Basis of Presentation:

     On September 25, 2001, Konover Property Trust, Inc. (the "Company") closed
on the sale of a portfolio consisting of 28 outlet shopping centers and three
community centers (the "Outlet Properties") to Chelsea GCA Realty, Inc. for the
aggregate consideration of approximately $180 million, including the assumption
and pay down of mortgage indebtedness of approximately $164 million. As
discussed in Item 5, the Company simultaneously refinanced certain assets. The
net proceeds from the sale and refinancing after transaction costs and escrow
funding were approximately $14 million. The unaudited proforma consolidated
balance sheet as of June 30, 2001 is based on the unaudited historical financial
statements of the Company after giving effect to the transactions described
above and certain adjustments as described below.


Balance Sheet Adjustments:

(a)  Represents the historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet of  the
     Company as of June 30, 2001.

(b)  Represents the elimination of the historical unaudited balance sheets as of
     June 30, 2001 of the Outlet Properties and the impact of the sale and
     refinancing transactions as described above.

(c)  In addition to the $164 million of debt paid down or assumed in connection
     with the sale of the Outlet Properties and refinancing transactions, as
     described above, the Company recognized the gain on a $6.0 million loan
     premium included in "Debt on income properties".  The $6.0 million loan
     premium was offset by $4.5 million of all previously deferred loan fees
     associated with paid or assumed debt.  The net gain on early extinguishment
     of debt of $1.5 million is reflected in accumulated deficit in the
     shareholders' equity section of the balance sheet.

(d)  On September 14, 2001, the Company sold its Shoreside property located in
     Kitty Hawk, North Carolina for $7.5 million including the assumption of
     mortgage indebtedness of $5.4 million.  The net cash proceeds from this
     sale after closing costs was approximately $2.0 million.  The Company had a
     gain on sale of approximately $0.8 million.  All historical balances as of
     June 30, 2001 for Shoreside have been eliminated.

            Notes to Proforma Consolidated Statements of Operations
                         Konover Property Trust, Inc.
                            (Amounts in thousands)
                                  (Unaudited)

Basis of Presentation:

     On September 25, 2001, Konover Property Trust, Inc. (the "Company") closed
on the sale of a portfolio consisting of 28 outlet shopping centers and three
community centers (the "Outlet Properties") to Chelsea GCA Realty, Inc. for the
aggregate consideration of approximately $180 million, including the assumption
and pay down of mortgage indebtedness of approximately $164 million.  As
discussed in Item 5, the Company simultaneously refinanced certain assets.  The
net proceeds from the sale and refinancing after transaction costs and escrow
funding were approximately $14 million. The unaudited proforma consolidated
statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and the year
ended December 31, 2000 are based on the unaudited financial statements of the
Company after giving effect to the transactions described above and certain
adjustments as described below.

Statements of Operations Adjustments:

(a)  Represents, the unaudited consolidated statement of operations of the
     Company for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and audited consolidated
     statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000.  Effective
     June 30, 2001, the Company included in its historical consolidated
     statement of operations an estimated adjustment to the carrying value of
     the Outlet Properties.

(b)  Represents the elimination of the historical unaudited statements of
     operations for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and the year ended
     December 31, 2000 of the Outlet Properties.

(c)  The $164 million of debt paid down or assumed in connection with the sale
     of the Outlet Properties and refinancing transactions, as described above,
     resulted in interest expense savings of approximately $7.4 million for the
     six months ended June 30, 2001 and $13.7 million for the year ended
     December 31, 2000, respectively. The $6.0 million loan premium was offset
     by $4.5 million of all previously deferred loan fees associated with paid
     or assumed debt.  The net gain on early extinguishment of debt of $1.5
     million is reflected in accumulated deficit in the shareholders' equity
     section of the balance sheet.


(d)  On September 14, 2001, the Company sold its Shoreside property located in
     Kitty Hawk, North Carolina for $7.5 million including the assumption of
     mortgage indebtedness of $5.4 million.  The net cash proceeds from this
     sale after closing costs was approximately $2.0 million.  All historical
     balances for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and year ended December 31,
     2000 for Shoreside have been eliminated. The Company recognized a gain on
     sale of approximately $0.8 million related to this sale and is reflected in
     accumulated deficit in the shareholders' equity section of the balance
     sheet.

General and Administrative Expenses:

     The pro forma consolidated statements of operations presented herein do not
     reflect planned reductions in certain indirect general and administrative
     costs arising from the Company's reorganization plans resulting from the
     sale of the Outlet Properties.
