Risk Management. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" on January 1, 2001, the Trust had no
derivatives and thus there was no transition adjustment upon adoption. SFAS No.
133 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically
designated as a hedge of the exposure to certain risks. The Trust enters into
derivative contracts, which qualify as cash flow hedges, in order to manage
interest rate risk. Derivatives are not purchased for speculation. During the
first six months of 2001, the Trust entered into interest rate swaps, which
fixed the interest rate at 6.22% on notional amounts totaling $125 million to
hedge its exposure to increasing interest rates on its variable rate $125
million term loan. The interest rate swaps mature concurrently with the $125
million term loan on December 19, 2003. The swaps were documented as cash flow
hedges and designated as effective at inception of the swap contract.
Consequently, the unrealized gain or loss upon measuring the swaps at their fair
value is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income within
stockholders' equity

9
and either a derivative instrument asset or liability is recorded on the balance
sheet. At June 30, 2001, a loss of $809,000 was recorded in other comprehensive
income with a corresponding derivative liability on the balance sheet. The Trust
expects additional interest expense of approximately $320,000 to be reclassified
from other comprehensive income into current earnings over the next twelve
months.

NOTE B - REAL ESTATE ASSETS AND ENCUMBRANCES

On February 16, 2001 the Trust bought the fee interest underlying the
capital lease obligation of $21.4 million, thereby terminating the capital
lease, on Brick Plaza in Brick, New Jersey for a purchase price of $28 million.
A mortgage note receivable of $3.2 million owed to the Trust by the lessor and a
$3 million security deposit on the capital lease were credited to the purchase
price, resulting in a cash outlay of approximately $21.5 million.

On March 1, 2001 the limited partners in two partnerships, owning street
retail properties in southern California, exercised their rights under the
partnership agreements and put their interests to the Trust. The Trust purchased
their interests for $18.1 million, $11.4 million in cash, which was paid at
closing, and the balance in common shares of the Trust. 328,116 shares valued at
$6.7 million were issued to the limited partners on June 19, 2001. Up to an
additional estimated $1.7 million may be owed to the limited partners if certain
leasing transactions occur.

In connection with the buyout of the minority partner at Santana Row in a
transaction being structured as a tax-free exchange the Trust made an investment
in an office building for $8.5 million. Upon consummation of the exchange, the
Trust will receive the minority interest in Santana Row and $5.9 million in cash
in exchange for the building.

On April 27, 2001 the Trust sold the Williamsburg Shopping Center in
Williamsburg, Virginia for $16.7 million resulting in a gain of $7.9 million.
The proceeds from the sale are being held by a qualified intermediary for
purposes of executing a tax-free property exchange.

NOTE C - MORTGAGE NOTES RECEIVABLE

The Trust made additional loans of $723,000 on properties located in
Manayunk, Pennsylvania to existing borrowers with an average weighted interest
rate of 10.0%. $4.2 million of notes secured by properties located in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania were repaid to the Trust during the first six months
of 2001.

10
NOTE D - MORTGAGES AND NOTES PAYABLE

At June 30, 2001 there was $158.5 million borrowed under the Trust's
syndicated credit facility, which also represents the maximum drawn during the
first six months of 2001. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings for
the six months ended June 30, 2001 was 5.9%. The facility requires fees and has
various covenants including the maintenance of a minimum shareholders' equity
and a maximum ratio of debt to net worth. At June 30, 2001 the Trust is in
compliance with all loan covenants.

At June 30, 2001 there was $21.2 million borrowed under the construction
loan for the Trust's Woodmont East development in Bethesda, Maryland. The loan,
which has a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 120 to 150 basis points,
depending on occupancy levels, matures August 29, 2002 with two one-year
extension options. No principal payments are due until maturity. The property
secures the construction loan facility.

