Part I
------

Item 1. Business.

Item 1 (a). General Development of Business.

The Rouse Company (the "Company") was incorporated as a business
corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland in 1956. Its principal
offices are located at The Rouse Company Building, Columbia, Maryland
21044. Its telephone number is (410) 992-6000. The Company, through its
subsidiaries, affiliates and "Non-REIT Subsidiaries" (as defined below), is
engaged or has a material financial interest in (i) the ownership,
management, acquisition and development of income-producing and other real
estate in the United States, including retail centers, office buildings,
mixed-use projects and community retail centers, and the management of one
retail center in Canada, and (ii) the development and sale of land in
Maryland and the Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area for residential,
commercial and industrial uses. "Non-REIT Subsidiaries" are companies as to
which substantially all (at least 98%) of the financial interest is held by
the Company, but in which The Rouse Company Incentive Compensation
Statutory Trust, an entity that is neither owned nor controlled by the
Company, owns 91% of the voting stock.

In December 1997, the Company determined that it would elect to be taxed as
a real estate investment trust (REIT) effective January 1, 1998. The
Company believes that it has met the qualifications for REIT status since
January 1, 1998, and it intends to meet the qualifications in the future
and to distribute at least 95% of its REIT taxable income (determined after
taking into account any net operating loss deduction) to stockholders.
Accordingly, management does not believe that the Company will be liable
for payment of significant income taxes (except, possibly, in certain
states). All dividends on common stock paid subsequent to December 31, 1997
have been distributions of ordinary income.

Developments in 1999

During the third and fourth quarters of 1998, subsidiaries of the Company
purchased ownership interests in seven retail centers from TrizecHahn
Centers Inc. for approximately $1.2 billion. The centers are Park Meadows
Mall in suburban Denver, Colorado, Towson Town Center in suburban
Baltimore, Maryland, The Fashion Show on "The Strip" in Las Vegas, Nevada
(in which a Company subsidiary already held a 75% ownership interest),
Fashion Place in Salt Lake City, Utah, Bridgewater Commons Mall in
Bridgewater, New Jersey, Valley

I-1


Fair in San Jose, California and Westdale Mall in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Upon
completion of the acquisitions, subsidiaries of the Company held 100%
ownership interests in these centers, except that the subsidiaries held a
50% interest in Valley Fair and a 20.5% interest in Westdale Mall. At the
time of the acquisitions, the Company decided to hold for sale its
interests in Valley Fair and Westdale Mall. In June 1999, the Company sold
its interest in Valley Fair for proceeds approximating the acquisition
cost.

On February 1, 1999, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company completed the
establishment of a joint venture (the "Four State Venture"), relating to
four retail centers, with a venture (the "Morgan/NYSTRS Venture")
consisting of the J.P. Morgan Strategic Property Fund and the New York
State Teachers' Retirement System. The centers were acquired in 1998 from
TrizecHahn Centers Inc., and are Park Meadows Mall, Towson Town Center,
Fashion Place and Bridgewater Commons Mall. The total cost of the retail
center assets and related liabilities contributed to the Four State Venture
were approximately $957 million and $542 million, respectively. The
Morgan/NYSTRS Venture made a $271 million cash contribution to the Four
State Venture, which is approximately 65% of the Company's net cost of the
properties. The Company subsidiary effectively has a 35% ownership interest
in the Four State Venture, while the Morgan/NYSTRS Venture has a 65%
ownership interest.

In September 1999, the Company announced that it would pursue developing a
strategy to sell interests in certain office and industrial properties and
land parcels, and use the proceeds to repay debt and repurchase (subject to
certain price restrictions) up to $250 million of the Company's common
stock. Management subsequently identified the specific properties the
Company may sell (mostly office and industrial buildings in the Baltimore-
Washington corridor and certain business parks in Las Vegas) and was
developing alternative disposition plans and structures at December 31,
1999. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had repurchased approximately
1.6 million shares of common stock for approximately $34.8 million.

Item 1(b). Financial Information About Industry Segments.

Information required by Item 1(b) is incorporated herein by reference to
note 8 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the
1999 Annual Report to Shareholders.

As noted in Item 1(a), the Company is a real estate company engaged,
through its subsidiaries, affiliates and having a material financial
interest, through its Non-REIT Subsidiaries, in most aspects of the real
estate industry, including the management, acquisition and development of
income-producing and other properties, both retail and commercial,
community development and management, and land development. These business
segments are further described below.

