Part I
Item 1. Business
Catellus Development Corporation ("the Company") is a diversified
real estate operating company with a large portfolio of rental properties and
developable land. The operations consist of three principal business activities:
rental properties, development, and fee services. The Company has 20.9 million
square feet of rental properties; engages in a broad range of development
activities including commercial, residential, and major mixed-use projects; and
has one of the largest portfolios of developable land in the western United
States. Management believes its developable land is capable of supporting up
to an estimated: 26.3 million square feet of industrial space; 11.6 million
square feet of R&D, biotech and office space; 8.8 million square feet of
Central Business District (CBD) office space; 2.0 million square feet of
retail/entertainment space; and 18,000 residential units. Approximately 78% of
the total commercial development potential and 60% of the residential
lots/units are entitled. Approximately 76% of the rental properties and 66% of
the total commercial development potential by square footage is located in
seven sub-markets in California: Silicon Valley, San Francisco, San Francisco
East Bay Area, Los Angeles, Orange County, Inland Empire, and San Diego.
Approximately 98% of the residential units are located in California with
approximately 67% in Northern California and 31% in Southern California.
Management believes that the Company's diversification among real estate
business activities, product types, and capabilities, and between rental
properties and developable land assets differentiates it from other public real
estate companies. Moreover, we are a traditional corporation rather than a real
estate investment trust ("REIT"); thus, we can reinvest our earnings without any
minimum dividend requirements, have greater flexibility to pursue new
opportunities without the need to raise additional equity capital as frequently
as a REIT, and may engage in a much broader range of business activities.
The Company was originally formed to conduct the non-railroad real
estate activities of the Santa Fe Pacific Corporation and was spun off to
stockholders in 1990. Our railroad heritage has given us a diverse base of
developable properties located near transportation corridors in major urban
areas. Over time, these properties have proven suitable for a variety of
product types (industrial, retail, office, and residential), with the larger
land sites most suitable for large-scale mixed-use projects.
Starting in the third quarter of 1994, the Company began assembling a
new, entrepreneurial and experienced management team focused on developing a
new strategic plan for the Company. We have built a well-rounded team of real
estate professionals with a wide-ranging set of core competencies in
development, including entitlement experience, land-use planning, design,
construction, leasing, real estate finance, and asset management. We believe
that our diverse capabilities and ability to reinvest cash flows provide us
with a competitive advantage in identifying and acquiring additional
development opportunities.
The new strategic plan implemented in 1995 was designed to: (1)
improve the Company's financial flexibility; (2) optimize the value of the
portfolio and increase existing revenue streams; and (3) capitalize on core
competencies by expanding activities outside of the existing asset base. In
implementing this strategy, we:
* Improved operating results, by increasing EBDDT (earnings before
depreciation and deferred taxes) from $14.7 million in 1994 to $18.3
million in 1995, $25.9 million in 1996, $62.8 million in 1997, and $103.4
million in 1998.
* Sold $259 million of non-strategic assets from January 1, 1995 through
December 31, 1998, using the proceeds to pay down a portion of existing
debt and fund new development.
* Increased development activity with commercial construction starts of 0.4
million square feet in 1994, 0.9 million square feet in 1995, 3.3 million
square feet in 1996, 3.9 million square feet in 1997, and 4.9 million
square feet in 1998.
* Acquired in 1996 The Akins Companies (now Catellus Residential Group,
"CRG"), an established residential developer located in Southern
California. Pre-tax earnings have increased from $2.2 million in 1996 to
$6.7 million in 1997 and $21.7 million in 1998.
* Increased new property acquisitions, either directly or through joint
ventures, from $1.2 million in 1994, to $9.3 million in 1995, $28.5
million in 1996, $90.8 million in 1997, and $117.4 million in 1998.
* Completed in 1997 a series of redemption calls for all outstanding
preferred shares, eliminating approximately $24 million in annual
preferred stock dividend payments. A total of $25.8 million of preferred
stock was redeemed and $296.7 million was converted into common equity.
* Obtained, in 1998, $526.5 million of new debt at a combined effective
interest rate of 6.66%, and paid off $263.3 million of existing mortgages
which had interest rates between 8.65% and 9.5%.

The Company's principal office is located at 201 Mission Street, San
Francisco, California 94105; its telephone number at that location is
(415) 974-4500.
Operations
The Company's operations consist of three principal business activities:
rental properties, development (including commercial, mixed-use, and
residential), and fee services. The Company's residential development activities
are conducted through Catellus Residential Group, a subsidiary. The Company has
formed two new subsidiaries: Catellus Commercial Group, LLC, which is
responsible for rental properties, commercial developments, and fee services;
and Catellus Mixed Use Group, LLC, which is responsible for mixed-use
development. In addition, the Company owns approximately 782,000 acres of desert
land in California. The Company believes that the combination of rental property
and development activities allows it to benefit from the more stable cash flow
of its rental properties and, at the same time, to pursue higher-yielding, yet
more volatile, development activities. The Company believes that it mitigates
development risk by increasing the geographic diversity of development
activities and substantial pre-leasing or pre-sales of its properties under
construction.

certain instances, we provide construction management services to third-party
purchasers of land.
In 1998, the Company commenced construction on 4.9 million square feet
of new commercial development and completed approximately 3.7 million square
feet of commercial construction. Of the completed development, 2.0 million
square feet were added to the Company's rental property portfolio and the
remainder were sold.

In 1998, the Company invested approximately $38.6 million in the
acquisition of commercial development (this excludes the acquisition of $13.5
million of rental property). These acquisitions added approximately 6.4 million
square feet of potential industrial development which included a 280-acre
entitled land site in Portland, Oregon, a 69.9-acre land site in Woodridge,
Illinois, and a 56.3-acre land site in Stockton, California.

Residential Development
In March 1996, the Company acquired The Akins Companies, a residential
real estate company consisting of a diversified group of entities involved in
home-building, community development, and project management activities. That
company is now called Catellus Residential Group ("CRG"). CRG has three
operating divisions:
* Community Development, which identifies and develops large-scale
residential communities in prime housing markets;
* Merchant Housing, which designs, builds, and markets a variety of for-sale
products, from entry-level to estate homes; and,
* Public and Private Ventures, which develops and markets affordable rental
and for-sale housing, primarily within high-density urban areas, as well as
institutional housing such as faculty and student housing for universities.
Additionally, the group is pursuing federal government contracts to provide
military housing.
During 1998, the Company invested approximately $54.9 million in the
acquisition of residential property directly or through joint ventures. These
acquisitions will support up to 4,518 homes, and included the following
acquisitions:
* a two-thirds interest in a 3,500-acre, 4,000-lot masterplanned community
(Serrano) in El Dorado Hills, California.
* a 20-acre, 99-lot site (Brittany Hills) in Martinez, California.
* a 38-acre, 119-lot site (The Citrus) in La Quinta, California.
* a 28-acre, 110-lot site (Reimal) in Gilroy, California.
Entitlements and approvals for these lots have been received, and
construction or development began in 1998.

Mixed-Use Development
The Company's land portfolio includes four major mixed-use development
sites, which include development for residential, office, retail and
entertainment purposes. The Company is currently in negotiation for the
development of two additional sites.
Mission Bay, San Francisco, CA. The Company owns 166.9 acres of property in
San Francisco adjacent to downtown, which is part of an approximately 300-acre
mixed-use development project known as Mission Bay. The balance of the project
is primarily owned by the City and the Port of San Francisco. The current
proposed development for Mission Bay includes up to:

In October 1998, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously
approved redevelopment plans and related entitlements for development of both
the approximately 65-acre Mission Bay North and the 238-acre Mission Bay South.
In November 1998, the Mayor of San Francisco and the Executive Director of the
Redevelopment Agency executed various agreements implementing the Mission Bay
San Francisco approvals. Under those agreements, approximately sixty percent of
the incremental property taxes generated by the project will be available to
finance public infrastructure improvements, provided various conditions are met.
There can be no assurances that these conditions will be satisfied.
A subdivision map for a major phase ("Major Phase") of the project,
describing the Company's initial development plan for approximately 250 dwelling
units and 80,000 square feet of commercial space in Mission Bay North was filed
in early February 1999. Other actions now being pursued in implementing the
Mission Bay Project include implementation of land transfer agreements among the
Company, the City of San Francisco, the Port of San Francisco, and the
California State Lands Commission; approval by various parties and regulatory
agencies of risk management plans, for environmental issues, and, as to certain
water-side phases of the project, approvals by the Army Corps of Engineers and
the Bay Conservation and Development Commission. Initial development of the
first Major Phase is targeted for the fourth quarter of 1999 or the first
quarter of 2000. Because this process requires participation of a number of
parties and agencies, schedules are subject to change, and there can be no
assurance that development of the first Major Phase will be possible or will
occur by the first quarter of 2000.
13
Mission Bay South will be developed around the new 2.65 million square-
foot biotech/research expansion campus for the University of California at San
Francisco ("UCSF"), which will be implemented by developers (which may include
the Company) selected by UCSF, in accordance with agreements among the
Company, The Regents of the University of California ("The Regents"), and the
City of San Francisco to locate the UCSF expansion campus on a portion of
Mission Bay South (29.3 acres of which would be donated by the Company and
13.3 acres of which would be contributed by the City of San Francisco). The
obligations of The Regents, the City, and the Company under the agreements to
transfer land for the UCSF expansion campus are subject to a number of
conditions. The failure to meet these conditions could delay or prevent the
Company's development of this project.
The Mission Bay development will provide new residential units (both
condominiums and rentals), office space, and a major retail center for the
City of San Francisco. In a report generated by the Sedway Group, a real
estate and urban economic consultant group, the average vacancy rate for
quality rental apartments in San Francisco as of the end of 1998, was 1.9%. As
for the San Francisco central business district office market, CB Richard Ellis
reports that vacancy rates are 3.2% for the total market with Class A buildings
approaching 2.5%.
Currently, the 166.9-acre portion of the project owned by the Company
contains approximately 1.1 million square feet of rental buildings and
approximately twenty land leases. The buildings, as of December 31, 1998, were
90.7% occupied. These operating assets are interim uses of the property and
are not expected to be part of any final project. Rental revenue from these
leases at Mission Bay was $6.4 million during 1998, resulting in property
operating income of $4.5 million.
Pacific Commons, Fremont, CA. Pacific Commons, which is one of the
largest planned business parks in Silicon Valley, consists of 840 acres, of
which approximately 350 are planned for development, adjacent to I-880 sixteen
miles north of San Jose. Demand for industrial, warehouse, flex-tech, R&D, and
campus office space in the Silicon Valley area has resulted in a vacancy rate
for all product types of 5.8% as of January 1, 1999, according to Colliers
International, an international real estate brokerage firm.
In late 1996, the Company received the necessary entitlements from the
City of Fremont for 8.5 million square feet of development, including 8.25
million square feet of R&D, light industrial, warehouse/distribution, and
corporate campus space, as well as 250,000 square feet of retail space. In
1997, the Company completed the 376,000-square-foot Office Depot distribution
facility. In 1997, the Company received habitat mitigation approvals necessary
to proceed with approximately 1.2 million square feet of development on a 78-
acre portion of the project, which is the site of three buildings and can
support approximately 574,000 square feet of additional development. In 1998,
the Company completed 238,000 square feet of speculative R&D and light
industrial space and started construction on 60,000 square feet of pre-leased
R&D space. Permits are in place for an additional 240,000 square feet of light
industrial space which is planned for 1999 construction.
The Company, with the City of Fremont as co-applicant, is currently
working with various federal and state agencies to address the impact of the
rest of the proposed Pacific Commons development on wetlands and special
status species. Based on the results of the predevelopment species and wetland
surveys, the Company and the City of Fremont filed, during the third quarter
of 1998, all remaining documentation to apply for a permit to undertake the
proposed development activities, including a detailed mitigation design
proposal for the project. As part of the permitting, an agreement with the
California Department of Fish and Game has been concluded. The Army Corps of
Engineers, as the lead permitting agency, has also concluded its public notice
and public hearing process and is preparing a response to the project permit
application. Discussions with federal and state agencies concerning the
mitigation measures necessary for the site are continuing, and the amount of
additional area that will ultimately be available for development will be
identified as these discussions proceed in coming months. It is possible that
the necessary government approvals may not be obtained for the development of
the remainder of the park, or that the timing of approvals, if obtained, may
not meet market needs.
Union Station, Los Angeles, CA. We currently own approximately 43 acres
surrounding and including the historic Los Angeles Union Station. Located in
downtown Los Angeles, Union Station is a transport hub, with Amtrak rail
service, commuter rail lines serving the surrounding five-county region
(Metrolink), and Los Angeles' growing subway and surface light rail systems.
In 1996, the City of Los Angeles awarded us an entitlement package
permitting seven million square feet of office development with the
flexibility to substitute other uses such as office, hotel, sports and
entertainment facilities, and housing. As part of this development, in 1996,
the Company sold a 4.2-acre portion to the Los Angeles Metropolitan Water
District and entered into a design-build contract to build its new
headquarters facility. The sale generated proceeds of $13.2 million, a gain of
$5.0 million and a fee commission to build the facility. The Company completed
construction of the 500,000-square-foot, 12-story headquarters facility in
1998, with occupancy to occur in 1999.
14
Santa Fe Depot, San Diego, CA. The Company owns approximately 15 acres
near the waterfront in downtown San Diego, California, including Santa Fe
Depot. The site is served daily by Amtrak, a commuter rail line (Coaster), and
San Diego's expanding trolley system. The site is currently entitled for a
mixture of office, hotel, retail, and housing development. Management is re-
evaluating the approved specific plan in light of current and projected market
conditions, and is cooperating with the U.S. Navy, the Port Commission of San
Diego, and San Diego City and County agencies on a master plan for the entire
North Embarcadero portion of the waterfront.
Fleet Industrial Supply Center, Alameda Annex and Alameda Naval Air
Station, East Housing, Alameda, CA. In February 1998, the Company was selected
by the City Council of Alameda as the Master Developer for the now closed
145-acre U.S. Navy Fleet Industrial Supply Center, Alameda Annex (FISC) in
Alameda, California. In July 1998, The City of Alameda added the adjacent
70-acre portion of the former Naval Air Station Alameda (NAS Alameda) known as
East Housing. The Company is negotiating the acquisition and development of the
two sites through an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement which expires December 31,
1999, but can be extended by the City of Alameda to June 30, 2000, if
circumstances warrant.
The site is located off of Highway 880 on an island in San Francisco
Bay adjacent to downtown Oakland. The combined 215-acre FISC/East Housing
development project represents the first phase of redevelopment of the 1,734
acres of dry land at the closed NAS Alameda and FISC. The entire area has been
designated as a redevelopment area. A Community Re-use Plan for conversion of
the base over the next 20 to 30 years was approved by the City Council in
January 1996.
The current Company proposal is generally consistent with the Community
Re-use Plan and includes residential and business park uses for the FISC/East
Housing site. The residential development proposes approximately 500 single
family homes. The City of Alameda Housing Authority plans to build 39
multi-family units on 2.5 acres. Fifteen percent of the 539 residential units
will be affordable housing units in accordance with California Redevelopment
Law. The business park development proposal includes up to 1.3 million square
feet of office and research and development space. Additional uses include an
elementary school, public parks, and waterfront open spaces.
The FISC site is being transferred under special legislation to the
City of Alameda by the Navy for one dollar. The NAS Alameda transfer is subject
to the successful negotiation of an Economic Development Conveyance between the
City and the Navy. Environmental remediation on the site is expected to be
handled by the Navy. Transfer of the remediated portions of the land to the City
of Alameda is expected by the first quarter of 2000 subject to certification of
a basewide environmental impact statement by the Navy and a basewide
environmental impact report by the City. During the exclusive negotiating
period, the Company and the Alameda Community Improvement Commission will
attempt to negotiate a Disposition and Development Agreement ("DDA"). To be in
effect, the DDA requires the certification of a project environmental impact
report. These documents and other approvals from the City and other agencies
will be required before development can commence. It is possible that these
negotiations may not culminate in an agreement with the City of Alameda, that
the conditions for the transfer of the property by the Navy may not be
satisfied, or that the conditions for other necessary approvals may not be
satisfied.
Development and Management Fee Services
The diverse capabilities of its management team provide the Company
with an opportunity to export skills to third parties. Management believes that
its development and management fee service business allows it to facilitate
development of its own assets through sales to end-users (design-build
contracts), as well as provide services to landowners, which can result in
future development opportunities.
The Company has generated Development and Management fees from the
following sources:
* Management and disposition services provided by a wholly-owned subsidiary,
Catellus Management Corporation, to clients for their non-core real estate
assets
* Design-build services provided to the purchasers of commercial land
* Construction management services provided to the purchasers of land and the
subsequent build-out of industrial buildings and a high-rise office
building
* Development management of our residential joint venture projects and
independent, third party projects
* Property management of industrial buildings owned by an investor for
buildings recently completed and sold by the Company

Non-Strategic Land Portfolio
Resources Portfolio
The Company owns approximately 782,000 acres of land in the Southern
California desert regions of Los Angeles, Kern, San Bernardino, Riverside, and
Imperial counties. The ownership of these desert properties is the result of
historical land grants to the railroad predecessors of the Company. Because of
its location, lack of contiguity among parcels, and other factors, this land is
not currently suitable for traditional development activities. The Company
therefore undertook to explore the potential for agricultural, mineral, water,
telecommunication, energy, and waste management uses for this property. During
1997, the Company completed its assessment of the portfolio. This evaluation
included an analysis of the portfolio's water, mineral, land, sales,
agricultural, and development potential. The Company has concluded from this
assessment that the land, although valuable, is non-strategic.
In February 1999, the Company signed an agreement with a non-profit
conservation group to sell and donate up to 437,000 acres of desert holdings and
20,000 acres of severed mineral rights for a total cash consideration of up to
$54.6 million. This sale will generate a significant non-strategic gain when
completed; however, the sale and the potential gain are contingent upon the
completion of due diligence by the appropriate parties and funding by both the
conservation group and the federal government. The timing of funding is not
presently determinable. In addition, the Company plans to exchange other
portions of its desert land for land of equal value managed by the U.S. Bureau
of Land Management in order to consolidate the Company's desert land holdings.
The Company will continue to pursue additional sale opportunities involving
public and private buyers, as well as other arrangements to maximize the value
of this land. These exchanges and arrangements are complicated and therefore may
take a significant amount of time to complete.
Other Land Holdings
In addition to the Resources portfolio, the Company has other
properties which are considered non-strategic and are for sale. The number of
properties in the portfolio has declined substantially since 1995 as a result of
sales activity. Because of a diminishing portfolio, future sales are expected to
be substantially lower than the levels of the past three years.

