EXCEL LEGACY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

    The financial statements reflect all adjustments of a recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. No adjustments were necessary which were not of a normal recurring nature. Certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to the quarterly reporting rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in Excel Legacy Corporation, Inc.'s December 31, 2000 Form 10-K, as amended.

Organization

    Excel Legacy Corporation (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation was formed on November 17, 1997. The Company was originally a wholly owned subsidiary of Excel Realty Trust, Inc. ("Excel"), a Maryland corporation now known as New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc. On March 31, 1998, Excel effected a spin-off of the Company through a special dividend to the holders of common stock of Excel of all of the outstanding common stock of the Company held by Excel (the "Spin-off"). Upon completion of the Spin-off, the Company ceased to be a wholly owned subsidiary of Excel and began operating as an independent public real estate operating company.

Principles of Consolidation

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and all affiliates in which the Company has an ownership interest greater than 50%. The Company uses the equity method of accounting to account for its investments in which its ownership interest is 50% or less, but in which it has significant influence. The Company accounts for its interest in Price Enterprises, Inc., a Maryland Corporation ("PEI") (Note 2) under the equity method of accounting however, because the holders of PEI preferred stock, which does not include the Company, have the right to elect a majority of the PEI board of directors.

Real Estate

    Certain real estate assets were transferred to the Company from Excel and recorded at Excel's cost basis. Other real estate assets acquired subsequent to the Spin-off were recorded at the Company's cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings. The Company expenses as incurred ordinary repairs and maintenance costs, which include building painting, parking lot repairs, etc. The Company capitalizes major replacements and betterments, which include HVAC equipment, roofs, etc., and depreciates them over their estimated useful lives.

    The Company assesses its wholly owned properties as well as its investments in partnerships individually for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property may not be recoverable. Recoverability of property to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the property to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the property. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the property, the property is considered to be impaired. If the property is impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property exceeds the fair value of the property.

6


    At March 31, 2001, the Company had $16.1 million of real estate assets under contract to sell in 2001. This sale may not be completed due to uncertainties associated with contract negotiations and buyer due diligence contingencies. There were no other significant assets for sale at December 31, 2000. The Company continues to use its other real estate assets in its operations until it is under contract to sell.

Pre-development Costs

    Pre-development costs that are directly related to specific construction projects are capitalized as incurred. The Company expenses these costs to the extent they are unrecoverable or it is determined that the related project will not be pursued.

Management Contracts

    Management contracts are recorded at cost and amortized over a period of seven years. At March 31, 2001, the Company had $1.3 million capitalized related to management contracts acquired when the Company bought TenantFirst, a California corporation, related to the management of eight properties. The properties are not owned by PEI.

Income Taxes

    The Company provides for income taxes under the liability method. A current tax asset or liability is recognized for the estimated taxes refundable or payable for the current year. A deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to carry forwards and to temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. The measurement of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on enacted tax laws and rates. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

Deferred Leasing and Loan Acquisition Costs

    Costs incurred in obtaining tenant leases and long-term financing are amortized to other property expense and interest expense, respectively, on the straight-line and effective interest method over the terms of the related leases or debt agreements.

Revenue Recognition

    Rental revenues include: (1) minimum annual rentals, adjusted for the straight-line method for recognition of fixed future increases; (2) additional rentals, including recovery of property operating expenses, and certain other expenses which the Company accrues for in the period in which the related expense occurs; and (3) percentage rents which the Company accrues for on the basis of actual sales reported by tenants.

    Gain or loss on sale of real estate is recognized when the sales contract is executed, title has passed, payment is received, and the Company no longer has continuing involvement in the asset.

    The Company adopted the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements effective the fourth quarter of 2000. The adoption of SAB 101 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

7


Comprehensive Income

    In 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement requires that all components of comprehensive income be reported in the financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. The components of comprehensive income for the Company include net income and unrealized gains on investments.

Use of Estimates

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

    Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2000 and for the period ended March 31, 2000, to conform with the current period's presentation.

