1. Organization, Formation and Structure

Organization

Saul Centers, Inc. ("Saul Centers") was incorporated under the Maryland
General Corporation Law on June 10, 1993. Saul Centers operates as a real estate
investment trust (a "REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"). Saul Centers generally will not be subject to federal income tax,
provided it annually distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its
stockholders and meets certain organizational and other requirements. Saul
Centers has made and intends to continue to make regular quarterly distributions
to its stockholders. Saul Centers, together with its wholly owned subsidiaries
and the limited partnerships of which Saul Centers or one of its subsidiaries is
the sole general partner, are referred to collectively as the "Company". B.
Francis Saul II serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive
Officer of Saul Centers.

Saul Centers was formed to continue and expand the shopping center
business previously owned and conducted by the B.F. Saul Real Estate Investment
Trust, the B.F. Saul Company, Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B. and certain other
affiliated entities (collectively, "The Saul Organization"). On August 26, 1993,
The Saul Organization transferred to Saul Holdings Limited Partnership, a newly
formed Maryland limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), and two newly
formed subsidiary limited partnerships (the "Subsidiary Partnerships", and
collectively with the Operating Partnership, the "Partnerships"), shopping
center and office properties, and the management functions related to the
transferred properties. Since its formation, the Company has purchased and
developed additional properties. The Company is currently developing Washington
Square at Old Town, a 235,000 square foot Class A mixed-use office/retail
complex, and Ashburn Village IV, an in-line retail and retail pad expansion to
the Company's Ashburn Village I, II & III shopping center. The Company is also
redeveloping an under-performing shopping center to an office/business park. As
of June 30, 2001, the Company's properties (the "Current Portfolio Properties")
consisted of 27 operating shopping center properties and Ashburn Village IV (the
"Shopping Centers"), 4 predominantly office operating properties and Washington
Square at Old Town (the "Office Properties").

To facilitate the placement of collateralized mortgage debt, the Company
established Saul QRS, Inc. and SC Finance Corporation, each of which is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Saul Centers. Saul Centers serves as the sole general
partner of the Operating Partnership and of Saul Subsidiary II Limited
Partnership, while Saul QRS, Inc. serves as the sole general partner of Saul
Subsidiary I Limited Partnership. The remaining limited partnership interests in
Saul Subsidiary I Limited Partnership and Saul Subsidiary II Limited Partnership
are held by the Operating Partnership as the sole limited partner. Through this
structure, the Company owns 100% of the Current Portfolio Properties.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

The Company, which conducts all of its activities through its subsidiaries,
the Operating Partnership and Subsidiary Partnerships, engages in the ownership,
operation, management, leasing, acquisition, renovation, expansion, development
and financing of community and neighborhood shopping centers and office
properties, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region. The Company's long-term
objectives are to increase cash flow from operations and to maximize capital
appreciation of its real estate.

The Company is the owner and operator of a real estate portfolio of 33
properties totaling approximately 6,100,000 square feet of gross leasable area
("GLA") located primarily in the Washington, D.C./Baltimore metropolitan area.
The portfolio is composed of 28 neighborhood and community Shopping Centers and
5 primarily Office Properties, totaling 4,926,000 and 1,202,000 square feet of
GLA, respectively. Only the United States Government (12.3%), a tenant of six
properties and Giant Food (6.5%), a tenant of eight Shopping Centers,
individually accounted for more than 2.2% of the Company's 2000 total revenues.
With the exception of six Shopping Center properties, Washington Square and a
portion of one Office Property purchased or developed during the past four
years, the Company's Current Portfolio Properties consist of seasoned properties
that have been owned and managed by The Saul Organization for 15 years or more.
The Company expects to hold its properties as long-term investments, and it has
no maximum period for retention of any investment. The Company plans to
selectively acquire additional income-producing properties and to expand,
renovate, and improve its properties when circumstances warrant.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include
the accounts of Saul Centers, its subsidiaries, and the Operating Partnership
and Subsidiary Partnerships which are majority owned by Saul Centers. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

Real Estate Investment Properties

These financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, and accordingly, do not report the current value
of the Company's real estate assets. Real estate investment properties are
stated at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value less cost to sell.
Management believes that these assets have generally appreciated in value and,
accordingly, the aggregate current value exceeds their aggregate net book value
and also exceeds the value of the Company's liabilities as reported in these
financial statements. Real estate investment properties are reviewed for
potential impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the

-9-
Saul Centers, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

sum of an individual property's undiscounted expected future cash flows is less
than its carrying amount, the Company's policy is to recognize an impairment
loss measured by the amount the depreciated cost of the property exceeds its
fair value. Fair value is calculated as the present value of expected future
cash flows.

