NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Financial Statement Presentation

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated statements of income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.

      As described in Note 3, certain amounts have been reclassified as a result of the pending sale of our garden apartment communities. Accordingly, the Company now operates in one business segment – retail real estate.

Note 2: Accounting Change

      Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 133/138, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”). This accounting standard requires the Company to measure derivatives, including certain derivatives embedded in other contracts, at fair value and to recognize them in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as an asset or liability, depending on the Company’s rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of changes in fair value of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the current period.

      The Company uses only qualifying hedges that are designated specifically to reduce exposure to interest rate risk by locking in the expected future cash payments on certain liabilities. This is accomplished using an interest rate swap, which has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The Company’s derivative instrument consists of a two year interest rate swap agreement of $125 million, which effectively fixes the annual interest rate of the Company’s variable rate debt under the Company’s credit facilities at a base rate of 6.67% plus applicable spread.

      The adoption of SFAS 133 as of January 1, 2001 resulted in a cumulative transition adjustment of $2.2 million to OCI, and recorded a corresponding liability of the same amount. The Company expects to reclassify as a charge to earnings during the next twelve months of $2.2 million from the transition adjustment that was recorded in accumulated OCI.

      For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the critical terms of the interest rate swap and the variable rate debt were the same, so no ineffectiveness was recorded in the consolidated financial statements. All components of the interest rate swap were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The change in fair market value of the interest rate swap was $1.8 million and was recorded in OCI. As of June 30, 2001, the Company expects to reclassify $3.2 million of losses accumulated in OCI to earnings during the next twelve months.

      On May 17, 2001, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to sell its 53 garden apartment communities containing 12,550 units to a private investor group comprised of Houlihan-Parnes Realtors, LLC and C.L.K. Management Corp. Gross proceeds from the sale will be approximately $380 million, from which approximately $55 million will be used to satisfy existing mortgage indebtedness encumbering the garden apartment communities. Accordingly, the assets and operating results for the garden apartment communities were reclassified and reported as discontinued operations.

Note 7: Real Estate Held For Sale

      On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the real estate properties may be impaired. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property are less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property.

      When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. If, in management’s opinion, the net sales price of the assets which have been identified for sale is less than the net book value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established. For investments accounted for under the equity method, principally Investment in ERT, a loss is recognized if the loss in value of the investment is other than temporary.

      As of June 30, 2001, four single tenant properties and four retail properties were classified as “Real estate held for sale”. These properties are located in eight states and have an aggregate gross leasable area of 398,000 square feet. The estimated fair market value of three of the properties held for sale is less than their book value, resulting in an impairment loss of $1.1 million recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. These properties contributed $0.6 million in revenue and $0.4 million in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2001, and $1.3 million in revenue and $0.9 million in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Note 8: Environmental Matters

      Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, the Company may be considered an owner or operator of real property or may have arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances and, therefore, may become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances released on or in its property or disposed of by it, as well as certain other potential costs which could relate to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property). Such liability may be imposed whether or not the Company knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Except as discussed below, the Company is not aware of any significant environmental condition at any of its properties.

      Soil and groundwater contamination exists at certain of the Company’s properties. The primary contaminants of concern at these properties include perchloroethylene and trichloroethelyne (associated with the operations of on-site dry cleaners) and petroleum hydrocarbons (associated with the operations of on-site gasoline facilities). The Company currently estimates that the total remaining cost of remediation of environmental conditions for these properties will be in the range of approximately $1 million to $3 million, although there can be no assurance that this range of estimates will prove accurate. In connection with certain of these properties, the Company has entered into remediation and indemnity agreements, which obligate the prior owners of certain of the properties (including in some cases, principals of the prior owners) to perform the remediation and to indemnify the Company for any losses the Company may suffer because of the contamination or remediation. There can be no assurance that the remediation estimates of the Company will prove accurate or that the prior owners will perform their obligations under these agreements, although in certain cases funds have been set aside with respect to the performance under these agreements. In connection with certain other properties, the former tenants at the properties are in the process of performing the necessary remediation, although there can be no assurance that such remediation will be satisfactory. In connection with certain additional properties, the Company has assumed the obligation to perform the necessary remediation in connection with the Company’s purchase of the properties. In addition to the environmental conditions discussed above, asbestos minerals (associated with spray applied fireproofing materials) exist at certain of the Company’s properties. The Company currently estimates that the total cost of abatement of asbestos minerals at these properties would be approximately $3.2 million, although there can

11

Note 8: Environmental Matters, Continued

be no assurance that this estimate will prove accurate. The Company does not expect the environmental conditions at its properties, considered as a whole, to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Included in other liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2001 is $3.2 million related to the clean-up of certain asbestos minerals.

