                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997
                                     (Unaudited)
                                           

1.   Organization and Nature of Operations

     Royale Investments, Inc. (the "Company"), a Minnesota corporation, was
     formed in 1988, to acquire a portfolio of income-producing commercial real
     estate properties.  The Company has elected to qualify as a real estate
     investment trust ("REIT") under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue
     Code and intends to remain so qualified.
     
     As of September 30, 1997, the Company's portfolio was comprised of seven
     properties leased to operators of seven major retail food stores under
     long-term operating lease agreements.  The leases have initial terms of 17
     to 20 years and expire between 2006 and 2014.
     
     Subsequent to September 30, 1997, the Company closed on the acquisition 
     of a portfolio of 10 properties, representing the Mid-Atlantic suburban 
     office operations of The Shidler Group, a national real estate 
     investment firm (the "Shidler Acquisition Properties").  In the 
     transactions (the "Shidler Transactions"), the Company became the sole 
     general partner of and obtained a 20.6946% interest in FCO, L.P. 
     ("FCO"), an operating partnership formed to acquire and hold the Shidler 
     Acquisition Properties (See Note 5).
     
2.   General
     
     Basis of Presentation
     
     The financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit,
     pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
     Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
     in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
     and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are
     adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  In the opinion
     of the Company, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring
     matters) necessary to fairly present the financial position of the Company
     as of September 30, 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash
     flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 have
     been included.  The results of operations for such interim periods are not
     necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.  For further
     information refer to the Company's financial statements and footnotes
     thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K (as amended by Form
     10-K/A) for the year ended December 31, 1996.

     Capitalization of Costs
     
     As of September 30, 1997, the Company had incurred $118,931 in costs
     associated with its pursuit of the Shidler Acquisition Properties.  Such
     costs are included in deferred costs and other assets on the Company's
     balance sheet as of September 30, 1997.

     Net Income Per Common Share
     
     Net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of 
     common shares ("Common Shares") outstanding adjusted to give effect to 
     common share equivalents.  In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting 
     Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which is 
     effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 
     1997.  At that time, the Company will be required to change the method 
     currently used to compute and disclose earnings per share and to restate 
     all prior periods. The impact of Statement No. 128 on the calculation of 
     primary and fully diluted earnings per share for the interim periods 
     presented is not expected to be material.

     Reclassifications

     Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to 
     the current presentation.
          
3.   Line of Credit
          
     On April 10, 1997, the Company obtained a revolving credit agreement 
     with a bank whereby the Company can borrow up to $100,000 at an annual 
     interest rate equal to prime.  Interest is payable monthly with the 
     principal due April 10, 1998.  At September 30, 1997, no amounts were 
     borrowed against the note.
          
4.   Dividends
          
     On September 25, 1997, the Company declared a cash dividend of $.125 
     per common share payable on October 17, 1997, to stockholders of record 
     as of September 30, 1997.
          
5.   Subsequent Events

     On October 14, 1997, the Company closed on the acquisition of the Shidler
     Acquisition Properties.  As a result of the Shidler Transactions, the
     Company became the sole general partner of and obtained a 20.6946% interest
     in FCO, an operating partnership formed to acquire and hold the Shidler
     Acquisition Properties.  

     The Shidler Acquisition Properties were acquired subject to mortgage 
     indebtedness of $100 million. The loan is a non-recourse mortgage loan 
     collateralized by the real estate assets of the Shidler Acquisition 
     Properties.  The loan provides for monthly payments of interest only at 
     a fixed rate of 7.5% per annum.  The loan matures on October 13, 2000 
     and provides for two one-year extension options, subject to certain 
     conditions.  

     In connection with the Shidler Transactions, the Company issued 600,000 
     Common Shares (valued at $5.50 per share, aggregate of $3.3 million) and 
     FCO issued approximately 3.2 million common partnership units ("Common 
     Units") (valued at $5.50 per unit, aggregate of $17.5 million) and 2.1 
     million preferred partnership units ("Preferred Units") (valued at 
     $25.00 per unit, aggregate of $52.5 million).  The Preferred Units may 
     be converted, on or after, October 1, 1999, into 3.5714 Common Units for 
     each Preferred Unit. Subject to certain conditions, beginning on 
     September 1, 1998, Common Units are convertible into one Common Share 
     (or an equivalent cash value, at the sole discretion of the Company) for 
     each Common Unit. Certain Common Units and Preferred Units contain 
     certain restrictions through November 2000.

     Concurrently with the Shidler Transactions, the Company issued 273,729
     Common Shares (valued at $5.50 per share, aggregate of $1.5 million) in
     exchange for the assets of Crown Advisors, Inc. ("Crown"), an affiliate of
     the Company, previously acting as investment advisor to the Company and
     assisting in the management operations.  The contract between Crown and the
     Company was terminated and the Company entered into a property management
     agreement with Glacier Realty, LLC ("Glacier"), all of the interests in
     which are owned by two current officers of the Company, one of whom is also
     a current director.  Further, the Company retired 27,646 Common Shares
     previously held by Crown at the time it was acquired.

     The property management agreement with Glacier provides for Glacier to
     manage the seven net lease retail assets of Royale for a term of five years
     with a minimum fee of $250,000 per annum.

         Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                              and Results of Operations
                                           
This Form 10-QSB contains forward looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.  The words "believe", "expect", anticipate", "intend",
"estimate" and other expressions which are predictions of or indicate future
events and trends and which do not relate to historical matters identify
forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results could differ materially
from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.  Certain factors that
might cause such a difference include the following:  real estate investment
considerations, such as the effect of economic and other conditions in the
market area on cash flows and values; the need to renew leases or relet space
upon the expiration of current leases; the ability of a property to generate
revenues sufficient to meet debt service payments and other operating expenses;
and risks associated with borrowings, such as the possibility that the Company
will not have sufficient funds available to make principal payments on
outstanding debt or outstanding debt may be refinanced at higher interest rates
or otherwise on terms less favorable to the Company.