Interest, real estate taxes and other carrying costs are capitalized on
projects under development and construction. Interest expense capitalized during
the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, was $961,000 and $1,068,000,
respectively. Once construction is substantially completed and the assets are
placed in service, their rental income, direct operating expenses and
depreciation are included in current operations. Expenditures for repairs and
maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.

A project is considered substantially complete and available for
occupancy upon completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year
from the cessation of major construction activity. Substantially completed
portions of a project are accounted for as separate projects. Depreciation is
calculated using the straight-line method and estimated useful lives of 33 to 50
years for buildings and up to 20 years for certain other improvements. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lives of the related leases using the
straight-line method.


Accounts Receivable and Accrued Income

Accounts receivable primarily represent amounts currently due from
tenants in accordance with the terms of the respective leases. In addition, at
June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, accounts receivable included $3,816,000 and
$3,053,000, respectively, representing minimum rental income accrued on a
straight-line basis to be paid by tenants over the terms of the respective
leases. Receivables are reviewed monthly and reserves are established when, in
the opinion of management, collection of the receivable is doubtful. Accounts
receivable in the accompanying financial statements are shown net of an
allowance for doubtful accounts of $584,000 and $563,000, at June 30, 2001 and
December 31, 2000, respectively.


Deferred Debt Costs

Deferred debt costs consist of financing fees and costs incurred to
obtain long-term financing. These fees and costs are being amortized over the
terms of the respective loans or agreements. Deferred debt costs in the
accompanying financial statements are shown net of accumulated amortization of
$1,675,000 and $1,402,000, at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.


Revenue Recognition

Rental and interest income is accrued as earned except when doubt
exists as to collectibility, in which case the accrual is discontinued. When
rental payments due under leases

-10-
Saul Centers, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

vary from a straight-line basis because of free rent periods or stepped
increases, income is recognized on a straight-line basis in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. Expense recoveries represent a portion
of property operating expenses billed to the tenants, including common area
maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs. Expense recoveries
are recognized in the period when the expenses are incurred. Rental income based
on a tenant's revenues ("percentage rent") is accrued when a tenant reports
sales that exceed a specified breakpoint.

Income Taxes

The Company made an election to be treated, and intends to continue
operating so as to qualify as a REIT under the Code, commencing with its taxable
year ending December 31, 1993. A REIT generally will not be subject to federal
income taxation on that portion of its income that qualifies as REIT taxable
income to the extent that it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income
to stockholders and complies with certain other requirements. Therefore, no
provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

Per Share Data

Per share data is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share." The Company has no dilutive securities; therefore, basic and diluted
earnings per share are identical. Net income before minority interests is
presented on a fully converted basis, as if the limited partners had exercised
their right to convert their partnership ownership into shares of Saul Centers,
and is computed using weighted average shares of 19,288,000 and 18,729,000, for
the quarters, and 19,208,000 and 18,663,000, for the six month periods ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Per share data for net income after
minority interests is computed using weighted average shares of 14,116,000 and
13,557,000, for the quarters, and 14,036,000 and 13,491,000 for the six month
periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial
statements to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications
have no impact on operating results previously reported.

Minority Interests - Holders of Convertible Limited Partner Units in the
Operating Partnership

The Saul Organization has a 26.7% limited partnership interest,
represented by 5,172,000 convertible limited partnership units in the Operating
Partnership, as of June 30, 2001. These Convertible Limited Partnership Units
are convertible into shares of Saul Centers' common stock on a one-for-one
basis. The impact of The Saul Organization's 26.7% limited partnership interest
in the Operating Partnership is reflected as minority interests in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Deferred Compensation and Stock Plan for Directors

Saul Centers has established a Deferred Compensation and Stock Plan for
Directors (the "Plan") for the benefit of its directors and their beneficiaries.
A director may elect to defer all or part of his or her director's fees and has
the option to have the fees paid in cash, in shares of common stock or in a
combination of cash and shares of common stock upon termination from the Board.
If the director elects to have fees paid in stock, the number of shares
allocated to the director is determined by the market price of the common stock
on the day the fee is earned. As of June 30, 2001, 170,000 shares were
authorized and registered for use under the Plan, and 102,000 shares had been
credited to the directors' deferred fee accounts.

