Note 1 Organization

      Corporate Office Properties Trust ("COPT") and subsidiaries (the
"Company") is a fully integrated and self-managed real estate investment trust
("REIT"). We focus principally on the ownership, management, leasing,
acquisition and development of suburban office properties located in select
submarkets in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. COPT is qualified as
a REIT as defined in the Internal Revenue Code and is the successor to a
corporation organized in 1988. As of September 30, 2000, our portfolio included
81 office properties and one retail property.

      We conduct almost all of our operations principally through our operating
partnership, Corporate Office Properties, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"),
for which we are the managing general partner. The Operating Partnership owns
real estate both directly and through subsidiary partnerships and limited
liability companies ("LLCs"). The Operating Partnership also owns the principal
economic interest and, collectively with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Operating Officer, 49.5% of the voting stock of Corporate Office Management,
Inc. ("COMI") (together with its subsidiaries defined as the "Service
Companies"). A summary of our Operating Partnership's forms of ownership and the
percentage of those ownership forms owned by COPT as of September 30, 2000
follows:

                                           % Owned by
                                              COPT
                                           ----------
      Common Units                            66%
      Series A Preferred Units               100%
      Series B Preferred Units               100%
      Series C Preferred Units                 0%

Note 2 Basis of Presentation

      These notes to our interim financial statements highlight significant
changes to the notes to the financial statements included in our 1999 Form 10-K.
As a result, these notes to our interim financial statements should be read
together with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our 1999
Form 10-K. The interim financial statements on the previous pages reflect all
adjustments which we believe are necessary for the fair presentation of our
financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.
These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations
for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a
full year.

      We use three different accounting methods to report our investments in
entities: the consolidation method, the equity method and the cost method.

Consolidation Method

      We use the consolidation method when we own most of the outstanding voting
interests in an entity and can control its operations. This means the accounts
of the entity are combined with our accounts. We eliminate balances and
transactions between companies when we consolidate these accounts. Our
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of:

o     COPT,
o     the Operating Partnership and its subsidiary partnerships and LLCs, and
o     Corporate Office Properties Holdings, Inc. (we own 100%).


                                       6
<PAGE>

Equity Method

      We use the equity method of accounting when we own an interest in an
entity and can exert significant influence over the entity's operations but
cannot control the entity's operations. Under the equity method, we report:

o     our ownership interest in the entity's capital as an investment on our
      Consolidated Balance Sheets and
o     our percentage share of the earnings or losses from the entity in our
      Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Cost Method

      We use the cost method of accounting when we own an interest in an entity
and cannot exert significant influence over the entity's operations. Under the
cost method, we report:

o     the cost of our investment in the entity as an investment on our
      Consolidated Balance Sheets and
o     distributions to us of the entity's earnings in our Consolidated
      Statements of Operations.

Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

      We make estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements
under generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions
affect various matters, including:

o     our reported amounts of assets and liabilities in our Consolidated Balance
      Sheets at the dates of the financial statements,
o     our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the
      financial statements, and
o     our reported amounts of revenues and expenses in our Consolidated
      Statements of Operations during the reporting periods.

      These estimates involve judgements with respect to, among other things,
future economic factors that are difficult to predict and are often beyond
management's control. As a result, actual amounts could differ from these
estimates.

Minority Interests

      As discussed previously, we consolidate the accounts of our Operating
Partnership into our financial statements. However, we do not own 100% of the
Operating Partnership. Our Operating Partnership also does not own 11% of one of
its subsidiary partnerships. The amounts reported for minority interests on our
Consolidated Balance Sheets represent the portion of these consolidated
entities' equity that we do not own. The amounts reported for minority interests
on our Consolidated Statements of Operations represent the portion of these
consolidated entities' net income not allocated to us.

      Common Units of the Operating Partnership ("Common Units") are
substantially similar economically to our Common Shares of beneficial interest
("Common Shares"). Common Units are also exchangeable into our Common Shares,
subject to certain conditions.