On April 12, 2001 the Trust obtained a $33 million mortgage loan secured by
Brick Plaza in Brick, New Jersey. The mortgage, which bears interest at 7.415%,
matures November 15, 2015. The loan provides for interest only payments for the
initial 29 months, then monthly principal and interest payments based on a
twenty-seven year amortization schedule until the maturity date. The proceeds
from the mortgage loan were used to fund the purchase of the fee interest of
Brick Plaza (see Note B).

On April 17, 2001 the Trust closed on a $295 million construction loan for
Santana Row in San Jose, California. The loan, which initially bears interest at
LIBOR plus 212.5 basis points, matures April 16, 2004 with two one-year
extension options. The interest rate will decrease to LIBOR plus 187.5 basis
points and then to LIBOR plus 162.5 basis points upon the achievement of certain
leasing, occupancy and net operating income hurdles. The construction loan
requires fees and has various covenants including the maintenance of a minimum
shareholders' equity and a maximum ratio of debt to gross asset value. Funding
on the construction loan will begin after the Trust has fulfilled its equity
requirement in the project and met the pre-leasing requirements under the loan,
which are expected to be met in the third quarter of 2001.

On May 3, 2001 the Trust refinanced the mortgage loan which was secured by
Federal Plaza in Rockville, Maryland. The $36.5 million mortgage loan bears
interest at 6.75% and matures on June 1, 2011. The loan provides for monthly
principal and interest payments based on a thirty year amortization schedule
until the maturity date. The proceeds from the refinancing were first used to
payoff the outstanding mortgage balance on the property of $26.5 million. The
remaining proceeds were used to pay down on the Trust's syndicated credit
facility.

11
NOTE E - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

During the first six months of 2001, options for 417,500 shares at prices
ranging from $19.60 to $19.93 per share, fair market value at the dates of
award, were awarded to certain employees and Trustees of the Trust. The options
vest over three years.


NOTE F - INTEREST EXPENSE

The Trust incurred interest expense totaling $42.7 million during the first
six months of 2001 and $38.7 million during the first six months of 2000 of
which $8.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively, was capitalized in connection
with development projects. Interest paid was $41.2 million in the first six
months of 2001 and $41.5 million in the first six months of 2000.


NOTE G - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Pentagon Row is a mixed-use project with the retail component being
developed by the Trust and the residential component being developed by an
unrelated developer. In October 2000 the general contractor on the project was
replaced by the Trust and the residential developer, because of schedule delays
and other events that caused the Trust and the residential developer to conclude
that the original contractor was either unable or unwilling to comply with its
contractual obligations. The Trust and the residential developer filed suit
against the original contractor to recover damages that are being incurred as a
result of defaults under the contract. The original contractor filed a counter-
claim against the Trust and the residential developer for damages of $7 million
plus interest, attorneys' fees and litigation costs. The Trust believes that the
counterclaim is generally without merit and that the outcome of the counterclaim
will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of
operations or on the project. Work continues under the direction of the new
general contractor. Due to the delay and other costs associated with the change
in the general contractor the estimated total cost of the project is now $87
million, with estimated stabilized return on total cost of 9%, if there is no
recovery of damages from the original general.

In addition, the Trust is involved in various lawsuits and environmental
matters arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that such
matters will not have a material effect on the financial condition or results of
operations of the Trust.

Under the terms of the Congressional Plaza partnership agreement, from and
after January 1, 1986, Rockville Plaza Company, an unaffiliated third party, has
the right to require the Trust and the two other minority partners to purchase
from half to all of Rockville Plaza Company's 37.5% interest in Congressional
Plaza at the interest's then-current fair market value. Based on management's
current estimate of fair market value, the Trust's estimated

12
liability upon exercise of the put option is approximately $27 million.

Under the terms of seven other partnership agreements, if certain leasing
and revenue levels are obtained for the properties owned by the partnerships,
the limited partners may require the Trust to purchase their partnership
interests at a formula price based upon net operating income. The purchase price
may be paid in cash, or for four of the partnerships, a limited number of common
shares of the Trust at the election of the limited partners. In certain of the
partnerships, if the limited partners do not redeem their interest, the Trust
may choose to purchase the limited partnership interests upon the same terms.