RVL, Inc.
In 1997, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, RVL, Inc.
("RVL"), to make investments in companies formed for the purpose of acquiring
properties requiring environmental remediated, performing the necessary
remediation, and reselling the remediation properties. RVL expects to make
these investments only after investigation designed to characterize the
environmental problems and quantify the costs of remediation, and after
obtaining insurance, if appropriate, for overruns in the remediation budget.
Between formation and December 31, 1998, the Company contributed $13.6 million
in cash and property with a book value of approximately $1.0 million to RVL.
In September 1997, Hercules, LLC, a subsidiary of a limited liability
company in which RVL owns an interest, acquired the Pacific Refinery at
Hercules, California. The Company has entered into an agreement to provide
entitlement services to Hercules, LLC, in return for an option to buy the
property once defined remediation work is completed. Among the factors that
could impact the success of this project are (1) the ability of the managing
member of the limited liability company to manage the business successfully; (2)
the accurate characterization of environmental problems; and (3) the
availability of insurance adequate to cover remediation budget overruns.
Environmental Matters
Many of the Company's properties are in urban and industrial areas
and may have been leased to or previously owned by commercial and industrial
companies that may have discharged hazardous materials. The Company incurs on-
going environmental remediation costs, and legal costs relating to clean-up,
defense of litigation, and the pursuit of responsible third parties. Costs
incurred in connection with operating properties and with properties
previously sold are expensed. As of December 31, 1998, management has provided
a reserve of $10.8 million for such costs. These costs are expected to be
incurred over an estimated ten-year period, with a substantial portion
incurred over the next few years (see Note 16 of the accompanying consolidated
financial statements for further discussions).
Costs incurred for properties to be sold are deferred and will be
charged to cost of sales when the properties are sold. Costs relating to
undeveloped properties are capitalized as part of development costs. At
December 31, 1998, the Company's estimate of its potential liability for
identified environmental costs relating to properties to be developed or sold
ranged from $11.4 million to $30.4 million. These costs generally will be
capitalized as they are incurred over the course of the estimated development
period of approximately 20 years. Environmental costs capitalized during 1998
totaled $3.6 million.
Although the Company or outside consultants have evaluated the
environmental liabilities associated with most of the properties currently
owned by the Company, any evaluation necessarily is based upon then-prevailing
law, identified site conditions, and the use of sampling methodologies. Also,
the Company does not generally have access to properties sold in the past
which could create environmental liabilities. The Company monitors its
exposure to environmental costs on a regular basis. Although an unexpected
event could have a material impact on the results of operations for any
period, the Company does not believe that such costs for identified
liabilities will have a material adverse effect on its financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
Competition
The real estate industry is generally fragmented and characterized by
significant competition. Numerous developers, owners of industrial, office and
retail properties and managers compete with the Company in seeking properties
for acquisition, development and management opportunities, tenants, and
purchasers for homes and for non-strategic assets. There are competitors in
each area in which the Company operates which have greater capital resources
than the Company. There can be no assurance that the existence of such
competition will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
operations and cash flow.
Employees, Contractors, and Consultants
At December 31, 1998, the Company had 430 employees, including 56
employees of Catellus Management Corporation and 155 employees of Catellus
Residential Group. We engage third parties to manage multi-tenant properties
and properties in locations which are not in close proximity to our regional
or field offices. In addition, we engage outside consultants such as
architects and design firms in connection with our pre-development activities.
We also employ third-party contractors on development projects for
infrastructure and building construction and retain consultants to assist us
in a variety of areas at the project level and at the corporate level.
Forward-Looking Information and Risk Factors
For information about forward-looking statements in this report and
about important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those anticipated in the forward looking statements, see "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of
this Form 10-K.

Item 2. Properties
Our real estate projects are generally described in Item 1 above, which
descriptions are incorporated in this Item by reference. Our principal executive
office is located in San Francisco, California, and we have regional or field
offices in eleven other locations in the United States. We believe that our
property and equipment are generally well maintained, in good condition, and
adequate for our present needs.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company, its subsidiaries and other related companies are named
defendants in many lawsuits arising from normal business activities, are named
parties in certain governmental proceedings (including environmental actions)
and are the subject of various environmental remediation orders of local
governmental agencies arising in the ordinary course of business. While the
outcome of these lawsuits or other proceedings against us and the cost of
compliance with any governmental order cannot be predicted with certainty,
management does not expect any of these matters to have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition or liquidity.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during
the quarter ended December 31, 1998.

(1) The Company took charges of $102.4 million in 1995 and $24.1 million in
1994 to adjust the carrying value of certain properties. The 1995 charge
included $84.8 million resulting from the Company's decision to terminate
the 1991 Development Agreement for its Mission Bay Project in San
Francisco.
(2) Net income in 1998 reflects extraordinary expense of $25.2 million, net of
income tax benefit, relating to yield maintenance payments and a write-off
of unamortized loan issuance costs associated with certain refinancings in
1998.
(3) The Company uses a supplemental performance measure called Earnings Before
Depreciation and Deferred Taxes (EBDDT), along with net income (loss), to
report its operating results. EBDDT is not a measure of operating results
or cash flows from operating activities as defined by generally accepted
accounting principles. Additionally, EBDDT is not necessarily indicative of
cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an
alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. However, the Company
believes that EBDDT provides relevant information about its operations and
is useful, along with net income (loss), for an understanding of its
operating results.
EBDDT is calculated by making various adjustments to net income (loss).
Depreciation, amortization and deferred income taxes are excluded from
EBDDT as they represent non-cash charges. In addition, gains on the sale of
non-strategic assets, adjustments to the carrying value of property,
premium on the redemption of preferred stock, restructuring costs, and
extraordinary items, including their current tax effect, represent unusual
and/or non-recurring items and are excluded from the EBDDT calculation. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations' Earnings Before Depreciation and Deferred Taxes."
(4) Represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
adjustments to the carrying value of property, capitalized interest in cost
of sales, extraordinary items, preferred stock dividends, and premium on
the redemption of preferred stock.
(5) Prior to 1996, square feet owned excluded approximately 1.1 million square
feet of existing buildings, primarily at Mission Bay.
(6) Represents total interest incurred, less non-cash interest incurred (See
Note 3 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements), principal
amortization, and preferred stock dividends.
(7) Represents the ratio of total debt plus the face value of preferred stock
to equity market capitalization (based on the number of common shares
outstanding at the end of the period indicated and the closing stock price
for each respective period) plus total debt and preferred stock.
(8) Represents expenditures for commercial and residential development for
projects to be developed and sold or held for rental. The 1998 amount
includes $40.1 million seller-financed portion of certain acquisitions,
$34.2 million invested in residential joint ventures, and $6.3 million of
first generation lease commissions. The 1997 amount includes $16.2 million
invested in residential joint ventures.
(9) Represents the ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges.
(10) Total properties, net reflects the historical value of the Properties at
acquisition plus subsequent capital expenditures. When the Company was
formed to conduct the non-railroad real estate activities of Santa Fe
Pacific Corporation ("Santa Fe") through spin-off to its stockholders in
1990 (the "Spin Off"), the historical cost of land and income-producing
properties previously owned by Santa Fe was not increased from historical
cost. Management believes that a significant portion of the Company's real
estate value resides in land and rental properties owned by Santa Fe prior
to the Spin Off. Therefore, management believes that the reported value of
Properties is not a representative measure of the liquidation value or
financing capacity of the Company.
(11) Represents the number of common shares outstanding multiplied by the
closing stock price at the end of the period indicated plus preferred stock
and total debt.

======== ======== ======== ========
/(1)/ This category represents interim income-producing uses of properties
intended for mixed-use development.
The increase in revenue from industrial buildings is primarily
attributable to the net addition of eleven new buildings (eight newly
constructed, four purchased and one sold), totaling approximately 2.7 million
square feet that were added to the portfolio in 1998, and a full year of
operations from ten buildings totaling approximately 2.1 million square feet
that were added to the portfolio in 1997. Approximately $11.4 million of the
increase was attributable to base rents and tenant pass-through for the 1998 and
1997 new properties, and an increase of $2.5 million in revenues was
attributable to base rents and higher tenant pass-through charges from
properties which were owned and operated for all of 1998 and 1997 ("Same
Space"), offset by a decrease of $2.2 million in revenues attributable to
properties sold during 1998 and 1997.
23
Rental revenue for the Company's office portfolio increased by $2.1
million primarily because of higher rental rates and average occupancy.
Operating costs for office buildings increased by $0.6 million, primarily as a
result of higher repairs and maintenance.
The $0.8 million increase in rental revenue from the land development
portfolio resulted from higher occupancies, percentage rent and expense
recoveries during the year. The increase in operating costs for land development
properties was primarily because of higher property taxes, maintenance and
operating expenses.
The $5.8 million increase in revenues from land leases was primarily
attributable to the 1998 acquisitions of land, land leases and other leases. The
majority of the increase attributable to these acquisitions is not of a long-
term nature, as the Company intends to sell a large portion of these assets to
qualified buyers (see Other Sales in Other Property Activities and Fee Services
below).
In total, property operating costs were higher because of property
taxes associated with the new buildings and higher operating and maintenance
costs attributable to Same Space.
Equity in earnings of operating joint ventures net, increased by $1.9
million primarily because of higher occupancies and room rates in hotel joint
ventures and higher occupancy and lower expenses for an office building joint
venture.

Total gain on property sales (in millions):
1998: $37.3; 1997: $13.2; 1996: $15.6
The 1998 results from commercial sales include the closing of 1.3
million square feet of building space and 176.0 acres of land capable of
supporting 3.2 million square feet of commercial development, as compared to the
closing of 0.6 million square feet of building space and 34.7 acres of land
capable of supporting 0.7 million square feet of commercial development in 1997.
In addition, residential sales include the closing of 331 homes and 855 lots in
1998 as compared to 221 homes and 176 lots in 1997.
The 1998 results from other sales represent the sales of land and
related land leases associated with the acquisitions in the land lease portfolio
during 1998, as noted above (see Cash flows from investing activities section
for further discussions on acquisitions). The Company anticipates continued
gains from these types of sales in 1999.
The Company expects there will be significant variability in income
generated from its other property activities (see Variability in Results section
below).

