NOTE B - REAL ESTATE ASSETS AND ENCUMBRANCES

  On January 5, 2000, the Trust purchased the 75,000 square foot Greenlawn Plaza
in Greenlawn, New York for $6.2 million, with plans to renovate and expand the
center by 35,000 square feet. On February 16, 2000, control of a parcel of land
for future development in Hillsboro, Oregon was acquired for $11.7 million. An
additional $1.6 million will be owed if certain cash flow criteria are met
during the first ten years of operations. On September 26, 2000, the Trust
purchased an additional property on East Houston Street in San Antonio, Texas
for $1.5 million. With this purchase, the Trust assumed a mortgage with an
outstanding balance of $345,000.

                                       9
<PAGE>

  On January 1, 2000, the Trust issued 190,000 partnership units valued at $3.6
million in exchange for the minority partner's interest in Loehmann's Plaza.

  On April 6, 2000, the Trust converted a note receivable of $5.8 million to a
90% interest in a partnership owning a 30,000 square foot street retail property
in Santa Monica, California valued at $6.3 million. The property is currently
under construction. The Trust has contributed an additional $1.1 million towards
the construction of the property as of September 30, 2000.

  On June 30, 2000, the Trust sold the 296,000 square foot Peninsula Shopping
Center located in Palos Verdes, California for $48.6 million resulting in a gain
of $3.7 million.

  In addition, during the first nine months of 2000, the Trust invested $3.7
million in mortgage notes receivable with an average weighted interest rate of
9.7%.  A mortgage note receivable of $5.9 million, which earned interest at 10%,
was paid off June 23, 2000. An additional mortgage note receivable of $305,000,
which also earned interest at 10%, was paid off on October 13, 2000.


NOTE C - MORTGAGES AND NOTES PAYABLE

  At September 30, 2000, there was $186.3 million borrowed under the Trust's
syndicated credit facility. The maximum drawn during the first nine months of
2000 was $218.1 million.  The weighted average interest rate on borrowings for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was 7.0%.  The facility requires fees
and has various covenants including the maintenance of a minimum shareholders'
equity and a maximum ratio of debt to net worth.

  In June 2000, the Trust modified certain covenants and extended its syndicated
credit facility and its $125 million term loan for an additional year to
December 19, 2003. Fees paid for this extension totaled $1.0 million.

  On January 17, 2000, the Trust's $100 million of 8.875% Notes matured and were
paid with borrowings on the Trust's revolving credit facilities. On February 29,
2000, the Trust obtained a construction loan for up to $24.5 million in
connection with the Trust's Woodmont East development in Bethesda, Maryland. The
loan, which has a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.2% to 1.5%, depending
on occupancy levels, matures August 29, 2002 with two, one-year extension
options. At September 30, 2000, the outstanding balance on the loan was $12.7
million. The property secures the construction loan facility.

  In connection with the land for future development in Hillsboro, Oregon, the
Trust issued a $3.4 million note which was due August 14, 2000. The note has
been extended until June 30, 2001. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.25%.
The property secures the loan facility.

                                       10

The Trust assumed a mortgage with the purchase of the new East Houston Street
property in San Antonio, Texas. The mortgage, which matures in October 2008,
bears interest at 7.5% and provides for monthly principal and interest payments.

  In anticipation of a mortgage placement in the third quarter of 2000, the
Trust purchased a Treasury Yield Hedge (notional amount of $140 million) to
minimize the risk of changes in interest rates. The hedge was terminated on June
30, 2000 at a gain of $165,000 which will be recognized as a reduction of
interest expense over the term of the mortgage.

  On October 23, 2000, the Trust obtained a $152 million mortgage loan which is
secured by five shopping centers, thereby, mitigating its exposure to variable
rate debt and providing funds for its development pipeline. The mortgage, which
bears interest at 7.95%, matures November 1, 2015. The loan provides for
interest only payments for the initial three years, then monthly principal and
interest payments based on a twenty-seven year amortization schedule until the
maturity date. The proceeds from the mortgage loan were used to pay down the
Trust's revolving credit facility. The Trust paid a placement fee of $988,000 to
obtain the mortgage loan.

