PART I & II
-----------
Item 1. Business
------- --------
Federal Realty Investment Trust is an owner, operator and redeveloper of
retail properties. Founded in 1962 as a District of Columbia business trust
of unlimited duration, the Trust is a self-administered equity real estate
investment trust. The Trust consolidates the financial statements of three
wholly owned subsidiaries, eleven partnerships and a joint venture. At
December 31, 1996 the Trust owned 86 retail properties and one apartment
complex.
The Trust operates in a manner intended to enable it to qualify as a real
estate investment trust (REIT) under Sections 856- 860 of the Internal Revenue
Code. Under those sections, a REIT which distributes at least 95% of its real
estate investment trust taxable income to its shareholders each year and which
meets certain other conditions will not be taxed on that portion of its
taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. Therefore, no
provision for Federal income taxes is required.
An important part of the Trust's strategy is to acquire older, well-
located properties in prime, densely populated and affluent areas and to
enhance their operating performance through a program of renovation,
expansion, reconfiguration and retenanting. The Trust's traditional focus has
been on community and neighborhood shopping centers that are anchored by
supermarkets, drug stores or high volume, value oriented retailers that
provide consumer necessities. Late in 1994 the Trust expanded this strategy
to include retail buildings and shopping centers in prime established main
street shopping areas. The Trust continually evaluates its properties for
renovation, retenanting and expansion opportunities. Similarly, the Trust
regularly reviews its portfolio and from time to time considers selling
certain of its properties.
The Trust's portfolio of properties has doubled from 43 as of January 1,
1992 to 87 at December 31, 1996. During this five year period the Trust
acquired 48 retail properties for approximately $414 million. Eleven of the
seventeen acquisitions in 1996 were in California and two were in Florida,
which are new markets for the Trust. During this same period four shopping
centers were sold. Also during this period the Trust spent over $183 million
to renovate, expand, improve and retenant its properties. All but four of the
acquisitions were funded primarily by cash. Of the four properties not fully
acquired by cash, one was acquired by means of capital and ground leases, one
was acquired for common shares of the Trust and the assumption of a mortgage,
one was acquired for cash and the assumption of a municipal bond issue and the
fourth was acquired for cash with a minority investment by a third party. This
growth was financed through borrowing and equity offerings, since each year
the Trust has distributed all or the majority of its cash provided by
operating activities to its shareholders.