Under the terms of other partnerships, the partners may exchange their
904,589 operating units for cash or exchange into the same number of common
shares of the Trust, at the option of the Trust.

16
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Federal Realty meets its liquidity requirements through net cash provided
by operating activities, along with traditional debt and equity funding
alternatives available to it. A significant portion of cash provided by
operating activities is distributed to common and preferred shareholders in the
form of dividends. Accordingly, capital outlays for property acquisitions, major
renovation and development projects and balloon debt repayments require debt or
equity funding. Proceeds from the sale of selected assets may also provide an
additional source of capital in 2001.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $57.2 million in the first
half of 2001 and $59.0 million in the first half of 2000 of which $39.9 million
and $38.5 million, respectively, was distributed to shareholders. The $1.8
million decrease in 2001 was due to cash uses of operating assets and
liabilities surpassing the contributions from retenanted and redeveloped
properties, as more fully described below.

Net cash used in investing activities was $124.7 million during the first
half of 2001 and $29.7 million during the first half of 2000. Cash outlays for
acquiring real estate totaled $41.8 million in the first half of 2001 and $19.6
million in the first half of 2000. During these two periods, the Trust expended
an additional $102.7 million and $59.7 million, respectively, in capital
improvements to its properties. The Trust invested $723,000 during the first
half of 2001 and $3.6 million during the first half of 2000 in mortgage notes
receivable with an average weighted interest rate of 10% and 9.7%, respectively.
$4.2 million and $5.9 million of notes were repaid during the first half of 2001
and 2000, respectively. Cash of $16.3 million in the first half of 2001 and
$47.2 million in the first half of 2000 was received from the sale of
properties.

On February 16, 2001 the Trust bought the fee interest underlying the
capital lease obligation of $21.4 million, thereby terminating the capital
lease, on Brick Plaza in Brick, New Jersey for a purchase price of $28 million.
A mortgage note receivable of $3.2 million owed to the Trust by the lessor and a
$3 million security deposit on the capital lease were credited to the purchase
price, resulting in a cash outlay of approximately $21.5 million.

On March 1, 2001 the limited partners in two partnerships, owning street
retail properties in southern California, exercised their rights under the
partnership agreements and put their interests to the Trust. The Trust purchased
their interests for $18.1 million, $11.4 million in cash, which was paid at
closing, and the balance in common shares of the Trust. 328,116 shares valued at
$6.7 million were issued to the limited partners on June 19, 2001. Up to an
additional estimated $1.7 million may be owed to the limited partners if certain
leasing transactions occur.

17
In connection with the buyout of the minority partner at Santana Row in a
transaction being structured as a tax-free exchange the Trust made an equity
investment of $2.6 million and a loan of $5.9 million to a partnership which
purchased a building for $8.5 million. Upon consummation of the exchange, the
Trust will receive the minority interest in Santana Row and repayment of its
$5.9 million loan in exchange for its $2.6 million investment in the building.

On April 27, 2001 the Trust sold the Williamsburg Shopping Center in
Williamsburg, Virginia for $16.7 million resulting in a gain of $7.9 million.
The proceeds from the sale are being held by a qualified intermediary for
purposes of executing a tax-free property exchange.

Of the $102.7 million spent in the first half of 2001 on the Trust's
existing real estate portfolio, approximately $84.4 million was invested in
development projects in Bethesda, Maryland; San Jose, California; and in
Arlington, Virginia. The remaining $18.3 million of capital expenditures relates
to improvements to common areas, tenant work and various redevelopments,
including the office expansion and retenanting of Willow Lawn Shopping Center
and the redevelopment of retail buildings in San Antonio, Texas.

Net cash provided by financing activities, before dividend payments, was
$127.5 million in the first half of 2001 and $16.2 million in the first half of
2000. In most cases, the Trust utilizes its unsecured line of credit to fund
acquisitions and capital expenditures prior to obtaining permanent financing for
these expenditures. At June 30, 2001 there was $158.5 million borrowed under
this syndicated credit facility, which also represents the maximum drawn during
the first six months of 2001. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings
for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was 5.9%. The facility requires fees and
has various covenants including the maintenance of a minimum shareholders'
equity and a maximum ratio of debt to net worth. At June 30, 2001 the Trust is
in compliance with all loan covenants.

On April 12, 2001 the Trust obtained a $33 million mortgage loan secured by
Brick Plaza in Brick, New Jersey and on May 3, 2001 the Trust refinanced the
mortgage loan which was secured by Federal Plaza in Rockville, Maryland and
placed a new $36.5 million mortgage loan on the property.

Capital requirements for the remainder of 2001 will depend on new
development efforts, acquisition opportunities, the rate of build-out on the
Trust's current development pipeline and the level of improvements and
redevelopments on existing properties.

The Trust will need additional capital in order to fund these acquisitions,
expansions and developments, particularly Santana Row, and to refinance its
maturing debt. Longer term, sources of this future funding may be additional
debt both secured and unsecured, additional equity and joint venture
relationships. Current

18
requirements for the remainder of 2001 for the current development projects and
for the refinancing of current debt are approximately $145 million. The Trust's
unsecured line of credit and the $290 million Santana Row construction loan will
be available to fund these needs.

Santana Row

In the next several years, the Trust's single largest capital need is
expected to come from the development of Santana Row, a multi-phase mixed-use
project being built on 42 acres in San Jose, California in the heart of Silicon
Valley. The project will consist of residential, retail and hotel components,
creating a community with the feel of an urban district. Phase 1 of the project,
for which construction began in November 2000, includes Santana Row, the "1,500
foot long main street" framed by nine buildings which will contain approximately
538,000 square feet of retail space, 501 residential units, a 214 room hotel and
the supporting infrastructure. Phase 1 is expected to begin generating revenues
in mid-2002 and be stabilized during 2003. The total cost of Phase 1 is expected
to be approximately $475 million. As of June 30, 2001, the Trust has incurred
costs of $170 million including the purchase of the land; the Trust estimates
that it will spend approximately $111 million in the last six months of 2001 and
the balance in 2002 to complete the first phase of the project. On April 17,
2001, the Trust closed on a $295 million construction loan. The loan, which
initially bears interest at LIBOR plus 212.5 basis points, matures April 16,
2004 with two one-year extension options. The interest rate will decrease to
LIBOR plus 187.5 basis points then to LIBOR plus 162.5 basis points upon the
achievement of certain leasing, occupancy and net operating income hurdles. The
construction loan requires fees and has various covenants including the
maintenance of a minimum shareholders' equity and a maximum ratio of debt to
gross asset value. Funding on the construction loan will begin after the Trust
has fulfilled its equity requirement in the project and met the pre-leasing
requirements under the loan, which are expected to be met in the third quarter
of 2001.

The success of Santana Row will depend on many factors which cannot be
assured and are not entirely within the Trust's control. These factors include
among others, strong demand for retail and residential space at current or
increasing prices, the ability to construct the current and later phases at
reasonable prices, the cost of operations, including utilities, the availability
and cost of capital and the general economy, particularly in the Silicon Valley.

The Trust has not finalized the cost and scope for future phases of Santana
Row. However, as Phase 1 utilizes only part of the retail and residential
entitlements of the property, the Trust expects to be able to identify and
execute economically viable additional phases to the project such that the total
investment on all phases could exceed $750 million. The Trust expects to finance
further phases from the

19
debt and equity sources that have been traditionally available.

The timing and choice of potential capital sources will depend on the cost
and availability of that capital, among other things.

