Malan Realty Investors Announces Results for Third Quarter of 2001

    BINGHAM FARMS, Mich., Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Malan Realty Investors, Inc.
(NYSE: MAL), a self-administered real estate investment trust (REIT), today
announced financial results for the third quarter of 2001.
    For the quarter ended September 30, 2001, funds from operations (FFO) was
$1.1 million or 22 cents per share vs. $2.5 million or 48 cents per share for
the quarter ended September 30, 2000.  Cash available for distribution (CAD)
for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 was $868,000 or 17 cents per share
compared with $2.0 million or 39 cents per share for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000.  Total revenues (excluding gains and losses on property
sales), consisting primarily of rent and recoveries from tenants, were
$9.7 million in the third quarter of 2001 vs. $10.3 million in the third
quarter of 2000.
    For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, FFO was $4.5 million or
88 cents per share vs. $3.4 million or 67 cents per share for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000.  CAD for the nine months ended September 30, 2001
was $4.1 million or 80 cents per share compared with $2.8 million or 55 cents
per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.  Total revenues were
$30.2 million for the first three quarters of 2001 compared with $31.5 million
in the comparable year-ago period.  Total revenues exclude gains and losses on
property sales in both periods.
    "Our strategic plan continues to call for selling non-core properties and
using the proceeds to pay down debt and repurchase stock and convertible
debentures," said Jeffrey Lewis, chief executive officer of Malan Realty
Investors.  "We expect to meet our goal for divesting properties for 2001,
which will result in a stronger portfolio and more options for the coming
year."

    Property Sales
    Malan said it has reached agreements to sell a 55,550 square-foot property
in Great Bend, Kansas, and an outlot adjacent to its cinema complex in North
Aurora, Illinois.  The company also said it expects to close on sales of
properties leased to Kmart in Milwaukee and Stevens Point, Wisconsin, and Cape
Girardeau, Missouri, during the fourth quarter.  Net proceeds from the sales
are expected to be utilized to pay down debt and for general working capital
purposes.  Year-to-date, Malan has sold four properties with net proceeds to
the company totaling approximately $10 million.

    Debt Restructuring
    Malan continues to work with Cohen Financial on restructuring its debt.
The current balance on the Greenwich Capital line of credit, approximately
$3.5 million, is expected to be paid by its maturity date of November 21,
2001.  Malan is also studying various alternatives for refinancing of its
REMIC, which matures in August 2002, including additional sales of properties
in the portfolio.  The outstanding balance on the REMIC is currently
$57.9 million.

    Stock Repurchase Program
    In October 2001, Malan repurchased 11,100 shares of its common stock at an
average price of $7.38 per share under a stock repurchase program authorized
by its board of directors. The company has purchased a total of 59,400 shares
since resumption of the program in August 2000.  Additional share purchases
will be based on market conditions, the projected rate of return on the stock
compared with other investment opportunities and the availability of funds.

    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.