Item 1(c). Narrative Description of Business.

Retail Centers:
- --------------

As set forth in Item 2, at December 31, 1999, the 46 regional retail
centers owned, in whole or in part, or operated by subsidiaries or
affiliates of the Company or by Non-REIT Subsidiaries, aggregated
42,791,000 square feet, including 25,012,000 square feet owned by or leased
to department stores. The activities involved in operating and managing
retail centers include: negotiating lease terms with present and
prospective tenants, identifying and attracting desirable new tenants,
conducting local market and consumer research, developing and implementing
short- and long-term merchandising and leasing programs, assisting tenants
in the presentation of their merchandise and the layout of their stores and
store fronts, and maintaining the building and common areas.

In conjunction with other partners or investors, the Company, through its
subsidiaries and affiliates and Non-REIT subsidiaries, acquires interests
in completed retail centers, with the Company (or, beginning December 31,
1997, its Non-REIT Subsidiaries) having management responsibility and
earning incentive fees. Affiliates of the Company (or, beginning December
31, 1997, Non-REIT Subsidiaries) also provide management services for
centers developed and owned by others under management agreements that also
provide for incentive fees and, in some instances, equity interests in the
centers. As of December 31, 1999, Non-REIT Subsidiaries of the Company
managed 10 such centers, which are included in the figures in the preceding
paragraph and aggregated 10,608,000 square feet of leasable space,
6,061,000 square feet of which was department store space.

I-3


The Howard Research And Development Corporation ("HRD", a Non-REIT
Subsidiary of the Company) and its subsidiaries own and/or manage 12
community retail centers with 914,000 square feet of leasable space, The
Mall in Columbia (which is included in the second preceding paragraph) and
other properties in Columbia, Maryland. Howard Hughes Properties, Limited
Partnership ("HHPLP", a majority owned affiliate of the Company) and its
subsidiaries and affiliates own interests in 2 community retail centers
with 238,000 square feet of leasable space in Summerlin, Nevada.

Office, Mixed-Use and Other Properties:
- --------------------------------------

HHPLP and its subsidiaries and affiliates own and/or manage 65 office and
industrial buildings with 4,189,000 square feet of leasable space, and
other properties in and around Las Vegas, Nevada. HRD and its subsidiaries
own and/or manage 12 office and industrial buildings with 1,099,000 square
feet of leasable space and other properties in Columbia, Maryland.

Other subsidiaries of the Company own and operate 5 mixed-use projects with
a total of 686,000 square feet of leasable retail space, a 90,000 square
foot cinema and 1,891,000 square feet of leasable office space. Other
subsidiaries of the Company own, in whole or in part, 72 office and
industrial buildings with a total of 4,889,000 square feet of leasable
space.

The activities involved in operating and managing office, mixed-use and
other properties include: negotiating lease terms with present and
prospective tenants, identifying and attracting desirable new tenants,
conducting local market and consumer research, developing and implementing
short- and long-term merchandising and leasing programs, assisting tenants
in the presentation of their merchandise and the layout of their stores and
store fronts, and maintaining the building and common areas.

Development:
- -----------

The Company, through its subsidiaries, affiliates and Non-REIT
subsidiaries, renovates and expands existing retail centers and develops
suburban and downtown retail centers, mixed-use projects and master-planned
business parks, primarily for ownership. In addition, the Company is
capable of serving as the master developer for certain mixed-use projects,
with the Company generally owning at least the retail component of such
projects. The activities involved in the development, renovation and
expansion of retail centers, mixed-use projects and master-planned business
parks include: initial market and consumer research, evaluating and
acquiring land sites, obtaining necessary public approvals, engaging
architectural and engineering

I-4


firms to design the project, estimating development costs, developing and
testing pro forma operating statements, selecting a general contractor,
arranging construction and permanent financing, identifying and obtaining
department stores and other tenants, negotiating lease terms, negotiating
partnership and joint venture agreements and promoting new, renovated or
expanded retail centers, mixed-use projects and master-planned business
parks.