Beginning in 1999, pursuant to the Plan, 100 shares of the Company's common
stock are awarded annually as additional compensation to each director serving
on the Board of Directors as of the record date for the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders. The shares are issued on the date of the Annual Meeting, their
issuance may not be deferred and transfer of the shares is restricted for a
period of twelve months following the date of issue.


3. Construction In Progress

Construction in progress includes the costs of active development projects
and other predevelopment project costs. Development costs include direct
construction costs and indirect costs such as architectural, engineering,
construction management and carrying costs consisting of interest, real estate
taxes and insurance. During 2001, Ashburn Village III and a portion of the
Washington Square development have been placed in operation. Construction in
progress balances as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 are as follows:

4. Notes Payable

Notes payable totaled $348,404,000 at June 30, 2001, of which $272,501,000
(78.2%) was fixed rate debt and $75,903,000 (21.8%) was floating rate debt. At
June 30, 2001, the Company had a $70,000,000 unsecured revolving credit facility
with outstanding borrowings of $38,000,000 and additional borrowing availability
of $32,000,000. The facility requires monthly interest payments at a rate of
LIBOR plus a spread of 1.625% to 1.875% (determined by certain debt service
coverage and leverage tests) or upon the bank's reference rate at the Company's

-12-

option. The facility matures July 2003. The Company also had borrowed
$37,903,000 of a $42,000,000 construction loan secured by Washington Square at
June 30, 2001. The facility requires monthly interest payments at a rate of
LIBOR plus 1.9%.

Notes payable totaled $343,453,000 at December 31, 2000, of which
$275,629,000 (80.3%), was fixed rate debt and $67,824,000 (19.7%) was floating
rate debt. Outstanding borrowings on the $70,000,000 unsecured revolving credit

5. Shareholders' Equity (Deficit) and Minority Interests

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and, accordingly, do
not report the current value of the Company's real estate assets. The
Shareholders' Equity (Deficit) reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets does
not reflect any increase in the value resulting from the difference between the
current value and the net book value of the Company's assets. Therefore,
Shareholders' Equity (Deficit) reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets does
not reflect the market value of stockholders' investment in the Company.

The Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30,
2001 includes a charge for minority interests of $4,034,000 consisting of
$3,221,000 related to The Saul Organization's share of the net income for such
period and $813,000 related to distributions to minority interests in excess of
allocated net income for that period. The charge for the six months ended June
30, 2000 of $4,034,000 consists of $2,968,000 related to The Saul Organization's
share of net income for such period, and $1,066,000 related to distributions to
minority interests in excess of allocated net income for that period.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

This section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes in "Item 1.
Financial Statements" of this report. Historical results and percentage
relationships set forth in Item 1 and this section should not be taken as
indicative of future operations of the Company. Capitalized terms used but not
otherwise defined in this section, have the meanings given to them in Item 1 of
this Form 10-Q. This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are
generally characterized by terms such as "believe", "expect" and "may".

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, the Company's
actual results could differ materially from those given in the forward-looking
statements as a result of changes in factors which include among others, the
following: general economic and business conditions, which will, among other
things, affect demand for retail and office space; demand for retail goods;
availability and credit worthiness of the prospective tenants; lease rents and
the terms and availability of financing; adverse changes in the real estate
markets including, among other things, competition with other companies and
technology, risks of real estate development and acquisition, governmental
actions and initiatives, debt refinancing risk, conflicts of interests,
maintenance of REIT status and environmental/safety requirements.