CONTINGENCIES

Pentagon Row is a mixed-use project with the retail component being
developed by the Trust and the residential component being developed by an
unrelated developer. In October 2000 the general contractor on the project was
replaced by the Trust and the residential developer, because of schedule delays
and other events that caused the Trust and the residential developer to conclude
that the original contractor was either unable or unwilling to comply with its
contractual obligations. The Trust and the residential developer filed suit
against the original contractor to recover damages that are being incurred as a
result of defaults under the contract. The original contractor filed a counter-
claim against the Trust and the residential developer for damages of $7 million
plus interest, attorneys' fees and litigation costs. The Trust believes that the
counterclaim is generally without merit and that the outcome of the counterclaim
will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of
operations or on the project. Work continues under the direction of the new
general contractor. Due to the delay and other costs associated with the change
in the general contractor the estimated total cost of the project is now $87
million, with estimated stabilized return on total cost of 9%, if there is no
recovery of damages from the original general contractor.

In addition, the Trust is involved in various lawsuits and environmental
matters arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that such
matters will not have a material effect on the financial condition or results of
operations of the Trust.

Under the terms of the Congressional Plaza partnership agreement, from and
after January 1, 1986 Rockville Plaza Company, an unaffiliated third party, has
the right to require the Trust and the two other minority partners to purchase
from half to all of Rockville Plaza Company's 37.5% interest in Congressional
Plaza at the interest's then-current fair market value. Based on management's
current estimate of fair market value, the Trust's estimated liability upon
exercise of the put option is approximately $27 million.

Under the terms of seven other partnership agreements, if certain leasing
and revenue levels are obtained for the properties owned by the partnerships,
the limited partners may require the Trust to purchase their partnership
interests at a formula price based upon net operating income. The purchase price
may be paid in cash, or for four of the partnerships, a limited number of common
shares of the Trust at the election of the limited partners. In certain of the
partnerships, if the limited partners do not redeem their interest, the Trust
may choose to purchase the limited partnership interests upon the same terms.

20
Under the terms of other partnerships, the partners may exchange their
904,589 operating units for cash or exchange into the same number of common
shares of the Trust, at the option of the Trust.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Net income and funds from operations have been affected by the Trust's
recent acquisition, redevelopment and financing activities. The Trust has
historically reported its funds from operations in addition to its net income
and net cash provided by operating activities. Funds from operations is a
supplemental measure of real estate companies' operating performance. The
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines funds
from operations as follows: income available for common shareholders before
depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and before extraordinary
items less gains on sale of real estate. Funds from operations does not replace
net income as a measure of performance or net cash provided by operating
activities as a measure of liquidity. Rather, funds from operations has been
adopted by real estate investment trusts to provide a consistent measure of
operating performance in the industry. Nevertheless, funds from operations, as
presented by the Trust, may not be comparable to funds from operations as
presented by other real estate investment trusts.

The reconciliation of net income to funds from operations is as follows:

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 and 2000

Consolidated Results
- --------------------

Rental income, which consists of minimum rent, percentage rent and cost
recoveries, increased 5.5% from $128.5 million in the first half of 2000 to
$135.6 million in the first half of 2001. On a same center basis, rental income
increased 6.9%, due primarily to the favorable impact of redeveloped and
retenanted centers, as well as,

21
increases associated with lease rollovers and increased cost recoveries. Same
center basis, in 2001 excludes Williamsburg Shopping Center in Williamsburg,
Virginia and Peninsula Shopping Center in Palos Verdes, California, which were
sold on April 27, 2001 and June 30, 2000, respectively, as well as, properties
under development in 2000 and 2001, including Woodmont East in Bethesda,
Maryland, 214 Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica, California and Town & Country
Shopping Center in San Jose, California.

Other property income includes items, which although recurring, tend to
fluctuate from period to period, such as utility reimbursements, telephone
income, merchant association dues, late fees and temporary tenant income. Also
included are less regularly recurring items, such as lease termination fees.
Other property income increased 8.1% from $5.5 million in the first six months
of 2000 to $5.9 million in the first six months of 2001 due primarily to
increases in lease termination fees and parking income. On a same center basis,
other property income increased 6.1%.

