Business ------- -------- Federal Realty Investment Trust (the "Trust") is engaged in the ownership, management, development and redevelopment of prime retail and mixed-use properties. Founded in 1962, the Trust is a self-administered equity real estate investment trust. The Trust, which had been founded as a District of Columbia business trust, re-organized as a Maryland real estate investment trust in May, 1999 by amending and restating its declaration of trust and bylaws. The Trust consolidates the financial statements of various 3

entities which it controls. At December 31, 2000 the Trust owned 123 retail or mixed-use properties and one apartment complex. The Trust operates in a manner intended to enable it to qualify as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for federal income tax purposes. A REIT which distributes at least 95% of its real estate investment trust taxable income to its shareholders each year and which meets certain other conditions will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is required. Beginning in 2001, the distribution requirement for a REIT was lowered from 95% to 90% of its taxable income. An important part of the Trust's strategy has been to acquire older, well- located properties in prime, densely populated and affluent areas and to enhance their operating performance through a program of renovation, expansion, reconfiguration and retenanting. The Trust's traditional focus has been on community and neighborhood shopping centers that are anchored by supermarkets, drug stores or high volume, value oriented retailers that provide consumer necessities. Late in 1994, recognizing a trend of consumer shopping preferences and retailer expansion to main streets, the Trust expanded its investment strategy to include shopping centers and retail and mixed-use buildings in prime established main street shopping areas. In addition, since 1997 the Trust has obtained control of various land parcels for the purpose of developing urban mixed-use projects that center around the retail component. The Trust believes that these mixed-use developments are an important source of future growth. The Trust's diversification from being solely a company focused on acquiring and renovating grocery anchored shopping centers to also being a developer of mixed-use urban properties involves substantial risks, many of which are not entirely within the Trust's control. These factors include among others, the ability to obtain financing, interest rates, the ability to construct at reasonable prices, the demand for retail, residential and office space in the Trust's markets, zoning laws, government regulations and the overall economy. The Trust believes that the geographically desirable locations of these mixed-use urban properties will make these successful projects and positive contributors to the underlying net asset value of the Trust. The Trust continually evaluates its properties for renovation, retenanting and expansion opportunities. Similarly, the Trust regularly reviews its portfolio and from time to time considers selling properties that no longer fit the Trust's investment criteria and therefore should be monetized or exchanged into other real estate assets. Proceeds from the sale of such properties may be used either to acquire other properties, fund the Trust's current development pipeline or, in 2000 and 1999, to repurchase the Trust's common shares. 4

The Trust's portfolio of properties has grown from 71 as of January 1, 1996 to 124 at December 31, 2000. During this five year period the Trust acquired 59 retail properties for approximately $554 million. During this same period six shopping centers were sold. Also during this period the Trust spent over $424 million to develop, renovate, expand, improve and retenant its properties. At December 31, 2000 the Trust has invested $162 million in development in progress of three projects. During 2001 and 2002, the Trust estimates that it will spend $258 million and $161 million, respectively, to complete these three projects, which are located in Bethesda, Maryland, Arlington, Virginia and San Jose, California. Additional projects, which are in various stages of predevelopment, may also begin construction in 2001 and 2002. Although the Trust usually purchases a 100% fee interest in its acquisitions, on occasion, it has entered into leases as a means of acquiring control of properties. In addition, the Trust has purchased certain properties in partnership with others. Certain of the partnerships, known as "downreit partnerships", are a means of allowing property owners to make a tax deferred contribution of their property in exchange for partnership units, which receive the same distributions as Trust common shares and may be convertible into common shares of the Trust. The majority of acquisitions are funded with cash, but, on occasion, debt financing is used. Since a significant portion of cash provided by operating activities is distributed to common and preferred shareholders, capital outlays for acquisitions, developments and redevelopments typically require debt or equity funding. The Trust's 124 properties are located in fifteen states and the District of Columbia. Twenty-six of the properties are located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area; twenty-four are in California; fourteen are in Connecticut; eleven are in Texas; ten are in Pennsylvania, primarily in the Philadelphia area; ten are in New Jersey; eight are in New York; seven are in Illinois; four are in Massachusetts; three are in central Virginia; two are in Florida; two are in Arizona; and there is one in each of the following states: Michigan, North Carolina and Oregon. No single property accounts for over 10% of the Trust's revenues. The Trust has traditionally operated its business as a single business segment. During the fourth quarter of 1998, however, the Trust completed a comprehensive restructuring program which, among other things, changed the Trust's operating structure from a functional hierarchy to an asset management model, where small focused teams are responsible for a portfolio of assets. As a result the Trust has divided its portfolio of properties into three operating regions: the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and West. Each region is operated under the direction of a regional chief operating officer, with dedicated leasing, property management and financial 5

staff and operates largely autonomously with respect to day to day operating decisions. (See "Segment Results" in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for a further discussion of the segments and their results.) The Trust has approximately 2,100 tenants, ranging from sole proprietors to major national retailers; no one tenant or corporate group of tenants accounts for more than 2.1% of revenue. The Trust's leases with these tenants are classified as operating leases and typically are structured to include minimum rents, percentage rents based on tenants' gross sales volumes and reimbursement of certain operating expenses and real estate taxes. The Trust continues to seek older, well-located shopping centers and street retail projects to acquire, renovate, retenant and remerchandise, thereby enhancing their revenue potential. The Trust also continues to identify and secure additional sites for new development of urban mixed-use properties. During each of the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, retail or mixed-use properties have contributed 96% of the Trust's total revenue. The success of the Trust is subject to various risks, including risks associated with changing economic conditions that affect the real estate industry as a whole. Such risks include the following: . competition from other retail properties and developers; . excessive building of comparable properties or increased unemployment in the areas in which its properties are located which may adversely affect occupancy levels or rental rates; . increases in operating costs due to inflation and other factors, which increases may not necessarily be offset by increased rents; . inability or unwillingness of tenants to pay rent increases; . changes in general economic conditions or consumer preferences that affect its tenants or that result in the merger, closing or relocation of its tenants; . limitation by local rental markets of the extent to which rents may be increased to meet increased expenses without decreasing occupancy rates; . future enactment of laws regulating public places, including present and possible future laws relating to access by disabled persons; . risks relating to leverage, including the ability to finance its development pipeline and to refinance its indebtedness, and the risk of higher interest rates; . unsuccessful development activities which could reduce cash flow; . the risk of uninsured losses; and . the risk of not meeting the requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. 6

Investments in real property create a potential for environmental liability on the part of the current and previous owners of, or any mortgage lender on, such real property. If hazardous substances are discovered on or emanating from any property, the owner or operator of the property may be held liable for costs and liabilities relating to such hazardous substances. The Trust has environmental insurance on most of its properties. Subject to certain exclusions and deductibles, the insurance provides coverage for unidentified, pre-existing conditions and for future contamination caused by tenants and third parties. The Trust's current policy is to require an environmental study on each property it seeks to acquire. On recent acquisitions, any substances identified prior to closing which are required, by applicable laws, to be remediated have been or are in the process of investigation and remediation. Costs related to the abatement of asbestos which increase the value of Trust properties are capitalized. Other costs are expensed. In 2000 and 1999 approximately $1,453,000 and $952,000, respectively, was spent on environmental matters, of which $464,000 and $654,000, respectively, was capitalized abatement costs. The Trust has budgeted approximately $800,000 in 2001 for environmental matters, a majority of which is projected for asbestos abatement. Current Developments - -------------------- In 2000 improvements to properties totaled $153.1 million, including $82.1 million on development projects in Bethesda, Maryland; San Jose, California; and Arlington, Virginia. Construction of Woodmont East in Bethesda, Maryland neared completion with the first tenant opening in December 2000 and subsequent openings scheduled in 2001. In November 2000 construction began on the $475 million Phase 1 of Santana Row, a multi-phased mixed-use project to be built on 42 acres in San Jose, California. Santana Row Phase 1 is expected to begin generating revenues in mid-2002 and be stabilized during 2003. Construction also began on the $74 million Pentagon Row project in Arlington, Virginia with a phased-in completion expected throughout 2001. Real estate acquisitions totaling $26.8 million were made in 2000. Such acquisitions consisted of two parcels of land held for future development in Hillsboro, Oregon and Bethesda, Maryland along with three small retail properties. Additionally, in connection with the purchase of the limited partnership interest in Loehmann's Plaza the Trust expended $3.0 million. The Trust invested $5.7 million in mortgage notes receivable with an average weighted interest rate of 10.0%, with $6.2 million of notes being repaid. Peninsula Shopping Center in Palos Verdes, California was sold in June 2000 for $48.6 million, resulting in a gain of $3.7 million. In December 1999, the Trustees authorized a share 7

repurchase program for calendar year 2000 of up to an aggregate of 4 million of the Trust's common shares. A total of 1,325,900 shares were repurchased, at a cost of $25.2 million. The Trust does not expect to repurchase shares in 2001. The Trust utilized its syndicated credit facility to fund these acquisitions, capital expenditures and share repurchases. Repayments on the syndicated credit facility were made from the proceeds of the sale of Peninsula Shopping Center as well as the placement, on October 23, 2000, of a $152 million mortgage loan, which is secured by five shopping centers. In June 2000, the Trust modified certain covenants and extended its syndicated credit facility and its $125 million term loan for an additional year to December 19, 2003. Fees paid for this extension totaled $1.0 million. At December 31, 2000 the Trust had 230 full-time employees.

