                                 (UNAUDITED) 

1.   ORGANIZATION, FORMATION, STRUCTURE AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ORGANIZATION

     Saul Centers, Inc. ("Saul Centers") was incorporated under the Maryland 
General Corporation Law on June 10, 1993.  The authorized capital stock of 
Saul Centers consists of 30,000,000 shares of common stock, having a par 
value of $0.01 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  Each 
holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held.  In 
conjunction with the organization of Saul Centers, 50 shares of common stock 
were issued to The Saul Organization (as defined below).  Saul Centers, 
together with its wholly owned subsidiaries and the limited partnerships of 
which Saul Centers or one of its subsidiaries is the sole general partner are 
referred to collectively as the "Company".

FORMATION AND STRUCTURE OF COMPANY               

     Saul Centers was formed to continue and expand the shopping center 
business previously owned and conducted by the B.F. Saul Real Estate 
Investment Trust, the B.F. Saul Company, Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B. and certain 
other affiliated entities (collectively, "The Saul Organization").  On August 
26, 1993, The Saul Organization  transferred to Saul Holdings Limited 
Partnership, a newly formed Maryland limited partnership (the "Operating 
Partnership"), and two newly formed subsidiary limited partnerships (the 
"Subsidiary Partnerships") 26 shopping center properties, one office 
property, one research park and one office/retail property and the management 
functions related to the transferred properties. These properties and related 
management functions collectively represent the "Saul Centers Portfolio 
Properties."  Since its formation, the Company has purchased three additional 
community and neighborhood shopping center properties, and purchased a land 
parcel which the Company developed into a neighborhood shopping center.  
Therefore, as of June 30, 1996, the Company's properties (the "Current 
Portfolio Properties") consisted of 30 operating shopping center properties 
(the "Shopping Centers"), and three predominantly office properties (the 
"Commercial Properties").  Saul Centers completed its initial stock offerings 
on August 26, 1993, with the sale of 11,400,000 shares of common stock at $20 
per share in an initial public offering and 479,050 shares of common stock at 
$20 per share in a private offering to The Saul Organization (collectively, 
the "Offerings").  Subsequent to the Offerings, there were 11,879,100 shares 
of common stock and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.  Net proceeds 
of the Offerings (after expenses of approximately $18.2 million), and net 
proceeds of new bank borrowings were primarily used to curtail existing 
indebtedness related to the Saul Centers Portfolio Properties. After 
consummation of the Offerings, Saul Centers owned a 73.0 percent general 
partnership interest in  the Operating Partnership and a 1.0 percent general 
partnership interest in each of the two Subsidiary Partnerships, which were 
formed for tax planning purposes and to facilitate future financing by the 
Company.  Saul Centers made an election to be treated as a real estate 
investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a 
"REIT").

1.   ORGANIZATION, FORMATION, STRUCTURE AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION     
     (CONTINUED)

     In July 1994, the Company established Saul QRS, Inc. and SC Finance
Corporation, each of which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Saul Centers.  Saul
QRS, Inc. was established to succeed to the interest of Saul Centers as the sole
general partner of Saul Subsidiary I Limited Partnership, one of the Subsidiary
Partnerships, and SC Finance Corporation was established for the purpose of
issuing $128 million of collateralized floating rate mortgage notes (the
"Mortgage Notes").  In connection with these transactions, the Operating
Partnership transferred ten Shopping Centers previously owned by it to Saul
Subsidiary I Limited Partnership as an additional capital contribution and Saul
Subsidiary II Limited Partnership transferred one Shopping Center previously
owned by it to Saul Subsidiary I Limited Partnership as an initial capital
contribution in return for a limited partnership interest in Saul Subsidiary I
Limited Partnership.  As a consequence of these transfers, Saul Subsidiary I
Limited Partnership currently owns a total of 17 Shopping Centers (the
"Mortgaged Properties").  The Mortgaged Properties, which continue to be managed
by the Operating Partnership, secure the mortgage purchased with proceeds of
issuance of the Mortgage Notes.

