                                   (UNAUDITED)

   ORGANIZATION
       Mid-Atlantic  Realty Trust was  incorporated  June 29, 1993 and commenced
   operations effective with the completion of its initial public share offering
   on September  11,  1993.  Mid-Atlantic  Realty Trust is the  successor to the
   operations  of BTR Realty,  Inc. and  qualifies  as a real estate  investment
   trust  ("REIT") for Federal  income tax  purposes.  As used herein,  the term
   "MART" or the "Company"  refers to  Mid-Atlantic  Realty Trust,  and entities
   owned  or  controlled  by  MART,  including  MART  Limited  Partnership  (the
   "Operating Partnership").

   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
       The  Company  is  a  fully  integrated,   self-administered  real  estate
   investment  trust  which owns,  acquires,  develops,  redevelops,  leases and
   manages  primarily  neighborhood or community  shopping centers in the Middle
   Atlantic region of the United States.

       The Company has an equity interest in 32 operating  shopping centers,  27
   of which are  wholly-owned  by the  Company and five in which the Company has
   interests  ranging from 50% to 93%, as well as other  commercial  properties.
   The  Company   also  owns  seven   undeveloped   parcels  of  land   totaling
   approximately 125 acres which it is holding for development or sale.

        All of MART's  interests in  properties  are held directly or indirectly
   by, and  substantially  all of its operations  relating to the properties are
   conducted through, the Operating Partnership.  Subject to certain conditions,
   units of partnership interest in the Operating  Partnership  ("Units") may be
   exchanged  by the  limited  partners  for cash or at the option of MART,  the
   obligation may be assumed by MART and paid either in cash or in common shares
   of  beneficial  interest in MART on a  one-for-one  basis.  MART controls the
   Operating Partnership as the sole general partner, and owns approximately 82%
   of the Units at September 30, 1998.


   CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
        The  consolidated  balance  sheet  as of  September  30,  1998  and  the
   consolidated  statements of operations for the Company for the nine and three
   month  periods  ended  September  30,  1998 and  September  30,  1997 and the
   consolidated  statements  of cash  flows  for the nine  month  periods  ended
   September 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997,  have been prepared by the Company
   without audit. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments  (which include
   only normal recurring  adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
   position,  results  of  operations  and cash flows  have been  included.  The
   results of  operations  for the  periods  ended  September  30,  1998 are not
   necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

        Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally  included  in
   financial   statements   prepared  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted
   accounting   principles  have  been  omitted.  It  is  suggested  that  these
   consolidated   financial   statements  be  read  in   conjunction   with  the
   consolidated   financial   statements  and  notes  thereto  included  in  the
   Mid-Atlantic Realty Trust 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders.

   NET EARNINGS PER SHARE
        Basic  earnings  per share  ("EPS") is  computed  by  dividing  earnings
   available to common  shareholders  by the weighted  average  number of common
   shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed after adjusting the numerator and
   denominator  of the basic EPS  computation  for the  effects of all  dilutive
   potential common shares  outstanding  during the period. The dilutive effects
   of convertible  securities are computed using the  "if-converted"  method and
   the dilutive effects of options,  warrants and their  equivalents  (including
   fixed  awards and  nonvested  shares  issued under  share-based  compensation
   plans) are computed using the "treasury stock" method.

</TABLE>

   (1) The denominator excludes the effect of securities which are antidilutive.
   For purposes of this  computation  at September  30,  1998,  the  convertible
   subordinated debentures, if converted,  would produce an additional 1,402,953
   shares and the Units,  if exchanged,  would  produce an additional  3,175,771
   shares.


   CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
      Effective September 11, 1993 the Company issued $60,000,000 of convertible
   subordinated  debentures  at 7.625% scheduled to mature in  September  2003.
   Interest on the  debentures is paid  semi-annually  on March 15 and September
   15. The debentures are convertible,  unless previously redeemed,  at any time
   prior to maturity into common shares of beneficial interest of the Company at
   $10.50 per share, subject to certain  adjustments.  For the nine months ended
   September 30, 1998, $2,771,000 in debentures were converted to 263,891 common
   shares of beneficial interest.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
  $20,597,000  in  debentures  were  converted  to 1,961,569  common  shares of
   beneficial interest. The balance of the debentures, at September 30, 1998, of
  $14,731,000,  convertible  at $10.50 per  share,  if fully  converted,  would
  produce an additional 1,402,953 shares. Costs associated with the issuance of
  the  debentures  were  approximately  $752,097 at September  30, 1998 and are
  being amortized through 2003. The debentures are redeemable by the Company at
  any time at 100% of the  principal  amount  thereof,  together  with  accrued
  interest.
  The debentures are subordinate to all mortgages payable.

   SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
      During the nine months ended  September 30, 1998,  shareholders'  equity
changed for the  following  items:  - 
          -Net  earnings of  $9,051,526 
          -Dividend paid of $10,937,784 
          -Common shares and additional  paid-in capital increased by $2,696,476
            due to conversion of $2,771,000 in debentures 
          -Other changes, $3,263,735 primarily related to stock repurchases
             

       Restricted Share Plan
        In 1997, the Executive Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board
  of Trustees  approved,  a Restricted  Share Plan. The Executive  Compensation
  Committee  believes  that the grant of  restricted  share  awards  provides a
  long-term  incentive  to  persons  who  contribute  to the growth of MART and
  establishes a direct link between  compensation  and shareholder  return.  In
  1997,  400,000 restricted shares were made available for the plan and 368,333
  restricted  shares with a market value of $13.38 per share were awarded under
  the plan. These shares are subject to forfeiture  restrictions which lapse at
  defined annual rates to 2008, subject to the recipients' continued employment
  with the Company.  The Company  recognizes the amortization of the fair value
  of the shares  awarded as  compensation  costs over the terms of the  awards.

                              MID-ATLANTIC REALTY TRUST
                           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                     OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



          The following  discussion compares the Company's results of operations
for the nine and three months ended  September  30, 1998,  with those for the
nine and three months ended September 30, 1997.

   Comparison  of nine months  ended  September  30,  1998 to nine months  ended
September 30, 1997

         Rental  revenues  increased by $7,248,000 or 31% to $30,776,000 for the
  nine months ended  September  30, 1998 from  $23,528,000  for the nine months
  ended  September 30, 1997. The portfolio  acquisition of ten properties  from
  partnerships associated with Jack H. Pechter in July 1997 ("JHP Acquisition")
  contributed an increase in rental  revenues of  approximately  $6,623,000 for
  the period.  Acquisitions  of Milford  Commons and Arundel  Plaza in December
  1997, of Wayne Heights Plaza in January 1998,  Wayne Avenue Plaza in February
  1998, and DelAlba Plaza in September 1998 ("New Acquisitions") contributed an
  Increase in rental revenues of approximately $1,985,000. The redevelopment of
  Lutherville  Station,  the  development  of North  East  Station,  and  other
  occupancy and net rental increases  contributed  approximately  $1,445,000 in
  net increases.  The increases  were partially  offset by $2,805,000 in rental
  revenue decreases attributable to the March 1997 sale of Union Hills shopping
  center,  the May 1997 sale of the  Plaza  Del Rio  shopping  center,  the
  September  1997 sale of the Gateway  International  Office  project,  and the
  April 1998 sale of Page Plaza shopping center.

         Tenant  recovery  revenues  increased by $1,183,000 to $5,289,000 from
 $4,106,000.  The increased  tenant  recoveries  were primarily due to the JHP
 Acquisition and the New Acquisitions offset by decreases related to the sales
 of properties referred to above.

          Other  revenues  increased  by  $159,000  to  $349,000  from  $190,000
  primarily due to interest income from higher short term investment balances.

          As  a  result  of  the  above  changes  total  revenues  increased  by
 $8,590,000 to $36,414,000 from $27,824,000.