The Company and certain subsidiaries, affiliates and Non-REIT Subsidiaries
are in the construction or development stage of announced projects,
primarily the development of new retail centers, expansions of existing
retail centers and mixed-use projects, and expansions of existing master-
planned business parks in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Land Sales Operations:
- ---------------------

HRD, a Non-REIT Subsidiary of the Company, is the developing entity of
Columbia, Maryland, which is located in the Baltimore-Washington corridor.
HRD owns approximately 1,500 salable acres of land in and around Columbia,
and, through its subsidiaries and affiliates, develops and sells this land
to builders and other developers for residential, commercial and industrial
uses. The Hughes Corporation and Howard Hughes Properties, Inc.
(collectively "Hughes", Non-REIT Subsidiaries of the Company) and their
subsidiaries and affiliates are the developers of Summerlin, Nevada, which
is located immediately north and west of Las Vegas, Nevada. Hughes owns
approximately 8,200 salable acres of land in Summerlin, and develops and
sells this land to builders and other developers for residential and
commercial uses. Other affiliates or subsidiaries of the Company may also
purchase some of this land for their own development purposes. Non-REIT
Subsidiaries of the Company, directly or through affiliates, are also
presently involved in community development and related land sales
elsewhere in Maryland, and are developing or holding for sale parcels of
land elsewhere in Nevada and California.

In all aspects of the Company's business pertaining to the ownership,
management, acquisition or development of income-producing and other real
estate, the Company and its subsidiaries, affiliates and Non-REIT
Subsidiaries operate in highly competitive markets. With respect to the
leasing and operation or management of developed properties, each project
faces market competition from existing and future developments in its
geographical market area.

The Company's affiliates and Non-REIT Subsidiaries also face competition in
and around Columbia, Maryland and Las Vegas, Nevada with respect to the
development and sale of land for residential, commercial and industrial
uses.

I-5


Neither the Company's business, taken as a whole, nor any of its operating
segments, is seasonal in nature.

Federal, state and local statutes and regulations relating to the
protection of the environment have previously had no material effect on the
Company's business. Future development opportunities of the Company may
involve additional capital and other expenditures in order to comply with
such statutes and regulations. It is impossible at this time to predict
with any certainty the magnitude of any such expenditures or the long-range
effect, if any, on the Company's operations. Compliance with such laws has
had no material adverse effect on the operating results or competitive
position of the Company in the past; the Company anticipates that they will
have no material adverse effect on its future operating results or its
competitive position in the industry.

None of the Company's operating segments depends upon a single customer or
a few customers, the loss of which would have a materially adverse effect
on the segment. No customer accounts for 10 percent or more of the
consolidated revenues of the Company.

The Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates and Non-REIT Subsidiaries
employed 4,140 full-time and part-time employees at December 31, 1999.

I-6


Item 2. Properties.

The Company leases its headquarters building (approximately 127,000 square
feet) in Columbia, Maryland for an initial term of 30 years which expires
in 2003 with options for two 15-year renewal periods. The lease on the
headquarters building is accounted for as a capital lease.

Information respecting the Company's operating properties is incorporated
herein by reference to the "Projects of The Rouse Company" table in pages
42 through 44 of Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K. The ownership of virtually
all properties is subject to mortgage financing. The table of projects
includes properties managed by Non-REIT Subsidiaries of the Company for a
fee as identified in notes (c) and (d) to the table. Excluding such managed
properties, certain of the remaining properties are subject to leases which
provide an option to purchase (or repurchase) the property and/or to renew
the leases for one or more renewal periods. The years of expiration
indicated below assume all options to extend the terms of leases are
exercised. The properties subject to such leases in whole or part
(including properties owned by Non-REIT Subsidiaries) are as follows:

The Rouse Company
NOTES TO COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999 and 1998


(1) Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of presentation
The combined consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the real
estate ventures (Ventures) owned by The Rouse Company Incentive Compensation
Statutory Trust (Trust) and The Rouse Company (Company). The Ventures include
the following entities:

. The Howard Research And Development Corporation and subsidiaries
. The Hughes Corporation and subsidiaries
. Howard Hughes Properties, Inc.
. Rouse Property Management, Inc.
. HRD Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries

The combined consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of
partnerships in which the Ventures have majority interest and control.
Investments in other entities are accounted for using the equity method.
Significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and
revenues and expenses recognized during the reporting period. Significant
estimates are inherent in the preparation of the Ventures' financial statements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain amounts for 1998 have been reclassified to conform to the
presentation for 1999.