Development and management fee income (in millions):
1998: $7.4; 1997: $6.5; 1996: $3.4
Development and management fee income, net, increased by $0.9 million
primarily because of a one-time entitlement fee received for services provided
to a joint venture owned by the Company. Over the previous two years, a major
source of fee income was from a contract to manage and sell the non-railroad
real estate assets of a major railroad company. As anticipated, the inventory of
managed assets is now depleted and it is expected that future management fees
will decrease.
Equity in earnings of development joint ventures, net, increased by
$4.5 million primarily because of the commencement of lot sales at a major
residential joint venture project in San Clemente, California.
The $0.9 million increase in land holding costs, net, is primarily
because land holding costs in 1997 were offset by interim ground lease income,
some of which were terminated in late 1997.
Other Items on the Statement of Operations
- ------------------------------------------
Interest expense decreased approximately $2.6 million in 1998;
however, total interest incurred increased $11.9 million. Increased interest
expense attributable to additions to the portfolio was offset by the increase in
capitalized interest related to higher development activity and lower interest
rates resulting from a major refinancing (see Cash balances, available
borrowings and capital resources section for further discussion). During 1998,
the average square feet of commercial development under construction was 4.4
million as compared to 3.0 million in 1997; additionally, the Company started
construction on 334 residential units in 1998 as compared to 106 units in 1997
from its owned and consolidated joint venture projects.

=========== =========== ===========
Sales in 1998 include two major transactions which closed in the
fourth quarter totaling $61.2 million.
In 1995, the Company began an accelerated program of selling non-
strategic assets, with the proceeds intended to pay down a portion of existing
debt and fund new development. From 1995 through 1998, the Company sold $259
million of non-strategic assets. During 1998, 1997, and 1996, the Company
recorded a write-down of $9.0 million, $8.6 million, and $9.9 million,
respectively, to cost of sales related to non-strategic assets. The most
significant remaining non-strategic asset of the Company is its approximately
782,000-acre desert and agricultural portfolio. In February of 1999, the Company
signed an agreement with a non-profit conservation group to sell and donate up
to 437,000 acres of desert holdings and 20,000 acres of severed mineral rights
to the conservation group or the federal government for a total cash
consideration of up to $54.6 million. This sale will generate a significant gain
when completed; however, the sale and its potential gain are contingent upon the
completion of due diligence by the appropriate parties and funding by both the
conservation group and the federal government. The timing of funding is not
presently determinable. In addition, the Company plans to exchange up to 65,000
acres of its land for land of equal value managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land
Management in order to consolidate the Company's desert land holdings.
Additional non-strategic sales are expected to be substantially lower than the
levels of the past three years.
Litigation and environmental costs, net, changed by $2.6 million as
the Company received environmental recoveries of $2.6 million in 1997. There
were no such recoveries in 1998.
Other, net, changed by $2.5 million in 1998 primarily because of the
$1.0 million in costs associated with the filing of a registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with a Registration
Rights Agreement between the Company and the California Public Employees
Retirement System in 1997, and $0.9 million due to higher interest income in
1998.
Extraordinary Expense
- ---------------------
During 1998, the Company closed a major refinancing of its existing
debt. (See Cash balances, available borrowings and capital resources section for
further discussion.) The refinancing resulted in recognition of a $25.2 million
extraordinary charge, net of tax benefit of $16.8 million, related to yield
maintenance payments and a write-off of unamortized loan issuance costs.

============ ============ =========== =========== =========== ==========
/(1)/ This category represents interim income-producing uses of properties
intended for mixed-use development.
The increase in revenue from industrial buildings is primarily
attributable to ten newly constructed buildings totaling approximately 2.1
million square feet that were added to the portfolio in 1997 and a full year of
operations from eight buildings totaling approximately 1.3 million square feet
that were completed and added to the portfolio in 1996. Approximately $8.2
million of the increase was attributable to base rents for the new buildings
completed in 1997 and 1996, approximately $1.6 million was attributable to
higher tenant pass-through charges and other income associated with this new
construction and approximately $1.5 million was a result of increases in rental
rates and tenant pass-through charges under existing leases. Operating costs for
the industrial portfolio increased by $0.5 million primarily because of property
taxes and other operating expenses related to the new construction.
Rental revenue for the Company's office portfolio increased by $1.3
million primarily because of higher rental rates and occupancy. Operating costs
for office buildings increased by $0.1 million, primarily as a result of higher
utility costs and property taxes.
The $0.4 million decrease in property operating costs for the retail
buildings was primarily due to a reduction in property taxes.
The $0.3 million increase in rental revenue from the land development
portfolio resulted from higher occupancies during the year and expense
recoveries. The decrease in operating costs for land development properties was
primarily because of lower property taxes as a result of refunds and sales of
properties.
The increase in revenue from land leases was primarily because of
increased rent from new tenant leases and higher percentage rents. The decreased
expenses from land leases were primarily attributable to a reduction in property
taxes as a result of the sale of a land lease in mid-1996.
In total, property operating costs were lower because of lower
property operating overhead costs and lower insurance premiums, partially offset
by higher property taxes.
Equity in earnings of operating joint ventures, net, increased by $1.4
million primarily because of higher occupancies and room rates in a hotel
joint venture and higher occupancy and lower interest expense for an office
building joint venture.

Angeles Union Station. The 1997 commercial sales include a $2.2 million gain
from the sale of a 279,000-square-foot industrial building in La Mirada,
California. Residential sales in 1997 include a full year of activity from the
Company's residential group which was acquired in March 1996.
Development and management fee income, net, increased by $3.0 million
primarily because of an increase in management fees from management contracts
signed in 1996 and higher development fees from a construction project at Los
Angeles Union Station that began in June 1996.
Other Items on the Statement of Operations
- ------------------------------------------
Total interest incurred was $1.3 million higher in 1997 compared to
1996 primarily because of an increase in borrowing. However, during 1997, the
Company capitalized $6.7 million of interest compared to $2.9 million in 1996
because of increased development activities. As a result, interest expense
decreased $2.5 million.
General and administrative expense increased by $2.9 million in 1997
primarily because of the increase in the Company's overall activities.
In 1995, the Company began an accelerated program of selling non-
strategic assets, with the proceeds intended to pay down a portion of existing
debt and fund new development. In connection with this program, the Company
completed sales totaling $31.1 million resulting in gains of $5.0 million in
1997, compared to completed sales of $85.7 million and gains of $24.4 million in
1996.
In prior years the Company accrued estimates of its environmental
liability (see Note 11 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements).
During 1997 and 1996, the Company received recoveries in excess of settlements
paid. These settlements and recoveries resulted in increases to net income of
$2.6 million in 1997 and $1.1 million in 1996.
Other, net, decreased by $1.1 million in 1997 primarily because of the
$1.0 million in costs associated with the filing of a registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with a Registration
Rights Agreement between the Company and the California Public Employees
Retirement System.
28
Preferred Stock Dividends
- -------------------------
Preferred stock dividends declined by $1.4 million in 1998 compared to
1997 and $20.8 million in 1997 compared to 1996 as a result of preferred stock
calls. With the completion of the preferred stock calls in June 1997, the
Company has no remaining outstanding preferred stock. As a result of these
calls, during 1996, a total of 453,326 shares of $3.75 Series A Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A preferred stock") were converted into
2,501,783 common shares and 508,113 shares of Series A preferred stock were
redeemed at a cost of approximately $26.7 million. In 1997, a total of 2,480,671
shares of Series A preferred stock and all of the $3.625 Series B Cumulative
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock were converted into 29,001,469 shares
of common stock, with 7,889 shares of Series A preferred stock redeemed at a
cost of approximately $440,000.
Variability in Results
- ----------------------
Although the Company has a large portfolio of income-producing
properties that provides relatively constant operating results, the Company's
earnings from period to period will be affected by the nature and timing of
acquisitions and sales of property and sales of non-strategic assets. Many of
the Company's projects require a lengthy process to complete the development
cycle before they are sold. Additionally, sales of non-strategic assets are
difficult to predict and are generally subject to lengthy negotiations and
contingencies that need to be resolved prior to closing. These factors tend to
"bunch" income in particular periods rather than producing a more even
pattern throughout the year. In addition, gross margins may vary significantly
as the mix of property varies. The cost basis of the properties sold varies
because (i) a number of properties have been owned for many decades; (ii) some
properties were acquired within the last ten to fifteen years; (iii) properties
are owned in various geographical locations; and, (iv) development projects have
varying infrastructure costs and build-out periods.
Earnings Before Depreciation and Deferred Taxes ("EBDDT")
The Company uses a supplemental performance measure, EBDDT, along with
net income, to report its operating results. EBDDT is not a measure of operating
results or cash flows from operating activities as defined by generally accepted
accounting principles. Additionally, EBDDT is not necessarily indicative of cash
available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to
cash flows as a measure of liquidity. However, the Company believes that EBDDT
provides relevant information about its operations and is useful, along with net
income, for an understanding of its operating results.
EBDDT is calculated by making various adjustments to net income.
Depreciation, amortization and deferred income taxes are excluded from EBDDT as
they represent non-cash charges. In addition, gains on the sale of non-strategic
assets and extraordinary items, including their current tax effect, represent
unusual and/or non-recurring items and are excluded from the EBDDT calculation.
Net income is reconciled to EBDDT as follows:

The $40.6 million increase in EBDDT in 1998 compared to 1997 was
primarily because of improved results from income-producing assets and higher
gains on property sales, offset by higher current taxes.
The $36.9 million increase in EBDDT in 1997 compared to 1996 was
primarily because of a reduction in preferred stock dividends and improved
results from income-producing assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flows from operating activities
Cash provided by operating activities reflected in the statement of
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 was $120.7 million and
$84.2 million, respectively. The change is primarily attributable to sales of
development and other properties of $ 205.3 million and $122.2 million for the
years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Sales of non-strategic
assets were $80.0 million and $31.1 million for the years ended December 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively. These increases are offset by an increase in
capital expenditures which are included in the schedule of capital expenditures
in the following discussion of Cash flows from investing activities. Cash
generated from income-producing properties increased principally because of the
addition of new buildings.
The $26.9 million decrease in cash from operating activities from 1996
to 1997 is primarily because of $52.4 million increase in 1997 expenditures for
development of property for sale and residential acquisitions, a decrease in
cash generated from sales of non-strategic assets, and an increase in notes and
accounts receivable related to development and sales activity offset by improved
earnings from income-producing properties.
Cash flows from investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities reflected in the statement of
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $275.3
million, $156.5 million and $64.4 million, respectively. The increase between
1998 and 1997 is primarily because of a $61.7 million increase in capital
expenditures and $22.0 million increase in property acquisitions. Additionally,
the increase is also due to a $49.3 million increase in short-term investments
and restricted cash; included in the amount is $8.8 million of proceeds from
property sales that is being held in separate accounts at a trust company in
order to preserve the Company's options of reinvesting the proceeds on a tax-
deferred basis. The increase between 1997 and 1996 is primarily because of a
$47.9 million increase in capital expenditures, a $17.9 million increase in
commercial property acquisitions and an $18.0 million increase in joint venture
contributions.

Capital expenditures for residential and industrial development
properties-- relates to the development of residential and industrial for-sale
development properties. The increase from 1997 to 1998 is primarily because of
the increase in both residential and industrial for-sale development activity.
For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company started construction
on 334 residential units and completed 247 units compared to 106 starts and 125

