PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS References to "we," "us," "our" or the "Trust" refer to Federal Realty Investment Trust and our business and operations conducted through our directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries. GENERAL We are an equity real estate investment trust specializing in the ownership, management, development and redevelopment of high quality retail and mixed-use properties. As of December 31, 2002, we owned or had an interest in 58 community and neighborhood shopping centers comprising over 12 million square feet, primarily located in densely populated and affluent communities throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United States. In addition, we owned 55 urban and retail mixed-use properties comprising over 2 million square feet and one apartment complex, all located in strategic metropolitan markets across the United States. Our properties, excluding Santana Row, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Santana Row", were 95.5% leased at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001. Including Santana Row, we were 94.7% leased at December 31, 2002. We have paid quarterly dividends to our shareholders continuously since our founding in 1962, and have increased our dividend rate for 35 consecutive years. We operate our business on an asset management model, where small focused teams are responsible for a portfolio of assets. We have divided our portfolio of properties into three operating regions: the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and West. Each region is operated under the direction of an asset manager, with dedicated leasing, property management and financial staff and operates largely autonomously with respect to day to day operating decisions. Our principal executive offices are located at 1626 East Jefferson Street, Rockville, Maryland 20852 and our telephone number is (301) 998-8100. Our Web site address is www.federalrealty.com. The information contained in our Web site is not a part of this report. BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES Our primary business objective is to own, manage, redevelop and acquire a portfolio of commercial retail properties, with the dominant property type being grocery anchored community and neighborhood shopping centers, that will: . provide increasing cash flow for quarterly distributions to shareholders; . protect investor capital; . provide potential for capital appreciation; and . generate high internal growth as compared to our retail REIT peers. Our traditional focus has been on grocery anchored community and neighborhood shopping centers. Late in 1994, recognizing a trend of consumer shopping preferences and retailer expansion to main streets, we expanded our investment strategy to include "street retail" and "mixed-use" properties. The mixed-use properties are typically centered around a retail component but may also include office, residential and hotel components, in established main street shopping areas. In addition, from 1997 through 2001 we undertook the ground-up development of mixed-use projects in urban areas that center around the retail component. On - 4 -

February 28, 2002, our Board of Trustees approved the adoption of a business plan which returned our primary focus to our traditional business of owning, managing, redeveloping and acquiring community and neighborhood shopping centers anchored by grocery stores, drug stores or high volume, value oriented retailers that provide consumer necessities. We will complete our mixed-use projects in San Jose, California and Bethesda, Maryland, but will not pursue any further new, large-scale ground-up development projects. The Pentagon Row mixed-use development project, located in Arlington, Virginia, was completed during 2002. OPERATING STRATEGIES Our core operating strategy is to aggressively manage our properties to maintain high occupancy rates and a strong diverse base of tenants. Our properties are generally located in some of the most densely populated and affluent areas of the country. These strong demographics help our tenants generate sales which enables us to maintain higher occupancy rates, high rental rates, and consistent rental rate growth, all of which lead to increased value of our portfolio. Our operating strategies also include: . maintaining a diversified tenant base, thereby limiting exposure to any one tenant's financial difficulties; . monitoring the credit mix of our tenant base to achieve a balance of strong national and regional credit tenants with more local specialty tenants; . minimizing overhead and operating costs; . monitoring the physical appearance of our properties and the construction quality, condition and design of the buildings and other improvements located on our properties to maximize their effectiveness in their individual markets; . developing local and regional market expertise in order to capitalize on market and retailing trends; . leveraging the contacts and experience of our management team to build and maintain long-term relationships with tenants and financing sources; . increasing rental rates through the renewal or releasing of expiring leases at higher rental rates and limiting vacancy; and . providing exceptional customer service. INVESTING STRATEGIES Our investment strategy calls for deploying capital at risk-adjusted rates of return that exceed our weighted average cost of capital in projects that have potential for going-forward net income growth equal to, or in excess of, that or our core portfolio of properties. Our investments primarily fall into one of following three categories: . renovate, expand, reconfigure and/or retenant our existing properties to take advantage of under utilized land and increase our internal growth rate; . re-lease anchor tenant spaces with tenants capable or producing higher sales, and therefore, paying higher rents than the prior tenant. In certain cases, this may take the form of expanding an existing tenant that is performing well but is occupying an outdated store format; and . acquire community and neighborhood shopping centers, located in densely populated or growing affluent areas where barriers to entry or further development are high, with possibilities for enhancing their operating performance through renovation, expansion, reconfiguration and/or retenanting. - 5 -

