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 village
centers, and (ii) the development and sale of land, primarily in Columbia,
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
(the "Trust"), an entity that is neither owned nor controlled by the Company,
owns 91% of the voting stock.

The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT)
pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, effective January 1,
1998. In general, a corporation that distributes at least 90% of its REIT
taxable income to shareholders in any taxable year and complies with certain
other requirements (relating primarily to the nature of its assets and the
sources of its revenues) is not subject to Federal income taxation to the extent
of the income which it distributes. Management believes that the Company met the
qualifications for REIT status as of December 31, 2000 and intends for it to
meet the qualifications in the future and to distribute at least 90% of its REIT
taxable income (determined after taking into account any net operating loss
deduction) to shareholders in 2001 and subsequent years. The Company will elect
to treat certain Non-REIT Subsidiaries as Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (TRS), which
will be subject to Federal and state income taxes beginning in 2001. Except with
respect to the TRS, management does not believe that the Company will be liable
for significant income taxes at the Federal level or in most of the states in
which it operates in 2001 and future years. All dividends on common

I-1


stock paid subsequent to December 31, 1997 have been distributions of ordinary
income.

Developments in 2000 and 2001

Relying on certain provisions of the REIT Modernization Act, which was
enacted into law in December 1999, the Company negotiated agreements in the
fourth quarter of 2000 to acquire the voting stock of the Non-REIT Subsidiaries
owned by the Trust. On January 2, 2001, the Company exchanged 137,928 shares of
common stock for the Trust's shares of voting common stock of the Non-REIT
Subsidiaries. The shares acquired by the Company constitute all of the Trust's
interests in the Non-REIT Subsidiaries. The fair value of the consideration
exchanged was approximately $3.5 million. As a result of this transaction, the
Company owns 100% of the voting common stock of the Non-REIT Subsidiaries.

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, fund development costs and
repurchase (subject to certain price restrictions) up to $250 million of the
Company's common stock. In January 2000, the Company completed disposition and
transaction structuring plans and began marketing interests in the identified
properties. In 2000, the Company sold several of the identified buildings in the
Baltimore-Washington corridor and contributed its ownership interests in
industrial buildings in two Las Vegas business parks to a real estate venture
from which the Company received a cash distribution and a minority interest in
the venture. The Company used a portion of the cash proceeds from these and
other transactions to repurchase approximately $66 million (2.8 million shares)
of its common stock. Since 1999, the Company has repurchased approximately $101
million (4.4 million shares) of its common stock. In January 2001, the Company
ceased actively marketing substantially all of the remaining buildings in the
Baltimore-Washington corridor as a result of the Company pursuing other
strategies to obtain additional liquidity. However, the Company may dispose of
these and other properties as opportunities arise.

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 2000
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, 2000, the 42 regional retail
centers and retail components of 5 mixed-use projects owned, in whole or in
part, or operated by subsidiaries or affiliates of the Company or by Non-REIT
Subsidiaries, aggregated 39,778,000 square feet, including 23,506,000 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, 2000,
Non-REIT Subsidiaries of the Company managed 5 such centers, which are included
in the figures in the preceding paragraph and aggregated 5,171,000 square feet
of leasable space, 2,859,000 square feet of which was department store space.

The Howard Research And Development Corporation ("HRD", a Non-REIT
Subsidiary of the Company) and its subsidiaries own and/or manage 12 village
centers with 1,223,000 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 village centers with 238,000 square feet of leasable space in
Summerlin, Nevada.

Office and Other Properties:
---------------------------

HHPLP and its subsidiaries and affiliates own and/or manage 40 office and
industrial buildings with 2,107,000 square feet of leasable space, and other
properties in and around Las Vegas, Nevada. HRD and its subsidiaries own and/or
manage

I-4


12 office buildings with 1,135,000 square feet of leasable space and other
properties in Columbia, Maryland.

Other subsidiaries of the Company own and operate 5 mixed-use projects with
leasable retail space (included in the fourth preceding paragraph) and 1,880,000
square feet of leasable office space. Other subsidiaries of the Company own, in
whole or in part, 65 office and industrial buildings with a total of 4,438,000
square feet of leasable space.