(2) As of January 1, 2000, Funds from operations is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as income available for common shareholders before depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and before extraordinary items less gains on sale of real estate. Prior to January 1, 2000 funds from operation also excluded significant nonrecurring events. Funds from operations differs from net cash provided by operating activities primarily because funds from operations does not include changes in operating assets and liabilities. Funds from operations is a supplemental measure of performance used in the real estate industry that does not replace net income as a measure of performance or net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Rather, funds from operations has been adopted by real estate investment trusts to provide a consistent measure of operating performance in the industry. Nevertheless, funds from operations, as presented by the Trust, may not be comparable to funds from operations as presented by other real estate investment trusts. 20

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of Operations - ------------- The following discussion should be read together with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of Federal Realty Investment Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust is engaged in the ownership, management, development and redevelopment of prime retail and mixed-use properties. The Trust, which has traditionally acquired and redeveloped strip retail shopping centers, has expanded its investments to the development of urban mixed-used properties. Management continually evaluates the future prospects of its real estate portfolio, not only to identify expansion and renovation opportunities, but also to identify properties that no longer fit the Trust's investment criteria and therefore, should be monetized or exchanged into other real estate assets. At December 31, 2000 the Trust owned 123 retail properties and one apartment complex. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Trust meets its liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operating activities, along with traditional debt and equity funding alternatives available to it. A significant portion of cash provided by operating activities is distributed to common and preferred shareholders in the form of dividends. Accordingly, capital outlays for property acquisitions, major renovation and development projects and balloon debt repayments require debt or equity funding. Proceeds from the sale of selected assets may also provide an additional source of capital in 2001 and 2002. Net cash provided by operating activities was $106.1 million in 2000, $102.2 million in 1999, and $90.4 million in 1998, of which $77.5 million, $76.6 million, and $74.3 million, respectively, was distributed to shareholders. Contributions from newly acquired properties and from retenanted and redeveloped properties, as more fully described below, were the primary sources of these increases. Net cash used in investing activities was $121.7 million in 2000, $99.3 million in 1999, and $187.6 million in 1998. The Trust acquired properties totaling $26.8 million in 2000, $26.4 million in 1999, and $120.4 million in 1998 requiring cash outlays of $23.6 million, $25.3 million, and $92.9 million, respectively. During these same three years the Trust expended an additional $145.8 million, $90.8 million, and $73.0 million in capital improvements to its properties, of which $82.1 million in 2000, $38.7 million in 1999 and $25.0 million in 1998 related to new development. The Trust received mortgage note repayments, net of funds invested, of $494,000 in 2000. The Trust invested, net of loan repayments, $2.3 million, and $21.4 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively, in mortgage notes receivable. The average weighted stated interest rate on these loans was 10.0% for the years 1998 through 2000. Certain of these mortgages also participate in the gross revenues and appreciation and are convertible into ownership interests in the properties by which they are secured. Cash of $47.2 million in 2000 22

and $19.2 million in 1999 was received from the sale of properties. During 2000 the Trust expended cash of $23.6 million to acquire real estate and an additional $145.8 million to improve, redevelop and develop its existing real estate. The Trust purchased the 75,000 square foot Greenlawn Plaza in Greenlawn, New York for $6.2 million. Control of a parcel of land for future development in Hillsboro, Oregon was acquired for $11.7 million; an additional $1.6 million will be owed if certain cash flow criteria are met during the first ten years of operations. Other acquisitions include a parcel of land in Bethesda, Maryland for $461,000; an additional property for the Trust's Houston Street project in San Antonio, Texas for cash of $1.2 million and the assumption of a $345,000 mortgage; a retail building in Santa Monica, California in satisfaction of a $5.2 million mortgage note receivable and cash of $1.7 million; and the $2.3 million redemption of 100,000 partnership units which had been issued in connection with the purchase of the Courthouse Square and Magruders Shopping Centers. Of the $145.8 million spent in 2000 on the Trust's existing real estate portfolio, approximately $82.1 million was invested in development projects in Bethesda, Maryland; San Jose, California; and in Arlington, Virginia. The remaining $63.7 million of capital expenditures relates to improvements to common areas, tenant work and various redevelopments, including the renovation of Greenlawn Plaza, the office expansion and retenanting of Willow Lawn Shopping Center, the renovation of Brunswick Shopping Center, and the redevelopment of retail buildings in Forest Hills, New York, San Antonio, Texas and southern California. The Trust, which held the 1% general partnership interest, obtained an additional 98% general partnership interest in the future operations of Loehmann's Plaza. The minority partner received 190,000 partnership units valued at $3.6 million and the satisfaction of amounts due the Trust from the partnership. Peninsula Shopping Center in Palos Verdes, California was sold in June 2000 for $48.6 million, resulting in a gain of $3.7 million. Net cash provided by financing activities, before dividend payments, was $92.7 million in 2000, $68.3 million in 1999, and $171.7 million in 1998. The Trust utilized the proceeds from the sale of Peninsula Shopping Center and its syndicated credit facility to fund acquisitions, most capital expenditures, share repurchases and balloon debt repayments. On February 29, 2000, the Trust obtained a construction loan for up to $24.5 million in connection with the Trust's Woodmont East development in Bethesda, Maryland. The loan, which has a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.2% to 1.5%, depending on occupancy levels, matures August 29, 2002 with two one-year extension options. At December 31, 2000, the outstanding balance on the loan was $16.2 million. The property secures the construction loan facility. In connection with the land for future development in Hillsboro, Oregon, the Trust issued a $3.4 million note which is due June 30, 2001. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.25%. The property secures the loan facility. The Trust assumed a 23

mortgage with the purchase of the new East Houston Street property in San Antonio, Texas. The mortgage, which matures in October 2008, bears interest at 7.5% and provides for monthly principal and interest payments. On October 23, 2000, the Trust obtained a $152 million mortgage loan which is secured by five shopping centers. The mortgage, which bears interest at 7.95%, matures November 1, 2015 and required an up-front fee of $988,000. The loan provides for interest only payments for the initial three years, then monthly principal and interest payments based on a twenty-seven year amortization schedule until the maturity date. The proceeds from the mortgage loan were used to pay down the Trust's syndicated credit facility. The Trust has a $300 million syndicated credit facility with seven banks, originally due December 2002. This facility requires fees and has various covenants including the maintenance of a minimum shareholders' equity and a maximum ratio of debt to net worth. At December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, $78.0 million, $34.0 million and $134.1 million, respectively, was borrowed under the syndicated credit facility. The maximum borrowed during 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $218.1 million, $205.0 million and $259.1 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings during 2000, 1999 and 1998 was 7.1%, 5.9% and 6.1%, respectively. In December 1998, the Trust obtained a four-year loan of $125 million from five institutional lenders. The loan requires fees and has the same covenants as the syndicated credit facility. The average weighted interest rate on the term loan was 7.4% in 2000 and 6.1% in 1999. In June 2000, the Trust modified certain covenants and extended its syndicated credit facility and its $125 million term loan for an additional year to December 19, 2003. Fees paid for this extension totaled $1.0 million. In July 2000, citing the Trust's pursuit of development and the resultant capital requirements, Standard and Poor's lowered the rating on the Trust's senior notes from BBB+ to BBB flat with a positive outlook. Under the terms of the syndicated credit facility, this lowered rating resulted in an increase in the Trust's borrowing rate from LIBOR plus 65 basis points to LIBOR plus 80 basis points. The interest rate on the term loan increased from LIBOR plus 75 basis points to LIBOR plus 95 basis points. On November 30, 1999 the Trust issued $175 million of 8.75% Notes due December 1, 2009, netting cash proceeds of $172.2 million. The notes pay interest semi-annually on June 1 and December 1. In order to minimize the risk of changes in interest rates, from time to time in connection with the issuance of certain debt issues the Trust will enter into interest rate hedge agreements. In anticipation of the mortgage placement in the third quarter of 2000, the Trust purchased a Treasury Yield Hedge (notional amount of $140 million) to minimize the risk of increased interest rates prior to closing the mortgage. The hedge was terminated on June 30, 2000 at a gain of $165,000 which is being recognized as a reduction of 24