  In July 2000, citing the Trust's pursuit of development and the resultant
capital requirements, Standard and Poor's lowered the rating on the Trust's
senior notes from BBB+ to BBB flat. Under the terms of the syndicated credit
facility, this lowered rating results in an increase in the Trust's borrowing
rate from LIBOR plus 65 basis points to LIBOR plus 80 basis points. The interest
rate on the term loan increases from LIBOR plus 75 basis points to LIBOR plus 95
basis points.


NOTE D - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

  During the first nine months of 2000, options for 652,500 shares at prices
ranging from $18 to $22 1/16 per share, fair value at the dates of award, were
awarded to certain employees and Trustees of the Trust. The options vest over
three and four year terms.

  In December 1999, the Trustees authorized a share repurchase program of up to
an aggregate of four million of the Trust's common shares. The repurchase
program will end upon the earlier of December 31, 2000 or the date when the
repurchase limit has been met. During the first nine months of 2000, 1,185,400
common shares at a cost of $22.6 million were repurchased bringing the total
purchased under the program as of September 30,2000 to 1,325,900 common shares
at a cost of $25.2 million.

                                       11

NOTE E - INTEREST EXPENSE

  The Trust incurred interest expense totaling $58.5 million during the first
nine months of 2000 and $50.3 million during the first nine months of 1999, of
which $9.0 million and $4.8 million, respectively, was capitalized in connection
with development projects. Interest paid was $56.7 million in the first nine
months of 2000 and $52.9 million in the first nine months of 1999.


NOTE F - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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

  Pursuant to the provisions of the partnership agreement, in the event of the
exercise of put options by another partner, the Trust would be required to
purchase a 37.5% interest of Congressional Plaza at its then fair market value.
Based on management's current estimate of fair market value, the Trust's
estimated liability upon exercise of the put option is approximately $27
million.

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

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

                        FEDERAL REALTY INVESTMENT TRUST
                                   FORM 10-Q

                              September 30, 2000


                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read together with the Consolidated Financial
Statements and Notes thereto.  Certain statements made in this report contain
forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such forward-looking statements involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual
results, performance or achievements of the Trust to be materially different
from the results of operations or plans expressed or implied by such forward-
looking statements.  Such factors include, among others, general economic and
business conditions which will affect credit-worthiness of tenants, financing
availability and cost, retailing trends and rental rates; risks of real estate
development and acquisitions; governmental and environmental regulations; and
competition with other real estate companies and technology. Portions of this
discussion include certain forward-looking statements about the Trust's and
management's intentions and expectations.  Although these intentions and
expectations are based upon reasonable assumptions, many factors, such as
general economic conditions, local and national real estate conditions,
increases in interest rates and operating costs, may cause actual results to
differ materially from current expectations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  Federal Realty meets its liquidity requirements through net cash provided by
operating activities, along with traditional debt and equity funding
alternatives available to it. A significant portion of cash provided by
operating activities is distributed to common and preferred shareholders in the
form of dividends.  Accordingly, capital outlays for property acquisitions,
major renovation and development projects and balloon debt repayments require
debt or equity funding. The Trust also expects proceeds from the sale of
selected assets to provide an additional source of capital in 2000 and 2001.

  Net cash provided by operating activities was $84.8 million in the first nine
months of 2000 and $74.7 million in the first nine months of 1999, of which
$57.6 million and $57.1 million, respectively, was distributed to shareholders.
Contributions from retenanted and redeveloped properties, as more fully
described below, were the primary sources of these increases.