Note 9: Non-Recurring Charge

      In connection with the retirement of Arnold Laubich from his positions as President and Chief Executive Officer, the Company entered into a retirement agreement with Mr. Laubich. The non-recurring charge shown for the six months ended June 30, 2000 is primarily the lump sum payments provided for in the retirement agreement.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The following information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of June 30, 2001 included in this quarterly report and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievement of the Company to be materially different from the results of operations or plans expressed or implied from such forward-looking statements.

      Cash flow from operations has been the principal source of capital to fund the Company’s ongoing operations. The Company’s issuance of common and preferred stock, use of the Company’s revolving credit facilities and financing from uncollateralized notes and mortgage debt are additional sources of capital.

      In order to continue to expand and develop its portfolio of properties and other investments, the Company intends to finance future acquisitions and growth through the most advantageous sources of capital available to the Company at the time, which may include excess cash flow, the sale of common stock, preferred stock or debt securities through public offerings or private placements, the incurrence of additional indebtedness through borrowings, and the reinvestment of proceeds from the disposition of assets. The Company also may enter into joint ventures with institutions to acquire portfolios of properties. The Company’s financing strategy is to maintain a strong and flexible financial position by (i) maintaining a prudent level of leverage, (ii) maintaining a large pool of unencumbered properties, (iii) managing its exposure to interest rate risk represented by its floating rate debt and (iv) where possible, amortizing existing non-recourse mortgage debt secured by specific properties over the term of the leases with anchor tenants at such mortgaged properties.

      As of June 30, 2001, the Company had approximately $14 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

      The Company has two revolving credit facilities with The Bank of New York, each of which provides for $122.5 million in uncollateralized advances from a group of banks. One facility (“Facility #1”) expires in November 2001 with the right of extension to November 2002. The other facility (“Facility #2”) expires in November 2002. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had $59.3 million outstanding under Facility #1, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 72.5 basis points, and $117.5 million outstanding under Facility #2 which bears interest at LIBOR plus 67.5 basis points. The covenants under these credit facilities include maintaining certain ratios such as liabilities to assets of less than 50% and maintaining a minimum unencumbered assets coverage ratio of 2 to 1. In addition, the Company has a $100 million term loan facility with Fleet National Bank (“FNB”), of which $75 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2001. This facility is scheduled to mature on May 8, 2002, with the right of extension to November 2002. Loans drawn under this new facility will accrue interest at LIBOR plus 90 basis points (based on the Company’s current credit rating). The term loan agreement prepared in connection with the new FNB facility contains covenants substantially similar to those included in the two credit facilities of the Company with The Bank of New York. On October 11, 2000, the Company entered into a two-year swap agreement with Fleet National Bank relating to $125 million of the Company’s variable rate debt. The agreement effectively fixes the annual interest rate of this debt at a base rate of 6.67% plus applicable spreads associated with the Company’s variable rate credit facilities.

      In addition to outstanding amounts on the Company’s credit facilities, debt as of June 30, 2001 consisted of $314.2 million of mortgages payable having a weighted average interest rate of 7.6% and $613.1 million of notes payable with a weighted average interest rate of 7.3%. Of this debt, $50.7 million bears a variable interest rate. Additionally, the Company has $2 million in marketable equity securities which are sensitive to market price changes and notes receivable in the amount of Canadian $14.2 million (approximately U.S. $9.3 million as of June 30, 2001) which are sensitive to currency exchange rate fluctuations.

      The Company guarantees certain indebtedness of ERT, and the debt outstanding related to these guarantees as of June 30, 2001 was $51 million. ERT has third-party debt of $161.3 million, excluding notes payable to the Company, having a weighted average interest rate of 7.6%. The Company provides substantially all of the capital required to fund ERT’s operations.

13


      In November 1998, the Company filed a $1 billion shelf registration statement relating to the issuance from time to time of debt securities, preferred stock, depository shares, common stock, warrants and rights, in amounts, at initial prices and on terms to be determined at the time of offering. Under this shelf registration statement, the Company established a program for the issuance of medium-term notes due nine months or more from date of issue. As of June 30, 2001, an aggregate principal amount of $276 million was available for issuance under the Company’s medium-term notes program.

      In October 1999, the Company commenced a program to repurchase up to $75 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock from time to time through periodic open market transactions or through privately negotiated transactions. Through June 30, 2001, approximately 2,100,000 shares had been repurchased and retired at an average purchase price of $15.28 per share. Of this amount, approximately 119,000 shares were repurchased and retired in the six months ended June 30, 2001.

      In May 2001, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $125 million of the Company’s outstanding preferred stock and public debt.

      Other sources of funds are available to the Company. Based on management’s internal evaluation of the Company’s properties, many of which are free and clear of mortgages, the estimated value is considerably in excess of the outstanding mortgage indebtedness. Accordingly, management believes that potential exists for additional mortgage financing as well as unsecured borrowing capacity from banks and other lenders.