New Pronouncement

    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 133 standardizes the accounting for derivative instruments by requiring that all derivatives be recognized as assets and liabilities and measured at fair value. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2001 and has determined that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 does not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

2. Price Enterprises, Inc.:

    In November 1999, the Company completed an exchange offer of $8.50 per share for any and all common shares of PEI, which is operated as a real estate investment trust. The exchange offer consisted of per share consideration for PEI common stock of $4.25 in cash, $2.75 in principal amount of newly issued 9% Convertible Redeemable Subordinated Secured Debentures of the Company due in 2004 (convertible at any time into the Company's common stock at $5.50 per share) and $1.50 in newly issued 10% Senior Redeemable Secured Notes of the Company due in 2004. Approximately, 12.1 million shares of PEI common stock were tendered representing approximately 91% of the

12. Related Party Transactions:

   At March 31, 2001, the Company had $39.8 million payable to PEI on a $40.0 million note. During the first quarter of 2001 the Company recorded $0.9 million in interest expense related to this note.

    The Company offsets the general and administrative costs with reimbursements received monthly from PEI. In the three months ended March 31, 2001, approximately $0.8 million was received as reimbursements.

15


    In February 2001 the Company executed a ground lease with PEI in connection with a development project in Anaheim, CA. The ground lease requires payments of $2.8 million per year and during the first quarter of 2001 the Company recorded $0.5 million in cost related to this lease.

    In the first quarter of 2000, three properties were sold to PEI. The Company leases back one of the properties for a quarterly amount of $0.2 million.

    In connection with the sale of common stock to certain affiliates in 1998, the Company issued notes receivable of which $9.7 million was outstanding at March 31, 2001. The notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 7%, and are due in March 2003. The total interest receivable at March 31, 2001 from these notes totaled $2.0 million. The notes have been offset against stockholders' equity on the Company's accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    In September 2000, the Company entered into agreements with certain officers to assume $5.1 million in personal debt obligations of the officers in exchange for their rights to 2.05 million shares of Company common stock. The effective price of the transaction was $2.50 per share, tied to the market price on the day of the transaction. The officer debts were entered into in connection with their original share purchase. By assuming these third-party debts, the Company also obtained a first lien on all remaining shares currently held by the officers, which will serve as security for the officers' notes to the Company. The Company paid $4.3 million of the above personal debt in October 2000, upon which the Company recorded 1.71 million shares as repurchased.

    Additional related party information is discussed in notes 2, 4, 6 and 13.

13. Significant Event:

    On March 21, 2001, PEI, PEI Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("Merger Sub"), and the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PEI. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock, will be exchanged for 0.6667 of a share of PEI common stock, and each option to purchase shares of common stock will be exchanged for an option to purchase shares of PEI common stock (with the exercise price and number of shares appropriately adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio). Following the Merger, PEI will continue to operate as a real estate investment trust under the name Price Legacy Corporation ("Price Legacy"). The Merger, which is structured to qualify as a tax-free reorganization, is subject to the approval of the stockholders of both PEI and the Company and other customary closing conditions.

    Also on March 21, 2001, PEI entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with Warburg, Pincus Equity Partners, L.P. and certain of its affiliates ("Warburg Pincus"), pursuant to which PEI agreed to sell to Warburg Pincus (a) 17,985,612 shares of a new class of preferred stock, 9% Series B Junior Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), and (b) a warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase an aggregate of 2.5 million shares of Price Legacy common stock at an exercise price of $8.25 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000,000. The Series B Preferred Stock is junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend, liquidation and other rights, and is convertible under certain conditions into Price Legacy common stock at $5.56 per share after 24 months from the date of issuance. The 9% coupon will be paid in kind with additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock for the first 45 months from issuance. Since the Warburg Pincus investment and the Merger are subject to substantially the same conditions, it is expected that the two transactions will close concurrently (assuming they are both completed).

    On April 12, 2001, PEI and Sol Price, a significant stockholder of PEI and the Company through various trusts, agreed to convert an existing note payable to a trust controlled by Sol Price of approximately $9.3 million into 1,681,142 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and a warrant to purchase 233,679 shares of PEI common stock at an exercise price of $8.25 per share concurrently with the closing of the Merger with the Company and the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock to Warburg Pincus. These transactions are subject to stockholder approval and other customary conditions.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Nature of Business

    Excel Legacy Corporation ("the Company"), acquires, sells, develops, manages, invests, finances and operates real property and related businesses. The Company performs within three business units: 1) a commercial property unit which manages Company held properties. In this unit the company has its investment in Price Enterprises, Inc., a REIT, ("PEI") 2) a business investment unit where the Company pursues public and private operating real estate-related companies and/or their securities, and 3) a development unit where the Company develops signature projects that have unique locations, original concepts and significant competitive entry barriers.

    The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto.

Results of Operations (Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2001 to the three months ended March 31, 2000)

    Operating income totaled $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $1.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $0.1 million. This increase was related to the Grand Hotel which contributed $1.0 in operating income in 2001 compared to $0.9 million in 2000.

