence of friable ACMs at a limited number of the Properties,
primarily in the form of pipe insulation and ceiling tiles.
Earlier inspections revealed non-friable ACMs at certain of the
Properties, primarily in the form of mastic adhesive bonding in
floor tiles. At certain Properties, where warranted by the
conditions, the Company has developed and implemented an
operations and maintenance program that establishes operating
procedures with respect to ACMs. The costs associated with the
development and implementation for such programs was not
material. The Company intends to obtain or review environmental
site assessments prior to exercising any Development Property
land options.

None of the environmental assessments conducted to date has
revealed any environmental condition which management believes
would have a significant material adverse effect on the Company's
business, assets or results of operations, nor is management
otherwise aware of any such condition. Nevertheless, it is
possible that these assessments do not reveal all potential
environmental liabilities, that adverse environmental conditions
have arisen subsequent to the performance of the environmental
assessments, or that there are material environmental liabilities
of which management is unaware. Moreover, no assurances can be
given that (i) future laws, ordinances or regulations will not
impose any material environmental liability or (ii) the current
environmental condition of the Properties has not been or will
not be affected by tenants and occupants of the Properties, by
the condition of properties in the vicinity of the Properties or
by third parties unrelated to the Company, the Operating
Partnership or the relevant Property Partnership.

The Company believes that the Properties are in compliance
in all material respects with federal, state and local
ordinances and regulations regarding the handling, discharge and
emission of hazardous or toxic substances. Neither the Company
nor the Operating Partnership has been notified by any
governmental authority, or is otherwise aware, of any material
noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic
substances in connection with any of its present or former
properties.

The Company has not recorded in its financial statements any
material liability in connection with environmental matters.

INSURANCE

The Operating Partnership carries comprehensive liability,
fire, extended coverage and rental loss insurance covering all
the Properties, with policy specifications and insured limits
customarily carried for similar properties. Management believes
that the Properties are adequately insured in accordance with
industry standards.


THE COMPANY'S STRATEGY FOR GROWTH

Management believes that per share growth in the Company's
Funds from Operations is one of the key factors in enhancing
shareholder value. It is the objective of the Company's
management to achieve growth in Funds from Operations through the
aggressive management of the Company's existing Properties, the
expansion and renovation of existing Properties, the development
of new properties, and select acquisitions. Funds from
Operations can also be affected by external factors, such as
inflation, fluctuations in interest rates or changes in general
economic conditions, which are beyond the control of the
Company's management.

"Funds from Operations" is defined by the Company as net
income (loss) before property depreciation, other non-cash items
(consisting of the effect of straightlining of rents), gains or
losses on sales of real estate and gains or losses on investments
in marketable securities. Funds from Operations also includes
the Company's share of Funds from Operations from unconsolidated
affiliates but minority investors' interests are excluded from
Funds from Operations. The Company complies with the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trust's ("NAREIT") revised
definition of Funds from Operations by not adding back to income
from operations depreciation and amortization of finance costs
and non-real estate assets. The Company continues to exclude
outparcel sales and the effect of straight-line rents from its
Funds from Operations calculation, even though the revised
definition allows their inclusion. Funds from Operations does
not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and is not necessarily
indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and
should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) for
purposes of evaluating the Company's operating performance or to
cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

Specifically, the Company has implemented its objective of
growing its Funds from Operations and will continue to do so by:

| Maximizing the cash flow from its existing portfolio of
regional malls, community centers, and other retail
complexes through aggressive leasing, management, and
marketing, including:

an active leasing strategy which seeks to increase
occupancy. At December 31, 1996, the occupancy at
the Stabilized Malls, New Malls, Associated
Centers, and Community Centers was 89.0%, 87.7%,
99.6%, and 97.2%, respectively, as compared to
occupancies of 89.8%, 81.1%, 99.0%, and 96.8%,
respectively, at December 31, 1995;

expanded merchandising, marketing and promotional
activities, with the goal of enhancing tenant
sales and thereby increasing percentage rents.
Mall shop sales per square foot for the year ended
December 31, 1996 were 1.5% higher at the
Stabilized Malls than for the year ended December
31, 1995;

increased base rents as tenant leases expire,
renegotiation of leases and negotiation of
terminations of leases of under performing
retailers. At December 31, 1996 average base
rents per square foot at the Malls, Associated
Centers, and Community Centers was $19.64, $8.59,
and $6.94, respectively, as compared to average
base rents per square foot of $18.72, $8.37, and
$6.66, respectively, at December 31, 1995;

control of operating costs. Occupancy costs as a
percentage of sales at the Malls decreased to
11.5% for the year ended December 31, 1996 as
compared to 12.3% for the year ended December 31,
1995.

| Expanding and renovating existing properties to
maintain their competitive position.