Property Acquisitions--The Company invested approximately $117.4
million in 1998 and $90.8 million in 1997 in the acquisition of new property
directly or through joint ventures.
. Residential Acquisitions-- In 1998, the Company invested approximately
$54.9 million in the acquisition of residential development property
directly or through joint ventures. These acquisitions will support up
to 4,518 homes and included the following significant acquisitions:
(1) a two-thirds interest in a 3,500-acre, 4,000-lot masterplanned
community (Serrano) in El Dorado Hills, California, (2) a 20-acre, 99-
lot site (Brittany Hills) in Martinez, California, and (3) a 38-acre,
119-lot site (The Citrus) in La Quinta, California. Entitlements and
approvals for these lots have been received, and construction or
development of these sites has commenced in 1998.
. Commercial Acquisitions-- In 1998, the Company invested approximately
$52.1 million in the acquisition of commercial development and income-
producing property. These acquisitions added approximately 6.4 million
square feet of potential industrial development which included a 280-
acre entitled land site in Portland, Oregon, a 69.9-acre land site in
Woodridge, Illinois, a 56.3-acre land site in Stockton, California,
and 0.7 million square feet of occupied income-producing property.
Also included in the acquisitions are land leases which will be held
in the Company's portfolio.
. Other property acquisitions-- In 1998, the Company invested a total of
$50.5 million ($40.1 million of which was seller-financed) acquiring
land and other leases. The Company intends to sell these assets.
Predevelopment--relates to amounts incurred in obtaining entitlements
for the Company's major mixed-use projects, primarily the Mission Bay project in
San Francisco, California, and the Pacific Commons project in Fremont,
California.
Infrastructure and other--primarily represents infrastructure costs
incurred in connection with the Company's major mixed-use and development
projects. The increase in 1998 compared to 1997 primarily relates to the
Woodridge, Illinois; Denver, Colorado; and Portland, Oregon projects.
Capitalized interest and property taxes--represents interest and
property taxes capitalized to the Company's development projects. The increase
in 1998 compared to 1997, as well as the increase in 1997 from 1996, is because
of the significant increase in construction activity, as noted above.
Cash flows from financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities reflected in the statement
of cash flows increased by $124.2 million in 1998 compared to 1997. This
increase is primarily because of a $181.5 million increase in net borrowings
used to finance development projects offset by a $36.1 million redemption
premium on early retirement of debt and $26.1 million in financing costs.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $116.9 million
in 1997 compared to 1996. The increase is primarily because of a $76.6 million
increase in net borrowings used to finance development projects, a $17.1 million
decrease in preferred stock dividends paid and a $26.3 million decrease in
preferred stock redemptions.
Capital commitments
As of December 31, 1998, the Company had outstanding standby letters
of credit and surety bonds in the amount of $104.5 million in favor of local
municipalities or financial institutions to guarantee performance on real
property improvements or financial obligations.
As of December 31, 1998, the Company had approximately $56.6 million
in total commitments for capital expenditures. These commitments are primarily
to fund the construction of industrial development projects, predevelopment
costs and re-leasing costs.
32
Cash balances, available borrowings and capital resources
As of December 31, 1998, the Company had $53.0 million in cash and
cash equivalents. In addition, the Company had available $22.4 million under its
secured revolving credit facility and $4.1 million under its residential
construction facilities.
The Company's short- and long-term liquidity and capital resources
requirements will essentially be provided from three sources: (1) ongoing
operating income from rental properties, (2) proceeds from development, other
and non-strategic asset sales, and (3) additional debt. As noted above, a
secured revolving line of credit and residential construction loan facilities
are available to the Company for meeting liquidity requirements. The ability of
the Company to meet its mid- and long-term capital requirements is dependent
upon the ability to obtain additional financing for new construction,
acquisitions and currently unencumbered properties. There is no assurance that
this financing can be obtained at this time.
In October 1998, the Company modified and extended the maturity of its
$265 million secured revolving credit line for two years to November 1, 2000.
Borrowing capacity at December 31, 1998, was $215.9 million. Additional capacity
up to $265 million is available, provided that additional lender participation
is obtained.
During 1998, the Company also substantially completed a major debt
refinancing, which accomplished the following:
. Obtained a new mortgage loan in the amount of $373.0 million with
an effective rate of 6.6%.
. Obtained a new mortgage loan totaling $153.5 million with an
effective interest rate of 6.82%.
. Obtained, for its subsidiary, an unsecured line of credit of
$60.0 million at a variable interest rate of LIBOR + 1.5%.
. Paid off existing mortgages totaling $263.3 million which had
interest rates between 8.65% to 9.5%.
Debt covenants-Certain loan agreements contain restrictive financial
covenants, the most restrictive of which require the Company's debt coverage
ratio to be at least 1.30:1, require stockholders' equity to be no less than
$409 million, and require that the Company maintain certain other specified
financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants at
December 31, 1998.
Income taxes. At December 31, 1998, the Company's deferred tax
liability consisted of deferred tax assets totaling $112.4 million and deferred
tax liabilities of $250.9 million. Deferred tax assets included $6.0 million
relating to net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") of $17.1 million. The
Company has NOLs of $10.1 million, $6.5 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million
which expire in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011 (none of the Company's NOLs expires in
2010). The Company's other deferred tax assets of $106.4 million relate
primarily to differences between book and tax basis of properties. These
deferred tax assets are not subject to expiration and will likely be realized at
the time of taxable dispositions of the properties. Deferred tax liabilities in
excess of deferred tax assets are often associated with the same property, with
the result that the deferred tax asset will likely be realized in a taxable
disposition, without regard to other taxable income. The Company believes it is
more likely than not that it will realize the benefit of its deferred tax
assets, and that no valuation allowance is required. In making this
determination, the Company considered: the nature of its deferred tax assets
(and liabilities); the amounts and expiration dates of its NOLs; the historical
levels of taxable income; the significant unrealized appreciation of its
properties, including properties likely to be sold during the NOL carryforward
periods; and its ability in many cases to control the timing of property sales
in order to assure that deferred tax assets will be offset by deferred tax
liabilities or realized appreciation.
A significant portion of the Company's NOLs was used to reduce tax
payments for 1998, and the Company believes it will use the balance of its NOLs
to reduce tax payments for 1999. The ultimate amount of federal tax payments, if
any, would depend on the Company's taxable income.
33
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Many of the Company's properties are in urban and industrial areas and
may have been leased to or previously owned by commercial and industrial
companies that may have discharged hazardous materials. The Company incurs on-
going environmental remediation costs, and legal costs relating to clean-up,
defense of litigation and the pursuit of responsible third parties. Costs
incurred in connection with operating properties and with properties previously
sold are expensed. As of December 31, 1998, management has provided a reserve of
$10.8 million for such costs. These costs are expected to be incurred over an
estimated ten-year period, with a substantial portion incurred over the next few
years (see Note 16 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for
further discussions).
Costs incurred for properties to be sold are deferred and will be
charged to cost of sales when the properties are sold. Costs relating to
undeveloped properties are capitalized as part of development costs. At December
31, 1998, the Company's estimate of its potential liability for identified
environmental costs relating to properties to be developed or sold ranged from
$11.4 million to $30.4 million. These costs generally will be capitalized as
they are incurred over the course of the estimated development period of
approximately 20 years. Environmental costs capitalized during 1998 totaled $3.6
million.
While the Company or outside consultants have evaluated the environmental
liabilities associated with most of the properties currently owned by the
Company, any evaluation necessarily is based upon then-prevailing law,
identified site conditions and the use of sampling methodologies. Also, the
Company does not generally have access to properties sold in the past which
could create environmental liabilities. The Company monitors its exposure to
environmental costs on a regular basis. Although an unexpected event could have
a material impact on the results of operations for any period, the Company does
not believe that such costs for identified liabilities will have a material
adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
YEAR 2000 READINESS
Overview. To address the potential effects of the Year 2000 problem
(the inability of some hardware and software to distinguish the year 2000 from
the year 1900), the Company has adopted a program (the "Program") that examines
three areas:
. The Company's information systems, including hardware and
software ("I.S.");
. The Company's non-I.S. systems that use date-sensitive technology
("Embedded Technology"); and
. Third parties with whom the Company does business ("Third
Parties").
For each area, the Program has three phases:
. Phase 1, Inventory: Develop a list of potentially affected
functions;
. Phase II, Assessment and planning: Assess the nature and severity
of the problem and determine necessary corrective action; and
. Phase III, Remediation and testing: Implement any necessary
corrective action and test the results.
Information Systems. A failure of systems such as the Company's
telephones or computer network could materially impair the Company's ability to
perform essential business functions, such as the collection of revenue, payment
of debts, and communications generally.
The Company has substantially completed Phases I and II of the Program
for I.S., and Phase III is currently underway. Since January 1997, the Company
has ensured that all regularly scheduled I.S. replacements and upgrades are Year
2000 compliant. From January 1, 1997, through December 31, 1998, the Company
spent approximately $984,000 on I.S. improvements, upgrades and replacements.
For the period from January 1, 1997, to December 31, 1999, the Company may spend
up to approximately $3.0 million on I.S. improvements, upgrades and
replacements. Substantially all of these expenditures are primarily for business
purposes other than addressing Year 2000 issues and a significant portions of
these expenditures will be financed through capital leases. In 1999, the Company
expects to spend approximately $175,000 on testing and upgrades specifically
related to the Year 2000 issue. No planned I.S. projects have been deferred
because of the Program.
34
The Company believes that, with these improvements, upgrades and
replacements, the Year 2000 problem will not significantly affect its I.S. If
planned improvements, upgrades and replacements are not timely completed (for
example, because of a scarcity of Year 2000 compliant products), the Year 2000
problem could have a material impact on the Company. Nonetheless, the Company
believes that its plans for resolving the Year 2000 problem with respect to I.S.
are adequate and that it will not need to develop contingency plans.
Embedded Technology. Electronic monitoring and control systems may
have date-sensitive coding embedded within their circuitry that is susceptible
to failure if it is not Year 2000 compliant. Year 2000 noncompliance could
affect the functioning of elevators and escalators, heating, ventilation and air
conditioning systems, security systems, fire-life safety systems, and other
automated building systems, which could affect use and access to buildings and
emergency response capabilities.
In December 1998, the Company completed an inventory of Embedded
Technology in those systems for which the Company is responsible in its
approximately 250 buildings. Phase II is currently underway and Phase III will
be performed as affected systems are identified. The Company has solicited bids
from engineering and consulting firms for assistance in performing Phases II and
III, and the Company is currently discussing terms of engagement with a firm
that can provide these services on a nationwide basis. While the Company is
currently unable to estimate the costs it will incur in Phases II and III, the
Company expects that these costs will not exceed $1,000,000. The Company expects
to complete this work in the second quarter of 1999. If necessary, contingency
planning is scheduled for the second and third quarters of 1999. Meanwhile, the
Company has incorporated Year 2000 compliance in its due diligence for any
acquisition of property.
Third Parties. The Company depends on a wide variety of Third Parties.
To the extent that Third Parties are unable to perform because of their own Year
2000 problems, the Company may be adversely affected. Because of the speculative
nature of these risks, it is not possible to estimate their financial impact on
the Company. Third Parties on whom the Company depends include:
. Customers, such as tenants and buyers of properties;
. Suppliers of goods, services or capital; and
. Regulatory bodies, such as government agencies from whom the
Company must obtain permits in order to proceed with its
projects.
In the third quarter of 1998, the Company began identifying and
prioritizing Third Parties and communicating with them about their approach to
the Year 2000 problem. This phase is expected to be substantially complete by
second quarter of 1999. The Company has initiated more detailed evaluations of
the most critical Third Parties. If necessary, these evaluations will be
followed, where possible, by the development of contingency plans, scheduled for
second quarter of 1999. In most cases, the Company must rely primarily on
statements from Third Parties as to their Year 2000 readiness and will not
attempt any independent verification. Because the systems of Third Parties are
outside the Company's control, the remediation and testing phase of the Program
is not applicable to Third Parties.
This area of the Program is being undertaken by the Company's
employees and is not expected to involve significant additional expenditures or
to delay any other work of the Company significantly.
Summary. The Program schedule is subject to change depending on future
developments, including delays by Third Parties. A failure to correct
significant Year 2000 problems could impair the Company's ability to conduct its
business and could affect its financial performance. Because of the general
uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 problem and the uncertainty about the Year
2000 readiness of Third Parties, the Company cannot determine whether there will
be a material impact on its results of operations, liquidity, or financial
condition. The Company believes that the Program will significantly reduce the
risk of interruption of the Company's business operations.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION AND RISK FACTORS
Except for historical matters, the matters discussed in this annual
report are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We
have tried, wherever practical, to identify these forward-looking statements by
using words like "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "project," "expect," and
similar expressions. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements about plans; opportunities; markets and economic conditions;
development, construction and sales activities; availability of financing; and
property values.
35
We caution that these forward-looking statements reflect our current
beliefs and are based on information currently available to us. Accordingly,
these statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our
actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those
expressed in or implied by these statements. In particular, among the factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially are:
. Changes in the real estate market or in general economic
conditions in the areas in which we own property
. Competition in the real estate industry
. Changes in tax laws and other circumstances that affect our
ability to control the timing and recognition of deferred tax
liability
. Availability of financing to meet our capital needs, the
variability of interest rates, and our ability to use our
collateral to secure loans
. Delay in receipt of or denial of government approvals and
entitlements for development projects, and other political and
discretionary government decisions affecting the use of or access
to land
. Exposure of our assets to damage from natural occurrences such as
earthquakes, and weather conditions that affect the progress of
construction
. Liability for environmental remediation at properties owned or
formerly owned by us or our predecessors
. Changes in the cost of land and building materials
. Our ability to recruit and retain or replace key personnel
. Limitations on or challenges to title to our properties
. Risks related to the performance, interests and financial
strength of our joint venture projects
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's financial position is exposed to fluctuation in the variable
interest rates for its debt. At December 31, 1998, the Company did not have any
outstanding interest-protection contracts. The majority of the Company's
financial instruments are not considered market risk sensitive instruments, as
they are not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price
risk; the only instruments considered market risk sensitive are its loans with
variable interest rates.
At December 31, 1998, the Company had mortgage and other debts totaling
$252,948,000 that were subject to variable interest rates; they are summarized
as follows:
. Secured revolving credit line, interest variable (7.44% at
December 31, 1998), due November 1, 2000: $190,135,000.
. Unsecured revolving credit line, interest variable (6.75% at
December 31, 1998), due October 1, 2000: $24,700,000.
. Residential construction loans, interest variable (7.75% to 8.75%
at December 31, 1998), due at various dates through February 26,
2002: $3,975,000.
. Term loan, secured interest variable (7.0% at December 31, 1998),
due August 1, 2002: $12,778,000.
. Secured promissory notes, interest variable (9.0% at 9.75% at
December 31, 1998), due at various dates through October 22,
2003: $21,360,000.
If interest rates increased 100 basis points, the annual effect of such increase
to the Company's financial position and cash flows would be approximately $2.5
million, based on the outstanding balance at December 31, 1998. The fluctuation
of interest rates is not determinable; accordingly, actual results from interest
rate fluctuation could differ from the estimate presented above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders of
Catellus Development Corporation
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders' equity and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Catellus
Development Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1998 and 1997 and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