The Ventures were initiated on December 31, 1997, when certain wholly owned
subsidiaries of the Company issued 91% of their voting common stock to the
Trust, an entity which is neither owned nor controlled by the Company, for an
aggregate consideration of $1,400,000. These sales were made at fair value and
as part of the Company's plan to meet the qualifications for status as a Real
Estate Investment Trust (REIT). The Company retained the remaining voting stock
of the Ventures and holds all outstanding shares of nonvoting common and/or
preferred stock and, in certain cases, mortgage loans receivable from the
Ventures which, taken together, comprise substantially all (at least 98%) of the
financial interest in them.

Due to the Company's continuing financial interest in the Ventures, the
Ventures retained the Company's historical cost basis of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed on the date of sale of their voting common stock to the
Trust. The condensed, combined consolidated balance sheet of the Ventures at
December 31, 1997, is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Assets:
Operating properties, net................................ $ 211,385
Properties in development................................ 23,144
Investment land and land held for development and sale... 266,477
Properties held for sale................................. 46,289

IV-10



(b) Description of business
Through their subsidiaries and affiliates, the Ventures acquire, develop and/or
manage income-producing properties and develop and sell land for residential,
commercial and other uses. The income-producing properties consist of retail
centers and office and industrial properties. The retail centers include The
Mall in Columbia, a regional shopping center in Columbia, Maryland, and several
community shopping centers, in the Columbia area. The office and industrial
properties are located in Columbia and Las Vegas, Nevada. Land development and
sales operations are predominantly related to large-scale, long-term community
development projects in Columbia and Summerlin, Nevada.

(c) Property
Properties to be developed or held and used in operations are carried at cost
reduced for impairment losses, where appropriate. Properties held for sale are
carried at cost reduced for valuation allowances, where appropriate.
Acquisition, development and construction costs of properties in development and
land development projects are capitalized including, where applicable, salaries
and related costs, real estate taxes, interest and preconstruction costs. The
preconstruction stage of development of an operating property (or an expansion
of an existing property) includes efforts and related costs to secure land
control and zoning, evaluate feasibility and complete other initial tasks which
are essential to development. These costs are transferred to construction and
development in progress when the preconstruction tasks are completed. Provision
is made for potentially unsuccessful preconstruction efforts by charges to
operations. Development and construction costs and costs of significant
improvements, replacements and renovations at operating properties are
capitalized, while costs of maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Direct costs associated with financing and leasing of operating properties
are capitalized as deferred costs and amortized using the interest or straight-
line methods, as appropriate, over the periods benefited by the expenditures.

Depreciation of operating properties is computed using the straight-line
method. Properties are generally depreciated using composite lives ranging from
40 to 55 years producing effective annual rates of depreciation ranging from
1.6% to 2.5%.

If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an operating
property to be held and used or a land development project may be impaired, a
recoverability analysis is performed based on estimated nondiscounted future
cash flows to be generated from the property or project. If the analysis
indicates that the carrying value is not recoverable from future cash flows, the
property or project is written down to estimated fair value and an impairment
loss is recognized.

Properties held for sale are carried at the lower of their carrying values
(i.e., cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment loss recognized,
where applicable) or estimated fair values less costs to sell. The net carrying
values of operating properties are classified as properties held for sale when
marketing of the properties for sale is authorized by management. Depreciation
of these properties is discontinued at that time, but operating revenues,
interest and other operating expenses continue to be recognized until the date
of sale.

(d) Sales of property
Gains from sales of operating properties and revenues from land sales are
recognized using the full accrual method provided that various criteria relating
to the terms of the transactions and any subsequent involvement by the Ventures
with the properties sold are met. Gains or revenues relating to transactions
which do not meet the established criteria are deferred and recognized when the
criteria are met or using the installment or cost recovery methods, as
appropriate in the circumstances. For land sale transactions under terms of
which the Ventures are required to perform additional services and incur
significant costs after title has passed, revenues and costs of sales are
recognized proportionately on a percentage of completion basis.

Cost of land sales is generally determined as a specified percentage of
land sales revenues recognized for each land development project. The cost
percentages used are based on estimates of development costs and sales revenues
to completion of each project and are revised periodically for changes in
estimates or development plans. The specific identification method is used to
determine cost of sales of certain parcels of land.