    Partnership income and other revenues were approximately $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $1.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $0.7 million. In 2001, the Company recognized $0.3 million from its investment in PEI compared to $0.8 million in 2000. The decrease of $0.5 million was primarily related to properties PEI sold in the fourth quarter of 2000. The proceeds from these sales were not yet reinvested in the first three months of 2001. Also contributing to the decrease in income from PEI were bad debt recoveries in 2000 that related to receivables written off in a previous year. The remaining decrease of $0.2 million in partnership income and other revenues primarily related to income from a joint venture in Westminster, CO in 2000 that was subsequently sold to PEI.

    Interest income was $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000, which primarily related to higher average note receivable balances in 2001. In the first quarter of 2001, the average notes receivable balance was $44.0 million compared to an average balance of $28.6 million in the first quarter of 2000.

    Rental income was $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $0.2 million. The increase primarily relates to an office building in San Diego, CA which the Company master leases from PEI. The building was completed in December 1999 and during the first three months of 2000 was in the process of being leased.

    Interest expense was $2.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $3.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $1.4 million. In March 2000, $18.0 million of debt was converted into common shares of the Company. Interest related to this debt was $0.4 million less in 2001 than in 2000. Also, of the notes payable outstanding in 2001, the Company capitalized approximately $0.4 million of interest expense related to borrowings directly related to its investment in a joint venture that is constructing an entertainment retail property in Newport, KY. There was no significant interest capitalized in 2000. While the debt related to the development project in Newport, KY increased, average amounts outstanding on the Company's credit facilities and short-term notes decreased, which contributed an additional $0.5 million of the decrease. An additional decrease of $0.1 million relates to mortgage debt on properties that were sold in 2000.

17


    Other operating expenses were $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $1.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase primarily relates to $0.2 million of expenses incurred by the Company's project located in Daniel's Head, Bermuda. The project opened in May 2001 and incurred certain overhead costs during the first quarter of 2001 that it did not incur in 2000. The Grand Hotel also contributed to $0.1 million of the increase.

    Property operating expenses were $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $0.1 million. The decrease primarily relates to properties sold in 2000.

    General and administrative expenses did not significantly change and were $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $0.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000.

    Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000. The decrease of $0.1 million relates to properties sold.

    The net gain from real estate sales and write-off of real estate related costs was $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $1.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000. In 2001, the Company sold a parcel of land located in Scottsdale, AZ for approximately $0.5 million. In 2000, the gain related to the sale of two properties to PEI for approximately $24.4 million. An additional property was also sold to PEI which the Company leases back from PEI.

    Benefit for income taxes was $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to a benefit of $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000 related to loss before taxes of $1.0 million and a loss of $0.6 million, respectively.

    The Company calculates Earnings Before Depreciation, Amortization and Deferred Taxes ("EBDADT") as net income, plus depreciation and amortization on real estate and real estate related assets, and deferred income taxes. EBDADT does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company believes, however, that to facilitate a clear understanding of its operating results, EBDADT should be examined in conjunction with its net income as reductions for certain items are not meaningful in evaluating income-producing real estate. The following information is included to show the items included in the Company's EBDADT for the periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000:

 
  Three Months Ended

  Financing activities     19,283     7,693  

18


    The changes in EBDAT in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the first quarter of 2000 are primarily due to the changes in the Company's results of operations discussed previously, the most significant change being the net gain from real estate of $1.8 million recorded in 2000 compared to $0.1 million in 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Debt borrowings and cash flow from asset sales were the primary sources of capital to fund the Company's development and ongoing operations in the three months ended March 31, 2001. In addition, PEI reimburses the Company for certain general and administrative expenses.

    In November 1999, the Company completed an exchange offer for the common stock of PEI. In the exchange offer, the Company acquired approximately 91% of the PEI common stock. PEI stockholders who tendered their shares of the PEI common stock in the exchange offer received from the Company a total of $8.50 consisting of $4.25 in cash, $2.75 in principal amount of the Company's 9.0% Convertible Redeemable Subordinated Secured Debentures ("Debentures") due 2004 and $1.50 in principal amount of the Company's 10.0% Senior Redeemable Secured Notes ("Senior Notes") due 2004 for each share of PEI common stock. After expenses, the Company paid approximately $61.0 million in cash and issued approximately $33.2 million in principal amount of the Debentures and approximately $18.1 million in principal amount of the Senior Notes to acquire the PEI common stock in the exchange offer. Of the cash, $27.4 million was borrowed from The Sol and Helen Price Trust. In the first quarter of 2000, the Company converted $18.1 million of this note payable into 5.1 million shares of common stock.