interest expense over the term of the mortgage loan. There were no open hedge agreements at December 31, 2000 and 1999. In December 1999 the Trustees authorized a share repurchase program for calendar year 2000 of up to an aggregate of 4 million of the Trust's common shares. A total of 1,325,900 shares were repurchased, at a cost of $25.2 million. The Trust does not expect to repurchase shares in 2001. Capital requirements in 2001 will depend upon acquisition opportunities, new development efforts, the rate of build-out on the Trust's current development pipeline and the level of improvements and redevelopments on existing properties. The Trust has budgeted approximately $258 million for 2001 for its three developments in progress and $75 million for new development, redevelopments, tenant work and improvements to the core portfolio. The Trust will need additional capital in order to fund acquisitions, expansions and developments, particularly Santana Row, and to refinance its maturing debt. Sources of this funding may be additional debt, both secured and unsecured, additional equity and joint venture relationships. In addition, the Trust has identified certain of its properties that may be exchanged or sold as a source of funding, if the Trust's sales price is met. The Trust's long term debt has varying maturity dates and in a number of instances includes balloon payments or other contractual provisions that could require significant repayments during a particular period. In 2001, $30.7 million of mortgage debt matures, as well as the $3.4 million note held in connection with the land held for future development in Hillsboro, Oregon. The next significant maturities are $25.0 million of Senior Notes, due April 2002 and the Woodmont East construction loan due August, 2002. The construction loan contains two, one-year options to extend. Santana Row In the next several years, the Trust's single largest capital need is expected to come from the development of Santana Row, a multi-phase mixed-use project to be built on 42 acres in San Jose, California in the heart of Silicon Valley. The project will consist of residential, retail and hotel components, creating a community with the feel of an urban district. Phase 1 of the project, for which construction began November 2000, includes Santana Row, the "1,500 foot long main street" framed by nine buildings which will contain approximately 538,000 square feet of retail space, 501 residential units, a 214 room hotel and the supporting infrastructure. Phase 1 is expected to begin generating revenues in mid-2002 and be stabilized during 2003. The total cost of Phase 1, which includes the land and infrastructure for the later phases, is expected to be $475 million. As of December 31, 2000, the Trust has incurred costs of $97 million including the purchase of the land; the trust estimates that it will spend approximately $200 million in 2001 and the balance in 2002 to complete the first phase of the project. The Trust has a signed commitment from three banks for up to $295 million of construction financing for Phase 1. Closing on the commitment is subject to the 25

completion of customary due diligence for loans of this type and funding is subject to satisfaction of leasing and other contingencies. Phase 1, which includes the land and infrastructure for future phases, comprises approximately 40% of the residential and 75% of the retail entitlement currently projected for the entire project. The success of Santana Row will depend on many factors which cannot be assured and are not entirely within the Trust's control. These factors include among others, continued strong demand for retail and residential space at current or increasing prices, the ability to construct the later phases at reasonable prices, the cost of operations, including utilities, the availability and cost of capital and the general economy, particularly in the Silicon Valley. The timing and choice of capital sources will depend on the cost and availability of that capital, among other things. The Trust believes, based on past experience, that access to capital needed to execute its business plan will be available to it. Contingencies - ------------- Pentagon Row is a mixed-use project with the retail component being developed by the Trust and the residential component being developed by an unrelated developer. In October 2000 the general contractor on the project was replaced by the Trust and the residential developer, because of schedule delays and other events that caused the Trust and the residential developer to conclude that the original contractor was either unable or unwilling to comply with its contractual obligations. The Trust and the residential developer filed suit against the original contractor to recover damages that they anticipate they will incur as a result of defaults under the contract. The original contractor filed a counter-claim against the Trust and the residential developer for damages of $7 million plus interest, attorneys' fees and litigation costs. The Trust believes that the counterclaim is generally without merit and that the outcome of the counterclaim will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or on the project. Work continues under the direction of the new general contractor and the Trust does not believe that there will be any material impairment on the project as a result of the schedule delays. In addition, the Trust is involved in various other lawsuits and environmental matters arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that such matters will not have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Trust. Pursuant to the provisions of the Congressional Plaza partnership agreement, in the event of the exercise of put options by another partner, which are currently exercisable and have no expiration date, the Trust would be required to purchase a 37.5% interest at Congressional Plaza at its then fair market value. Based on management's current estimate of fair market value, the Trust's estimated cash requirement upon exercise of the put option is approximately $27 million. 26

Under the terms of six other partnership agreements, if certain leasing and revenue levels are obtained for the properties owned by the partnerships, the limited partners may require the Trust to purchase their partnership interests at a formula price based upon net operating income. The purchase price may be paid in cash or a limited number of common shares of the Trust, at the election of the limited partners. In certain of the partnerships, if the limited partners do not redeem their interest, the Trust may choose to purchase the limited partnership interests upon the same terms. The limited partners of two partnerships owning street retail properties in southern California have exercised their rights under these agreements. The Trust purchased their interests in March 2001 for approximately $18 million, approximately $7 million in common shares of the Trust and the balance in cash. Under the terms of other partnership agreements, the partners may redeem their 904,589 operating units for cash or exchange into the same number of common shares of the Trust, at the option of the Trust. During the third quarter of 2000 the Trust redeemed 100,000 operating units for cash of $2.3 million. As of December 31, 2000 in connection with renovation and development projects, the Trust has contractual obligations of approximately $46 million. 27

Results of Operations - --------------------- The Trust's retail leases generally provide for minimum rents with periodic increases. Most retail tenants pay a majority of on-site operating expenses and real estate taxes. Many leases also contain a percentage rent clause which calls for additional rents based on gross tenant sales. These features in the Trust's leases reduce the Trust's exposure to higher costs caused by inflation and allow it to participate in improved tenant sales. Consolidated Results - -------------------- 2000 vs. 1999 Rental income, which consists of minimum rent, percentage rent and cost recoveries, increased 6.0 % from $245.8 million in 1999 to $260.7 million in 2000. On a same center basis, rental income increased 7.7%, due primarily to the favorable impact of redeveloped and retenanted centers, as well as, increases associated with lease rollovers. Same center basis, in 2000, excludes properties acquired in 2000 and 1999, Peninsula Shopping Center in Palos Verdes, California and Northeast Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia which were sold on June 30, 2000 and October 18, 1999, respectively and properties developed in 2000 and 1999, including Bethesda Row Phase 3 in Bethesda, Maryland, Old Town in Los Gatos, California and Town & Country Shopping Center in San Jose, California which was vacated as the Santana Row development began. Other property income includes items which, although recurring, tend to fluctuate from period to period, such as utility reimbursements, telephone income, merchant association dues, late fees and temporary tenant income. Also included are less regularly recurring items, such as lease termination fees. Other property income remained constant in 2000 compared to 1999. On a same center basis, other property income decreased $473,000 in 2000 compared to 1999, due mostly to decreases in lease termination fees. Rental expenses increased 4.8% from $53.7 million in 1999 to $56.3 million in 2000. On a same center basis, rental expenses increased 6.0% from $49.6 million in 1999 to $52.6 million in 2000, primarily due to general cost increases along with increased snow removal and utility costs in 2000. Rental expense as a percentage of property income, rental income plus other property income, remained constant in both periods at 21%. Real estate taxes increased 6.4% from $25.0 million in 1999 to $26.6 million in 2000. On a same center basis, real estate taxes increased 5.9% due primarily to increased taxes on recently redeveloped properties. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 6.5% from $50.0 million in 1999 to $53.3 million in 2000 reflecting the impact of recent tenant work and property improvements. In 2000, the Trust incurred interest expense of $79.7 million, of which $13.3 million was capitalized, as compared to 1999's $68.4 million, of which $6.9 million was capitalized. The 28

increase in interest expense reflects the additional debt issued to fund the Trust's share repurchase and capital improvement programs and increased borrowing costs. The weighted average interest rate was 8.0% in 2000 compared with 7.6% in 1999. The ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred dividends was 1.40x in 2000 and 1.52x in 1999. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 1.50x in 2000 and 1.70x in 1999. The ratio of funds from operations to combined fixed charges and preferred dividends was 2.0x in 2000 and 2.2x in 1999. Administrative expenses decreased from $15.1 million in 1999 to $13.3 million in 2000. In 1999 the Trust incurred expenses of approximately $2.8 million related to a terminated merger transaction. The decrease in these costs was offset by increased personnel costs and several key new hires. The tight labor market in the Trust's operating regions resulted in higher compensation costs both to existing and new employees. Investors share of operations represents the minority interest in the income of certain properties. The majority of the $2.6 million increase from $3.9 million in 1999 to $6.5 million in 2000 is due to the allocation of operating losses to minority owners in 1999 and 1998 in accordance with the respective partnership agreements. The remainder of the increase represents the minority partners share of increased earnings in certain shopping center and street retail assets. On June 30, 2000, the Trust sold the 296,000 square foot Peninsula Shopping Center located in Palos Verdes, California for $48.6 million resulting in a gain of $3.7 million. During the second quarter of 1999, the Trust recorded a $7.1 million charge, representing the estimated loss on a potential sale of certain assets, principally Northeast Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia, thereby valuing the assets at their estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. On October 18, 1999, the Trust sold Northeast Plaza for $19.6 million, realizing a loss of $6.3 million. As a result of the foregoing items, net income before gain (loss) on the sale of real estate increased from $55.5 million in 1999 to $56.8 million in 2000, while net income increased from $48.4 million in 1999 to $60.5 million in 2000 and net income available for common shareholders increased from $40.5 million to $52.6 million. Growth in net income and funds from operations in 2001 is expected to be slower than in 2000 based on the following factors; there will be a lower contribution from redevelopment projects as much of the Trust's southern California redevelopments were completed in 2000, higher administrative expenses necessitated by tight labor markets and the addition of key positions and a temporary reduction in earnings caused by the demolition of the old Town & Country Shopping Center in 2000 to make way for the new Santana Row development. The growth in 2001 will continue to be primarily dependent on contributions from the core portfolio. Growth of net income from the core portfolio is, in part, dependent on the financial health of the Trust's tenants and on controlling expenses, some of which are beyond the control of the Trust, such as snow removal and real estate tax assessments. The 29