Most of the Malls were designed to allow for expansion
and growth through the addition of new department
stores or other large retail stores as anchors
("Anchors"). Fourteen of the 18 Malls have undergone
expansion or renovation since their opening, and all of
the Malls have been either built or renovated in the
last 10 years or are in the process of being renovated.
Four of the Malls had available Anchor pads at December
31, 1996, two of which are now Dillard stores which
opened in March, 1997. Eighteen existing Anchors at 10
Malls have expansion potential at their existing
stores. During 1996, the Company completed the
renovation of Pemberton Square Mall in Vicksburg,
Mississippi and Twin Peaks Mall in Longmont, Colorado.
The Company plans to renovate and expand Foothills Mall
in Maryville, Tennessee in 1997 and Hamilton Place in
Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1998.

In the community center portfolio, the Company expanded
four Food Lion stores totaling approximately 24,800
square feet in 1996, and one other community center was
renovated. Renovations and expansions are planned for
seven community centers in 1997 as well as a 24,000
square foot expansion for Barnes & Noble.

| Developing new retail properties with profitable
returns on capital, leading to growth for the future.

In 1996, the Company opened one Mall redevelopment and
expansion, two free standing buildings on the periphery
of two Malls and four community centers. Summary
information concerning these properties is set forth
below.

In addition to the Construction Properties, the Company
is pursuing the development of a number of sites which
the Company believes are viable for future development
as malls and community and neighborhood shopping
centers. Regional mall development sites are being
pursued in Alabama, Georgia, and Kansas and community
shopping center sites are being pursued in Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee
and Virginia.

In general, the Company seeks out development
opportunities in middle-market trade areas that it
believes are under-serviced by existing retail
facilities, have demonstrated improving demographic
trends or otherwise afford an opportunity for effective
market penetration and competitive presence.


| Acquiring existing retail properties where cash flow
can be enhanced by improved management, leasing,
redevelopment and expansion.

Management believes that an opportunity for growth
exists through the acquisition of shopping centers that
meet the Company's investment criteria and targeted
returns. In general, the Company seeks to acquire
well-located shopping centers in middle-market
geographic areas consistent with management's
experience where management believes significant value
can be created through its development, leasing and
management expertise.

In November, 1996 the Company purchased St. Clair
Square located in Fairview Heights, Illinois, an
approximate 1,044,000 square foot super regional mall
for $86.4 million. St. Clair Square is anchored by
Dillard's, Famous-Barr, JCPenney and Sears and is
currently 97.7% leased. The acquisition was funded by a
$66.0 million acquisition loan with the balance funded
from the Company's credit lines.

In December, 1996, the Company completed the
acquisition of a controlling interest in Foothills
Mall, an approximate 472,000 square foot regional mall
located in Maryville, Tennessee. The Company received a
95% partnership interest in the center in exchange for
extending the term of the mortgage for an additional
five years. The Company had already owned the space
occupied by JCPenney prior to the acquisition.

In January, 1997 the Company purchased Sutton Plaza, a
community center located in Mount Olive, New Jersey
for $5.7 million. The approximate 122,000 square foot
community center is 100% leased and is anchored by A&P
and Ames.

| Strengthening our balance sheet through selective
dispositions of five of our community centers. Summary
information concerning these dispositions is set forth
below.

(1) Disposition was structured as a like-kind exchange pursuant to Section
1031 of the code.

COMPETITION

There are numerous shopping facilities that compete with the
Properties in attracting retailers to lease space. In addition,
retailers at the Properties face continued competition from
discount shopping centers, outlet malls, wholesale clubs, direct
mail, telemarketing, television shopping networks and shopping
via the Internet. Competition could adversely affect the Company's
revenues and funds available for distribution to shareholders.


QUALIFICATION AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST

The Company has elected to be taxed as real estate
investment trust under the Code, commencing with its taxable year
ended December 31, 1993, and will seek to maintain such status.
As a qualified real estate investment trust, the Company
generally will not be subject to Federal income tax to the extent
it distributes at least 95% of its real estate investment trust
taxable income to its shareholders. If the Company fails to
qualify as a real estate investment trust in any taxable year,
the Company will be subject to Federal income tax (including any
applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at
regular corporate rates.



ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

MALLS

Each of the Malls is an enclosed regional shopping complex.
Each Mall generally has at least three Anchors which own or lease
their stores and numerous Mall Stores, most of which are national
or regional retailers, located along enclosed malls connecting
the Anchors. At most of the Malls, additional freestanding
restaurants and retail stores are located on the periphery of the
Mall complex. These freestanding stores are, in most cases,
owned by their occupants. Seven of the Mall complexes include
one or more Associated Centers.

The total GLA of the 18 Malls is approximately 12.5 million
square feet or an average GLA of approximately 693,000 square
feet per Mall. The Company classifies its regional malls into
two categories - Stabilized Malls which have completed their
initial lease-up and New Malls which are in the initial lease-up
phase. Currently, Oak Hollow Mall in High Point, North Carolina,
Turtle Creek Mall in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and Westgate Mall
in Spartanburg, South Carolina are characterized as New Malls.
The Stabilized Mall occupancy was 89.0% at December 31, 1996 (94%
including leased Anchor GLA). The Company wholly owns all but
five of its Malls and manages all but one of them.

In the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, Mall
revenues represented approximately 72.0%, 72.5% and 72.8%,
respectively, of total revenues from the Company's Properties.

Stabilized Mall Store occupancy decreased from 89.8% at
December 31, 1995, to 89.0% at December 31, 1996. St. Clair
Square and Foothills Mall, which were acquired during 1996, were
included in the Stabilized Mall category at December 31, 1996. If
such malls had not been included, occupancy would have been 89.7%
in the Stabilized Mall category.

In the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, average
Stabilized Mall Store sales per square foot were approximately
$226, $237 and $240, respectively (computed using a monthly
weighted average). Average Stabilized Mall Store sales per
square foot increased by 1.5% for the year ended December 31,
1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995.

Average base rent per square foot at the Mall Stores
increased from $18.72 at December 31, 1995 to $19.64 at December
31, 1996.

Occupancy costs as a percentage of sales for tenants in the
Stabilized Malls (excluding St. Clair Square and Foothills Mall
which the Company did not own for the entire 1996 year) were
12.2%, 12.3% and 11.7% for the years 1994, 1995, and 1996,
respectively.

The Malls are generally located in middle-markets.
Management believes that the Malls have strong competitive
positions because they generally are the only or largest enclosed
malls within their respective trade areas. Trade areas have been
identified by management based upon a number of sources of
information, including the location of other malls, publicly
available population information, customer surveys, surveys of
customer automobile license plates as well as ZIP codes and
third-party market studies.

The two largest revenue-producing Malls are Hamilton Place
and CoolSprings Galleria. Hamilton Place is located on a
187-acre site in Chattanooga, Tennessee and represented, as of
December 31, 1996, 5.67% of the Properties' total GLA, 6.38% of
total Mall Store GLA and 9.8% of total revenues from the
Company's Properties. CoolSprings Galleria is located on a
148-acre site in metropolitan Nashville, Tennessee and
represented, as of December 31, 1996, 5.6% of the Properties'
total GLA, 6.51% of total Mall Store GLA and 8.92% of total
revenues from the Company's Properties.

Fourteen of the eighteen Malls have undergone an expansion
or remodeling since their opening, and all of the Malls have
either been built or renovated in the last 10 years or are in the
process of being renovated with the exception of Hamilton Place
which is scheduled for renovation in 1998. Four of the Malls
have available Anchor pads providing expansion potential totaling
approximately 358,000 buildable square feet at December 31, 1996.
The Company constructed a Dillard's on two of the available
anchor pads at Twin Peaks Mall and Frontier Mall which opened in
March, 1997 leaving approximately 205,700 buildable square feet.
Eighteen existing Anchors at ten Malls have aggregate expansion
potential at their existing stores of approximately 473,000
buildable square feet.

With the exception of Westgate Mall and St. Clair Square
which were acquired by the Company in March 1995 and November,
1996 respectively, each of the Malls was developed by the
Company. The land underlying the Malls is owned in fee in all
cases, except for Walnut Square, Westgate Mall, and St. Clair
Square, which are each subject to long-term ground leases for all
or a portion of the land underlying these malls.

The table on the following page sets forth certain
information for each of the Malls as of December 31, 1996.

ANCHORS. Anchors are a critical factor in a Mall's
success because of the public's identification with a property
typically focuses on its Anchors. Mall Anchors generally are
department stores whose merchandise appeals to a broad range of
shoppers. Although the Malls derive a smaller percentage of
their operating income from Anchor stores than from Mall Stores,
strong Anchors play an important part in generating customer
traffic and making the Malls desirable locations for Mall Store
tenants.

