The Board of Directors of 
The Macerich Company and the
    Managing General Partner of JMB/CM 
       Village Associates:

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses of 
The Village at Corte Madera for the year ended December 31, 1997.  This 
statement is the responsibility of management.  Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on this statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of revenue and 
certain expenses is free of material misstatement.  An audit includes 
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures 
in the statement.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles 
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the 
overall presentation of the statement.  We believe that our audit provides a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses was prepared for 
the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and 
Exchange Commission as described in Note 1 to the statement of revenue and 
certain expenses.  It is not intended to be a complete presentation of The 
Village at Corte Madera's revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, the statement referred to above presents fairly, in all 
material respects, the revenue and certain expenses, as described in Note 1, 
of The Village at Corte Madera for the year ended December 31, 1997 in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

On July 24, 1998, an affiliate of the Macerich Company (the "Company") purchased the Property from JMB/CM Village Associates, a California general partnership, (the "Partnership"). The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses have been prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and accordingly, are not representative of the actual results of operations of the Property for the period January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997 due to the exclusion of the following items, which may not be comparable to the proposed future operations of the Property: - Depreciation and amortization - Management fees and leasing commissions - Federal and state income taxes - Other items not directly related to the proposed future operations of the Property (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES (a) REVENUE RECOGNITION Minimum rent revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the individual leases. Overage rent, which is based upon the level of sales achieved by the lessee, and cart and temporary tenant rent are recognized on an accrual basis. Recoveries from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance and certain other shopping center operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the applicable costs are incurred. (b) MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. (c) USE OF ESTIMATES Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting and disclosure of revenue and certain expenses during the reporting period to prepare the statements of revenue and certain expenses in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (d) UNAUDITED INTERIM STATEMENT OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES The statement of revenue and certain expenses for the period January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998 is unaudited. In the opinion of management, such financial statement reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the revenue and certain expenses for the interim period. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. F-3 THE VILLAGE AT CORTE MADERA Notes to Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses For the period January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 1997 (Dollars in Thousands) (3) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES SHOPPING CENTER LEASES Shopping center space is leased to tenants under various operating leases with terms ranging primarily from 2 to 20 years. The leases generally provide for minimum rent and reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance and certain other operating expenses. The majority of the leases also provide for additional overage rent during any year in which a tenant's gross sales exceed a stated amount. Future minimum rent revenue to be received under leases in force at December 31, 1997 are as follows:
