PART I

Item 1. BUSINESS

General Development of Business

Developers Diversified Realty Corporation, an Ohio Corporation (the
"Company" or "DDR"), a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment
trust (a "REIT"), is in the business of acquiring, developing, redeveloping,
owning, leasing and managing shopping centers and business centers. Unless
otherwise provided, references herein to the Company or DDR include Developers
Diversified Realty Corporation, its wholly owned and majority owned
subsidiaries.

From January 1, 1996 to March 15, 1999, the Company has acquired 54
shopping center properties, including those owned through joint ventures, 41 of
which were acquired in 1998, eight of which were acquired in 1997 and five of
which were acquired in 1996.

The Company's executive offices are located at 3300 Enterprise Parkway,
Beachwood, Ohio 44122, and its telephone number is (216) 755-5500.

Share Split

Effective August 3, 1998, the Company effected a two for one share
split to shareholders of record on July 27, 1998 in the form of a stock
dividend. All per share amounts and the number of common shares outstanding
reflect this split, unless indicated otherwise.

Financial Information about Industry Segments

The Company is in the business of managing, operating, leasing,
acquiring, developing and investing in shopping centers and business centers.
See the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 8
of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for certain information required by Item 1.

Narrative Description of Business

Since 1965, the Company and Developers Diversified Group ("DDG"), its
predecessor, have owned and managed approximately 318 shopping centers. The
Company's portfolio as of March 15, 1999 consisted of 161 shopping centers and
one business center (including 26 properties which are owned through joint
ventures), and 71 undeveloped parcels (10 of which are owned through joint
ventures) aggregating approximately 144 acres (the "Portfolio Properties"). From
January 1, 1996 to March 15, 1999, the Company has acquired 54 shopping centers
containing an aggregate of 9.4 million square feet of gross leasable area
("GLA") owned by the Company for an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$1.1 billion. During 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Company completed expansions at 27
of its shopping centers.

As of March 15, 1999, the Company was expanding nine shopping centers and
expects to commence expansions at additional shopping centers in 1999. The
Company has also substantially completed the development of nine additional
shopping centers since December 31, 1995, at an aggregate cost of approximately
$370 million aggregating approximately 3.1 million square feet of GLA. As of
March 15, 1999, the Company had seven shopping centers under development.


- 4 -
5

The Company's shopping centers were approximately 96.5% leased as of
December 31, 1998. On December 31, 1998, the average annualized base rent per
square foot of Company-owned GLA of the shopping centers was $8.99.

The Company is self-administered and self-managed and, therefore, does
not engage or pay for a REIT advisor. The Company manages all of the Portfolio
Properties. At December 31, 1998, the Company owned and/or managed approximately
43.4 million total square feet of GLA, which included all of the Portfolio
Properties and 22 properties owned by third parties.

Strategy and Philosophy

The Company's investment objective is to increase cash flow and the
value of its portfolio of properties and to seek continued growth through the
selective acquisition, development, redevelopment, renovation and expansion of
income-producing real estate properties, primarily shopping centers. In
addition, the Company may also pursue the disposition of certain real estate
assets and utilize the proceeds to repay debt, repurchase the Company's common
shares, reinvest in other real estate assets and developments and for other
corporate purposes. In pursuing its investment objective, the Company will
continue to seek to acquire and develop high quality, well-located shopping
centers and business centers with attractive initial yields and strong prospects
for future cash flow growth and capital appreciation where the Company's
financial strength and management and leasing capabilities can enhance value.

Management believes that opportunities to acquire existing shopping
centers have been and will continue to be available to buyers with access to
capital markets and institutional investors, such as the Company. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."

The Company's real estate strategy and philosophy is to grow its
business through a combination of leasing, expansion, acquisition and
development. The Company seeks to:

- increase cash flows and property values through strategic
leasing, re-tenanting, renovation and expansion of the Company's
portfolio;

- continue to selectively acquire well-located, quality shopping
centers (individually or in portfolio transactions) which have
leases at rental rates below market rates or other cash flow
growth or capital appreciation potential where the Company's
financial strength, relationships with retailers and management
capabilities can enhance value;

- increase cash flows and property values by continuing to take
advantage of attractive financing and refinancing opportunities
(see "Recent Developments - Financings");

- increase per share cash flows through the selective disposition
of certain real estate assets and utilizing the proceeds to repay
debt, repurchase of the Company's common shares and for other
corporate purposes.

- selectively develop the Company's undeveloped parcels or new
sites in areas with attractive demographics;


- 5 -
6

- hold properties for long-term investment and place a strong
emphasis on regular maintenance, periodic renovation and capital
improvements; and

- continue to manage and develop the properties of others to
generate fee income, subject to restrictions imposed by federal
income tax laws, and create opportunities for acquisitions.

As part of its ongoing business the Company engages in discussions with
public and private real estate entities regarding possible portfolio or asset
acquisitions or business combinations.

In addition, the Company intends to maintain a conservative debt
capitalization ratio. At December 31, 1998, the Company's debt to total market
capitalization ratio, excluding the Company's proportionate share of
non-recourse indebtedness of its unconsolidated joint ventures, was
approximately 0.40 to 1.0; and at March 15, 1999 this ratio was approximately
0.46 to 1.0. At December 31, 1998, the Company's capitalization consisted of
$1.0 billion of debt (excluding the Company's proportionate share of joint
venture mortgage debt aggregating $369.6 million), $338.8 million of preferred
stock and preferred operating partnership units and $1.2 billion of market
equity. (Market equity is defined as common shares outstanding and operating
partnership units outstanding multiplied by the closing price per common share
on the New York Stock Exchange at December 31, 1998 of $17.75.) At December 31,
1998, the Company's total debt consisted of $836.3 million of fixed-rate debt
and $164.2 million of variable rate debt. Fluctuations in the market price of
the Company's common shares may cause this ratio to vary from time to time.

The strategy, philosophy, investment and financing policies of the
Company, and its policies with respect to certain other activities, including
its growth, debt capitalization, distributions, status as a REIT and operating
policies, are determined by the Board of Directors. Although it has no present
intention to do so, the Board of Directors may amend or revise these policies
from time to time without a vote of the shareholders of the Company.

Recent Developments

Financings

During 1998, the Company amended and restated its primary revolving
credit facility and increased the available borrowings to $375 million from $150
million, reduced the pricing to 0.85% over LIBOR from 1.10% over LIBOR and
extended the term for an additional year through April 2001. The amended and
restated facility continues to provide for a competitive bid option for up to
50% of the facility amount. The Company recognized a non-cash extraordinary
charge of approximately $0.9 million ($0.01 per share) in the first quarter of
1998 relating to the write-off of unamortized deferred finance costs associated
with the former revolving credit facility. The Company also increased the amount
of its other unsecured revolving credit facility to $20 million from $10
million.

In April 1998, the Company completed a 1,339,278 common share offering,
to a unit investment trust, and received net proceeds of approximately $25.3
million which were primarily used to repay borrowings on the Company's revolving
credit facilities.

In July 1998, the Company completed the sale of 4,000,000 8.375% Class
C Depositary Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. In August and September
1998, the Company completed the sale of 2,160,000 8.68% Class D Depositary
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. The aggregate net proceeds of
approximately $148.3 million were used to repay variable rate borrowings on the
Company's revolving credit facilities.

In July 1998, the Company announced that the Board of Directors
approved a two-for-one common share split to shareholders of record on July 27,
1998. On August 3, 1998 each shareholder received one common share for each
common share held. The share split was effected in the form of a share dividend.

In December 1998, the Company completed a private placement of $35
million with AEW Targeted Securities Fund, L.P., an investment partnership
managed by AEW Capital Management, L.P. ("AEW"). This private placement was a
combination of preferred equity securities and a warrant to purchase
approximately 1.6 million common shares at a price of $21-5/8 per share or 1.4
million Class D Depositary Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares at a price of
$25.00 per share. The proceeds from this private placement were used to repay
borrowings on the Company's revolving credit facilities. These preferred equity
securities are structured as 8.5% cumulative redeemable preferred units of DDRC
Great Northern L.P., a wholly owned consolidated entity. The preferred units are
redeemable by DDRC Great Northern L.P. after five years. In addition, if the
warrant is exercised, the Company has the right to redeem the preferred units.
Generally, the warrant has a perpetual term, but will expire upon redemption of
the preferred units. The preferred equity securities and warrant were structured
to effectively function as a convertible preferred security.

In December 1998, the Company completed a 3,000,000 common share
offering, and received net proceeds of approximately $52.5 million which were
used to repay borrowings on the Company's revolving credit facilities.

During 1998, the Company issued approximately 4.6 million operating
partnership units, initially valued at approximately $91.4 million in
conjunction with certain property acquisitions. Each operating partnership unit
is exchangeable for one common share of the Company's stock or cash, at the
Company's option, generally beginning one year after the units were issued. The
operating partnership units were issued at prices ranging from $19.53 to $20.11
per unit.

During 1998, convertible debentures in the aggregate amount of $6.8
million converted into 0.4 million common shares. At December 31, 1998, the
Company had $40.1 million of its 7% convertible subordinated debentures
outstanding with a maturity date of August 1999 and a conversion price of
$16.6875 per common share. These debentures may be converted at any time prior
to maturity.

During 1998, the Company also assumed an aggregate of $133.9 million of
mortgage debt in conjunction with certain property acquisitions.

In September 1998, the Company received net proceeds of approximately
$192 million in conjunction with the transfer of properties to a newly formed
joint venture with DRA (See Acquisitions 1998). The proceeds were used to repay
borrowings on the Company's revolving credit facilities.

In November 1998, eleven members of the Company's executive committee
acquired 974,633 common shares from the Company, primarily from the exercise of
previously granted stock options. These purchases increased the ownership of
common shares by senior management to 3.7%. The purchase raised approximately
$15 million and was funded through a third-party financed personal loan program
guaranteed by the Company.

On February 19, 1999, DDR's Board of Directors granted the executive
officers of the Company the right to implement a common share repurchase
program. Under the terms authorized by the Board of Directors, the Company may,
during the six month period beginning February 22, 1999, purchase common shares
of the Company in the open market, at price levels not to exceed $15.50 (120% of
the closing price of the securities on February 22, 1999), up to a maximum value
of $50 million. It is not the Company's intention to increase the leverage on
its balance sheet through this stock repurchase program. The Company may also
repurchase shares from time to time to limit shareholder dilution arising from
the issuance of operating partnership units in conjunction with property
acquisitions. The Company may also invest portions of the proceeds from the sale
of properties to purchase its own shares.

In November 1995, the Company commenced a medium-term note program (the
"Medium Term Note Program"). The Medium Term Note Program enables the Company
(i) to issue on an ongoing basis discrete amounts of unsecured debt that will
closely match, both as to timing and amount, the Company's specific liquidity
requirements, including property acquisition, development and redevelopment
costs, and (ii) to better manage the Company's debt maturities, including its
mortgage debt maturities. As of March 15, 1999, the Company had issued medium
term notes in aggregate amount of $417.7 million ($200 million in 1998, $102
million in 1997, and $115.7 million in 1996). The net proceeds from each
issuance were used to repay revolving credit facilities and mortgage debt. The
Medium Term Note Program remains available for the Company to issue additional
medium term notes when the Company considers market conditions advantageous.

Property Acquisitions, Developments and Expansions

During 1998, the Company and its joint ventures completed the
acquisition of, or investment in 41 shopping centers aggregating 7.4 million
square feet of Company owned GLA for an aggregate investment of approximately
$854.6 million.

In March 1998, in a single transaction with Continental Real Estate
Companies ("Continental") of Columbus, Ohio, the Company completed the
acquisition of 10 shopping centers, two of which were acquired through
Continental. The 10 shopping centers total 1.2 million gross square feet of
Company-owned GLA. The aggregate cost of these centers was $91.9 million. In
April 1998, the Company acquired interests in three additional shopping centers
located in the Columbus, Ohio area, two of which are owned through joint
ventures from Continental. Combined, these three shopping centers have
approximately 1.0 million square feet of total GLA. The Company's proportionate
share of the investment cost will be approximately $93.4 million upon completion
of approximately 18,000 square feet which is currently under construction.

In April 1998, the Company acquired the remaining ownership interest
in a 584,000 square foot shopping center in Princeton, New Jersey at a total
cost of approximately $36.4 million. The Company had invested approximately $7.8
million in the shopping center at the end of December 1997.

In July 1998, the Company acquired from Hermes Associates of Salt
Lake City, Utah, nine shopping centers, one office building and eight additional
expansion, development or redevelopment projects. The nine shopping centers
total 2.4 million square feet of total GLA. The total consideration for this
portfolio was approximately $309 million. In addition, the Company acquired 13
shopping centers aggregating approximately 1.5 million square feet of GLA in the
St. Louis area from the Sansone Company. The Company also acquired a 50%
ownership interest in The Sansone Group's management company and development
company. The Company's net investment in this portfolio aggregated $163 million.

On August 4, 1998, the Company, in a joint release with American
Industrial Properties REIT [NYSE:IND] ("AIP"), announced the execution of a
definitive agreement providing for the strategic investment in AIP by the
Company. Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") dated as
of July 30, 1998, the Company purchased 949,147 newly issued common shares of
beneficial interest at $15.50 per share for approximately $14.7 million. Under
the terms of a separate agreement, also dated to be effective as of July 30,
1998, the Company, in exchange for five industrial properties owned by the
Company with a net book value of $7.4 million and valued at approximately $19.5
million, acquired approximately 1.3 million additional newly issued AIP shares
of beneficial interest. Concurrent with entering into the Agreement, AIP
increased its Board of Trust Managers by four positions to eleven members and
appointed the Company's designees Scott A. Wolstein, Albert T. Adams, Robert H.
Gidel and James A. Schoff to the Board. Mr. Wolstein was named AIP's Chairman of
the Board.

On November 20, 1998, the shareholders of AIP approved additional
purchases by the Company of approximately 5.2 million newly issued shares of AIP
for $81.0 million through the release of notes receivable to the Company and
cash. As of December 31, 1998 the Company had purchased 3.7 million of these
additional shares for approximately $57.1 million. Combined, the Company's
acquired shares represented 34.5% of AIP's total outstanding shares as of
December 31, 1998. In


- 9 -
10
addition, the Company advanced $14.1 million to AIP in the form of a note
bearing interest at 10.25% annually. These advances were repaid in January 1999
through the release of indebtedness in exchange for shares of AIP. In January
1999, the Company acquired approximately 3.4 million shares of AIP at an
aggregate cost of $51.8 million of which approximately 1.5 million shares were
acquired at a price of $15.50 per share and 1.9 million shares were acquired at
a price of $14.93 per share. These shares were purchased in conjunction with
AIP's acquisition of a portfolio of properties for approximately $129.8 million.
As of March 23, 1999, the Company owned approximately 44.7% of AIP's outstanding
shares. Pursuant to the Agreement, AIP may, under certain circumstances and
subject to certain limitations and price adjustments based on the market price
of AIP's common shares, exercise a put right that would require the Company to
purchase additional common or convertible preferred shares of AIP at a price not
to exceed $15.50 and $14.00 per share, respectively, for a total amount not to
exceed $172.1 million as of March 4, 1999. AIP can only exercise this put right
for the sole purpose of financing property acquisitions approved by AIP's Board
of Trust Managers.

In September 1998, the Company entered into a 50/50 joint venture with
DRA Advisors. In conjunction with this joint venture the Company contributed
properties valued at approximately $238 million to the joint venture and DRA
Advisors contributed cash of approximately $42 million. The joint venture
entered into a $156 million, seven year mortgage with a coupon interest rate of
6.64%. Net proceeds from the mortgage and the capital contribution aggregating
approximately $192 million were then distributed to the Company and used to
repay borrowings on the Company's revolving credit facilities. The Company will
continue to manage the centers and receive market fees for these services.

On December 31, 1998 the Company acquired a 50% ownership interest in a
389,000 square foot shopping center in Leawood, Kansas. The Company's investment
aggregated approximately $18 million and was comprised of an equity investment
of approximately $12.3 million and a note receivable of $5.7 million.

The Company is currently expanding nine shopping centers at an
aggregate projected cost of $42.7 million. During 1998, the Company completed
seven expansion projects at an aggregate cost of $11.2 million. The Company is
currently expanding/redeveloping nine of its shopping centers aggregating
approximately 660,000 square feet of Company owned GLA and will continue to
pursue additional expansion opportunities. The Company and its joint ventures
currently have approximately 144 acres of undeveloped land consisting of 71
parcels, primarily adjacent to its existing shopping centers, available for
development, expansion or sale.

The Company has five shopping centers under construction at December
31, 1998. The first is a 445,000 square foot shopping center in Merriam, Kansas
which is being developed through a joint venture formed in October 1996, 50% of
which is owned by the Company. This center is anchored by Home Depot (not owned
by the Company), Cinemark Theaters, Hen House Supermarket, OfficeMax, Marshalls,
Old Navy and PETsMART. Construction of this shopping center was substantially
completed by December 31, 1998. The second is a 200,000 square foot second phase
of the Company's Erie, Pennsylvania center scheduled to be completed in the Fall
of 1999 and is to be



- 10 -
11


anchored by Home Depot (not owned by the Company), PETsMart and Circuit City.
Additionally, the Company has also commenced the construction of a 280,000
square foot shopping center in Toledo, Ohio, a 185,000 square foot shopping
center in Solon, Ohio and a 220,000 square foot shopping center in Oviedo,
Florida (a suburb of Orlando). All three centers are scheduled for completion
during 1999 with several tenants opening in fourth quarter of 1998. The Company
is also pursuing additional development projects in Meridian, Idaho, Riverdale,
Utah and Coon Rapids, Minnesota.

The Company has entered into joint venture development agreements
for six additional projects with various developers throughout the country at a
projected cost aggregating approximately $237 million. Several of these projects
have commenced development and are currently scheduled for completion in 1999 or
2000. At December 31, 1998 the Company had invested approximately $30.7 million
in these projects. It is anticipated that several of these joint venture
projects will be developed through the Prudential Retail Value Fund. The
majority of the project costs are expected to be provided through construction
loans guaranteed by Prudential. Prudential will be responsible for 75% of any
funding requirements and the Company will be responsible for the remaining 25%.
The Company and Prudential will be entitled to receive a priority return on
equity capital advances at annual rates not lower than 10.5%.

In May 1998, the Company formed DDR OliverMcMillan ("DDROM"), with
OliverMcMillan, LLC, based in San Diego, California to develop, acquire, operate
and manage urban entertainment and retail projects throughout the United States.
DDROM's initial investments are comprised of six OliverMcMillan urban
entertainment and retail projects located in Southern California and Reno,
Nevada with a projected cost of approximately $223 million. Construction is
scheduled to commence at five of the six projects, generally during the second
half of 1999. At December 31, 1998 the Company had advanced approximately $13
million relating to land acquisitions and pre-development activities.
Nonrecourse construction financing will be obtained for each project, generally
estimated to be in excess of 70% of the total cost of construction. The Company
is entitled to receive a priority return on capital advances at a rate of 10.5%.

Retail Environment

During 1999, certain national and regional retailers experienced
financial difficulties and several have filed for protection under bankruptcy
laws. No significant bankruptcies have occurred during the period January 1
through March 15, 1999 with regard to the Company's portfolio of tenants. During
1998, Homeplace filed for protection under the bankruptcy laws. Homeplace
currently occupies 634,000 square feet of GLA in shopping centers owned by the
Company and its joint ventures, 2.7% of the Company's and its joint ventures
combined annualized base rental revenues and has lease terms extending through
2018. As of March 15, 1999, all of the Company's Homeplace stores continued to
operate.

See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations included in Item 7 and the Consolidated Financial
Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form
10-K for further information on certain of the recent developments described
above.

Competition

As one of the nation's largest owners and developers of neighborhood
and community shopping centers, the Company has established close relationships
with a large number of major national and regional retailers. Management is
associated with and actively participates in many shopping center and REIT
industry organizations.

Notwithstanding these relationships, there are numerous developers and
real estate companies that compete with the Company in seeking properties for
acquisition and tenants who will lease space in these properties.

Employees

As of March 15, 1999, the Company employed 230 full-time individuals,
including executive, administrative and field personnel. The Company considers
its relations with its personnel to be good.

Qualification as a Real Estate Investment Trust

The Company presently meets the qualification requirements of a REIT
under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). As a result, the Company generally will not be subject to federal
income tax to the extent it meets certain requirements of the Code.

Item 2. PROPERTIES

At December 31, 1998 the Portfolio Properties included 161 shopping
centers (26 of which are owned through joint ventures). The shopping centers
include, consisting of 130 community shopping centers and power centers, 12
enclosed mini-malls and 19 neighborhood shopping centers. The Portfolio
Properties also include 71 undeveloped parcels (aggregating approximately 144
acres) primarily located adjacent to certain of the shopping centers. The
shopping centers aggregate approximately 32.8 million square feet of
Company-owned GLA (approximately 40.9 million square feet of total GLA) and are
located in 35 states, principally in the East and Midwest, with significant
concentrations in Ohio, Florida, Utah, Michigan and North Carolina.

The Company's shopping centers are designed to attract local area
customers and are typically anchored by one or more discount department stores
and often include a supermarket, drug store, junior department store and/or
other major "category-killer" discount retailer as additional anchors.
Substantially all of the shopping centers are anchored by a Wal-Mart, Kmart or
Target, and the power centers are anchored by two or more national or regional
tenants. The tenants of the shopping centers typically offer day-to-day
necessities rather than high-priced luxury items. As one of the nation's largest
owners and operators of shopping centers, the Company has established close
relationships with a large number of major national and regional retailers, many
of which occupy space in the shopping centers.

Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
SHAREHOLDER MATTERS

The following table shows the high and low sales price of the Company's
common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") for each quarter in
1998 and 1997 and the dividends paid per common share in each such quarter:

---- ---- --- ---------
First $20-7/16 $18-1/4 $.3275
Second 21-15/32 18-21/32 .3275

3rd quarter 20-1/8 19-1/8 .315
4th quarter 20-5/8 18-21/32 .315
-------
$ 1.26

The approximate number of record holders of the Company's common shares
(its only class of common equity security) at March 15, 1999 was 422, and the
approximate number of beneficial owners of such shares was 23,000.

In February 1999, the Company declared its 1999 first quarter dividend
to shareholders of record on March 25, 1999 of $.35 per share, a 6.9% increase
over the quarterly dividend rate of $.3275 per share in 1997.

The Company intends to continue to declare quarterly dividends on its
common shares. However, no assurances can be made as to the amounts of future
dividends, since such dividends are subject to the Company's cash flow from
operations, earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and such other
factors as the Board of Directors considers relevant. The Company is required by
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to distribute at least 95% of its
REIT taxable income. The amount of cash available for dividends is impacted by
capital expenditures and debt service requirements to the extent that the
Company were to fund such items out of cash flow from operations.

In June 1995, the Company implemented a dividend reinvestment plan
under which shareholders may elect to reinvest their dividends automatically in
common shares. Under the plan, the Company may, from time to time, elect to
purchase common shares in the open market on behalf of participating
shareholders or may issue new common shares to such shareholders.

eight properties in 1997 (one of which is owned through a joint venture),
five properties in 1996, 20 properties in 1995 (10 of which are owned
through joint ventures) and 14 properties in 1994.

(2) In 1998, 1995 and 1994, the extraordinary charges relate primarily to the
write-off of deferred finance costs.

(3) Effective August 3, 1998, the Company executed a two-for-one share split
for shareholders of record on July 27, 1998 in the form of a share
dividend. Earnings per share data is reflected for all years utilizing
SFAS 128.

(4) Industry analysts generally consider funds from operations ("FFO") to be an
appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. FFO does not
represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily indicative
of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an
alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating
performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
FFO is defined generally as net income applicable to common shareholders
excluding gains (losses) on sales of property, non-recurring charges and
extraordinary items, adjusting for certain noncash items, principally real
property depreciation, equity income (loss) from its joint ventures and
minority equity investment and adding the Company's proportionate share of
FFO of its unconsolidated joint ventures and minority equity investment,
determined on a consistent basis. The Company calculates FFO in accordance
with the foregoing definition, which is currently used by NAREIT. Certain
other real estate companies may calculate FFO in a different manner.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and the
comparative summary of selected financial data appearing elsewhere in
this report. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth
in the consolidated financial statements, including trends which might
appear, should not be taken as indicative of future operations.

The Company considers portions of this information to be
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended, with respect to the Company's
expectations for future periods. Although the Company believes that the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based
upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its
expectations will be achieved. For this purpose, any statements
contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be
deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the
foregoing, the words "believes", "anticipates", "plans", "expects",
"seeks", "estimates", and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors
that could cause the results of the Company to differ materially from
those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including, among
other factors, local conditions such as an oversupply of space or a
reduction in demand for real estate in the area, competition from other
available space, dependence on rental income from real property or the
loss of a major tenant.

COMPARISON OF 1998 TO 1997 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------

Revenues from Operations

Total revenues increased $58.9 million, or 34.8%, to $228.1 million for
the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $169.2 million in 1997.
Base and percentage rents for 1998 increased $44.6 million, or 35.3%,
to $170.9 million as compared to $126.3 million in 1997. Approximately
$4.8 million of the increase in base and percentage rental income was
the result of new leasing, re-tenanting and expansion of the Core
Portfolio Properties (shopping center properties owned as of January 1,
1997), an increase of 4.6% over 1997 revenues from Core Portfolio
Properties. The 48 shopping centers acquired by the Company in 1998 and
1997 contributed $44.1 million of additional revenue and the 5 new
shopping center developments contributed $4.2 million. These increases
were offset by a decrease of $1.3 million relating to the sale of one
shopping center in December 1997 and the transfer of five business
centers to American Industrial Properties REIT ("AIP") in July 1998 and
$7.2 million relating to the transfer of six properties to a joint
venture in September 1998.

At December 31, 1998, the occupancy rate of the Company's shopping
centers aggregated 96.5% as compared to 96.1% at December 31, 1997. The
average annualized base rent per leased square foot, including those
properties owned through joint ventures, was $8.99 at December 31, 1998
as compared to $8.49 at December 31, 1997. During 1998, same store
sales, for those tenants required to report sales (approximately 17.5
million square feet), increased 3.0% to $231 per square foot as
compared to $225 per square foot for the prior twelve month period.

The increase in recoveries from tenants of $10.7 million was directly
related to the increase in operating and maintenance expenses and real
estate taxes primarily associated with the 1998 and 1997 shopping
center acquisitions and developments. Recoveries were approximately
92.5% of operating and maintenance expenses and real estate taxes in
1998 as compared to 90.0% in 1997.

Management fee income and other income increased by approximately
$3.7 million which generally related to increases in (i) interest
income of approximately $3.0 million, (ii) management fee income of
approximately $0.6 million primarily related to the acquisition of four
properties owned through joint ventures and the formation of a joint
venture in September 1998, (iii) development fee income of
approximately $0.7 million and (iv) other income of approximately $0.6
million. These increases were offset by a decrease in lease termination
fees of $1.2 million.

Expenses from Operations

Rental operating and maintenance expenses for the year ended December
31, 1998 increased $3.9 million, or 24.3%, to $20.0 million as compared
to $16.1 million in 1997. An increase of $5.2 million was attributable
to the 53 shopping centers acquired and developed in 1998 and 1997.
This increase was offset by decreases of $0.6 million related to the
Core Portfolio Properties generally associated with lower maintenance
activities in 1998 as compared to 1997 at a majority of the Company's
shopping centers, and $0.7 million relating to the sale and/or transfer
of 12 properties in 1998 and 1997.

Real estate taxes increased $6.5 million, or 32.5%, to $26.5 million
for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $20.0 million in
1997. This increase was primarily attributable to the growth related to
the 53 shopping centers acquired and developed in 1998 and 1997 which
contributed $7.5 million of the increase and an additional $0.8 million
increase primarily related to expansions associated with the Core
Portfolio Properties. These increases were offset by a decrease of $1.8
million relating to the sale and/or transfer of 12 properties in 1997
and 1998.

General and administrative expenses increased $1.8 million, or 16.8%,
to $12.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to
$11.1 million in 1997. The increase is attributable to the growth of
the Company primarily related to the 1998 and 1997 acquisitions,
expansions and


29
30


developments. The Company continues to maintain a conservative policy
with regard to the expensing of all internal leasing salaries, legal
salaries and related expenses associated with the leasing and
re-leasing of existing space. Total general and administrative expenses
were approximately 3.8% and 4.4% of total revenues, including revenues
of joint ventures, for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $10.9 million, or
33.6%, to $43.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 as
compared to $32.3 million in 1997. The increase was primarily
attributable to the growth related to the 53 shopping centers acquired
and developed in 1998 and 1997 which contributed an $11.4 million
increase and an additional $1.3 million increase related to the
expansions and improvements associated with the Core Portfolio
Properties. These increases were offset by a decrease of $1.8 million
relating to the sale and/or transfer of 12 properties in 1998 and 1997.

