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 met the qualifications for REIT status during 1998, and it
intends to continue to meet the qualifications in the future and to
distribute at least 100% 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 income taxes (except, possibly, in certain states).

Developments in 1998 and Early 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 Fair in San Jose, California and Westdale
Mall in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Upon completion of the acquisitions,

I-1


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.

On November 30, 1998, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company acquired for
approximately $373 million, from Teachers Properties, Inc. ("Teachers") its
interest in Rouse-Teachers Properties, Inc. ("RTPI"), an entity in which
Teachers held a 95% ownership interest and the Company held a 5% ownership
interest. The acquired assets of RTPI consisted of 22 office buildings in
metropolitan Baltimore, Maryland containing approximately 1,034,000 square
feet of leasable space, 26 industrial buildings in metropolitan Baltimore
containing approximately 1,675,000 square feet of leasable space, 8 office
buildings in Columbia, Maryland containing approximately 428,000 square
feet of leasable space, 10 office buildings in metropolitan Washington,
D.C. containing 1,227,000 square feet of leasable space, an office building
in suburban Harrisburg, Pennsylvania containing approximately 231,000
square feet of leasable space and approximately 107 saleable acres of land
in the Baltimore and Washington metropolitan areas. The Company sold three
of the acquired buildings in metropolitan Washington, D.C. on December 1,
1998 for an aggregate price of approximately $91 million.

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, all of which were acquired
in 1998 from TrizecHahn Centers Inc., 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 was 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 net cost. The Company
subsidiary effectively has a 35% ownership interest in the Four State
Venture, while the Morgan/NYSTRS Venture has a 65% ownership interest.

Additional information regarding the above developments is contained in the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K/A, filed on November 16, 1998, the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on December 14, 1998, the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on February 10, 1999, and the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K/A, filed on February 16, 1999.

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

Information required by Item 1(b) is incorporated herein by reference to note
9 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the 1998
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, 1998, the 49 regional retail centers
owned, in whole or in part, or operated by subsidiaries or affiliates of
the Company or by Non-REIT Subsidiaries, aggregated 44,006,000 square feet,
including 26,147,000 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 including, in some instances, equity interests in
the centers. Affiliates of the Company (or, beginning December 31, 1997,
Non-REIT Subsidiaries)

I-3


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, 1998,
Non-REIT Subsidiaries of the Company managed 9 such centers, which are
included in the figures in the preceding paragraph and aggregated 8,778,000
square feet of leasable space, 5,098,000 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 community retail
centers with 890,000 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 61 office and
industrial buildings with 3,914,000 square feet of leasable space, and
other properties in and around Las Vegas, Nevada and Los Angeles,
California. HRD and its subsidiaries own and/or manage 12 office and
industrial buildings with 1,188,000 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 691,000 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 4,909,000 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-

I-4


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 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 1,600 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 8,700 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

I-5


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 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
4,126 full-time and part-time employees at December 31, 1998.

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 50
through 53 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:

NOTES TO COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1998



(1) Summary of (a) Basis of presentation
significant The combined consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the real
accounting policies estate ventures (Ventures) owned by The Rouse Company Incentive Compensation
Statutory Trust (Trust) and The Rouse Company (Company). These 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.
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
Advances to the Company................................................... 131,832
Other..................................................................... 169,876

Borrowings from the Company............................................... $ 538,586
Other borrowings.......................................................... 280,595
Other liabilities......................................................... 104,119

==========

(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. Land development and sales operations are
predominantly related to large-scale, long-term community development projects in
Columbia and Summerlin, Nevada.


IV-10






(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 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.



IV-11




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 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
debt.
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 5.

(2) Property Operating properties and deferred costs of projects at December 31, 1998 are
summarized as follows (in thousands):

Buildings and improvements................................................. $289,902

Depreciation expense for 1998 was $9,668,000 and amortization expense was
$917,000.

(3) Accounts and notes Accounts and notes receivable at December 31, 1998 are summarized as follows (in
receivable thousands):

Accounts receivable, primarily accrued rents and
income under tenant leases............................................... $ 11,547
Notes receivable from sales of operating properties........................ 1,221
Notes receivable from sales of land........................................ 62,802

--------
187,880

--------
Total................................................................... $187,046
========


Accounts and notes receivable due after one year were $27,561,000 at December 31,
1998.
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 5. Interest on these advances was
$9,067,000 in 1998.

(4) Pension and postre- Substantially all of the employees of the Ventures are eligible to participate in
tirement plans 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
$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
$606,000 in 1998.

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

Borrowings from the Company:

Mortgages payable - other lenders.......................................... 317,176
Other debt................................................................. 15,769
--------
Total................................................................... $821,308
========

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 348,112,000
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
$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 $5,055,000 in 1998.
Other loans payable to the Company are unsecured and are due in equal annual
installments over periods to 2023. The notes bear interest at a variable rate (9%
at December 31, 1998) which is based on the weighted-average interest rate of
certain borrowings of the Company and subsidiaries. Interest on the other loans
was $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, 1998, bears interest at a weighted-average
effective rate of 7.70%. At December 31, 1998, approximately $220,952,000 of the
mortgages were payable to one lender.
Other debt includes special improvement district bonds and construction loans.
Other debt bears interest at a weighted-average effective rate of 7.26% at
December 31, 1998.
The annual maturities of debt at December 31, 1998 are summarized as follows (in
thousands):

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, 1998. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the
Ventures' other debt at December 31, 1998 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Carrying Estimated

Variable rate debt............................................... 6,885 6,885

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.