Certain of the land assets of the Ventures are the subject of a Contingent
Stock Agreement (Agreement) between the Company and the former owners of the
land or their successors (the beneficiaries). Under the Agreement, and subject
to various terms and conditions, the Company is required to issue shares of its
common stock (or, in certain circumstances, Increasing Rate Cumulative Preferred
stock) to the beneficiaries based on the appraised values of the assets at
specified "termination dates" from 2000 to 2009 and/or cash flows generated from
the development and/or sale of the assets prior to the termination dates.

The Company has retained full responsibility for its obligations under the
Agreement. These obligations are unsecured and have not been guaranteed by the
Ventures. Accordingly, the Agreement imposes no direct or contingent li-

IV-11


abilities on the Ventures and all related costs or expenses are recognized by
the Company.

(e) Leases
Leases which transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership to
tenants are considered finance leases and the present values of the minimum
lease payments and the estimated residual values of the leased properties, if
any, are accounted for as receivables. Leases which transfer substantially all
the risks and benefits of ownership to the Ventures are considered capital
leases and the present values of the minimum lease payments are accounted for as
property and liabilities.

In general, minimum rent revenues are recognized when due from tenants;
however, estimated collectible minimum rent revenues under leases which provide
for varying rents over their terms are averaged over the terms of the leases.

f) Income taxes
Deferred income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method.
Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary
differences between the financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards
based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are
realized or settled. However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the
extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized based on
consideration of available evidence, including tax planning strategies and other
factors.

(g) Cash and cash equivalents
Short-term investments with maturities at dates of purchase of three months or
less are classified as cash equivalents.

(h) Information about financial instruments
Fair values of financial instruments approximate their carrying values in the
financial statements except for debt for which fair value information is
provided in note 6.

--------- ---------
Total............................................... $ 107,813 $ 22,689
========= =========


Investments in properties owned jointly with the Company consist of a
limited partnership interest

IV-12


in a retail center and limited partnership interests in partnerships that own a
mixed-use property. The Ventures made additional capital contributions to the
limited partnerships in 1999 which then repaid certain loans from the Company.

The condensed, combined balance sheets of these limited partnerships at
December 31, 1999 and their condensed combined statements of operations for 1999
are summarized as follows (in thousands):



Total assets, primarily property............... $140,099

follows (in thousands):

1999 1998
--------- ----------
Accounts receivable, primarily accrued rents and

89,548 201,582
Less allowance for doubtful receivables 783 834
--------- ----------
Total............................................. $ 88,765 $ 200,748
========= ==========

Accounts and notes receivable due after one year at December 31, 1999 and
1998 were $47,156,000 and $41,263,000, respectively.

Credit risk with respect to receivables from tenants is not highly
concentrated due to the large number of tenants. The Ventures perform credit
evaluations of prospective new tenants and require security deposits in certain
circumstances. Tenants' compliance with the terms of their leases is monitored
closely, and the allowance for doubtful receivables is established based on
analyses of the risk of loss on specific tenant accounts, historical trends and
other relevant information. Notes receivable from sales of land are primarily
due from builders at the community development project in Summerlin. The
Ventures perform credit evaluations of the builders and generally require
substantial down payments (at least 20%) on all land sales that they finance.
These notes and notes from sales of operating properties are generally secured
by first liens on the related properties.

Advances to the Company are unsecured and without a stated due date.
Interest is charged (with limited exceptions) at the same rate that is charged
on the Ventures' credit facilities borrowings described in note 6. Interest on
these advances was $2,647,000 in 1999 and $9,067,000 in 1998.

(5) Pension and postretirement plans

Substantially all of the employees of the Ventures are eligible to participate
in a defined benefit pension plan (the "funded plan") sponsored by the Company.
In addition, employees whose defined benefits exceed the limits of the funded
plan are eligible to participate in separate, nonqualified unfunded plans
sponsored by the Company. Benefits under the pension plans are based on the
participants' years of service and compensation. The Ventures reimburse the
Company for their share of the annual benefit cost under the plan. The Ventures'
pension cost was $3,386,000 in 1999

IV-13


and $2,485,000 in 1998.