                                       7
<PAGE>

      Our Operating Partnership issued 974,662 Series C Preferred Units in
connection with a property acquisition in December 1999. Our Operating
Partnership issued 42,000 additional Series C Preferred Units on July 1, 2000 in
connection with the cancellation of ten-year detachable warrants exercisable for
an additional number of Common Units. Owners of these units are entitled to a
priority annual return equal to 9% of their liquidation preference through
December 20, 2009 , 10.5% for the five following years and 12% thereafter. These
units are convertible, subject to certain restrictions, commencing December 21,
2000 into Common Units in the Operating Partnership on the basis of 2.381 Common
Units for each Series C Preferred Unit, plus any accrued return. The Common
Units would then be exchangeable for Common Shares, subject to certain
conditions.

      Our Operating Partnership issued 2,100,000 preferred units in connection
with an October 1997 property acquisition (the "Initial Preferred Units"). These
units were converted into Common Units on the basis of 3.5714 Common Units for
each Initial Preferred Unit in October 1999. Prior to converting these units,
owners were entitled to a priority annual return equal to 6.5% of their
liquidation preference.

Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

      We present both basic and diluted EPS. We compute basic EPS by dividing
income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of Common
Shares outstanding during the period. Our computation of diluted EPS is similar
except that:

o     the denominator is increased to include the weighted average number of
      potential additional Common Shares that would have been outstanding if
      securities that are convertible into our Common Shares were converted and
o     the numerator is adjusted to add back any convertible preferred dividends
      and any other changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed
      conversion into Common Shares.

Our computation of diluted EPS does not assume conversion of securities into our
Common Shares if conversion of those securities would increase our diluted EPS
in a given period. A summary of the numerator and denominator for purposes of
our basic and diluted EPS calculations is as follows (dollars and shares in
thousands):

      Our diluted EPS computation for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
only assumes conversion of share options and Common Unit warrants because
conversions of Preferred Units, Series A Preferred Shares and Common Units would

Reclassification

      We reclassified certain amounts from prior periods to conform to the
current period presentation of our consolidated financial statements. These
reclassifications did not affect consolidated net income or shareholders'
equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

      In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."
SFAS No. 133 and related amendments establish accounting and reporting standards
for derivative financial instruments and for hedging activities. It requires
that an entity recognize all derivatives as assets or liabilities in the balance
sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of
derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive
income depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge
transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. We plan to adopt these
standards beginning January 1, 2001. As of September 30, 2000, we were
evaluating the impact of the adoption of these standards on our financial
position and results of operations.

      Effective July 1, 2000, the FASB issued FIN No. 44, "Accounting for
Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation." FIN No. 44 clarifies the
application of the Accounting Principle Board's Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" for certain issues, including the definition of the
term "employee", the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a
noncompensatory plan, the accounting consequence of various modifications to
previous issuances and the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation
awards in a business compensation. We adopted FIN No. 44 effective July 1, 2000.
The primary impact of our adoption of this Interpretation is that we and the
Service Companies recognize additional expenses from share options issued to
employees for the following:

o     the share price appreciation and future vesting relating to share options
      that were repriced in 1999, and
o     the issuance of share options to employees of CRM and MGK (all defined in
      Note 7).

Our adoption of this Interpretation resulted in a $65 increase in general and
administrative expenses and $31 decrease in our equity in income of the Service
Companies during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2000.

Note 12 Information by Business Segment

      We have five segments: Baltimore/Washington Corridor office, Greater
Philadelphia office, Northern/Central New Jersey office, Greater Harrisburg
office and retail. Our office properties represent our core-business. We manage
our retail properties as a single segment since they are considered outside of
our core-business.

      The table below reports segment financial information. Our retail segment
is not separately reported since it does not meet the reporting thresholds. We
measure the performance of our segments based on total revenues less property
operating expenses. Accordingly, we do not report other expenses by segment in
the table below.