CATELLUS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Description of Business
Catellus Development Corporation, together with its consolidated
subsidiaries, (the Company) is a diversified real estate operating company, with
a large portfolio of income-producing properties and developable land, that
manages and develops real estate for its own account and others. The Company's
development portfolio of industrial, residential, retail, office, and joint
venture projects are primarily located in major markets in California and seven
other states. The Company's income-producing properties consist primarily of
industrial facilities, along with a number of office and retail buildings
located in California, Arizona, Illinois, Texas, Colorado and Oregon. The
Company also has substantial undeveloped land holdings primarily in these same
states.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of consolidation--The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries
and investees over 50% owned which are controlled by the Company. All other
investees are accounted for using the equity method.
Revenue recognition--Rental revenue, in general, is recognized when due
from tenants; however, revenue from leases with rent concessions or fixed
escalations is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the
lease. Direct costs of negotiating and consummating a lease are deferred and
amortized over the initial term of the related lease.
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of properties using the
accrual method. Sales not qualifying for full recognition at the time of sale
are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method. In general,
specific identification and relative sales value methods are used to determine
the cost of sales. Estimated future costs to be incurred by the Company after
completion of each sale are included in cost of sales.
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and investments --The Company
considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less
at time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Of the total restricted cash and
investments of $49.3 million, $8.8 million at December 31, 1998, represents
proceeds from development property sales being held in separate cash accounts at
a trust company in order to preserve the Company's options of reinvesting the
proceeds on a tax-deferred basis. In addition, restricted investments of $40.5
million at December 31, 1998 represent certificates of deposits used to guaranty
completion of building construction and lease performance for certain properties
securing mortgage debt.
Interest rate protection contracts ("Treasury-lock contracts") --The
Company may enter into an interest rate protection agreement to lock its
interest rate when negotiating fixed rate financing agreements. Amounts paid or
received are capitalized and amortized as a component of interest expense using
the effective interest method over the term of the associated mortgage debt
agreement.
Financial instruments--The historical cost basis of the Company's notes
receivable is representative of fair value based on a comparison to year-end
interest rates for receivables of comparable risks and maturities. Mortgage and
other debt have carrying values which approximate estimated fair value based on
a comparison to year-end interest rates for debt with similar terms and
remaining maturities, with the exception of one of the Company's first mortgage
loans in 1997. As of December 31, 1997, this loan had an estimated aggregate
fair market value of $270 million and remaining principal of $251.6 million.
F-7
Property and deferred costs--Real estate is stated at cost or the lower of
cost or estimated fair value. For operating properties and properties held for
long-term investment, a write-down to estimated fair value is recognized when a
property's estimated undiscounted future cash flow, before interest charges, is
less than its book value. For properties held for sale, a write-down to
estimated fair value is recorded when the Company determines that the carrying
cost exceeds the estimated selling price, less cost to sell. This evaluation is
made by management on a property by property basis. The evaluation of fair value
and future cash flows from individual properties requires significant judgment;
it is reasonably possible that a change in estimate could occur.
The Company capitalizes construction and development costs. Costs
associated with financing or leasing projects are also capitalized and amortized
over the period benefited by those expenditures.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Buildings and
improvements are depreciated using lives of between 20 and 40 years. Tenant
improvements are depreciated over the primary terms of the leases (generally 3-
15 years), while furniture and equipment are depreciated using lives ranging
between 3 and 10 years.
Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred, while
significant improvements, replacements and major renovations are capitalized.
Allocated costs--Direct and indirect costs, including related general and
administrative expense, incurred by the Company in connection with property
sales and development and management fees are reflected as an offset to the
associated revenues in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
Included in cost of sales were direct and indirect costs of $12.0 million, $8.0
million and $7.8 million for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Development and management fee income, net, included $8.6 million,
$7.5 million and $8.5 million of direct and indirect costs for the same periods.
Notes receivable--Notes receivable are carried at the principal balance,
less estimated uncollectible amounts of $1.9 million as of December 31, 1998.
Interest is recognized as earned; however, the Company discontinues accruing
interest when collection is considered doubtful. All notes are secured by real
property.
Allowance for uncollectible accounts--Accounts receivable are net of an
allowance for uncollectible accounts totaling $1.3 million and $2.1 million at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Environmental costs--The Company incurs on-going environmental remediation
costs, including clean-up costs, consulting fees for environmental studies and
investigations, monitoring costs, and legal costs relating to clean-up,
litigation defense, and the pursuit of responsible third parties. Costs incurred
in connection with operating properties and properties previously sold are
expensed. Costs relating to undeveloped land are capitalized as part of
development costs. Costs incurred for properties to be sold are deferred and
charged to cost of sales when the properties are sold.
The Company maintains a reserve for known, probable costs of environmental
remediation to be incurred in connection with operating properties and
properties previously sold. When there is a legal requirement for environmental
remediation of developable land, the Company will accrue for the estimated cost
of remediation and capitalize that amount. Where there is no legal requirement
for remediation, costs will be capitalized, as incurred, as part of the project
costs.
Income taxes--Income taxes are recorded based on the future tax effects of
the difference between the tax and financial reporting bases of the Company's
assets and liabilities. In estimating future tax consequences, expected future
events are considered except for potential income tax law or rate changes.
Income per share--Income per share of common stock applicable to common
stockholders is computed by dividing net income, before extraordinary expense,
after reduction for preferred stock dividends and premium on redemption of
preferred stock, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and
equivalents outstanding during the period (see table below for effect of
dilutive securities).

======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ========
Preferred stock convertible into 29,040,000 shares of common stock was
outstanding at December 31, 1996, but was not included in the computation of
diluted income per share because the assumed conversion would have been anti-
dilutive for the period.
Use of estimates--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Reclassifications--Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform with the current year financial statement presentation.
New Accounting Standards--In the fourth quarter 1997, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which
changed the method of calculation and presentation of earnings per share. This
change did not have any impact on previously reported income per share amounts
for the years ended December 31, 1996 or 1997.
During June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, ''Segment Reporting'', which
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 131
establishes standards for determining an entity's operating segments and the
type and level of financial information to be disclosed. The Company adopted
this statement for the annual financial statements for the year ending December
31, 1998.
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS
No. 133 is effective for years beginning after June 15, 1999. The statement
requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and
establishes new accounting treatment for the different types of transactions
qualifying for hedge accounting. The Company plans to adopt this statement in
the first quarter of 2000. Management does not believe this new standard will
significantly impact the financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows of the Company.

$873,207 $568,699
============== ===============
(a) On October 26, 1998, the Company closed a $373 million loan, which bears
interest at 6.01% and is amortized over 30 years with a maturity of 10
years. The Company repaid an existing first mortgage loan which had an
average interest rate of 8.71% and recognized a $25.2 million extraordinary
charge, net of tax benefit of $16.8 million, related to the early retirement
of this loan. In connection with this new loan, the Company executed
several Treasury-lock contracts for purposes of fixing the interest rate on
this new loan. The net payment upon liquidation of the Treasury-lock
contracts was approximately $16.9 million which, considered with other
financing costs, resulted in an effective interest rate of 6.6% on the new
loan.
This loan is collateralized by certain of the Company's operating properties
and by an assignment of rents generated by the underlying properties. This
loan has a yield maintenance premium if paid prior to maturity.
(b) The Company's $265 million secured revolving credit line was extended and
modified on October 30, 1998. The secured revolving credit line's maturity
was extended for two years to November 1, 2000, at an initial amount of $213
million, with the capacity to go up to $265 million provided that additional
lender participation is obtained. At December 31, 1998, the line's capacity
was $215.9 million with $22.4 million available for future borrowings. The
credit line is collateralized by certain of the Company's operating
properties, an assignment of rents generated by the underlying properties
and certain land holdings.
(c) The first mortgage loans consist of $148.5 million bearing interest at 6.65%
(6.82% effective rate when considering financing costs), maturing in
September 2006; $22.2 million bearing interest at 9.75%, maturing October
2002; and $13.9 million bearing interest at 7.625% to 9.5%, maturing at
various dates from October 2002 through March 2009 from various lenders.
During 1998, the Company closed $153.5 million of new loans, of which $148.9
million was funded through December 31, 1998. The loans amortize over 30
years with a maturity of 8 years. The remaining $4.6 million of the loan is
expected to close in 1999 when collateral provisions are met.
F-10
These first mortgage loans are collateralized by certain of the Company's
operating properties and by an assignment of rents generated by the
underlying properties. A majority of these loans have penalties if paid
prior to maturity.
(d) In connection with acquisitions of land, land leases and other leases,
subsidiaries of the Company issued a total of $40.1 million of secured
promissory notes. The Company intends to sell these assets. Accordingly,
these collaterized promissory notes are paid-down on a pro-rata basis upon
the sales of these assets.
(e) On September 25, 1998, the Company's residential subsidiary closed an
unsecured credit line with a capacity up to $60 million. This credit line
bears interest at LIBOR + 1.5% which was 6.75% at December 31, 1998, and
matures on October 1, 2000. At December 31, 1998, the line's capacity was
$28.8 million with $4.1 million available for future borrowings.
(f) The assessment district bonds are issued through local municipalities to
fund the construction of public infrastructure and improvements which
benefit the Company's properties. These bonds are secured by certain of the
Company's properties.
(g) The Company's residential construction loans are used to finance development
projects and are secured by the related land and improvements.
(h) This secured term loan is collateralized by an operating property and by an
assignment of rents generated by the underlying property.
(i) These promissory notes were used to finance land purchases for residential
development projects and are secured by deeds of trust.
(j) In conjunction with improvements made by a third party that will benefit a
mixed-use project, the Company issued a note for $8.6 million. The note
bears interest at a Commercial Paper Rate plus 50 basis points (5.33% at
December 31, 1998) and matures October 15, 2025.
Certain loan agreements contain restrictive financial covenants, the most
restrictive of which require a debt coverage ratio of at least 1.30:1, require
stockholders' equity to be no less than $409 million, and require that the
Company maintain certain other specified financial ratios. The Company was in
compliance with all such covenants at December 31, 1998.
The maturities of mortgage and other debt outstanding as of December 31,
1998 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

During 1996, the Company generated a net operating loss carryforward of
$0.2 million for tax purposes which expires in 2011. Deferred income tax expense
was reduced to reflect the future benefit of this amount. Deferred tax assets
include $6.0 million relating to net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") of
$17.1 million. The Company has NOLs of $10.1 million, $6.5 million, $0.3 million
and $0.2 million which expire in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011 (none of the
Company's NOLs are scheduled to expire in 2010).
The income tax benefit of $1.2 million and $1.7 million for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997 associated with the exercise of stock options is
credited directly to paid-in capital on the accompanying statement of
shareholders' equity.

========= ========= ========= =========
The Company's proportionate share of venturers' deficit is an aggregate
amount for all ventures. Because the Company's ownership percentage differs from
venture to venture, and certain ventures have accumulated deficits while others
have accumulated equity, the Company's percentage of venturers' deficit is not
reflective of the Company's ownership percentage of the ventures. The Company
does not recognize its share of losses generated by joint ventures in excess of
its investment unless it is committed, legally or otherwise, to fund deficits in
the future.
The Company has contributed appreciated property to certain of its joint
venture investments. Although the properties are recorded by the venture at fair
value on the date of contribution, the related gains have been deferred in the
Company's financial statements and will be recognized when the properties are
sold by the joint ventures.

