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 includes Developers
Diversified Realty Corporation, its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries
and its joint ventures.

     From January 1, 1997 to March 15, 2000, the Company has acquired 54
shopping center properties, including those owned through joint ventures, five
of which were acquired in 1999, 41 of which were acquired in 1998 and eight of
which were acquired in 1997. In February 2000, the Company sold one property.
The Company also contributed one property to a 50% joint venture and entered
into an agreement to sell 60% of its 50% joint venture interest in a joint
venture which owns 10 shopping centers.

     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 342 shopping centers and
business centers. The Company's portfolio as of March 15, 2000, not including
those properties owned through the Company's minority equity investment,
consisted of 184 shopping centers and one business center (including 44
properties which are owned through joint ventures) and approximately 119
undeveloped acres (of which approximately 9 acres are owned through joint
ventures) (the "Portfolio Properties"). From January 1, 1997 to March 15, 2000,
the Company has acquired 54 shopping centers, including those owned through
joint ventures, containing an aggregate of 11.1 million square feet of gross
leasable area ("GLA") owned by the Company for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $1.3 billion. During 1997, 1998 and 1999, the Company completed
expansions at 34 of its shopping centers.

     As of March 15, 2000, the Company was expanding three shopping centers and
expects to commence expansions at additional shopping centers in 2000. The
Company has also substantially completed the development of twelve shopping
centers since December 31, 1996, at an aggregate cost of approximately $525
million aggregating approximately 3.9 million square feet of GLA. As of March
15, 2000, the Company had fourteen shopping centers under development.

     The Company's shopping centers were approximately 95.7% leased as of
December 31, 1999. On December 31, 1999, the average annualized base rent per
square foot of Company-owned GLA of the shopping centers was $9.20.

     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, 1999, the Company owned and/or managed approximately
47.3 million total square feet of GLA, which included all of the Portfolio
Properties and 21 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;

          - 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, 1999, 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
0.48 to 1.0; and at March 15, 2000 this ratio was approximately 0.49 to 1.0. At
December 31, 1999, the Company's capitalization consisted of $1.2 billion of
debt (excluding the Company's proportionate share of joint venture mortgage debt
aggregating $466.6 million), $413.8 million of preferred stock and preferred
operating partnership units and $826.7 billion of market equity. (Market equity
is defined as common shares outstanding and operating partnership units
outstanding multiplied by the closing price of common shares on the New York
Stock Exchange at December 31, 1999 of $12.875.) At December 31, 1999, the
Company's total debt consisted of $751.0 million of fixed-rate debt and $401.1
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

     Through December 31, 1999, the Company purchased in open market
transactions 1,860,300 of its common shares, at prices ranging from $12.69 to
$14.00, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $25.8 million. For the
period January 1, 2000 through March 15, 2000, the Company initiated the
purchase of an additional 1,368,000 shares, at prices ranging from $11.61 to
$12.29, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $16.2 million. In
February and August 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
officers of the Company to implement and continue a common share repurchase
program in response to what the Company believed was a distinct undervaluation
of the Company's common shares in the public market. Under the terms authorized
by the Company's Board, as amended in November 1999, the Company may purchase in
the open market, subject to certain requirements, common shares of the Company,
up to a maximum value of $200 million. The Company may invest proceeds from the
sale of assets to purchase these shares. It is not the Company's intention to
increase the leverage on its balance sheet to implement this stock repurchase
program.

     Also in December 1999, one of the Company's joint ventures refinanced its
secured mortgage and entered into a ten year fixed rate mortgage for $21.3
million with interest at 8.46%. Additional proceeds from this refinancing of
approximately $6.4 million were used to repay a portion of a note payable to the
Company.

     During 1999, the Prudential/DDR Retail Value Fund ("Fund"), a joint venture
in which the Company effectively owns a 25% interest, agreed to acquire the
Company's 50% joint venture interests relating to the development of six
shopping centers. The Company was reimbursed by the Fund for approximately $74.3
million associated with development costs incurred on each of these projects.
The Company also obtained third party financing for three of these projects
aggregating approximately $77.1 million with rates ranging from LIBOR plus 175
to LIBOR plus 180. In addition, the Company transferred its interest in a
shopping center development in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis,
to a joint venture in which the Company retained a 25% interest and was
reimbursed $2.5 million relating to development costs previously incurred on
this project. The Company also sold certain land parcels adjacent to its
shopping center in Wilmington, North Carolina, Jacksonville, North Carolina and
Erie, Pennsylvania and a portion of a shopping center and residual land in
Pensacola, Florida and received aggregate proceeds of approximately $13.9
million.

     In September 1999, the Company completed a $75 million private placement of
0.3 million, 8.875% perpetual preferred "down-REIT" partnership units with an
institutional investor. The units may be exchanged, under certain circumstances,
for Class K, 8.875% cumulative preferred shares. The units may be exchangeable
into common shares if the Company fails to pay dividends for six consecutive
quarters. The net proceeds of approximately $73.1 million were effectively used
to repay approximately $25.8 million in mortgage indebtedness and $40.1 million
in convertible debentures which matured on August 15, 1999. The balance of these
proceeds was used to repay variable rate borrowings under the Company's
revolving credit facilities.

     In March 1999, the Company filed a $750 million shelf registration
statement with the SEC pursuant to which the Company may issue senior or
subordinated debt securities, common shares, preferred shares or warrants to
purchase common shares.

     In March 1999, the Company amended its revolving credit facility with
National City Bank to increase the available borrowings to $25 million from $20
million, to convert it to a secured facility and to extend the agreement through
November 2002. The credit facility is secured by certain partnership
investments. The Company also maintains the right to convert the credit facility
back to an unsecured credit facility and to reduce the credit facility amount to
$20 million.

     In January 1999, the Company repaid a third party mortgage of a 50% owned
joint venture partnership aggregating approximately $49.2 million. In return,
the joint venture entered into a corresponding mortgage note payable to the
Company bearing an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%. In addition, the Company
received a loan

                                        5
<PAGE>   6

origination fee for this transaction of $0.4 million. In March 1999, the joint
venture obtained a bridge loan and used the proceeds to repay the mortgage note
to the Company. In June 1999, the joint venture entered into a 10 year, fixed
rate mortgage for $55.5 million at 7.31%.

     During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company issued $2.7 million in
OP Units in conjunction with the purchase of certain expansion areas at two
recently acquired shopping centers and the purchase of joint venture interests.
These OP Units are, in certain circumstances and at the election of the Company,
exchangeable into approximately 139,000 common shares of the Company or for
cash.

  Property Acquisitions, Developments and Expansions

     During 1999, the Company and its joint ventures completed the acquisition
of, or investment in five shopping centers aggregating 0.9 million square feet
of Company owned GLA for an aggregate investment of approximately $79.7 million.

     In November 1999, the Company acquired, through a 50% owned joint venture,
the fourth phase of a shopping center in Phoenix, Arizona which aggregates
125,000 square feet. The total purchase price for the fourth phase of this
center aggregated approximately $15.6 million.

     In July 1999, the Company acquired Deer Valley Towne Center, a 198,000
square foot shopping center in Phoenix, Arizona, for an aggregate purchase price
of $25.8 million. The Company contributed this property in March 2000 to a 50%
owned joint venture with DRA Advisors.

     In July 1999, the Company purchased the remaining 50% interest of a 289,000
square foot shopping center located in Salisbury, Maryland which was developed
through one of the Company's joint ventures. The Company paid approximately $7.3
million for the remaining interest which was funded through the use of cash and
the issuance of approximately 47,000 Units.

     In April 1999, the Company acquired a 50% interest in a 206,000 square foot
shopping center in St. Louis, Missouri. The joint venture's aggregate purchase
price was $16.6 million and included the assumption of debt aggregating $13.0
million.

     In February 1999, the Company acquired Spring Creek Centre (Phase III), a
65,000 square foot shopping center located in Fayetteville, Arkansas, for an
aggregate purchase price of $6.2 million.

     In August 1998, the Company announced a strategic investment in AIP.
Through December 31, 1998, the Company acquired 5.9 million common shares of AIP
at an aggregate cost of $91.3 million. In January 1999, the Company acquired 3.4
million additional common shares of AIP for approximately $51.8 million. In
August 1999, the Company purchased an additional 0.4 million shares of AIP for
approximately $5.5 million. At December 31, 1999, the Company's ownership in AIP
approximated 46.1% of the total outstanding shares of AIP.

     In June 1999, DD Development Company, a Company in which DDR has an equity
ownership interest, acquired Prudential Real Estate Investors' ("PREI") limited
partnership interest in a joint venture, Hendon/DDR/ BP, LLC, which owned 15
sites formerly occupied by Best Products at a cost of approximately $29.7
million. As a result, the Company's aggregate investment in the joint venture
increased to approximately $36 million. Eleven of the sites are leased as of
December 31, 1999 and two were sold as of December 31, 1999. In addition, in
June 1999, Hendon/DDR/BP, LLC, entered into a $25 million mortgage, with a
financial institution secured by the leased sites. The net financing proceeds
were used to repay advances made by the Company to the joint venture.