General
- -------

The following discussion is based primarily on the consolidated
financial statements of the Company, as of June 30, 2001 and for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Company's principal demands for liquidity are expected to be
distributions to its stockholders, debt service and loan repayments, expansion,
renovation, and redevelopment of the Current Portfolio Properties and selective
acquisition and development of additional properties. In order to qualify as a
REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company must distribute to its
stockholders at least 90% of its "real estate investment trust taxable income,"
as defined in the Code. The Company anticipates that operating revenues will
provide the funds necessary for operations, debt service, distributions, and
required recurring capital expenditures. Balloon principal repayments are
expected to be funded by refinancings.

Management anticipates that during the current year the Company may: i)
redevelop certain of the Shopping Centers, ii) develop additional freestanding
outparcels or expansions within certain of the Shopping Centers, iii) acquire
existing neighborhood and community shopping centers and/or office properties
and iv) develop new shopping center or office sites. Acquisition and development
of properties are undertaken only after careful analysis and review, and
management's determination that such property is expected to provide long-term
earnings and cash flow growth. During the current year, any developments,
redevelopments, expansions

-16-
or acquisitions are expected to be funded with bank borrowings from the
Company's credit line, construction financing, proceeds from the operation of
the Company's dividend reinvestment plan or other external capital resources
available to the Company.

The Company expects to fulfill its long range requirements for capital
resources in a variety of ways, including undistributed cash flow from
operations, secured or unsecured bank and institutional borrowings, private or
public offerings of debt or equity securities and proceeds from the sales of
properties. Borrowings may be at the Saul Centers, Operating Partnership or
Subsidiary Partnership level, and securities offerings may include (subject to
certain limitations) the issuance of additional limited partnership interests in
the Operating Partnership which can be converted into shares of Saul Centers
common stock.

Management believes that the Company's current capital resources, which
include the Company's credit line of which $32,000,000 was available for
borrowing as of June 30, 2001, will be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs
for the foreseeable future.

Financial Information
- ---------------------

For the second quarter of 2001, the Company reported Funds From
Operations ("FFO") of $9,635,000. This represents a 14.4% increase over the
comparable 2000 period's FFO of $8,419,000. For the six month period ended June
30, 2001, the Company reported FFO of $19,267,000. This represents a 13.3%
increase over the comparable 2000 period's FFO of $16,999,000. FFO is presented
on a fully converted basis and as the most widely accepted measure of operating
performance for REITs is defined as net income before extraordinary items and
before real estate depreciation and amortization. The following table represents
a reconciliation from net income before minority interests to FFO:

-17-
FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts, presented on a fully converted basis and the most widely accepted
measure of operating performance for real estate investment trusts, is defined
as net income before gains or losses from property sales, extraordinary items,
and before real estate depreciation and amortization. FFO does not represent
cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to
fund cash needs, which is disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
for the applicable periods. There are no material legal or functional
restrictions on the use of FFO. FFO should not be considered as an alternative
to net income, as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, or as an
alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Management considers FFO a
supplemental measure of operating performance and along with cash flow from
operating activities, financing activities and investing activities, it provides
investors with an indication of the ability of the Company to incur and service
debt, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs. FFO may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other REITs.

Cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are as follows:

Cash flow provided by (used in):
- --------------------------------

Investing activities................... -13,238 -23,931

Financing activities................... -4,727 6,118


Capital Strategy and Financing Activity
- ---------------------------------------

The Company's capital strategy is to maintain a ratio of total debt to
total asset value of approximately 50% or less, and to actively manage the
Company's leverage and debt expense on an ongoing basis in order to maintain
prudent coverage of fixed charges. Management believes that current total debt
remains less than 50% of total asset value.

Outstanding borrowings on the Company's $70,000,000 unsecured credit line
totaled $38,000,000 and $43,000,000, leaving credit availability of $32,000,000
and $27,000,000, as of June 30, 2001 and August 1, 2001, respectively. The
credit line matures July 18, 2003 and may be extended one additional year, at
the Company's option, by paying a 1/4% extension fee.

-18-
In 1999, the Company closed a $42,000,000 construction loan, which it
anticipates will substantially fund the development costs associated with the
235,000 square foot Washington Square mixed-use office/retail complex, located
in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. The loan matures January 2002 and may be
extended for two one-year terms at the Company's option with payment of a 1/4%
fee and achievement of certain debt service coverage and valuation tests.
Interest is paid monthly using the bank's prime rate or LIBOR plus a spread of
1.90%, which will decline upon the achievement of certain leasing benchmarks. At
June 30 and August 1, 2001, outstanding borrowings on this construction loan
totaled $37,903,000 and $38,342,000, respectively.