Note 13. Employee Benefit and Stock Option Plans
The Company has a profit sharing and savings plan for all employees.
Funding consists of employee contributions along with matching and discretionary
contributions by the Company. Total expense for the Company under this plan was
$0.9 million, $0.7 million and $0.4 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
The Company has various plans through which employees may purchase common
stock of the Company.
The Incentive Stock Compensation Plan (Substitute Plan) was adopted to
provide substitute awards to employees whose awards under certain plans of the
former parent company, Santa Fe Pacific Corporation (SFP), were forfeited as a
result of the Company's spin-off from SFP in 1990. The number of shares,
exercise price and expiration dates of these awards were set so the participant
retained the full unrealized potential value of the original SFP grant. Options
became exercisable after March 5, 1992 and expire from 1996 through 1999.
The Company also has four stock option plans under which certain committees
of the Board of Directors may grant options to purchase up to 8,750,000 shares
of common stock (Stock Option Plan, 1995 Stock Option Plan, Amended and Restated
Executive Stock Option Plan and Amended and Restated 1996 Performance Award
Plan). The exercise price of options granted under these plans is generally the
fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options generally
are exercisable no earlier than six months from the date of grant and typically
expire ten years after the date of grant, although some options expire after
five years. A majority of the options granted in 1998 become exercisable in
four annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of
grant. The remaining options generally become exercisable in three annual
installments commencing on the first or third anniversary of the date of grant.
A number of options granted in 1998 also require achievement of stock price
benchmarks before each annual installment becomes exercisable.
The Company also has various plans through which non-employee directors may
purchase common stock of the Company.
Under the Amended and Restated Executive Stock Option Plan, each non-
employee director was automatically granted an option, upon initial election to
the Board of Directors, to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock at a price of
127.63% of the fair market value on the date of grant, increasing 5% on each
anniversary of the grant date commencing on the sixth anniversary. These options
are exercisable in installments on a cumulative basis at a rate of 20% each
year. No further options may be granted to non-employee directors under this
plan.
Under the Amended and Restated 1996 Performance Award Plan, each non-
employee director is automatically granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares of
common stock upon initial election to the Board of Directors and annually
thereafter during his or her term of service. The exercise price of these
options is the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and
the options are exercisable based upon stock price performance benchmarks.
In addition, under the Amended and Restated 1996 Performance Award Plan,
each non-employee director may elect to defer receipt of his or her annual
retainer fee, meeting fees, and chairmen's retainer until termination of board
service or upon the occurrence of an earlier specified date which is at least
three years after the election of deferral and to acquire stock rather than
receive cash at a purchase price equal to 90% of the fair market value of the
common stock on the date of deferral.
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, ''Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees'' (APB 25), and related
Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because, as
discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, ''Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation'' (Statement 123) requires use of option valuation models
that were developed for use in valuing publicly traded stock options. Under APB
25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals
the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation
expense is recognized.
F-20
Pro forma information regarding net income (loss) and income (loss) per
share is required by Statement 123 and has been determined as if the Company had
accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method. The
weighted-average fair value of options granted during 1998, 1997 and 1996 were
$6.26, $6.36 and $3.30, respectively. The fair value of options granted was
estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with
the following weighted-average assumptions for 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively: risk-free interest rates of 5.15%, 6.22%, and 5.82%; zero percent
dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of the
Company's common stock of 31.4%, 29.95% and 29.56%, and a weighted-average
expected life of the options of five years.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price
volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the
subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in
management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's
pro forma information is as follows:

Note 14. Capital Stock
The Company has authorized the issuance of 150 million shares of $.01 par
value common stock. The Company has reserved 8,750,000 shares of common stock
pursuant to various compensation programs.
Prior to September 1996, the Company had outstanding 3,449,999 shares of
$3.75 Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (Series A preferred stock)
and 3,000,000 shares of $3.625 Series B Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock (Series B preferred stock). The Series A preferred stock had an
annual dividend of $3.75 per share and a stated value of $50 per share. The
Series A preferred stock was convertible into common stock at a price of $9.06
per common share and was also redeemable, at the Company's option, at any time
after February 16, 1996, at $52.625 per share. The Series B preferred stock had
an annual dividend of $3.625 per share and a stated value of $50 per share. The
Series B preferred stock was convertible into common stock at a price of $9.80
per common share and was also redeemable, at the Company's option, at any time
after November 15, 1996, at $52.5375 per share.
During 1996, the Company commenced a series of calls for redemption of its
outstanding preferred stock. As a result of these calls, during 1996, 453,326
Series A preferred shares were converted into 2,501,783 common shares and
508,113 Series A preferred shares were redeemed at a cost of approximately $26.7
million. In 1997, 2,480,671 shares of Series A preferred stock and all of the
Series B preferred stock were converted into 29,001,469 shares of common stock,
with 7,889 shares of Series A preferred stock redeemed at a cost of
approximately $440,000. With the completion of these calls in June 1997, the
Company has no remaining outstanding preferred stock.
Note 15. Segment Reporting
The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are
based on the Company's method of internal reporting which disaggregates its
business by service rendered and asset type. The Company has four reportable
segments: Asset Management, Commercial Development, Residential Development,
and Mixed-Use Development. The Asset Management segment consists of leasing,
management and sales of Company owned buildings and land leases. The Commercial
Development segment develops real estate for the Company's own account or for
third parties, and acquires and sells developable land and commercial buildings.
The Residential Development segment is involved in home building, community
development and project management activities. The Mixed-Use Development
segment entitles and develops major mixed-use development sites, which include
development for residential, office, retail and entertainment purposes.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2). Each segment is
evaluated on the excess of revenues over costs, exclusive of depreciation,
amortization, income taxes and extraordinary expense. Inter-segment gains and
losses are not recognized. Debt and interest bearing assets are allocated to
segments based upon the grouping of the underlying assets. All other assets and
liabilities are specifically identified. Each segment has a separate operating
management structure, but more than one segment may ultimately report to the
same operating manager.

Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies
As of December 31, 1998, the Company has outstanding standby letters of
credit and surety bonds in the amount of $104.5 million in favor of local
municipalities or financial institutions to guarantee performance on real
property improvements or financial obligations.
The Company, as a partner in certain joint ventures, has made certain
financing guarantees (Note 5).
The Company is a party to a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary
course of business. While the Company cannot predict with certainty the final
outcome of these proceedings, considering current insurance coverages and the
substantial legal defenses available, management believes that none of these
actions, when finally resolved, will have a material adverse effect on the
consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the
Company.
Inherent in the operations of the real estate business is the possibility
that environmental liability may arise from the current or past ownership, or
current or past operation, of real properties. Also, the Company does not
generally have access to properties sold in the past which could create
environmental liabilities. The Company may be required in the future to take
action to correct or reduce the environmental effects of prior disposal or
release of hazardous substances by third parties, the Company, or its corporate
predecessors. Future environmental costs are difficult to estimate because of
such factors as the unknown magnitude of possible contamination, the unknown
timing and extent of the corrective actions which may be required, the
determination of the Company's liability in proportion to that of other
responsible parties, and the extent to which such costs are recoverable from
insurance.
F-23
At December 31, 1998, management estimates that future costs for
remediation of identified or suspected environmental contamination on operating
properties and properties previously sold approximate $10.8 million, and has
provided a reserve for that amount. It is anticipated that such costs will be
incurred over the next ten years with a substantial portion incurred over the
next five years. Management also estimates that similar costs relating to the
Company's properties to be developed or sold may range from $11.4 million to
$30.4 million. These amounts will be capitalized as components of development
costs when incurred, which is anticipated to be over a period of twenty years,
or will be deferred and charged to cost of sales when the properties are sold.
The Company's estimates were developed based on reviews which took place over
several years based upon then prevailing law and identified site conditions.
Because of the breadth of its portfolio, and past sales, the Company is unable
to review each property extensively on a regular basis. Such estimates are not
precise and are always subject to the availability of further information about
the prevailing conditions at the site, the future requirements of regulatory
agencies, and the availability of other parties to pay some or all of such
costs.
Summarized Quarterly Results (Unaudited)
The Company's income and cash flow are determined to a large extent by
property sales. Sales and net income have fluctuated significantly from quarter
to quarter, as evidenced by the following summary of unaudited quarterly
consolidated results of operations. Property sales fluctuate from quarter to
quarter, reflecting general market conditions and the Company's intent to sell
property when it can obtain attractive prices. Cost of sales may also vary
widely because (i) a number of properties have been owned for many decades; (ii)
some properties were acquired within the last ten to fifteen years; (iii)
properties are owned in various geographical locations; and (iv) development
projects have varying infrastructure costs and build-out periods.

/(1)/ The Company uses a supplemental performance measure called Earnings
Before Depreciation and Deferred Taxes (EBDDT), along with net income, to
report its operating results. EBDDT is not a measure of operating results
or cash flows from operating activities as defined by generally accepted
accounting principles. Additionally, EBDDT is not necessarily indicative
of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an
alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. However, the Company
believes that EBDDT provides relevant information about its operations
and is necessary, along with net income, for an understanding of its
operating results.
EBDDT is calculated by making various adjustments to net income.
Depreciation, amortization and deferred income taxes are excluded from
EBDDT as they represent non-cash charges. In addition, gains on the sale
of non-strategic assets and extraordinary items, including their current
tax effect, represent unusual and/or non-recurring items and are excluded
from the EBDDT calculation.