                                       16

  Net cash used in investing activities was $72.2 million during the first nine
months of 2000 and $97.5 million during the first nine months of 1999. The Trust
purchased real estate totaling $26.3 million in the first nine months of 2000
and 1999, requiring cash outlays of $21.0 million and $23.7 million,
respectively. In addition, the Trust purchased 100,000 operating units in the
partnership that owns the Magruders and Courthouse shopping centers in Maryland
from a minority partner for $2.1 million in cash during the first nine months of
2000 and 64,952 operating units in the partnership that owns the Kings Court
shopping center in California from a minority partner for $1.6 million in cash
during the first nine months of 1999. During these two periods, the Trust
expended an additional $98.5 million and $65.0 million, respectively, in capital
improvements to its properties. The Trust invested $3.7 million during the first
nine months of 2000 and $7.2 million during the first nine months of 1999 in
mortgage notes receivable with an average weighted interest rate of 9.7% and
10%, respectively. One mortgage note receivable of $5.9 million, which earned
interest at 10%, was paid off June 23, 2000. An additional mortgage note
receivable of $305,000, which also earned interest at 10%, was paid off on
October 13, 2000. Cash of $47.2 million was received in June 2000 from the sale
of a property.

  On January 5, 2000, the Trust purchased the 75,000 square foot Greenlawn Plaza
in Greenlawn, New York for $6.2 million, with plans to renovate and expand the
center by 35,000 square feet. On February 16, 2000, control of a parcel of land
for future development in Hillsboro, Oregon was acquired for $11.7 million. An
additional $1.6 million will be owed if certain cash flow criteria are met
during the first ten years of operations. On September 26, 2000, the Trust
purchased an additional property on East Houston Street in San Antonio, Texas
for $1.5 million. With this purchase, the Trust assumed a mortgage with an
outstanding balance of $345,000.

  On January 1, 2000, the Trust issued 190,000 partnership units valued at $3.6
million in exchange for the minority partner's interest in Loehmann's Plaza.

  On April 6, 2000, the Trust converted a note receivable of $5.8 million to a
90% interest in a partnership owning a 30,000 square foot street retail property
in Santa Monica, California valued at $6.3 million. The property is currently
under construction. The Trust has contributed an additional $1.1 million towards
the construction of the property as of September 30, 2000.

  On June 30, 2000, the Trust sold the 296,000 square foot Peninsula Shopping
Center located in Palos Verdes, California for $48.6 million resulting in a gain
of $3.7 million.

  Of the $98.5 million spent in the first nine months of 2000 on the Trust's
existing real estate portfolio, approximately $53.1 million was invested in
predevelopment and development projects in Bethesda, Maryland; San Jose,
California; and Arlington, Virginia. The remaining $45.4 million of capital
expenditures relates to

                                       17

improvements to common areas, tenant work and various redevelopments, including
the renovation of Greenlawn Plaza.

  Net cash provided by financing activities, before dividend payments, was $47.0
million in the first nine months of 2000 and $77.8 million in the first nine
months of 1999.  The Trust utilized the proceeds from the sale of Peninsula
Shopping Center, two unsecured borrowings and its unsecured line of credit to
fund acquisitions, capital expenditures and share repurchases in 2000.

  On February 29, 2000, the Trust obtained a construction loan for up to $24.5
million in connection with the Trust's Woodmont East development in Bethesda,
Maryland. The loan, which has a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.2% to
1.5%, depending on occupancy levels, matures August 29, 2002 with two one-year
extension options. At September 30, 2000, the outstanding balance on the loan
was $12.7 million. The property secures the construction loan facility.

  In connection with the land for future development in Hillsboro, Oregon, the
Trust issued a $3.4 million note which was due August 14, 2000. The note has
been extended until June 30, 2001. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.25%.
The property secures the loan facility. The Trust assumed a mortgage with the
purchase of the new East Houston Street property in San Antonio, Texas. The
mortgage, which matures in October 2008, bears interest at 7.5% and provides for
monthly principal and interest payments.