Trust expects that demand for its retail space should remain at its current levels. A weakening of the retail environment could, however, adversely impact the Trust by increasing vacancies and decreasing rents. In past weak retail and real estate environments, the Trust has been able to replace weak and bankrupt tenants with stronger tenants; management believes that due to the quality of the Trust's properties there will continue to be demand for its space. Growth in net income is also dependent on the amount of leverage and interest rates. The Trust's leverage is increasing as it finances its development pipeline. In addition, the Trust will continue to have exposure to changes in market interest rates. If interest rates increase, net income and funds from operations, as well as the ultimate cost of the Trust's development projects, will be negatively impacted. 1999 vs. 1998 Rental income, which consists of minimum rent, percentage rent and cost recoveries, increased 11% from $222.2 million in 1998 to $245.8 million in 1999. If properties acquired and sold in 1999 and 1998 are excluded, rental income increased 6%, with the recently renovated and retenanted centers contributing heavily to the growth, as well as, increases associated with lease rollovers. Other property income includes items, such as utility reimbursements, telephone income, merchant association dues, late fees, temporary income and lease termination fees. Other income increased 9% from $10.3 million in 1998 to $11.2 million in 1999. An increase of $650,000 in temporary tenant income, an area identified by the Trust as one with additional growth opportunity, and an increase of $550,000 in lease termination fees surpassed decreases in telephone income and decreases in marketing dues, as the Trust discontinued marketing funds at certain shopping centers in 1999. Rental expenses increased 8% from $49.5 million in 1998 to $53.7 million in 1999. If properties acquired and sold in 1999 and 1998 are excluded, rental expenses increased 5%. A $1.2 million increase in the write off of tenant work and lease costs associated with bankrupt or terminated leases coupled with a $975,000 increase in snow removal costs offset the decrease in marketing expenses, consistent with the decrease in marketing dues. Real estate taxes increased 7% from $23.3 million in 1998 to $25.0 million in 1999. If properties acquired and sold in 1999 and 1998 are excluded, real estate taxes increased 4%, primarily due to increased taxes on recently redeveloped properties. Depreciation and amortization expense increased 9% from $46.0 million in 1998 to $50.0 million in 1999. If properties acquired and sold in 1999 and 1998 are excluded, depreciation and amortization expense increased 7% due to the impact of recent tenant work and redevelopments. Interest income increased 29% from $5.9 million in 1998 to $7.6 million in 1999 due primarily to the issuance of approximately $24 million of mortgage notes receivable in 1999 and 1998. 30

In 1999 the Trust incurred interest expense of $68.4 million, of which $6.9 million was capitalized, as compared to 1998's $60.2 million, of which $5.1 million was capitalized. The increase in interest expense reflects the additional debt issued to help fund the Trust's 1999 real estate acquisitions and capital improvements of approximately $116 million. The weighted average interest rate was 7.6% in 1999 compared with 8% in 1998. The ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred dividends was 1.52x in 1999 and 1.46x in 1998. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 1.70x in 1999 and 1.65x in 1998. The ratio of funds from operations to combined fixed charges and preferred dividends was 2.2x in 1999 and 1998. Administrative expenses decreased from $16.5 million in 1998 to $15.1 million in 1999. Both years contained unusual expenses. During the third quarter of 1998, the Trust recorded a $4.7 million charge related to a comprehensive restructuring program. During the third quarter of 1999, the Trust, in exploring strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value, considered spinning off certain of its assets and merging the remaining assets with another publicly traded shopping center company. The Trust incurred expenses of approximately $2.8 million in connection with this proposed merger and spin-off which were not consummated. In addition, costs related to abandoned acquisition and development projects increased approximately $1.5 million in 1999 over 1998. Investors' share of operations represents the minority interest in the income of certain properties. One third of the increase from $3.1 million in 1998 to $3.9 million in 1999 is due to the income attributable to the operating partnership units issued upon the acquisition of Kings Court and Leesburg Plaza in the second half of 1998. The majority of the remaining increase represents the minority partners' share of the increased earnings in the southern California street retail assets, many of which have been redeveloped during 1998 and 1999. As a result of the foregoing items, net income before loss on the sale of real estate increased from $45.0 million in 1998 to $55.5 million in 1999, reflecting both the contribution to net income from the Trust's acquisitions and the contribution from the core portfolio, primarily the recently redeveloped and retenanted properties. During the second quarter of 1999, the Trust recorded a $7.1 million charge, representing the estimated loss on the potential sale of certain assets, principally Northeast Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia. On October 18, 1999 the Trust sold Northeast Plaza for $19.6 million, realizing a loss of $6.3 million. Consequently, net income increased from $45.0 million in 1998 to $48.4 million in 1999 with net income available for common shareholders increasing from $37.0 million in 1998 to $40.5 million in 1999. 31

Segment Results - --------------- The Trust has traditionally operated its business as a single business segment. During the fourth quarter of 1998, however, the Trust completed a comprehensive restructuring program which, among other things, changed the Trust's operating structure from a functional hierarchy to an asset management model, where small focused teams are responsible for a portfolio of assets. As a result the Trust has divided its portfolio of properties into three geographic operating regions: Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and West. Each region is operated under the direction of a chief operating officer, with dedicated leasing, property management and financial staff and operates largely autonomously with respect to day to day operating decisions. Incentive compensation, throughout the regional teams, is tied to the net operating income of the respective portfolios. Historical operating results for the three regions are as follows (in thousands): 2000 1999 1998 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rental Income Northeast $113,078 $102,452 $93,632 Mid-Atlantic 114,371 111,624 103,676 West 33,235 31,757 24,878 ---------- ---------- ---------- Total $260,684 $245,833 $222,186 ======== ======== ======== Net Operating Income Northeast $79,685 $74,276 $66,396 Mid-Atlantic 84,346 81,425 76,065 West 24,818 22,665 17,311 ---------- ---------- ---------- Total $188,849 $178,366 $159,772 ======== ======== ======== The Northeast The Northeast region is comprised of 54 assets, extending from suburban Philadelphia north to New York and its suburbs into New England and west to Illinois and Michigan. A significant portion of this portfolio has been held by the Trust for many years although acquisitions, redevelopment and retenanting remain major components to the current and future performance of the region. Several redevelopment projects were completed in 2000, which enhanced revenues and net operating income in 2000. When comparing 2000 with 1999, rental income increased 10% from $102.5 million in 1999 to $113.1 million in 2000. Excluding Greenlawn Plaza in Greenlawn, New York which was acquired on January 5, 2000, on a same center basis, rental income also increased 10%, primarily due to increases at the recently redeveloped and 32

retenanted shopping centers such as, Bala Cynwyd, Lawrence Park, Gratiot, Langhorne Square, and Wynnewood. Net operating income increased 7% from $74.3 million in 1999 to $79.7 million in 2000. Excluding Greenlawn Plaza in Greenlawn, New York which was acquired on January 5, 2000, on a same center basis, net operating income also increased 7%, primarily due to increases at the recently redeveloped and retenanted Bala Cynwyd, Lawrence Park, Gratiot, Langhorne Square, and Wynnewood shopping centers. When comparing 1999 with 1998, rental income increased 9% from $93.6 million in 1998 to $102.5 million in 1999. Excluding properties acquired during the two periods, rental income increased 7%, driven by increases at the recently redeveloped and retenanted Brick, Feasterville, Gratiot, Huntington and Wynnewood shopping centers. Net operating income increased 12% from $66.4 million in 1998 to $74.3 million in 1999. Excluding properties acquired in 1998 and 1999, net operating income increased 9%, primarily due to increases at the recently redeveloped and retenanted Brick, Feasterville, Gratiot, Huntington and Wynnewood shopping centers. The Mid-Atlantic The Mid-Atlantic region is comprised of 32 assets, including Pentagon Row which is currently under development, extending from Baltimore south to metropolitan Washington D.C. and further south through Virginia and North Carolina into Florida. As with the Northeast region, a significant portion of this portfolio has been held by the Trust for many years although acquisitions, redevelopment and retenanting remain major components to its current and future performance. Two of the Trust's major new development projects, Pentagon Row and additional phases of Bethesda Row, will be managed by this regional operating team upon their completion. When comparing 2000 with 1999, rental income increased 3% from $111.6 million in 1999 to $114.4 million in 2000. On a same center basis, excluding Northeast Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia which was sold in 1999 and the recently developed Phase 3 of the Bethesda Row project in Bethesda, Maryland, rental income increased 4%, due in part to new anchor leases at several centers. Net operating income increased 4% from $81.4 million in 1999 to $84.3 million in 2000. On a same center basis as above, net operating income increased 5%, due primarily to new anchor leases and lease termination fees. When comparing 1999 with 1998, rental income increased 8% from $103.7 million in 1998 to $111.6 million in 1999. Excluding properties acquired and sold in 1999 and 1998, rental income increased 5%. Net operating income increased 7% from $76.1 million in 1998 to $81.4 million in 1999. Excluding properties acquired and sold in 1999 and 1998, net operating income increased 3%. 33