The activities involved in operating and managing office and other
properties include: negotiating lease terms with present and prospective
tenants, identifying and attracting desirable new tenants, conducting local
market research, developing and implementing short- and long-term and leasing
programs, assisting tenants in the layout of their spaces 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 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
expansions of an existing master-planned business park in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I-5


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 1,300 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 7,800 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.

General
-------

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.

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

I-6


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 3,749 full-time and part-time employees at December 31, 2000.

I-7


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 45 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. 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 are as follows:

NOTES TO COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


(1) Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Description of business
Through their subsidiaries and affiliates, the real estate ventures (Ventures)
owned by The Rouse Company Incentive Compensation Statutory Trust (Trust) and
The Rouse Company (Company) acquire, develop and 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 buildings. The retail centers include The Mall in Columbia, a
regional shopping center in Columbia, Maryland, and several village 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.

(b) Basis of presentation
The combined consolidated financial statements of 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 accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

Effective in the fourth quarter of 2000, the Ventures adopted the Emerging
Issues Task Force consensus on Issue 00-1, "Investor Balance Sheet and Income
Statement Display under the Equity Method for Investments in Certain
Partnerships and Other Ventures (EITF 00-1)." The consensus requires that the
proportionate share method of accounting (under which an entity records its
share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of partnerships and
other ventures in which it has joint interest and control) be discontinued,
except in limited circumstances. As a result of adopting this consensus, the
Ventures' share of the net assets of a venture in which they have joint interest
and control is carried in investments in and advances to unconsolidated real
estate ventures in the balance sheets and their share of net earnings is carried
in equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated real estate ventures in the
statements of operations.

The adoption of EITF 00-1 affected previously reported balances as follows:

1999
----
Decrease in:
Total property................................................. $ 43,422
Other assets................................................... 2,257
Total debt..................................................... (40,544)
Other liabilities.............................................. (907)
---------
Net increase in investments in and advances to unconsolidated
real estate ventures........................................... $ 4,228
=========

IV-11




1999 1998
---- ----

Decrease in:
Revenues................................................................... $ 8,931 $ 8,712
Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization............. (3,327) (3,393)
Interest expense........................................................... (3,253) (3,025)
Depreciation and amortization.............................................. (977) (941)
-------- --------
Net increase in equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated real
estate ventures............................................................ $ 1,374 $ 1,353
======== ========


In addition to reclassifications attributable to the adoption of EITF 00-1,
certain other amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform to the
presentation for 2000.

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. 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.

Relying on the REIT Modernization Act, the Company negotiated an agreement
to reacquire the voting stock of the Ventures owned by the Trust and on January
2, 2001, the Company exchanged 137,928 shares of common stock for the Trust's
shares of voting stock in the Ventures. The voting shares acquired by the
Company constitute all of the Trust's interests in the Ventures. The fair value
of the consideration exchanged was approximately $3.5 million. As a result of
this transaction, the Company owns 100% of the voting common stock of the
Ventures, and accordingly, the Ventures will be consolidated in the Company's
financial statements from the date of the acquisition.

(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. Provisions are 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 undiscounted 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. Fair values are determined based on estimated future cash flows
using appropriate discount and capitalization rates.

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
the properties are actively marketed for sale. 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. If active
marketing ceases, the properties are reclassified as operating, depreciation is
resumed and deferred selling costs, if any, are expensed.

IV-12


(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 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 terms of the Agreement,
additional shares of the Company's common stock (or in certain circumstances,
Increasing Rate Cumulative Preferred stock) are issuable to the beneficiaries
based on the appraised values of four defined groups of acquired assets at
specified "termination dates" from 2000 to 2009 and/or cash flows generated from
the development and/or sale of those 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 liabilities
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.