At August 1, 2001, the Company had fixed interest rates on approximately
77.0% of its total debt outstanding. The fixed rate debt has a weighted average
remaining term of approximately 11 years.

Redevelopment, Renovations and Acquisitions
- -------------------------------------------

The Company has been selectively involved in redevelopment, renovation and
acquisition activities. It continues to evaluate land parcels for retail and
office development and potential acquisitions of operating properties for
opportunities to enhance operating income and cash flow growth. The Company also
continues to take advantage of redevelopment, renovation and expansion
opportunities within the portfolio, as demonstrated by its activities at
Washington Square, Ashburn III & IV, French Market and Crosstown Business
Center.

During the first half of 2001, the Company continued the development of
Washington Square at Old Town, a new Class A mixed-use office/retail complex
along North Washington Street in historic Old Town Alexandria in Northern
Virginia. The project totals 235,000 square feet of leasable area and is well
located on a two-acre site along Alexandria's main street. The project consists
of two identical buildings separated by a landscaped brick courtyard. Base
building construction has been completed. Work continues on the building
tenants' fixturing and interior areas. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had
signed leases on 56% of the 235,000 square feet of tenant space: the 45,000
square feet of street level retail space was 88% leased and the 190,000 square
feet of office space was 48% leased.

During late 1999, the Company purchased land located within the 1,580
acre community of Ashburn Village in Loudoun County, Virginia, adjacent to its
108,000 square foot Ashburn Village neighborhood shopping center. The land was
developed into Ashburn Village II, a 40,200 square foot in-line and pad
expansion to the existing shopping center, containing 23,600 square feet of
retail space and 16,600 square feet of professional office suites. Ashburn
Village II commenced operations during the third quarter of 2000. In August
2000, the Company purchased an additional 7.1 acres of land adjacent to Ashburn
Village II for $1,579,000. The Company is completing the development of 4.0
acres of the land known as Ashburn Village III, consisting of a 28,000 square
foot in-line and pad expansion to the retail area of the existing shopping
center. Construction was substantially completed in May 2001. Tenants are
expected to commence operations during August 2001. The remaining 3.1 acres,
Ashburn Village VI, provide the Company with the ability to develop up to 40,000
square feet of additional commercial space.

-19-
Beginning in 1998, the Company executed a plan to redevelop its 213,000
square foot French Market shopping center, advantageously located in the
thriving northwest section of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The plan specified the
retenanting of a 103,000 square foot anchor tenant space and conversion of an
outdated mini-mall to an anchor tenant use. The former Venture store space was
re-demised and leased to Bed Bath and Beyond, Staples, Famous Footwear,
BridesMart and Lakeshore Learning. The former enclosed mini-mall was leased to
Burlington Coat Factory and during 2000, converted into a two-level 90,000
square foot super store, increasing the center's size to 247,000 square feet.
The facade of the center was updated to complement the addition of the new
tenants. The Company has recently completed construction of the final phase of
the center's redevelopment after it obtained control of 20,000 square feet of
space formerly operated as a grocery store. The Company re-demised the space to
accommodate nine smaller tenant uses and updated the facade to complement the
remainder of the center. As a result of the Company's efforts, approximately 94%
of the center was leased as of June 30, 2001.

The conversion and redevelopment of the former Tulsa, Oklahoma shopping
center to an office/warehouse facility named Crosstown Business Center
continues. Ten tenants have leased 78% of the facility and several other leases
are under negotiation. Several tenants currently occupy their spaces while the
balance of the new tenants are scheduled to begin operations by late summer
2001.

Portfolio Leasing Status
- ------------------------

At June 30, 2001, the portfolio consisted of 28 Shopping Centers and 5
predominantly Office Properties, all of which are located in 7 states and the
District of Columbia.