  Expansions 1999

     During 1999, the Company, on a wholly-owned basis and through certain joint
ventures, completed fourteen expansion projects at an aggregate cost of $46.6
million. In addition, the Company is currently expanding/redeveloping three of
its shopping centers at an aggregate cost of $6.3 million. The Company is also
planning to commence expansion/redevelopment projects at five additional
shopping centers located in: North

Charleston, South Carolina; North Canton, Ohio; Maple Grove, Minnesota; Mount
Pleasant, South Carolina and Wilmington, North Carolina.

  Development (Wholly Owned) 1999

     During 1999, the Company completed construction at five shopping centers
located in Solon, Ohio; Erie, Pennsylvania; Toledo, Ohio; Ovideo, Florida and
Macedonia, Ohio. Phase II of both the Toledo, Ohio and Oviedo, Florida projects
are under construction and scheduled for completion in 2000. In addition, the
Company is developing projects located in Meridian, Idaho and Riverdale, Utah.

  Development (Joint Ventures) 1999

     During 1999, the Company through certain joint ventures completed
construction of three shopping centers located in Salem, New Hampshire;
Salisbury, Maryland and Plainville, Connecticut.

     During 1998 and 1999, the Company entered into joint venture development
agreements on an additional eight shopping center projects with leading regional
developers. These eight projects have a projected aggregate cost of
approximately $321.7 million. Several of these projects have commenced
development and are currently scheduled for completion in 2000. In addition to
the Salem, New Hampshire and Plainville, Connecticut developments completed, the
Company is currently financing projects located in Round Rock, Texas;
Hagerstown, Maryland; Deer Park, Illinois and Long Beach, California, through
the Prudential/DDR Retail Value Fund and also intends to finance its investment
in the Fenton, Missouri project through this fund.

     In 1999, the Company entered into a joint venture relating to a 642,000
square foot shopping center in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, the initial phase of
which is scheduled to be completed in March 2000 and is anchored by a Kohl's
(opened fourth quarter 1999) and Jo-Ann, ETC. The Company owns a 25% equity
interest.

     The Company, through its affiliate DDR OliverMcMillan, LP ("DDROM")
continued to pursue six urban entertainment and retail projects aggregating 1.2
million square feet of GLA at a projected cost of approximately $233 million.
The majority of the above projects are scheduled to commence construction in
1999 and 2000 with completion occurring between 2000 and 2002. The Company may
also pursue partnership relationships with institutional investors in
conjunction with the above projects.

  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, 1999 through
March 15, 2000 with regard to the Company's portfolio of tenants.

     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.

     Many investors believe e-commerce would seriously erode traditional retail
business, particularly big box commodity retailers. The Company believes these
fears are unfounded with the majority of the e-commerce sales occurring in the
travel and computer categories, which account for a small portion of the
Company's tenant base. In addition, the Company believes that the individual
consumer is primarily shopping in discount stores, the majority of the Company's
tenant base, rather than through e-commerce.

  EMPLOYEES

     As of March 15, 2000, the Company employed 251 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, 1999 the Portfolio Properties included 185 shopping centers
and one business center (44 of which are owned through joint ventures). The
shopping centers consist of 154 community shopping centers and power centers, 12
enclosed mini-malls and 19 neighborhood shopping centers. The Portfolio
Properties also include approximately 119 undeveloped acres primarily located
adjacent to certain of the shopping centers. The shopping centers aggregate
approximately 36.3 million square feet of Company-owned GLA (approximately 45.1
million square feet of total GLA) and are located in 37 states, principally in
the East and Midwest, with significant concentrations in Ohio, Florida,
Missouri, Michigan and South 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.

     Neighborhood and community shopping centers and power centers make up the
largest portion of the Company's portfolio, comprising 32.2 million (88.6%)
square feet of Company-owned GLA. Enclosed mini-malls account for 2.9 million
(8.1%) square feet of Company-owned GLA and neighborhood shopping centers
account for 1.2 million (3.3%) square feet of Company-owned GLA. On December 31,
1999, the average annualized base rent per square foot of Company-owned GLA of
the shopping centers, including those owned through joint ventures, was $9.20.

     The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 1999, information as to
anchor and/or national retail tenants which individually accounted for at least
1.0% of total annualized base rent of the properties, including those owned
though joint ventures:

     In addition, as of December 31, 1999 unless otherwise indicated, with
respect to the 185 shopping centers:

          - 49 of these properties were developed by DDG, 16 were developed by
            the Company and the balance were acquired by the Company;

          - 97 of these properties are anchored by a Wal-Mart, Kmart or Target
            store;

          - these properties range in size from 4,000 square feet to
            approximately 900,000 square feet of GLA (with 30 properties
            exceeding 400,000 square feet of GLA);

          - approximately 62.3% of the Company-owned GLA of these properties is
            leased to national chains, including subsidiaries, with
            approximately 26.3% of the Company-owned GLA leased to regional
            chains and approximately 7.1% of the Company-owned GLA leased to
            local tenants;

          - approximately 95.7% of the aggregate Company-owned GLA of these
            properties was leased as of December 31, 1999 (and, with respect to
            the properties owned by the Company at December 31, for each of the
            five years beginning with 1995, between 94.8% and 97.2% of aggregate
            Company-owned GLA of these properties was leased);

          - Three of these properties are currently being expanded by the
            Company, and the Company is pursuing the expansion of additional
            properties.

     The approximate number of record holders of the Company's common shares
(its only class of common equity) at March 15, 2000 was 452, and the approximate
number of beneficial owners of such shares was 18,500.

     In March 2000, the Company declared its 2000 first quarter dividend to
shareholders of record on March 22, 2000 of $.36 per share, a 2.9% increase over
the quarterly dividend rate of $.35 per share in 1998.

     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.

(1) As described in the consolidated financial statements, the Company acquired
    five properties in 1999 (two of which are owned through joint ventures), 41
    properties in 1998 (five of which are owned through joint ventures), eight
    properties in 1997 (one of which is owned through a joint venture), five
    properties in 1996 and 20 properties in 1995 (10 of which are owned through
    joint ventures).

(2) In 1999, the non-recurring charge related to severance costs and in 1998 and
    1995, 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 stock split for
    shareholders of record on July 27, 1998. 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

                                       30
<PAGE>   31

    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 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. Forward-looking statements include, without
limitation, statements related to acquisitions (including any related pro forma
financial information) and other business development activities, future capital
expenditures, financing sources and availability, the effects of environmental
and other regulations. Although the Company believes that the expectations
reflected in those 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. Readers should exercise caution in interpreting and relying on
forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company's
control and could materially affect the Company's actual results, performance or
achievements.

     Factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to, the following:

     - The Company is subject to general risks affecting the real estate
       industry, including the need to enter into new leases or renew leases on
       favorable terms to generate rental revenues;

     - The Company is subject to competition for tenants from other owners of
       retail properties, and its tenants are subject to competition from other
       retailers and methods of distribution. The Company is dependent upon the
       successful operations and financial condition of its tenants,
       particularly certain of its most prominent tenants, and could be
       adversely affected by the bankruptcy of those tenants;

     - The Company may fail to anticipate the effects on its properties of
       changes in consumer buying practices, including sales over the Internet,
       and the resulting retailing practices and space needs of its tenants;

     - E-commerce may affect the sales volume of the Company's tenants which may
       reduce the amount of percentage rental income;

     - The Company may fail to identify, acquire, construct or develop
       additional properties that do not produce a desired yield on invested
       capital, or may fail to effectively integrate acquisitions of properties
       or portfolios of properties;

     - Debt and equity financing may not be available, or may not be available
       on favorable terms, for the Company to continue to grow and operate its
       business;

     - The Company is subject to complex regulations related to its status as a
       real estate investment trust ("REIT") and would be adversely affected if
       it failed to qualify as a REIT;

                                       31
<PAGE>   32

     - The Company must make distributions to shareholders to continue to
       qualify as a REIT, and if the Company borrows funds to make distributions
       then those borrowings may not be available on favorable terms;

     - The Company could be adversely affected by changes in the local markets
       where its properties are located, as well as by adverse changes in
       national economic and market conditions;

     - The Company is subject to potential environmental liabilities;

     - The Company could be adversely affected by changes in government
       regulations, including changes in environmental, zoning, tax and other
       regulations; and

     - Changes in interest rates could adversely affect the market price for the
       Company's common shares, as well as its performance and cash flow.