INVESTMENT CRITERIA When we evaluate potential redevelopments, retenanting, expansion and acquisition opportunities, we consider such factors as: . the expected returns in relation to our cost of capital as well as the anticipated risk we will face in achieving the expected returns; . the tenant mix at the property, tenant sales performance and the creditworthiness of those tenants; . the geographic area in which the property is located, including the population density and household incomes, as well as the density and income trends in that geographic area; . the current market value of the land, buildings and other improvements and the potential for increasing those market values; . the physical condition of the land, buildings and other improvements, including the structural and environmental condition; . competitive conditions in the vicinity of the property, including competition for tenants and the ability to create competing properties through new construction or through renovation; and . access to and visibility of the property and potential for new, widened or realigned roadways on the properties trade area, which may effect access and commuting and shopping patterns. FINANCING STRATEGIES Our financing strategies are designed to maintain a strong balance sheet while maintaining sufficient flexibility to fund our operating and investing activities in the most cost efficient way possible. Our financing strategies include: . taking advantage of market opportunities to refinance existing debt, reduce interest costs and manage our debt maturity schedule; . actively managing our exposure to variable-rate debt; . maintaining a prudent level of overall leverage and an adequate pool of unencumbered properties; . utilizing the most advantageous source of capital available to us to finance redevelopment and acquisition opportunities, which may include: . the sale of equity or debt securities through public offerings or private placements, . the incurrence of indebtedness through secured or unsecured borrowings, . the issuance of operating units in one of our "downREIT partnerships," which generally receive the same distributions as our common shares and may be convertible into our common shares, in exchange for a tax deferred contribution of property, or . the use of joint venture arrangements; and . selling properties that have limited growth potential or are not a strategic fit within our overall portfolio and redeploying the proceeds to redevelop, retenant and/or expand our existing properties, acquire new properties or reduce debt. EMPLOYEES At December 31, 2002, we had 270 full-time employees. None of the employees is represented by a collective bargaining unit. We believe that the relationship with our employees is good. - 6 -

TAX STATUS We elected under Section 856(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code, to be taxed as a REIT under the Code beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 1962. As a REIT we are generally not subject to federal income tax on REIT taxable income that we distribute to our shareholders. Under the Code, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including the requirement to distribute at least 90% of REIT taxable income each year. We will be subject to federal income tax on our REIT taxable income (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) at regular corporate rates if we fail to qualify as a REIT for tax purposes in any taxable year. We will also not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost. Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to certain state and local income and franchise taxes and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed REIT taxable income. In addition, certain of our subsidiaries are subject to federal, state and local income taxes. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS AFFECTING OUR PROPERTIES We and our properties are subject to a variety of federal, state and local environmental, health, safety and similar laws, including: . the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, which we refer to as CERCLA; . the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act; . the Federal Clean Water Act; . the Federal Clean Air Act; . the Toxic Substances Control Act; . the Occupational Safety & Health Act; and . the Americans with Disabilities Act. The application of these laws to a specific property that we own will be dependent on a variety of property-specific circumstances, including the former uses of the property, the building materials used at each property and the physical layout of each property. Under certain environmental laws, principally CERCLA, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up certain hazardous or toxic substances, asbestos-containing materials, or petroleum product releases at the property. They may also be held liable to a governmental entity or third parties for property damage and for investigation and clean up costs such parties incur in connection with the contamination, whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the contamination. In addition, some environmental laws create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with the contamination. The owner or operator of a site also may be liable under common law to third parties for damages and injuries resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the site. Such costs or liabilities could exceed the value of the affected real estate. The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral. - 7 -

Our compliance with existing environmental, health, safety and similar laws has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, and management does not believe it will have such an impact in the future. In addition, we have not incurred, and do not expect to incur any material costs or liabilities due to environmental contamination at properties we currently own or have owned in the past. However, we cannot predict the impact of new or changed laws or regulations on our current properties or on properties that we may acquire in the future. We have no current plans for substantial capital expenditures with respect to compliance with environmental, health, safety and similar laws. COMPETITION Numerous commercial developers and real estate companies compete with us in seeking tenants for properties and properties for acquisition. Some of these competitors may posses greater capital resources than we do, however, no single competitor or group of competitors in any of our chosen markets is believed to be dominant in that market. This competition may: . reduce properties available for acquisition or development; . increase the cost of properties available for acquisition or development; . reduce rents payable to us; . interfere with our ability to attract and retain tenants; . lead to increased vacancy rates at our properties; and . adversely affect our ability to minimize expenses of operation. Retailers at our properties also face increasing competition from outlet stores, discount shopping clubs, and other forms of marketing of goods, such as direct mail, internet marketing and telemarketing. This competition could contribute to lease defaults and insolvency of tenants. DEVELOPMENTS SINCE SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 On November 19, 2002, we completed the sale of $150 million of senior notes in an underwritten public offering. Net proceeds, after deducting the discounts and commissions to the underwriters and other expenses of the offering, totaled approximately $148.7 million. We used the net proceeds, together with $20 million in available insurance proceeds relating to the Santana Row fire, and approximately $7.1 million in borrowings under our revolving credit facility, to pay in full and retire the Santana Row construction loan. On December 20, 2002, we announced the resignation of Steven J. Guttman as Trustee, chief executive officer and chairman of the Board of Trustees effective January 1, 2003. Donald C. Wood, our then president and chief operating officer, was named chief executive officer and a member of the Board of Trustees. Mark Ordan, a member of the Board of Trustees since 1996, was named non-executive chairman of the board. On January 9, 2003, we announced the opening of a new 62,000 square foot Giant Food and Pharmacy, representing Phase V of Bethesda Row. Total development costs for Phase V of Bethesda Row were $3.6 million. On January 15, 2003, we announced that three of our five Kmart locations were on the list of 326 stores that Kmart intends to close. The three properties are located in Queens, New York, - 8 -