      We did not allocate gain on sales of rental properties, interest expense,
amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation and other amortization
to segments since they are not included in the measure of segment profit
reviewed by management. We also did not allocate equity in (loss) income of
Service Companies, general and administrative and minority interests since these
items represent general corporate items not attributable to segments.

Note 13 Commitments and Contingencies

      In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal actions arising
from our ownership and administration of properties. In management's opinion,
any liabilities that may result are not expected to have a materially adverse
effect on our financial position, operations or liquidity. We are subject to
various federal, state and local environmental regulations related to our
property ownership and operation. We have performed environment assessments of
our properties the results of which have not revealed any environmental
liability that we believe would have a materially adverse effect on our
financial position, operations or liquidity.

Note 14 Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)

      We accounted for our 1999 and 2000 acquisitions using the purchase method
of accounting. We included the results of operations for the acquisitions in our
Consolidated Statements of Operations from their respective purchase dates
through September 30, 2000.


                                       15
<PAGE>

      We prepared the pro forma condensed consolidated financial information
presented below as if all of our 1999 and 2000 acquisitions and dispositions had
occurred on January 1, 1999. Accordingly, we were required to make pro forma
adjustments where deemed necessary. The pro forma financial information is
unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of the results which actually would
have occurred if these acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1999, nor does it
intend to represent our results of operations for future periods.

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

      In this section, we discuss our financial condition and results of
operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2000. This
section includes discussions on:

o     why various components of our Consolidated Statements of Operations
      changed for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to
      the same periods in 1999,
o     what our primary sources and uses of cash were in the nine months ended
      September 30, 2000,
o     how we raised cash for acquisitions and other capital expenditures during
      the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
o     how we intend to generate cash for future capital expenditures, and
o     the computation of our funds from operations.

      You should refer to our consolidated financial statements and accompanying
notes and operating data variance analysis set forth below as you read this
section.

      This section contains "forward-looking" statements, as defined in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on our current
expectations, estimates and projections about future events and financial trends
affecting the financial condition of our business. Statements that are not
historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are
forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future
performance, events or results and involve potential risks and uncertainties.
Accordingly, actual results may differ materially. We undertake no obligation to
publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.

      Important facts that may affect these expectations, estimates or
projections include, but are not limited to: our ability to borrow on favorable
terms; general economic and business conditions, which will, among other things,
affect office property demand and rents, tenant creditworthiness and financing
availability; interest rates; adverse changes in the real estate markets
including, among other things, competition with other companies; risks of real
estate acquisition and development; governmental actions and initiatives and
environmental requirements.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

      Our total revenues increased $7.6 million or 37%, of which $6.5 million
was generated by rental revenue and $1.1 million by tenant recoveries and other
revenue. Included in this change is the following:

      o     $6.9 million increase attributable to 17 properties acquired and
            five newly-constructed properties placed in service since July 1,
            1999.
      o     $733,000 increase attributable to 58 office properties owned
            throughout both reporting periods due mostly to increases in rental
            rates on renewed space, additional lease termination revenue and
            steady occupancy.
      o     $132,000 decrease attributable to properties sold since July 1,
            1999.

      Our total expenses increased $6.9 million or 46% due to the effects of the
increases in property operating, interest expense and amortization of deferred
financing costs, depreciation and other amortization and general and
administrative expenses described below.

      Our property operating expenses increased $2.0 million or 33%. Included in
this change is the following:

      o     $1.9 million increase attributable to 17 properties acquired and
            five newly-constructed properties placed in service since July 1,
            1999.
      o     $115,000 increase attributable to 58 office properties owned
            throughout both reporting periods.