      The Company has three classes of preferred stock outstanding as of June 30, 2001: (i) 1,507,000 shares of 8 1/2% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding which have an annual distribution of $2.125 per share payable quarterly; (ii) 6,300,000 depositary shares outstanding, each representing 1/10 of a share of 8 5/8% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, with an annual distribution of $2.15625 per depositary share payable quarterly; and (iii) 1,500,000 depositary shares outstanding, each representing 1/10 of one share of 7.8% Series D Cumulative Voting Step-Up Premium Rate Preferred Stock, with a liquidation preference and annual distribution of $50 and $3.90 per depositary share, respectively.

      The current quarterly dividend on the Company’s common stock is $0.4125 per share. The maintenance of this dividend will be subject to various factors, including the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, the ability to pay dividends under applicable law and the effect which the payment of dividends may have from time to time on the maintenance by the Company of its status as a REIT. In addition, the Company must comply with the loan covenant requirements as described under the Company’s credit facilities.

      In the normal course of business, the Company also faces risks that are either non-financial or non-qualitative. Such risks principally include credit risks and legal risks and are not included in the aforementioned notes.

Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000

      The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the Consolidated Statements of Income contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes, including trends which might appear, should not be taken as indicative of future operations.

      On May 17, 2001, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to sell its 53 garden apartment communities containing 12,550 units to a private investor group comprised of Houlihan-Parnes Realtors, LLC and C.L.K. Management Corp. Gross proceeds from the sale will be approximately $380 million, from which approximately $55 million will be used to satisfy existing mortgage indebtedness encumbering the garden apartment communities. Accordingly, the assets and operating results for the garden apartment communities were reclassified and reported as discontinued operations.

      Revenues:

      Rental income decreased by approximately $1 million from $67.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $66.8 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of 19 retail properties between April 1, 2000 and June 30, 2001.

      Interest, dividend and other revenue decreased approximately $3.7 million from $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.7 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease was primarily due to a

14


decrease in interest income earned from ERT and the Company’s development projects. The decrease in interest income from ERT was due to a decrease in the interest rate being charged by the Company.

      The change in equity participation in ERT of $1.1 million, from a loss of $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to a loss of $2.9 million for the same period in 2001, was primarily the result of a decrease in interest expense of $2.1 million. The decrease was partially offset by a $0.2 million reduction in interest income and an impairment loss of $0.7 million. In addition, net income for two operating mall properties (the Mall at 163rd Street and Pointe Orlando) decreased $0.3 million, partially offset by net income of $0.1 million from the acquisition of two properties in October 2000 and an additional property in January 2001.

      The Mall at 163rd Street, a property owned by ERT, had a decrease in net income of $0.8 million primarily due to a decrease in rental and other revenues because of redevelopment activities.

      Pointe Orlando, a property owned by ERT, had a decrease in net loss of $0.5 million due to decreased legal costs which were partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense.

      Foreign currency gain increased approximately $0.6 million from a loss of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to a gain of $0.3 million for the same period in 2001. The foreign currency gain was due to the increase in value of the Canadian dollar.

      Expenses:

      Total expenses decreased $2.5 million from $62.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $60.3 million for the same period in 2001. The major areas of change are discussed below.

      Operating costs increased $0.7 million from $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $13.4 million for the same period in 2001. A higher utility cost of $0.5 million was the primary factor for the increase. In addition, repairs and maintenance and personnel costs increased $0.2 million. The increases were partially offset by a decrease in professional costs.

      Interest expense decreased $2.8 million from $22.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $19.8 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest rates and a decrease in the Company’s debt portfolio.

      Real estate taxes decreased $0.8 million from $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $8.6 million in for same period in 2001. Approximately $0.1 million of the decrease was due to property dispositions. The additional $0.7 million was due to a combination of decreases in tax rates and property assessments.

      The non-recurring charges in 2000 of $0.9 million represented payments made to certain officers in connection with their resignation or retirement from the Company and their respective retirement employment agreements.

      Provision for doubtful accounts increased $0.4 million from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $1.7 million for the same period in 2001. The increase was primarily due to a higher receivable balance at June 30, 2001.

Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000

      The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the Consolidated Statements of Income contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes, including trends which might appear, should not be taken as indicative of future operations.

15


      Revenues:

      Rental income decreased by approximately $3.7 million from $136.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $133 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of 19 retail properties between April 1, 2000 and June 30, 2001.

      Interest, dividend and other revenue decreased approximately $7.3 million from $14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $7.5 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest income earned from ERT and the Company’s development projects. The decrease in interest income from ERT was due to a decrease in the interest rate being charged by the Company.

