           On December 19, 2002, Chelsea acquired four outlet centers from New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc. pursuant to the provisions of a Purchase Agreement dated November 11, 2002 (the “Purchase Agreement”). The centers contain a total of approximately 1.3 million square feet of gross leasable area and consist of a 293,000 square-foot center located in Jackson, New Jersey, a 400,000 square-foot center located in Osage Beach, Missouri, a 329,000 square-foot center located in St. Augustine, Florida, and a 317,000 square-foot center located in Branson, Missouri. The total purchase price for the centers was approximately $193 million. Chelsea intends to continue to use the assets as outlet centers.

           The funds used by Chelsea to consummate the acquisition were derived from the sale pursuant to a registration statement of 3,500,000 shares of common stock, yielding net proceeds of approximately $119 million, and the sale pursuant to a registration statement of $150 million 6.0% notes due January 2013.

The financial statement is the responsibility of the Properties’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying combined statement of revenues and certain expenses was prepared for the purposes of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Prospectus Supplement of Chelsea Property Group, Inc. and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Properties’ revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the combined revenues and certain expenses of the New Plan Acquired Properties, as described in Note 1, for the year ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

New Plan Acquired Properties

Notes to Combined Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses
(Amounts in thousands)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Presented herein is the combined statements of revenues and certain expenses related to the operations of four factory outlets center properties which are known as Jackson Outlet Village, Factory Merchants Branson, Factory Outlet Village Osage Beach, and St. Augustine Outlet Center (collectively, the “Properties”). The Properties, which are currently owned and managed by New Plan Excel Realty Trust Inc., are not legal entities, but rather a combination of properties which are under contract for purchase by Chelsea Property Group, Inc.

Jackson Outlet Village has 292,563 square feet of gross leasable area that is located in Jackson, New Jersey. Factory Merchants Branson has 317,706 square feet of gross leasable area that is located in Branson, Missouri. Factory Outlet Village Osage Beach has 400,428 square feet of gross leasable area that is located in Osage Beach, Missouri. St. Augustine Outlet Center has 329,362 square feet of gross leasable area that is located in St. Augustine, Florida.

The accompanying combined statements of revenues and certain expenses has been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the acquisition of real estate properties. Accordingly, the financial statements exclude certain expenses that may not be comparable to those expected to be incurred in the future operations of the aforementioned properties. Items excluded consist of interest, depreciation, and amortization.

2. Use of Estimates

The preparation of the statements of revenues and certain expenses in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the statements of revenues and certain expenses and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Revenue Recognition

Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Base rent is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term according to the provisions of the lease. The excess of amounts contractually due over rents recognized was $93 for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $29 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 (unaudited). Certain lease agreements contain provisions for rents, which are calculated on a percentage of sales and recorded on the accrual basis. These rents are accrued monthly once the required thresholds per the lease agreement are exceeded. Virtually all lease agreements contain provisions for additional rents representing reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, advertising and common area maintenance costs.

4. Risks and Uncertainties

The Properties’ results of operations are significantly dependent on the overall health of the retail industry. The Properties’ tenant base is comprised almost exclusively of merchants in the retail industry. The retail industry is subject to external factors such as inflation, consumer confidence, unemployment rates and consumer tastes and preferences. A decline in the retail industry could reduce merchant sales, which could adversely affect the operating results of the Properties. A number of merchants occupied space in more than one of the Properties; however, no single merchant accounts for more than 10% of the Properties’ base rents and no one tenant occupies more than 10% of the Properties’ total gross leasable area for both the year ended December 31, 2001 and the nine months ended September 30, 2002 (unaudited).

5. Lease Agreements

The Properties lease and sub-lease retail stores under operating leases with term expiration dates ranging from 2002 to 2015. Most leases are renewable for five years after expiration of the initial term at the lessee’s option. Future minimum lease receipts under non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2001, exclusive of renewal option periods, were as follows (in thousands):

               2002............      $19,825
               2003............       18,720
               2004............       13,821
               2005............       10,816
               2006............        8,263
               Thereafter......       11,771
                                 --------------
                                     $83,216
                                 ==============

6. Ground Lease

Ground rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease.

The property located in Branson, Missouri is encumbered by a ground lease with the City of Branson. The rent expense for 2001 was $149. The lease payments for 2002 to 2006 will be $113 annually. Lease payments will increase every five years based on increases in the Consumer Price Index. The lease will expire on November 30, 2021.

7. Management Fees

New Plan Excel Realty Trust charges the Properties management fees. For the year ended December 31, 2001 and the nine months ended September 30, 2002 (unaudited) the Properties incurred such fees in the amount of approximately $816 and $630 (unaudited), respectively. Such fees are included in property expenses in the accompanying combined statements of revenues and certain expenses.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

The Properties are not presently involved in any material litigation nor, to its knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Properties, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes the costs, if any, incurred by the Properties related to any of this litigation will not materially affect the operating results of the Properties.

9. Interim Unaudited Financial Information

The financial statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 is unaudited, however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statement for the interim period have been included. The results of the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year.

Notes to Combined Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses
(Amounts in thousands)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Presented herein are the combined statements of revenues and certain expenses related to the operations of two factory outlets center properties which are known as Albertville Factory Outlets (“Albertville”) and Johnson Creek Factory Outlets (“Johnson Creek”) (collectively, the “Properties”).

Accordingly, the combined statements of revenues and certain expenses exclude certain expenses that may not be comparable to those expected to be incurred in the future operations of the aforementioned properties. Items excluded consist of interest, ground rent expense, depreciation, amortization, and management fees.

2. Use of Estimates