Full-time employees of the Ventures who meet minimum age and service
requirements are eligible to receive postretirement medical and life insurance
benefits under a plan sponsored by the Company. The Ventures reimburse the
Company for their share of the annual benefit costs under the plan, which
include a portion of the cost of participants' life insurance coverage and
contributions (based on years of service) to the cost of participants' medical
insurance coverage, subject to a maximum annual contribution. The Ventures'
postretirement benefit cost was $561,000 in 1999 and $606,000 in 1998.

(6) Debt

Debt at December 31, 1999 and 1998 is summarized as follows (in thousands):

1999 1998
---------- ----------
Borrowings from the Company:
Deed of trust notes payable......... $ 333,907 $ 362,167
Credit lines........................ 59,674 60,911

Other debt............................. 2,741 15,769
---------- ----------
Total............................... $ 865,438 $ 820,364
========== ==========

The deed of trust notes payable to the Company are secured by certain land
and operating properties and general assignments of rents. These notes are due
December 31, 2012, and minimum principal payments, based on a thirty-year
amortization schedule, are due quarterly. Specified principal payments are also
required when land is released from the deed of trust; however, payments made
due to partial releases reduce or offset the required quarterly payments. Notes
aggregating $319,907,000 bear interest at 12.25% through December 2000, and at
the greater of the prime rate plus 3.75% or 10% thereafter to maturity or
repayment. The remaining notes bear interest at 12.25% throughout their terms.
Interest on the notes was $43,052,000 in 1999 and $45,671,000 in 1998.

The Ventures have five separate credit line facilities with the Company
that provide for aggregate borrowings of up to $115,000,000. These facilities
may be used for various purposes, including acquisitions, development and other
corporate needs, subject to specified terms and conditions. The credit
facilities are available to December 31, 2012. Borrowings are secured by deeds
of trust on certain land assets. Borrowings under the credit facilities bear
interest at 9% through December 2001, and at the greater of the prime rate plus
3.75% or 10% thereafter. Interest on the credit line facilities was $4,553,000
in 1999 and $1,193,000 in 1998.

Other loans payable to the Company are unsecured and are due in equal
annual installments over periods to 2024. The notes bear interest at a variable
rate (8.5% at December 31, 1999) which is based on the weighted-average interest
rate of certain borrowings of the Company and subsidiaries. Interest on the
other loans was $9,930,000 in 1999 and $6,476,000 in 1998.

The mortgages payable to other lenders are secured by deeds of trust or
mortgages on properties and general assignments of rents. This debt matures at
various dates through 2017 and, at December 31, 1999, bears interest at a
weighted-average effective rate of 7.70%. At December 31, 1999, approximately
$236,663,000 of the mortgages were payable to one lender.

Other debt bears interest at a weighted-average effective rate of 6.92% at
December 31, 1999.

The annual maturities of debt at December 31, 1999 are summarized as follows

Total interest costs were $85,407,000 in 1999 and $83,411,000 in 1998, of
which $17,185,000 and $15,265,000, respectively, were capitalized.

During 1998, the Ventures incurred extraordinary losses related to
extinguishments of debt prior to scheduled maturity of $1,863,000, less related
deferred income tax benefits of $736,000. The sources of funds used to pay the
debt and fund the prepayment penalties, where applicable, were refinancings of
the related properties.

The carrying amounts of the borrowings from the Company approximate fair
value at December 31, 1999 and 1998. The carrying amounts and estimated fair
values of the Ventures' other debt at December 31, 1999 and 1998 are

Settlement of the Ventures' debt obligations at fair value may not be possible
and may not be a prudent management decision.

The tax effects of temporary differences and loss carryforwards included in
the net deferred tax asset at December 31, 1999 and 1998 are summarized as
follows (in thousands):

1999 1998
--------- ----------
Property, primarily differences in depreciation and
amortization, the tax basis of land assets and
treatment of interest and certain other costs ....... $ 7,411 $ 41,740
Operating loss and tax credit carryforwards............ 26,031 11,295
Other.................................................. 3,122 625
--------- ----------
Total................................................ $ 36,564 $ 53,660
========= ==========

IV-15


The net operating losses carried forward from December 31, 1999 for Federal
income tax purposes aggregate approximately $80,056,000. The loss carryforwards
will begin to expire in 2005.