The West The West region is comprised of 38 assets, including Santana Row which is currently under development, extending from Texas to the West Coast. Unlike the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, this portfolio is relatively new to the Trust and is part of a deliberate expansion west over the past several years. This region is the fastest growing at the Trust and includes the Trust's largest new development project, Santana Row in San Jose, California. Several redevelopment projects were completed in 2000 and several more are currently underway, particularly in southern California and San Antonio, Texas, which are expected to add to revenues and net operating income in 2001 and future years. When comparing 2000 with 1999 on a same center basis, which excludes newly developed properties, Santana Row, which is currently under development, and properties sold and acquired since January 1, 1999, rental income increased 20% from $19.7 million in 1999 to $23.5 million in 2000, due primarily to recently redeveloped and retenanted properties in the Los Angeles and San Francisco, California areas. On an overall basis, which includes the impact of the sale of Peninsula Shopping Center on June 30, 2000 and the temporary reduction in earnings caused by the demolition of the old Town & Country Shopping Center to make way for the new Santana Row development, rental income increased 5% from $31.8 million in 1999 to $33.2 million in 2000. On the same center basis as defined above, net operating income increased 25% from $14.2 million in 1999 to $17.8 million in 2000, due to increases from the recently redeveloped and retenanted properties in the Los Angeles and San Francisco, California areas. Overall net operating income increased 10% from $22.7 million in 1999 to $24.8 million in 2000, again reflecting the sale of Peninsula Shopping Center and the temporary reduction in earnings caused by the Santana Row development. When comparing 1999 with 1998, rental income increased 28% from $24.9 million in 1998 to $31.8 million in 1999. Excluding properties acquired in 1999 and 1998, rental income increased 11%, driven by the redevelopment of Old Town in Los Gatos, California and several street retail buildings in southern California. Net operating income increased 31% from $17.3 million in 1998 to $22.7 million in 1999. Excluding properties acquired in 1999 and 1998, net operating income increased 14%, driven by the redevelopment of Old Town in Los Gatos, California and several street retail buildings in southern California. 34

Funds from Operations - --------------------- The Trust has historically reported its funds from operations in addition to its net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Funds from operations is a supplemental measure of real estate companies' operating performance. As of January 1, 2000, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) defines funds from operations as follows: income available for common shareholders before depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and before extraordinary items less gains on sale of real estate. Prior to January 1, 2000, funds from operations also excluded significant nonrecurring events. Funds from operations does not replace net income as a measure of performance or net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Rather, funds from operations has been adopted by real estate investment trusts to provide a consistent measure of operating performance in the industry. Nevertheless, funds from operations, as presented by the Trust, may not be comparable to funds from operations as presented by other real estate investment trusts. The reconciliation of net income to funds from operations is as follows (in thousands): Year ended December 31, 2000 1999 1998 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income available for common shareholders $52,573 $40,493 $37,010 Depreciation and amortization of real estate assets 48,456 45,388 41,792 Amortization of initial direct costs of leases 3,514 3,033 2,491 Income attributable to operating partnership units 1,311 831 578 (Gain) loss on sale of real estate (3,681) 7,050 --- Non-recurring items --- --- 4,665 ----------- ----------- ----------- Funds from operations for common shareholders $102,173 $96,795 $86,536 ======== ======= ======= 35

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. - -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Trust's primary financial market risk is the fluctuation in interest rates. At December 31, 2000, the Trust had $232.0 million of variable rate debt. Based upon this balance of variable debt, if interest rates increased 1%, the Trust's earnings and cash flows would decrease by $2.3 million. If interest rates decreased 1%, the Trust's earnings and cash flows would increase by $2.3 million. The Trust believes that the change in the fair value of its financial instruments resulting from a forseeable fluctuation in interest rates would be immaterial to its total assets and total liabilities.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federal Realty Investment Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The financial statement schedules included on pages F-28 through F-33 of the Form 10-K are presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not a required part of the basic consolidated financial statements. These schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Federal Realty Investment Trust NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Federal Realty Investment Trust (the "Trust") is a full-service real estate company, which owns and operates community and neighborhood shopping centers and which owns and develops main street retail properties, retail buildings and mixed-use properties located in densely developed urban and suburban areas. The Trust operates in a manner intended to enable it to qualify as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes. A trust which distributes at least 95% of its real estate investment trust taxable income to its shareholders each year and which meets certain other conditions will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is required. The consolidated financial statements of the Trust include the accounts of the Trust, its wholly owned corporate subsidiaries, several corporations where the Trust has a majority ownership, numerous partnerships and a joint venture, all of which it controls. The equity interests of other investors are reflected as investors' interest in consolidated assets. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Revenue Recognition. Leases with tenants are classified as operating leases. Minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases net of valuation adjustments based on management's assessment of credit, collection and other business risk. Percentage rents, which represent additional rents based on gross tenant sales, are recognized at the end of the lease year or other period in which tenant sales' volumes have been reached and the percentage rents are due. Real estate tax and other cost reimbursements are recognized on an accrual basis over the periods in which the expenditures occurred. Real Estate. Land, buildings and real estate under development are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives range from three to 25 years on apartment buildings and improvements, and from three to 35 years on retail properties and improvements. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to operations as incurred. Tenant work and other major improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the life of the lease and their estimated useful life, respectively. The gain or loss resulting from the sale of properties is included in net income at the time of sale. Upon termination of a lease, undepreciated tenant improvement costs are charged to operations if the assets are replaced and the asset and the corresponding accumulated depreciation are retired. F7

The Trust evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of". In cases where particular assets are being held for sale, impairment is based on whether the fair value (estimated sales price less costs of disposal) of each individual property to be sold is less than the net book value. Otherwise, impairment is based on whether it is probable that undiscounted future cash flows from each property will be less than its net book value. If a property is impaired, its basis is adjusted to its fair market value. The Trust, when applicable as lessee, classifies its leases of land and buildings as operating or capital leases in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases". Certain external and internal costs directly related to the development, redevelopment and leasing of real estate including applicable salaries and their related direct costs are capitalized. The capitalized costs associated with developments, redevelopments and leasing are depreciated or amortized over the life of the improvement and lease, respectively. Unamortized leasing costs are charged to operations if the applicable tenant vacates before the expiration of their lease. Through March 1998, internal costs of preacquisition activities incurred in connection with the acquisition of an operating property were capitalized. On March 19, 1998 the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the Financial Accounting Standards Board reached a consensus opinion on issue #97- 11, "Accounting for Internal Costs Relating to Real Estate Property Acquisitions" which requires that the internal costs of preacquisition activities incurred in connection with the acquisition of an operating property be expensed as incurred. Consequently, the Trust has been expensing these costs since March 1998. Interest costs on developments and major redevelopments are capitalized as part of the development and redevelopment. Debt Issue Costs. Costs related to the issuance of debt instruments are capitalized and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the related issue using the effective interest method. Upon conversion or in the event of redemption, applicable unamortized costs are charged to shareholders' equity or to operations, respectively. Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Trust defines cash as cash on hand, demand deposits with financial institutions and short term liquid investments with an initial maturity under three months. Cash balances in individual banks may exceed insurable amounts from time to time. Risk Management. The Trust has occasionally entered into derivative contracts prior to a scheduled financing or refinancing in order to minimize the risk of changes in interest rates. The derivative contracts are designated as hedges when acquired. The gain or loss on these transactions is recognized as a component of interest expense over the life of the financing. F8

The Trust does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. There were no open derivative contracts at December 31, 2000 or 1999. In June 1998, SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" was issued. This statement established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge of the exposure to certain risks. SFAS No. 137 "Deferral of Effective Date of SFAS No. 133" was issued and delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 133 is effective January 1, 2001 for the Trust. As previously stated, the Trust has no derivatives as of December 31, 2000 and as a result, there is no related transition adjustment upon transition. Acquisition, Development and Construction Loan Arrangements. The Trust has made certain mortgage loans that, because of their nature, qualify as loan receivables. At the time the loans were made the Trust did not intend for the arrangement to be anything other than a financing and did not contemplate a real estate investment. Using guidance set forth in the Third Notice to Practitioners issued by the AICPA in February 1986 entitled "ADC Arrangements" ("the Third Notice"), the Trust evaluates each investment to determine whether the loan arrangement qualifies under the Third Notice as a loan, joint venture or real estate investment and the appropriate accounting thereon; such determination affects the Trust's balance sheet classification of these investments and the recognition of interest income derived therefrom. Generally, the Trust receives additional interest on these loans, however the Trust never receives in excess of 50% of the residual profit in the project (as defined in the Third Notice) and because the borrower has either a substantial investment in the project or has guaranteed all or a portion of the Trust's loan (or a combination thereof) the loans qualify for loan accounting. The amounts under ADC arrangements at December 31, 2000 and 1999 are $47.4 million and $53.5 million, respectively and interest income recognized thereon was $5.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates are prepared using management's best judgment, after considering past and current events. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Comprehensive Income. The Trust has no comprehensive income and therefore does not require separate reporting in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. F9