<PAGE>
The Trust's 86 retail properties, consisting of 57 shopping centers and 29
main street retail buildings, are located in 14 states and the District of
Columbia, primarily along the East Coast between the Boston metropolitan area
and Richmond, Virginia. Nineteen of the shopping centers are located in the
Washington, D.C. metropolitan area; eleven are in Pennsylvania, primarily in
the Philadelphia area; nine are in New Jersey; five are in Illinois; three are
in Virginia; three are in Massachusetts; and there is one in each of the
following states: California, Connecticut, Georgia, Michigan, New York, North
Carolina and Tennessee. The main street retail buildings are located in
California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts and New Jersey. No
single property accounts for over 10% of the Trust's revenues.
The Trust has approximately 1,800 tenants, ranging from sole proprietors
to major national retailers; no one tenant or corporate group of tenants
accounts for 5% or more of revenue. The Trust's leases with these tenants are
classified as operating leases and typically are structured to include minimum
rents, percentage rents based on tenants' sales volumes and reimbursement of
certain operating expenses and real estate taxes.
The Trust is seeking to increase its pace of acquiring older, well-
located shopping centers and retail buildings and then enhancing their revenue
potential through a program of renovation, retenanting and remerchandising.
The Trust is also studying sites which are suitable for the development of new
shopping centers. During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
retail properties have contributed 96%, 96% and 95%, respectively of the
Trust's total revenue.
The Trust amended its by-laws in 1996 to permit investments west of the
Mississippi River. Investments are not required to be based on specific
allocation by type of property. The extent to which the Trust might mortgage
or otherwise finance investments varies with the investment involved and the
economic climate.
The success of the Trust depends upon, among other factors, the trends of
the economy, including interest rates, construction costs, retailing trends,
income tax laws, increases or decreases in operating expenses, governmental
regulations, population trends, zoning laws, legislation and the ability of
the Trust to keep its properties leased at profitable levels. The Trust
competes for tenants with other real estate owners and the Trust's properties
account for only a small fraction of the retail space available for lease.
The Trust competes for investment opportunities and debt and equity capital
with individuals, partnerships, corporations, financial institutions, life
insurance companies, pension funds, trust funds and other real estate
investment trusts.
Investments in real property create a potential for environmental
liability on the part of the current and previous owners of, or any mortgage
lender on, such real property. If hazardous substances are discovered on or
emanating from any
4
<PAGE>
property, the owner or operator of the property may be held liable for costs
and liabilities relating to such hazardous substances. Effective September 1,
1996 the Trust obtained environmental insurance on sixty of its properties.
Subject to certain exclusions and deductibles, the insurance provides coverage
for unidentified, pre-existing conditions and for future contamination caused
by tenants and third parties.
The Trust's current policy is to obtain an environmental study on each
property it seeks to acquire. On recent acquisitions, any substances
identified prior to closing which present an immediate environmental hazard
have been or are in the process of remediation. Costs related to the
abatement of asbestos which increase the value of Trust properties are
capitalized. Other costs are expensed. In 1996 and 1995 approximately
$970,000 and $1.0 million, respectively, of which $540,000 and $796,000,
respectively, was capitalized abatement costs, was spent on environmental
matters. The Trust has budgeted approximately $3.0 million for 1997 for
environmental matters, a majority of which is projected for asbestos
abatement. (See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Current Developments
--------------------
In 1996 the Trust acquired $105.6 million of retail property. Three
shopping centers were acquired: Saugus Plaza Shopping Center, located in
metropolitan Boston, Massachusetts for $12.7 million in cash; Wynnewood
Shopping Center in suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for $21.8 million in
cash; and Escondido Promenade in suburban San Diego, California for $14.2
million in cash and the assumption of $9.4 million of municipal bonds.
Fourteen retail buildings were acquired: two buildings in Winter Park, Florida
for a cost of $6.8 million; two buildings in Greenwich, Connecticut for $12.7
million; and ten buildings, located in Pasadena, Santa Monica and San Diego,
California, for cash of $17.6 million with minority interests contributing
another $10.4 million.
During 1996 the Trust spent $42.2 million in renovating, expanding and
retenanting its properties. These improvements included $11.5 million on the
final tenant work and construction of an additional 30,000 square feet at
Congressional Plaza, which includes the Trust's corporate offices; $4.7
million on the redevelopment and expansion of a portion of Bethesda Row; $3.9
million for the renovation of Brick Plaza in Brick, New Jersey; and $2.3
million to buy out below market leases. In addition the Trust invested $23.4
million in mortgage notes receivable, most of which are convertible into
ownership interests in the properties by which they are secured.
The Trust initially funded the majority of its 1996 acquisitions, capital
improvement projects and investments in mortgages with borrowings under its
revolving credit facilities with four banks. Borrowings on these revolving
credit facilities were then repaid from long term debt and equity issues. In
August 1996 the Trust issued $50.0 million of 7.48% Debentures due August 15,
2026, netting approximately $49.8 million. In May
5
<PAGE>
the Trust sold 1.8 million shares of beneficial interest ("shares") at $22 per
share to an institutional investor, netting approximately $39.3 million. In
December the Trust sold another 1.6 million shares to the public at $27 7/8
per share, netting $42.9 million. Another three million shares were sold to an
institutional investor on February 4, 1997 for $28 per share, netting $83.9
million.
At December 31, 1996 the Trust had 205 full-time employees.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
Federal Realty meets its liquidity requirements through net cash provided
by operating activities, long term borrowing through debt offerings and
mortgages, medium and short term borrowing under revolving credit facilities,
and equity offerings. Because a significant portion of the Trust's net cash
provided by operating activities is distributed to shareholders, capital
outlays for property acquisitions, renovation projects and debt repayments
require funding from borrowing or equity offerings.
Operating activities generated $65.6 million in 1996, $65.1 million in
1995 and $45.2 million in 1994 of which $52.1 million, $47.9 million and
$44.0 million, respectively, was distributed to shareholders. Despite a $5.6
million increase in net income in 1996 over 1995 and a $3.4 million increase
in non-cash charges such as depreciation in 1996 over 1995, net cash provided
by operating activities increased only $500,000 because these increases to
cash were offset by an increased usage of $8.5 million in 1996 over 1995 for
other operating purposes, primarily increases in accounts receivable, prepaid
expenses and decreases in accrued expenses. Cash generated from operating
activities was $19.9 million greater in 1995 than in 1994. The increase of
$2.6 million in net income and an increase of $4.4 million in non-cash charges
such as depreciation were augmented by a decreased usage of $12.9 million in
other operating activities, primarily due to increases in accounts payable and
accrued expenses.
During the three year period 1994 through 1996, the Trust expended over
$357 million in cash to acquire properties and to improve its properties. In
addition, in 1996 the Trust invested $23.4 million in mortgage notes
receivable, most of which are convertible into ownership interests in the
properties by which they are secured. At December 31, 1996 the Trust had
deposits of $23.4 million on real estate, primarily for the purchase in
January 1997 of the fee interest on four properties which it held subject to
capital leases. These expenditures were primarily funded from the proceeds of
various debt and equity transactions.
The Trust is actively expanding its acquisition efforts. In 1996 the
Trust amended its bylaws to permit investments west of the Mississippi River.
The Trust acquired $105.6 million of retail property in 1996, comprised of
three shopping centers and fourteen retail buildings. With certain of these
purchases the Trust made its first acquisitions in Florida and California. On
October 1, the Trust acquired Saugus Plaza Shopping Center, located in
metropolitan Boston, Massachusetts for $12.7 million in cash. On October 29,
1996 Wynnewood Shopping Center in suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was
purchased for a total cash cost of $21.8 million. On December 31, 1996 the
Trust acquired the controlling interest in a Limited Liability Company formed
to own Escondido Promenade in suburban San Diego, California for $14.2 million
in cash. The $23.5 million center is encumbered by $9.4 million of municipal
bonds. The bonds, which mature October 1, 2016, bear interest at a variable
rate determined weekly to be the interest rate which would enable
15
<PAGE>
the bonds to be remarketed at 100% of their principal amount. The bonds are
redeemable on demand by the holders and if they cannot be resold, will be due.
The other member of the Limited Liability Company, who is related to the
developer of the property, has a minor interest in the profits of the company.
On February 28, 1996 the Trust purchased, for cash, two retail buildings
in Winter Park, Florida for a cost of $6.8 million. In 1996 the Trust
purchased two buildings in Greenwich, Connecticut, one for $3.2 million in
cash on May 6 and another for $9.5 million in cash on June 4. On December 31,
1996 the Trust made an investment of $17.6 million for the general partnership
interest in two partnerships (the "CIM partnerships"), one of which owns ten
main street retail buildings and the other of which owns a purchase option on
a street retail building. The ten buildings, valued at $28 million, are
located in Pasadena, Santa Monica and San Diego, California. Nine of the ten
buildings are scheduled to be renovated and retenanted. The Trust will
contribute 90% of future capital costs. The limited partners who contributed
$10.4 million to the partnerships will receive a cumulative return of $762,000
per year. All remaining income and cash available for distribution will be
allocated 90% to the Trust and 10% to the minority partners until each
receives a return of 10% on its deemed investment and then 60% to the Trust
and 40% to the minority partner.
During 1996 the Trust invested $42.4 million in improvements to its
properties; these improvements included: (1) $11.5 on the final tenant work
and construction of an additional 30,000 square feet at Congressional Plaza,
which includes the Trust's corporate offices; (2) $4.7 million on the
redevelopment and expansion of a portion of Bethesda Row; (3) $3.9 million on
the redevelopment of Brick Plaza which was begun in 1995; and (4) $2.3 million
to buy out below market leases.
In 1995 the Trust purchased 19 retail properties. The Trust also
purchased a building abutting Flourtown Shopping Center, one of its existing
centers, for $3.1 million. The Finley Square Shopping Center in suburban
Chicago, Illinois was purchased on April 27, 1995 for approximately $18.8
million in cash; Bristol Shopping Center in Bristol, Connecticut was purchased
on September 22, 1995 for $19.6 million, by assuming a $11.3 million mortgage
and by issuing common shares valued at $7.3 million with the balance in cash;
Park & Shop Center in Washington, D.C. was purchased on December 1, 1995 for
$11.2 million in cash; and on December 21, 1995 Shirlington Shopping Center in
Arlington, Virginia was purchased for $23.5 million in cash. The retail
building acquisitions during 1995 were as follows: seven buildings in West
Hartford, Connecticut for $15.3 million; two buildings in Greenwich,
Connecticut for $14.9 million; one building in Westport, Connecticut for $5.7
million; one building in Brookline, Massachusetts for $3.8 million; one
building in Westfield, New Jersey for $2.2 million; two buildings in Evanston,
Illinois for $3.6 million; and a building contiguous to Bethesda Row in
Bethesda, Maryland for $2.0 million.
During 1995, $33.8 million was expended on improvements to Trust
properties. These improvements included $3.8 million on the
16
<PAGE>
redevelopment of Congressional Plaza in Rockville, Maryland, $5.5 million to
complete the redevelopment and retenanting of Gaithersburg Square in
Gaithersburg, Maryland and $5.8 million for the first phase of the renovation
of Brick Plaza in Brick, New Jersey.
During 1994 the Trust purchased four shopping centers and one retail
building, Idylwood Plaza in Falls Church, Virginia, North Lake Commons in Lake
Zurich, Illinois, Garden Market Shopping Center in Western Springs, Illinois,
Queen Anne Plaza in Norwell, Massachusetts and the Ship's Building in
Westport, Connecticut. In addition, the Trust purchased a 3.9 acre parcel of
land, on which there is a supermarket, which adjoins its Bala Cynwyd Shopping
Center. These properties were acquired for a total cash investment of $48.3
million and a $1.1 million note.
During 1994, $42.3 million was expended on improvements to Trust
properties. These improvements included $15.5 million on the renovation and
expansion of Congressional Plaza in Rockville, Maryland, $4.1 million to
complete the redevelopment of Ellisburg Circle Shopping Center in Cherry Hill,
New Jersey, and $3.9 million to begin the redevelopment and retenanting of
Gaithersburg Square Shopping Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
The majority of these acquisitions and improvements, as well as debt
repayment requirements, were initially financed with borrowings under the
Trust's revolving credit facilities. The Trust uses these credit facilities to
fund acquisitions and other cash requirements until conditions are favorable
for issuing equity or long term debt. In August 1996, the Trust amended these
unsecured medium term revolving credit facilities, increasing the aggregate
amount available from $130 million to $135 million, extending the maturity
from three years to five years, and decreasing the interest rate from LIBOR
(London Interbank Offered Rate) plus 75 to 100 basis points to LIBOR plus 75
basis points. The facilities require fees and have covenants requiring a
minimum shareholders' equity and a maximum ratio of debt to net worth. At
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, $59.4 million, $40.1 million and $54.7
million, respectively, was borrowed under these facilities. The maximum amount
borrowed under these facilities during 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $76.2 million,
$66.8 million and $54.7 million, respectively. The weighted average interest
rate on borrowings during 1996, 1995 and 1994 was 6.4%, 6.9%, and 5.6%,
respectively.
Borrowings on these revolving credit facilities were repaid from a
variety of long term debt and equity issues. In August 1996 the Trust issued
$50.0 million of 7.48% Debentures due August 15, 2026, netting approximately
$49.8 million. The debentures, which pay interest semiannually on February 15
and August 15, are redeemable at par at the option of the holders on August
15, 2008 and by the Trust at any time thereafter. On May 24, 1996 the Trust
sold 1.8 million shares at $22 per share to an institutional investor, netting
approximately $39.3 million. On December 13, 1996 the Trust sold another 1.6
million shares to the public at $27 7/8 per share, netting $42.9 million.
Another three million shares were sold to an institutional investor on
February 4, 1997 for $28 per share, netting $83.9 million.
17
<PAGE>
During 1995 the Trust issued $165 million of senior notes: $100.0 million
at 8 7/8% interest in January, netting proceeds of approximately $98.9
million; $25.0 million at 8% interest in April, netting approximately $24.9
million; and $40.0 million at 6 5/8% interest in December, netting
approximately $39.6 million. In January 1995 the Trust repaid a $22.5 million
mortgage which had been borrowed in 1994 and a $1.1 million note issued in
connection with the purchase of Queen Anne Plaza in 1994.
In order to minimize the risk of changes in interest rates, in connection
with certain of these debt issues the Trust entered into interest rate hedge
agreements. All agreements have been terminated and the cost or gain on the
hedges is being recognized as a component of interest expense over the life of
the financing.
In April 1994 the Trust raised net proceeds of $61.3 million from a
public offering of 2.5 million common shares of beneficial interest
("shares"). In a concurrent offering of 840,000 shares to an institutional
investor, the Trust raised net proceeds of $21.7 million. In April 1994 the
Trust redeemed $39.8 million principal amount of its 5 1/4% convertible
subordinated debentures due 2002 at a price equal to 120% of their principal
amount or $47.8 million. In November 1994 the Trust spent $4.2 million to
exercise the option to purchase the land at Northeast Shopping Center, $3.4
million of which had been recorded as a capital lease obligation.
The Trust has budgeted $44.0 million for capital improvements to its
properties in 1997. These improvements include: (1) $6.0 million for the next
phase of the redevelopment and expansion of Brick Plaza; (2) $6.1 million to
renovate and retenant Troy Shopping Center; (3) $4.1 million to renovate
Feasterville Shopping Center; and (4) $3.5 million to complete the renovation
and expansion of a portion of Bethesda Row.
The Trust's long term debt has varying maturity dates and in a number of
instances includes balloon payments or other contractual provisions that could
require significant repayments during a particular period. The next
significant maturity is approximately $53.5 million of mortgage obligations
which are due in 1998.
The Trust is seeking to increase its pace of acquisitions, both shopping
centers and main street retail buildings. In addition, the Trust is searching
for site acquisitions in its core markets to permit the Trust to build new
shopping centers.
The Trust will need additional capital in order to fund these
acquisitions, expansions and refinancings. Sources of this funding may be
proceeds from the sale of existing properties, additional debt and additional
equity. The timing and choice between additional debt or equity will depend
upon many factors, including the market price for the Trust's shares, interest
rates and the Trust's ratio of debt to net worth. The Trust believes that it
will be able to raise this capital as needed, based on its past success in so
doing.

Contingencies
-------------
As previously reported, certain of the Trust's shopping centers have some
environmental contamination. The Trust has retained an environmental
consultant to investigate contamination at a center in New Jersey. The Trust
is evaluating whether it has insurance coverage for this matter. At this time,
the Trust has not determined what the range of remediation costs might be, but
does not believe that the costs will have a material effect upon the Trust's
financial condition. The Trust has also identified chlorinated solvent
contamination at another property. The contamination appears to be linked to
the current and/or previous dry cleaner. The Trust intends to look to the
responsible parties for any remediation effort. Evaluation of this situation
is preliminary and it is impossible, at this time, to estimate the range of
remediation costs, if any.
The Trust reserved $2.0 million at closing in 1993 for environmental
issues associated with Gaithersburg Square Shopping Center. Pursuant to an
indemnity agreement entered into with the seller at closing, the Trust agreed
to take certain actions with respect to identified chlorinated solvent
contamination. The seller indemnified the Trust for certain third party claims
and government requirements related to contamination at adjacent properties.
During the fourth quarter of 1996, the reserve was reduced to $200,000 with a
corresponding reduction in the basis of land at the shopping center. The Trust
estimates that $200,000 is the cost to monitor the contaminant concentrations
in groundwater for ten years, thereby satisfying regulatory requirements, to
the best of the Trust's knowledge.
Pursuant to the provisions of the respective partnership agreements, in
the event of the exercise of put options by the other partners, the Trust
would be required to purchase the 99% limited partnership interest at
Loehmann's Plaza at its then fair market value and a 22.5% interest at
Congressional Plaza at its then fair market value.
Under the terms of the CIM partnerships, 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 common shares of the Trust, at the election of the limited
partners. If the limited partners do not redeem their interest, the Trust may
choose to purchase the limited partnership interests upon the same terms.
Recently unfavorable trends in the retail environment have led to a
number of retail bankruptcies. A further weakening of the retail environment,
additional bankruptcies and further retail consolidations could adversely
impact the Trust, by increasing vacancies and decreasing rents. In past
difficult 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 retail space.

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 which
excludes historical cost depreciation, since real estate values have
historically risen and fallen with market conditions rather than over time.
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) defines
funds from operations as follows: income before depreciation and amortization
of real estate assets and before extraordinary items and significant non-
recurring events 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.
The reconciliation of net income to funds from operations is as follows:

</TABLE>
The Trust's retail leases generally provide for minimum rents, with
periodic increases. Most retail tenants pay a majority of on-site operating
expenses and real estate taxes. Many leases also contain a percentage rent
clause which calls for additional rents based on tenant sales, so that at a
given sales volume, if prices increase, so does rental income. These features
in the Trust leases reduce the Trust's exposure to higher costs caused by
inflation, although inflation has not been significant in recent years.
Rental income, which consists of minimum rent, percentage rent, and cost
recoveries, increased 11.5% in 1995 to $142.8 million from $128.1 million in
1994 and 15.4% in 1996 to $164.9 million. If centers acquired and sold in
1994, 1995 and 1996 are excluded, rental income increased 4.3% from 1994 to
1995 and 6.6% from 1995 to 1996.
Minimum rents increased 14% in 1995 to $113.9 million from $99.9 million
in 1994 and 15.5% in 1996 to $131.5 million. If
20
<PAGE>
centers acquired and sold in 1994, 1995 and 1996 are excluded, minimum rents
increased 6.7% from 1994 to 1995 and 6.2% from 1995 to 1996. Fifty percent of
the increase in minimum rent in 1996 was from Congressional Plaza, Brick Plaza
and Gaithersburg Square, which have been redeveloped and retenanted. Thirty-
four percent of the increase in minimum rent in 1995 was from Congressional
Plaza.
Cost reimbursements consist of tenant reimbursements of real estate taxes
(real estate tax recovery) and common area maintenance expenses (CAM
recovery). After removing the effect of properties purchased and sold during
the past three years, real estate tax recovery increased 6.2% from 1994 to
1995 and 9.7% from 1995 to 1996. Forty-nine percent of the increase from 1994
to 1995 was attributable to Congressional Plaza as its occupancy increased
after being vacated for renovation. Sixty-four percent of the increase in 1996
was attributable to Congressional Plaza, Brick Plaza and Gaithersburg Square.
CAM recovery on the portfolio, adjusted to remove the effect of properties
purchased in 1994, 1995 and 1996, was $13.2 million in 1994, $11.5 million in
1995 and $13.2 million in 1996. These fluctuations correspond to fluctuations
in CAM expenses, primarily snow removal and related repairs which were high in
1994 and 1996 due to heavy snowfalls in those years.
Other property income includes items which tend to fluctuate from period
to period, such as utility reimbursements, telephone income, merchant
association dues, lease termination fees, late fees and temporary tenant
income. The increases from 1994 to 1996 were due primarily to the fluctuating
nature of the income. Major increases in 1995 over 1994 resulted from lease
termination fees, an unexpected recovery from a bankrupt tenant, merchant
association dues and a commission on telephone services. The increase from
1995 to 1996 was due to lease termination fees.
Rental expenses went from $35.8 million in 1994 to $35.1 million in 1995
to $40.7 million in 1996, which represents 26.8% of property income (rental
income plus other property income) in 1994, 23.4% in 1995 and 23.3% in 1996.
If rental expenses are adjusted to remove the effect of properties purchased
and sold in 1994, 1995 and 1996, rental expenses ranged from $35.1 million in
1994 to $32.6 million in 1995 to $35.3 million in 1996. The primary reason for
the decrease from 1994 to 1995 was a decrease in snow removal and other
related expenses, such as roof and parking lot repairs. The increase from 1995
to 1996 was caused by an increase in snow related expenses and by an increase
in the write-off of tenant work and lease commissions, often connected with
tenants whose leases were terminated. Real estate taxes have ranged from 9.0%
of property income in 1994 to 9.6% in 1995 to 9.4% in 1996. The lower
percentage in 1994 was primarily due to Congressional Plaza, which received a
refund of prior year taxes in 1994.
Depreciation and amortization expenses have increased because of the
recent acquisitions and also because of the depreciation on recent tenant work
and property improvements.
Interest income has increased slightly over the past three years. The
Trust's major sources of interest income are on its mortgage notes receivable,
its notes to officers, and its available cash balances. Increases in interest
income due to the issuance of
21
<PAGE>
$14.3 million in mortgage notes receivable in 1996 were offset by decreases in
interest on investments in marketable securities which the Trust sold in 1995.
Included in interest income in 1995 is the effect of the sale in December 1995
of the Trust's investment in Olympia and York Senior First Mortgage Notes and
other real estate investment trusts, both of which were written down to market
value in prior years.
Interest expense increased to $45.6 million in 1996 from $39.3 million in
1995, due to interest on the $50 million of senior debentures issued in 1996
and the $165 million of senior notes issued in 1995, due to interest from
increased usage of the revolving credit facilities and due to interest on the
mortgage assumed upon the purchase of Bristol Shopping Center. Interest
expense increased from $31.5 million in 1994 to $39.3 million in 1995,
primarily due to interest on the three issues of senior notes in 1995. The
ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 1.59x, 1.55x and 1.61x in 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively. The ratio of funds from operations to fixed charges
was 2.35x, 2.35x, and 2.52x in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Administrative expenses have increased as the Trust has grown and as it
has accelerated its acquisition and development efforts. Administrative
expenses as a percentage of total income, however, were fairly constant, at
5.1%, 4.7% and 4.8%, in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The $1.8 million
increase from 1995 to 1996 was primarily due to the write-off of costs
associated with unconsummated acquisition and development efforts and due to
costs related to the move of the Trust's corporate office. The major
components of the increase in 1995 over 1994 were in payroll and in costs
related to a business combination that the Trust decided not to pursue.
Investors' share of operations represents the minority interest in
Congressional Plaza, Loehmann's Plaza and North City Plaza. In 1995 minority
net losses at Loehmann's and North City exceeded the minority net income at
Congressional Plaza which was under redevelopment in 1995.
Income before loss on sale of real estate and extraordinary item
increased from $20.5 million in 1994 to $23.7 million in 1995 to $28.7 million
in 1996, reflecting not only the contribution to net income from the Trust's
acquisitions but also the contribution from improved operating results of the
core portfolio.
Loss or gain on the sale of real estate is dependent on the extent and
timing of sales. The Trust regularly reviews its portfolio and does from time
to time sell properties. In 1996 the Trust sold Town & Country Plaza in
Hammond, Louisiana for $4.9 million, resulting in a loss of $12,000. In 1995
the Trust sold North City Plaza for $1.8 million resulting in a loss on sale
of $545,000.
As a result of the foregoing items, net income rose from $20.5 million in
1994 to $23.1 million in 1995 to $28.7 million in 1996.
22
<PAGE>
The Trust intends to increase its pace of acquisitions in 1997. If
successful in so doing, these acquisitions should contribute to growth in
rental income and expenses and, thereby, net income. The growth of the core
portfolio, however, is, in part, dependent on controlling expenses, some of
which are beyond the complete control of the Trust, such as snow removal, and
trends in the retailing environment. Recently there have been a number of
retailer bankruptcies and consolidations. These bankruptcies and a further
weakening of the retail environment could adversely impact the Trust, by
increasing vacancies and by 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 retail space.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Trustees and Shareholders
Federal Realty Investment Trust
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Federal Realty
Investment Trust as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Federal Realty
Investment Trust as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the consolidated results
of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Federal Realty Investment Trust
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Federal Realty Investment Trust invests in income-producing real estate
properties. Traditionally it focused on community and neighborhood shopping
centers, but beginning in late 1994 the Trust expanded its investments to
main street retail properties, retail buildings and shopping centers in
densely developed urban and suburban areas. The Trust's leases with tenants
are classified as operating leases and rental income is recognized on an
accrual basis over the terms of the related leases.
The Trust uses the straight-line method in providing for depreciation.
Estimated useful lives range from three to 25 years on apartment buildings and
improvements, and from three to 35 years on retail properties and
improvements. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to operations as
incurred. Major improvements are capitalized. The gain or loss resulting
from the sale of properties is included in net income at the time of sale.
The Trust has adopted FAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of". The Trust does not hold
any assets that meet the impairment criteria of FAS 121.
The Trust capitalizes certain costs directly related to the acquisition,
improvement and leasing of real estate including applicable salaries and other
related costs. The capitalized costs associated with unsuccessful
acquisitions are charged to operations when that determination is made. The
capitalized costs associated with improvements and leasing are depreciated or
amortized over the life of the improvement and lease, respectively.
Costs related to the issuance of debt instruments are capitalized and are
amortized as interest expense over the life of the related issue using the
interest method. Upon conversion or in the event of redemption, applicable
unamortized costs are charged to shareholders' equity or to operations,
respectively.
The Trust operates in a manner intended to enable it to qualify as a real
estate investment trust under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code
(the "Code"). Under those sections, a trust which distributes at least 95% of
its real estate trust taxable income to its shareholders each year and which
meets certain other conditions will not be taxed on that portion of its
taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. Therefore, no
provision for Federal income taxes is required.
The Trust consolidates the financial statements of three wholly owned
subsidiaries, eleven partnerships, and a joint venture which are controlled by
the Trust. The equity interests of other investors are reflected as investors'
interest in
F7
<PAGE>
consolidated assets. All significant intercompany transactions and balances
are eliminated.
The Trust defines cash as cash on hand, demand deposits with financial
institutions and short term liquid investments with an initial maturity under
three months. Cash balances may exceed insurable amounts.
The Trust occasionally enters into derivative contracts with terms up to
90 days prior to a scheduled financing or refinancing in order to minimize the
risk of changes in interest rates. The cost or gain on these transactions is
recognized as a component of interest expense over the life of the financing.
Earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the respective periods, including options. Options
are accounted for in accordance with APB 25, whereby if options are priced at
fair market value or above at the date of grant, no compensation expense is
recognized.
Inherent in the preparation of the Trust's financial statements are
certain estimates. These estimates are prepared using management's best
judgment, after considering past and current events.
NOTE 1: REAL ESTATE AND ENCUMBRANCES
A summary of the Trust's properties at December 31, 1996 is as

========== ======== ============
</TABLE>
The Trust's 86 retail properties are located in 14 states and the
District of Columbia, primarily along the East Coast between the Boston
metropolitan area and Richmond, Virginia. There are approximately 1,800
tenants providing a wide range of retail products and services. These tenants
range from sole proprietorships to national retailers; no one tenant or
corporate group of tenants account for 5% or more of revenue.
In 1996 the Trust acquired $105.6 million of retail property, comprised
of three shopping centers and fourteen retail buildings. With certain of
these purchases the Trust made its first acquisitions in Florida and
California.
F8
<PAGE>
On October 1, 1996 the Trust acquired Saugus Plaza Shopping Center,
located in the metropolitan Boston, Massachusetts area, for a total cash cost
of $12.7 million. On October 29, 1996 Wynnewood Shopping Center in suburban
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was purchased for a total cash cost of $21.8
million. On December 31, 1996 the Trust acquired the controlling interest in
a Limited Liability Company formed to own Escondido Promenade in suburban San
Diego, California for $14.2 million in cash. The $23.5 million center is
encumbered by $9.4 million of municipal bonds. The bonds, which mature
October 1, 2016, bear interest at a variable rate determined weekly to be the
interest rate which would enable the bonds to be remarketed at 100% of their
principal amount. The bonds are redeemable on demand by the holders and if
they cannot be resold, will be due. The other member of the Limited Liability
Company, who is related to the developer of the property, has a minor interest
in the profits of the property.
On February 28, 1996 the Trust purchased, for cash, two retail buildings
in Winter Park, Florida for a cost of $6.8 million. In 1996 the Trust
purchased two buildings in Greenwich, Connecticut, one for $3.2 million in
cash on May 6 and another for $9.5 million in cash on June 4. On December 31,
1996 the Trust made an investment of $17.6 million for the general partnership
interest in two partnerships (the "CIM partnerships"), one of which owns ten
street retail buildings and the other of which owns a purchase option on a
street retail building. The ten buildings, valued at $28 million, are located
in Pasadena, Santa Monica and San Diego, California. Nine of the ten
buildings are scheduled to be renovated and retenanted. The Trust will
contribute 90% of future capital costs. The limited partners who contributed
$10.4 million to the partnerships will receive a cumulative return of $762,000
per year. All remaining income and cash available for distribution will be
allocated 90% to the Trust and 10% to the minority partner until each receives
a return of 10% on its deemed investment and then 60% to the Trust and 40% to
the minority partner.
The Trust purchased 19 retail properties during 1995 for a total cost of
$120.6 million. The Trust also purchased a building abutting Flourtown
Shopping Center, one of its existing centers, for $3.1 million. Finley Square
Shopping Center in suburban Chicago was purchased on April 27, 1995 for $18.8
million in cash; Bristol Shopping Center in Bristol, Connecticut was purchased
on September 22, 1995 for $19.6 million, by assuming a $11.3 million mortgage
and by issuing 337,527 common shares valued at $7.3 million with the balance
in cash; Park & Shop Center in Washington, D.C. was purchased on December 1,
1995 for $11.2 million in cash; and on December 21, 1995 Shirlington Shopping
Center in Arlington, Virginia was purchased for $23.5 million in cash. The
retail building acquisitions during 1995 were as follows: seven buildings in
West Hartford, Connecticut for $15.3 million; two buildings in Greenwich,
Connecticut for $14.9 million; one building in Westport, Connecticut for $5.7
million; one building in Brookline, Massachusetts for $3.8 million; one
building in Westfield, New Jersey for $2.2 million; two buildings in Evanston,
Illinois for $3.6 million and one building in Bethesda, Maryland, for $2.0
million.

<PAGE>
In connection with certain of these purchases in 1996 and 1995, brokerage
commissions of $172,000 and $671,000, respectively, were incurred to a company
that is owned by a brother of the Trust's president. These commissions were
paid pursuant to a brokerage contract on terms comparable to terms contained
in contracts which the Trust has with brokers providing similar services in
other geographic areas.
On December 31, 1996 the Trust sold Town and Country Shopping Center in
Hammond, Louisiana for $4.9 million, resulting in a loss of $12,000.
On August 1, 1995 the Trust sold North City Shopping Center in New
Castle, Pennsylvania for $1.8 million, resulting in a loss of $545,000.
The Trust purchased four shopping centers in 1994. Idylwood Plaza in
Falls Church, Virginia was purchased for $14.3 million in cash; North Lake
Commons in Lake Zurich, Illinois was purchased for $10.9 million in cash;
Garden Market Shopping Center in Western Springs, Illinois was purchased for
$7.6 million in cash; and Queen Anne Plaza in Norwell, Massachusetts was
purchased for $10.7 million in cash and a $1.1 million note which was paid in
January 1995. In addition the Trust purchased a 3.9 acre parcel of land
underlying a supermarket which adjoins its Bala Cynwyd Shopping Center for
cash of $1.1 million and a retail building in Westport, Connecticut for cash
of $3.8 million.
On April 22, 1996 the Trust made a $9.2 million convertible participating
loan to a partnership, secured by retail properties in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. The loan bears interest at 10% plus additional interest based
upon the gross income of the secured properties. In addition, upon sale of
the properties, the Trust will share in the appreciation of the properties.
From and after April 2006, which date may be extended to April 2008, the Trust
has the option to convert the loan into a partnership interest in the
properties. In 1995 and 1996 the Trust made additional loans, totalling $1.8
million, secured by properties in Philadelphia, to partnerships with common
ownership to the partnership above. One loan bears interest at the greater of
prime plus 2% or 10% and the other bears interest at 5%. Both loans are due in
November 1997.
On July 2, 1996 the Trust was granted a purchase option on a parcel of
land in Bethesda, Maryland in exchange for a refundable deposit of $50,000 and
a $3.6 million loan secured by the land. The loan requires monthly payments
of interest at 9% until March 31, 1997 and 9.5% thereafter. The Note is due
on the earlier of the exercise of the purchase option or March 31, 1998.
The Trust held two other mortgage loans at December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994. The notes, which total approximately $13.2 million, bear interest at
10% and were issued in connection with the acquisition of Trust properties.
F10
<PAGE>
In January 1994 a $22.5 million one year mortgage was placed on Northeast
Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia. The mortgage, which bore interest at LIBOR (London
Interbank Offered Rate), plus 100 to 150 basis points was repaid in January
1995.
At December 31, 1996 the Trust had contracted to purchase the fee
interest in Shillington, Troy and Feasterville Shopping Centers in January
1997 for $1.8 million, $5.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The Trust
had also contracted to purchase the fee interest in Lawrence Park Shopping
Center in June 1998 for $8.5 million. In connection with the purchase
agreement for Lawrence Park, the Trust, in January 1997, lent the seller $8.8
million at 8% which is due in June 1998. Future minimum lease payments due
for Lawrence Park are $847,000 in 1997 and $438,000 in 1998 of which $346,000
and $158,00, respectively represent interest. These properties are subject to
capital lease obligations of $7.6 million at December 31, 1996.
In November 1994 the Trust exercised an option to purchase the ground
underlying the Northeast Shopping Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for
$4.2 million, $3.4 million of which had been recorded as a capital lease
obligation.
Mortgages payable and capital lease obligations are due in installments
over various terms extending to 2060 with actual or imputed interest rates
ranging from 7.9% to 11.25%. Certain of the mortgage and capital lease
obligations require additional interest payments based upon property
performance.
Aggregate mortgage principal payments due during the next five years are
$1.4 million, $54.5 million, $532,000, $583,000, and $30.7, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments and their present value for property under
capital leases as of December 31, 1996, excluding the four leases to be
purchased in 1997 and 1998, are as follows:

Leasing Arrangements
--------------------
The Trust's leases with retail property and apartment tenants are
classified as operating leases. Leases on apartments are generally for a
period of one year, whereas retail property leases generally range from three
to 10 years and usually provide for contingent rentals based on sales and
sharing of certain operating costs.

NOTE 2. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
-------------------------------------------
The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by the
Trust, using available market information and appropriate valuation methods.
Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimates of fair value. The
estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that
could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.
The Trust estimates the fair value of its financial instruments using the
following methods and assumptions: (1) quoted market prices, when available,
are used to estimate the fair value of investments in marketable debt and
equity securities; (2) quoted market prices are used to estimate the fair
value of the Trust's marketable convertible subordinated debentures; (3)
discounted cash flow analyses are used to
F12
<PAGE>
estimate the fair value of long term notes receivable and payable, using the
Trust's estimate of current interest rates for similar notes; (4) carrying
amounts in the balance sheet approximate fair value for cash and short term
borrowings. Notes receivable from officers are excluded from fair value
estimation since they have been issued in connection with employee stock
ownership programs.

1996 and $40.1 million in 1995 were issued under the Trust's revolving credit
facilities.
The remaining balance of notes payable was issued in connection with the
acquisition, leasing or renovation of properties. A $2.5 million noninterest
bearing note was issued in September 1995 in connection with a lease
transaction at Barracks Road. The due date of this note has been extended from
December 1996 to July 15, 1997. A note, with a balance of $1.3 million at
December 31, 1996 and $1.4 million at December 31, 1995, was issued in
connection with the buy out of a tenant at Queen Anne Plaza in January 1995.
The noninterest bearing note of $2.2 million, due in annual installments of
$200,000 for eleven years, was recorded at its discounted value using an
interest rate of 8 7/8%.
A 10% note, payable in equal monthly installments with a final maturity
in 2013, issued in connection with the renovation of Perring Plaza had a
balance of $2.9 million in 1996 and 1995. A $3 million note issued in
connection with the acquisition of Federal Plaza, bearing interest at 11%, was
paid in 1996.
In August 1996 the Trust amended its unsecured medium term revolving
credit facilities with four banks, increasing the aggregate amount available
from $130 million to $135 million, extending the maturity from three years to
five, and decreasing the interest rate from LIBOR plus 75 to 100 basis points
to LIBOR plus 75 basis points. The facilities require fees and have covenants
requiring a minimum shareholders' equity and a maximum ratio of debt to net
worth.
F13
<PAGE>
The maximum drawn under these facilities during 1996, 1995 and 1994 was
$76.2 million, $66.8 million, and $54.7 million, respectively. In 1996, 1995
and 1994 the weighted average interest rate on borrowings was 6.4%, 6.9% and
5.6%, respectively, and the average amount outstanding was $47.2 million,
$26.7 million and $26.3 million, respectively.
NOTE 4. DIVIDENDS
-----------------
On November 20, 1996 the Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$.42 per share, payable January 15, 1997 to shareholders of record January 2,
1997. For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, $.21, $.43 and
$.75 of dividends paid per share, respectively, represented a return of
capital.
NOTE 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
-------------------------------------
Pursuant to the provisions of the Loehmann's Plaza Limited Partnership
Agreement, on or after September 1, 1995 the limited partner may require the
Trust to purchase his interest in the Partnership at its then fair market
value.
The Congressional Plaza Shopping Center Joint Venture Agreement provides
that upon six months advance notice the Trust can be required to purchase its
pro rata share of one venturer's 22.5% or greater joint venture interest for a
purchase price based on the appraised fair market value of the shopping
center, but no less than the percentage of joint venture interest being sold
multiplied by the difference between $17.5 million and the remaining principal
balance of any liabilities of the Joint Venture.
Under the terms of the CIM partnerships, 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 common stock of the Trust at the election of the limited partners.
If the limited partners do not redeem their interest, the Trust may choose to
purchase the limited partnership interests upon the same terms.
As previously reported, certain of the Trust's shopping centers have some
environmental contamination. The Trust has retained an environmental
consultant to investigate contamination at a shopping center in New Jersey.
The Trust is evaluating whether it has insurance coverage for this matter. At
this time, the Trust has not determined what the range of remediation costs
might be, but does not believe that the costs will have a material effect upon
the Trust's financial condition. The Trust has also identified chlorinated
solvent contamination at another property. The contamination appears to be
linked to the current and/or previous dry cleaner. The Trust intends to look
to the responsible parties for any remediation effort. Evaluation of this
situation is preliminary and it is impossible, at this time, to estimate the
range of remediation costs, if any.
F14
<PAGE>
The Trust reserved approximately $2.0 million at closing in 1993 for
environmental issues associated with Gaithersburg Square Shopping Center.
Pursuant to an indemnity agreement entered into with the seller at closing,
the Trust agreed to take certain actions with respect to identified
chlorinated solvent contamination. The seller indemnified the Trust for
certain third party claims and government requirements related to
contamination at adjacent properties. During the fourth quarter of 1996, the
reserve was reduced to $200,000 with a corresponding reduction in the basis of
land at the shopping center. The Trust estimates that $200,000 is the cost to
monitor contaminant concentrations in groundwater for ten years, thereby
satisfying regulatory requirements, to the best of the Trust's knowledge.
A nonqualified deferred compensation plan for Trust officers was
established in 1994. The plan allows the officers to defer future income until
the earlier of age 65 or termination of employment with the Trust. As of
December 31, 1996, the Trust is liable to participants for approximately
$671,000 under this plan. Although this is an unfunded plan, the Trust has
purchased certain investments with which to match this obligation.
The Trust has entered into agreements with certain key employees whereby
if these employees voluntarily or involuntarily leave the employment of the
Trust within six months after a "change of control" (defined as control of 35%
or more of outstanding shares) of the Trust, they will be entitled to a lump
sum cash payment equal to one to three times their annual salary as of the
date of termination and have their health and welfare benefits and executive
privileges continued for a period of one to three years. In the event of a
change of control, the Trust also agreed that all restrictions on the exercise
or receipt of any stock options and stock grants shall lapse upon termination
of employment and that all shares owned at termination shall be redeemed by
the Trust at a formula price.
The Trust had previously entered into employment agreements with its
President and certain other key employees for terms of up to three years,
which automatically renewed at the end of each month unless either party
notified the other that it elected not to extend the term. During 1994 the
Trust offered certain of the employees covered under these agreements, other
than the President, a severance agreement in lieu of the employment agreement.
Two employees retained their employment agreements, which agreements now have
a fixed declining term. The severance agreement prescribes that, among other
things, if the employee is terminated without cause, he/she is entitled to
salary for up to 18 months and benefits for up to nine months.
As of December 31, 1996 in connection with the renovation of certain
shopping centers, the Trust has contractual obligations of $3.2 million. In
addition the Trust is contractually obligated under leases to provide up to
$10.1 million in building and tenant improvements.

The Trust is obligated under ground lease agreements on several shopping
centers requiring minimum annual payments as follows:

NOTE 6. 5 1/4% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
---------------------------------------------------
In October 1993 the Trust issued $75.0 million of 5 1/4% convertible
subordinated debentures, realizing cash proceeds of approximately $73.0
million. The debentures were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
and were not publicly distributed within the United States. The debentures,
which mature in 2003, are convertible into shares of beneficial interest at
$36 per share. The debentures are redeemable by the Trust, in whole, at any
time after October 28, 1998 at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued
interest.
At December 1996 and 1995 the Trust had outstanding $289,000 of 5 1/4%
convertible subordinated debentures due 2002. The debentures which are
convertible into shares of beneficial interest at $30.625 were not registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 and were not publicly distributed within the
United States. In April 1994, $39.8 million of the debentures were redeemed at
a price equal to 120% of their principal amount or $47.8 million, in
accordance with a premium put. A principal amount of $53,000 of these
debentures was converted into 1,729 shares in 1994.
NOTE 7. SENIOR NOTES AND DEBENTURES
-----------------------------------
On August 16, 1996 the Trust issued $50.0 million of 7.48% Debentures due
August 15, 2026, netting approximately $49.8 million after adjusting for
underwriting discounts and other costs. The debentures, which were issued at a
price of 99.96%, pay interest semiannually on February 15, and August 15. The
debentures are redeemable at par at the option of the holders on August 15,
2008 and by the Trust at any time thereafter.
On January 19, 1995 the Trust issued $100.0 million of 8 7/8% Notes, due
January 15, 2000. The notes, which were issued at a price of 99.815%, pay
interest semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 and are not redeemable prior
to maturity. After deducting the underwriting discount and other costs, the
Trust netted approximately $98.9 million. In January 1995 the Trust executed a
five year interest rate swap on $25.0 million, whereby the Trust swapped fixed
interest payment obligations of 8.1% for a floating rate interest payment of
three month LIBOR. The floating rate during the first quarter of 1995 was
6.2%. In May 1995 the swap was terminated and the Trust sold the swap for $1.5
million, which is being amortized as a deduction to interest expense over the
remaining term.
F16
<PAGE>
On April 21, 1995 the Trust issued $25.0 million of senior notes, netting
$24.9 million after deducting discounts and costs. The notes, which are due
April 21, 2002 and bear interest at 8%, payable semiannually on April 21 and
October 21, were issued at a price of 99.683%.
On December 8, 1995 the Trust issued an additional $40.0 million of
senior notes, netting $39.6 million after deducting costs. The notes, which
mature on December 1, 2005 and bear interest at 6 5/8%, payable June 1 and
December 1, were issued at a price of 99.3%.
NOTE 8. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
----------------------------
On May 24, 1996 the Trust sold, to an institutional investor, 1.8 million
shares of beneficial interest ("shares") at $22 per share, netting $39.3
million. On December 13, 1996 the Trust sold another 1.6 million shares to the
public at $27 7/8 per share, netting $42.9 million.
In September 1995 the Trust issued 337,527 shares of beneficial interest
valued at $7.3 million in partial consideration for the purchase of Bristol
Shopping Center.
In April 1994 the Trust raised net proceeds of $61.3 million from a
public offering of 2.5 million shares of beneficial interest. In a concurrent
offering of 840,000 shares to an institutional investor, the Trust raised net
proceeds of $21.7 million.
The Trust has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan, whereby shareholders may use
their dividends to purchase shares. In 1996, 1995, and 1994, 181,274 shares,
193,965 shares, and 162,466 shares, respectively, were issued under the Plan.
On January 1, 1994 under the terms of the 1993 Long Term Incentive Plan,
an officer of the Trust purchased 40,000 common shares at $25 per share with
the assistance of a $1.0 million loan from the Trust. The loan, which has a
term of 12 years, bears interest at 6.24%. Forgiveness of up to 75% of the
loan is subject to the future performance of the Trust. One eighth of the loan
was forgiven on January 31, 1995; another one sixteenth was forgiven on each
of January 31, 1996 and 1997 as certain performance criteria of the Trust were
met.
In January 1991 the Trustees adopted the Federal Realty Investment Trust
Share Purchase Plan. Under the terms of this plan, officers and certain
employees of the Trust purchased 446,000 common shares at $15.125 per share
with the assistance of loans of $6.7 million from the Trust. Originally, the
Plan called for one sixteenth of the loan to be forgiven each year for eight
years, as long as the participant was still employed by the Trust. The loans
for all participants, but two, were modified in 1994 to extend the term an
additional four years and to tie forgiveness in 1995 and thereafter to certain
performance criteria of the Trust. One sixteenth of the loan was forgiven in
1995 and 1996. The Trust has loaned participants $1.1 million to pay the taxes
due in connection with the plan. The purchase
F17
<PAGE>
loans and the tax loans bear interest at 9.39%. The shares purchased under the
plan may not be sold, pledged or assigned until both the purchase and tax
loans are satisfied and the term has expired.
In connection with a restricted share grant, the Trust accepted from its
President a noninterest bearing note for $210,000. One installment of $105,000
was paid on the note in 1992 and the second installment is due April 15, 2001.
This loan, tax loans issued in connection with 108,000 shares granted to
officers and key employees under the terms of the 1988 Share Bonus Plan, the
last $16,000 of which were forgiven in 1996, and the tax loans issued under
the Share Purchase Plan are recorded as notes receivable -officers.
At December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, the Trust had 62,386
shares, 61,328 shares and 60,200 shares in treasury at a cost of $1.2 million,
$1.2 million, and $1.1 million, respectively.
On April 13, 1989, the Trustees adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan (the
Plan). Under the Plan, one right was issued for each outstanding share of
common stock held as of April 24, 1989, and a right will be attached to each
share issued in the future. The rights are exercisable into common shares upon
the occurrence of certain events, including acquisition by a person or group
of certain levels of beneficial ownership or a tender offer by such a person
or group. The rights are redeemable by the Trust for $.01 and expire on April
24, 1999.
NOTE 9. STOCK OPTION PLAN
-------------------------
The 1993 Long Term Incentive Plan ("Plan") authorized the grant of
options and other stock based awards for up to 6.0 million shares. Options
granted under the plan have ten year terms and vest in one to three years.
Under the Plan, on each annual meeting date during the term of the plan, each
nonemployee Trustee will be awarded 2,500 options. Accordingly, on each of May
2, 1996, May 10, 1995 and May 4, 1994, 22,500, 20,000 and 20,000 options,
respectively, were awarded to nonemployee Trustees. In 1996, 81,181 options at
$21 to $21 5/8 per share were granted to employees of the Trust. On February
15, 1995, 719,000 stock options at $20.75 per share were granted to employees
of the Trust.
The option price to acquire shares under the 1993 Plan and previous plans
is required to be at least the fair market value at the date of grant. As a
result of the exercise of options, the Trust had outstanding from its officers
and employees notes for $2.2 million at December 31, 1996 and $1.9 million at
December 31, 1995. The notes issued under the 1993 plan bear interest at the
dividend rate on the date of exercise divided by the purchase price of such
shares. The notes issued under the previous plans bear interest at the lesser
of (i) the Trust's borrowing rate or (ii) the current indicated annual
dividend rate on the shares acquired pursuant to the option, divided by the
purchase price of such shares. The notes are collateralized by
F18
<PAGE>
the shares and are with recourse. The loans have a term extending to the
employee's or officer's retirement date.
FAS Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" requires
pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as if the
Trust accounted for its stock options under the fair value method of that
Statement. The fair value for options issued in 1996 and 1995 has been
estimated as $120,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, as of the date of grant,
using a binomial model with the following weighted-average assumptions for
1996 and 1995, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 5.7% and 7.3%;
volatility factors of the expected market price of the Trust's shares of 19%
and 19%; and a weighted average expected life of the option of 5.6 years and
6.3 years.
Because option valuation models require the input of highly subjective
assumptions, such as the expected stock price volatility, and because changes
in these subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value
estimate, the existing model may not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its stock options.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options are amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The pro
forma information is as follows:

price of options outstanding at December 31, 1996 ranged from $17.25 per share
to $26.00 per share.
NOTE 10. SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLAN
------------------------------------
The Trust has a savings and retirement plan in accordance with the
provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Employees'
contributions range, at the discretion of each employee, from 1% to 17% of
compensation up to a maximum of $9,500. Under the plan, the Trust, out of its
current net income, contributes 50% of each employee's first 5% of
contributions. In addition, the Trust may make discretionary contributions
within the limits of deductibility set forth by the Code. Employees of the
Trust, who work over 1,000 hours annually, are eligible to become plan
participants. The Trust's expense for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994 was $179,000, $158,000 and $147,000, respectively. In 1996 and 1995
the Trust recorded a liability for an additional contribution of 1.5% and 1%
of salary, respectively, for all nonofficer employees who are eligible for the
401(k) plan. In addition, 1.5% of salary in 1996 and 1% of salary in 1995 was
accrued for all eligible nonofficer employees as a bonus.
NOTE 11. INTEREST EXPENSE
-------------------------
The Trust incurred interest expense totaling $46.4 million, $40.2 million
and $31.8 million, in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, of which $871,000,
$975,000, and $348,000, respectively, was capitalized. Interest paid was $44.2
million in 1996, $33.4 million in 1995, and $39.9 million in 1994 which
included $8.0 million of the premium on the 5 1/4% convertible subordinated
debentures which were redeemed in April 1994.
NOTE 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
--------------------------
On January 31, 1997, 22,000 restricted shares were granted to an officer
and two employees of the Trust. The shares vest over three years.
On January 6, 1997 as described in Footnote 1, the Trust purchased the
fee interest on three shopping centers and exercised an option to purchase the
fee on another shopping center. The Trust previously held these properties
under a capital lease. On January 22, 1997 the Trust purchased a retail
building in Chicago, Illinois for cash of $4.2 million.
On February 4, 1997 the Trust sold 3.0 million shares to an institutional
investor for $28 per share, netting $83.9 million.