As indicated above, the deferred tax assets relate primarily to differences
in the book and tax bases of property (particularly land assets) and to
operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax purposes. A valuation
allowance has been established due to significant uncertainty of realizing
certain loss carryforwards. Based on projections of future taxable income,
management believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax
assets, net of the valuation allowance, will be realized. The amount of the
deferred tax assets considered realizable could be reduced in the near term,
however, if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

(8) Gain on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net

Gain on dispositions of assets and other provisions, net, is summarized as
follows (in thousands):

1999 1998

Net gain on operating properties............. $ 2,635 $ 15,879
Other, net................................... (2,227) (23)
-------- ---------
Total..................................... $ 408 $ 15,856
======== =========

The net gain on operating properties in 1999 relates primarily to the sale
of two office/industrial buildings. The other net loss for 1999 relates
primarily to the Ventures' share of the costs of the Company's consolidation of
the management and administration of its Retail Operations and Office and Mixed-
Use Operations divisions into a single Property Operations Division, integration
of certain operating, administrative, and support functions of the Hughes
Division into other divisions and adoption of a voluntary early retirement
program in which employees who met certain criteria were eligible to
participate.
The net gain on operating properties in 1998 relates primarily to sales of
a hotel property and two office/industrial buildings.

9) Series A Preferred Stock

Howard Hughes Properties, Inc. (HHPI) has issued 25,000 shares of Series A
Preferred stock to the Company. The shares have a liquidation preference of
$2,000 per share and earn dividends at an annual rate of 9.9% of the liquidation
preference. Dividends are cumulative, however, no dividends were paid during
1999 or 1998 because HHPI incurred tax losses. Dividends in arrears at December
31, 1999 aggregated $8,900,000. At the option of the Company, the shares are
redeemable at any time to December 31, 2017 at a price of $2,000 per share.

(10) Leases

The Ventures, as lessee, have entered into operating leases expiring at various
dates through 2062. Rents under such leases aggregated $473,000 in 1999 and
1998. In addition, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance expenses are
obligations of the Ventures. Minimum rent payments due under operating leases in
effect at December 31, 1999 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

2000.................................. $ 428
2001.................................. 428
2002.................................. 428
2003.................................. 258

IV-16


Space in the Ventures' operating properties is leased to approximately 720
tenants. In addition to minimum rents, the majority of the retail center leases
provide for percentage rents when the tenants' sales volumes exceed stated
amounts, and the majority of the retail center and office leases provide for
other rents which reimburse the Ventures for certain of their operating
expenses. Rents from tenants are summarized as follows (in thousands):

1999 1998
--------- ---------
Minimum rents....................... $ 51,110 $ 47,977

(11) Other transactions with The Rouse Company

Under an informal agreement, the Company provides various services to the
Ventures, including accounting, data processing, legal, leasing, finance, and
other administrative and support functions. The Ventures reimburse the Company
for the cost of these services, determined in accordance with the Company's
established cost accounting practices. Under terms of a license agreement, the
Ventures paid the Company fees of $500,000 and $1,000,000 in 1999 and 1998,
respectively, in consideration for the right to use the Company's name in their
property management operations. The fee under the license agreement is
determined annually based on various operating factors. Operating expenses for
1999 and 1998 include license fees and service cost reimbursements to the
Company of approximately $8,750,000 and $8,305,000, respectively. The Ventures
also reimburse the Company for costs of any services it provides with respect to
development of operating properties. These costs were approximately $2,073,000
in 1999 and $2,198,000 in 1998, and related primarily to development of an
expansion of a regional shopping center and new office buildings in Columbia and
Summerlin.

(12) Other commitments and contingencies

Commitments for the construction and development of properties in the ordinary
course of business and other commitments not set forth elsewhere amount to
approximately $31,500,000 at December 31, 1999.

Certain of the Ventures have guaranteed payment of the Company's
obligations under a credit facility with a group of lenders, subject to various
terms and conditions. At December 31, 1999, outstanding borrowings under the
facility were $174,000,000.

The Ventures are defendants in various litigation matters arising in the
ordinary course of business, some of which involve claims for damages that are
substantial in amount. Some of these litigation matters are covered by
insurance. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for
losses with respect to litigation matters, where appropriate, and the ultimate
resolution of such litigation matters is not likely to have a material effect on
the combined financial position of the Ventures. Due to the Ventures'
fluctuating net earnings, it is not possible to predict whether the
resolution of these matters is likely to have a material effect on the Ventures'
combined net earnings and it is, therefore, possible that the resolution
of these matters could have such an effect in a future period.