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, increased $21.6
million, or 60.9%, to $57.2 million for the year ended December 31,
1998 as compared to $35.6 million in 1997. The overall increase in
interest expense was primarily related to the acquisition and
development of 53 shopping centers during 1998 and 1997. The weighted
average debt outstanding and related weighted average interest rate
during 1998 was $911.7 million and 7.4%, respectively, as compared to
$510.5 million and 7.7%, respectively, during 1997. Interest
capitalized, in conjunction with development and expansion projects,
was $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to
$4.0 million in 1997.

Other

Equity in net income of joint ventures increased $2.0 million, or
18.3%, to $12.9 million in 1998 as compared to $10.9 million in 1997.
This increase is primarily attributable to the joint ventures
formed/acquired during 1998 which aggregated approximately $3.2 million
of income of which $1.3 million relates to the acquisition of four
joint venture interests acquired from Continental Real Estate Companies
("Continental") of Columbus, Ohio during the first half of 1998. An
additional $1.2 million relates to the formation of a joint venture in
September 1998 with DRA Advisors whereby the Company contributed six
wholly owned shopping centers to a newly formed joint venture in
exchange for cash of $192 million and a 50% joint venture interest. The
remaining $0.7 million increase primarily relates to various other
recently formed joint ventures including Merriam, Nassau Pavilion,
Prudential, Oliver McMillan and Sansone Management Company. The above
increases were offset by a decrease in net income from the Community
Center Joint Ventures of approximately $1.0 million, primarily
associated with an increase in interest costs relating to the
refinancing of the variable rate bridge financings to long term fixed
rate financing in May 1997.

Equity in net income of minority equity investment of $0.7 million
relates to the Company's investment in American Industrial Properties
("AIP") (NYSE: IND) for the period July 30, 1998 to December 31, 1998.

The expense relating to minority interests increased $2.3 million, to
$3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $1.0
million in 1997. The increase generally relates to the Company's
issuance of operating partnership units ("OP Units") as partial
consideration for 21 shopping centers acquired in 1998. These OP Units
are exchangeable into approximately 4.6 million common shares of the
Company. This increase is offset by the Company's purchase, in March
1998, of the minority interest in one shopping center located in
Cleveland, Ohio, for approximately $16.3 million. The minority equity
interest expense primarily represents the priority distributions
associated with such interests.

The extraordinary item, which aggregated $0.9 million for the year
ended December 31, 1998, relates to the write-off of unamortized
deferred finance costs associated with the Company's former $150
million revolving credit facility which was replaced with a $375
million revolving credit agreement.

Net Income

Net income increased $10.4 million to $77.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998 as compared to $67.5 million in 1997. The increase in
net income was primarily attributable to increased net operating
revenues (total revenues less operating and maintenance expenses, real
estate taxes, and general and administrative expense) aggregating $46.7
million, resulting from new leasing, re-tenanting and expansion of Core
Portfolio Properties, and the 53 shopping centers acquired and
developed in 1998 and 1997. An additional increase of $2.7 million
related to equity income from joint ventures and minority investment in
AIP. The increase in net operating revenues and equity in net income
from joint ventures and minority investment in AIP was offset by
increases in interest expense, depreciation and amortization, minority
expense, extraordinary item and a reduction of gain on sales of real
estate of $21.6 million, $10.9 million, $2.3 million, $0.9 million and
$3.3 million, respectively.

COMPARISON OF 1997 TO 1996 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------

Revenues from Operations

Total revenues increased $38.3 million, or 29.3%, to $169.2 million for
the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to $130.9 million in 1996.
Base and percentage rents for 1997 increased $28.2 million, or 28.7%,
to $126.3 million as compared to $98.1 million in 1996. Approximately
$3.5 million of the increase in base and percentage rental income was
the result of new leasing, re-tenanting and expansion of the Core
Portfolio Properties (shopping center properties owned as of January 1,
1996), an increase of 4.0% over 1996 revenues from Core Portfolio
Properties. The 12 shopping centers acquired by the Company in 1997 and
1996 contributed $23.7 million of additional revenue and the four new
shopping center developments contributed $4.0 million. The above
increases were offset by the contribution of two properties to a joint
venture in September 1996 which reduced base and percentage rental
revenue by $3.0 million.

At December 31, 1997, the occupancy rate of the Company's shopping
centers aggregated 96.1% as compared to 94.8% at December 31, 1996. At
December 31, 1997, the Company's portfolio was actually 96.7% leased,
including leases signed where occupancy had not occurred as of that
date. The average annualized base rent per leased square foot,
including those properties owned through joint ventures, was $8.49 at
December 31, 1997 as compared to $7.85 at December 31, 1996. During
1997, same store sales, for those tenants required to report sales
(approximately 12.6 million square feet), increased 4.17% to $230.59
per square foot as compared to $221.35 per square foot for the prior
twelve month period.

The increase in recoveries from tenants of $8.2 million was directly
related to the increase in operating and maintenance expenses and real
estate taxes associated with the 1997 and 1996 shopping center
acquisitions and developments. Recoveries were approximately 90.0% of
operating and maintenance expenses and real estate taxes in 1997 as
compared to 89.4% in 1996.

Management fee income and other income increased by approximately
$1.9 million which generally related to an increase in interest income
of approximately $0.9 million, management fee income of approximately
$0.5 million, development fee income of approximately $0.3 million and
kiosk income (temporary tenants) of approximately $0.2 million.

Expenses from Operations

Rental operating and maintenance expenses for the year ended December
31, 1997 increased $3.7 million, or 30.2%, to $16.1 million as compared
to $12.4 million in 1996. An increase of $2.7 million was attributable
to the 16 shopping centers acquired and developed in 1997 and 1996 and
an increase of $1.0 million was related to the Core Portfolio
Properties generally associated with increased maintenance activities
at a majority of the Company's shopping centers.

Real estate taxes increased $5.4 million, or 37.1%, to $20.0 million
for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to $14.6 million in
1996. This increase was primarily attributable to the growth related to
the 16 shopping centers acquired and developed in 1997 and 1996 which
contributed $5.1 million of the increase with the remaining $0.3
million increase primarily related to expansions associated with the
Core Portfolio Properties.

General and administrative expenses increased $3.0 million, or 35.9%,
to $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to
$8.1 million in 1996. The increase was primarily attributable to the
growth of the Company associated with the 1997 and 1996 acquisitions,
expansions and developments and increases in various incentive and
deferred compensation costs. The Company maintains a conservative
policy with regard to the expensing of all internal leasing salaries,
legal salaries and related expenses associated with the leasing and
re-leasing of existing space. In addition, the Company expensed all
internal costs associated with acquisitions. Total general and
administrative expenses were approximately 4.4% and 4.2% of total
revenues, including revenues of joint ventures, for the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $7.2 million, or
28.9%, to $32.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 as
compared to $25.1 million in 1996. The increase was primarily
attributable to the growth related to the 16 shopping centers acquired
and developed in 1997 and 1996 which contributed $6.7 million of the
increase and $1.1 million primarily related to the expansions and
improvements associated with the Core Portfolio Properties. The above
increases were offset by the contribution of two properties to a joint
venture in September 1996 which reduced depreciation expense by $0.6
million.

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, increased $5.7 million,
or 19.0%, to $35.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 as
compared to $29.9 million in 1996. The overall increase in interest
expense was primarily related to the acquisition and development of
shopping centers during 1997 and 1996. The weighted average debt
outstanding and related weighted average interest rate during 1997 was
$510.5 million and 7.7%, respectively, as compared to $426.5 million
and 7.8%, respectively, during 1996. Interest capitalized, in
conjunction with development and expansion projects, was $4.0 million
for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to $3.3 million in
1996.

32


Other

Equity in net income of joint ventures increased $2.2 million, or
25.1%, to $10.9 million in 1997 as compared to $8.7 million in 1996. A
net increase of $0.8 million was attributable to the Community Center
Joint Ventures primarily associated with the completion of construction
at three of the ten shopping centers which were under construction at
the date of acquisition and a gain on sale of land. The aforementioned
increases were offset by an increase in interest costs associated with
the refinancing of variable rate bridge financing to long term fixed
rate financing in May 1997. An increase of $0.8 million was related to
the formation of a joint venture with Ohio State Teachers Retirement
Systems ("OSTRS") in September 1996. An increase of $0.4 million was
related to the formation of a joint venture in January 1997 which
acquired a shopping center in San Antonio, Texas. An increase of $0.2
million was related to the expansion and redevelopment of Liberty Fair
Mall in the Martinsville, Virginia joint venture.

The minority interest expense of $1.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 1997 related to the minority equity in three shopping
center properties acquired by the Company during 1997. The charge to
income represents the priority distributions associated with the
minority equity interests.

Gain on sales of real estate aggregated $3.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 1997. In March 1997, the Company sold two business
centers in Highland Heights, Ohio aggregating approximately 113,000
square feet for approximately $5.7 million. The two business centers
had been vacant for approximately 18 months.

Net Income

Net income increased $18.0 million to $67.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 1997 as compared to $49.5 million in 1996. The increase in
net income was attributable to increased net operating revenues (total
revenues less operating and maintenance expenses, real estate taxes,
and general and administrative expense) aggregating $26.3 million,
resulting from new leasing, re-tenanting and expansion of Core
Portfolio Properties, and the 16 shopping centers acquired and
developed in 1997 and 1996. An additional increase of $2.2 million
related to increased equity in net income of joint ventures and an
increase of $3.5 million related to the gain on sale of real estate.
The increase in net operating revenues, equity income from joint
ventures and gain on sale of real estate was offset by increases in
depreciation and amortization, interest expense and minority interest
of $7.3 million, $5.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Management believes that Funds From Operations ("FFO") provides an
additional indicator of the financial performance of a Real Estate
Investment Trust. FFO is defined generally as net income applicable to
common shareholders excluding gains on sales of real estate,
non-recurring charges and extraordinary items, adjusted for certain
non-cash items, principally real property depreciation, equity in net
income from its joint ventures and equity income from its minority
equity investment and adding the Company's proportionate share of FFO
of its unconsolidated joint ventures and minority equity investment,
determined on a consistent basis.

The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the foregoing
definition, which is currently used by the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). Certain other real estate
companies may calculate FFO in a different manner.

In 1998, FFO increased $26.1 million, or 30.0%, to $113.0 million as
compared to $86.9 million and $64.6 million in 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The increases in each year were attributable to the
continuing increases in revenues from Core Portfolio Properties,
acquisitions and developments. The Company's calculation of FFO is as
follows (in thousands) set forth in the table below:

(a) Includes straight-line rental revenue of approximately $3.1 million, $2.9
million and $2.3 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
Company's proportionate share of straight-line rental revenues was $1.5
million, $1.4 million and $1.1 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

(b) At December 31, 1998, the Company owned a 50% joint venture interest
relating to 23 operating shopping center properties, an 80% joint venture
interest in two operating shopping center properties, a 35% joint venture
interest in one operating shopping center property, a 25% interest in the
Prudential Retail Value Fund and a 50% joint venture interest in a real
estate management company located in St. Louis, MO. At December 31, 1997,
the Company owned a 50% joint venture interest in 13 operating shopping
center properties and a 35% joint venture interest in one shopping center
property. At December 31, 1996, the Company owned a 50% joint venture
interest in 13 shopping center properties.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

The Company anticipates that cash flow from operating activities will
continue to provide adequate capital for all principal payments,
recurring tenant improvements, as well as dividend payments in
accordance with REIT requirements and that cash on hand, borrowings
under its existing revolving credit facilities, as well as other debt
and equity alternatives will provide the necessary capital to achieve
continued growth. Cash flow from operating activities for 1998
increased to $137.5 million as compared to $94.4 million in 1997. The
increase was attributable to the 53 shopping center acquisitions and
developments completed in 1998 and 1997, new leasing, expansion and
re-tenanting of the Core Portfolio Properties and the equity offerings
completed in 1998 and 1997.

The Company satisfied its REIT requirement of distributing at least
95% of ordinary taxable income with declared common and preferred share
dividends of $95.1 million in 1998 as compared to $79.7 million and
$66.0 million in 1997 and 1996, respectively. Accordingly, federal
income taxes were not incurred at the corporate level. The Company's
common share dividend payout ratio for the year approximated 67.0% of
its 1998 FFO as compared to 75.3% and 80.3% in 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

An increase in the 1999 quarterly dividend per common share to $0.35
from $0.3275 was approved in February 1999 by the Company's Board of
Directors. It is anticipated that the new dividend level will continue
to result in a conservative payout ratio. A low payout ratio enables
the Company to retain more capital which will be utilized towards
attractive investment opportunities in the development, acquisition and
expansion of portfolio properties.

ACQUISITIONS, DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPANSIONS
- -----------------------------------------

During the three year period ended December 31, 1998, the Company and
its joint ventures expended $1.8 billion, net, to acquire, develop,
expand, improve and re-tenant its properties as follows (in millions):

Acquisitions 1998

During 1998, the Company and its joint ventures completed the
acquisition of, or investment in 41 shopping centers aggregating 7.4
million square feet of Company owned gross leasable area (GLA) for an
aggregate investment of approximately $854.6 million.

In March 1998, in a single transaction with Continental, the Company
completed the acquisition of 10 shopping centers, two of which were
acquired through joint ventures. The 10 shopping centers total 1.2
million gross square feet of Company-owned retail space. The aggregate
cost of these centers was $91.9 million. In April 1998, the Company
acquired from Continental, interests in three additional shopping
centers located in the Columbus, Ohio area, two of which are owned
through joint ventures. Combined, these shopping centers have
approximately 1.0 million square feet of total GLA. The Company's
proportionate share of the investment cost will approximate $93.4
million upon completion of approximately 18,000 square feet which is
currently under construction.

In April 1998, the Company acquired the remaining ownership interest in
a 584,000 square foot shopping center in Princeton, New Jersey at a
total cost of approximately $36.4 million. The Company had invested
approximately $7.8 million in the shopping center at the end of
December 1997.

In July 1998, the Company acquired from Hermes Associates of Salt Lake
City, Utah, nine shopping centers, one office building and eight
additional expansion, development or redevelopment projects. The nine
shopping centers total 2.4 million square feet of total GLA. The total
consideration for this portfolio was approximately $309 million. In
addition, the Company also acquired 13 shopping centers aggregating
approximately 1.5 million square feet of GLA in the St. Louis area from
the Sansone Company. The Company also acquired a 50% ownership interest
in The Sansone Group's management Company and development company. The
Company's net investment in this portfolio aggregated $163 million.