          Interest  expense  decreased by $691,000 to $8,855,000 from $9,546,000
 primarily  due to decreases  related to the conversion of debentures 
 $1,359,000 and the paydown of mortgages and notes payable $1,549,000 partly
 offset by increases related to debt assumed for the JHP acquisition and New
 Acquisitions $2,217,000.

          Depreciation  and  amortization  increased by $1,787,000 to $6,692,000
 from $4,905,000 primarily due to increases related to the JHP Acquisition .

          Operating expenses increased by $852,000 to $7,571,000 from $6,719,000
 primarily due to increased  operating  expenses from JHP and New  Acquisition
 properties offset by reduced operating expenses related to property sales.

          General and administrative expenses increased by $344,000 to 
 $2,066,000 from $1,722,000 due primarily to expense related to nonviable 
 projects and compensation.

          Minority  interest expense  increased by $1,503,000 to $2,237,000 from
 $734,000  due  primarily  to the  addition  of minority  limited  partnership
 interests in connection with the JHP and New Acquisition properties.


          For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, earnings from operations
 increased by $4,794,000 to $8,992,000 from $4,198,000. MART also recognized a
 gain  on  properties  of  $92,000  and an  extraordinary  loss  on the  early
 extinguishment  of debt of $33,000.  The gain on properties and extraordinary
 item, when combined with earnings from  operations,  resulted in net earnings
 of $9,051,000.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, MART recognized
 a loss on properties of $50,000.  The loss on properties,  when combined with
 earnings  from  operations,  resulted in net earnings of  $4,148,000  for the
 period.

Comparison  of three  months ended  September  30, 1998 to three months ended
September 30, 1997

         Rental  revenues  increased  by $626,000 or 6% to  $10,393,000 for the
 three months ended  September 30, 1998 from  $9,767,000  for the three months
 ended September 30, 1997. New Acquisitions  contributed an increase in rental
 revenues of  approximately  $714,000  for the period.  The  redevelopment  of
 Lutherville  Station,  the  development  of North  East  Station,  and  other
 occupancy  and net rental  increases  contributed  approximately  $689,000 in
 rental  increases.  The increases were partially offset by $777,000 in rental
 revenue  decreases  attributable  to the  September  1997 sale of the Gateway
 International  Office project, and the April 1998 sale of Page Plaza shopping
 center.

         Tenant  recovery  revenues  increased by $206,000 to  $1,823,000  from
 $1,617,000.  The increased  tenant  recoveries were primarily due to the New
 Acquisitions,  development  , and  redevelopment  projects  partly offset by
 decreases related to the sales of properties
 referred to above.

   Comparison  of three  months ended  September  30, 1998 to three months ended
September 30, 1997 - Continued
          
          As a result of the above changes total revenues  increased by $895,000
to $12,322,000 from $11,427,000.

          Interest expense decreased by $1,218,000 to $2,965,000 from $4,183,000
 primarily due to the paydown of mortgages payable $873,000,  expenses related
 to the  conversion  of  debentures  $388,000,  partly  offset by increases
 from the debt assumed for New Acquisitions,  the redevelopment of Lutherville
 Station, and credit line borrowings $144,000.

          Depreciation and amortization increased by $223,000 to $2,379,000 from
$2,156,000 primarily due to increases related to New Acquisitions.

          Operating expenses increased by $148,000 to $2,644,000 from $2,496,000
 primarily  due  to  increased   operating   expenses  from  New   Acquisition
 properties,  the redevelopment of Lutherville Station,  and the development
 of North East Station  partly offset by reduced  operating  expenses  related
 to property sales.

          General and administrative expenses increased by $22,000 to $609,000
 from $587,000 due primarily to increased shareholder related
 expense and expense related to nonviable projects.

          Minority  interest  expense  increased  by $149,000  to $746,000  from
 $597,000  due  primarily  to  the  addition  of  minority  limited
 partnership interests in connection with New Acquisitions.

   Cash Flow Comparison
          The  following   discussion  compares  the  statement  of  cash  flows
 information for 1998 with the information for 1997.