     As a consequence of the transactions constituting the formation of the
Company and the later transactions described above undertaken in connection with
the Mortgage Note financing, Saul Centers serves as the sole general partner of
Saul Subsidiary II Limited Partnership, one of the Subsidiary Partnerships, and
Saul QRS, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, serves as the sole general partner
of Saul Subsidiary I Limited Partnership, in each case holding a 1 percent
general partnership interest.  The remaining 99 percent interest in Saul
Subsidiary II Limited Partnership is held by the Operating Partnership as the
sole limited partner.  The remaining 99 percent interest in Saul Subsidiary I
Limited Partnership is held in the form of 96.53 percent and 2.47 percent
limited partnership interests by the Operating Partnership and Saul Subsidiary
II Limited Partnership, respectively.  Through this structure, the Company owns
100 percent of the Current Portfolio Properties.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect
all adjustments necessary for fair presentation  of the financial position and
results of operations of Saul Centers.  All such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature.  These consolidated financial statements and the accompanying
notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements of Saul Centers for the year ended December 31, 1995, which are
included in its

Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The results of operations for interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

     The Company, which conducts all of its activities through its subsidiaries,
the Operating Partnership and Subsidiary Partnerships, engages in the ownership,
operation, management, leasing, acquisition, renovation, expansion, development
and financing of community and neighborhood shopping centers and, to a limited
extent, other commercial properties, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region.

     A majority of the Shopping Centers are anchored by several major tenants. 
Eighteen of the 30 Shopping Centers are anchored by a grocery store and offer
primarily day-to-day necessities and services.  As of August 1996, no single
Shopping Center accounted for more than 11.2 percent of the total Shopping
Center gross leasable area ("GLA").  Only one Shopping Center tenant, Giant 
Food, accounted for more than 2.0 percent of the Company's total revenues for 
the year ending December 31, 1995 and only three Shopping Center tenants, 
Giant Food, Best Buy, and Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B., individually accounted 
for more than 1.5 percent of total revenues for 1995.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

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

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

     Real estate investment properties are stated at the lower of depreciated
cost or net realizable value based on management's intent to hold such
properties on a long-term basis.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     Interest, real estate taxes and other carrying costs are capitalized on
projects under construction.  Once construction is substantially complete and
the assets are placed in service, rental income, direct operating expenses, 
and depreciation associated with such properties are included in current 
operations.  Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to 
operations as incurred.  Interest expense capitalized during the three months 
and six months ended June 30, 1996, was $83,000 and $254,000, respectively.

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

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ACCRUED INCOME

     Accounts receivable primarily represent amounts currently due from tenants
in accordance with the terms of the respective leases.  In addition, accounts
receivable include $2,144,000 at June 30, 1996, representing minimum rental
income accrued on a straight-line basis to be paid by tenants over the term of
the respective leases.  Receivables are reviewed monthly and reserves are
charged to current period operations when, in the opinion of management, 
collection of the receivable is doubtful.  Accounts receivable in the 
accompanying financial statements are shown net of an allowance for doubtful 
accounts of $249,000 at June 30, 1996.

DEFERRED DEBT EXPENSE

     Deferred debt expense consists of financing fees and costs incurred to
obtain long-term financing and interest rate protection agreements.  These fees
and costs are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans or
agreements.  Deferred debt expense in the accompanying financial statements is
shown net of accumulated amortization of $1,920,000 at June 30, 1996.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Rental and interest income are accrued as earned, except, when doubt exists
as to

collectibility, accrual is discontinued.  Expense recoveries represent 
property operating expenses billed to tenants, including common area 
maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs.  Expense 
recoveries are recognized in the period in which the expenses are accrued.  
Generally, additional rental income based on a tenant's gross revenue 
("percentage rent") is accrued on the basis of the tenant's prior year's 
percentage rent, adjusted to give effect to current sales data.

INCOME TAXES

     Saul Centers made an election to be treated, and intends to continue 
operating so as to qualify, as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the 
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its taxable year 
ended December 31, 1993.  A REIT generally will not be subject to federal 
income taxation on that portion of its income that qualifies as REIT taxable 
income to the extent that it distributes to stockholders at least 95 percent 
of its REIT taxable income and complies with certain other requirements.  
Saul Centers continues to qualify as a REIT and, therefore, no provision has 
been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

     For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash includes balances on hand and 
demand deposits with financial institutions.