  At September 30, 2000, there was $186.3 million borrowed under the syndicated
credit facility. The maximum drawn during the first nine months of 2000 was
$218.1 million.  The weighted average interest rate on borrowings for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 was 7.0%.  The facility requires fees and has
various covenants, including the maintenance of a minimum shareholders' equity
and a maximum ratio of debt to net worth. In June 2000, the Trust modified
certain covenants and extended its syndicated credit facility and its $125
million term loan for an additional year to December 19, 2003. Fees paid for
this extension totaled $1.0 million.

  On October 23, 2000, the Trust obtained a $152 million mortgage loan which is
secured by five shopping centers, thereby, mitigating its exposure to variable
rate debt and providing funds for its development pipeline. The mortgage, which
bears interest at 7.95%, matures November 1, 2015. The loan provides for
interest only payments for the initial three years, then monthly principal and
interest payments based on a twenty-seven year amortization schedule until the
maturity date. The proceeds from the mortgage loan were used to pay down the
Trust's revolving credit facility. The Trust paid a placement fee of $988,000 to
obtain the mortgage loan.

  In July 2000, citing the Trust's pursuit of development and the resultant
capital requirements, Standard and Poor's lowered the rating on the Trust's
senior notes from BBB+ to BBB flat. Under the terms of the syndicated credit
facility, this lowered rating results in an increase in the Trust's borrowing
rate from LIBOR plus 65 basis

                                       18
<PAGE>

points to LIBOR plus 80 basis points. The interest rate on the term loan
increases from LIBOR plus 75 basis points to LIBOR plus 95 basis points.

  Capital requirements for the remainder of 2000 will depend on  new development
efforts, acquisition opportunities, the level of improvements and redevelopments
on existing properties and the level of common shares that the Trust may
repurchase. The Trust will fund these capital requirements with its syndicated
credit facility.

  Longer term, the Trust will need additional capital in order to fund
acquisitions, expansions and developments, particularly Santana Row. Sources of
this funding may be additional debt, both secured and unsecured; additional
equity; proceeds from the sale of properties; and joint venture relationships.
The timing and choice of capital sources will depend on the cost and
availability of that capital, among other things. The Trust believes, based on
past experience, that access to the capital needed to execute its business plan
will be available to it.

SANTANA ROW

  In the next several years, the Trust's single largest capital need is expected
to come from the development of Santana Row, a multi-phase mixed-use project to
be built on 42 acres in San Jose, California in the heart of Silicon Valley. The
project will consist of residential, retail and hotel properties, creating a
community with the feel of an urban district. Phase 1 of the project, for which
construction is just underway, includes, Santana Row, the "1,500 foot long main
street" framed by nine buildings which will contain approximately 520,000 square
feet of retail space, 497 residential units and a 200 room hotel, as well as the
central utility plant. Phase 1 is expected to begin generating revenue in mid-
2002 and be stabilized within the following year. The total cost of Phase 1,
which includes the land and infrastructure for the later phases, is expected to
be $475 million. As of September 30, 2000, the Trust has incurred $81 million
including the purchase of the land. Site preparation has been completed and
excavation was begun in early October 2000. The Trust is in discussions with
several lenders to secure construction financing for Phase 1. Initial unlevered
returns on Phase 1 of Santana Row are expected to modestly exceed the cost of
construction financing currently estimated in the 8.75% range. There can be no
assurance, however, that either the projected returns or the construction
financing will be obtained.

  The Trust expects that the passage of time and the buildout of later phases
will significantly enhance total returns on the project. Returns on later phases
are expected to surpass the initial returns on Phase 1, since the land and
infrastructure costs of the entire project are included in Phase 1. The ability
to achieve these higher returns both on Phase 1 and on later phases, however,
are dependent on many factors which cannot be assured and are not entirely
within the Trust's control. These factors include among others, continued strong
demand for retail and residential space at current or increasing prices, the
ability to construct the later phases at reasonable prices, the availability of
capital and the general economy, particularly Silicon Valley.