COMPARISON OF 1999 TO 1998 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  Revenues from Operations

     Total revenues increased $35.8 million, or 15.7%, to $263.9 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $228.1 million in 1998. Base and
percentage rents for 1999 increased $22.9 million, or 13.4%, to $193.8 million
as compared to $170.9 million in 1998. Approximately $6.6 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, 1998), an increase of 5.8% over 1998 revenues
from Core Portfolio Properties. The 38 shopping centers acquired by the Company
in 1999 and 1998 contributed $28.1 million of additional revenue and the nine
shopping center developments contributed $4.6 million. These increases were
offset by a decrease of $16.4 million relating to the transfer of five business
centers to American Industrial Properties REIT ("AIP") in July 1998 and the
transfer of six properties to a joint venture in September 1998.

     At December 31, 1999, the aggregate occupancy rate of the Company's
shopping centers was 95.7% as compared to 96.5% at December 31, 1998. The
average annualized base rent per leased square foot, including those properties
owned through joint ventures, was $9.20 at December 31, 1999 as compared to
$8.99 at December 31, 1998. During 1999, same store sales, for those tenants
required to report sales (approximately 18.9 million square feet), increased
3.4% to $235 per square foot.

     The increase in recoveries from tenants of $4.7 million was directly
related to the increase in operating and maintenance expenses and real estate
taxes primarily associated with the 1999 and 1998 shopping center acquisitions
and developments. Recoveries were approximately 92.1% of operating and
maintenance expenses and real estate taxes in 1999 as compared to 92.5% in 1998.

     Management fee income increased by approximately $1.5 million, primarily
associated with twelve additional joint ventures formed in 1998 and 1999, and
interest income increased $1.3 million primarily associated with advances made
to certain joint ventures formed in 1998 and 1999. Other income generally
related to increases in (i) development fee income of approximately $2.3
million, (ii) lease termination fees of approximately $1.8 million and (iii)
other income, comprised of commissions, financing fees and other miscellaneous
revenue items, increased approximately $1.2 million.

  Expenses from Operations

     Rental operating and maintenance expenses for the year ended December 31,
1999 increased $4.6 million, or 22.8%, to $24.6 million as compared to $20.0
million in 1998. An increase of $3.0 million was attributable to the 47 shopping
centers acquired and developed in 1999 and 1998 and $3.1 million related to the
Core Portfolio Properties generally associated with increased snow removal costs
and other maintenance related costs. These increases were offset by a decrease
of $1.5 million relating to the transfer of five business center properties to
AIP in August 1998 and the transfer of six shopping center properties into a
joint venture in September 1998.

                                       32
<PAGE>   33

     Real estate taxes increased $0.7 million, or 2.8%, to $27.2 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $26.5 million in 1998. This increase
was primarily attributable to the growth related to the 47 shopping centers
acquired and developed in 1999 and 1998 which contributed $4.1 million of the
increase and an additional $0.4 million of the increase primarily related to
expansions associated with the Core Portfolio Properties. These increases were
offset by a decrease of $3.8 million relating to the transfer of five business
center properties to AIP in August 1998 and the transfer of six shopping center
properties into a joint venture in September 1998.

     General and administrative expenses increased $4.9 million, or 37.6%, to
$17.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $12.9 million
in 1998. Total general and administrative expenses were approximately 4.1% (3.9%
after excluding a $0.8 million severance charge, described below) and 3.8% of
total revenues, including revenues of joint ventures, for the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

     The increase in general and administrative expenses is attributable to the
growth of the Company primarily related to shopping center acquisitions,
expansions and developments (including those owned through joint ventures),
relocation of the Company's headquarters to a new office, additional consulting
costs, professional services, several new key executives and a severance charge.
The increase was offset by adjustments to certain variable rate executive
incentive compensation accruals of approximately $1.3 million. The Company
continues to maintain a conservative policy with regard to the expensing of all
internal leasing salaries, legal salaries and related expense associated with
the leasing and re-leasing of existing space.

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased $9.2 million, or 21.5%, to
$52.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $43.2 million
in 1998. The increase was primarily attributable to the growth related to the 47
shopping centers acquired and developed in 1999 and 1998 which contributed $10.4
million of the increase, an additional $2.4 million increase related to the
expansions and improvements associated with the Core Portfolio Properties and
approximately $0.4 million related to increased depreciation expense related to
personal property primarily associated with the relocation of the Company's
headquarters. These increases were offset by a decrease of $4.0 million relating
to the transfer of five business center properties to AIP in August 1998 and the
transfer of six shopping center properties into a joint venture in September
1998.

     Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, increased $10.8 million, or
18.9%, to $68.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to
$57.2 million in 1998. The overall increase in interest expense was primarily
related to the acquisition and development of shopping centers during 1999 and
1998. The weighted average debt outstanding and related weighted average
interest rate during 1999 was $1.1 billion and 7.2%, respectively, as compared
to $911.7 million and 7.4%, respectively, during 1998. Interest capitalized, in
connection with development and expansion projects, was $13.5 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $9.9 million in 1998.

  Other

     Equity in net income of joint ventures increased $7.7 million, or 60.0%, to
$20.6 million in 1999 as compared to $12.9 million in 1998. An increase of $6.9
million is primarily attributable to the joint ventures formed/acquired during
1998 and 1999 and the remaining $1.1 million increase is primarily due to the
Community Centers Joint Venture and Liberty Fair Joint Venture of $0.9 million
and $0.2 million, respectively. This increase in income of $6.9 million is
comprised of $2.8 million relating to the formation of a joint venture in
September 1998 with DRA Advisors whereby the Company contributed six wholly
owned shopping centers, $1.1 million from DD Development Company and $1.5
million through the formation of the Sansone management and development
companies. An additional $0.3 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. The Company's
joint venture in Merriam, Kansas contributed $0.4 million of additional income
and a joint venture in Leawood, Kansas contributed $0.7 million of additional
income. The remaining $0.1 million increase primarily relates to various other
joint ventures formed in 1998 to develop shopping center properties which were
in the lease-up phase in 1999.

     Equity in net income of minority equity investment increased $5.8 million,
to $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, as compared to $0.7
million for the same period in 1998. This increase related to the
                                       33
<PAGE>   34

Company's equity investment in AIP (NYSE: IND) which began in August 1998.
Initially, the Company owned approximately 16% of the outstanding shares of AIP
and as of December 31, 1999, the Company owned approximately 9.7 million shares
of AIP which approximates 46.1% of AIP's outstanding common shares.

     The expense relating to minority interests increased $8.5 million, to $11.8
million for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $3.3 million in
1998. An increase of $5.0 million relates to the Company's issuance of preferred
operating partnership minority units ("Units") in September 1999 and December
1998. These units may be exchanged, under certain circumstances, into preferred
and/or common shares of the Company. An increase of $3.6 million relates to the
Company's issuance of operating partnership units ("OP Units") as partial
consideration for shopping centers acquired in 1998 and 1999. This increase
related to the Company's purchase of 22 shopping centers in 1998 and 1999 and as
consideration, the related issuance of OP Units which are exchangeable, in
certain circumstances and at the option of the Company, into 4.7 million common
shares of the Company or for cash. This expense represents the income allocation
associated with the priority distributions associated with the minority equity
interests. These increases were offset by a $0.1 million net decrease related to
minority interests in shopping centers.

     The loss on disposition of real estate aggregating $1.7 million primarily
relates to the sale of a shopping center and residual land in Pensacola, Florida
aggregating a $2.2 million loss. The shopping center was sold to a major
retailer. In connection with this disposition, the Company developed a 17,000
square foot shopping center adjacent to the site sold. In addition, the Company
sold four properties at an aggregate gain of approximately $0.5 million which
offsets the previously described loss. Net proceeds received in conjunction with
the above sales aggregated $13.9 million.

     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 amended and restated $375 million revolving credit
facility.

  Net Income

     Net income increased $9.5 million to $87.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999 as compared to $77.9 million in 1998. 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 $25.5 million, resulting from new
leasing, re-tenanting and expansion of Core Portfolio Properties and the 47
shopping centers acquired and developed in 1999 and 1998. An additional increase
of $13.5 million related to equity in net income from joint ventures and
minority equity investment and an increase of $0.9 million relating to the 1998
extraordinary item. This increase was offset by increases in interest expense,
depreciation and amortization, minority interest expense and a loss on
disposition of real estate of $10.8 million, $9.2 million, $8.5 million and $1.9
million, respectively.

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 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 aggregate occupancy rate of the Company's
shopping centers was 96.5% as compared to 96.1% at December 31, 1997. The
average annualized base rent per leased square foot, including

                                       34
<PAGE>   35

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.

     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. 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 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
connection 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 or acquired during 1998
which aggregated approximately $3.2 million of income. Approximately $1.3
million related to four joint venture interests acquired from Continental 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 joint
ventures formed including Merriam, Nassau Pavilion, Retail Value Fund,
OliverMcMillan 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 AIP for the period July 30, 1998 to December 31,
1998. At December 31, 1998, the Company owned 5.9 million shares of AIP which
represented approximately 34.5% of AIP's outstanding common shares.