At June 30, 2001, 94.9% of the Company's 5,900,000 square feet of
operating leasable space (excluding properties under development, Ashburn
Village IV and Washington Square) was leased to tenants, as compared to 92.9% at
June 30, 2000. The shopping center portfolio (excluding Ashburn Village IV) was
94.9% leased at June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000. The Office Properties
(excluding Washington Square) were 94.8% leased at June 30, 2001 compared to
82.3% as of June 30, 2000. The overall improvement in the 2001 period's leasing
percentage compared to the prior year's period resulted primarily from the
Company's successful leasing at Crosstown Business Center.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

The following discussion compares the results of the Company for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. This information
should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial
statements and the notes related thereto. These financial statements include all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim
periods presented.

-20-
Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2000
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 (the "2001
Quarter"), totaled $20,919,000 compared to $18,988,000 for the comparable
quarter in 2000 (the "2000 Quarter"), an increase of $1,931,000 (10.2%).

Base rent income was $17,470,000 for the 2001 Quarter, compared to
$15,734,000 for the 2000 Quarter, representing an increase of $1,736,000
(11.0%). The increase in base rent resulted primarily from new leases in effect
at recently developed and acquired properties: Ashburn Village II, a portion of
Washington Square (approximately 100,000 square feet) and Phase VI of Avenel
Business Park ("Avenel VI") during the 2001 Quarter.

Expense recoveries were $2,711,000 for the 2001 Quarter compared to
$2,545,000 for the comparable 2000 Quarter, representing an increase of $166,000
(6.5%). The increase in expense recoveries resulted primarily from new leases in
effect at the recently developed and acquired properties.

Percentage rent was $241,000 in the 2001 Quarter, compared to $261,000 in
the 2000 Quarter, a decrease of $20,000 (7.7%). The decline in percentage rent
resulted primarily from the departure of a small out-dated grocery store at
French Market, which paid percentage rent in the 2000 Quarter but agreed to
terminate its occupancy to allow the Company to redevelop and lease the space to
several tenants paying increased base rent.

Other income, which primarily consists of parking income, kiosk and
temporary leasing, and fees associated with early termination of leases, was
$497,000 in the 2001 Quarter, compared to $448,000 in the 2000 Quarter,
representing an increase of $49,000 (10.9%). The comparative increase in other
income resulted primarily from parking income collected at Washington Square
during the 2001 Quarter.

Operating expenses, consisting primarily of repairs and maintenance,
utilities, payroll, insurance and other property related expenses, increased
$66,000 (3.4%) to $2,026,000 in the 2001 Quarter from $1,960,000 in the 2000
Quarter.

The provision for credit losses increased $24,000 (21.4%) to $136,000
in the 2001 Quarter from $112,000 in the 2000 Quarter. The credit loss increase
resulted primarily from additions to credit loss reserves for several shopping
center tenants.

Real estate taxes increased $206,000 (13.3%) to $1,759,000 in the 2001
Quarter from $1,553,000 in the 2000 Quarter. The increase in real estate tax
expense in the 2001 Quarter resulted primarily from tax expense accrued at
Avenel VI acquired October 2000 and recent developments: Washington Square and
Ashburn Village III. Real estate tax expense also increased for 601 Pennsylvania
Avenue due the property's increased assessed value.

Interest expense increased $326,000 (5.6%) to $6,196,000 for the 2001
Quarter from $5,870,000 reported for the 2000 Quarter. The increase resulted
from increased average borrowing balances used to fund the acquisition of Avenel
VI and the development of Ashburn Village II and III and the portion of
Washington Square placed in service.

-21-
Amortization of deferred debt expense increased $32,000 (30.8%) to $136,000
for the 2001 Quarter compared to $104,000 for the 2000 Quarter. The increase
resulted from the amortization of additional loan costs related to the
refinancing of the Company's line of credit in July 2000.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $475,000 (14.7%) from
$3,236,000 in the 2000 Quarter to $3,711,000 in the 2001 Quarter, reflecting
increased depreciation expense on developments and acquisitions placed in
service during the past twelve months.

General and administrative expense, which consists of payroll,
administrative and other overhead expense, was $1,031,000 for the 2001 Quarter,
an increase of $61,000 (6.3%) over the 2000 Quarter. The increase in 2001
expenses compared to 2000 resulted primarily from an increase in payroll
expenses.


Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2000
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 (the "2001
Period"), totaled $42,155,000 compared to $38,395,000 for the comparable period
in 2000 (the "2000 Period"), an increase of $3,760,000 (9.8%).

Base rent income was $34,755,000 for the 2001 Period, compared to
$31,381,000 for the 2000 Period, representing an increase of $3,374,000 (10.8%).
The increase in base rent resulted primarily from new leases in effect at
recently developed and acquired properties: Ashburn Village II, a portion of
Washington Square (approximately 100,000 square feet) and Phase VI of Avenel
Business Park ("Avenel VI") during the 2001 Period.

Expense recoveries were $5,511,000 for the 2001 Period compared to
$5,367,000 for the comparable 2000 Period, representing an increase of $144,000
(2.7%).

Percentage rent was $853,000 in the 2001 Period, compared to $849,000
in the 2000 Period, an increase of $4,000 (0.5%).

Other income, which primarily consists of parking income, kiosk and
temporary leasing, and fees associated with early termination of leases, was
$1,036,000 in the 2001 Period, compared to $798,000 in the 2000 Period,
representing an increase of $238,000 (29.8%). The comparative increase in other
income resulted primarily from proceeds collected from a tenant's bankruptcy
estate in excess of the recorded receivable and to a lesser extent, parking
income collected at Washington Square during the 2001 Period.

Operating expenses, consisting primarily of repairs and maintenance,
utilities, payroll, insurance and other property related expenses, increased
$10,000 (0.2%) to $4,226,000 in the 2001 Period from $4,216,000 in the 2000
Period.


The provision for credit losses increased $48,000 (20.6%) to $281,000
in the 2001 Period from $233,000 in the 2000 Period. The credit loss increase
resulted primarily from additions to credit loss reserves for several shopping
center tenants.

-22-
Real estate taxes increased $362,000 (11.3%) to $3,556,000 in the 2001
Period from $3,194,000 in the 2000 Period. The increase in real estate tax
expense in the 2001 Period resulted primarily from tax expense accrued at Avenel
VI acquired October 2000 and recent developments: Washington Square, Ashburn
Village II and III. Real estate tax expense also increased for 601 Pennsylvania
Avenue due the property's increased assessed value.

Interest expense increased $889,000 (7.6%) to $12,547,000 for the 2001
Period from $11,658,000 reported for the 2000 Period. The increase resulted from
increased average borrowing balances used to fund the acquisition of Avenel VI
and the development of Ashburn Village II and the portion of Washington Square
placed in service.

Amortization of deferred debt expense increased $66,000 (31.9%) to
$273,000 for the 2001 Period compared to $207,000 for the 2000 Period. The
increase resulted from the amortization of additional loan costs related to a
new mortgage financing in May 2000 and the refinancing of the Company's line of
credit in July 2000.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1,009,000 (16.1%) from
$6,283,000 in the 2000 Period to $7,292,000 in the 2001 Period, reflecting
increased depreciation expense on developments and acquisitions placed in
service during the past twelve months.

General and administrative expense, which consists of payroll,
administrative and other overhead expense, was $2,005,000 for the 2001 Period,
an increase of $117,000 (6.2%) over the 2000 Period. The increase in 2001
expenses compared to 2000 resulted from a 14% increase in payroll and related
expenses.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to certain financial market risks, the most predominant
being fluctuations in interest rates. Interest rate fluctuations are monitored
by management as an integral part of the Company's overall risk management
program, which recognizes the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to
reduce the potentially adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
The Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Company is exposed to interest rate fluctuations primarily as a result of
its variable rate debt used to finance the Company's development and acquisition
activities and for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2001, the Company
had variable rate indebtedness totaling $75,903,000. Interest rate fluctuations
will affect the Company's annual interest expense on its variable rate debt. If
the interest rate on the Company's variable rate debt instruments outstanding at
June 30, 2001 had been one percent higher, its annual interest expense relating
to these debt instruments would have increased by $759,000, based on those
balances. Interest rate fluctuations will also affect the fair value of the
Company's fixed rate debt instruments. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had
fixed rate indebtedness totaling $272,501,000. If interest rates on the
Company's fixed rate debt instruments at June 30, 2001 had been one percent
higher, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have
decreased by approximately $18,100,000.