PER SHARE DATA

     Per share data for net income before minority interests is presented on a
fully converted basis and is computed using weighted average shares of
16,367,631 and 16,272,263, for the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively and 16,338,630 and 16,272,263 for the six month periods ended June
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Per share data relating to net income after
minority interests is computed on the basis of 11,974,468 and 11,879,100
weighted average common shares outstanding during the quarters ended June 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively and 11,945,467 and 11,879,100 for the six month
periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

MINORITY INTERESTS - HOLDERS OF CONVERTIBLE LIMITED PARTNER UNITS IN THE
OPERATING PARTNERSHIP 

     The Saul Organization holds 4,393,163 Convertible Limited Partnership 
Units in the Operating Partnership representing a 26.7 percent limited 
partnership interest, as of June 30, 1996.  Under the terms of the Operating 
Partnership Agreement, The Saul Organization received rights which enable it 
to convert its Convertible Limited Partnership Units into shares of Saul 
Centers' common stock on a one-for-one basis at the end of the 36-month 
period commencing after the completion of the Offerings, provided that it may 
not exercise the rights at any time that The Saul Organization owns, directly 
or indirectly, in the aggregate more than 24.9 percent of the outstanding 
equity securities of Saul Centers. The Saul Organization's 26.7 percent 
limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership is presented as 
minority interests in the accompanying financial statements.

DIRECTORS DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

     A Deferred Compensation Plan was established by Saul Centers, effective
January 1,  1994, for the benefit of its directors and their beneficiaries. 
Before the beginning of any calendar year, a director may elect to defer all or
part of his or her director's fees to be earned in that year and the following
years.  A director has the option to have deferred director's fees paid in cash
or in shares of common stock.  If the director elects to have the deferred fees
paid in stock, the number of shares distributed to the director is determined
based on the market value of the common stock on the day the deferred director's
fee was earned.  Shares authorized and registered for use under the plan total
70,000.  As of June 30, 1996, 21,652 shares had been credited to the director's
deferred fee accounts.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     During 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."  SFAS 121,
establishes standards for measuring and accounting for impairment of long-lived
assets held for production of income as well as long-lived assets to be
"Disposed Of".  The standard is required to be implemented in 1996 and, in the
opinion of management, will not have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated results of operations or financial position.

     In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," which requires entities to measure compensation costs related to
awards of stock-

based compensation using either the fair value method or the intrinsic value
method.  The Company will elect to account for stock-based compensation programs
using the intrinsic value method consistent with existing accounting policies
and therefore, the standard will not have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements.

3.   CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS

     Construction in progress represents the costs of open projects in the
redevelopment of  Seven Corners center, including direct construction costs and
indirect costs such as architectural, engineering, construction management and
carrying costs such as interest, real estate taxes and insurance.  The
construction in progress balance as of June 30, 1996 was $3,050,000.

4.  NOTES PAYABLE

     In conjunction with the Offerings, the Company assumed and refinanced 
with the existing lenders $74.8 million of mortgage notes payable.  The 
remaining mortgage and other notes payable assumed by the Company (including 
accrued interest and prepayment penalties) were repaid with the net proceeds 
of the Offerings and $117.8 million of new bank borrowings.  Notes payable 
totaled $276.5 million at June 30, 1996, of which $265.2 million is floating 
rate debt and $249.8 million of which is capped by interest rate protection 
agreements (see "Notes Payable - Interest Rate Protection Agreements").

     On August 1, 1994, SC Finance Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of 
Saul Centers, issued $128 million of Fitch Investors Services, Inc. rated 
seven-year Mortgage Notes, consisting of $91 million of Class A 
Collateralized Floating Rate Commercial Mortgage Notes, rated "AA",  bearing 
interest at a rate equal to 0.65 percent above LIBOR, $13 million of Class B 
Collateralized Floating Rate Commercial Mortgage Notes, rated "A", bearing 
interest at a rate equal to 1.05 percent above LIBOR and $24 million of Class 
C Collateralized Floating Rate Commercial Mortgage Notes, rated "BBB",  
bearing interest at a rate equal to 1.55 percent above LIBOR.   Proceeds from 
the issuance of these Mortgage Notes were used to prepay debt of 
approximately $118 million, which was scheduled to mature primarily  in 1996 
and 1997.  