      Our interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs
increased $3.0 million or 59% due to a 46% increase in our average outstanding
debt balance resulting from our 1999 and 2000 acquisitions and construction
activity and an increase in interest rates on our variable rate and refinanced
debt. Our depreciation and other amortization expense increased $1.2 million or
39%, $1.1 million of which is attributable to 17 properties acquired and five
newly-constructed properties placed in service since July 1, 1999. Our general
and administrative expenses increased $688,000 or 109% due mostly to our
responsibility for an increased percentage of COMI's personnel and overhead
related expenses in the current period.

      As a result of the above factors, income before minority interests and
extraordinary item increased by $575,000 or 10%. The amounts reported for
minority interests on our Consolidated Statements of Operations represent
primarily the portion of the Operating Partnership's net income not allocated to
us. Our income allocation to minority interests increased $827,000 or 57% due to
the increase in the Operating Partnership's net income combined with a higher
percentage ownership by minority interests during the current period.

      The factors discussed above combined with a $109,000 increase in
extraordinary losses collectively resulted in a $361,000 decrease in net income.
There was a $279,000 decrease in Preferred Share dividends resulting mostly from
the absence of dividends on the Series A Preferred Share converted into Common
Shares in September 2000 . As a result of all of the above, net income available
to Common Shareholders decreased $82,000 or 3%.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

      Our total revenues increased $21.8 million or 37%, of which $18.2 million
was generated by rental revenue and $3.6 million by tenant recoveries and other
revenue. Included in this change is the following:

      o     $19.4 million increase attributable to 29 properties acquired and
            five newly-constructed properties placed in service since January 1,
            1999.
      o     $2.7 million increase attributable to 46 office properties owned
            throughout both reporting periods due mostly to increases in rental
            rates on renewed space, additional lease termination revenue and
            steady occupancy.
      o     $885,000 decrease attributable to properties sold since January 1,
            1999.

<PAGE>

      Our total expenses increased $18.9 million or 43% due to the effects of
the increases in property operating, interest expense and amortization of
deferred financing costs, depreciation and other amortization and general and
administrative expenses described below.

      Our property operating expenses increased $6.7 million or 40%. Included in
this change is the following:

      o     $5.4 million increase attributable to 29 properties acquired and
            five newly-constructed properties placed in service since January 1,
            1999.
      o     $1.2 million increase attributable to 46 office properties owned
            throughout both reporting periods, $540,000 of which is due to
            increased snow removal costs.
      o     $152,000 decrease attributable to properties sold since January 1,
            1999.

      Our interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs
increased $7.0 million or 44% due to a 41% increase in our average outstanding
debt balance resulting from our 1999 and 2000 acquisitions and construction
activity and an increase in interest rates on our variable rate and refinanced
debt. Our depreciation and other amortization expense increased $3.7 million or
42%, $3.1 million of which is attributable to 29 properties acquired and five
newly-constructed properties placed in service since January 1, 1999. Our
general and administrative expenses increased $1.5 million or 65% due mostly to
our responsibility for an increased percentage of COMI's personnel and overhead
related expenses in the current period.

      Our income before minority interests and extraordinary item also includes
a $1.1 million decrease in our gain realized on the sales of rental properties.

      As a result of the above factors, income before minority interests and
extraordinary item increased by $1.4 million or 9%. Our income allocation to
minority interests increased $2.2 million or 51% due to the increase in the
Operating Partnership's net income combined with a higher percentage ownership
by minority interests during the current period.

      The factors discussed above combined with a $687,000 decrease in
extraordinary losses on early retirement of debt collectively resulted in a
$102,000 decrease in net income. There was a $1.3 million increase in Preferred
Share dividends resulting mostly from the Series B Preferred Share issuance in
July 1999, offset somewhat by the absence of dividends on the Series A Preferred
Shares converted into Common Shares in September 2000. As a result of all of the
above, net income available to Common Shareholders decreased $1.4 million or
15%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capitalization and Liquidity

      Cash provided from operations represented our primary source of liquidity
to fund dividends and distributions, pay debt service and fund working capital
requirements. We expect to continue to use cash provided by operations to meet
our short-term capital needs, including all property expenses, general and
administrative expenses, debt service, distribution requirements and recurring
capital improvements and leasing commissions. We do not anticipate borrowing to
meet these requirements.