On August 4, 1998 the Company, in a joint release with American
Industrial Properties REIT [NYSE:IND] ("AIP"), announced the execution
of a definitive agreement providing for the strategic investment in AIP
by the Company. Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement
("Agreement") dated as of July 30, 1998, the Company purchased 949,147
newly issued common shares of beneficial interest at $15.50 per share
for approximately $14.7 million. Under the terms of a separate
agreement, also dated as of July 30, 1998, the Company, in exchange for
five industrial properties owned by the Company with a net book value
of $7.4 million and valued at approximately $19.5 million, acquired
approximately 1.3 million additional newly issued AIP shares of
beneficial interest. Concurrent with entering into the Agreement, AIP
increased its Board of Trust Managers by four positions and appointed
the Company's designees Scott A. Wolstein, Albert T. Adams, Robert H.
Gidel and James A. Schoff to the Board. Mr. Wolstein was named AIP's
Chairman of the Board.

On November 20, 1998, the shareholders of AIP approved additional
purchases by the Company of approximately 5.2 million newly issued
shares of AIP for $81.0 million. As of December 31, 1998 the Company
had purchased 3.7 million of these additional shares for approximately
$57.1 million. Combined, the Company's acquired shares represented
34.5% of AIP's total outstanding shares as of December 31,1998. In
addition the Company advanced $14.1 million to AIP in the form of a
note with interest at 10.25%. These advances were repaid in January
1999. In January 1999, the Company acquired an additional 3,410,615
shares of AIP at an aggregate cost of $51.8 million of which
approximately 1.5 million shares were acquired at a price of $15.50 per
share and 1.9 million shares were acquired at a price of $14.93 per
share. These shares were purchased in conjunction with AIP's
acquisition of a portfolio of properties for approximately $129.8
million. As of March 4, 1999, the Company owned approximately 45.5% of
AIP's outstanding shares. Pursuant to the Agreement, AIP may, under
certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations, exercise a
put right that would require the Company to purchase additional common
or convertible preferred shares of AIP at a price not to exceed $15.50
and $14.00 per share, respectively, for a total amount not to exceed
$172.1 million as of March 4, 1999. AIP can only exercise its right to
these additional shares, for the sole purpose of financing property
acquisitions approved by AIP's Board of Trust Managers.

In September 1998, the Company entered into a 50/50 joint venture with
DRA Advisors. In conjunction with this joint venture the Company
contributed properties valued at approximately $238 million to the
joint venture and DRA contributed cash of approximately $42 million. In
addition, the joint venture entered into a $156 million, seven year
mortgage with a coupon interest rate of 6.64%. Net proceeds aggregating
approximately $192 million were distributed to the Company and used to
repay borrowings on the Company's revolving credit facilities. The
Company will continue to manage the centers and receive market fees for
these services.

On December 31, 1998 the Company acquired a 50% ownership interest in a
389,000 square foot shopping center in Leawood, Kansas. The Company's
investment aggregated approximately $18 million and was comprised of an
equity investment of approximately $12.3 million and a note receivable
of $5.7 million.

Expansions 1998

The Company is currently expanding nine shopping centers at an
aggregate projected cost of $42.7 million. During 1998, the Company
completed seven expansion projects at an aggregate cost of $11.2
million. The Company is currently expanding/redeveloping nine of its
shopping centers aggregating approximately 660,000 square feet of
Company owned GLA and will continue to pursue additional expansion
opportunities. The Company and its joint ventures currently have
approximately 144 acres of undeveloped land consisting of 71 parcels,
primarily adjacent to its existing shopping centers, available for
development, expansion or sale.

Developments 1998

The Company has five shopping centers under construction at December
31, 1998. The first is a 445,000 square foot shopping center in
Merriam, Kansas which is being developed through a joint venture formed
in October 1996, 50% of which is owned by the Company. This center is
anchored by Home Depot (not owned by the Company), Cinemark Theaters,
Hen House Supermarket, OfficeMax, Marshalls, Old Navy and PETsMART.
Construction of this shopping center was substantially completed by
December 31, 1998. The second is a 200,000 square foot second phase of
the Company's Erie, Pennsylvania center scheduled to be completed in
the Fall of 1999 and is to be anchored by Home Depot (not owned by the
Company), PETsMART and Circuit City. Additionally, the Company has also
commenced the construction of a 280,000 square foot shopping center in
Toledo, Ohio, a 185,000 square foot shopping center in Solon, Ohio and
a 220,000 square foot shopping center in Oviedo, Florida (a suburb of
Orlando). All three centers are scheduled for completion during 1999
with several tenants opening in the fourth quarter of 1998. The Company
is also pursuing additional development projects in Meridian, Idaho,
Riverdale, Utah and Coon Rapids, Minnesota.

The Company has entered into joint venture development agreements for
six additional projects with various developers throughout the country
at a projected cost aggregating approximately $237 million. Several of
these projects have commenced development and are currently scheduled
for completion in 1999 or 2000. At December 31, 1998 the Company had
invested approximately $30.7 million in these projects. It is
anticipated that several of these joint venture projects will be
developed through the Prudential Retail Value Fund. The majority of the
project costs are expected to be provided through construction loans
guaranteed by Prudential. Prudential will be responsible for 75% of any
funding requirements and the Company will be responsible for the
remaining 25%. The Company and Prudential will be entitled to receive a
priority return on equity capital advances at rates not lower than
10.5%.

In May 1998, the Company formed DDR OliverMcMillan ("DDROM"), with
OliverMcMillan, LLC, based in San Diego, California to develop,
acquire, operate and manage urban entertainment and retail projects
throughout the United States. DDROM's initial investments are comprised
of six OliverMcMillan urban entertainment and retail projects located
in Southern California and Reno, Nevada with a projected cost of
approximately $223 million. Construction is scheduled to commence at
five of the six projects, generally during the second half of 1999. At
December 31, 1998 the Company had advanced approximately $13 million
relating to land acquisitions and predevelopment activities.
Nonrecourse construction financing will be obtained for each project,
generally estimated to be in excess of 70% of the total cost of
construction. The Company is entitled to receive a priority return on
capital advances at a rate of 10.5%.

1997 Activity

During 1997, the Company acquired seven shopping centers aggregating
2.4 million square feet of Company owned GLA for an aggregate
investment of approximately $267.9 million. In addition, in January
1997, the Company entered into a joint venture with certain
institutional investors which are advised by DRA Advisors, Inc. to
acquire a 0.3 million square foot shopping center located in San
Antonio, Texas. The aggregate cost of the shopping center was
approximately $38.3 million of which the Company's proportionate
ownership share is 35%. The Company also contributed approximately $0.5
million of additional assets to the OSTRS Joint Venture during 1997.

During 1997, the Company and its joint ventures completed expansions
and redevelopment's aggregating approximately 0.8 million square feet
at an aggregate cost of approximately $39.0 million at 13 of its
shopping centers.

During 1997, the Company substantially completed the construction of
four shopping centers which included: (i) a 235,000 square foot Phase
II development of the Canton, Ohio shopping center; (ii) a 500,000
square foot shopping center in Boardman, Ohio; (iii) a 475,000 square
foot shopping center in Stow, Ohio and (iv) an 84,000 square foot
shopping center in Aurora, Ohio.

Development activity was completed at two of the Company's joint
venture shopping centers located in Atlanta, Georgia and Framingham,
Massachusetts which were acquired in connection with the Community
Center Joint Ventures in November 1995.

36


In December 1997, the Company acquired 33 retail redevelopment sites,
formerly occupied by Best Products, at a cost of approximately $54.5
million. In February 1998, these assets were contributed to the Retail
Value Fund, a joint venture with Prudential Real Estate Investors. See
discussion under "Financing Activities" below regarding the Retail
Value Fund.

1996 Activity

During 1996, the Company acquired five shopping centers aggregating 1.1
million square feet of Company owned GLA for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $113.9 million.

In September 1996, the Company entered into a joint venture with OSTRS.
In conjunction with the formation of the joint venture, the Company
contributed to the joint venture two recently developed shopping
centers with a net book value of $41.6 million and non-recourse
mortgage debt aggregating $36.4 million. OSTRS funded initial cash
contributions of $11.6 million, which was used to repay a portion of
the non-recourse mortgage debt. In addition to owning a 50% interest in
the joint venture, the Company continues to manage the two properties
pursuant to a management agreement.

During 1996, the Company completed expansions at seven of its shopping
centers aggregating approximately 375,000 square feet for an aggregate
cost of approximately $24.6 million.

During 1996, the Company completed the first phase of a 520,000 square
foot shopping center development in Canton, Ohio for an aggregate cost
of $21.2 million. This property was contributed into the joint venture
with OSTRS as discussed above. The Company also completed the
development of the initial phase of a shopping center in Aurora, Ohio
aggregating approximately 84,000 square feet at a total cost of $4.9
million. Construction had also commenced on the development of four
additional shopping centers aggregating approximately 1.7 million
square feet for an aggregate projected cost of approximately $117
million. In addition, the Company completed the development of the
Independence, Missouri shopping center, which is one of the three
Community Center Joint Venture properties acquired while under
development in 1995 through the Homart transactions. The remaining two
shopping centers under development, located in Framingham,
Massachusetts and Atlanta, Georgia, were in the final stages of
construction. As of December 31, 1996, the majority of tenants had
opened at each of these centers.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES
- --------------------

The above acquisitions, developments and expansions were generally
financed through cash provided from operating activities, revolving
credit facilities, mortgages assumed, construction loans, unsecured
public debt, common and preferred equity offerings, joint venture
capital and OP Units. Total debt outstanding at December 31, 1998 was
$1.0 billion as compared to $668.5 million and $478.4 million at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. In 1998, the Company
increased total debt by $332.0 million primarily to fund acquisitions,
developments, expansions and other real estate investments.

During 1998, the Company issued an aggregate of $200 million of senior
unsecured fixed rate notes through its Medium Term Note Program. In
January 1998, $100 million of Senior Notes were issued with a maturity
of 10 years and an interest rate of 6.625% and in July 1998, $100
million of Senior Notes were issued with a maturity of 20 years and an
interest rate of 7.5%. The proceeds were used to repay variable rate
borrowings on the Company's revolving credit facilities primarily
incurred with shopping center acquisitions.

During 1998, the Company amended and restated its revolving credit
facility and increased the available borrowings to $375 million from
$150 million, reduced the pricing to 0.85% over LIBOR from 1.10% over
LIBOR and extended the term for an additional year through April 2001.
The amended and restated facility also continues to provide for a
competitive bid option for up to 50% of the facility amount. The
Company recognized a non cash extraordinary charge of approximately
$0.9 million ($0.01 per share) in the first quarter of 1998 relating to
the write-off of unamortized deferred finance costs associated with the
former revolving credit facility. The Company also increased the amount
of its other unsecured revolving credit facility to $20 million from
$10 million.

In April 1998, the Company completed a 669,639 common share offering
(pre-split), through a registered unit investment trust, and received
net proceeds of approximately $25.3 million which were primarily used
to repay borrowings on the Company's revolving credit facilities.

In July 1998, the Company completed the sale of 4,000,000 Class C
Depositary Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. In August and
September 1998, the Company completed the sale of 2,160,000 Class D
Depositary Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. The aggregate net
proceeds of approximately $148.3 million were used to repay variable
rate borrowings on the Company's unsecured revolving credit facilities.



36
37


In July 1998, the Company announced that the Board of Directors
approved a two-for-one share split to shareholders of record on July
27, 1998 in the form of a share dividend. On August 3, 1998 each
shareholder received one common share for each common share held on
that date.

In December 1998, the Company completed a private placement of $35
million with AEW Targeted Securities Fund, L.P., an investment
partnership managed by AEW Capital Management, L.P. ("AEW"). This
private placement was a combination of preferred equity securities and
a warrant to purchase approximately 1.6 million common shares at a
price of $21-5/8 per share or 1.4 million Class D Depositary Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Shares at a price of $25.00 per share. The
proceeds from this private placement were used to repay borrowings on
the Company's revolving credit facilities. These preferred equity
securities are structured as 8.5% cumulative redeemable preferred units
of DDRC Great Northern L.P., a wholly owned consolidated entity. The
preferred units are redeemable by DDRC Great Northern L.P. after five
years. In addition, if the warrant is exercised the Company has the
right to redeem the preferred units. Generally, the warrant has a
perpetual term, but will expire upon redemption of the preferred units.
The preferred equity securities and warrant were structured to function
as a convertible preferred security.

In December 1998, the Company completed a 3,000,000 common share
offering, and received net proceeds of approximately $52.5 million
which were used to repay borrowings on the Company's revolving credit
facilities.

During 1998 the Company also issued approximately 4.6 million OP Units
valued at approximately $91.4 million in conjunction with certain
property acquisitions. Each OP Unit is exchangeable into one common
share of the Company's stock or cash, at the Company's option. The OP
Units were issued at prices ranging from $19.53 to $20.11 per unit.

A summary of the aggregate gross proceeds raised through the issuance
of common shares, preferred shares, preferred partnership units,
warrants, senior unsecured notes, construction loans and OP Units
issued as consideration for the purchase of real estate assets
aggregated $1,089.2 million during the three year period ended December
31, is as follows (in millions):

During 1998, Convertible Debentures in the aggregate amount of $6.8
million converted into 0.4 million common shares. At December 31, 1998,
the Company had $40.1 million of its 7% convertible debentures
outstanding with a maturity date of August 1999 and a conversion price
of $16.6875 per common share.

During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company also assumed
mortgage debt in conjunction with certain property acquisitions
aggregating $133.9 million.

In addition, in September 1998 the Company received net proceeds of
approximately $192 million in conjunction with the formation of a joint
venture with DRA. (See 1998 acquisitions). The proceeds were used to
repay borrowings on the Company's revolving credit facilities.

In November 1998, eleven members of the Company's executive committee
acquired 974,633 common shares, primarily from the exercise of
previously granted stock options. These purchases increased the
ownership of common shares by senior management to 3.7%. The purchase
raised approximately $15 million and was funded through a third-party
financed personal loan program guaranteed by the Company.


