PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

        Excel Properties, Ltd., a California limited partnership (the "Partnership"), was organized to purchase commercial real estate properties for cash and to hold these assets for investment. The general partners of the Partnership are New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("New Plan"), formerly known as Excel Realty Trust and Gary B. Sabin, an individual. The Partnership was formed on September 19, 1985 and will continue in existence until December 31, 2015, unless dissolved earlier under certain circumstances. In 1999, Excel Legacy Corporation, now known as Price Legacy Corporation, (the "Company") began managing the assets of the Partnership when certain officers of New Plan resigned. The Company has indemnified New Plan of any general partner liability in exchange for an assignment of their partnership interest.

        Properties that have been acquired by the Partnership have been primarily subject to long-term triple-net leases. Such leases require the lessee to pay the prescribed minimum rental plus all costs and expenses associated with the operations and maintenance of the property. These expenses include real property taxes, property insurance, repairs and maintenance and similar expenses. Certain leases also provide some form of inflation hedge which calls for the minimum rent to be increased, based upon adjustments in the consumer price index, fixed rent escalation, or by receipt of a percentage of the gross sales of the tenant.

        The principal investment objectives of the Partnership were originally to provide to its limited partners: (1) preservation, protection and eventual return of the investment, (2) distributions of cash from operations, some of which may be a return of capital for tax purposes rather than taxable income, and (3) realization of long-term appreciation in value of properties. In recent years, the Partnership has been attempting to sell all of its properties. The selling of the properties remaining could take several years as the Partnership attempts to maximize the sales price of each property. There can be no assurance that the general partners will be successful in selling the remaining properties or what price they can obtain. Additionally, the plans of the Partnership may change in the future.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

        The Partnership presently owns three properties as follows:

PARAGON RESTAURANT GROUP, INC.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

        The following information has been selected from the financial statements of the Partnership:

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

        Certain statements in this Form 10-K may be deemed to be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results of the Partnership to be materially different from historical results or from any results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the Statements of Income contained in the Financial Statements, including trends which might appear, should not be taken as indicative of future operations.

Comparison of year ended December 31, 2001 to year ended December 31, 2000.

        The net income of the Partnership increased by $690,345 in 2001 when compared to 2000. The differences in income and expenses are explained below.

4

        Rental revenue decreased by $38,961 or 7% to $493,522 in 2001 from $532,483 in 2000. The decrease in rental revenue was primarily attributed to the property sales in 2001. During 2001, the Partnership sold five properties. These properties accounted for $247,023 in rental revenue in 2000 as compared to $197,672 in 2001. There were no property sales in 2000.

        Interest income decreased $10,233 or 10% over 2000. This decrease was largely due to cash balances from proceeds relating to the 2000 property sales before the funds were distributed to the partners, and the decrease of interest rates paid on the bank accounts balances.

        Operating expenses decreased by $11,626 or 7% in 2001 from 2000. Of this, depreciation expense decreased by $11,373 or 13% due to property sales in 2001. Accounting and legal expenses decreased by $26,523 or 39% due to legal matters related to the transfer and ownership of certain partnership units in 2000. Bad debt expense increased by $28,955 as compared to 2000. The increase in bad debt expense relates to a reversal of expense in 2000 for rents collected that were previously written off. In 2001, the Partnership wrote off $1,987 in finance charges that was assessed in 2000. Other expenses and other income did not significantly change between the two accounting periods.

        Gains from sales of properties accounted for $727,913 of net income. In April 2001, the Partnership sold a building in West Carrollton, Ohio that was formerly on lease to Kindercare. The net sale price for the building was $283,333 and a $148,012 gain was recognized on the sale. In June 2001, the Company received $20,289 for the holdback on the 1999 sale of Kindercare in Grove City, Ohio which was recognized as income in 2001. In September 2001, the Partnership sold two properties. The building in Columbus, Ohio was on lease to South Eastern Education. The sale prices was $253,000. The building in Middleberg, Ohio was on lease to Mountain Jack's. The sale price was $900,000. The Partnership recognized a gain of $123,231and $149,014, respectively, on the September sales. In December 2001, the Partnership sold two buildings that were on lease to Kindercare. The sale price on the building in Dayton, Ohio was $283,333.    The Partnership recognized a gain of $151,817 on the sale. The sale price on the building in Indianapolis, Indiana was $283,333.    The Partnership recognized a gain of $135,550 on the sale. There were no property sales in 2000.