      We historically have financed our property acquisitions using a
combination of borrowings secured by our properties, proceeds from the sales of
properties and the equity issuances of Common and Preferred Units in our
Operating Partnership and Common and Preferred Shares. We use our secured
revolving credit facility with Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown (the "Revolving Credit
Facility") to finance much of our investing and financing activities. We pay
down our Revolving Credit Facility using proceeds from long-term borrowings
collateralized by our properties as attractive financing conditions arise and
equity issuances as attractive equity market conditions arise. We also have a
$50.0 million line of credit with Prudential Securities Credit Corporation (the
"Prudential Credit Facility"). Amounts available under the Revolving Credit
Facility and the Prudential Credit Facility are generally computed based on 65%
of the appraised value of properties pledged as collateral. As of November 3,
2000, the maximum amount available under our Revolving Credit Facility was $99.4
million, of which $8.1 was unused. As of November 3, 2000, the maximum amount
available under the Prudential Credit Facility was $21.6 million all of which
was borrowed, with the proceeds being used primarily to refinance existing debt.

      Our debt strategy favors long-term, fixed-rate, secured debt over
variable-rate debt to minimize the risk of short-term increases in interest
rates. As of September 30, 2000, 66% of our mortgage and other loans payable
balance carried fixed interest rates.

      As of November 3, 2000, we had $8.4 million in mortgage and other loans
payable maturing in 2000. We expect to meet our long-term capital needs through
a combination of cash from operations, additional borrowings from existing
credit facilities and new loans and additional equity issuances of Common
Shares, Preferred Shares, Common Units and/or Preferred Units.

      We are committed to investing an additional $1.1 million in MediTract
during 2000. We have no other material contractual obligations as of September
30, 2000 for property acquisitions or material capital costs other than the
completion of construction and development projects that were underway and
tenant improvements and leasing costs in the ordinary course of business.

Investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2000:

      During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we acquired a 74,513
square foot operating property and six parcels of land for an aggregate
acquisition cost of $19.8 million. These acquisitions were financed by:

      o     using $10.8 million in proceeds under our Revolving Credit Facility,
      o     assuming $6.2 million in mortgage and other loans, and
      o     using cash reserves for the balance.

      During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we completed the
construction of three office buildings totaling 243,087 square feet. Costs
incurred on these buildings through September 30, 2000 totaled $30.6 million. We
have $19.3 million in construction loan facilities for two of these buildings of
which $12.9 million was borrowed through September 30, 2000. We borrowed $6.5
million for the other building under a construction loan facility that was
subsequently refinanced. The balance of the costs was funded primarily using
proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility and cash from operations.

      As of September 30, 2000, we had construction activities underway on five
new buildings totaling 441,000 square feet that were 38% pre-leased. Estimated
costs upon completion for these projects total approximately $70.9 million. We
have construction loan facilities in place totaling $34.6 million to finance the
construction of three of these projects. Borrowings under these facilities
totaled $9.6 million at September 30, 2000 all of which was drawn upon during
the nine months then ended. We also borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility
to finance these activities.

      As of September 30, 2000, we also had development activities underway on
three parcels of land.

      During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we invested $8.6 million
into two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures using $3.5 million in
proceeds under our Revolving Credit Facility and cash reserves for the balance.

      During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we sold a retail property
located in Minot, North Dakota for $3.0 million of which $2.4 million was used
to pay off a mortgage loan payable on the property. Net proceeds from this sale
after mortgage loan repayment, transaction costs and operating revenue and
expense pro-rations totaled $513,000, all of which was applied to working
capital.