Rental expenses increased 7.8% from $28.0 million in the first half of 2000
to $30.2 million in the first half of 2001. Increased leasing and marketing
costs associated with the Trust's development projects, as well as, operating
costs associated with the Woodmont East and Pentagon Row developments
contributed to this overall increase. On a same center basis, rental expenses
increased 6.1% from $26.7 million in 2000 to $28.3 million in 2001, primarily
due to increased snow removal and property management costs in 2001. Rental
expense as a percentage of property income, rental income plus other property
income, remained constant in both periods at 21%.

Real estate taxes increased 3.9% from $13.0 million in the first half of
2000 to $13.5 million in the first half of 2001. On a same center basis, real
estate taxes increased 7.6% due primarily to increased taxes on recently
redeveloped properties.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 11.4% from $26.0 million
in the first half of 2000 to $29.0 million in the first half of 2001 reflecting
the impact of recent new development, tenant work and property redevelopments.

During the first six months of 2001 the Trust incurred interest expense of
$42.7 million, of which $8.0 million was capitalized, as compared to 2000's
$38.7 million, of which $5.2 million was capitalized. The increase in interest
expense reflects the additional debt issued to fund the Trust's capital
improvement programs. The ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and
preferred dividends was 1.35x and 1.45x for the first half of 2001 and 2000,
respectively. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 1.5x and 1.6x during
the first half of 2001 and 2000, respectively. The ratio of funds from
operations to combined fixed charges and preferred dividends was 1.9x for the
first half of 2001 and 2.0x for the first half of 2000.

22
Administrative expenses increased from $5.8 million, or 4.2% of revenue in
the first six months of 2000 to $6.5 million, or 4.4% of revenue in the first
six months of 2001 due primarily to increased personnel costs.

On April 27, 2001 the Trust sold the Williamsburg Shopping Center in
Williamsburg, Virginia for $16.7 million resulting in a gain of $7.9 million. In
the second quarter of 2000 the Trust sold the 296,000 square foot Peninsula
Shopping Center located in Palos Verdes, California for $48.6 million resulting
in a gain of $3.7 million.

As a result of the foregoing items, net income before gain on the sale of
real estate remained constant in both periods at $28.5 million, while net income
increased from $32.2 million during the first half of 2000 to $36.4 million
during the first half of 2001 and net income available for common shareholders
increased from $28.2 million to $32.4 million.

While the Trust expects growth in net income and funds from operations
during the remainder of 2001, the growth rate is expected to be slower than in
2000 based on the following factors; there will be a lower contribution from
redevelopment projects as much of the Trust's southern California redevelopments
were completed in 2000, higher property management and administrative expenses
necessitated by tight labor markets, the addition of key positions and a
temporary reduction in earnings caused by the leasing and marketing costs
associated with the pre-leasing effort at the Santana Row development. The
growth in 2001 will continue to be primarily dependent on contributions from the
core portfolio. Growth of net income from the core portfolio is, in part,
dependent on the financial health of the Trust's tenants and on controlling
expenses, some of which are beyond the complete control of the Trust, such as
snow removal and real estate tax assessments. The Trust expects that demand for
its retail space should remain at its current levels. A weakening of the retail
environment could, however, adversely impact the Trust by increasing vacancies
and decreasing rents. In past weak retail and real estate environments, the
Trust has been able to replace weak and bankrupt tenants with stronger tenants;
management believes that due to the quality of the Trust's properties there will
continue to be demand for its space.