Anchors either own their stores together with the land
under them and sometimes with adjacent parking areas, or enter
into long-term leases with respect to their stores at rental
rates that are significantly lower than the rents charged to
tenants of Mall Stores. Anchors which lease their stores account
for approximately 12.0% of the total revenues from the Company's
Properties. Each Anchor which owns its own store has entered
into a reciprocal easement agreement with the Company covering,
among other things, operating covenants, reciprocal easements,
property operations, initial construction and future expansions.

The Malls have a total of 84 Anchors. No Anchor
Stores at any of the Malls were vacant as of December 31, 1996.
The Fashion Bar lease at Cheyenne, Wyoming, expired January 31,
1997 and is currently vacant . The following table indicates all
Mall Anchors and sets forth the aggregate number of square feet
owned or leased by Anchors in the Malls as of December 31, 1996.

MALL STORES. The Malls have approximately 1,492 Mall
Stores. National or regional chains (excluding individually
franchised stores) lease approximately 81.52% of the occupied
Mall Store GLA. Although Mall Stores occupy only 34.1% of total
Mall GLA, for the year ended December 31, 1996, the Malls derived
approximately 88.0% of their revenue from Mall Stores.

Among the companies with the largest representation
among Mall Stores are: The Limited Stores, Inc./Intimate Brands
(The Limited, Limited Too, Express, Lerner New York, Lane Bryant,
Structure, Victoria Secret, and Bath and Body Works) and
Woolworth Corporation (Footlocker, Lady Footlocker, Kinney Shoes,
Champs Sports Stores, Afterthoughts Boutique and San Francisco
Music Box). As of December 31, 1996, The Limited Stores,
Inc.'s/Intimate Brands 65 stores accounted for 10.9% of total
leased GLA and 8.37% of total revenues from the Company's
Properties. No single Mall Store retailer accounted for more
than 11.0% of total leased GLA and no single Mall Store retailer
accounted for more than 8.37% of total revenues from the
Company's Properties.

COST OF OCCUPANCY. Management believes that in order to
maximize the Company's Funds from Operations, tenants in Mall
Stores must be able to operate profitably. A major factor
contributing to tenant profitability is the tenant's cost of
occupancy.

The following table summarizes for Stabilized Mall Store
tenants the occupancy costs under their leases as a percentage of
total Mall Store sales for the last three years.

- --------------------

(1) Excludes Malls not open for full reporting period.
(2) Consistent with industry practice, sales are based on
reports by retailers (excluding theaters) leasing Mall Store
GLA and occupying space for the reporting period.
Represents 100% of sales for these Malls. In certain cases,
the Company and the Operating Partnership will own less than
100% interest in these Malls.
(3) Represents real estate tax and common area maintenance
charges.


At December 31, 1996 the Company had investments in three
malls in joint ventures with third parties, all of which are
reflected using the equity method of accounting. The Company's
investment in Brownwood Associates (Heartland Mall in Brownwood,
Texas) was transferred to the lender in April, 1995. The
effect of this transfer on the financial statements was not
material. Condensed combined results of operations for the
unconsolidated affiliates are presented in the following table.

ASSOCIATED CENTERS

The eight Associated Centers are each part of a Mall complex
and generally have one or two Anchor tenants and various smaller
tenants. Anchor tenants in these centers include such retailers
as Service Merchandise, Target, Toys "R" Us, and TJ Maxx, which
are category dominant retailers that benefit from the regional
draw of the Malls. The Associated Centers also increase the draw
to the total Mall complex.

Total leasable GLA of the eight Associated Centers is
approximately 0.5 million square feet, including Anchors, or an
average of approximately 62,000 square feet per center. As of
December 31, 1996, 99.6% of total leasable GLA at the Associated
Centers was occupied.

In the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995, and 1996,
revenues from the Associated Centers represented approximately
3.9%, 3.5% and 3.3%, respectively, of total revenues from the
Company's Properties.

In the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, average
tenant sales per square foot at the Associated Centers were
approximately $214, $215 and $207, respectively.

Average base rent per square foot at the Associated Centers
increased from $8.37 at December 31, 1995 to $8.59 at December
31, 1996.

Each of the Associated Centers was developed by the Company.
All of the land underlying the Associated Centers is owned in
fee.