Comparison of year ended December 31, 2000 to year ended December 31, 1999.

        The net income of the Partnership decreased by $447,310 in 2000 when compared to 1999. The differences in income and expenses are explained below.

        Rental revenue decreased by $65,620 or 11% to $532,483 in 2000 from $598,103 in 1999. The decrease in rental revenue was primarily attributed to the property sales in 1999. During 1999, the Partnership sold four properties. In February 1999, the Partnership sold a vacant building in Kenner, Louisiana that was formerly on lease to Toddle House Restaurant. The net sale price for the building was $222,849 and a $34,534 gain was recognized on the sale. In March 1999, the Partnership sold a building in Plant City, Florida that was on lease to Payless Shoe Store. The net sale price for the building was $645,975 and a $71,313 gain was recognized on the sale. In September 1999, the Partnership sold two buildings that were on lease to Kindercare. The net sale price for the Kindercare located in Gahanna, Ohio was $325,019 and the net sale price for the Kindercare located in Grove City, Ohio was $271,291. The partnership recognized a gain of $170,848 and $112,605, respectively, on these sales. These properties accounted for $71,228 in rental revenue in 1999. There were no property sales in 2000.

        Interest income decreased $18,151 or 15% over 1999. This decrease was largely due to cash balances from proceeds relating to the 1999 property sales before the funds were distributed to the partners.

        Operating expenses decreased by $25,761 or 14% in 2000 from 1999. Depreciation expense decreased by $9,087 or 9% due to property sales in 1999. Accounting and legal expenses increased by

5

$42,062 due to legal matters related to the transfer and ownership of certain partnership units. Bad debt expense decreased by $57,967 as compared to 1999. The decrease in bad debt expense relates to reserves for a tenant which was delinquent on their rents, but paid current in May 2000. Other expenses and other income varied very little between the two accounting periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        The Partnership has $917,409 in cash at December 31, 2001, with no outstanding debt on any of the properties that it owns. In January 2002, the Partnership distributed accumulated cash to the partners in the amount of $750,000. The Partnership has income of approximately $23,543 per month from rental revenue. Also, management does not expect the Partnership to incur any significant operational expenses as the Partnership properties are subject to triple-net leases.

        The Partnership's primary source of cash is from rental of the three real estate properties currently owned. The Partnership may also sell properties which would provide cash for distribution. Management believes that rental revenue should cover the recurring operating expenses of the Partnership and allow for cash distributions to be made to the limited partners unless buildings become vacant. The Partnership has the policy of paying quarterly distributions to the limited partners of the actual cash earned by the Partnership in the preceding quarter. Therefore, if expenses were to increase or revenue were to decrease, the Partnership would decrease the quarterly distributions to the limited partners.

        The Partnership has continued to distribute cash flows to the limited partners since 1989. The Partnership has been attempting to sell it properties and owns three remaining real estate properties. Although future distributions may be supplemented by proceeds from property sales or principal repayment of notes receivable, as additional properties are sold or notes receivable are repaid, proceeds will be distributed to the partners instead of reinvested, and future distributions are expected to decrease. Eventually, there may no longer be enough cash flows for distributions.

        Inflation is not expected to negatively impact the operations of the Partnership due to the structure of its investment portfolio. The leases all provide a minimum rental which the lessee is obligated to pay. Additionally, most leases contain some form of inflation hedge which provides for the rent to be increased. The rent increases may be in the form of scheduled fixed minimum rent increases, Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments or by participating in a percentage of the gross sales volume of the tenant. Since the triple-net leases require the lessees to pay for all property operating expenses, the net effect is that the revenue received will not be eroded away as operating expenses increase due to inflation. Should buildings become vacant, however, the Partnership may be responsible for certain expenses, including property taxes which are now being paid by tenants.