     As of June 30, 1996, the Company had a $100.1 million secured revolving 
credit facility with outstanding borrowings of $86.0 million.  The line 
requires monthly interest payments of LIBOR plus 1.875 percent.  At June 30, 
1996, $14.1 million was available for borrowing on the line.  As of June 30, 
1996, the scheduled maturities of all debt for years ending December 31, are 
as follows:

INTEREST RATE PROTECTION AGREEMENTS 

     Simultaneously with the completion of the Offerings, the Company (i) 
entered into interest rate protection agreements (interest rate caps) to 
limit the Company's exposure to increases in interest rates on $199.8 million 
of its floating rate debt above a LIBOR strike price of 4.25 percent for a 
period of one year ending in August 1994 and (ii) entered into additional 
interest rate protection agreements for $199.8 million with a LIBOR strike 
price of 5.25 percent for the ensuing four years ending in August 1998.  When 
adding the Company's current weighted average interest rate "spread" of 
approximately 1.45 percent over LIBOR at June 30, 1996 to the 5.25 percent 
strike price, the result is a maximum interest rate of approximately 6.70 
percent for $199.8 million of the Company's debt.  The costs of these 
interest rate protection agreements were paid at the time of the Offerings 
and the expense is being amortized over the terms of the respective 
agreements.

     In conjunction with the August 1994 issue of the Mortgage Notes, the 
Company purchased $128 million of interest rate protection with a LIBOR 
strike price of 7.50 percent for a three-year term following the August 1998 
expiration of the 5.25 percent interest rate protection agreement.  The cost 
of this interest rate protection agreement was paid at the time of the issue 
of the Mortgage Notes and the expense will be amortized over the final 
three-year term of the Notes.

     In March of 1995, the Company purchased $50 million of interest rate 
protection with a LIBOR strike price of 7.5 percent for a four-year term 
expiring March 1999.  When adding the Company's current weighted average 
interest rate "spread" of approximately 1.45 percent over LIBOR at June 30, 
1996 to the 7.5 percent strike price, the result is a maximum interest rate 
of approximately 8.95 percent for $50 million of the Company's June 30, 1996 
floating rate debt.  Additionally the Company purchased $71.8 million of 
interest rate protection with a LIBOR strike price of 7.5 percent for a 
two-year term following the August 1998 expiration of the 5.25 percent 
interest rate protection agreement.  The cost of these interest rate 
protection agreements was paid at the March 20, 1995 purchase date and is 
being amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective term of the 
agreements.
     
     As a result of the purchased interest rate protection agreements, $249.8 
million of the Company's current floating rate debt is capped, at LIBOR 
prices of 5.25 percent ($199.8 million), and 7.5 percent ($50.0 million), 
respectively. Approximately $15.4 million of the Company's June 30, 1996 
floating rate debt was not capped.

     The Company is exposed to interest rate risk and to risk of credit loss 
to the extent the counter party to the interest rate protection agreement is 
unable to perform.  The interest rate risk refers to the Company's continuing 
obligation related to the stated interest rates in the existing debt 
agreements.  Risk of credit loss is limited to the cost of replacing the 
interest rate protection agreements at current rates and not the notional 
principal amount, which is the amount upon which interest rates are applied 
to determine payment streams under the agreements.  The Company does not 
anticipate non-performance by the counter parties of which there are three 
separate institutions.  Income earned by the operation of the interest rate 
protection agreements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 
1996, was $60,000 and $252,000, respectively, and was reported as an offset 
to interest expense.

5.   SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND MINORITY INTERESTS

     In September 1994, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a 
consensus regarding the calculation and presentation of minority interests in 
the financial statements of certain real estate investment trusts.  The 
Company had followed an accepted industry practice presenting minority 
interests (calculated as the excess of liabilities over assets contributed, 
at the predecessor's historical cost basis, together with the predecessor's 
subsequent share of income and distributions) as a component of shareholders' 
equity.

                                   (UNAUDITED)

5.   SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND MINORITY INTERESTS (CONTINUED)

     The EITF concluded that the minority interests should be calculated based
on the predecessor's percentage interest in the equity of the Operating
Partnership and presented outside of shareholders' equity.