     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 OP Units as
partial consideration for 21 shopping centers acquired in 1998. These OP Units
are exchangeable, in certain circumstances and at the option of the Company,
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 facility.

  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 in net income from joint ventures and minority
equity investment. This increase was offset by increases in interest expense,
depreciation and amortization, minority interest 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.

                             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 (or losses) from sales of real estate, non-recurring charges and
extraordinary items, adjusted for certain non-cash items, principally real
property depreciation, equity income from its joint ventures and equity income
from its minority equity investment and adding the Company's proportionate share
of FFO from 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.

                                       36
<PAGE>   37

     In 1999, FFO increased $25.8 million, or 22.8%, to $138.8 million as
compared to $113.0 million in 1998 and $86.9 million in 1997. The increases in
each year were attributable to the continuing increases in revenues from Core
Portfolio Properties, acquisitions, developments and joint venture interests.

     The Company's calculation of FFO is as follows (in thousands):

     (a) Includes straight-line rental revenue of approximately $4.2 million,
         $3.1 million and $2.9 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
         Company's proportionate share of straight-line rental revenues was $2.1
         million, $1.5 million and $1.4 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
         respectively.

     (b) At December 31, 1999, the Company owned joint venture interests
         relating to 28 operating shopping center properties, a 25% interest in
         the Prudential Retail Value Fund and a 50% joint venture in a real
         estate management company. At December 31,1998, the Company owned joint
         venture interests relating to 26 operating shopping center properties,
         a 25% interest in the Prudential Retail Value Fund and a 50% joint
         venture interest in a real estate management company. At December 31,
         1997, the Company owned joint venture interests relating to 14
         operating shopping center properties.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company anticipates that cash flow from operating activities will
continue to provide adequate capital for all interest and principal payments on
outstanding indebtedness, 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, including the issuance of OP Units and joint venture capital, will
provide the necessary capital to achieve continued growth. Cash flow from
operating activities for 1999 increased to $152.7 million as compared to $137.5
million in 1998. The increase was attributable to the 47 shopping center
acquisitions and developments completed in 1999 and 1998, new leasing, expansion
and re-tenanting of the Core Portfolio Properties and the equity offerings
completed in 1999 and 1998.

                                       37
<PAGE>   38

     The Company satisfied its REIT requirement of distributing at least 95% of
ordinary taxable income with declared common and preferred share dividends of
$112.5 million in 1999 as compared to $95.1 million and $79.7 million in 1998
and 1997, respectively. Accordingly, federal income taxes were not incurred at
the corporate level. The Company's common share dividend payout ratio for the
year approximated 61.4% of its 1999 FFO as compared to 67.0% and 75.3% in 1998
and 1997, respectively.

     In December 1999, the REIT Modernization Act ("RMA") was passed by the
federal government. The RMA, which is effective in 2001, allows REITs to own a
taxable REIT subsidiary which can provide services to a REIT's tenants without
disqualifying the rents that a REIT receives from these tenants. In addition,
this act lowers the distribution requirements for a REIT from 95% to 90% of its
ordinary taxable income.

     An increase in the 2000 quarterly dividend per common share to $0.36 from
$0.35 was approved in March 2000 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, EXPANSIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS

     During the three year period ended December 31, 1999, the Company and its
joint ventures expended $2.1 billion, net, to acquire, develop, expand, improve
and re-tenant its properties as follows (in millions):

     In July 1999, the Company acquired Deer Valley Towne Center, a 198,000
square foot shopping center in Phoenix, Arizona, for an aggregate purchase price
of $25.8 million. The Company transferred this property in March 2000 to a 50%

     In August 1998, the Company announced a strategic investment in AIP.
Through December 31, 1998, the Company acquired 5.9 million common shares of AIP

  Development (Joint Ventures) 1999

     During 1999, the Company through certain joint ventures completed
construction of the following three shopping centers:

     - The Village Shoppes of Salem, a 170,278 square foot shopping center in
       Salem, New Hampshire, which is anchored by Best Buy, Linens N' Things,
       MVP Sports, CompUSA, Michael's and Big Party.

     During 1998 and 1999, the Company entered into joint venture development
agreements on an additional eight shopping center projects with leading regional
developers. These eight projects have a projected aggregate cost of
approximately $321.7 million. Several of these projects have commenced
development and are currently scheduled for completion in 2000. In addition to
the Salem, New Hampshire and Plainville, Connecticut developments discussed
above, the Company is currently financing projects located in Round Rock, Texas;
Hagerstown, Maryland; Deer Park, Illinois and Long Beach, California, through
the Prudential/DDR Retail Value Fund and also intends to finance its investment
in the Fenton, Missouri project through this fund.

     In 1999, the Company entered into a joint venture relating to a 642,000
square foot shopping center in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, the initial phase of
which is scheduled to be completed in March 2000 and is anchored by a Kohl's
(opened fourth quarter 1999) and Jo-Ann, ETC. The Company owns a 25% equity
interest.

     The Company, through its affiliate DDR OliverMcMillan, LP ("DDROM")
continued to pursue six urban entertainment and retail projects aggregating 1.2
million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA") at a projected cost of
approximately $233 million. The majority of the above projects are scheduled to
commence

                                       40
<PAGE>   41

construction in 1999 and 2000 with completion occurring between 2000 and 2002.
The Company may also pursue partnership relationships with institutional
investors in conjunction with the above projects.

  1998 Activity

     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 December 1998, the Company acquired a 50%
ownership interest in a 0.4 million 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 due from the joint venture partner of $5.7 million. 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
continues to manage the shopping centers and receive market fees for these
services.

     In 1998, the Company, in a joint release with AIP, announced the execution
of a definitive agreement providing for the strategic investment in AIP by the
Company. In July 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. As of December 31, 1998, the Company
had purchased 5.9 million of common shares for approximately $91.3 million.
Combined, the Company's acquired shares represented 34.5% of AIP's total
outstanding shares as of December 31, 1998.

     During 1998, the Company completed seven expansion projects at an aggregate
cost of $11.2 million. During 1998, the Company substantially completed the
construction of a 445,000 square foot shopping center in Merriam, Kansas which
was being developed through a joint venture formed in October 1996, 50% of which
is owned by the Company. The Company began construction at four shopping centers
including: (i) a 200,000 square foot second phase of the Company's Erie,
Pennsylvania center; (ii) a 280,000 square foot shopping center in Toledo, Ohio;
(iii) a 185,000 square foot shopping center in Solon, Ohio and (iv) a 220,000
square foot shopping center in Oviedo, Florida (a suburb of Orlando).

     In 1998, the Company entered into joint venture development agreements for
six additional projects with various developers throughout the country. In May
1998, the Company formed 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.

  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 DOTRS Joint Venture during 1997.

     During 1997, the Company and its joint ventures completed expansions and
redevelopments 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

                                       41
<PAGE>   42

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.

     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 Prudential/DDR Retail Value
Fund, a joint venture with Prudential Real Estate Investors.

                              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, OP Units and asset sales.
Total debt outstanding at December 31, 1999 was $1.2 billion as compared to $1.0
billion and $668.5 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. In 1999,
the Company increased total debt by $151.6 million primarily to fund
acquisitions, developments, expansions and other real estate investments.

     Through December 31, 1999, the Company purchased in open market
transactions 1,860,300 of its common shares, at prices ranging from $12.69 to
$14.00, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $25.8 million. For the
period January 1, 2000 through March 3, 2000, the Company initiated the purchase
of an additional 1,163,700 shares for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $13.7 million. In February and August 1999, the Company's Board of
Directors authorized the officers of the Company to implement and continue a
common share repurchase program in response to what the Company believed was a
distinct undervaluation of the Company's common shares in the public market.
Under the terms authorized by the Company's Board, as amended in November 1999,
the Company may purchase in the open market, subject to certain requirements,
common shares of the Company, up to a maximum value of $200 million. The Company
may invest proceeds from the sale of assets to purchase these shares. It is not
the Company's intention to increase the leverage on its balance sheet to
implement this stock repurchase program.

     Also in December 1999, one of the Company's joint ventures refinanced its
secured mortgage and entered into a ten year fixed rate mortgage for $21.3
million with interest at 8.46%. Additional proceeds from this refinancing of
approximately $6.4 million were used to repay a portion of a note payable to the
Company.

     During 1999, the Prudential/DDR Retail Value Fund ("Fund"), a joint venture
in which the Company effectively owns a 25% interest, agreed to acquire the
Company's 50% joint venture interests relating to the development of six
shopping centers. The Company was reimbursed by the Fund for approximately $74.3
million associated with development costs incurred on each of these projects.
The Company also obtained third party financing for three of these projects
aggregating approximately $77.1 million with rates ranging from LIBOR plus 175
to LIBOR plus 180. In addition, the Company transferred its interest in a
shopping center development in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis,
to a joint venture in which the Company retained a 25% interest and was
reimbursed $2.5 million relating to development costs previously incurred on
this project. The Company also sold certain land parcels adjacent to its
shopping center in Wilmington, North Carolina and received aggregate proceeds of
approximately $6.1 million.