      The change in equity participation in ERT of $5.0 million, from a loss of $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to a loss of $4.3 million for the same period in 2001, was primarily the result of a decrease in interest expense of $4.5 million, increases in the net income of $0.9 million for two operating mall properties (the Mall at 163rd Street and Pointe Orlando) and the acquisition of two properties in October 2000 and an additional property in January 2001. These increases were partially offset by an impairment loss of $0.7 million.

      The Mall at 163rd Street, a property owned by ERT, had a decrease in net income of $0.5 million. Rental and other revenue decreased $1.3 million because of redevelopment activities, partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses and bad debt expense.

      Pointe Orlando, a property owned by ERT, had a decrease in net loss of $1.0 million due primarily to a decrease in legal costs.

      Foreign currency loss decreased approximately $0.2 million from a loss of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to a loss of $0.1 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease in the foreign currency loss was due to the increase in value of the Canadian dollar.

      Expenses:

      Total expenses decreased $6.5 million from $127 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $120.5 million for the same period in 2001. The major areas of change are discussed below.

      Operating costs decreased $0.9 million from $27 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.1 million for the same period in 2001. Approximately $0.4 million of the decrease was due to lower contracted services and repair costs. In addition, a $0.2 million reduction was due to the sale of 19 retail properties between April 2000 and June 30, 2001.

      Interest expense decreased $3.6 million from $44.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $40.7 million for the same period in 2001. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest rates and a decrease in the Company’s debt portfolio.

      Real estate taxes decreased $1.2 million from $18.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $17.3 million for the same period in 2001. Approximately $0.3 million of the decrease was due to property dispositions. The additional $0.9 million was due to a combination of decreases in tax rates and property assessments.

      The non-recurring charges of $3.7 million in 2000 were primarily payments made to certain officers in connection with their resignation or retirement from the Company and their respective retirement employment agreements.

      Provision for doubtful accounts increased $1.8 million from $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.7 million for the same period in 2001. This was primarily due to the collection of amounts previously thought to be uncollectible for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The Company has also recorded an allowance of $0.9 million relating to a mortgage receivable in 2001.

16


Funds From Operations

      The Company calculates funds from operations (“FFO”) as net income attributable to common shareholders on a diluted basis before gain or loss on sales of real estate and securities, plus depreciation and amortization on real estate, amortized leasing commission costs and the minority interest share of income. Effective January 1, 2000, the Company adopted the NAREIT definition of Funds From Operations which requires the inclusion of both recurring and non-recurring results of operations. FFO is not a substitute for cash flows from operations or net income as defined by generally accepted accounting principles, and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other REITs. FFO is presented because industry analysts and the Company consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of performance of REITs.

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

      As of June 30, 2001, the Company had approximately $50.7 million of outstanding floating rate mortgages and notes payable. In addition, the Company had $251.8 million outstanding as of June 30, 2001 in connection with floating rate borrowings under credit facilities. The Company does not believe that the interest rate risk represented by its floating rate debt is material as of that date in relation to the approximately $1.2 billion of outstanding total debt of the Company, the approximately $2.9 billion of total assets of the Company and the approximately $2.8 billion market capitalization of the Company’s common stock as of that date.

      The Company was a party to one hedging agreement with respect to its floating rate debt as of June 30, 2001. On October 11, 2000, the Company entered into a two-year swap agreement with Fleet National Bank relating to $125 million of the Company’s variable rate debt. The agreement effectively fixes the annual interest rate of this debt at a base rate of 6.67% plus applicable spreads associated with the Company’s variable rate credit facilities. Hedging agreements enable the Company to convert floating rate liabilities into fixed rate liabilities. Hedging agreements expose the Company to the risk that the counterparties to such agreements may not perform, which could increase the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates. Generally, however, the counterparties to hedging agreements that the Company enters into are major financial institutions. The Company may borrow additional money with floating interest rates in the future. Increases in interest rates, or the loss of the benefits of existing hedging agreements or any hedging agreements that the Company may enter into in the future would increase the Company’s interest expense, which would adversely affect cash flow and the ability of the Company to service its debt. Future decreases in interest rates will increase the Company’s interest expense as compared to the floating rate debt underlying the Company’s hedging agreements and could result in the Company making payments to unwind such agreements.

      If market rates of interest on the Company’s variable rate debt increase by 10% (or approximately 60 basis points), the increase in interest expense on the Company’s variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.1 million. If market rates of interest increase by 10%, the fair value of the Company’s total outstanding debt would decrease by approximately $7.9 million. If market rates of interest on the Company’s variable rate debt decrease by 10% (or approximately 60 basis points), the decrease in interest expense on the Company’s variable rate debt would increase future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.1 million.

      As of June 30, 2001, the Company had notes receivable in the total amount of Canadian $14.2 million (approximately U.S. $9.3 million as of June 30, 2001). The Company does not believe that the foreign currency exchange risk associated with these loans is material. The Company had no other material exposure to market risk (including foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk) as of June 30, 2001.