     The financial statements for the three months and six months ended June 
30, 1996 reflect the EITF consensus and include charges to net income of 
$1,713,000 and $3,426,000, respectively.  For the three month period ended 
June 30, 1996, the $1,713,000 charge consisted of $870,000 related to the 
predecessor's share of the net income and $843,000 related to distributions 
to minority interests in excess of allocated net income.  For the six-month 
period ended June 30, 1996, the $3,426,000 charge consisted of $1,788,000 
related to the predecessor's share of net income and $1,638,000 related to 
distributions to minority interests in excess of allocated net income.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion is based primarily on the consolidated financial
statements of Saul Centers, Inc. ("Saul Centers" and, together with its wholly
owned subsidiaries and the limited partnerships of which it or one if its wholly
owned subsidiaries is the sole general partner, the "Company") as of June 30,
1996 and for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 1996.  

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     As of June 30, 1996, the Current Portfolio Properties consisted of 30
community and neighborhood shopping center properties (the "Shopping Centers"),
and three predominantly office properties (the "Commercial Properties"), located
in seven states and the District of Columbia.  The Commercial Properties consist
of one office property and one office/retail property, both located in the
District of Columbia, and one research park located in a Maryland suburb of
Washington, D.C.  See attached Exhibit (Schedule of Portfolio Properties) for a
listing of all properties owned as of June 30, 1996.

     At June 30, 1996 and 1995, tenants leased 90.4 and 90.9 percent,
respectively, of the Company's leasable area, exclusive of the Seven Corners
center which is undergoing a significant redevelopment (see discussion below). 
The Company's total percentage leased as of June 30, 1996 and 1995 was 90.2
percent and 90.9 percent, respectively, including Seven Corners.

     The Company has been selectively involved in development and acquisition
activities.  The Company continues to evaluate land parcels for retail
development and to evaluate potential acquisitions of operating retail
properties in order to enhance operating income and cash flow growth. The
Company also continues to take advantage of redevelopment and renovation
opportunities within the portfolio, as demonstrated by its recent activities at
Great Eastern, Seven Corners, and Leesburg Pike.  

     Great Eastern, a neighborhood shopping center currently anchored by Giant
Food, has more than doubled in size to over 250,000 square feet with the
addition of a 113,000 square foot Caldor store and approximately 22,500 square
feet of retail shop space.  The construction and development of the Caldor store
was completed in late 1995, and a facade renovation of the entire shopping
center was also substantially completed at that time.  The Caldor store opened
and the tenant began paying rent on April 18, 1996.

     The first phase renovation and repositioning of Seven Corners, the
Company's largest shopping center, from an enclosed mall to a large community
retail center has been completed, with the facade of the redeveloped center
completed in September 1995.  A 35,000 square foot Barnes & Noble book
superstore opened in early October 1995, and a 50,000 square foot Bob's Store
opened in March 1996.  These new tenants accompany the 26,000 square foot Ross
Dress for Less, the 50,000 square foot Best Buy and the renovated and 
reopened 23,000 square foot Woolworth's store.  These five anchor tenants 
comprise nearly 34 percent of the current leasable 


                                       17

<PAGE>

space in the shopping center.  Construction was completed in June 1995 of a 
16,000 square foot expansion of an outparcel building.  This space is fully 
leased to service oriented tenants, some of which relocated from the former 
enclosed mall.  Construction has been substantially completed on two 
free-standing restaurant pads, Pizzeria Uno and Wendy's, totaling 
10,000 square feet.  Wendy's opened in May 1996 while Pizzeria Uno is 
expected to open for business in September 1996.

     Also at Seven Corners, in February 1996, the Company entered into a 
twenty year lease agreement with Shoppers Food Warehouse to locate their 
latest prototype 65,000 square foot Shoppers Club grocery store.  In May 
1996, the company announced that it had entered into a lease agreement with 
Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. for 127,000 square feet of space, to include 
approximately 106,000 square feet of indoor home improvement space and 21,000 
square feet of outside garden center area.  The lease will have an initial 
term of thirty years.  The former Woodward and Lothrop department and 
furniture store buildings will be demolished to accommodate the construction 
of The Home Depot store and associated parking, and the Shoppers Club grocery 
store.  Construction and development of this phase of the development is 
projected to be completed in the fall of 1997.  The signing of these two 
anchor leases substantially completes the retail leasing for the 
redevelopment of the Company's 570,000 square foot Seven Corners shopping 
center.

     The Company recently completed a facade renovation at its 80,000 square
foot Leesburg Pike shopping center in Baileys Crossroads, Virginia, which is now
100 percent leased.  Zany Brainy, a children's educational game and toy
retailer, opened a 13,300 foot store in September 1995 and joins other
recognized tenants such as CVS Pharmacy, Kinko's and Bruegger's Bagel in the
center.