CONTINGENCIES

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

  Pursuant to the provisions of the partnership agreement, in the event of the
exercise of put options by another partner, the Trust would be required to
purchase a 37.5% interest of Congressional Plaza at its then fair market value.
Based on management's current estimate of fair market value, the Trust's
estimated liability upon exercise of the put option is approximately $27
million.

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

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  Net income and funds from operations have been affected by the Trust's recent
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. As of January 1, 2000, the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines funds from
operations as follows: income available for common shareholders before
depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and before extraordinary
items less gains on sale of real estate. Prior to January 1, 2000, funds from
operations also excluded significant nonrecurring events. Funds from operations
does not replace net income as a measure of performance or net cash provided by
operating activities as a measure of liquidity.  Rather, funds from operations
has been adopted by real estate investment trusts to provide a consistent
measure of operating performance in the industry. Nevertheless, funds from
operations, as presented by the Trust, may not be comparable to funds from
operations as presented by other real estate investment trusts.

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

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 and 1999

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

  Rental income, which consists of minimum rent, percentage rent and cost
recoveries, increased 6.4% from $181.1 million in the first nine months of 1999
to $192.6 million in the first nine months of 2000.  If properties acquired,
sold and developed in 2000 and 1999 are excluded, rental income increased 7.7%,
due primarily to the favorable impact of redeveloped and retenanted centers.

  Other property income includes items such as utility reimbursements, telephone
income, merchant association dues, late fees and temporary tenant income.
Other property income remained constant for the first nine months of 2000
compared to 1999. On a same center basis, other property income decreased
$398,000 for the first nine months of 2000 compared to 1999.

  Rental expenses increased 5.1% from $39.1 million in the first nine months of
1999 to $41.1 million in the first nine months of 2000. If rental expenses are
adjusted for properties acquired, sold and developed in 2000 and 1999, rental
expenses increased 6.0% from $36.1 million in 1999 to $38.2 million in 2000,
primarily due to increased snow removal and utility costs in 2000. Rental
expense as a percentage of property income remained constant in both periods at
21%.

  Real estate taxes increased 7.5% from $18.3 million in the first nine months
of 1999 to $19.7 million in the first nine months of 2000. If real estate taxes
are adjusted for properties acquired, sold and developed in 2000 and 1999, real
estate taxes increased 7.4% due primarily to increased taxes on recently
redeveloped properties.

  Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 5.7% from $37.3 million in
the first nine months of 1999 to $39.4 million in the first nine months of 2000
reflecting the impact of recent tenant work and property improvements.

  During the first nine months of 2000, the Trust incurred interest expense of
$58.5 million, of which $9.0 million was capitalized, as compared to 1999's
$50.3 million, of which $4.8 million was capitalized. The increase in interest
expense reflects the additional debt issued to fund the Trust's share repurchase
and capital improvement programs.   The ratio of earnings to combined fixed
charges and preferred dividends was 1.43x and 1.54x for the first nine months of
2000 and 1999, respectively.  The ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 1.6x
and 1.7x during the first nine months of 2000 and 1999, respectively.  The ratio
of funds from operations to combined fixed charges and preferred dividends was
2.0x for the first nine months of 2000 and 2.2x for the first nine months of
1999.

  Administrative expenses decreased from $10.9 million in the

                                       22
<PAGE>

first nine months of 1999 to $9.0 million in the first nine months of 2000.
During the third quarter of 1999 the Trust recorded a $2.5 million charge
related to a terminated merger transaction. The decrease in these costs was
offset by increased personnel costs. The tight labor market in the Trust's
operating regions resulted in higher compensation costs both to existing and new
employees.

  On June 30, 2000, the Trust sold the 296,000 square foot Peninsula Shopping
Center located in Palos Verdes, California for $48.6 million resulting in a gain
of $3.7 million. During the second quarter of 1999, the Trust recorded a $7.1
million charge, representing the estimated loss on a potential sale of certain
assets, principally Northeast Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia, thereby valuing the
assets at their estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. On October
18, 1999, the Trust sold Northeast Plaza for $19.6 million, realizing a loss of
$6.3 million.