    In accordance with the stockholders agreement entered into in connection with the exchange offer, until a certain amount of PEI preferred stock is repurchased or tendered for, $7.5 million of cash flow, as defined, is required to be reinvested in PEI before dividends can be paid to Legacy's common shareholders. As such, cash available to service the Company's debt incurred to complete the PEI exchange offer is subject to this restriction. The Company does, however, directly benefit from savings in general and administrative expenses from managing the combined companies, and would receive its portion of PEI common stock dividends for cash flows in excess of the $7.5 million. In 2000, PEI cash flows were influenced by four properties sold where replacement properties were not immediately identified and acquired. As such, cash flows, as defined by the stockholders' agreement, did not exceed $7.5 million.

    The Company anticipates that cash flow will be generated from existing properties and from opportunistic trading of assets. The ability to continue to fund its development projects is dependent on the Company's selling of assets, the procurement of equity or joint venture capital, or the ability to raise additional debt. The Company currently has a $40.0 million revolving line of credit due in 2002 with PEI of which $39.8 million was outstanding at March 31, 2001 and a $15.0 million revolving credit facility with Fleet National Bank due in June 2001, of which $13.1 million was outstanding at March 31, 2001. In April 2001, the Company borrowed an additional $6.0 million from an individual with interest at 12.5%. Proceeds from this note were used to fund certain development projects and pay-down the line of credit. This note is due in April 2002. The Company expects to repay the short-term debt from asset sales or debt refinancing.

    The Company has two significant projects currently under development, it's hospitality located in Daniel's Head, Bermuda and its retail project in Newport, Kentucky. The project in Bermuda is scheduled to open in May 2001. The estimated remaining capital requirement on the project is less than $1.0 million. The Company anticipates meeting this capital requirement through borrowings from its $15.0 million facility, which had $13.1 million outstanding at March 31, 2001. The Company anticipates that the remaining required equity in its project in Kentucky will be funded by a construction loan which the Company has a commitment from a Bank. The Company may have to stop

19


construction should the Bank decide not to fund the construction loan. The Company has other projects in various stages of pre-development. The total costs of these projects is not known, as their nature, size and certainty are either not yet known or still need to be approved by the Company or various regulatory bodies. The Company spends approximately $0.3 million per month to fund these costs. The Company anticipates continuing to meet these costs both in the short and long terms, from available amounts on its credit facilities and from asset sales. Should the Company not have available funds for these costs, it may postpone further expenditures until funds are available. The Company intends to fund eventual construction costs on these projects through debt, other investors, and through future asset sales. Should the Company not secure the capital when needed for these projects, the Company may sell or delay the projects.

    In addition to using proceeds from asset sales to repay debt and fund development projects, the Company has on file a $300.0 million shelf registration statement for the purpose of issuing debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares, common stock, warrants or rights. Currently, there remain $286.5 million of securities available for issuance under this shelf.

    The Company expects to meet its long-term liquidity requirements, such as property acquisitions and development, mortgage debt maturities, and other investment opportunities, through the most advantageous sources of capital available to the Company at the time, which may include operating cash flows from existing properties and the completion of current development projects, the sale of common stock, preferred stock or debt securities through public offerings or private placements, entering into joint venture arrangements with financial partners, the incurrence of indebtedness through secured or unsecured borrowings and the reinvestment of proceeds from the disposition of assets.

    The Company owns 3,750,000 shares of common stock of Mace Security International, Inc. ("MACE"), and a warrant to acquire an additional 62,500 shares of Mace common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. In addition, the Company owns 250,000 common shares of US Plastic Lumber Corporation ("USPL"). The Mace and USPL common shares are subject to certain restrictions and not currently available for sale.

    In 1999, the City of Newport issued two series of public improvement bonds related to the Newport development project. The Series 2000a tax exempt bonds total $44.2 million and are broken down as follows: (a) $18.7 million maturing 2027 with interest at 8.375%; (b) $20.5 million maturing 2018 with interest at 8.5%; and (c) $5.0 million maturing 2027 with interest at 8.375%. The Series 2000b bonds are taxable and have a par amount of $11.6 million with interest at 11% due 2009. The bonds are guaranteed by Newport, the Company, and the third party developers of the project.