Certain Cautionary Statements

        Certain statements in this Form 10-K are not historical fact and constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results of the Partnership to be materially different from historical results or from any results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risk, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, the following risks:

        Economic Performance and Value of Properties Dependent on Many Factors.    Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. The economic performance and values of real estate can be affected by many factors, including changes in the national, regional and local economic climates, local conditions such as an oversupply of space or reductions in demand for real estate in the area, the attractiveness of the properties to tenants, competition from other available space, the ability of the owner to provide adequate maintenance and insurance and increased operating costs.

6

        Dependence on Rental Revenue from Real Property.    Since substantially all of the Partnership's income is derived from rental revenue from real property, the Partnership's income and funds for distribution would be adversely affected if a significant number of the Partnership's tenants were unable to meet their obligations to the Partnership, if the Partnership were unable to lease a significant amount of space in its buildings on economically favorable lease terms, or as the properties are sold. There can be no assurance that any tenant whose lease expires in the future will renew such lease or that the Partnership will be able to re-lease space on economically advantageous terms.

        Illiquidity of Real Estate Investments.    Equity real estate investments are relatively illiquid and therefore tend to limit the ability of the Partnership to vary its portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions.

        Risk of Bankruptcy of Tenants.    The bankruptcy or insolvency of a tenant would have an adverse impact on the property affected and on the income produced by such property. Under bankruptcy law, a tenant has the option of assuming (continuing) or rejecting (terminating) any unexpired lease. If the tenant assumes its lease with the Partnership, the tenant must cure all defaults under the lease and provide the Partnership with adequate assurance of its future performance under the lease. If the tenant rejects the lease, the Partnership's claim for breach of the lease would (absent collateral securing the claim) be treated as a general unsecured claim. The amount of the claim would be capped at the amount owed for unpaid pre-petition lease payments unrelated to the rejection, plus the greater of one years' lease payments or 15% of the remaining lease payments payable under the lease (but not to exceed the amount of three years' lease payments). At December 31, 2001, the Company had no tenants under bankruptcy.

        Environmental Risks.    Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, the Partnership may be considered an owner or operator of real property or may have arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances and, therefore, may become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances released on or in its property or disposed of by it, as well as certain other potential costs which could relate to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property). Such liability may be imposed whether or not the Partnership knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous toxic substances.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Organization

        Excel Properties, Ltd. (the "Partnership") was formed in the State of California on September 19, 1985, for the purpose of, but not limited to, acquiring real property and syndicating such property.

Real Estate

        Land and buildings are recorded at cost. Buildings are depreciated using the straight-line method over the tax life of 31.5 years. The tax life does not differ materially from the economic useful life. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renovations are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of real estate are removed from the accounts upon disposition. Gains and losses arising from the dispositions are reported as income or expense.

        The Partnership assesses whether there has been an impairment in the value of its real estate by considering factors such as expected future operating income, trends, and prospects, as well as the effects of the demand, competition and other economic factors. Such factors include a lessee's ability to pay rent under the terms of the lease. If a property is leased at a significantly lower rent, the Partnership may recognize a permanent impairment loss if the income stream is not sufficient to recover its investment.

Cash Deposits

        At December 31, 2001, the carrying amount of the Partnership's cash deposits total $917,409. The bank balances are $1,018,542 of which $200,000 which is covered by federal depository insurance.

Statement of Cash Flows—Supplemental Disclosure

        There was no interest or taxes paid for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, or 1999. The Partnership issued a note receivable as part of a sale of real estate during the year ended December 31, 2001. The Partnership had no noncash investing or financing transactions in 2000, or 1999.

Income Taxes

        The Partnership is not liable for payment of any income taxes because as a partnership, it is not subject to income taxes. The tax effects of its activities accrue directly to the partners.

Accounts Receivable

        All net accounts receivable are deemed to be collectible within the next 12 months.

Financial Statement Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F-7

Reclassifications

        Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 in order to conform with the current period presentation.
