Malan Realty Investors Announces Results for Second Quarter of 2001

    BINGHAM FARMS, Mich., Aug. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Malan Realty Investors, Inc.
(NYSE: MAL), a self-administered real estate investment trust (REIT), today
announced financial results for the second quarter of 2001.
    For the quarter ended June 30, 2001, funds from operations (FFO) was
$1.4 million or 27 cents per share vs. a deficit in FFO of $1.6 million or
31 cents per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.  Cash available for
distribution (CAD) for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 was $1.2 million or
23 cents per share compared with a deficit of $2.0 million or 38 cents per
share for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.  Total revenues, (excluding gains
on property sales) consisting primarily of rent and recoveries from tenants,
were $9.9 million in the second quarter of 2001 vs. $10.1 million in the
second quarter of 2000.
    For the six months ended June 30, 2001, FFO was $3.4 million or 65 cents
per share vs. $986,000 or 19 cents per share for the six months ended June 30,
2000.  CAD for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $3.3 million or 63 cents
per share compared with $843,000 or 19 cents per share for the six months
ended June 30, 2000.  Total revenues (excluding gains on property sales) were
$20.4 million for the first half of 2001 compared with $21.2 million in the
first half of 2000.
    Results for the quarter and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 were
impacted by nonrecurring expenses for a proxy contest and related change-in-
control costs.  The company also revised its CAD estimate for 2001. Cash
available for distribution is now expected to range between $1.25 and $1.35
per share for the year.
    During the second quarter of 2001, Malan recorded a loss on impairment of
real estate of $3.6 million, related primarily to the reduction of its
carrying value in Bricktown Square in Chicago, to its net realizable value in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121.
The write-down does not affect the computation of either FFO or CAD.

    Property Sales
    Consistent with its strategic plan to divest itself of certain noncore
properties, Malan announced that it completed the sales of its properties in
Liberal, Kansas and Green Bay, Wisconsin during the second quarter of 2001.
Net proceeds from the sales of approximately $400,000 and $3.1 million,
respectively, were utilized to pay down debt and for general working capital
purposes.  In July 2001, the company completed the sale of its Kmart shopping
centers on East Washington Street in Madison, Wisconsin, and in New Lenox,
Illinois for $1.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively, as part of a single
transaction with Kmart Corporation.

    Farmington Hills Redevelopment
    On July 20, 2001, Malan announced it had filed its response to a lawsuit
by Grand/Sakwa Acquisitions, LLC regarding the planned redevelopment of up to
90 acres at the intersection of Orchard Lake Road, Northwestern Highway and 14
Mile Road in Farmington Hills, Michigan.  In its response, Malan denied
Grand/Sakwa's contention that the Joint Development Agreement signed by Malan
and Grand/Sakwa concerning the redevelopment is unenforceable.  Malan also
filed a counterclaim seeking specific performance of the Joint Development
Agreement, alleging breach of contract and claiming a breach of duty by
Grand/Sakwa to negotiate in good faith.

    Debt Restructuring
    In May 2001, Malan entered into a $10 million loan agreement with Cohen
Financial Services to help fund its portion of the costs associated with Phase
I of the Farmington Hills Redevelopment.  The loan is for a one-year term and
is collateralized by the company's shopping center development in Lawrence,
Kansas. Pending the outcome of the litigation with Grand/Sakwa, the company
has elected to utilize the proceeds of the initial draw on the loan to pay
down the outstanding balance on its lines of credit and to invest in short-
term money market funds in order to mitigate its interest costs on the loan.

    Malan Realty Investors, Inc. owns, acquires, redevelops and manages
properties that are leased primarily to national and regional retail
companies.  The company owns a portfolio of 60 properties located in nine
states that contains an aggregate of approximately 5.6 million square feet of
gross leasable area.