NON-EXCLUSIVE BROKERAGE AGREEMENT
---------------------------------
This Agreement is made and entered into on this third day of December, 1996 by
and between Federal Realty Investment Trust, an unincorporated business trust
organized under the business laws of the District of Columbia and Street Retail,
Inc., a Maryland corporation (collectively, "Client"), and Westport Realty
Advisors, Inc. and Jack Alan Guttman (collectively, "Broker").
In consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, the
parties agree as follows:
1. This Agreement replaces the Exclusive Brokerage Agreement by and between
Client and Broker dated August 20, 1995 ("Prior Agreement") in its entirety. As
of August 21, 1996, the Prior Agreement is terminated and its terms and
provisions, including Section 6, but excluding Section 7, thereof, are null and
void.
2. Client hereby appoints Broker as its non-exclusive real estate broker for
the purchase of urban retail buildings and traditional "strip" shopping centers
and shopping malls (collectively, "Properties") located in Massachusetts,
Connecticut, New York and New Jersey (collectively, "Broker Area"). Broker
shall perform the duties of a real estate broker; specifically, Broker shall
conduct searches for Properties which fit the criteria established by Client and
assist Client with all aspects of the due diligence process in order to enable
Client to evaluate the desirability and feasibility of acquiring such Properties
or any interest therein; such assistance shall include collecting and providing
Client with market information such as demographics, information on competing
Properties, comparable rentals and sales and assistance in the appraisal and
underwriting of the Properties. Client shall have a right of first refusal,
which refusal must be in writing, on all Properties identified or located by
Broker in Broker's Area before Broker can identify, offer or show such
Properties to any other potential purchaser. Client must respond to Broker
indicating interest in pursuing or not pursuing such Properties within 14 days
of receipt of Broker's identification of such Properties. Client's indication
of interest in such Properties shall not bind Client in any way to purchase such
Properties, and no Commission (as that term is defined herein) shall be paid to
Broker unless the conditions precedent to the payment of a Commission set forth
in Section 6 hereof have been met. Client shall notify Broker if it later
determines not to continue investigating the possibility of a purchase of any
such Properties. Following such notification of refusal, Broker may identify,
offer or show any such Properties to any other potential purchaser.
3. Broker represents and warrants that:
a) Broker will act in accordance with the highest professional standards
of the industry and in compliance with all applicable laws,
regulations, codes, ordinances and orders.
F29
<PAGE>
Non-Exclusive Brokerage Agreement
b) There are no obligations, commitments, or impediments of any kind that
will limit or prevent the Broker's performance of its services and
obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
c) The Broker is duly licensed as a real estate broker in the States of
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey.
d) Broker will perform its services in a professional manner and in the
most expeditious and economical manner consistent with the interest of
Client.
e) Broker is an independent contractor and not an employee of Client.
f) Broker solely represents Client in any transaction pursuant to this
Agreement and must disclose Broker's sole representation of Client to
all third parties contacted in connection with this Agreement.
g) Broker shall NOT disclose to any prospective seller or anyone else
information obtained within the confidentiality and trust of the
fiduciary relationship with Client, nor disclose to the prospective
seller or anyone else information similarly obtained from Client
without the consent of Client.
h) Broker shall NOT receive any fees, commissions or other remuneration
other than the Commission (as hereinafter defined) from any seller,
broker or any other source in connection with any property purchased
by Client pursuant to this Agreement
4. Broker's authority is limited to performing the services in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement. Broker does not have any authority to enter into
or execute any agreement for or on behalf of Client. No written proposals,
offers or other information concerning Client shall be distributed without
Client's prior written consent, which may be withheld in Client's sole and
absolute discretion. Client shall have the right to specify Broker's degree of
involvement, if any, with respect to any negotiation of any contract of sale
("Contract of Sale"). Broker acknowledges that entering into a Contract of Sale
involves negotiation of complex provisions and issues, including business, tax
and operational issues and liabilities relating to a property, and that Client,
therefore, expressly reserves the right to reject any and all proposals for a
Contract of Sale and to approve any and all terms and conditions of any proposed
Contract of Sale as Client sees fit, in Client's sole and absolute discretion.
5. The term of this Agreement ("Term") shall commence on August 21, 1996 and
end at midnight on August 21, 1997, unless sooner terminated in accordance with
the provisions of this
F30
<PAGE>
Non-Exclusive Brokerage Agreement
Agreement.
6. For transactions less than $10,000,001, Client shall pay Broker a
commission (the "Commission") equal to:
(i) 2.25% of the portion of the aggregate gross sales price ("Purchase
Price") of the Properties acquired subject to this Agreement up to
$2,000,000;
(ii) 1.75% of the portion of the Purchase Price exceeding $2,000,000 up
to $5,000,000;
(iii) 1.50% of the portion of the Purchase Price exceeding $5,000,000 up
to $10,000,000.
For transactions exceeding $10,000,000, Client shall pay Broker a
commission (The "Commission") equal to:
(i) 1.25% of the portion of the Purchase Price up to $15,000,000;
(ii) 1.00% of the portion of the Purchase Price exceeding $15,000,000 up
to $20,000,000;
(iii) .75% of the portion of the Purchase Price exceeding $20,000,000 up
to $30,000,000;
(iv) .50% of the portion of the Purchase Price exceeding $30,000,000 up
to $75,000,000;
(v) .25% of the portion of the Purchase Price exceeding $75,000,000.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
following shall be conditions precedent to Client's obligation to pay the
Commission:
a) The execution and delivery by Client and seller of a Contract of
Sale for one or more Properties acceptable in form and substance to
Client, in Client's sole and absolute discretion; and
b) The actual closing of the sale, including Client's payment of all
monies due at closing, and transfer of title, or other evidence of
ownership, to Client.
F31
<PAGE>
Non-Exclusive Brokerage Agreement
Failure of either of these conditions shall preclude any claim for a Commission
by Broker. In no event shall Broker ever receive any fees, commissions, or
other remuneration from any seller, broker or other person or entity in
connection with properties purchased by Client pursuant to this Agreement.
Except following the occurrence of an Event of Default as described in Section
9, it is further understood that the Commission shall be paid to Broker if, (i)
within One Hundred Eighty (180) days after the expiration or termination of the
Term, Client enters into a Contract of Sale for one or more Properties presented
by Broker during the Term and named in a written list ("List") delivered to
Client by Broker within ten (10) days following the expiration of the Term or
the date of termination of this Agreement ("Period End"), provided that, no more
than five (5) Properties are included on the List, Broker is actively engaged in
negotiating the purchase by Client of each Property included on the List, all
Properties included on the List shall be agreed to by Client (which agreement
shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the owner of each Property included on
the List shall provide a letter to Client by the Period End indicating active
interest in selling such Property to Client, (ii) such purchase is ultimately
consummated, and (iii) the two conditions precedent to Client's obligation to
pay the Commission, as set forth above, have been met. Broker's Commission
shall be the sole compensation paid to Broker and Broker shall not be entitled
to reimbursement for any expenses or any other sums Broker incurs related to or
involving the performance of the services. The Commission shall be paid to
Broker at closing and Client hereby authorizes the attorney or title company
conducting the closing to disburse the Commission to Broker at such closing.
The Commission shall be payable if the transfer or sale is structured as a cash
sale, like-kind exchange, partial sale, joint venture, newly formed partnership
or transfer of stock.
7. In no event shall Client be responsible to pay any persons or entities,
other than Broker, any commissions or other remuneration of any kind in
connection with this Agreement or by virtue of their association with Broker.
Further, Client shall not be obligated to see to the application of the
Commission, if any, due under this Agreement or the payment of any other
remuneration for the benefit of any persons or entities other than Broker and no
other persons or entity shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.
Broker shall be solely responsible for the direct payment of any commissions or
other remuneration of any kind due to other persons or entities claiming
entitlement to a share of the Commission or any other remuneration under this
Agreement or by virtue of their association with Broker. Broker hereby agrees
to indemnify and hold Client harmless from and against any and all claims,
demands, obligations, liabilities, losses and damages (including, without
limitation, attorney's fees of counsel selected by Client) arising directly or
indirectly out of or in connection with any claim for commissions or other
remuneration of any kind for any person or entity claiming by, through or under
Broker or relating in any way to this Agreement, or Broker's actions or failure
to act pursuant to this Agreement; it being understood and agreed that Client's
liability hereunder shall be limited to
F32
<PAGE>
Non-Exclusive Brokerage Agreement
the payment to Broker of the Commission, if any, owed under the Agreement. In
the event any claims, demands, obligations, liabilities, losses and/or damages
arise in connection with any claim for commissions, fees or other remuneration,
Client may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withhold Commissions otherwise
payable to Broker pending final resolution and may offset against such
Commissions any such claims, demands obligations, liabilities, losses and or
damages. This provision shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
8. Broker shall obtain, pay for and keep in force at all times during the
performance of work pursuant to this Agreement, the following insurance coverage
placed with insurance companies having an A.M. Best rating of A VI or better:
Comprehensive General Liability Insurance, with limit of not less than one
million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence, or Commercial General Liability
--
Insurance with limits of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per
occurrence and two million dollars ($2,000,000) aggregate. Client shall be
added as an additional insured. The policy shall provide such additional
insured with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation, non-renewal or material
change. Any certificates of insurance furnished in accordance with this
Agreement shall specify who has been added as an additional insured and shall
state that the policy has been amended to provide the thirty (30) day advance
notice.

dollars ($1,000,000). Contractor may meet the limits of liability indicated by
means of the use of an umbrella liability policy. Any general liability policy
must be written on an occurrence basis. Owner shall be furnished with
certificates evidencing that all such insurance specified herein is in force
prior to commencement of services provided pursuant to this Agreement.
9. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days'
written notice. In the event of termination by either party, Broker shall be
entitled to receive only that Commission which it has earned pursuant to and in
accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement and Client shall have no further
obligations or liabilities hereunder.
10. Broker's failure or refusal to perform or observe any obligation, covenant,
or condition of this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default. Should an
Event of Default occur, Client may, at its option, terminate this Agreement
without affecting any other remedy which it may have at law or in equity. Such
termination shall be effective immediately upon Broker's receipt of written
notice from Client. In such event, Broker shall be entitled to receive only
that Commission which it has already earned pursuant to and in accordance with
Section 6 of this Agreement, less any and all damages, losses, claims, costs and
expenses incurred or suffered by Client as a result of Broker's failure or
refusal to perform and Client shall have no further
F33
<PAGE>
Non-Exclusive Brokerage Agreement
obligations or liabilities hereunder. Broker will not be entitled to receive
any Commissions on properties that are purchased by Client, unless the purchase
agreement is fully executed before the date of occurrence of an Event of Default
and the conditions precedent to the Client's obligation to pay a Commission set
forth in Section 6 have been met.
11. Client, its directors, employees, officers, agents and shareholders shall
not be personally liable under this Agreement and Broker hereby agrees to look
solely to Client's property, real, personal or otherwise, tangible or
intangible, for payment of any claim hereunder. A similar limitation on
liability shall be inserted in each document executed by Client (if any)
pursuant to this Agreement.

parties at their respective addresses as set forth below and delivered by (i)
hand, (ii) facsimile, (iii) a nationally recognized overnight express courier,

business day in the case of delivery by overnight courier, or (iii) three (3)
business days after mailing the notice in the case of registered or certified
mail. Either party may, at any time, change its Notice address by giving the