37
38

On February 19, 1999, DDR's Board of Directors granted the executive
officers of the Company the right to implement a common share buy-back
program in response to what the Company's executive committee believes
to be an undervaluation of the Company's common shares. Under the terms
authorized by the Board of Directors, the Company may, during the six
month period beginning February 22, 1999, purchase common shares of the
Company in the open market, at price levels not to exceed 120% of the
closing price of the securities on February 22, 1999 ($15.50), up to a
maximum value of $50 million. It is not the Company's intention to
increase the leverage on its balance sheet through this stock buy-back
program. Acquisitions of shares may be made to limit shareholder
dilution which may arise as a result of the issuance of OP Units in
conjunction with property acquisitions. The Company may also invest
portions of the proceeds from the sale of properties to purchase its
own shares.

CAPITALIZATION
- --------------

At December 31, 1998, the Company's capitalization consisted of $1.0
billion of debt (excluding the Company's proportionate share of joint
venture mortgage debt aggregating $369.6 million), $338.8 million of
preferred stock and preferred partnership units and $1.2 billion of
market equity (market equity is defined as common shares outstanding
and operating partnership units outstanding multiplied by the closing
price per common share on the New York Stock Exchange at December
31, 1998 of $17.75) resulting in a debt to total market capitalization
ratio of .40 to 1.0 as compared to the ratios of .36 to 1.0 and .33 to
1.0 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. At December 31, 1998,
the Company's total debt consisted of $836.3 million of fixed rate debt
and $164.2 million of variable rate debt.

It is management's intention that the Company have access to the
capital resources necessary to expand and develop its business.
Accordingly, the Company may seek to obtain funds through additional
equity offerings or debt financings in a manner consistent with its
intention to operate with a conservative debt capitalization policy and
maintain its investment grade ratings with Moody's Investor Services
and Standard and Poor's. In February 1999, the Company filed a shelf
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under which $750 million of debt securities, preferred shares or common
shares may be issued. In addition, as of December 31, 1998, the Company
had $263.0 million available under its $395.0 million of unsecured
revolving credit facilities. As of December 31, 1998, the Company also
had 106 operating properties with $151.2 million, or 69.2%, of the
total revenue for the year ended December 31, 1998 which were
unencumbered thereby providing a potential collateral base for future
borrowings.

INFLATION
- ---------

Substantially all of the Company's long-term leases contain provisions
designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Such provisions
include clauses enabling the Company to receive percentage rentals
based on tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise,
and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during
the terms of the leases. Such escalation clauses are often related to
increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indices. In
addition, many of the Company's leases are for terms of less than ten
years, which permits the Company to seek to increase rents upon
re-rental at market rates. Most of the Company's leases require the
tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area
maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby
reducing the Company's exposure to increases in costs and operating
expenses resulting from inflation.



38
39


ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
- -------------------

Historically, real estate has been subject to a wide range of cyclical
economic conditions which affect various real estate sections and
geographic regions with differing intensities and at different times.
Adverse changes in general or local economic conditions could result in
the inability of some existing tenants of the Company to meet their
lease obligations and could otherwise adversely affect the Company's
ability to attract or retain tenants. The shopping centers are
typically anchored by one or more discount department stores (usually
Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target, Kohl's, TJ Maxx/Marshalls), supermarkets and
drug stores which generally offer day-to-day necessities, rather than
high-priced luxury items. Since these merchants typically perform
better in an economic recession than those who market high priced
luxury items, the percentage rents received by the Company have
remained relatively stable. In addition, the Company seeks to reduce
its operating and leasing risks through ownership of a portfolio of
properties with a diverse geographic and tenant base.

During 1998 and 1997, certain national and regional retailers have
experienced financial difficulties and several have filed for
protection under bankruptcy laws. Although the Company has experienced
an increase in the number of tenants filing for protection under
bankruptcy laws, the Company has not incurred any significant financial
losses through March 4, 1999 with regard to the Company's portfolio of
tenants. During 1998, Homeplace filed for protection under Chapter 11
of the bankruptcy laws. Homeplace currently occupies 634,000 square
feet of GLA in shopping centers owned by the Company and its joint
ventures and represents 2.7% of the Company's and its joint ventures
combined annualized base rental revenues for the year ended December
31, 1998. As of March 4, 1999 all of the Company's Homeplace stores
continued to operate. The Company believes that the quality of the real
estate where the Homeplace stores are located, is such that the
releasing of the space at similar terms, would generally not be
difficult in the event that Homeplace would reject any of its leases.

Year 2000

The Year 2000 issue ("Year 2000") is the result of computer programs
being written using two digits rather than four to define the
applicable year. Any of the Company's computer programs that have
time-sensitive hardware and software may recognize a date using "00" as
the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system
failure or miscalculation causing disruptions of operations, including
among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions,
collect rents, or engage in similar normal business activities.

The Company believes that it has identified all of its information
technology ("IT") and non-IT systems to assess the Year 2000 readiness.
Critical IT systems include, but are not limited to: accounts
receivable and rent collections, accounts payable and general ledger,
human resources and payroll (both property and corporate levels), cash
management, fixed assets, all IT hardware (such as desktop/laptop
computers and data networking equipment). Critical non-IT systems
include telephone systems, fax machines, copy machines as well as
property environmental, health safety and security systems (such as
elevators and alarm systems).


39
40



The Company has conducted an assessment of its core internal and
external IT systems. The majority of these systems are currently Year
2000 compliant or are in the process of being modified to be compliant.
The Company is currently in the process of determining its exposure to
any non-IT systems that are not Year 2000 compliant and believes that
all such systems will have been identified, evaluated and completed
with respect to their Year 2000 compliance by the close of the third
quarter of 1999.

To date, the Company has expended approximately $40,000 and expects
to expend an additional $70,000 in connection with upgrading building
management, mechanical and computer systems. The costs of the project
and the date on which the Company believes it will complete the Year
2000 modifications are based on management's best estimates, which were
derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events, including the
continued availability of certain resources and other factors. However,
there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and
actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.

In some cases, various third party vendors have been queried on their
Year 2000 readiness. The Company continues to query its significant
suppliers and vendors to determine the extent to which the Company's
interface systems are vulnerable to those third parties' failure to
remediate their own Year 2000 issues. To date, the Company is not aware
of any significant supplier or vendors with a Year 2000 issue that
would materially impact the Company's results of operations, liquidity,
or capital resources. However, there can be no assurances that the
systems of other companies, on which the Company's systems rely, will
be timely converted and would not have an adverse effect on the
Company's systems.

The Company believes it has an effective program in place that will
resolve the Year 2000 issue in a timely manner. Aside from catastrophic
failure of banks or governmental agencies, the Company believes that it
could continue its normal business operations if compliance by the
Company is delayed. The Company does not intend to develop a formal
contingency plan, as the Company believes that all critical systems
will be Year 2000 compliant. The Company does not believe that the Year
2000 issue will materially impact its results of operations, liquidity
or capital resources.

Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. At
December 31, 1998, approximately 83.6% of the Company's debt (excluding
joint venture debt) bore interest at fixed rates with a weighted
average maturity of approximately 7.9 years and a weighted average
interest rate of approximately 7.6%. The remainder of the Company's
debt bears interest at variable rates with a weighted average maturity
of approximately 2.3 years and a weighted average interest rate of
approximately 6.5% at December 31, 1998. As of December 31, 1998, the
Company's joint ventures, indebtedness aggregated $601.6 million of
fixed rate debt, of which the Company's proportionate share was $310.0
million, and $117.2 million of variable rate debt, of which the
Company's proportionate share was $59.6 million. The Company intends to
utilize variable rate indebtedness available under its revolving credit
facilities in order to initially fund future acquisitions, developments
and expansions of shopping centers. Thus, to the extent that the
Company incurs additional variable rate indebtedness, its exposure to
increases in interest rates in an inflationary period would increase.
The Company believes, however, that in no event would increases in
interest expense as a result of inflation significantly impact the
Company's distributable cash flow.

At December 31, 1998, the fair value of the Company's fixed rate debt
amounted to a liability of $823.5 million (excluding joint venture
debt) compared to its carrying amount of $836.3 million. The fair value
of the Company's proportionate share of joint venture fixed rate debt
was $315.8 million compared to its carrying amount of $310.0 million.
The Company estimates that a 100 basis point decrease in market
interest rates at December 31,1998 would have changed the fair value of
the Company's fixed rate debt and proportionate share of joint ventures
fixed rate debt to a liability of $866.1 million and $319.7 million,
respectively. The sensitivity to changes in interest rates of the
Company's fixed rate debt was determined with a valuation model based
upon changes that measure the net present value of such obligations
which arise from the hypothetical estimate as discussed above. The
Company intends to continuously monitor and actively manage interest
costs on its variable rate debt portfolio and may enter into swap
positions based on market fluctuations. In addition, the Company
believes that it has the ability to obtain funds through additional
equity and/or debt offerings, including the issuance of medium term
notes. Accordingly, the cost of obtaining such protection agreements in
relation to the Company's access to capital markets will continue to be
evaluated.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Developers Diversified Realty Corporation

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying
index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Developers Diversified Realty Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company")
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. In addition, in our
opinion, the financial statement schedules listed in the accompanying index,
present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when
read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These
financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of
the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial statement schedules 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

Developers Diversified Realty Corporation, subsidiaries (the "Company"
or "DDR") and related real estate joint ventures and its minority
equity investment are engaged in the business of acquiring, expanding,
owning, developing, managing and operating neighborhood and community
shopping centers, enclosed malls and business centers. The Company's
shopping centers are typically anchored by discount department stores
(usually Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target, Kohl's, TJ Maxx/Marshall's), home
improvement stores, supermarkets, book stores, office supply stores,
electronic stores and drug stores which usually offer day-to-day
necessities. At December 31,1998, the Company owned shopping centers in
35 states. The tenant base includes primarily national and regional
retail chains and local retailers, consequently, the Company's credit
risk is concentrated in the retail industry.
Revenues derived from the Company's two largest tenants, Wal-Mart and
Kmart, aggregated 9.4%, 12.3% and 15.6% of total revenues, including
joint venture revenues, for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively, as follows:



YEAR WAL-MART KMART
----------------------------------------------


1998 5.3% 4.1%
1997 7.1% 5.2%
1996 9.3% 6.3%


The total percentage of Company owned gross leasable area ("GLA"),
including joint venture GLA, attributed to Wal-Mart and Kmart was 9.3%
and 7.5%, respectively, at December 31, 1998. The Company's ten largest
tenants comprised 22.9%, 25.6% and 32.2% of total revenues for the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Management
believes the Company's portfolio is diversified in terms of location of
its shopping centers and its tenant profile. Adverse changes in general
or local economic conditions, could result in the inability of some
existing tenants to meet their lease obligations and could otherwise
adversely affect the Company's ability to attract or retain tenants.
During 1998 and 1997, certain national and regional retailers
experienced financial difficulties and several filed for protection
under bankruptcy laws. Although the Company has experienced an increase
in the number of tenants filing for protection under bankruptcy laws,
the Company has not incurred any significant losses through March 4,
1999 with regard to the Company's portfolio of tenants. During 1998,
Homeplace filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy laws.
Homeplace currently occupies 634,000 square feet of gross leasable area
in shopping centers owned by the Company and its joint ventures which
represents 2.7% of the Company's and its joint ventures combined
annualized base rental revenues. As of March 4, 1999 all of the
Company's Homeplace stores continue to operate. The Company believes
that the quality of the real estate, where the Homeplace stores are
located, is such that the releasing of the space at similar terms would
generally not be difficult in the event that Homeplace rejects any of
its leases.

Principles of Consolidation

All majority owned subsidiaries and investees where the Company has
financial and operating control are included in the consolidated
financial statements. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in real
estate joint ventures and companies for which the Company has the
ability to exercise significant influence over but does not have
financial operating control are accounted for using the equity method
of accounting. Accordingly, the Company's share of the earnings of
these joint ventures and companies is included in consolidated net
income.

Statement of Cash Flows and Supplemental Disclosure of Non-Cash Investing and
Financing Information

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Non-cash investing and financing activities are summarized as follows
(in millions):



Year ended December 31,
1998 1997 1996
--------------------------------


Conversion of debentures and related deferred finance costs $ 6.7 $ 12.9 $ -
Minority interests and operating partnership units
relating to shopping center acquisitions 108.5 16.6 -
Contribution of net assets to joint ventures 27.6 0.5 5.2
Acquisition of a minority equity investment 7.4 - -
Mortgages assumed, shopping center acquisitions 133.9 - -

Dividends declared, not paid 20.1 - -


The foregoing transactions did not provide or use cash and,
accordingly, they are not reflected in the statements of cash flows.

Real Estate

Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation,
which, in the opinion of management, is not in excess of the individual
property's estimated undiscounted future cash flows, including
estimated proceeds from disposition.
Depreciation and amortization are provided on a straight-line basis
over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:



----------------------------------------------------------------
Buildings 18 to 31 years
----------------------------------------------------------------


Furniture/Fixtures and Useful lives, which approximate
Tenant Improvements lease terms, where applicable
----------------------------------------------------------------


Depreciation expense was $43.2 million, $32.3 million and $25.1 million
for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred. Renovations which improve or extend the life of the asset are
capitalized. Included in land at December 31, 1998 was undeveloped real
estate, generally outlots or expansion pads adjacent to the shopping
centers and enclosed malls owned by the Company (excluding shopping
centers owned through joint ventures) which aggregated approximately
132 acres at 61 sites.
Construction in progress includes shopping center developments and
significant expansions and re-developments. The Company capitalizes
interest on funds used for the construction or expansion of shopping
centers, including funds advanced to joint ventures with qualifying
development activities. Capitalization of interest ceases when
construction activities are completed and the property is available for
occupancy by tenants. For the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996, the Company capitalized interest of $9.9 million, $4.0 million,
and $3.3 million, respectively. In addition, the Company capitalized
certain construction administration costs of $1.8 million, $1.3 million
and $1.1 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in obtaining long-term financing are included in
deferred charges in the accompanying balance sheets and are amortized
over the terms of the related debt agreements; such amortization is
reflected as interest expense in the consolidated statements of
operations.

Revenue Recognition

Minimum rents from tenants are recognized monthly using the
straight-line method. Percentage and overage rents are recognized after
the tenants' reported sales have exceeded the applicable sales
breakpoint. Revenues associated with tenant reimbursements are
recognized in the period in which the expenses are incurred based upon
the tenant lease provisions. Lease termination fees are included in
other income and recognized upon termination of a tenant's lease, which
generally coincides with the receipt of cash.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable, other than straight-line rents receivable, are
expected to be collected within one year and are net of estimated
unrecoverable amounts of approximately $2.1 million and $2.4 million at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. At December 31, 1998 and
1997, straight-line rent receivables, net of a provision for
uncollectible amounts, aggregated $4.2 million and $2.8 million,
respectively.