Earnings Per Share. The Trust calculates basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available for common shareholders by the weighted number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares and then shared in the earnings of the Trust. The following table sets forth the reconciliation between basic and diluted EPS (in thousands): 2000 1999 1998 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Numerator - --------- Net income available for common shareholders - basic $52,573 $40,493 $37,010 Income attributable to operating partnership units 1,311 831 578 ------- ------- ------- Net income available for common shareholders - diluted $53,884 $41,324 $37,588 ======= ======= ======= Denominator - ----------- Denominator for basic EPS- weighted average shares 38,796 39,574 39,174 Effect of dilutive securities Stock options and awards 155 214 292 Operating partnership units 959 850 614 ------- ------- ------- Weighted average shares - diluted 39,910 40,638 40,080 ======= ======= ======= Stock options are accounted for in accordance with APB 25, whereby if options are priced at fair market value or above at the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

NOTE 1: REAL ESTATE AND ENCUMBRANCES A summary of the Trust's properties at December 31, 2000 and 1999 is as follows (in thousands): Accumulated depreciation and 2000 Cost amortization Encumbrances - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Retail properties $1,633,448 $276,982 $ 202,300 Retail properties under capital leases 214,805 68,564 121,611 Apartments 6,660 5,712 - ---------- -------- -------- $1,854,913 $351,258 $323,911 ========== ======== ======== 1999 Retail properties $1,506,684 $251,946 $ 50,547 Retail properties under capital leases 208,135 60,487 122,026 Apartments 6,640 5,488 - ---------- -------- -------- $1,721,459 $317,921 $172,573 ========== ======== ======== During 2000, the Trust expended cash of $23.6 million to acquire real estate and an additional $145.8 million to improve, redevelop and develop its existing real estate. The Trust purchased the 75,000 square foot Greenlawn Plaza in Greenlawn, New York for $6.2 million. Control of a parcel of land for future development in Hillsboro, Oregon was acquired for $11.7 million; an additional $1.6 million will be owed if certain cash flow criteria are met during the first ten years of operations. Other acquisitions include a parcel of land in Bethesda, Maryland for $461,000; an additional property for the Trust's Houston Street project in San Antonio, Texas for cash of $1.2 million and the assumption of a $345,000 mortgage; a retail building in Santa Monica, California in satisfaction of a $5.2 million mortgage note receivable and cash of $1.7 million; and the $2.3 million redemption of 100,000 operating partnership units which had been issued in connection with the purchase of Courthouse Square and Magruders Shopping Centers. Of the $145.8 million spent in 2000 on the Trust's existing real estate portfolio, approximately $82.1 million was invested in development projects in Bethesda, Maryland; San Jose, California; and in Arlington, Virginia. The remaining $63.7 million of capital expenditures relates to improvements to common areas, tenant work and various redevelopments, including the renovation of Greenlawn Plaza, the office expansion and retenanting of Willow Lawn Shopping Center, the renovation of Brunswick Shopping Center, and the redevelopment of retail buildings in Forest Hills, New York, San Antonio, Texas and southern California. The Trust, which held the 1% general partnership interest, obtained F11

an additional 98% general partnership interest in the future operations of Loehmann's Plaza. The minority partner received 190,000 partnership units valued at $3.6 million and the satisfaction of amounts due the Trust from the partnership. The Trust's 123 retail properties at December 31, 2000 are located in 15 states and the District of Columbia. There are approximately 2,100 tenants providing a wide range of retail products and services. These tenants range from sole proprietorships to national retailers; no one tenant or corporate group of tenants accounts for more than 2.1% of revenue. Mortgage notes receivable of $47.4 million are due over various terms from January 2001 to May 2021 and have an average weighted interest rate of 10.0%. Under the terms of certain of these mortgages, the Trust will receive additional interest based upon the gross income of the secured properties and, upon sale of the properties, the Trust will share in the appreciation of the properties. On June 30, 2000, the Trust sold the 296,000 square foot Peninsula Shopping Center located in Palos Verdes, California for $48.6 million resulting in a gain of $3.7 million. During the second quarter of 1999,the Trust recorded a $7.1 million charge, representing the estimated loss on the potential sale of certain assets, principally Northeast Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia. On October 18, 1999 the Trust sold Northeast Plaza for $19.6 million, realizing a loss of $6.3 million. Mortgages payable and capital lease obligations are due in installments over various terms extending to 2016 and 2060, respectively, with interest rates ranging from 5.5% to 11.25%. Certain of the capital lease obligations require additional interest payments based upon property performance. There were no maturing mortgages in 2000 or 1999. In 1998 the Trust paid off maturing mortgages totaling $53.5 million. On October 23, 2000, the Trust obtained a $152 million mortgage loan which is secured by five shopping centers. The mortgage, which bears interest at 7.95%, matures November 1, 2015 and required an up-front fee of $988,000. The loan provides for interest only payments for the initial three years, then monthly principal and interest payments based on a twenty-seven year amortization schedule until the maturity date. The proceeds from the mortgage loan were used to pay down the Trust's syndicated credit facility. In anticipation of the mortgage loan placement in the third quarter of 2000, the Trust purchased a Treasury Yield Hedge (notional amount of $140 million) to hedge the risk of changes in interest rates. The hedge was terminated on June 30, 2000 at a gain of $165,000 which is being recognized as a reduction of interest expense over the term of the mortgage loan. F12

NOTE 2. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - ------------------------------------------- The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by the Trust, using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimates of fair value. The estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments. The Trust estimates the fair value of its financial instruments using the following methods and assumptions: (1) quoted market prices, when available, are used to estimate the fair value of investments in marketable debt and equity securities; (2) quoted market prices are used to estimate the fair value of the Trust's marketable convertible subordinated debentures; (3) discounted cash flow analyses are used to estimate the fair value of mortgage notes receivable and payable, using the Trust's estimate of current interest rates for similar notes; (4) carrying amounts in the balance sheet approximate fair value for cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short term borrowings. Notes receivable from officers are excluded from fair value estimation since they have been issued in connection with employee stock ownership programs.

The loan, due December 2002, requires fees and has the same covenants as the syndicated credit facility. In June 2000, the Trust modified certain covenants and extended the maturity date to December 19, 2003 of its syndicated credit facility and its $125 million term loan. Fees paid for this extension totaled $1.0 million. The Trust is in compliance with all covenants. In July 2000, citing the Trust's pursuit of development and the resulting capital requirements, Standard and Poor's lowered the rating on the Trust's senior notes from BBB+ to BBB flat with a positive outlook. Under the terms of the syndicated credit facility, this lowered rating resulted in an increase in the Trust's borrowing rate from LIBOR plus 65 basis points to LIBOR plus 80 basis points. The interest rate on the term loan increased from LIBOR plus 75 basis points to LIBOR plus 95 basis points. The maximum drawn under these facilities during 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $343.1 million, $330.0 million and $259.1 million, respectively. In 2000, 1999 and 1998 the weighted average interest rate on borrowings was 7.2%, 5.9% and 6.1%, respectively, and the average amount outstanding was $283.2 million, $296.4 million and $163.6 million, respectively. On February 29, 2000, the Trust obtained a construction loan for up to $24.5 million in connection with the Trust's Woodmont East development in Bethesda, Maryland. The loan, which has a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.2% to 1.5%, depending on occupancy levels, matures August 29, 2002 with two one-year extension options. At December 31, 2000, the outstanding balance on the construction loan was $16.2 million. No principal payments are due until maturity. The property secures the construction loan facility. F16

In connection with the land held for future development in Hillsboro, Oregon, the Trust issued a $3.4 million note which is due June 30, 2001. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.25%. The property secures the loan facility. NOTE 4. 5 1/4% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES - -------------------------------------------------- In October 1993 the Trust issued $75.0 million of 5 1/4% convertible subordinated debentures, realizing cash proceeds of approximately $73.0 million. The debentures were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and were not publicly distributed within the United States. The debentures, which mature in 2003, are convertible into shares of beneficial interest at $36 per share. The debentures are redeemable by the Trust, in whole, at any time after October 28, 1998 at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. At December 2000 and 1999 the Trust had outstanding $289,000 of 5 1/4% convertible subordinated debentures due 2002. The debentures which are convertible into shares of beneficial interest at $30.625 were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and were not publicly distributed within the United States. The Trust is in compliance with the terms of these borrowings. No principal is due on these notes prior to maturity. NOTE 5. SENIOR NOTES AND DEBENTURES - ----------------------------------- Unsecured senior notes and debentures at December 31, 2000 and 1999 consist of the following (in thousands): 2000 1999 - --------------------------------------------------------------- 8.875% Notes due January 15, 2000 $ - $100,000 8% Notes due April 21, 2002 25,000 25,000 6.74% Medium-Term Notes due March 10, 2004 39,500 39,500 6.625% Notes due December 1, 2005 40,000 40,000 6.99% Medium-Term Notes due March 10, 2006 40,500 40,500 6.82% Medium-Term Notes due August 1, 2027, redeemable at par by holder August 1, 2007 40,000 40,000 7.48% Debentures due August 15, 2026, redeemable at par by holder August 15, 2008 50,000 50,000 8.75% Notes due December 1, 2009 175,000 175,000 -------- -------- $410,000 $510,000 ======== ======== On January 17, 2000 the Trust's $100 million of 8.875% Notes matured and were paid with borrowings from the Trust's syndicated credit facilities. The loan agreements contain various covenants, including limitations on the amount of debt and minimum debt service coverage ratios. The Trust is in compliance with all covenants. No principal is due on these notes prior to maturity. F17