========== ==========


Investments in properties consolidated by the Company at December 31, 2000
and 1999 consist of limited partnership interests in retail centers, mixed-use
properties and office and industrial buildings which are controlled by the
Company. These investments are accounted for using the equity method of
accounting. In 2000, the Ventures contributed ownership interests in three
office properties to a limited partnership controlled by the Company in exchange
for a minority interest in that partnership. Additionally, the Venture received
capital distributions of $25.6 million from two other limited partnerships and
used the proceeds to repay certain loans from the Company. The condensed,
combined balance sheets of these partnerships at December 31, 2000 and 1999 and

approximately $1.4 million in 2000 and $.8 million in 1998. In 1999, the
Ventures' share of operations in these partnerships was a loss of
approximately $.6 million.

Investments in other unconsolidated real estate ventures consist
primarily of partnership interests in retail centers and properties in
development. These investments are accounted for using the equity or cost
method, as appropriate. The December 31, 2000 and 1999 condensed, combined
balance sheets of these partnerships accounted for using the equity method

The Ventures' share of the net earnings in these partnerships was
approximately $2.3 million in 2000 and $1.4 million in 1998. In 1999, the
Ventures' share of the operations in these partnerships was a loss of $1.3
million.

(4) Accounts and notes receivable

Accounts and notes receivable at December 31, 2000 and 1999 are summarized
as follows (in thousands):



2000 1999
---- ----

Accounts receivable, primarily accrued rents and
income under tenant leases......................... $ 7,357 $ 11,524

64,759 89,138
Less allowance for doubtful receivables.............. 490 589
-------- --------
Total........................................... $ 64,269 $ 88,549
======== ========


Accounts and notes receivable due after one year at December 31, 2000
and 1999 were $30.8 million and $47.2 million, 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

IV-15


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.

The Ventures had advances to the Company that were repaid in 1999.
Interest on these advances was $2.6 million in 1999 and $9 million 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 $1.6
million in 2000 and $3.3 million in 1999 and $2.5 million 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 $.5 million in
2000 and $.6 million in each of 1999 and 1998.

IV-16


The deed of trust notes payable to the Company are secured by certain
land and operating properties and general assignments of rents. In 2000,
the Ventures and the Company modified the terms of one of the notes to
provide for payment prior to its scheduled maturity. The modified terms
required payment of $37.9 million in December 2000 and the remaining
principal in January 2001. The remaining 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 $265,264,000 bear interest at 12.25% through December 2001, 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 $39.7 million in 2000, $43.1 million in
1999 and $45.7 million in 1998.

The Ventures have five separate credit line facilities with the
Company that provide for aggregate borrowings of up to $115 million. 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 $1.4 million in 2000, $4.6 million in 1999
and $1.2 million in 1998.

Other loans payable to the Company are unsecured and are due at
various dates through 2008. The notes bear interest at a variable rate
(8.25% at December 31, 2000) which is based on the weighted-average
interest rate of certain borrowings of the Company and subsidiaries.
Interest on the other loans was $11.4 million in 2000, $9.9 million in 1999
and $6.5 million 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, 2000, bears
interest at a weighted-average effective rate of 7.7%. At December 31,
2000, approximately $193,665,000 of the mortgages were payable to one
lender.

Other debt consists of special improvement district bonds with various
maturity dates through February 2020 and bears interest at a weighted-
average effective rate of 7.6% at December 31, 2000.

The annual maturities of debt at December 31, 2000 are summarized as
follows (in thousands):

-------- --------- ---------
Total.................. $450,710 $ 326,290 $ 777,000
======== ========= =========

The amount due to the Company in 2001 was paid using the proceeds from
borrowings under a line of credit facility obtained in December 2000 and
additional borrowings under the credit line facilities with the Company.
The credit facility obtained in December 2000 is with a group of lenders
and provides for unsecured borrowings of up to $140 million. Advances under
the facility bear interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 1%. The
facility is available to 2003, subject to a one-year renewal option. There
were no borrowings under this facility in 2000.

Total interest costs were $77.1 million in 2000, $82.2 million in 1999
and $80.5 million in 1998, of which $14.2 million, $17.2 million and $15.3
million, respectively, were capitalized.