     In September 1999, the Company completed a $75 million private placement of
0.3 million, 8.875% perpetual preferred "down-REIT" partnership units with an
institutional investor. The units may be exchanged, under certain circumstances,
for Class K, 8.875% cumulative preferred shares. The units may be exchangeable
into common shares if the Company fails to pay dividends for six consecutive
quarters. The net proceeds of approximately $73.1 million were effectively used
to repay approximately $25.8 million in mortgage indebtedness and $40.1 million
in convertible debentures which matured on August 15, 1999. The balance of these
proceeds was used to repay variable rate borrowings under the Company's
revolving credit facilities.

                                       42
<PAGE>   43

     In March 1999, the Company filed a $750 million shelf registration
statement with the SEC pursuant to which the Company may issue senior or
subordinated debt securities, common shares, preferred shares or warrants to
purchase common shares.

     In March 1999, the Company amended its revolving credit facility with
National City Bank to increase the available borrowings to $25 million from $20
million, to convert it to a secured facility and to extend the agreement through
November 2002. The credit facility is secured by certain partnership
investments. The Company also maintains the right to convert the credit facility
back to an unsecured credit facility and to reduce the credit facility amount to
$20 million.

     In January 1999, the Company repaid a third party mortgage of a 50% owned
joint venture partnership aggregating approximately $49.2 million. In return,
the joint venture entered into a corresponding mortgage note payable to the
Company bearing an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%. In addition, the Company
received a loan origination fee for this transaction of $0.4 million. In March
1999, the joint venture obtained a bridge loan and used the proceeds to repay
the mortgage note to the Company. In June 1999, the joint venture entered into a
10 year, fixed rate mortgage for $55.5 million at 7.31%.

     During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company issued $2.7 million in
OP Units in conjunction with the purchase of certain expansion areas at two
recently acquired shopping centers and the purchase of joint venture interests.
These OP Units are, in certain circumstances and at the election of the Company,
exchangeable into approximately 139,000 common shares of the Company or for
cash.

     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 $983.5 million during the three year
period ended December 31, is as follows (in millions):

     During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company also assumed mortgage
debt in conjunction with certain property acquisitions aggregating $18.0
million.

                                 CAPITALIZATION

     At December 31, 1999, the Company's capitalization consisted of $1.2
billion of debt (excluding the Company's proportionate share of joint venture
mortgage debt aggregating $466.6 million), $413.8 million of preferred stock and
preferred partnership units and $826.7 million of market equity (market equity
is defined as common shares outstanding and operating partnership units
outstanding multiplied by the closing price of the common shares on the New York
Stock Exchange at December 31, 1999 of $12.875) resulting in a debt to total
market capitalization ratio of .48 to 1.0 as compared to the ratios of .40 to
1.0 and .36 to 1.0 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. At December 31,
1999, the Company's total debt consisted of $751.0 million of fixed rate debt
and $401.1 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. As of December 31, 1999, the Company
had 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, 1999, the Company had $109.2
million available under its $400.0 million of revolving credit facilities. As of
December 31, 1999, the Company also had 118 operating properties with $201.4
million, or 72.5%, of the total revenue for the year ended December 31, 1999
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. 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. 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.

     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 and joint venture capital.
Accordingly, the cost of obtaining such protection agreements in relation to the
Company's access to capital markets will continue to be evaluated.

                              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 Company's shopping centers are typically anchored by one or more discount
department stores (Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target), off price department stores
(Kohl's, TJ Maxx/Marshalls), home improvement stores (Home Depot, Lowes) and
supermarkets 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 1999 and 1998, certain national and regional retailers have
experienced financial difficulties and several have filed for protection under
bankruptcy laws. Although the Company has a number of tenants filing for
protection under bankruptcy laws, the Company has not incurred any significant
financial losses through March 3, 2000 with regard to the Company's portfolio of
tenants.

YEAR 2000

     The Year 2000 issue ("Year 2000") resulted from computer programs being
written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. A
concern arose that if not corrected, computer programs having time-sensitive
hardware and software may have interpreted a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000. This situation could result in a system failure or
erroneous results.

     In 1999 and through March 3, 2000, the Company did not experience any
difficulties with either its information technology ("IT"), non-IT systems or
significant suppliers or vendors with the arrival of the Year 2000. The Company
expended approximately $94,000 in connection with upgrading building management,
mechanical and computer systems and believes that the Company's Year 2000
assessments are complete. The Company does not anticipate any further expense to
be incurred for Year 2000 remediation.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. At
December 31, 1999 and 1998, approximately 65.2% and 83.6%, respectively, of the
Company's debt (excluding joint venture debt) bore interest at fixed rates with
a weighted average maturity of approximately 7.3 years and 7.9 years,
respectively, and a weighted average interest rate of approximately 7.5% and
7.6%, respectively. The remainder of the Company's debt bears interest at
variable rates with a weighted average maturity of approximately 1.2 years and
2.3 years, respectively, and a weighted average interest rate of approximately
7.4% and 6.5%, respectively, at December 31, 1999 and 1998. As of December 31,
1999 and 1998, the Company's joint ventures' indebtedness aggregated $721.9
million and $601.6 million, respectively, of fixed rate debt, of which the
Company's proportionate share was $364.4 million and $310.0 million,
respectively, and $203.1 million and $117.2 million, respectively, of variable
rate debt, of which the Company's proportionate share was $102.2 million and
$59.6 million, respectively. 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, 1999 and 1998, the fair value of the Company's fixed rate
debt amounted to a liability of $729.0 million and $823.5 million, respectively
(excluding joint venture debt) compared to its carrying amount of $751.0 million
and $836.3 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company's proportionate
share of joint venture fixed rate debt was $353.3 million and $315.8 million,
respectively, compared to its carrying amount $364.4 million and $310 million,
respectively. The Company estimates that a 100 basis point decrease in market
interest rates at December 31, 1999 and 1998 would have changed the fair value
of the Company's fixed rate debt to a liability of $765.9 million and $866.1
million, respectively, and would have changed the fair value of the Company's
proportionate share of joint ventures fixed rate debt to a liability of $366.5
million and $319.7 million, respectively. The sensitivity to changes in interest
rate of the Company's fixed rate debt was determined utilizing a valuation model
based upon factors that measure the net present value of such obligations which
arise from the hypothetical estimate as discussed above.

     All other schedules are omitted because they are not applicable or the

     Financial statements of the Company's unconsolidated joint venture

share of the income from continuing operations is less than 20% of the
respective consolidated amount, and the investment in and advances to each joint
venture is less than 20% of consolidated total assets.

                       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 index
appearing under Item 14(a)(1) on page 46 present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Developers Diversified Realty Corporation
and its subsidiaries (the "Company") at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. In addition, in our opinion, the
financial statement schedules listed in the index appearing under Item 14(a)(2)
on page 46 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
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, 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, related real estate joint
ventures and its minority equity investment (the "Company" or "DDR"), 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 (Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target), off price department
stores (Kohl's, TJ Maxx/Marshall's), home improvement stores (Home Depot,
Lowes), supermarkets, book stores, office supply stores, electronic stores and
drug stores which usually offer day-to-day necessities. At December 31, 1999,
the Company owned shopping centers in 36 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 10.9%, 11.3% and 14.1% of total revenues for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

1999......................................................    7.6%      3.3%
1998......................................................    6.6%      4.7%
1997......................................................    8.8%      5.3%
</TABLE>

     The total percentage of Company owned gross leasable area ("GLA")
attributed to Wal-Mart and Kmart was 8.8% and 12.3%, respectively, at December
31, 1999. The Company's ten largest tenants comprised 22.6%, 24.4% and 27.3% of
total revenues for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
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 1999
and 1998, certain national and regional retailers experienced financial
difficulties and several filed for protection under bankruptcy laws. Although
the Company has experienced a number of tenants filing for protection under
bankruptcy laws, the Company has not incurred significant losses through March
3, 2000, with regard to the Company's portfolio of tenants.

  Principles of Consolidation

     All majority owned subsidiaries and affiliates 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 or 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. Other investments are accounted for using the cost method of
accounting.

  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.

     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:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
BUILDINGS                                               18 TO 31 YEARS

                                                 lease terms, where applicable
</TABLE>

     Depreciation expense was $52.4 million, $43.2 million and $32.3 million for
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, 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, 1999 was undeveloped real estate, generally outlots or expansion
pads adjacent to the shopping centers owned by the Company (excluding shopping
centers owned through joint ventures) which aggregated approximately 110 acres.