Gain on Sales of Real Estate

Gain on sales of real estate generally relates to the sale of outlots
and land adjacent to existing shopping centers and is recognized at
closing when the earnings process is deemed to be complete. During
1998, the Company sold several outlots adjacent to the Company's
shopping centers and recognized an aggregate gain of $0.2 million.
During 1997, the Company sold two business centers and a shopping
center and recognized an aggregate gain of $3.5 million.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include internal leasing and legal
salaries and related expenses which are charged to operations as
incurred. All internal personnel costs associated with the acquisition
of real estate are expensed as incurred.

Interest and Real Estate Taxes

Interest and real estate taxes incurred during the development and
significant expansion of shopping centers are capitalized and
depreciated over the life of the building. In addition, interest is
also capitalized on investments and advances to joint ventures
associated with the development of shopping centers during the
development period.

Interest paid during the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996
aggregated $63.4 million, $36.2 million and $31.2 million,
respectively.



F-8
61

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist primarily of the goodwill and property
management contracts and rights to certain development projects
obtained through the acquisitions of real estate management businesses,
which are amortized to expense on the straight line basis over their
estimated useful lives of 15 years. The carrying value of intangible
assets is periodically reviewed by the Company and impairments are
recognized when the expected future operating cash flows derived from
such intangible assets is less than their carrying value.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company may from time to time enter into interest rate swap
contracts as hedges against increasing rates on its variable rate debt.
The Company does not utilize these arrangements for trading or
speculative purposes. To qualify for hedge accounting, the contracts
must meet defined correlation and effectiveness criteria, be designated
as a hedge and result in cash flows and financial statement effects
which substantially offset those of the position being hedged. The
Company records net amounts received or paid under these contract as
adjustments to interest expense. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, there
were no interest rate swap contracts outstanding. See Note 3 for a
description of the Company's funding commitment relating to its equity
affilitate.

Federal Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a qualified Real Estate
Investment Trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. As a REIT, the Company is entitled to a tax deduction for the
amount of dividends paid to its shareholders, thereby effectively
subjecting the distributed net income of the Company to taxation at the
shareholder level only, provided it distributes at least 95% of its
taxable income and meets certain other REIT qualification requirements.
As the Company distributed sufficient taxable income for the years
ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, no U.S. Federal income or
excise taxes were incurred. The Company is subject to state and local
income and franchise taxes in certain states and municipalities which
are reflected in operating and maintenance expenses.
The tax basis of assets and liabilities exceeds the amounts reported
in the accompanying financial statements by approximately $110 million,
$111 million and $108 million at December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

Business Segment Information

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131 - Disclosure about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS 131 establishes
standards for disclosure about operating segments in annual financial
statements and selected information in interim financial reports. It
also establishes standards for related disclosures about the products
and services, geographic areas and major customers. The sole business
of the Company and its consolidated affiliates is the ownership,
development and operation of retail shopping centers. The Company
evaluates operating results and allocates resources on a
property-by-property basis. The Company does not distinguish or group
its operations on a geographic basis. Accordingly, the Company believes
it has a single reportable segment for SFAS 131 purposes. Further, all
operations are within the United States and significant tenant revenues
have been previously disclosed. Therefore, no additional disclosure
relating to the adoption of SFAS 131 is considered necessary.

New Accounting Standards

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard ("SFAS") No. 130 - Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS No.
130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general
purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as the
changes in equity of a business during a period from transactions and
other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. The new standard
becomes effective for the Company for the year ending December 31,
1998, and requires that comparative information from earlier years be
stated to conform to the requirements of this standard. Effective March
31, 1998, the Company implemented SFAS No. 130 - Reporting
Comprehensive Income. For the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996 the Company had no items of other comprehensive income requiring
additional disclosure.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 - Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement requires
fair value accounting for all derivatives including recognizing all
such instruments on the balance sheet with an offsetting amount
recorded in the income statement or as part of comprehensive income.
The new standard becomes effective for the Company for the year ending
December 31, 2000. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to
have a material impact on the Company's financial position or cash
flows.

Stock Split

The Board of Directors of the Company approved a two-for-one stock
split to shareholders of record on July 27, 1998. On August 3, 1998,
each such shareholder received one share of common stock for each share
of common stock held. This stock split was effected in the form of a
stock dividend. Accordingly, $2.9 million was transferred from
additional paid in capital to common stock, representing the stated
value of additional shares issued. All share and per share data and
Operating Partnership Units ("OP Units") included in these consolidated
financial statements including all such disclosures have been adjusted
to reflect this split, except as indicated.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 and 1996 financial
statements to conform to the 1998 presentation.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

2. EQUITY INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES
- ---------------------------------------

The Company's equity investments in joint ventures at December 31, 1998
was comprised of the following:

(13 in 1997 and 1996);

A 35% joint venture interest in one operating shopping center
acquired in 1997;

formed in 1998 of which the Company owns 1% of the voting and
100% of the non-voting common stock; and

An 81% economic interest in a management service subsidiary
formed in 1998 of which the Company owns 9% of the voting and
100% of the non-voting common stock.

agreements, are generated. During 1998, 1997 and 1996, the joint
ventures distributed an aggregate of $19.6 million, $10.2 million and
$8.6 million, respectively, to its joint venture partners. The 1998
distributions exclude the $192 million distribution associated with the
formation of a joint venture in September 1998 discussed below.
During 1997 and 1998, the Company entered into six separate 50% owned
joint ventures to pursue additional shopping center developments.



F-11
64
In February 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with
Prudential Real Estate investors and formed a Retail Value Fund (the
"Fund"). The Fund invests in retail properties within the United States
that are in need of substantial retenanting and market repositioning
and may also make equity and debt investments in companies owning or
managing retail properties as well as in third party development
projects that provide significant growth opportunities. The retail
property investments may include enclosed malls, neighborhood and
community centers or other potential commercial redevelopment
opportunities. The Company maintains an effective 25.45% (70% of which
is the Company's share of a 1% general partner interest which provides
for a 33% profit interest once the limited partners have received a 10%
priority return) ownership interest. The Fund's general partner has its
own employees and the Company assumed retail management
responsibilities including leasing redevelopment, accounting and
operating and receives fees for its management and construction
supervision services. The Fund acquired 33 retail sites, formerly
occupied by Best Products, located in 13 different states and a
shopping center in Longbeach, CA acquired in December 1998, which will
be redeveloped.
In March and April 1998, through transactions with Continental Real
Estate Companies of Columbus, Ohio, the Company acquired interests in
four shopping center joint ventures. The aggregate cost of these
shopping centers, including the assumption of approximately $82.0
million of debt, was approximately $113.8 million. The Company paid
approximately $19.1 million in cash and issued $2.1 million of OP Units
for its share of the partnership equity interests. The Company manages
these shopping centers pursuant to a management agreement.
In May 1998, the Company formed DDR OliverMcMillan (DDROM) to
develop, acquire, operate and manage urban entertainment and retail
projects throughout the United States. At December 31, 1998 DDROM had
six projects in the initial stage of development. The investment and
development activities of DDROM are overseen by a four person Board of
Directors. The Company's Chief Executive Officer serves as Chairman of
DDROM's Board of Directors and its Vice Chairman and Chief Investment
Officer serves as a director tegether with two executives from the
joint venture partner. The majority of the projects are scheduled to
commence construction in 1999 with completion in 2000 and 2001.
In July 1998, in connection with the acquisition of certain shopping
center properties from The Sansone Group, the Company acquired a 50%
interest in The Sansone Group's operating/management company which
manages shopping centers and other properties in the St. Louis, MO
area. The Company is entitled to a preferred return of the first $1.0
million in net operating income, on an annual basis up to the first $5
million. In addition, the Company acquired a 50% interest in the
Sansone Group Development Company.
On September 10, 1998 the Company formed a joint venture whereby the
Company contributed six existing shopping center properties valued at
approximately $238 million and in exchange received a 50% equity
ownership interest in the joint venture and cash of approximately $192
million, funded from debt and equity proceeds received as described
below. The $192 million was used to repay variable rate indebtedness on
the Company's revolving credit facilities. In conjunction with the
Company's contribution, the joint venture entered into a seven year,
$156 million mortgage with interest at a coupon rate of 6.64% and the
joint venture partner contributed cash of approximately $42 million in
exchange for a 50% equity interest. Upon contribution, the Company did
not recognize a gain upon transfer of the properties. The Company also
entered into a master lease for certain space occupied by a tenant
which filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 with annual base rent of
$2.0 million and lease terms through 2018. In exchange for the
agreement to master lease the space, the Company retained all rights
associated with the bankruptcy claim and to the benefits associated
with the releasing of the existing space, if necessary. The Company
does not believe that its exposure to loss is material under the terms
of the agreement. In accordance with the joint venture agreement, the
Company will continue to manage the properties and receive management
fees.
The joint venture agreements generally include provisions whereby
each partner has the right to trigger a purchase or sale of its
interest in the joint ventures (Reciprocal Purchase Rights) or to
initiate a purchase and sale of the properties (Property Purchase
Rights) after a certain number of years or if either party is in
default of the joint venture agreements.
In addition, several of the joint venture agreements include a
provision whereby, the Company's joint venture partners may convert
all, or a portion of, their respective interests in such joint ventures
into common shares of the Company. The terms of the conversion are set
forth in the governing documents of such joint ventures. However, if
the joint venture partners elect to convert their respective interest
into common shares, the Company will, in most cases, have the sole
option to pay cash instead of issuing common shares. If the Company
agrees to the issuance of common shares, the agreement provides that
the converting joint venture partner will execute a lock-up arrangement
acceptable to the Company.

3. MINORITY EQUITY INVESTMENT:
- ------------------------------

On August 4, 1998 the Company, in a joint release with American
Industrial Properties REIT [NYSE: IND] ("AIP"), announced the execution
of a definitive agreement providing for the strategic investment in AIP
by the Company. Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement dated
to be effective as of July 30, 1998, the Company purchased 949,147
newly issued common shares of beneficial


F-12
65
interest at $15.50 per share for approximately $14.7 million. Under the
terms of a separate agreement, also dated to be effective as of July
30, 1998, the Company, in exchange for five industrial properties owned
by the Company, with a net book value of approximately $7.4 million and
valued at approximately $19.5 million, acquired approximately 1.3
million additional newly issued AIP shares of beneficial interest. Upon
contribution, the Company did not recognize a gain. Concurrent with
entering into the Agreement, AIP increased its Board of Trust Managers
by four positions and appointed the Company's designees Scott A.
Wolstein, Albert T. Adams, Robert H. Gidel and James A. Schoff to the
Board. Mr. Wolstein was named AIP's Chairman of the Board.
On November 20, 1998, the shareholders of AIP approved additional
purchases by the Company of up to 5,226,583 newly issued shares of AIP
for approximately $81.0 million. Through December 31, 1998 the Company
purchased 3,683,578 of these additional shares for approximately $57.1
million.
At December 31, 1998, the aggregate number of acquired shares was
5,891,196 which represents 34.5% of AIP's total outstanding common
shares. The Company's investment is accounted for using the equity
method of accounting. The aggregate acquisition price for the shares
exceeds the Company's share of the historical underlying net assets of
AIP by approximately $21.2 million which has been assigned principally
to real estate with the remainder to goodwill. The portion attributable
to real estate is being amortized over 40 years and the amount
associated with goodwill is being amortized over 15 years. The
5,891,196 shares of AIP closed at $11.6875 per share at December 31,
1998 for an aggregate amount of $68.9 million.
In January 1999, the Company acquired 1,543,005 shares of AIP's
common stock at a price of $15.50 per share and 1,867,610 shares of
AIP's common stock at a price of $14.93 per common share. As of March
4, 1999, the Company owned 9,301,817 shares of AIP's common stock
representing approximately 45.5% of AIP's total outstanding shares.
Pursuant to the agreement, AIP may as of March 4, 1999, under certain
circumstances and subject to certain limitations, exercise a put right
that would require the Company to purchase additional common or
convertible preferred shares of AIP for a total amount not to exceed
$172.1 million at a price not to exceed $15.50 and $14.00 per share,
respectively. AIP can only exercise its right to put these additional
shares for the purpose of financing property acquisitions approved by
AIP's Board of Trust Managers. Based on the terms of the option, the
Company has determined that it approximates fair value.
Summarized financial information as reflected on the accounts of AIP
as of December 31, 1998 and for the period July 30, 1998 to December
31, 1998 is as follows (in thousands):

For the period from July 30, 1998 to December 31, 1998, the Company
has recorded in equity in net income from minority equity investment,
$0.7 million representing the Company's equity in AIP's $3.2 million of
income excluding the provisions for loss on real estate and change in
control charges. The real estate impairment and change in control
charges detailed above are reconciling items between the Company's
proportionate share of AIP's reported results of operations and the
amount reflected in the Company's financial statements as equity in net
income from minority equity investment. These amounts were considered
by the Company in its allocation of its cost to AIP's underlying assets
and liabilities.