     On January 22, 1996, the Company acquired Clarendon Station, 4,868 square
feet of retail shop space adjacent to the Company's Clarendon property. Both
properties are located across from a Metro subway station entrance in Arlington,
Virginia.  The newly acquired property is 100 percent leased to 5 retail service
tenants.  The purchase price was $833,500, of which $431,750 was paid in cash
and $401,750 was paid in the form of a four-year mortgage note at a fixed
interest rate of 8.0 percent.  The property is zoned for higher density retail
and office uses.  There is considerable development activity in the neighborhood
surrounding the Clarendon property.  

     The Company's capital strategy is to maintain a ratio of total debt to
total asset value of 50 percent or less.  Management believes that current total
debt remains less than 50 percent of total asset value.  Additionally, the
Company's interest rate protection agreements cap LIBOR on $249.8 million of its
$265.2 million of floating rate debt which was outstanding at June 30, 1996,
limiting the Company's exposure to increases in interest rates.  The Company has
capped LIBOR at 5.25 percent on $199.8 million through August 1998 and has
capped LIBOR at 7.50 percent on an additional $50 million through March 1999. 
In conjunction with the August 1, 1994 issue of the Mortgage Notes, the Company
purchased $128 million of interest rate protection agreements, with a LIBOR
strike price of 7.50 percent for a three-year term following the expiration of
the 5.25 percent interest rate protection agreements.  In March 1995, the
Company 


                                       18

<PAGE>

purchased $71.8 million of interest rate protection agreements, with a LIBOR 
strike price of 7.50 percent for a two-year term following the expiration of 
the balance of the 5.25 percent interest rate protection agreements.  

     On July 24, 1996, the Company announced that it executed a loan commitment
with an institutional investor for a secured mortgage loan in the amount of
approximately $78 million.  The loan is for a term of 15 years, and the interest
rate is fixed at 8.64%.  The loan will be secured by six of the Company's retail
and office properties.  Closing and funding is expected to be in October 1996. 
The proceeds of this loan will be used to repay existing floating rate debt
which currently has a weighted average remaining term of approximately 2.3 years
and a  weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.93%.  Upon closing of this
loan, the Company will have fixed interest rates on approximately 32% of its
total debt. The balance of the Company's debt is floating rate debt tied to
LIBOR rates, and will all be covered by interest rate protection agreements
which cap LIBOR at 5.25 percent through August 1998.  Thereafter, a significant
portion of the remaining floating rate debt will be capped at a LIBOR rate of
7.5 percent into the year 2001.

     The Company expects to use a portion of its unused line of credit, of which
$14.1 million was available at June 30, 1996, to fund the remaining construction
and development costs for its Seven Corners redevelopment and other renovation
activities (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Borrowing Capacity").  The
Company intends to finance future acquisitions, development and debt repayments
by utilizing various capital sources, which could include bank and institutional
borrowings and private and public offerings of debt or equity securities.

     The ratings of the Company's $128 million of Mortgage Notes  (see "Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 4"), which were issued in July, 1994,
were affirmed by Fitch Investors Service, Inc. as of March 1996.  Fitch noted
that the affirmation of ratings reflected financial performance consistent with
the initial underwriting of these Mortgage Notes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES     

GENERAL

     The Company's principal demands for liquidity are expected to be
distributions to its common stockholders and holders of convertible limited
partnership units, debt service and loan repayments, repair and renovation of
the Current Portfolio Properties and acquisition and development activities.  In
order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company must
distribute to its stockholders at least 95 percent of its "real estate
investment trust taxable income," as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended.


                                       19

<PAGE>

     The Company anticipates that operating revenues will provide the funds
necessary for operations, debt service and distributions.  Balloon principal
repayments are expected to be funded by refinancings.  The Company expects to
use its unused line of credit to fund its current construction and development
activities.