     Construction in progress includes shopping center developments and
significant expansions and re-developments. The Company capitalizes interest on
funds used for the construction, expansion or redevelopment 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, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company capitalized interest of
$13.5 million, $9.9 million, and $4.0 million, respectively. In addition, the
Company capitalized certain

                                       F-8
<PAGE>   61
                   DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED

construction administration costs of $2.5 million, $1.8 million and $1.3 million
in 1999, 1998 and 1997, 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 set forth in the applicable
lease. 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. Development fees are in other income and recognized when the related
services are performed and the earnings process is complete.

  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 at December 31, 1999 and 1998. At December
31, 1999 and 1998, straight-line rent receivables, net of a provision for
uncollectible amounts, aggregated $8.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

  Disposition of Real Estate

     Disposition 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.

  General and Administrative Expenses

     General and administrative expenses include internal leasing and legal
salaries and related expenses which are charged to operations 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. Interest paid during the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997 aggregated $79.4 million, $63.4 million and $36.2 million,
respectively.

  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 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 are less than their carrying value.

                   DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED

  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
contracts as adjustments to interest expense. At December 31, 1999 and 1998,
there were no interest rate swap contracts or other derivative instruments
outstanding. See Note 3 for a description of the Company's funding commitment
relating to its minority equity investment.

  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, 1999, 1998 and 1997, 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 $122
million, $110 million and $111 million at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

  Business Segment

     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
disclosure purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Further, all operations are within the United States and significant tenant
revenues have been previously disclosed.

  Comprehensive Income

     For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company had no
items of other comprehensive income requiring additional disclosure.

  New Accounting Standards

     In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
("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, 2001. (SFAS No. 137 deferred the effective date from December 31,
2000.) The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material impact
on the Company's financial position or cash flows.

     In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," which among other things provides
guidance on lessors' accounting for contingent rent. This bulletin clarifies
that contingent rental income should be recognized once the factors that trigger
payment actually

                                      F-10
<PAGE>   63
                   DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED

occur. The Company does not anticipate this bulletin to have a material impact
on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

  Treasury Stock

     In February and August 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized
the repurchase, subject to certain requirements, of up to $200 million of the
Company's common shares. The Company's repurchases are reflected as treasury
stock utilizing the cost method of accounting and are presented as a reduction
to consolidated shareholders' equity.

  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 common share for each share 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 1998 and 1997 financial
statements to conform to the 1999 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. ADVANCES TO AND INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES

     The Company's equity investments in joint ventures at December 31, 1999
consisted of the following:

     - A 25% interest in one joint venture which is developing a shopping center
       (1999);

     - A 95% economic interest in a management service subsidiary formed in 1998

       common stock. This entity owns a 25% joint venture

                   DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED

       interest in an opportunity fund formed in 1998 which has acquired a
       retail site in Long Beach, California (1998), which is being redeveloped,
       6 operating retail shopping centers in Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas
       City, Missouri (1999), a 75% joint venture interest which owns 13 retail
       sites formerly occupied by Best Products (1998), and 12.5% interest in a
       joint venture interest which is developing a shopping center (1998); 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.

     Combined condensed financial information of the Company's joint venture
investments is summarized as follows (in thousands):

     The Company has made advances to several partnerships in the form of notes
receivable which accrue interest at rates ranging from LIBOR plus 0.85% to fixed
rate loans of 12%. Maturity dates range from payment on demand to December 2008.
Notes aggregating approximately $20.2 million serve as collateral for a $22
million secured loan. In December 1999, one of the Company's joint ventures
refinanced its secured mortgage and entered into a ten year fixed rate mortgage
for $21.3 million with interest at 8.46%. Additional proceeds, aggregating $6.4
million, from this refinancing were used to partially repay a note payable to
the Company. Included in accounts receivable is approximately $1.4 million and
$0.8 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, due from affiliates
related to construction receivables.

     Advances to and investments in joint ventures include the following items
which represent the difference between the Company's investment and its
proportionate share of the joint ventures underlying net assets (in millions):

     In September 1999, the Company transferred its interest in a shopping
center under development in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis, to
a joint venture in which the Company retained a 25% ownership interest. The
Company effectively sold a 75% interest in this project and was reimbursed $2.5
million relating to development costs previously incurred on this project. See
also Transactions with Related Parties (Note 14).

     In April 1999, the Company acquired a 50% interest in a 206,000 square foot
shopping center in St. Louis, Missouri. The joint venture's aggregate purchase
price was $16.6 million. In November 1999, the Company acquired, through a 50%
owned joint venture, the fourth phase of a shopping center in Phoenix, Arizona
which aggregates 125,000 square feet. The total purchase price for the fourth
phase of this center aggregated approximately $15.6 million.

     In January 1999, the Company repaid a third party mortgage of a 50% owned
joint venture partnership aggregating approximately $49.2 million. The joint
venture entered into a corresponding mortgage note payable to the Company
bearing an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%. In addition, the Company received
a loan

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED

origination fee for this transaction of $0.4 million which is included in other
revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. In March 1999, the joint
venture obtained a bridge loan, which was converted into a permanent mortgage in
June 1999, and used the proceeds to repay the mortgage note to the Company.

     The Company's 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 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.

  Retail Value Fund

     In February 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with Prudential
Real Estate Investors and formed the Retail Value Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund
invests in retail development projects and 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 a 25.57% effective ownership
interest (which includes the Company's 82% share of a 1% general partner
interest which provides for a 33% profits interest once the limited partners
have received a 10% preferred return and return of capital). The Fund's general
partner has its own employees. The Company performs retail management
responsibilities including leasing, operating and maintenance, redevelopment and
accounting services and receives fees for these supervision services. The Fund
acquired a shopping center in Long Beach, CA in December 1998 which is being
redeveloped. In addition, the Fund acquired six operating retail shopping
centers in Kansas and Missouri in September 1999. In 1999, the Company entered
into separate agreements with the Fund to acquire the Company's 50% joint
venture interest relating to the development of six shopping centers. During
1999, the Company was reimbursed approximately $74.3 million, relating to
advances previously made to these joint ventures, associated with development
costs incurred on each of these projects.

  DD Development Company

     In June 1999, DD Development Company, a company in which DDR owns an equity
ownership interest, acquired the Fund's limited partnership interest in a joint
venture, Hendon/DDR/BP, LLC, which owned 15 sites formerly occupied by Best
Products at a cost of approximately $29.7 million. As a result, the Company's
aggregate investment in this joint venture increased to approximately $36
million. Eleven of the sites were leased as of December 31, 1999 and two were
sold as of December 31, 1999. In addition, in June 1999, Hendon/DDR/ BP, LLC
entered into a $25 million mortgage with a financial institution secured by the
leased sites. The net financing proceeds were used to repay advances made by the
Company to the joint venture.

  Continental Real Estate

     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 $114.1
million, of which the Company's proportionate share was $54.7 million and $76.2
million, respectively. The Company paid

approximately $19.1 million in cash and issued $2.3 million of OP Units. The
Company manages these shopping centers pursuant to a management agreement.

  OliverMcMillan

     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, 1999, DDROM had six projects in various
stages 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 together with two executives
from the joint venture partner. The majority of the projects are scheduled for
completion between 2000 and 2002.

  Sansone Group

     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, Missouri area. The Company is entitled to a
cumulative annual preferred return of the first $1.0 million in net operating
income up to the first $5 million. In addition, the Company acquired a 50%
interest in the Sansone Group Development Company.

  DDRA Community Centers V

     On September 10, 1998, the Company contributed six existing shopping center
properties valued at approximately $238 million to a joint venture 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 transfer of the properties, the Company did not recognize a gain.
In accordance with the joint venture agreement, the Company will continue to
manage the properties and receive management fees.

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 initially 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 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
to these positions.

     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. 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. In August 1999, the Company
acquired 354,839 common shares of AIP at a price of $15.50 per share. At
December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company owned 9,656,650 and

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED

5,891,196 common shares, in AIP, respectively, representing approximately 46.1%
and 34.5%, respectively, 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 $28.6
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.
AIP's share price closed on the NYSE at $12.375 per share on December 31, 1999
resulting in an aggregate market investment of approximately $119.5 million.

     Pursuant to the agreement, AIP may as of March 3, 2000, 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 $166.6 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 the option approximates fair value.

     Summarized financial information, as reflected on the accounts of AIP, as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the
period July 30, 1998 to December 31, 1998 is as follows (in thousands):

    respectively, paid to the Company on advances made at an interest rate of
    10.25%.

     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
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 in DDR's allocation of purchase price associated with its investment
in AIP as discussed above.