In September 1998 the Trust filed a $500 million shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission which allows the issuance of debt securities, preferred shares and common shares. As of December 31, 2000, $325 million is available under the shelf registration. NOTE 6. DIVIDENDS ----------------- On November 2, 2000 the Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.47 per common share, payable January 15, 2001 to common shareholders of record January 2, 2001. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, $.11, $.16, and $.31 of dividends paid per common share, respectively, represented a return of capital. On November 2, 2000 the Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.49687 per share on its Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, payable on January 31, 2001 to shareholders of record on January 15, 2001. For the year ended December 31, 2000, $.04 of dividends paid per common share and per preferred share represent a capital gain. There were no capital gains in 1999 or 1998. NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - ------------------------------------- Pentagon Row is a mixed-use project with the retail component being developed by the Trust and the residential component being developed by an unrelated residential developer. In October 2000 the general contractor on the project was replaced by the Trust and the residential developer, because of schedule delays and other events that caused the Trust and the residential developer to conclude that the original contractor was either unable or unwilling to comply with its contractual obligations. The Trust and the residential developer filed suit against the original contractor to recover damages that they anticipate they will incur as a result of defaults under the contract. The original contractor filed a counter-claim against the Trust and the residential developer for damages of $7 million plus interest, attorneys' fees and litigation costs. The Trust believes that the counterclaim is generally without merit and that the outcome of the counterclaim will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or on the project. Work continues under the direction of the new general contractor and the Trust does not believe that there will be any material impairment on the project as a result of the schedule delays. In addition, the Trust is involved in various other lawsuits and environmental matters arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that such matters will not have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Trust. F18

Pursuant to the provisions of the Congressional Plaza partnership agreement, in the event of the exercise of put options by another partner, which are currently exercisable and have no expiration date, the Trust would be required to purchase a 37.5% interest at Congressional Plaza at its then fair market value. Based on management's current estimate of fair market value, the Trust's estimated liability upon exercise of the put option is approximately $27 million. Under the terms of six other partnership agreements, if certain leasing and revenue levels are obtained for the properties owned by the partnerships, the limited partners may require the Trust to purchase their partnership interests at a formula price based upon net operating income. The purchase price may be paid in cash or a limited number of common shares of the Trust, at the election of the limited partners. In certain of the partnerships if the limited partners do not redeem their interest, the Trust may choose to purchase the limited partnership interests upon the same terms. The limited partners of two partnerships, owning street retail properties in southern California, have exercised their rights under these agreements. The Trust purchased their interests in March 2001 for approximately $18 million, approximately $7 million in common shares of the Trust and the balance in cash. Under the terms of certain other partnership agreements, the partners may exchange their 904,589 operating partnership units for cash or exchange into the same number of common shares of the Trust, at the option of the Trust. During the third quarter of 2000 the Trust redeemed 100,000 operating units for cash of $2.3 million As of December 31, 2000 in connection with renovation and development projects, the Trust has contractual obligations of approximately $46 million. The Trust is obligated under ground lease agreements on several shopping centers requiring minimum annual payments as follows (in thousands): 2001 $4,095 2002 4,321 2003 4,398 2004 4,409 2005 4,463 Thereafter 278,608 -------- $300,294 ======== NOTE 8. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY - ---------------------------- In May 1999, the Trust reorganized as a Maryland real estate investment trust by amending and restating its declaration of trust and bylaws. The Amended Declaration of Trust changed the number of authorized shares of common and preferred shares from unlimited to 100,000,000 and 15,000,000, respectively. In addition, all common shares of beneficial F19

interest, no par value, which were issued and outstanding were changed to common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share and all Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of beneficial interest, no par value, which were issued and outstanding were changed to Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share. On October 6, 1997 the Trust issued four million 7.95% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares at $25 per share in a public offering, realizing cash proceeds of approximately $96.6 million after costs of $3.4 million. The Series A Preferred Shares are not redeemable prior to October 6, 2002. On or after that date, the Preferred Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Trust, at a redemption price of $25 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. The redemption price is payable solely out of proceeds from the sale of other capital shares of the Trust. Dividends on the Preferred Shares are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of January, April, July and October. The Trust has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan, whereby shareholders may use their dividends and make optional cash payments to purchase shares. In 2000, 1999, and 1998, 153,713 shares, 165,770 shares, and 167,511 shares, respectively, were issued under the Plan. In December 1999, the Trustees authorized a share repurchase program for calendar year 2000 of up to an aggregate of 4 million of the Trust's common shares. A total of 1,325,900 shares were repurchased, at a cost of $25.2 million. The Trust does not expect to repurchase shares in 2001. In 2000, 270,809 common shares were awarded to the Trust's president and other key employees under various incentive compensation programs designed to directly link a significant portion of their current and long term compensation to the prosperity of the Trust and its shareholders. The shares vest over terms from 3 to 8 years. In 1999, 65,660 common shares were awarded, and 5,006 shares were forfeited and retired, to the Trust's president and other key employees under various incentive compensation programs. Fifteen thousand shares vested upon award, and the balance vest over terms from 5 to 13 years. In 1998, 576,055 common shares, of which 35,000 were issued from treasury shares, were awarded to the Trust's president and certain other officers under various incentive compensation programs. Ten thousand shares vested upon award, 491,055 shares vest over terms from 5 to 13 years, and 75,000 shares vest upon the obtainment of certain performance criteria. In January 1994 under the terms of the 1993 Long Term Incentive Plan, an officer of the Trust purchased 40,000 common shares at $25 per share with the assistance of a $1.0 million loan from the Trust. The loan, which has a term of 12 years and a current balance of $562,500, bears interest at F20

6.24%. Forgiveness of up to 75% of the loan is subject to the future performance of the Trust. One eighth of the loan was forgiven on January 31, 1995 and an additional one sixteenth has been forgiven each January 31 since then as certain performance criteria of the Trust were met. In January 1991 the Trustees adopted the Federal Realty Investment Trust Share Purchase Plan. Under the terms of this plan, officers and certain employees of the Trust purchased 446,000 common shares at $15.125 per share with the assistance of loans of $6.7 million from the Trust. Originally, the Plan called for one sixteenth of the loan to be forgiven each year for eight years, as long as the participant was still employed by the Trust. The loans for all participants, but two, were modified in 1994 to extend the term an additional four years and to tie forgiveness in 1995 and thereafter to certain performance criteria of the Trust. One sixteenth of the loan has been forgiven during each year of the plan. At December 31, 2000 the Trust has outstanding purchase loans to participants of $1.4 million. The purchase loans bear interest at 9.39%. The shares purchased under the plan may not be sold, pledged or assigned until both the purchase and tax loans associated with the plan are satisfied and the term has expired, without the consent of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees. Tax loans with a balance of $2.2 million in 2000, $1.3 million in 1999 and $1.1 million in 1998 have been made in connection with restricted share grants to the Trust's President, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer and in connection with the Share Purchase Plans. The loans, which bear interest ranging from 6.36% to 9.39%, are due over periods ranging from 8 to 13 years from the date of the loan. On April 13, 1999, the Shareholder Rights Plan adopted in 1989 expired. On March 11, 1999 the Trust entered into an Amended and Restated Rights Agreement with American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, pursuant to which (i)the expiration date of the Trust's shareholder rights plan was extended for an additional ten years to April 24, 2009, (ii)the beneficial ownership percentage at which a person becomes an "Acquiring Person" under the plan was reduced from 20% to 15%, and (iii)certain other amendments were made. NOTE 9. STOCK OPTION PLAN - ------------------------- The 1993 Long Term Incentive Plan ("Plan") has been amended to authorize the grant of options and other stock based awards for up to 5.5 million shares. Options granted under the Plan have ten year terms and vest in one to five years. Under the Plan, on each annual meeting date during the term of the Plan, each nonemployee Trustee will be awarded 2,500 options. The option price to acquire shares under the 1993 Plan and previous plans is required to be at least the fair market value at the date of grant. As a result of the exercise of options, the Trust had outstanding from its officers and employees notes for $2.6 million, $3.6 million and $3.4 F21

million at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The notes issued under the 1993 Plan bear interest at the dividend rate on the date of exercise divided by the purchase price of such shares. The notes issued under the previous plans bear interest at the lesser of (i) the Trust's borrowing rate or (ii) the current indicated annual dividend rate on the shares acquired pursuant to the option, divided by the purchase price of such shares. The notes are collateralized by the shares and are with recourse. The loans have a term extending to the employee's or officer's retirement date. SFAS Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" requires pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as if the Trust accounted for its stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for options issued in 2000, 1999, and 1998 has been estimated as $549,000, $434,000, and $2.6 million, respectively, as of the date of grant, using a binomial model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 5.2%, 5.4%,and 5.7%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Trust's shares of 14%, 15%, and 19%; and a weighted average expected life of the option of 5.7 years, 6.6 years, and 6.3 years. Because option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, such as the expected stock price volatility, and because changes in these subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing model may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock options. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options are amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The pro forma information is as follows (in thousands except for earnings per share): 2000 1999 1998 - -------------------------------------------------------------- Pro forma net income $59,445 $46,368 $43,179 Pro forma earnings per share, basic $1.33 $.97 $.90 Pro forma earnings per share, diluted $1.32 $.97 $.88 F22