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

     In December 1995, the Company established a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock
Purchase Plan (the "Plan"), to allow its stockholders and holders of limited
partnership interests an opportunity to buy additional shares of common stock by
reinvesting all or a portion of their dividends or distributions.  The Plan
provides for investing in newly issued shares of common stock at a 3 percent
discount from market price without payment of any brokerage commission, service
charges or other expenses.  All expenses of the Plan will be paid for by the
Company.  The January 31, 1996 dividend was the initial dividend payment date
under which the Company's stockholders could participate in the Plan.  A total
of 56,050 and 58,980 new shares were issued as of the January 31, 1996 and April
30, 1996 dividend pay dates.  Subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 1996,
stockholders owning a total of 2,179,931 shares of common stock reinvested their
dividends on July 31, 1996, resulting in the issue of 67,421 new shares at a
discounted share price of $12.61 per share.

     For the six months ended June 30, 1996, cash flow of $15,321,000 was
provided from operations, $3,400,000 was provided from borrowings on a line of
credit, $402,000 was financing  provided by Clarendon Station's seller, and
$1,534,000 was provided by dividends reinvested in the Company's dividend
reinvestment program.  Cash was required primarily for net repayment of debt of
$377,000, distributions to common stockholders and holders of convertible
limited partnership units of $12,758,000, additions to real estate investments
(including the Clarendon Station acquisition) of $3,956,000, and construction
projects of $2,880,000.

BORROWING CAPACITY

     As of June 30, 1996, the Company had a $100.1 million secured revolving
credit facility with outstanding borrowings of $86.0 million.  Borrowings under
this facility require monthly interest payments at 1.875 percent above LIBOR. 
The Company had $14.1 million available under the line of credit as of June 30,
1996.

     Management believes that the Company's current capital resources, together
with its 


                                       20

<PAGE>

borrowing capacity and its intended refinancings, will be sufficient to meet 
its liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.  

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion compares the results of the Company for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  This information should be
read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated and combined financial
statements and the notes related thereto.  These financial statements include
all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim
periods presented.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

     Base rent and expense recoveries were $12,378,000 and $2,179,000,
respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 1996 (the "1996 Quarter"),
compared to $11,626,000 and $2,181,000, respectively, for the comparable quarter
in 1995 (the "1995 Quarter"), representing a $752,000 (6.5 percent) increase in
base rent and $2,000 (0.1 percent) decrease in expense recoveries.  The increase
in base rent results primarily from new leases placed in service at Seven
Corners, Great Eastern and Leesburg Pike for the 1996 Quarter but not present
during the 1995 Quarter. 

     Percentage rent was $709,000 in the 1996 Quarter, compared to $758,000 in
the 1995 Quarter, representing a decrease of $49,000 (6.5 percent).

     Other income, which is composed primarily of parking income, kiosk leasing,
temporary leases, and payments associated with early termination of leases, was
$554,000 in the 1996 Quarter, compared to $629,000 in the 1995 Quarter,
representing a decrease of $75,000 (11.9 percent).  The decrease resulted
primarily from the reduction in the 1996 Quarter of lease termination payments
compared to amounts received during the 1995 Quarter.

     Operating expenses, composed primarily of repairs and maintenance,
utilities, payroll and insurance, decreased $141,000 (6.9 percent) to $1,902,000
in the 1996 Quarter from $2,043,000 in the 1995 Quarter.  The operating 
expense decrease resulted from reduced property payroll expenses and reduced 
operating expenses at shopping centers under development, primarily the mall 
conversion at Seven Corners.

     Real estate taxes increased $247,000 (19.5 percent) to $1,514,000 in the
1996 Quarter from $1,267,000 in the 1995 Quarter.  The real estate tax 
increase was mainly attributable to a significant increase in taxes assessed 
at Seven Corners center, due to this shopping center's redevelopment.

     The provisions for credit losses increased $96,000 (960.0 percent) to 
$106,000 in the 1996 



                                       21

<PAGE>

Quarter from $10,000 in the 1995 Quarter.  The credit loss increase results 
from the comparison with the 1995 Quarter, in which the provision was reduced 
by collections of several tenant receivables previously written-off.  The 
provision for the 1996 Quarter represents a return to historically normal 
credit loss activity.

     Interest expense of $4,607,000 for the 1996 Quarter represented an increase
of $254,000 (5.8 percent) over $4,353,000 reported for the 1995 Quarter.  This
increase is primarily attributable to  an approximately $16.8 million increase
in average loan balances outstanding.  The additional borrowings were used
primarily to fund the Company's acquisition and development activities.  The
interest expense increase was partially offset by a 64 basis point decrease in
average LIBOR during the 1996 Quarter compared to the 1995 Quarter.  LIBOR is
the rate used as the base index for the Company's floating rate debt.
     