4. ACQUISITIONS AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     During the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company
completed the acquisition of 45 shopping centers, excluding those acquired
through joint ventures as discussed in Note 2 (3 in 1999, 35 in 1998 and 7 in
1997), at a total purchase price of $1.0 billion. These acquisitions were
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Significant acquisitions
were as follows:

     In 1998, in a single transaction with Continental Real Estate Companies of
Columbus, Ohio, the Company completed the acquisition of 13 shopping centers,
four of which were acquired through joint ventures. The 13 shopping centers
total 2.2 million gross square feet of Company-owned retail space. The aggregate
cost of these centers was $222.3 million of which the Company's share was $184.4
million. The Company's net investment was initially funded through its revolving
credit facilities, cash and liabilities assumed of approximately $92.7 million,
mortgages assumed of approximately $82.9 million (including $54.7 million of
joint venture mortgage debt) and the issuance of OP Units valued at
approximately $8.8 million. In certain circumstances and at the option of the
Company, these units are exchangeable into 438,561 shares of the Company's
common stock.

     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
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, $194.2
million of cash and $11.2 million other liabilities assumed.

     In July 1998, the Company also acquired 13 shopping centers aggregating

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 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 consummated through December 31,
1999, including the joint venture formations and acquisitions (Note 2), as if
all such transactions had occurred on January 1, 1998 with regard to the 1998
and 1999 acquisitions and as if all such transactions relating to the 1997 and
1998 acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1997. Pro forma information is not
presented for the year ended December 31, 1999 as the shopping centers acquired
in 1999 were either under development or in the lease-up phase and, accordingly,
the related operating information for such centers does not exist or would not

shopping center adjacent to the site sold. In addition, the Company sold four
properties at an aggregate gain of approximately $0.5 million which offsets the
previously described loss within the consolidated statements of operations. Net
proceeds received in conjunction with the above sales aggregated $13.9 million.

</TABLE>

     The Company incurred deferred finance costs aggregating $0.2 million and
$2.9 million in 1999 and 1998, 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 $1.5 million, $1.5 million and
$1.4 million for the years ended December 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     During 1998, the Company wrote off $0.9 million (none in 1999 and 1997) of
unamortized deferred finance costs in conjunction with the amendment and
restructuring of its Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (Note 8) and the
repayment of certain secured indebtedness.

8. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES

     Since May 1995, the Company had maintained a $150 million unsecured
revolving credit facility from a syndicate of financial institutions for which
Bank One, NA serves as agent (the "Unsecured Credit Facility"). During 1998, the
Company amended and restructured 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. The Unsecured Credit Facility includes a competitive bid option for up to
50% of the facility amount. 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 prime rate or LIBOR plus a
specified spread (0.85% at December 31, 1999). 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 and development
of real estate, to provide working capital and for general corporate purposes.
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, total borrowings under this facility aggregated
$272.0 million and $132.0 million, respectively, with a weighted average
interest rate of 7.3% and 6.5%, 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 and reduce the interest rate by 15 basis points. In
March 1999, the Company amended this facility to increase the available
borrowings to $25 million, to convert it to a secured revolving credit facility
and to extend the agreement through November 2002. This credit facility is
secured by certain partnership investments. The

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED

Company maintains the right to reduce this facility to $20 million and to
convert the borrowings to an unsecured revolving credit facility. 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, 1999). 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, 1998, there were no borrowings outstanding
under this facility. At December 31, 1999, total borrowings under this facility
aggregated $18.8 million with a weighted average interest rate of 7.3%.

     Total fees paid by the Company on its revolving credit facilities in 1999,
1998 and 1997 aggregated approximately $0.6 million, $0.5 million and $0.3
million, respectively.

(1) Two of the senior notes were issued at a discount. The unamortized discount
    aggregated $0.2 million and $0.3 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
    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 certificates upon maturity 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, $1.2 and $1.3 million at December 31, 1999 and
    1998, 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 remarket the certificates, 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, 1999 and 1998). 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"). At
their maturity, the remaining balance of $40.0 million was repaid on August 15,
1999. The Debentures bore interest at 7% per annum and interest was paid semi-

annually. The Debentures were convertible at anytime prior to maturity into
common shares at a conversion price of $16.6875 per share.

     Debentures in the principal amount of $6.8 million were converted into
approximately 0.4 million common shares during 1998. In addition, upon
conversion of the debentures, approximately $0.1 of unamortized debenture issue
costs were charged to additional paid-in-capital during 1998 (none in 1999).

11. MORTGAGES PAYABLE AND SCHEDULED PRINCIPAL REPAYMENTS

     At December 31, 1999, mortgages payable, collateralized by certain notes
receivable, investments and real estate with a net book value of approximately
$566.6 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 5.25% to 9.75% (averaging 8.3% at
December 31, 1999 and 1998). Variable rate debt obligations, included in
mortgages payable at December 31, 1999 and 1998, totaled approximately $110.6
million and $32.2 million, respectively. Interest rates on the variable rate
debt averaged 7.3% and 6.3% at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

     As of December 31, 1999, the scheduled principal payments of Revolving
Credit Facilities, fixed rate senior notes and mortgages payable for the next
five years and thereafter are as follows:

     Principal payments in the year 2001 and 2002 include $272.0 million and
$18.8 million, respectively, 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 certificates and the
trust will therefore put the certificates 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, 1999 and 1998, the carrying amounts
reported in the balance sheet approximate fair value.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED

  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, as reported by their 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, 1999 and 1998, with carrying values
that are different than estimated fair values are summarized as follows (in
thousands):

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. The Company did not enter
into any such agreements during 1998 or 1999.

    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,
1999 and 1998. Minority equity interest expense includes approximately $0.1
million for the year ended December 31, 1999 and 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 a private investment partnership. 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
minority 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 of DDRC Great
Northern L.P., a wholly owned, consolidated partnership. The preferred units are
redeemable without restriction by the investment partnership, 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 the investment partnership's
option. 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.

     In September 1999, the Company completed through a consolidated partnership
a $75 million private placement of 0.3 million, 8.875% cumulative perpetual
preferred "down-REIT" preferred partnership units, together with the above
preferred units ("Preferred Units"), with an institutional investor. The units
may be exchanged, under certain circumstances, for Class K, 8.875% cumulative
preferred shares of the Company. The units may be exchangeable into common
shares if the Company fails to pay dividends for six consecutive quarters. The
net proceeds of approximately $73.1 million were effectively used to repay
approximately $25.8 million in mortgage indebtedness and $40.1 million in
Debentures which matured on August 15, 1999. The balance of the proceeds was
used to repay variable rate borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit
Facilities.

     The Company reflected $5.2 million and $0.2 million as a charge to
preferred operating partnership minority interest in the consolidated statements
of operations relating to the accrued return associated with these Preferred
Units at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

  Operating Partnership Minority Interests

     At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had 4,702,282 and 4,581,104 OP
Units outstanding, respectively. During 1999 and 1998 the Company acquired,
through subsidiary partnerships, a majority ownership interest in several
shopping centers. In conjunction with these acquisitions, the Company issued
139,276 and 4,563,210 OP Units in 1999 and 1998, respectively, 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 1999, at the option of the OP Unit holder, 18,098 of these OP Units
were exchanged and redeemed for cash by the Company. 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. During 1999, the
agreement was amended to provide for the settlement of the guarantee, if
applicable, in cash, at the option of the Company. The Company intends to settle
this guarantee in cash. The purchase of the related shopping center was recorded
at the estimated fair value of the guaranteed amounts. Through the date of the
amendment, contingently issuable OP Units are considered in weighted average
shares outstanding for purposes of determining diluted earnings per share (Note
18).

     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
1999, 1998 and 1997, the unit holders received distributions aggregating $6.5
million, $2.9 million and $.01 million, respectively, which has been reflected
as a charge to operating partnership minority interest in the consolidated
statements of operations.

  Preferred Shares

     In August and September 1998, the Company sold 2,160,000 depositary shares
of 8.68% Class D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at $25 per depositary
share. In July 1998, the Company sold 4,000,000 depositary shares of 8.375%
Class C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at $25 per depositary share. The
Class A, B, C and D depositary shares represent 1/10 of a share of their
respective preferred class of shares. The Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D
depositary shares are not redeemable by the Company prior to November 15, 2000,
December 26, 2000, July 7, 2003 and August 20, 2003, respectively, except in
certain circumstances relating to the preservation of the Company's status as a
REIT. The aggregate net proceeds from the sale of the Class C and Class D shares
in 1998 of approximately $148.3 million were used to retire variable rate
indebtedness.

     The Company's authorized preferred shares consist of the following:

     - 750,000 Class A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, without par value

     - 750,000 Class B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, without par value

  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 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, 1999
are as follows:

The aggregate net proceeds of $273.1 million from the above offerings were
primarily used to repay amounts outstanding on Revolving Credit Facilities and
for general corporate purposes.

  Stock Repurchase Program

     In February and August 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized
the Officers of the Company to implement a common share repurchase program in
response to what the Company believed was a distinct undervaluation of the
Company's common shares in the public market. At December 31, 1999, treasury
stock recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet consisted of
1,860,300 common shares at a cost of $25.8 million.

14. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

     In September 1999, the Company transferred its interest in a shopping
center under development in Coon Rapids, MN, a suburb of Minneapolis, to a joint
venture and simultaneously sold a 75% interest; the Company retained a 25%
interest. The remaining 75% interest is held by an entity owned in part by a
director of the Company. The Company was reimbursed $2.5 million by the joint
venture partner relating to development costs previously incurred on this
development. In addition, the Company received a development fee of
approximately $0.5 million in 1999 from the entity's joint venture partner.

     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
earnout of $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 $0.1 million and $0.7 million in 1999 and 1998,
respectively, 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 a 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 (described in Note 2 as entities in which the Company has a 95% and 81%
economic interest), the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer received voting shares. These entities were structured to meet certain
REIT qualification requirements.

     During 1999 and 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, and
to prevent the sale of common shares in the Company from a margin account loan,
were outstanding for periods ranging from five to forty days with an interest
rate of LIBOR plus 0.85%. In addition,

the Company has advanced approximately $0.2 million to certain officers of the
Company in connection with payroll taxes and relocation costs.

     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) from Bank One,
NA. These loans are guaranteed by the Company. Four of these executives have
subsequently resigned from the Company. The Company has agreed to maintain the
guarantee. 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, $0.7 million, and
$0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     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 management fee and leasing fee income
of $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million was earned in 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively. Transactions with the Company's equity affiliates have been
described in Notes 2 and 3.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is engaged in the operation of shopping centers which are
either owned or, with respect to certain shopping centers, operated under
long-term ground leases which expire at various dates through 2070, with renewal
options. Space in the shopping centers is leased to 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.

  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, 1999 were reserved for issuance to eligible employees.
Options may be granted at per share prices not less than fair 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 970,000 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 50,000 shares were
exercisable one year from the date of grant, and options with respect to the
remaining 920,000 shares become exercisable one year after the date of grant as
to one third of the 920,000 shares with the remaining options being exercisable
over the following two-year period.

</TABLE>

     As of December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, 3,589, 2,848 and 3,097 options (in
thousands), respectively were exercisable. The weighted average exercise prices
of these exercisable options were $16.69, $16.36 and $15.03 at December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997, 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 shares issuable in
the future upon satisfaction of certain conditions, rights to purchase common
shares 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 Performance Units to the Company's Chief
Executive Officer. In 1999, the Board of Directors approved a grant of 47,095
restricted shares of common stock to several executives of the Company. The
restricted stock granted in 1996 and 1999 vests in equal annual amounts through
the years 2000 and 2003, respectively, and had a weighted average fair value at
the date of a grant of $15.3125 and $13.8125, respectively, which was equal to
the market value of the Company's stock at the date of grant. The 30,000
Performance Units will be converted into common shares, ranging from 30,000
common shares to 200,000 common shares at the end of the five year period
(December 31, 2000) 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 ending December 31, 2000. During
1999, the Company reduced its accrual relating to the performance unit awards by
approximately $1.3 million. Expenses associated with restricted shares
aggregated by $0.3 million in 1999. During 1998 and 1997 approximately $0.8
million and $1.3 million, respectively, was charged to expense associated with
awards under the equity based award plan relating to restricted stock and
performance 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, $1.8 million and $5.8 million for 1999, 1998 and 1997,
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):

  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
contributions to the plan for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
were made by the issuance of Company stock with a market value of $0.06 million,
$0.05 million, and $0.04 million, respectively. The 401(k) plan is fully funded
at December 31, 1999.

  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 as well as the
gains and losses resulting from the fluctuation in the Company's quoted share
price. In April 1998, the Company elected to amend the investment elections
available to employees such that election of the Company's stock is no longer
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 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998
and 1997 was $0.02 million, $0.06 million and $0.04 million, respectively. For
the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, this contribution included earnings
attributable to the employees' accounts. At December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
deferred compensation under this plan aggregated $0.9 million, $0.5 million and
$0.3 million, respectively. The plan is fully funded at December 31, 1999.

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 of common shares outstanding
without regard to dilutive potential common shares, and "diluted" EPS, which
includes all such shares.

     Restricted shares totaling 47,676, 20,000 and 30,000, respectively, were

     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
1998 and 1997 because the effect was antidilutive (Note 17).

joint ventures were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the
effect was antidilutive, for all years presented, where applicable (Note 2)
except for the joint venture in Merriam, Kansas which was dilutive in 1998.
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 or cash, at the election of the Company (Note 2). These
estimates were used to determine the number of common shares assumed to be
issued by the Company upon conversion, for purposes of determining dilution, if
any. In 1999, the Company made the determination that they will settle these
conversions in cash.

     The exchange into common stock of the minority interests were not included
in the computation of diluted EPS in all years presented because the effect of
assuming conversion was antidilutive (Note 13).

     The redemption of the Preferred Units, including those exercisable through
the exercise of the warrant into common shares, was not included in the
computation of diluted EPS in 1999 and 1998 because the effect was antidilutive
or they were considered contingently issuable (Note 13).

     Dividends declared per share for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998
and 1997 are summarized as follows:

of its common shares on the open market for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $13.7 million. The purchase of these shares was made in accordance
with the Company's share repurchase program approved by the Company's Board of
Directors.

     In February 2000, the Company sold a shopping center in Stone Mountain,
Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, for approximately $1.8 million. The proceeds from
this sale were used to repay variable rate debt under the Company's revolving
credit facilities.

     In February 2000, the Company formed a joint venture with DRA Advisors,
Inc. whereby the Company contributed a wholly owned property in Phoenix, Arizona
valued at approximately $26.7 million and related mortgage debt of $18.0 million
and in exchange received a 50% equity ownership interest in the joint venture.
The cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $4.0 million were used to
repay variable rate debt under the Company's revolving credit facilities. The
Company will continue to manage and operate the center and receive fees for such
services.

     In February 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to sell 60% of its
50% joint venture interest in the Community Centers Joint Venture to DRA

all series or one or more series, as the case may be, may be embodied in and

direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to
be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series may, alternatively, be
embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders of Securities of such series
voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in
writing, at any meeting of Holders of Securities of such series duly called and
held in accordance with the provisions of Article Fifteen, or a combination of
such instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments
or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly
required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record
(and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes

or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or
of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a
Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and



                                       10
<PAGE>   20

conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee
or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of
any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in
Section 1506.

                  (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any
         such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness
         of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other
         officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying
         that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to
         him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting
         in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or
         affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The
         fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or
         the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in
         any other reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

                  (c) The ownership of Registered Securities shall be proved by
         the Security Register.

                  (d) The ownership of Bearer Securities may be proved by the
         production of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed, as
         depositary, by any trust company, bank, banker or other depositary,
         wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee
         to be satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such
         Person had on deposit with such depositary, or exhibited to it, the
         Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be proved by the
         certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities,
         if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be
         satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such
         ownership of any Bearer Security continues until (1) another
         certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the
         same Bearer Security is produced, or (2) such Bearer Security is
         produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (3) such Bearer
         Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (4)
         such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding. The ownership of Bearer
         Securities may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee
         deems sufficient.

                  (e) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of
         Registered Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction,
         notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option,
         in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for
         the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand,
         authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the
         Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA Section
         316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or
         pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier
         than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders
         generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such
         solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such
         request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
         other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the
         Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be
         deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of
         the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or
         agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction,
         notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the
         Outstanding



                                       11

         Securities shall be computed as of such record date; PROVIDED that no
         such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record
         date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective
         pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven
         months after the record date.

                  (f) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
         consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind
         every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every
         Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in
         exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done,
         omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Security Registrar,
         any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent or the Company in reliance
         thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such
         Security.

                  SECTION 105. NOTICES, ETC., TO TRUSTEE AND COMPANY. Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of
Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made
upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

                  (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be
         sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or
         filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office,
         Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or

                  (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be
         sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein
         expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first class postage
         prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal
         office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture or at any
         other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the
         Company.

                  SECTION 106. NOTICE TO HOLDERS; WAIVER. Where this Indenture
provides for notice of any event to Holders of Registered Securities by the
Company or the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless
otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class
postage prepaid, to each such Holder affected by such event, at his address as
it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not
earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any
case where notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither
the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any
particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to
other Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to
Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided herein. Any notice mailed to a
Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been
received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such
notice.

                  If by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular
mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give
such notice by mail, then such notification to Holders of Registered Securities
as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient
notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.

                  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise
specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, where this
Indenture provides for notice to Holders of



                                       12

Bearer Securities of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given if
published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York and in such other
city or cities as may be specified in such Securities on a Business Day, such
publication to be not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the
earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. Any such notice shall
be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published
more than once, on the date of the first such publication.

                  If by reason of the suspension of publication of any
Authorized Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it
shall be impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as
provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall
be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to
such Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither the failure