(6) Income taxes Income tax expense is reconciled to the amount computed by applying the Federal
corporate tax rate as follows for the year ended December 31, 1998 (in thousands):

Tax at statutory rate on earnings before

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

Property, primarily differences in depreciation and
amortization, the tax basis of land assets and
treatment of interest and certain other costs.................... $ 41,740
Operating loss and tax credit carryforwards......................... 11,295
Other............................................................... 625
--------
Total............................................................ $ 53,660
========

The net operating losses carried forward from December 31, 1998 for Federal income
tax purposes aggregate approximately $27,645,000. The loss carryforward 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. Based on projections of future
taxable income, management believes that it is more likely than not that the net
deferred tax asset will be realized. The amount of the net

deferred tax asset considered realizable could be reduced in the near term, however,
if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

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

(8) Series A Preferred Howard Hughes Properties, Inc. (HHPI) has issued 25,000 shares of Series A
Stock 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 1998
because HHPI incurred a tax loss. Dividends in arrears at December 31, 1998
aggregated $4,450,000. 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.

(9) Leases The Ventures, as lessee, have entered into operating leases expiring at various
dates through 2076. Rents under such leases aggregated $448,600 in 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, 1998 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

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 a fee of $1,000,000 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 1998 include license fees and service cost reimbursements to the
Company of approximately $8,305,000. The Ventures also reimburse the Company for costs of
any services it provides with respect to development of operating properties. These costs
were approximately $2,198,000 in 1998 and related primarily to development of an expansion of
a regional shopping center and new office buildings in Columbia and Summerlin.


(11) Other commitments Commitments for the construction and development of properties in the ordinary course of
and contingencies business and other commitments not set forth elsewhere amount to approximately $60,000,000 at
December 31, 1998.
Certain of the Ventures have guaranteed payment of the Company's obligations under its credit
facilities with a group of lenders, subject to various terms and conditions. At December 31,
1998, outstanding borrowings under the facilities were $602,000,000.
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 (loss), 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 (loss) and it is,
therefore, possible that the resolution of these matters could have such an effect in a
future period.

(12) Year 2000 issue The year 2000 issue relates to whether computer systems will properly recognize
date-sensitive information to allow accurate processing of transactions and data relating to
the year 2000 and beyond. In addition, the year 2000 issue relates to whether
non-Information Technology (IT) systems that depend on embedded computer technology will
recognize the year 2000. Systems that do not properly recognize such information could
generate erroneous information or fail.
As described above, the Company provides the Ventures with various services. The Venture is
dependent on the Company's IT systems being year 2000 compliant. The Company has adopted a
plan to replace virtually all of its management information systems and accounting systems.
In accordance with this plan, all mission critical IT systems have been or are being replaced
with systems that are year 2000 compliant. For non-IT systems, the Company has completed a
comprehensive review of computer hardware and software in mechanical systems and has
developed a program to repair or replace and test non-IT systems that are not year 2000
compliant by the third quarter of 1999. In addition, the Company is developing contingency
plans in the event that any critical non-IT system fails as a result of a year 2000 issue.
Costs to

specifically remediate non-IT systems (e.g., escalators, elevators, security, heating, ventilating
and cooling systems, etc.) are not expected to be material. Management of the Company and the
Ventures do not believe that the year 2000 issue will pose significant problems in IT and non-IT
systems, or that resolution of any potential problems with respect to these systems will have a
material effect on the Ventures' financial condition or results of operations.
The Company and management of the Ventures believe that the Ventures' exposure to the year
2000 issue is widespread with no known major direct exposure. The Company and management of
the Ventures believe that their most likely worst-case exposure is at the indirect level,
involving vendors, suppliers and tenants. While it is not possible at this time to determine
the likely impact of these potential problems, the Company and management of the Ventures
will continue to evaluate these areas and develop contingency plans, as appropriate.

(13) New accounting In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of
standards not yet Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
adopted Internal Use" (SOP 98-1) which is required to be adopted by the Ventures no later than
January 1, 1999. SOP 98-1 provides guidance as to whether costs incurred relating to
internal-use software should be expensed or capitalized. The guidance in SOP 98-1 is
required to be applied to costs incurred subsequent to adoption and may not be applied to
costs incurred prior to initial application. The Ventures intend to adopt SOP 98-1 effective
January 1, 1999, and do not believe that adoption will have a material effect on their results
of operations.
In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of
Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities" (SOP 98-5) which is required
to be adopted by the Ventures no later than January 1, 1999. SOP 98-5 requires that start-up
costs and organization costs, not otherwise addressed in existing authoritative literature,
be expensed as incurred. The Ventures intend to adopt SOP 98-5 effective January 1, 1999,
and the initial application will be reported as the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle. The Ventures do not believe that adoption will have a material effect
on their results of operations in future periods.