     Amortization of deferred debt expense increased to $734,000 for the 1996 
Quarter from $602,000 for the 1995 Quarter, representing an increase of 
$132,000 (21.9 percent).  The increase resulted primarily from an accounting 
adjustment of deferred debt amortization in the 1995 Quarter, not present in 
the 1996 Quarter.

     General and administrative expense, which consists primarily of 
administrative, payroll and other overhead expense, was $808,000 for the 1996 
Quarter, as compared to $750,000 for the 1995 Quarter, representing an 
increase of $58,000 (7.7 percent).

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased $545,000 (22.9 percent) 
from $2,382,000 in the 1995 Quarter to $2,927,000 in the 1996 Quarter.  The 
increase resulted primarily from placing in service the newly redeveloped 
portions of Seven Corners, Great Eastern and Leesburg Pike centers.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 

     Base rent and expense recoveries were $24,638,000 and $4,472,000,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1996 (the "1996 Period"),
compared to $23,365,000 and $4,393,000, respectively, for the comparable period
in 1995 (the "1995 Period"), representing a $1,273,000 (5.4 percent) increase in
base rent and $79,000 (1.8 percent) increase in expense recoveries.  The
increase in base rent resulted primarily from new leases placed in service at
Seven Corners, Great Eastern and Leesburg Pike for the 1996 Period but not
present during the 1995 Period.

     Percentage rent was $1,425,000 in the 1996 Period, compared to $1,359,000
in the 1995 Period, representing an increase of $66,000 (4.9 percent).

     Other income, which consists primarily of parking income at two of the
Commercial Properties, kiosk leasing, temporary leases, and lease termination
payments associated with early termination of leases, was $918,000 in the 1996
Period, compared to $1,258,000 in the 1995 Period, representing a decrease of
$340,000 (27.0 percent).  The decrease resulted primarily from lower lease
termination payments in the 1996 period compared to amounts received during the
1995 Period.


                                       22

<PAGE>

     Operating expenses, consisting mainly of repairs and maintenance,
utilities, payroll and insurance, increased $31,000 (0.8 percent) to $4,119,000
in the 1996 Period from $4,088,000 in the 1995 Period.

     Real estate taxes increased 217,000 (8.1 percent) to $2,884,000 in the 
1996 Period from $2,667,000 in the 1995 Period.  The real estate tax increase 
was mainly attributable to a significant increase in taxes assessed at Seven 
Corners center, due to this shopping center's redevelopment.

     The provision for credit losses increased $47,000 (41.2 percent) to 
$161,000 in the 1996 Period from $114,000 in the 1995 Period.  The credit 
loss increase results from the comparison with the 1995 Period, in which the 
provision was reduced by collections of several tenant receivables previously 
written-off.  The provision for the 1996 Period represents a return to 
historically normal credit loss activity.

     Interest expense of $9,033,000 for the 1996 Period represented an 
increase of $383,000 (4.4 percent) from $8,650,000 in the 1995 Period.  The 
increase is primarily attributable to an approximately $20.9 million increase 
in average outstanding loan balances.  The additional borrowings were used 
primarily to fund the Company's acquisition and development activities.  The 
interest expense increase was partially offset by a 60 basis point decrease 
in average LIBOR during the 1996 Period compared to the 1995 Period.  LIBOR 
is the rate used as the base index for the Company's floating rate debt.

     Amortization of deferred debt expense increased to $1,466,000 for the 1996
Period from $1,139,000 for the 1995 Period, representing a increase of $327,000
(28.7 percent).     The increase resulted primarily from the amortization of
costs incurred for interest rate protection agreements acquired in March 1995
and an accounting adjustment of deferred debt amortization in the 1995 Period,
not present in the 1996 Period.

     General and administrative expense, which consists primarily of 
administrative, payroll and other overhead expenses, was $1,562,000 for the 
1996 Period, as compared to $1,492,000 for the 1995 Period, representing an 
increase of $70,000 (4.7 percent).

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased $813,000 (17.0 percent) 
from $4,794,000 in the 1995 period to $5,607,000 in the 1996 period.  The 
increase resulted primarily from placing in service the newly redeveloped 
portions of Seven Corners, Great Eastern and Leesburg Pike centers.