  As a result of the foregoing items, net income before gain (loss) on the sale
of real estate increased from $41.6 million in the first nine months of 1999 to
$43.0 million in the first nine months of 2000, while net income increased from
$34.6 million during the first nine months of 1999 to $46.6 million during the
first nine months of 2000 and net income available for common shareholders
increased from $28.6 million to $40.7 million.

  The Trust expects growth in net income and funds from operations during the
fourth quarter of 2000 to be consistent with that of the first three quarters.
The growth in the remainder of 2000 will continue to be primarily dependent on
contributions from the core portfolio. Growth of net income from the core
portfolio is, in part, dependent on controlling expenses, some of which are
beyond the complete control of the Trust, such as snow removal and trends in the
retailing environment, such as the evolution of the Internet and demand for
retail space. The Trust currently expects that demand for its retail space
should remain at its current levels. A weakening of the retail environment
could, however, adversely impact the Trust by increasing vacancies and
decreasing rents. In past weak retail and real estate environments, the Trust
has been able to replace weak and bankrupt tenants with stronger tenants;
management believes that due to the quality of the Trust's properties there will
continue to be demand for its space. Growth in net income and funds from
operations in 2001 is expected to be slower than in 2000, due in part, to higher
interest rates and higher administrative costs, which offset the positive impact
of the Bethesda and Pentagon new developments.

  Growth in net income is also dependent on the amount of leverage and interest
rates. The Trust's leverage is increasing as it finances its development
pipeline. In addition, the Trust will continue to have exposure to changes in
market interest rates. As interest rates increase, net income and funds from
operations, as well as the ultimate cost of the Trust's development projects
will be negatively impacted due to the variable interest rates on the Trust's
revolving

The Northeast
--------------

  The Northeast region is comprised of fifty-four assets,  extending from
suburban Philadelphia north through New York and its suburbs into New England
and west to Illinois and Michigan.


  When comparing the first nine months of 2000 with 1999, rental income
increased 11.1% from $75.6 million in 1999 to $84.0 million in 2000.  Excluding
properties acquired since January 1, 1999, on a same center basis, rental income
increased 10.5%, primarily due to increases at recently redeveloped and
retenanted shopping centers, such as Bala Cynwyd, Lawrence Park, Gratiot,
Langhorne Square and Wynnewood.

  Net operating income increased 7.3% from $55.3 million in 1999 to $59.3
million in 2000.  Excluding properties acquired since January 1, 1999, net
operating income increased 6.8%, primarily due to increases at the recently
redeveloped and retenanted shopping centers.

The Mid-Atlantic
----------------

  The Mid-Atlantic region is comprised of thirty assets, located from
Baltimore south to metropolitan Washington, D.C. and

                                       24

further south through Virginia, North Carolina and Florida.

  When comparing the first nine months of 2000 with 1999, rental income
increased 1.5% from $82.7 million in 1999 to $84.0 million in 2000. On a same
center basis, excluding Northeast Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia which was sold in
1999 and the recently developed Phase 3 of the Bethesda Row project in Bethesda,
Maryland, rental income increased 3.3%, due in part to new anchor leases at
several centers.

  When comparing the first nine months of 2000 with 1999, net operating income
increased 2.8% from $60.5 million in 1999 to $62.2 million in 2000. On the same
center basis as above net operating income increased 4.5%, due primarily to the
new anchor leases and lease termination fees.

The West
--------

  The Western region is comprised of thirty-eight assets, located from Texas to
the West Coast.

  When comparing the first nine months of 2000 with 1999, rental income
increased 8.2% from $22.8 million in 1999 to $24.6 million in 2000. Excluding
newly developed properties, Santana Row, which is currently under development,
and properties acquired and sold since January 1, 1999, rental income increased
18.5%, due primarily to recently redeveloped and retenanted properties in the
Los Angeles and San Francisco, California areas.

