The Price REIT, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Price REIT,
Inc. as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements
of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1996. Our audits also included the financial
statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial
statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of The
Price REIT, Inc. at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

The Price REIT, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1996
1.Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
The Price REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation formed in 1991, is a self-
administered and self-managed real estate investment trust which is focused on
the acquisition, development, redevelopment and management of retail shopping
center properties.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Price REIT,
Inc.; Price/Texas, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary; Price/Baybrook, Ltd., a
limited partnership between The Price REIT, Inc. and Price/Texas, Inc.; and
Smithtown Venture Limited Liability Company ("Smithtown Venture"), an
approximate 80% owned joint venture (collectively referred to as the "Company").
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company acquired its ownership in Smithtown Venture in October 1996.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial
statement date and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it
is reasonably possible that actual results could differ from these estimates.
Rental Property and Depreciation
Rental property is recorded at cost. At such times where events or
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of property may be impaired, the
Company makes an assessment of its recoverability by estimating the future
undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. If the
carrying amount exceeds the aggregate future cash flows, the Company would
recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair
value of the property.
The Price REIT, Inc.
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Rental Property and Depreciation (continue)
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful
lives as follows:
Furniture and fixtures 7 years
Land improvements 15 years
Buildings 25 years
Investments
The equity method of accounting is used for investments in joint ventures in
which the Company has a financial interest and exercises significant influence.
Under this method, the Company recognizes its share of the net earnings or
losses of the joint ventures as earned or incurred and reduces or increases the
carrying value of the investments by the amount of distributions received or
contributions paid.
The cost method of accounting is used for the Company's investment in K&F
Development Company ("Development Company"). Under this method, the Company
recognizes as income, dividends received that are distributed from net
accumulated earnings of the Development Company.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
The Company has no requirements for compensating balances. The Company
maintains its operating cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may
exceed federally insured limits. The Company also maintains a money market
mutual fund which invests primarily in U.S. Treasury obligations. The Company
has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not
exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Deferred Loan Fees
Deferred loan fees are amortized, using the straight-line method, over the term
of the related loan and are reflected as a component of interest expense.
The Price REIT, Inc.
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments," requires that the Company disclose estimated
fair values for its financial instruments, as well as the methods and
significant assumptions used to estimate fair values. The Company believes that
the carrying values reflected in the balance sheets at December 31, 1996 and
1995 reasonably approximate the fair values for cash and cash equivalents,
receivables and all liabilities. In making such assessments, the Company used
estimates and market rates for similar instruments.
Minority Interest
Minority interest represents the approximate 20% ownership of Smithtown Venture
not owned by the Company.
Revenue Recognition
Rental income is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases.
Deferred rent receivable represents the excess of rental revenue recognized on a
straight-line basis over cash received under the applicable lease provisions.
Income Taxes
The Company has met all conditions necessary to qualify as a real estate
investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify as a real estate
investment trust, the Company is required to pay dividends of at least 95% of
its ordinary taxable income each year and meet certain other criteria. As a
qualifying real estate investment trust, the Company will not be taxed on income
distributed to its shareholders. Since the Company distributed all of its
taxable income to stockholders for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, the accompanying financial statements contain no provision for income
taxes.
Taxable income differs from net income for financial reporting purposes
principally due to differences in the timing of recognition of depreciation
expense and rental revenue.
The reported amounts of the Company's net assets as of December 31, 1996 and
1995 were less than its tax basis for Federal tax purposes by approximately
$272,000 and $451,000, respectively.
The Price REIT, Inc.
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Net Income Per Share
Net income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares
outstanding. The assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, using the
treasury stock method, is not materially dilutive for the earnings per share
computation.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.
2.Rental Property

Rental property owned through the Company's investments in joint ventures is
described in Note 3.
The Company's shopping centers are generally leased under noncancellable
operating leases with remaining terms ranging from 1 to 25 years. Certain of
the leases contain up to seven five-year renewal options. The leases generally
contain provisions for increases in rents based on the Consumer Price Index, or
a predetermined fixed amount, and require the tenant to reimburse the Company
for substantially all operating expenses of the properties.
Certain of the leases provide for additional rental payments based on gross
tenant revenues in excess of specified amounts. During the year ended December
31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company earned additional rents of approximately
$418,000, $372,000 and $225,000, respectively, relating to these leases.

and expansion activities to increase the center by approximately 85,000 square
feet of new space.
Smithtown Venture
The Company acquired its interest in Smithtown Venture from Development Company

3.Investment in Joint Ventures
Centrepoint Associates
In April 1994, the Company acquired a 50% general partnership interest in
Centrepoint Associates for $11,388,000. The general partnership interest was
acquired from a partnership in which Price/Costco and Messrs. Kornwasser and
Friedman were the general partners. The joint venture owns and operates a
236,000 square foot power center in Tempe, Arizona, with an additional 149,000
square feet of adjacent retail space, constructed and completed in 1995. During
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for the period from April 15,
1994 through December 31, 1994, the Company contributed cash of approximately
$271,000, $1,186,000 and $4,449,000, respectively, to the joint venture, to fund
construction costs and acquisitions.
In accordance with the original purchase agreement, certain development
contingencies required Price/Costco to advance the Company approximately
$130,000 during 1994 and the Company was required to make net payments to
Price/Costco totaling $791,000 during 1995 resulting in a net additional cost to
the Company of $661,000. As a result of these payments, the recorded amount of
the Company's investment in the joint venture was $661,000 greater than the
amount of its capital account as reflected in the joint venture's accounting
records. The Company is amortizing the excess cost over 15 years.
In December 1995, the joint venture purchased two properties located in the
Phoenix metropolitan area. One of the properties is located in Glendale,
Arizona, which was purchased for $6,724,000, and consists of an existing 85,000
square foot shopping center with potential to expand by approximately 20,000
additional square feet. The other property is located in Goodyear, Arizona,
which was purchased for $4,232,000, and contains approximately 40 acres of
vacant land for future development. In connection with these purchases, the
joint venture obtained a $10,500,000 loan which is due in December 1997.
Hayden Plaza North Associates
In April 1996, the Company formed a partnership with Kimco Realty Corporation
("Kimco"), a retail real estate investment trust, to purchase a 191,000 square
foot shopping center in Phoenix, Arizona at a cost of $3,490,000. The Company
holds a 50% general partnership interest. The acquisition was completed in May
1996.

Unsecured Line of Credit
In September 1993, the Company obtained a revolving credit facility from a group
of banks for up to $75 million in unsecured advances through September 1996. In

respects including a reduction in the borrowing capacity to $75 million,
amendment of the interest rate, extension of the maturity to October 1997, and
the incorporation of certain additional financial covenants. In October 1996,
the credit facility was further modified to provide for an interest rate
reduction.
Advances under the credit facility, at the Company's option, bear interest at
either LIBOR plus 1.25% or a Base Rate, as defined, plus .50%. The effective
rate of interest as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 was 6.63% and 7.05%,
respectively. Interest on the out-standing balance is payable no less than
quarterly.
The agreement requires the Company to meet various financial covenant ratios,
including minimum net operating income and net worth levels, as defined, and the
Company is precluded from paying dividends in excess of 95% of its annual net
income plus depreciation. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee of
.25% per annum on the unused portion of the unsecured line of credit under its
current borrowings.
