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 and affiliates, is engaged 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, community retail centers and two hotels, and the
management of one retail center in Canada, and (ii) the development and sale
of land to builders and other developers, primarily around Columbia,
Maryland, for residential, commercial and industrial uses.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS. On February 27, 1996, the Company entered into certain
merger agreements whereby the Company agreed, subject to certain conditions,
to acquire The Hughes Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("THC"), its
affiliated partnership, Howard Hughes Properties, Limited Partnership
("HHPLP"), a Delaware limited partnership, and their subsidiaries and
affiliates. THC and HHPLP are primarily engaged in real estate management
and development. The assets of THC and its subsidiaries include four
large-scale, master-planned business parks (three in Las Vegas and one in
Los Angeles), a 75% partnership interest in a regional shopping center in
Las Vegas, a 22,500 acre master planned, new community in Las Vegas and
a number of other land parcels and commercial buildings in both Nevada
and Los Angeles.

The Company agreed to acquire all the capital stock of THC ("THC Common
Stock") through a merger of THC into a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company (the "Merger"). The Company agreed to acquire the 48% of the
partnership interests of HHPLP which are not currently owned by THC through
a merger of another wholly owned subsidiary of the Company into HHPLP (the
"HHPLP Merger"). The purchase price includes debt presently encumbering the
assets of THC and its subsidiaries.

In the Merger, holders of THC Common Stock are to receive (i) shares of Rouse
Common Stock or, in the event that the number of shares of Rouse Common
Stock issuable in the Merger would otherwise exceed 19.9% of the currently
outstanding Rouse Common Stock, a combination of Rouse Common Stock and
cash, in each case having a value of $176.4 million, (ii) a note of up to
$15 million and (iii) contractual rights to receive additional shares of
Rouse Common Stock or, if the Company is

I-1


Item 1. Business, continued.

unable for any reason to deliver shares of Rouse Common Stock, shares of a
new series of increasing rate Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of
the Company over a period of up to 15 years following the consummation of
the Merger based upon certain formulas relating to the cash flow and
appraised value of certain assets of THC and its subsidiaries. The number
of shares to be issued in the Merger will be determined by the average
closing price of the stock for the 30 trading days ending five days prior to
the closing date subject to maximum and minimum prices.

Pursuant to the HHPLP Merger, holders of partnership interests in HHPLP (other
than THC) will be entitled to receive an amount of cash equal to (i) the sum
of (x) $40 million plus (y) the aggregate amount of cash and cash
equivalents held by THC and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 minus (ii)
certain expenses, subject to certain adjustments.

The transactions are conditioned upon approval by the requisite vote of the
holders of THC Common Stock and certain other closing conditions and,
accordingly, there can be no assurance that the transactions will be
consummated. See Exhibit 99.2 for a description of the risks related to
these transactions. The transactions are expected to close in the second
quarter of 1996.

Item 1. Business, continued.

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

Information required by Item 1(b) is incorporated herein by
reference to note 13 of the notes to consolidated financial statements
included in the 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders.

As noted in Item 1(a), the Company is a real estate company
engaged 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 sales. These business segments are further described
below.

Item 1. Business, continued.


Item 1(c). Narrative Description of Business.

Operating Properties:
--------------------

As set forth in Item 2, at December 31, 1995, the 66 regional
retail centers owned, in whole or in part, or operated by subsidiaries or
affiliates of the Company, aggregated 21,435,000 square feet of leasable
space, including 1,067,000 square feet leased to department stores and
402,000 square feet of office space. 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
storefronts, and maintaining the buildings and common areas.

In conjunction with other partners or investors, the Company
has a program of acquiring completed retail centers, with the Company having
management responsibility and earning incentive fees including, in some
instances, equity interests in the centers. The Company also has a program
of providing 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, 1995,
the Company managed 19 such centers, which are included in the figures in
the preceding paragraph and aggregated 6,097,000 square feet of leasable
space.

In addition to Columbia Mall, which is included in the figures
in the second preceding paragraph, The Howard Research And Development
Corporation ("HRD", a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and its
subsidiaries own and/or manage 17 office and industrial buildings and retail
centers with 3,081,000 square feet of leasable office space, 8 village
centers with 824,000 square feet of leasable retail space and other
properties and additional commercial space, including the 289-room Columbia
Inn in Columbia, Maryland.

Other subsidiaries of the Company own, in whole or in part, and
operate 11 office buildings with a total of 2,685,000 square feet of
leasable space and the 146-room Cross Keys Inn located at The Village of
Cross Keys in Baltimore, Maryland. The Company also has a 5% interest in
Rouse-Teachers Properties, Inc., which owns 76 office/industrial buildings
with 5,101,000

I-4


Item 1. Business, continued.

Item 1(c). Narrative Description of Business, continued:

square feet of space and 308 acres of land. A wholly owned affiliate of the
Company is responsible for the operation, management and development of all
buildings and land owned by Rouse-Teachers Properties, Inc.

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

The Company renovates and expands existing retail centers and
develops suburban and downtown retail centers and mixed-use projects,
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 and mixed-use projects 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
and mixed-use projects.

The Company and certain subsidiaries or affiliates are in the
construction or development stage of announced projects, primarily
expansions of existing centers.