  When comparing the first nine months of 2000 with 1999, net operating income
increased 14.9% from $16.1 million in 1999 to $18.5 million in 2000.  Excluding
newly developed properties, Santana Row, which is currently under development,
and properties acquired and sold since January 1, 1999, net operating income
increased 31.7%, due to increases from the recently redeveloped and retenanted
properties as mentioned above.

Other property income decreased 19.9% from $3.3 million in the third quarter of
1999 to $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2000 due primarily to a decrease in
lease termination fees.

  Rental expenses remained constant at $13.0 million in the third quarter of
1999 and 2000.  If rental expenses are adjusted for properties acquired, sold
and developed in 2000 and 1999, rental expenses increased 4.2% from $11.8
million in 1999 to $12.3 million in 2000. Rental expense as a percentage of
property income remained constant in both periods at 20%.

  Real estate taxes increased 4.1% from $6.5 million in the third quarter of
1999 to $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2000. If real estate taxes are
adjusted for properties acquired, sold and developed in 2000 and 1999, real
estate taxes increased 4.5% due primarily to increased taxes on recently
redeveloped properties.

  Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 8.6% from $12.4 million in
the third quarter of 1999 to $13.4 million in the third quarter of 2000
reflecting the impact of recent tenant work and property improvements.

  During the third quarter of 2000, the Trust incurred interest expense of $19.8
million, of which $3.8 million was capitalized, as compared to 1999's $17.0
million, of which $2.0 million was capitalized.  The increase in interest
expense reflects the additional debt issued to fund the Trust's share repurchase
and capital improvement programs.

  Administrative expenses decreased from $5.5 million in the third quarter of
1999 to $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2000. During the third quarter of
1999, the Trust recorded a $2.5 million charge related to a terminated merger
transaction. The decrease in these costs was offset by increased personnel
costs. The tight labor market in the Trust's operating regions resulted in
higher compensation costs both to existing and new employees.

  As a result of the foregoing items, net income increased from

The Northeast
--------------

  The Northeast region is comprised of fifty-four assets,  extending from
suburban Philadelphia north through New York and its suburbs into New England
and west to Illinois and Michigan.

  When comparing the third quarter of 2000 with 1999, rental income increased
12.7% from $25.7 million in 1999 to $28.9 million in 2000.  Excluding properties
acquired since January 1, 1999, on a same center basis, rental income increased
11.6%, primarily due to increases at recently redeveloped and retenanted
shopping centers, such as Bala Cynwyd, Lawrence Park, Gratiot, Langhorne Square
and Wynnewood.

  Net operating income increased 7.9% from $19.5 million in 1999 to $21.0
million in 2000. Excluding properties acquired since January 1, 1999, net
operating income increased 6.8%, primarily due to increases at the recently
redeveloped and retenanted shopping centers.

Baltimore south to metropolitan Washington, D.C. and further south through

constant at $28.2 million. On a same center basis, excluding Northeast Plaza in
Atlanta, Georgia which was sold in 1999 and the recently developed Phase 3 of
the Bethesda Row project in Bethesda, Maryland, rental income increased 1.6%,
due in part to new anchor leases at several centers offset by vacancies at
centers being renovated.

  When comparing the third quarter of 2000 with 1999, net operating income
remained constant at $20.7 million. On a same center basis as above, net
operating income increased 2.4%, due primarily to the new anchor leases offset
by vacancies at centers being renovated.

the West Coast.

  When comparing the third quarter of 2000 with 1999, rental income decreased

developed properties, Santana Row, which is currently under development, and

16.0% due primarily to recently redeveloped and retenanted properties in the Los
Angeles and San Francisco, California areas.

  When comparing the third quarter of 2000 with 1999, net operating income
decreased 8.5% from $5.7 million in 1999 to $5.2 million in 2000.  Excluding
newly developed properties, Santana Row, which is currently under development,
and properties acquired and sold since January 1, 1999, net operating income