A summary of the Trust's stock option activity for the years ended December 31, is as follows: Shares Weighted Under Average Option Exercise Price ------ -------------- January 1, 1998 2,848,342 $24.73 Options granted 1,293,500 25.06 Options exercised (228,908) 21.14 Options forfeited (304,118) 25.62 --------- December 31, 1998 3,608,816 25.00 Options granted 720,000 21.12 Options exercised (52,667) 20.73 Options forfeited (380,635) 25.29 --------- December 31, 1999 3,895,514 24.31 Options granted 737,500 19.75 Options exercised (67,684) 20.50 Options forfeited (847,049) 24.27 --------- December 31, 2000 3,718,281 23.46 ========= At December 31, 2000 and 1999, options for 2.3 million and 1.9 million shares, respectively, were exercisable. The average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was 8.1 years and 6.7 years, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value per option for options granted in 2000 and 1999 was $.72 and $.65, respectively. The exercise price of options outstanding at December 31, 2000 ranged from $18.00 per share to $27.13 per share. NOTE 10. SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLANS - ------------------------------------- The Trust has a savings and retirement plan in accordance with the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Employees' contributions range, at the discretion of each employee, from 1% to 20% of compensation up to a maximum of $10,500. Under the plan, the Trust, out of its current net income, contributes 50% of each employee's first 5% of contributions. In addition, the Trust may make discretionary contributions within the limits of deductibility set forth by the Code. Employees of the Trust are immediately eligible to become plan participants. Employees are not eligible to receive matching contributions until their first anniversary of employment. The Trust's expense for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $216,000, $223,000 and $218,000, respectively. A nonqualified deferred compensation plan for Trust officers was established in 1994. The plan allows the officers to defer future income until the earlier of age 65 or termination of employment with the Trust. As of December 31, 2000, the Trust is liable to participants for approximately $2.4 million under this plan. Although this is an unfunded F23

plan, the Trust has purchased certain investments with which to match this obligation. NOTE 11. INTEREST EXPENSE - ------------------------- The Trust incurred interest expense totaling $79.7 million, $68.4 million and $60.2 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, of which $13.3 million, $6.9 million, and $5.1 million respectively, was capitalized. Interest paid was $83.1 million in 2000, $67.0 million in 1999, and $57.8 million in 1998. NOTE 12. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - -------------------------------- During 1999 while exploring strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value, the Trust considered spinning off certain of its assets (primarily those related to the development and operation of its main street retail program) in a taxable transaction to shareholders. Shortly thereafter, the remaining assets of the Trust were to be merged with another publicly traded shopping center company in exchange for cash and stock consideration. On September 24, 1999, the Trust announced that merger negotiations were terminated and that the spin-off was being reevaluated. In preparing for these transactions, the Trust incurred expenses of approximately $2.8 million related to legal, accounting, tax and other advisory services related to the spin-off and the merger. Such costs have been expensed and are reflected as administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations At September 30, 1998 the Trust recorded a $4.7 million charge related to a comprehensive restructuring program, the implementation of which was begun during the fourth quarter of 1998. All costs related to the reorganization have been expended as of December 31, 2000. NOTE 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS - -------------------------- Under a Restricted Share Agreement designed to link his compensation with the prosperity of the shareholders, the Trust's Chief Executive Officer elected to accept stock in lieu of cash for both his 2000 bonus and his 2001 salary. As a result, in 2001, 35,000 common shares were awarded to the Chief Executive Officer in lieu of his 2001 cash salary and 26,869 shares were awarded in lieu of his 2000 cash bonus. The shares vest at the end of five years if the Chief Executive Officer is still employed by the Trust. Pursuant to the 1999 Incentive Bonus Plan, vice presidents and certain key employees receive part of their 2000 bonus in Federal Realty shares which vest over three years. Consequently, on February 14, 2001, 23,390 shares were awarded under this plan. F24

On February 16, 2001, the Trust bought the land underlying the capital lease obligation, thereby, terminating the capital lease on Brick Plaza in Brick, New Jersey for $28 million. Concurrent with this transaction, the mortgage note receivable of $3.2 million owed to the Trust by the lessor was repaid. NOTE 14. SEGMENT INFORMATION - ---------------------------- The Trust traditionally operated its business as a single business segment. During the fourth quarter of 1998, however, the Trust completed a comprehensive restructuring program which, among other things, divided its portfolio of assets into three geographic operating regions: Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and West. F25

Exhibit 10.xxxi AMENDMENT TO RESTRICTED SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENT TO PROMISSORY NOTE This Amendment to Restricted Share Award Agreement and Amendment to Promissory Note (this "Amendment") is made as of December 8, 2000, between Federal Realty Investment Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the "Trust"), and Ron D. Kaplan, an individual employee of the Trust (the "Key Employee"). WHEREAS, the Trust and the Key Employee entered into that certain Restricted Share Award Agreement dated as of January 1, 1998, setting forth the terms of the award by the Trust to the Key Employee under the Trust's Amended and Restated 1993 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Amended Plan") of a Restricted Share Award of 50,000 shares of beneficial interest of the Trust (such shares being hereinafter referred to as the "Restricted Shares" and such agreement being hereinafter referred to as the "Restricted Share Agreement"); and WHEREAS, the Restricted Share Agreement provides for the Trust to make a Tax Loan to the Key Employee each time the Restriction Period lapses with regard to a number of Restricted Shares, in the amount of fifty percent of the aggregate value of such Restricted Shares, in order to enable the Key Employee to pay state and federal taxes on the income created by the lapsing of the Restriction Period on such Restricted Shares, and for such Tax Loan to be secured by all the Restricted Shares as to which the Restriction Period has lapsed (the "Vested Shares"); and WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Committee") has determined that it is unnecessary for the Tax Loans to be secured by all of the Vested Shares and that the Trust's interests would be adequately protected by requiring each such Tax Loan to be secured instead by that number of shares having an aggregate value on the date of vesting equal to 125% of the amount of the Tax Loan. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual promises herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 1. Paragraph 4 of the Restricted Share Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: -1-

"Tax Loan. (a) The Trust shall extend loans to the Key Employee -------- from time to time to provide him with funds to pay the federal and state taxes that he will incur as a result of the lapsing of the Restriction Period with respect to Restricted Shares except with respect to federal and state taxes incurred as a result of the lapsing of the Restriction Period with respect to Restricted Shares under Paragraph 3.3 ("Tax Loans"). The Key Employee will execute promissory notes in the form attached to this Agreement to evidence his obligation to repay such Tax Loans. As of each date a Tax Loan is extended to the Key Employee, the dollar amount of such Tax Loan so issued to the Key Employee hereunder shall not exceed 50% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares awarded to the Key Employee hereunder as to which the Restriction Period has then lapsed. As collateral to secure his obligation to repay any Tax Loan extended to him hereunder and any accrued but unpaid Interest on such Tax Loan, the Key Employee hereby (i) pledges to the Trust that number of Restricted Shares awarded to him hereunder as to which the Restriction Period has lapsed having an aggregate value which is equal on the date of the Tax Loan to 125% of the amount of such Tax Loan, and (ii) assigns to the Trust all quarterly cash or other dividends paid on such Restricted Shares. (b) In the event of a Change in Control, the Trust shall extend a loan to the Key Employee to provide him with funds to pay the federal and state income taxes that he will incur as a result of (i) the forgiveness of any Tax Loans extended under Paragraph 4(a) and (ii) receipt of the Income Tax Payment (in accordance with Paragraph 3.3) (the "Change in Control Tax Loan"). The Key Employee will execute a promissory note in the form attached to this Agreement to evidence his obligation to repay such Change in Control Tax Loan." 2. The last sentence of Paragraph 1 of the Tax Note dated March 31, 1998, made by the Key Employee in favor of the Trust is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: "The performance of the Borrower's obligations hereunder is secured by (a) a pledge of that number of Shares as to which the Restriction Period has lapsed under the Restricted Share Award Agreement having an aggregate value which is equal, on the date a Loan is made, to 125% of the principal amount of the Loan, and (b) an assignment to Payee of all quarterly cash Dividends paid on such Shares sufficient to pay the Interest (as hereinafter defined) hereon." -2-

3. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment, unless otherwise defined herein, have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Restricted Share Agreement. 4. Except as specifically modified hereby, the Restricted Share Agreement and Tax Note remain in full force and effect, and the Trust and the Key Employee hereby ratify and reaffirm each and all of the terms and provisions of the Restricted Share Agreement and Tax Note as modified hereby. 5. This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts with the same effect as if each of the signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust has caused this Amendment to be duly executed and the Key Employee has hereunto set his hand effective as of the day and year first above written.