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

HRD is the developing entity of Columbia, Maryland, which is
located in the Baltimore-Washington corridor. HRD owns approximately 1,837
saleable 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 Company,
through its subsidiaries and affiliates, also is presently involved in
community development and related land sales elsewhere in Maryland and is
developing for sale a parcel of land in 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 operates in highly competitive markets. With
respect to the leasing and operation or management of developed properties,
each project faces

I-5


Item 1. Business, continued.

Item 1(c). Narrative Description of Business, continued:

market competition from existing and future developments in its geographical
market area. The Company competes with developers and other buyers with
respect to the acquisition of development sites or centers and for financing
opportunities in the money markets. The Company also faces competition in
and around Columbia, Maryland 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 industry 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 industry 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 and its subsidiaries had 4,283 full- and part-
time employees at December 31, 1995.

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 on pages 58
through 62 of Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K. In addition to the properties
presented in the table, the Company owned Outlet Square in Atlanta, Georgia
and Talbottown in Easton, Maryland as of December 31, 1995. These properties
were sold in February, 1996. The ownership of virtually all properties is
subject to mortgage financing. The table of projects includes retail centers
managed by the Company for a fee as identified in notes (c) and (d) to the
table. Excluding such managed centers, 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
the leases are exercised. The properties subject to such leases in whole or
in part are as follows:

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

On November 6, 1990, Robert P. Guastella Equities, Inc. ("Plaintiff"), a former
tenant at the Riverwalk Shopping Center in New Orleans, Louisiana
("Riverwalk"), which is owned and operated by New Orleans Riverwalk
Associates, an affiliate of the Company ("NORA"), filed suit in the Civil
District Court of Orleans Parish, Louisiana against NORA, the Company, two
Company affiliates - Rouse-New Orleans, Inc. and New Orleans Riverwalk Limited
Partnership - and Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, which is a
general partner of NORA (collectively, "Defendants"). Plaintiff alleged that
Defendants breached Plaintiff's lease agreement with NORA for the operation of
a restaurant at Riverwalk by (i) failing to prevent the leased premises from
flooding, (ii) refusing to permit entertainment on the leased premises, (iii)
interfering with the operation of air conditioning equipment on the leased
premises and (iv) failing to provide adequate security. Plaintiff claimed
that as a result of these breaches it suffered losses and could not pay the
rentals due under the lease agreement, as a result of which the lease and its
tenancy were terminated by NORA. Plaintiff sought damages of approximately
$600,000 for these alleged breaches. In addition, on September 3, 1992,
Plaintiff claimed $33,000,000 for alleged lost future profits which it claimed
it would have earned had its lease not been terminated. All Defendants filed
answers denying the claims of Plaintiff and asserted other defenses. NORA
also asserted a counterclaim against Plaintiff and its guarantors, Robert
Guastella and Charles Kovacs, for past due rentals and other charges in the
approximate amount of $300,000 plus interest and attorneys' fees as provided
for in the lease agreement. The case was tried before a jury and, on October
28, 1993, the jury returned a verdict against Defendants upon which judgment
was entered by the trial court on January 7, 1994, in the total net amount of
approximately $9,128,000 (which included a net award for lost future profits
of approximately $8,640,000) plus interest from the date the suit was filed
and attorneys' fees in an amount to be determined. On May 6, 1994, the trial
court denied all post-trial motions of both Plaintiff and Defendants. The
trial court also entered an amended judgment in which it awarded Plaintiff
$450,000 in attorneys' fees and awarded Defendants $25,000 in attorneys' fees.

On May 23, 1994, Defendants appealed this judgment to the Louisiana Court of
Appeal, Fourth District. On November 16, 1995, the Louisiana Court of Appeal
in a 2 to 1 decision reduced the judgement by $240,000, but otherwise affirmed
the damage award to Plaintiff. Defendants subsequently filed a motion for
reconsideration with the Louisiana Court of Appeal, which was denied on
December 19, 1995, again in a 2 to 1 decision. On January 18, 1996,
Defendants filed a petition requesting the Louisiana Supreme Court to consider
a further appeal of this judgment. Plaintiff filed an opposition to this
petition on February 2, 1996, and Defendants submitted a reply brief on
February 21, 1996.

I-9


The Company recorded in the fourth quarter of 1995 a pre-tax provision in the
amount of $12,321,000, representing the full amount of the modified award
(including attorneys' fees) plus interest, less pre-tax provisions previously
recorded totaling $1,150,000. The Company believes that the ultimate
disposition of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
----------------------------


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
The Rouse Company:

We have audited the consolidated cost basis financial statements and the related
financial statement schedules of The Rouse Company and subsidiaries as listed in
the accompanying index. We have also audited the supplemental consolidated
current value basis financial statements listed in the index. These
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated cost basis financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The
Rouse Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules,
when considered in relation to the basic consolidated cost basis financial
statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.

As more fully described in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the
supplemental consolidated current value basis financial statements referred to
above have been prepared by management to present relevant financial information
about The Rouse Company and its subsidiaries which is not provided by the cost
basis financial statements and are not intended to be a presentation in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, as more
fully described in note 1, the supplemental consolidated current value basis
financial statements do not purport to present the net realizable, liquidation
or market value of the Company as a whole. Furthermore, amounts ultimately
realized by the Company from the disposal of properties may vary from the
current values presented.

In our opinion, the supplemental consolidated current value basis financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein on the basis of accounting described in note 1 to
the consolidated financial statements.