      During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we received $59.3 million
in borrowings from mortgages and other loans payable other than our Revolving
Credit Facility, the proceeds of which were used as follows:

o     $24.1 million to repay other loans,
o     $22.7 million to finance construction activities,
o     $6.2 million to finance acquisitions, and
o     the balance applied to cash reserves.

Statement of Cash Flows

      We generated net cash flow from operating activities of $27.0 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $4.9 million from the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. Our increase in cash flows from operating
activities is due mostly to income generated from our newly acquired and newly
constructed properties. Our net cash flow used in investing activities for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 decreased $12.9 million from the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 due mostly to a $21.5 million decrease in cash
outlays associated with purchases of and additions to commercial real estate
properties and a $28.6 million decrease in investments in and advances to real
estate joint ventures offset by a $29.4 million decrease in proceeds from rental
property sales. Our net cash flow provided by financing activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 decreased $15.6 million from the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 due mostly to a $75.2 million decrease in proceeds from
mortgage and other loans payable and a $29.5 million


                                       23
<PAGE>

decrease in proceeds from the issuance of Preferred Shares offset by a $96.6
million decrease in repayments of mortgage and other loans payable.

Funds From Operations

      We consider Funds from Operations ("FFO") to be meaningful to investors as
a measure of the financial performance of an equity REIT when considered with
the financial data presented under generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP"). Under the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts'
("NAREIT") definition, FFO means net income (loss) computed using generally
accepted accounting principles, excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate-related depreciation and
amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures. Further, if the conversion of securities into Common Shares is
dilutive, we exclude any GAAP income allocated to these securities in computing
FFO. The FFO we present may not be comparable to the FFO of other REITs since
they may interpret the current NAREIT definition of FFO differently or they may
not use the current NAREIT definition of FFO. FFO is not the same as cash
generated from operating activities or net income determined in accordance with
GAAP. FFO is not necessarily an indication of our cash flow available to fund
cash needs. Additionally, it should not be used as an alternative to net income
when evaluating our financial performance or to cash flow from operating,
investing and financing when evaluating our liquidity or ability to make cash
distributions or pay debt service. Our FFO for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 are summarized in the following table:

(1)   Preferred Units are not included in our computation of AFFO for the
      periods ended September 30, 2000.

Inflation

      We have not been significantly impacted by inflation during the periods
presented in this report. This is mostly because of the relatively low inflation
rates in our markets. Most of our tenants are contractually


                                       25
<PAGE>

obligated to pay their share of operating expenses, thereby reducing exposure to
increases in such costs resulting from inflation.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

      We are exposed to certain market risks, the most predominant of which is
changes in interest rates. Increases in interest rates can result in increased
interest expense under our Revolving Credit Facility and our other loans payable
carrying variable interest rate terms. Increases in interest rates can also
result in increased interest expense when our loans payable carrying fixed
interest rate terms mature and need to be refinanced.

      The following table sets forth our long-term debt obligations, principal
cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates and estimated
fair market value ("FMV") at September 30, 2000 (dollars in thousands):

(4)   Includes $6.6 million for a construction loan facility maturing that may
      be extended for a one-year period, subject to certain conditions.

      On May 25, 2000, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement with Bear
Stearns Capital Markets, Inc. This agreement caps our one-month LIBOR base at
7.7% per annum on a notional amount of $50.0 million through May 31, 2002. The
fair market value of this agreement as of September 30, 2000 was $22,000.

      On September 13, 2000, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement with
Bear Stearns Capital Markets, Inc. This agreement caps our one-month LIBOR base
at 7% per annum on a notional amount of $50.0 million through October 12, 2001.
The fair market value of this agreement as of September 30, 2000 was $20,000.

      Based on our variable rate debt balances during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, our interest expense would have increased $1.0 million if
interest rates were 1% higher.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

      We are not currently involved in any material litigation nor, to the best
of our knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against us
(other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business,
substantially all of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance).