LEASE EXPIRATIONS. The following table shows for the
Associated Centers (assuming that none of the tenants exercise
renewal options) the scheduled lease expirations for the year

COMMUNITY CENTERS


In addition to Mall development, the Company's development
activities focus on Community Center projects. Community Centers
pose fewer development risks than Malls because they have shorter
development timetables and lower up-front costs. Community
Centers also afford the Company the opportunity to meet the needs
of retailers for whom a "convenience" type of location is more
appropriate and the needs of customers whose trade areas cannot
support a regional mall.

The Company's Community Center developments in the 1980's
were generally anchored by supermarkets, and, in certain cases,
by drug stores. Management's current focus has expanded to
include the development of larger centers, anchored by mass
merchandisers and department stores, while continuing the
development of smaller centers anchored by supermarkets and drug
stores. Recently completed Community Centers include centers in
Adrian, Michigan; Cary, North Carolina; LaGrange, New York;
Knoxville, Tennessee; and Chester, Virginia. Anchors at these
new centers include, Lowe's Home Improvement, Hannaford Brothers,
A&P, and HomePlace. The Community Centers in Adrian, Michigan
and Chester, Virginia were sold by the Company in 1996. See
"Summary Information Concerning Dispositions for the Year ended
December 31, 1996".

Community Centers range in size from 25,000 square feet to
in excess of 286,000 square feet. Anchors in Community Centers
generally lease their store space and occupy 60-85% of a center's
GLA. The number of stores in a Community Center ranges up to
sixteen with an average of seven stores per center.

Total GLA of the 75 Community Centers is approximately 6.2
million square feet, or an average of approximately 84,000 square
feet per center. As of December 31, 1996, 97.2% of total
leasable GLA at the Community Centers was leased.

In the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996,
revenues from the Community Centers represented approximately
21.0%, 21.2% and 21.4%, respectively, of total revenues from the
Company's Properties.

Occupancy at the Community Centers increased from 96.8% at
December 31, 1995 to 97.2% at December 31, 1996.

Average base rent per square foot at the Community Centers
increased from $6.66 at December 31, 1995, to $6.94 at December
31, 1996.

As of December 31, 1996, Food Lion, a major regional
supermarket operator with headquarters in North Carolina
served as an anchor tenant in 37 of the Company's Community
Centers and in one Associated Center. For the year ended
December 31, 1996, Food Lion accounted for approximately 5.01% of
the revenues generated by the Company's Properties.

With the exception of Suburban Plaza and Sutton Plaza, which
were acquired by the Company in March, 1995 and January, 1997
respectively, each of the Community Centers was developed by the
Company.

The following table summarizes the percentage of total
leasable GLA leased, average base rent per square foot (excluding
percentage rent) and tenant sales per square foot at the
Community Centers for each of the last five years.

MORTGAGES

The Company owns certain Mortgages which were granted prior to
the IPO in connection with sales by the Company's predecessor of
properties which it had previously developed.

The Company also holds fee mortgages on six community
centers, which mortgages had, as of December 31, 1996, an
aggregate outstanding principal of $12.3 million. Such mortgages
entitle the Company to receive substantially all of such
properties' current cash flow in the form of periodic debt
service payments. The encumbered properties all opened between
1981 and 1984 and have no Anchor vacancies.

In the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995, and 1996,
revenues from the Mortgages represented approximately 2.4%, 2.2%,
and 2.0%, respectively, of total revenues from the Company's
Properties.

The following table sets forth certain additional information
regarding the Mortgages as of December 31, 1996.

MORTGAGE DEBT AND RATIO TO TOTAL MARKET CAPITALIZATION

As of December 31, 1996, the Operating Partnership's
proportionate share of indebtedness of all Properties (whether or
not consolidated for financial statement reporting purposes
including the Construction Properties) was approximately $612.5
million. The Company's total market capitalization (the
aggregate market value of the Company's outstanding shares of
Common Stock, assuming the full exchange of the limited
partnership interests in the Operating Partnership for Common
Stock, plus the $612.5 million total debt of the Operating
Partnership) as of December 31, 1996 was $1.4 billion.
Accordingly, the Company's debt to total market capitalization
ratio as of December 31, 1996 was 43.8%. The debt to total market
capitalization ratio, which is based upon the Company's
proportionate share of consolidated and unconsolidated
indebtedness and market values of equity, differs from
debt-to-book capitalization ratios, which are based upon
consolidated indebtedness and book values.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding
the mortgages and secured lines of credit encumbering the