4. ACQUISITIONS AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- ---------------------------------------------------

During the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company
completed the acquisition of 49 shopping centers, excluding those
acquired through joint ventures as discussed in Note 2, (37 in 1998, 7
in 1997 and 5 in 1996) at an aggregate cost of $688.4 million, $267.9
million and $113.9 million, respectively. These acquisitions were
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Significant
acquisitions were as follows:
In March 1998, in a single transaction with Continental Real Estate
Companies ("Continental") of Columbus, Ohio, the Company completed the
acquisition of 10 shopping centers, two of which were acquired through
joint ventures. The 10 shopping centers total 1.2 million GLA of
Company-owned retail space. The aggregate cost of these centers was
$91.9 million. The Company's net investment was initially funded
through its revolving credit facilities, cash and liabilities assumed
of approximately $31.6 million, mortgages assumed of approximately
$57.5 million (including $29.3 million of joint venture mortgage debt)
and the issuance of OP Units valued at approximately $2.8 million. In
certain circumstances and at the option of the Company, these units are
exchangeable into 139,872 shares of the Company's common stock.
In April 1998, the Company acquired from Continental, interests in
three additional shopping centers located in the Columbus, Ohio area.
Combined, these shopping centers will have approximately 1.0 million
square feet of total GLA. The Company's cost will approximate $93.4
million upon completion of construction. The portion under construction
has an estimated cost of approximately $4.4 million and the Company is
scheduled to close on this investment periodically throughout 1999.
In July 1998, the Company acquired from Hermes Associates of Salt
Lake City, Utah, ("Hermes Properties") nine shopping centers, one
office building and eight additional expansion, development or
redevelopment projects. The nine shopping centers aggregate 2.4 million
square feet of total GLA. The total consideration for this portfolio
was approximately $309 million comprised of $30.6 million of debt
assumed, the issuance of OP Units, which are exchangeable, in certain
circumstances and at the option of the Company, into 3,630,668 shares
of the Company's common stock or cash, initially valued at $73.0
million and $194.2 million of cash and $11.2 million other liabilities
assumed.
In July 1998, the Company also acquired 13 shopping centers
aggregating approximately 1.6 million square feet in the St. Louis,
Missouri area, at an aggregate cost of $152.5 million. Two of these
centers were subsequently sold at an aggregate price of approximately
$4.4 million. The Company also acquired a 50% ownership interest in the
Sansone Group's management company and development company. The
Company's net investment in this portfolio aggregated $162.6 million
comprised of $27.6 million of debt assumed and $135 million of cash.
The operating results of the acquired shopping centers are included
in the results of operations of the Company from the date of purchase,
including the acquisition of properties owned through joint ventures,
discussed in Note 2. The properties owned through joint ventures are
included in equity in net income of joint ventures in the statements of
operations.
The following unaudited supplemental pro forma information is
presented to reflect the effects of the common share offerings,
preferred share offerings, debt offerings and the property acquisitions

5. OTHER REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS
- --------------------------------

In December 1997, the Company and Hendon Associates formed a joint
venture to acquire 33 retail sites, formerly occupied by Best Products,
from Metropolitan Life. Under the terms of the Joint Venture, with
Hendon Associates, the Company had advanced the capital to fund the
purchase price of the assets. The 33 retail sites, are located in 13
states with concentrations in Ohio, California and New Jersey. These
sites were acquired at an initial cost of approximately $54.5 million.
In February 1998, the Company's joint venture interest was contributed
to the Retail Value Fund, a joint venture with Prudential Real Estate
Investors discussed in Note 2.
Additionally, in December 1997, the Company acquired a 42.5%
ownership interest in a 584,000 square foot shopping center, located in
Princeton, New Jersey for an initial cost of approximately $7.7
million. During the second quarter of 1998, the Company acquired the
balance of the ownership interest in the property. The total purchase
price of the shopping center, including liabilities assumed, was
approximately $36.4 million which was funded through the issuance of OP
Units convertible into approximately 79,000 shares of common stock of
the Company and the assumption of approximately $27.8 million of debt.
The Company's investment in this property is included in real estate
assets at December 31, 1998.
The Company also acquired a 45.1% ownership interest in an adjacent
development site at an initial cost of approximately $9.9 million. Upon
completion of construction, the Company has the option to acquire the
remaining ownership interest for cash and/or OP Units. This investment
is reflected in advances to and investments in joint ventures at
December 31, 1998.

------- -------
9,487 9,202
Less-accumulated amortization (4,257) (4,534)
------- -------
$ 5,230 $ 4,668
======= =======


The Company incurred deferred finance costs aggregating $2.9 million
and $1.9 million in 1998 and 1997, respectively, primarily relating to
the Company's issuance of Senior Notes (Note 9) and unsecured revolving
credit agreements (Note 8). Amortization of deferred charges was $1.4
million, $1.4 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
During 1998, the Company wrote off $0.9 million (none in 1997 and
1996) of unamortized deferred finance costs in conjunction with the
amendment and restatement of its Unsecured Credit Facility (Note 8) and
the repayment of certain secured indebtedness.

8. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES
- ------------------------------

Since May 1995, the Company has maintained a $150 million unsecured
revolving credit facility from a syndicate of financial institutions
for which the First National Bank of Chicago serves as agent (the
"Unsecured Credit Facility"). During 1998, the Company amended and
restated this facility to increase the facility to $375 million, reduce
the specified spread over LIBOR from 1.1% to 0.85%, modify certain
covenants and extend the term for an additional year, through April
2001. During the first quarter of 1998, the Company recognized a
non-cash extraordinary charge of approximately $0.9 million ($0.01 per
share), relating to the write-off of unamortized deferred finance costs
associated with the former revolving credit facility. Borrowings under
this facility bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus a
specified spread, (0.85% at December 31, 1998). The spread is dependent
on the Company's long term senior unsecured debt rating from Standard
and Poor's and Moody's Investors Service. The Company is required to
comply with certain covenants relating to total outstanding
indebtedness, secured indebtedness, net worth, maintenance of
unencumbered real estate assets and debt service coverage. The facility
also provides for a facility fee of 0.15% on the entire facility. The
Unsecured Credit Facility is used to finance the acquisition of real
estate, to provide working capital and for general corporate purposes.
At December 31, 1998 and 1997, total borrowings under this facility
aggregated $132.0 million and $138.2 million, respectively, with a
weighted average interest rate of 6.5% and 7.9%, respectively.
In September 1996, the Company entered into a three year $10 million
unsecured revolving credit facility with National City Bank, (together
with the $375 million Unsecured Credit Facility, the "Revolving Credit
Facilities"). In June 1998, the Company renegotiated the terms of this
facility to increase the facility to $20 million, to extend the
agreement through November 2000 and reduce the interest rate 15 basis
points. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at variable rates
based on the prime rate or LIBOR plus a specified spread (0.85% at
December 31, 1998). The spread is dependent on the Company's long term
senior unsecured debt rating from Standard and Poors and Moody's
Investors Service. The Company is required to comply with certain
covenants relating to total outstanding indebtedness, secured
indebtedness, net worth, maintenance of unencumbered real estate assets
and debt service coverage. The facility also provides for commitment
fees of 0.15% on the unused credit amount. At December 31, 1997, total
borrowings under this facility aggregated $1.5 million with a weighted
average interest rate of 7.1%. At December 31, 1998, there were
borrowings outstanding under this facility.
Total fees paid by the Company on its revolving credit facilities in
1998, 1997 and 1996 aggregated approximately $0.5 million, $0.3 million
and $0.3 million, respectively.

9. FIXED RATE SENIOR NOTES
- --------------------------

The following is a summary of the Company's outstanding unsecured fixed
rate senior notes:



December 31,
1998 1997


Unsecured Fixed Rate
Senior Notes (1) $517,383 $317,554
Pass-Through Asset
Trust Securities (2) 74,771 74,700
-------- --------
$592,154 $392,254
======== ========


(1) Two of the senior notes were issued at a discount. The unamortized
discount aggregated $0.3 million and $0.2 million at December 31, 1998
and 1997, respectively. The effective interest rates of these notes
range from 6.65% to 7.67% per annum.
(2) In March 1997, the Company issued, through a grantor trust, $75 million
of Pass-Through Asset Trust Securities (PATS), due March 2002, at a
discount to 99.53%. These certificates are secured by fifteen year
notes maturing March 2012, issued by the Company to the trust. The
trust sold an option which enables the option holder to re-market the
notes upon maturity ("Notes") of the certificates in March 2002.
Simultaneously with the sale of the certificates, the trust purchased
the notes from the Company for a premium in the amount of the option
payment. This premium, $1.3 and $1.4 million at December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively, is being amortized over the fifteen year life of
the Notes and is included in other liabilities. If the option holder
does not elect to re-market the Notes, then they become due and payable
in March 2002.Interest is paid semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and
September 15. These notes have a coupon interest rate of 7.13% per
annum.

The above fixed rate senior notes have maturities ranging from May 2000
to July 2018. Interest rates ranged from approximately 6.58% to 7.625%
averaging 7.2% at December 31, 1998 and 1997. These Notes may not be
redeemed by the Company prior to maturity and will not be subject to
any sinking fund. The Fixed Rate Senior Notes were issued pursuant to
an indenture dated May 1, 1994 which contains certain covenants
including limitation on incurrence of debt, maintenance of unencumbered
real estate assets and debt service coverage. Interest is paid
semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15.

10. SUBORDINATED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
- ---------------------------------------

In August 1994, the Company issued, through an underwritten offering,
$60 million of unsecured subordinated convertible debentures
("Debentures") which mature on August 15, 1999. The Debentures bear
interest at 7% per annum. Interest is paid semi-annually in arrears on
February 15 and August 15. The Debentures were issued pursuant to an
indenture dated May 1, 1994. The Debentures are non-callable by the
Company and are convertible at any time prior to maturity into common
shares at a conversion price of $16.6875 per share, subject to
adjustment under certain conditions. The Debentures are unsecured and
subordinate to present and future senior indebtedness, as defined in
the indenture.
Debentures in the principal amount of $6.8 million and $13.1 million
were converted into approximately 0.4 million and 0.8 million common
shares, during 1998 and 1997, respectively. In accordance with the
indenture, the related accrued but unpaid interest was forfeited by the
holders. In addition, upon conversion of the debentures, approximately
$0.1 and $0.2 million of unamortized debenture issue costs were charged
to additional paid-in-capital during 1998 and 1997, respectively.

11. MORTGAGES PAYABLE AND SCHEDULED PRINCIPAL REPAYMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------

At December 31, 1998, mortgages payable, collateralized by real estate
with a net book value of approximately $384.2 million and related
tenants leases, are generally due in monthly installments of principal
and/or interest and mature at various dates through 2027. Interest
rates ranged from approximately 3.7% to 10.875% (averaging 8.3% and
8.6% at December 31, 1998 and 1997). Variable rate debt obligations,
included in mortgages payable at December 31, 1998 and 1997, totaled
approximately $32.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Interest
rates on the variable rate debt averaging 6.3% and 5.3% at December 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively.
As of December 31, 1998, the scheduled principal payments of
mortgages payable, Fixed Rate Senior Notes, Revolving Credit Facilities
and Debentures for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:



YEAR AMOUNT
-----------------------------


1999 $ 81,107
2000 135,180
2001 232,543
2002 116,858
2003 37,070
Thereafter 397,723
-----------------------------

$1,000,481
-----------------------------




F-17
70
Principal payments in the year 2001 include $132 million associated
with the maturing of the Revolving Credit Facilities.
Principal payments in the year 2002 assume that the PATS option
holder (Note 9) will not exercise the option to re-market the Notes and
the trust will therefore put the Notes to the Company to finance the
reacquisition of the PATS at maturity.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
- -------------------------

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating fair value disclosures of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accruals and
other liabilities:

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for these financial
instruments approximated fair value because of their short maturities.
The carrying amount of straight-line rents receivable does not
materially differ from their fair market value.

Notes receivable and advances to affiliates:

The fair value is estimated by discounting the current rates at which
similar loans would be made. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the
carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate fair value.

Debt:

The carrying amounts of the Company's borrowings under its Revolving
Credit Facilities approximate fair value because such borrowings are at
variable rates. The fair value of the fixed rate senior notes was based
on borrowings with a similar remaining maturity based on the Company's
estimated interest rate spread over the applicable treasury rate. Fair
value of the mortgages payable was estimated using a discounted cash
flow analysis, based on the Company's incremental borrowing rates for
similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining
maturities. Fair value of the Debentures was determined based on their
closing price as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, as reported by the New
York Stock Exchange.
Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values
of financial instruments. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein
are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize
on disposition of the financial instruments.
Financial instruments at December 31, 1998 and 1997, with carrying
values that are different than estimated fair values are summarized as
follows (in thousands):



1998 1997
Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value

Debentures $ 40,065 $ 41,167 $ 46,891 $ 52,049
Fixed Rate Senior Notes 592,154 568,624 392,254 400,862
Mortgages payable 236,262 247,009 89,676 93,943

See Note 3 for a description of the Company's funding commitment to its
minority equity investment. The Company intends to continuously monitor
and actively manage interest costs on its variable rate debt portfolio.
The Company may, from time to time, enter into interest rate hedge
agreements to manage interest costs and risks associated with changing
interest rates.

INTERESTS, OPERATING PARTNERSHIP MINORITY INTERESTS, PREFERRED SHARES AND
COMMON SHARES
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minority Equity Interests

In 1998, the Company acquired, in conjunction with the acquisition of
the Hermes Properties, through a subsidiary partnership, a majority
ownership interest in a shopping center and development parcels in
Utah. The minority partners' equity interest in this partnership is
$8.2 million at December 31, 1998. Minority equity interest expense
includes approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 31,
1998 related to the minority partner's share of net income.
In 1997, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary partnership, a
majority ownership interest in two adjacent shopping centers located in
North Olmsted, Ohio. At the date of acquisition the shopping centers
were valued at $56.7 million. The Company contributed cash and assumed
liabilities aggregating $40.4 million and the balance of $16.3 million
was retained by the seller as a minority equity interest. The minority
equity interest owners were entitled to a priority cash return of 6.5%
per annum on their partnership capital account balance, as defined in
the partnership agreement. The priority cash return during 1998 and
1997 aggregated approximately $0.2 million and $1.0 million,
respectively, and has been reflected as a charge to minority equity
interest in the consolidated statements of operations. In March 1998,
the Company acquired the minority equity interest for $16.3 million.

Preferred Operating Partnership Minority Interests

In December 1998, the Company completed a private placement of $35
million with AEW Targeted Securities Fund, L.P., an investment
partnership managed by AEW Capital Management, L.P. ("AEW"). This
private placement was a combination of preferred equity securities and
a warrant to purchase approximately 1.6 million common shares of the
Company at a price of $21-5/8 per share or 1.4 million Class D
cumulative redeemable preferred shares at a price of $25 per share. The
Company recorded $32.9 million as preferred operating partnership
interests and $2.1 million to additional paid in capital in respect of
the warrant. The proceeds from this private placement were used to
repay amounts outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facilities. The
preferred equity securities are structured as 8.5% cumulative
redeemable preferred units ("Preferred Units") of DDRC Great Northern
L.P., a wholly owned, consolidated partnership. The Preferred Units are
redeemable without restriction by AEW, for cash or common shares at the
option of the Company, and redeemable after five years by DDRC Great
Northern L.P. for cash or common shares at AEW's option. In addition,
if the warrant is exercised, the Company has the right to redeem the
Preferred Units for cash or common shares at its option. Generally, the
warrant has a perpetual term, but will expire upon redemption of the
Preferred Units. During 1998, the Company reflected $0.2 million as a
charge to operating partnership minority interest in the consolidated
statements of operations relating to the accrued return associated with
the Preferred Units at December 31, 1998.