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial
statements and notes thereto.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and September 30,
1996
              
During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the
Company owned and leased seven properties in five states to operators of retail
food stores.

Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, was $85,050
and $263,108 respectively, as compared to net income of $88,803 and $213,920 for
the corresponding periods in 1996.  The increase in net income for the nine
month period is primarily due to improved operating results of the Company's
properties as a result of scheduled rent increases and reduced mortgage interest
as a result of declining principal balances. 

Revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997,
increased by 1.5% and 1.6%, respectively, over the comparable periods of 1996,
due to scheduled increases in rental income, which was partially offset by
decreases in interest income.  The impact of the straight-line rent adjustment
increased revenues by $49,915 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, and
by $49,915 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. 

Expenses during the quarter ended September 30, 1997, increased by 2.4%, as
compared to the corresponding period in 1996.  Expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, decreased by 1.2%, compared to the corresponding
period in 1996.  The decrease in expenses for the nine month period is primarily
the result of decreased mortgage interest due to declining principal balances
and decreased operations and management expenses primarily due to the
reimbursement of certain fees which the Company is obligated to make in
connection with its lease guarantees on two of the Company's properties.  This
decrease in expenses was offset, in part, by an increase in administrative and
general expenses primarily attributable to public filing costs.

Statement of Cash Flows

During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, and September 30, 1996, the
Company generated $613,097 and $551,794, respectively, in cash flow from
operating activities.  The increase is primarily the result of scheduled
increases in rental income and timing differences in receipts and disbursements
from year to year.

Net cash provided by investing activities increased to $368,069 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, as compared to $63,728 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996.  This increase is primarily a result of the Company's
change from investing excess cash balances in U.S. Treasury Bills with
maturities of six months, to investing excess cash balances in cash equivalents
with maturities of 30 days or less.
 
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $742,485 and $729,693 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, 

                                    Page 8

<PAGE>


and September 30, 1996, respectively.  The increased use is wholly due to
increased mortgage amortization.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company believes that its cash flow from operations is adequate to fund its
short-term liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future.  The Company's
properties are all leased on a triple-net basis, which places the risk of rising
property costs, such as maintenance, insurance and property taxes, on the
tenant.  The leases generally provide that the tenant is also responsible for
roof and structural repairs.  Cash flow from operations is generated primarily
from rental revenues and operating expense reimbursements from tenants and
interest income earned on the Company's cash investments.  The Company intends
to use its cash funds to meet its principal short-term liquidity needs which are
to fund operations and management, and general and administrative expenses, debt
service requirements and the minimum distribution to shareholders required to
maintain the Company's REIT qualifications under the Internal Revenue Code.

For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company declared distributions
totaling $0.125 per Common Share amounting to $177,500.

          
Funds From Operations

Management generally considers Funds from Operations ("FFO") as one measure of
REIT performance.  The Company has adopted the NAREIT definition of FFO and has
used this definition for all periods presented in the financial statements
included herein.  FFO is calculated as net income (loss) adjusted for
depreciation expense attributable to real property, amortization expense
attributable to capitalized leasing costs, gains on sales of real estate
investments and extraordinary and non-recurring items.  FFO should not be
considered an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's
performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, and September 30,
1996, is summarized in the following table:

Subsequent Events
   
     As reported on Current Form 8-K dated October 28, 1997, on October 14,
1997, the Company closed on the acquisition of the Shidler Acquisition
Properties.  As a result of the Shidler Transactions, the Company became the
sole general partner of and obtained a 20.6946% interest in FCO, an operating
partnership formed to acquire and hold the Shidler Acquisition Properties.  

                                    Page 9

<PAGE>

The Shidler Acquisition Properties were acquired subject to mortgage 
indebtedness of $100 million. The loan is a non-recourse mortgage loan 
collateralized by the real estate assets of the Shidler Acquisition 
Properties. The loan provides for monthly payments of interest only at a 
fixed rate of 7.5% per annum.  The loan matures on October 13, 2000 and 
provides for two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions.

In connection with the Shidler Transactions, the Company issued 600,000 
Common Shares (valued at $5.50 per share, aggregate of $3.3 million) and FCO 
issued approximately 3.2 million Common Units (valued at $5.50 per unit, 
aggregate of $17.5 million) and 2.1 million Preferred Units (valued at $25.00 
per unit, aggregate of $52.5 million).  The Preferred Units may be converted, 
on or after, October 1, 1999, into 3.5714 Common Units for each Preferred 
Unit.  Subject to certain conditions, beginning on September 1, 1998, Common 
Units are convertible into one Common Share (or an equivalent cash value, at 
the sole discretion of the Company) for each Common Unit. Certain Common 
Units and Preferred Units contain certain restrictions through November 2000.

Concurrently with the Shidler Transactions, the Company issued 273,729 Common 
Shares (valued at $5.50 per share, aggregate of $1.5 million) in exchange for 
the assets of Crown, an affiliate of the Company, previously acting as 
investment advisor to the Company and assisting in the management operations. 
The contract between Crown and the Company was terminated and the Company 
entered into a property management agreement with Glacier, all of the 
interests in which are owned by two current officers of the Company, one of 
whom is also a current director.  Further, the Company retired 27,646 Common 
Shares previously held by Crown at the time it was acquired.

The property management agreement with Glacier provides for Glacier to manage 
the seven net lease retail assets of Royale for a term of five years with a 
minimum fee of $250,000 per annum.