In 2000, the Ventures incurred an extraordinary loss of $13.3 million
(prepayment penalty of $22.1 million, net of deferred tax benefit of $8.8
million) in connection with the extinguishment of a deed of trust note
payable to the Company as discussed above. Proceeds from operating cash
flows were used to pay the penalty. In 1998, the Ventures incurred
extraordinary losses related to extinguishments of debt held by other
lenders prior to scheduled maturity of $1.9 million, less related deferred
income tax benefits of $.8 million. The sources of funds used to pay the
debt and fund the prepayment penalties, where applicable, were refinancings
of the related properties.

IV-17



The carrying amounts of the borrowings from the Company approximate
fair value at December 31, 2000 and 1999. The carrying amounts and
estimated fair values of the Ventures' other debt at December 31, 2000 and
1999 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

2000 1999
---- ----

Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated

-------- -------- --------- ---------
Total................ $326,290 $329,198 $ 310,103 $ 294,741
======== ======== ========= =========

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, are
subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant
judgment. Settlement of the Ventures' debt obligations at fair value may
not be possible and may not be a prudent management decision.

(7) Income taxes

Income tax expense attributable to continuing operations is reconciled to
the amount computed by applying the Federal corporate tax rate as follows

The tax effects of temporary differences and loss carryforwards
included in the net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2000 and 1999 are
summarized as follows (in thousands):

2000 1999
---- ----
Property, primarily differences in depreciation and
amortization, the tax basis of land assets and
treatment of interest and certain other costs... $ (13,123) $ 7,411
Operating loss and tax credit carryforwards........ 29,954 26,031
Other.............................................. 3,433 3,122
--------- --------
Total............................... $ 20,264 $ 36,564
========= ========

IV-18


The net operating losses carried forward from December 31, 2000 for
Federal income tax purposes aggregate approximately $91.8 million. 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 the uncertainty
of realizing certain operating 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) Other provisions and losses, net

In 1999, other provisions and losses, net consisted primarily of 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.

(9) Gains on operating properties, net

The net gain on operating properties in 1999 relates primarily to the sale
of two office/industrial buildings. The net gain on operating properties in
1998 relates primarily to sales of a hotel property and two
office/industrial buildings.

(10) 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. Cumulative dividends through December 31,
2000 of $14.9 million were paid in 2000. 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.

(11) Leases

The Ventures, as lessee, have entered into operating leases expiring at
various dates through 2062. Rents under such leases aggregated $.5 million
in each of 2000, 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, 2000 are
summarized as follows (in thousands):

2001................................ $ 487
2002................................ 451
2003................................ 280
2004................................ 260
2005................................ 258
Subsequent to 2005.................. 14,611
--------
Total.......................... $ 16,347

Space in the Ventures' operating properties is leased to tenants under
operating leases. 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):

(12) 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 $.5 million in each of
2000 and 1999 and $1.0 million in 1998, 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 2000, 1999 and 1998 include
license fees and service cost reimbursements to the Company of
approximately $12.1 million, $8.8 million and $8.3 million, 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 $2.0 million, $2.1 million and $2.2 million in 2000,
1999 and 1998, respectively, and related primarily to development of an
expansion of a regional shopping center and new office buildings in
Columbia and Summerlin.

(13) 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 $15.6 million at December 31, 2000.

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, 2000, outstanding borrowings
by the Company under the facility were $198 million.

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.

Notes:

(1) The deed of trust notes receivable of the Company are secured by
certain land and operating properties and general assignments of rents
of the Real Estate Ventures owned by The Rouse Company Incentive
Compensation Statutory Trust ("Trust") and The Rouse Company. In 2000,
the Company and the Trust negotiated an agreement that provides for
the prepayment of the Howard Research and Development Corporation and
Subsidiaries note. Under the agreement, the revised due date of the
note is January 31, 2001. The other 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.

(2) The interest rate on the notes was 12.25% through December 2000, and
the greater of prime rate plus 3.75% or 10% thereafter to maturity or
repayment.

(3) The note bears interest at 12.25% throughout the term.