Operating Partnership Minority Interests

At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company had 4,581,104 and 17,894 OP
Units outstanding, respectively. During 1998 and 1997 the Company
acquired, through subsidiary partnerships, a majority ownership
interest in several shopping centers. In conjunction with these
acquisitions, the Company issued 4,563,210 and 17,894 OP Units which
are exchangeable, under certain circumstances and at the option of the
Company into an equivalent number of the Company's common shares or for
the equivalent amount of cash. In connection with the Company's
purchase of certain shopping centers during 1998 and the related
issuance of approximately 3.6 million of the above mentioned OP Units,
the Company provided a guarantee of the value of the OP Units, which
includes the aggregate value derived from both the value of the OP
Units and the distributions received pursuant to the terms of the
OP Units. As of July 1, 2000, if required, the guarantee amount is
payable in the form of additional OP Units. The purchase was recorded
at the estimated fair value of the guaranteed amounts. Contingently
issuable OP Units are included in weighted average shares outstanding
for purposes of determining diluted earnings per share.
The OP Unit holders are entitled to receive distributions, per OP
Unit, equal to the per share distributions on the Company's common
shares. During 1998 and 1997, the unit holders have received or are
entitled to receive distributions aggregating $2.9 million and $.01
million, respectively, which has been reflected as a charge to minority

Common Shares

The Board of Directors of the Company approved a two-for-one stock
split to shareholders of record on July 27, 1998. On August 3, 1998,
each such shareholder received one share of common


F-19
72

stock for each share of common stock held. This stock split was
effected in the form of a stock dividend. Accordingly, $2.9 million was
transferred from additional paid in capital to common stock,
representing the stated value of additional shares issued.
Common share issuances over the three year period ended December 31,
1998 are as follows:



Issuance Number of Price Per Net Proceeds
Date Shares Share (in millions)
----------------------------------------------------------


March 1996 5,223,000 $14.475 $ 75.4
January 1997 6,700,000 $18.3125 115.8
June 1997 2,600,000 $19.0725 49.4

December 1998 3,000,000 $18.5625 52.6


The aggregate net proceeds of $348.5 million from the above offerings
were primarily used to repay amounts outstanding on Unsecured Revolving
Credit Facilities and for general corporate purposes.

14. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
- -------------------------------------

In September 1998, the Company sold two properties to a principal of
one of the Company's joint venture partners. These properties
aggregated approximately 33,000 square feet and were sold for
approximately $4.4 million.
In June 1998, the Company acquired, from a partnership owned by the
Company's Chairman Emeritus and an officer of the Company,
approximately 18 acres of land, adjacent to a shopping center owned
through one of the Company's joint ventures, at a purchase price of
approximately $4.4 million.
In February 1998, the Company acquired a shopping center located in
Idaho Falls, Idaho from a limited partnership in which the Company's
Chairman Emeritus, the Chairman of the Board, and the Vice-Chairman of
the Board owned, in the aggregate, through a separate partnership, a 1%
general partnership interest. The shopping center aggregates
approximately 0.2 million square feet of Company GLA. The initial
purchase price of the property was approximately $6.5 million. In
accordance with the purchase agreement, the Company paid an additional
$0.6 million upon the leasing of vacant space in the center in January
1999.
In addition in 1998, the Company paid to a partnership owned by the
Chairman Emeritus approximately $0.1 million for leasing/sales
commissions associated with leasing or sale of certain shopping center
outlots. Also, the Company paid approximately $0.7 million in 1998 to a
company owned by the brother-in-law of The Chairman of the Board
relating to fees and commissions on the acquisition of several shopping
centers in 1998.
The Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company
received 100,000 stock options in his role as Chairman of AIP's Board
of Trustees. All benefits associated with these options were assigned
to the Company.
In conjunction with the establishment of DDR's equity investment in
certain entities, the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer owns voting stock in these entities in order to meet
certain REIT qualification requirements.
During 1998, the Company periodically advanced funds to the Chairman
of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in amounts up to $0.4 million.
The advances, which were made to reduce the outstanding principal
balance of, and to prevent the sale of common shares from, a margin
account loan, were outstanding for periods ranging from five days to
one month with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 0.85%.
In 1998, the eleven members of the Company's executive committee,
either through the exercise of previously granted stock options or
through the direct purchase of unissued shares had acquired 974,663 of
the Company's common shares. The purchase of such shares was financed
by a five-year personal loan program aggregating approximately $15
million (at market interest rates) arranged by First Chicago/Bank One.
These loans are guaranteed by the Company. The individuals
participating in the program are responsible for repayment of these
personal loans and have fully indemnified the Company should the
Company's guarantee be called upon.
The Company entered into a lease for office space owned by one of its
principal partners/shareholders. General and administrative rental
expense associated with this office space aggregated $0.7 million, $0.6
million, and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997
and 1996, respectively. The increase in rental expense was primarily
related to the leasing of additional space to accommodate the Company's
growth.
The Company continues to have management agreements with various
partnerships and performs certain administrative functions on behalf of
entities owned in part by a related party, in which


F-20
73
management fee and leasing fee income of $0.2 million was earned in
1998 and $0.1 million in 1997 and 1996. Transactions with the Company's
equity affiliates have been described in Notes 2 and 3.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

tenants pursuant to agreements which provide for terms ranging
generally from one to 30 years and, in some cases, for annual rentals
which are subject to upward adjustments based on operating expense
levels, sales volume, or contractual increases as defined in the lease
agreements.

centers, the Company has entered into agreements for the construction
of the shopping centers and acquisition of land aggregating
approximately $13.0 million as of December 31, 1998.
In connection with certain shopping center acquisitions, the Company
provided the related sellers with a right to lease vacant space to
tenants, acceptable to the Company, for additional consideration. At
December 31, 1998 there were rights to purchase additional units at
three shopping centers for an estimated $8 million.
As discussed in Note 2, the Company has entered into several joint
ventures with various third party developers. In conjunction with the
joint venture agreements, the Company has agreed to fund the required
equity capital associated with approved development projects. The
Company is entitled to receive a priority return on equity capital
advances at a minimum rate of 10.5%
As discussed in Notes 13 and 14, the Company has provided certain

17. BENEFIT PLANS
- -----------------

Stock Option and Other Equity Based Plans

Effective January 31, 1993, the Company established an incentive and
non-qualified stock option plan under which 4,113,806 of the Company's
common shares at December 31, 1998 were reserved for issuance to
eligible employees. Options may be granted at per share prices not less
than fair


F-21
74


market value at the date of grant, and in the case of incentive
options, must be exercisable within ten years thereof (or, with respect
to options granted to certain shareholders, within five years thereof).
Options granted under the plan generally become exercisable on the year
after the date of grant as to one third of the optioned shares, with
the remaining options being exercisable over the following two-year
period.
In 1997, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 900,000
stock options to the Company's Chief Executive Officer which vested
upon issuance of the options granted, 700,000 options were issued
outside of a qualified plan.
In addition to the stock option plan described above, the Company
granted options for a total of 950,000 shares to its directors and
certain officers who are not employees of the Company. Such options
were granted at the fair market value on the date of grant. Options
with respect to 150,000 shares were exercisable one year from the date
of grant, and options with respect to the remaining 800,000 shares
become exercisable one year after the date of grant as to one third of
the 800,000 shares with the remaining options being exercisable over
the following two-year period.
The following table reflects the stock option activity described
above (in thousands):

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4,421 8.1 $17.32 2,848 $16.36


As of December 31,1998, 1997 and 1996, 2,848, 3,097 and 1,617 options
(in thousands), respectively were exercisable. The weighted average
exercise prices of these exercisable options were $16.36, $15.03 and
$12.75 at December, 31,1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
During 1998, the Company's executive committee purchased
approximately 0.9 million of the shares exercised (See Note 14).
In April 1996 and May 1998, the shareholders approved equity-based
award plans ("Award Plan") which provide for the grant, to employees of
the Company, of options to purchase commons shares of the Company,
rights to receive the appreciation in value of common shares, award of
common shares subject to restrictions on transfer, awards of common
share issuable in the future upon satisfaction of certain conditions,
rights to purchase common share and other awards based on common
shares. Under the terms of the Award Plans, awards may be granted with
the respect to an aggregate of not more than 3,200,000 common shares.
In 1996, the Board of Directors approved a grant of 50,000 restricted
shares of common stock and 30,000 Participation Units to the Company's
Chief Executive Officer. The 50,000 shares of restricted stock vest in
equal annual amounts of 10,000 shares per year through the year 2000
and had a weighted average fair value at the date of grant of $15.3125,
which was equal to the market value of the Company's stock at that
date. The 30,000 Participation Units will be converted into common
shares, ranging from 30,000 common shares to 200,000 common shares at
the end of five years depending upon achievement of performance
objectives. The actual number of shares issued will be based upon the
average annual total shareholder return during the five year period.
The weighted average fair values of the performance units at the date
of grant for the 30,000 units granted in 1996 was $15.875, which was
equal to the Company's stock at that date. During 1998, 1997 and 1996
approximately $0.8 million, $1.3 million and $0.5 million,
respectively, was charged to expense



F-22
75
associated with awards under the equity based award plan relating to
restricted stock and participation units.
The Company applies APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, the Company does
not recognize compensation cost for stock options when the option
exercise price equals or exceeds the market value on the date of the
grant. The compensation cost which is required to be charged against
income for all of the above mentioned plans was $1.8 million, $5.8
million and $1.4 million for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Had
compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been
determined based on the fair values of the options granted at the grant
dates, consistent with the method set forth in the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation", the Company's net income and earnings per share would
have been as follows (dollars in thousands, except per share data):



1998 1997 1996
------------------------------

Net income applicable to As reported $57,969 $53,322 $35,342

Diluted earnings As reported $0.98 $1.03 $0.84
per share Pro forma $0.95 $0.91 $0.80


For purposes of the pro forma presentation, the fair value of each
option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
options pricing model using the following assumptions:

Expected volatility (range) 13.2%-19.1% 22.5%-31.7% 17.1%-24.4%


401(k) Plan

Effective July 1, 1994, the Company adopted a 401(k) defined
contribution plan covering substantially all of the officers and
employees of the Company which permits participants to defer up to a
maximum of 15% of their compensation. The Company will match 25% of the
employee's contribution up to a maximum of 6% of an employee's annual
compensation. The Company may also make additional discretionary
contributions. Employees' contributions are fully vested and the
Company's matching contributions vest 20% per year, including service
prior to the plan's effective date. Once an employee has been with the
Company five years, all matching contributions are fully vested. The
Company's contribution to the plan for the year ended December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996 were made by the issuance of Company stock with a
market value of $0.05 million, $0.04 million, and $0.03 million,
respectively. The 401(k) plan is fully funded at December 31, 1998.

Elective Deferred Compensation Plan

Effective October 15, 1994, the Company adopted a non-qualified
elective deferred compensation plan for certain key executives which
permits eligible employees to defer up to 25% of their compensation.
The Company will match 25% of an employee's contribution up to a
maximum of 6% of an employee's annual compensation, after deducting
contributions, if any, made in conjunction with the Company's 401(k)
plan. Through March 31, 1998 both the deferred and matching
contributions were made in Company performance units with the gains and
losses being related to the Company's quoted share price. In April
1998, the Company elected to amend the investment elections available
to employees such that the same investment elections, except for the
Company's common stock elections is permitted. Deferred compensation
charged to expense related to an employee contribution is fully vested
and the Company's matching contribution vests 20% per year, including
service prior to the plan's effective date. Once an employee has been
with the Company five years, all matching contributions are fully
vested. The Company's contribution, including plan earnings for the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $0.6 million, $.04
million and $.05 million, respectively. At December 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996, deferred compensation under this plan aggregated $0.5 million,
$0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The plan is fully funded
at December 31, 1998.

18. EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS PER SHARE
- ------------------------------------

Earnings Per Share (EPS) have been computed pursuant to the provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128. Further, as
discussed in Note 1, in 1998, the Company effected a stock split in the
form of a stock dividend in which each shareholder received one share
of common stock for each share of common stock held. All years
presented have been restated to reflect this stock split.

The following table provides a reconciliation of both income before
extraordinary item and the number of common shares used in the
computations of "basic" EPS, which utilized the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding without regard to dilutive potential

Options to purchase 4,420,981, 5,036,412 and 3,409,268 shares of
common stock were outstanding at December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively (Note 17), a portion of which has been reflected above
using the treasury stock method.
The weighted average contingently issuable OP Units which are
convertible into common shares aggregated 0.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 1998.
Restricted shares totaling 20,000, 30,000 and 40,000, respectively,
were unvested at December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 and consequently,
were not included in the computation of basic EPS for all years
presented (Note 17).
Performance Units issued in 1996, convertible into 30,000 to 200,000
common shares of the Company, were not included in the computation of
diluted EPS for all years presented because the effect was antidilutive
(Note 17).
Debentures, which are convertible into common shares of the Company
at a price of $16.6875, were not included in the computation of diluted
EPS for all years presented because the effect was antidilutive (Note
10).
The conversion of the Company's joint venture partners' interest in
the Merriam (dilutive in 1998), San Antonio, Community Center and DDRA
V joint ventures and a joint venture with two operating properties were
not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect was
antidilutive, for all years presented, where applicable (Note 2).
Significant estimates were utilized by the Company in the determination
of fair value for certain of the Company's joint ventures where the
joint venture partner has the right to convert its interest in the
partnership to common shares of the Company (Note 2). These estimates
were used to determine the number of common shares assumed to be issued
by the Company open a conversion, for purposes of determining dilution.
The conversion into common stock of the Minority Interests were not
included in the computation of diluted EPS in 1998 and 1997 because the
effect of assuming conversion was antidilutive (Note 13).
The redemption of the preferred units through the exercise of the
warrant into common shares was not included in the computation of
diluted EPS in 1998 because the effect was antidulutive (Note 13).

19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
- ---------------------

On January 15,1999, the Company purchased an additional 3,410,615
shares of AIP for approximately $51.8 million in conjunction with AIP's
acquisition of a portfolio of properties with an aggregate cost of
approximately $129 million. Following the purchase of these shares the
Company's stock ownership aggregated approximately 45.5% of AIP's
outstanding common stock. The Company funded its investment through the
use of borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit Facilities.
In January 1999, the Company repaid a mortgage of a 50% owned joint
venture partnership aggregating approximately $49.2. In return, the
joint venture entered into a corresponding mortgage note payable to the
Company with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%. In addition, the
Company received a loan origination fee for this transaction of $0.4
million. The Company anticipates that the joint venture will obtain a
permanent mortgage on the property in excess of $50 million during the
first half of 1999. The proceeds will be used to repay the mortgage
notes to the Company and any other advances made to the joint venture