          Net cash flow provided by operating  activities  was  $16,260,000 and
$ 9,506,000  in  the  nine  months  ended   September  30,  1998  and, 1997
 respectively.  The changes in cash provided by operating  activities were due
 primarily  to the factors  discussed  above in the  comparisons  of operating
 results.  The level of net cash  provided  by  operating  activities  is also
 affected  by the timing of receipt of revenues  and the payment of  operating
 and interest expenses.

          Net cash flow used in investing activities increased by $30,116,000 to
 $18,936,000 in 1998 from cash provided by investing activities of $11,180,000
 in  1997.  The  increase  was  primarily  a result  of  increased  levels  of
 acquisitions of properties and decreases in proceeds from the sale of 
 properties in 1998.

          Net cash flow used in financing activities decreased by $14,988,000 to
 $4,840,000 in 1998 from $19,828,000 in 1997.  The decrease was primarily a 
 result of a higher level of net principal paydowns in 1997, primarily due to
 a line of credit paydown from proceeds of the sale of the Gateway
 International Office Project.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

      On March  19,  1998,  the  Emerging  Issues  Task  Force of the  Financial
  Accounting Standards Board reached a consensus on Issue 97-11, Accounting for
  Internal Costs Relating to Real Estate Property  Acquisitions" which provides
  that internal costs of identifying and acquiring  operating property incurred
  subsequent to March 19, 1998 should be expensed. The Company has historically
 capitalized the direct  internal costs of identifying and acquiring  property
 and,  accordingly,  realized an  increase in expense in each of the  quarters
 ended June 30,  1998,  and  September  30,  1998.  The Company  estimates  an
 annualized  cost  of  $.01  per  common  share  and  expects  this  level  of
 acquisition costs will continue in the future.

        In May 1998, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial  Accounting
 Standards  Board reached a consensus on Issue 98-9 relating to the accounting
 for contingent rent in interim financial periods. The consensus requires that
 a lessor defer  recognition  of contingent  rental income in interim  periods
 until the  specified  target that  triggers the  contingent  rental income is
 achieved.  The  implementation of this  pronouncement did not have a material
 impact for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998.

   YEAR 2000 ISSUE

        The year 2000 issue  relates to whether  computer  systems will properly
 recognize  date  sensitive   information  to  allow  accurate  processing  of
 transactions  and data relating to the year 2000 and beyond.  Systems that do
 not properly  recognize such  information  could  generate  erroneous data or
 fail.
        As a result of the Company's  normal upgrade and replacement  processes,
 it has been  determined  that all existing  network and desktop  equipment is
 year 2000 compliant.  The Company's mission critical property  management and
 financial   reporting   software   will  require  a  year  2000   programming
 modification.  This  modification  is scheduled for  installation in November
 1998. The Company has determined  that all non-mission  critical  software is
 year 2000 compliant.  As the Company owns primarily  community retail centers
 without enclosed common areas, the use of this technology is very limited and
 management  does not believe  that the year 2000 issue will pose  significant
 problems in these systems. The company expects that the costs to specifically
 remediate year 2000 information technology issues will be minimal.
       The Company  believes the "worst case scenario"  exposure to be indirect
 in nature involving vendors,  suppliers, and tenants.  Currently,  management
 does  not  feel  it  is  possible   to  measure   the  effect  of   potential
 complications.  The Company will continually monitor and evaluate these areas
 and develop contingency plans on an as needed basis.

        (1) Funds from operations as defined by the National Association of Real
 Estate  Investment  Trusts,  Inc.  (NAREIT) -Funds from operations means net
 income   (computed  in  accordance   with  generally   accepted   accounting
 principles),   excluding   cumulative   effects  of  change  in   accounting
 principles,  extraordinary  or unusual items,  and gains or losses from debt
 restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and
 after adjustments for  unconsolidated  partnerships and joint ventures.  FFO
 does not  represent  cash flows  from  operations  as  defined by  generally
 accepted accounting principles (GAAP). FFO is not indicative that cash flows
 are  adequate  to fund  all cash  needs  and is not to be  considered  as an
 alternative to net income as defined by GAAP. The presentation of FFO is not
 normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