Growth in net income is also dependent on the amount of leverage and
interest rates. The Trust's leverage is increasing as it finances its
development pipeline. In addition, to the extent variable-rate debt is unhedged,
the Trust will continue to have exposure to changes in market interest rates. If
interest rates increase, net income and funds from operations, as well as the
ultimate cost of the Trust's development projects will be negatively impacted.
To mitigate its exposure to increases in market rate debt, the Trust has entered
into interest rate swaps on its $125 million term loan which locks the interest
rate on this loan at 6.22%.

overall and same center basis, increased 6.2% from $55.1 million in 2000 to
$58.4 million in 2001, primarily due to increases at recently redeveloped and
retenanted shopping centers and street retail properties, such as Greenlawn,
Blue Star, Brunswick, Fresh Meadows, and Austin Street.

Net operating income increased 6.3% from $38.3 million in 2000 to $40.7

24
increased 8.2% from $55.8 million in 2000 to $60.4 million in 2001 reflecting
the contribution from the recently completed Woodmont East project in Bethesda,
Maryland. On a same center basis, excluding Williamsburg Shopping Center in
Williamsburg, Virginia which was sold on April 27, 2001 and the recently
developed Woodmont East project in Bethesda, Maryland rental income increased
5.7%, due primarily to successful retenanting at several shopping centers and

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 and 2000

Consolidated Results
- --------------------

Rental income, which consists of minimum rent, percentage rent and cost
recoveries, increased 6.5% from $64.3 million in the second quarter of 2000 to
$68.5 million in the second quarter of 2001. On a same center basis, rental
income increased 7.3%, due primarily to the favorable impact of redeveloped and
retenanted centers, as well as, increases associated with lease rollovers and
increased cost recoveries.

Other property income includes items, which although recurring, tend to
fluctuate from period to period, such as utility reimbursements, telephone
income, merchant association dues, late fees and temporary tenant income. Also
included are less regularly recurring items, such as lease termination fees.
Other property income increased 18.5% from $2.7 million in the second quarter of
2000 to $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2001 due primarily to increases in
lease termination fees and parking income. On a same center basis, other
property income increased 5.1%.

Rental expenses increased 13.1% from $13.4 million in the second quarter of
2000 to $15.2 million in the second quarter of 2001. Increased leasing and
marketing costs associated with the Trust's development projects, as well as,
operating costs associated with the Woodmont East and Pentagon Row developments,
contributed to this overall increase. On a same center basis, rental expenses
increased 8.4% from $12.7 million in 2000 to $13.8 million in 2001 due primarily
to increased maintenance and property management costs. Rental expense as a
percentage of property income, rental income plus other property income, was 21%
for the second quarter of 2001 and 20% for the second quarter of 2000.

Real estate taxes increased 5.2% from $6.5 million in the second quarter of
2000 to $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2001. On a same center basis, real
estate taxes increased 7.5% due primarily to increased taxes on recently
redeveloped properties.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 11.1% from $13.3 million
in the second quarter of 2000 to $14.8 million in the second quarter of 2001
reflecting the impact of recent new development, tenant work and property
redevelopments.

During the second quarter of 2001 the Trust incurred interest expense of
$21.4 million, of which $3.9 million was capitalized, as compared to 2000's
$20.0 million, of which $3.0 million was capitalized. The increase in interest
expense reflects the additional debt issued to fund the Trust's capital
improvement programs.

26
Administrative expenses increased from $2.9 million, or 4.2% of revenue in
the second quarter of 2000 to $3.3 million, or 4.5% of revenue in the second
quarter of 2001 due primarily to increased personnel costs.

On April 27, 2001 the Trust sold the Williamsburg Shopping Center in
Williamsburg, Virginia for $16.7 million resulting in a gain of $7.9 million. In
the second quarter of 2000 the Trust sold the 296,000 square foot Peninsula
Shopping Center located in Palos Verdes, California for $48.6 million resulting
in a gain of $3.7 million.

As a result of the foregoing items, net income before gain on sale of real
estate decreased from $14.4 million in the second quarter of 2000 to $14.3
million in the second quarter of 2001, while net income increased from $18.1
million during the second quarter of 2000 to $22.2 million during the second
quarter of 2001 and net income available for common shareholders increased from
$16.1 million to $20.2 million.