Flourtown, Pennsylvania and Leesburg, Virginia. As of December 31, 2002, the three properties represented approximately 0.7% of our annualized base rent and 2.1% of our total square footage. Based upon the demographics at these centers and the rent being paid by Kmart we believe that these spaces can be re-leased on favorable terms. On February 7, 2003, we announced plans for Phase II of Santana Row, which includes 84,000 square feet of retail space on two pad sites and 275 additional parking spaces. Within Phase II, 95% of the retail space has been pre-leased to Best Buy and The Container Store. Total development costs are expected to be approximately $27 million. On February 11, 2003 the $24.4 million Woodmont East construction loan and the $17.0 million Friendship Center mortgage were paid off through borrowings under our revolving credit facility. CODE OF ETHICS On February 12, 2003, our Board of Trustees adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, controller and certain other officers performing similar functions. Our Board also adopted on February 12, 2003 a Code of Business Conduct applicable to all employees. Copies of both the Code of Ethics and the Code of Business Conduct are available in the Investor Information section of our website at www.federalrealty.com. Amendments to the Code of Ethics or Code of Business Conduct or waivers that apply to our executive officers or our senior financial officers will be disclosed in that section of our website as well. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES GENERAL As of December 31, 2002, we owned or had an interest in 58 community and neighborhood shopping centers comprising over 12 million square feet, primarily located in densely populated and affluent communities throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United States. In addition, we owned 55 urban and retail mixed-use properties comprising over 2 million square feet and one apartment complex, all located in strategic metropolitan markets across the United States. No single property accounted for over 10% of our 2002 total revenue. We believe that our properties are covered by adequate commercial general, fire, flood and extended loss insurance provided by reputable companies, with commercially reasonable exclusions, deductibles and limits. We operate our business on an asset management model, where small focused teams are responsible for a portfolio of assets. We have divided our portfolio of properties into three operating regions: the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and West. Each region is operated under the direction of an asset manager, with dedicated leasing, property management and financial staff and operates largely autonomously with respect to day to day operating decisions. TENANT DIVERSIFICATION As of December 31, 2002, we had approximately 2,100 tenants, ranging from sole proprietors to major national retailers. No one tenant or affiliated group of tenants accounted for more than 2.5% of our annualized base rent as of December 31, 2002. As a result of our tenant diversification, we believe our exposure to recent bankruptcy filings in the retail sector has not - 9 -

been significant. Our largest tenant to declare bankruptcy, Kmart Corporation, accounted for less than 1% of our 2002 total revenue and 3.3% of our leasable square footage. On January 15, 2003, we announced that three of our five Kmart locations were on the list of 326 stores that Kmart intends to close. The three properties are located in Queens, New York, Flourtown, Pennsylvania and Leesburg, Virginia. As of December 31, 2002, the three properties represented approximately 0.7% or our annualized base rent and 2.1% of our total square footage. Based on the demographics at these centers and the rent being paid by Kmart we believe that these spaces can be re-leased on favorable terms. GEOGRAPHIC DIVERSIFICATION Our 114 properties are located in 14 states and the District of Columbia. The following table shows, by region and state within the region, the number of properties, the gross leasable area (in square feet) and the percentage of total portfolio gross leasable area in each state as of December 31, 2002.

LEASES, LEASE TERMS AND LEASE EXPIRATIONS Our leases are classified as operating leases and typically are structured to include the monthly payment in advance of minimum rents with periodic increases, percentage rents based on our tenants' gross sales volumes and reimbursement of a majority of on-site operating expenses and real estate taxes. These features in our leases reduce our exposure to higher costs caused by inflation and allow us to participate in improved tenant sales. Leases on apartments are generally for a period of one year or less. Retail property leases generally range from 3 to 10 years; however certain leases with anchor tenants may be longer. Many of the leases contain provisions allowing the tenant the option of extending the term of the lease at expiration at rates which often include fixed rent increases, consumer price index adjustments or other market rate adjustments from the prior base rent. Our properties, including our recently opened Santana Row development, were 94.7% leased at December 31, 2002. The following table sets forth the schedule of lease expirations for our leases in place as of December 31, 2002 for each of the 10 years beginning with 2003, assuming that none of the tenants exercises or has exercised renewal options.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Neither we nor any of our properties are currently subject to any material legal proceeding nor, to our knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against us or any of our properties. Under our leases, tenants are typically obligated to indemnify us from and against all liabilities, costs and expenses imposed upon or asserted against us (1) as owner of the properties due to certain matters relating to the operation of the properties by the tenant, and (2) where appropriate, due to certain matters relating to the ownership of the properties prior to their acquisition by us. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SHAREHOLDERS No matters were submitted to a vote of our shareholders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR OUR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS Our common shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "FRT." Listed below are the high and low closing prices of our common shares as reported on the New York Stock Exchange and the dividends declared for each of the periods indicated. PRICE PER SHARE DIVIDENDS DECLARED PER SHARE ------------------- ------------------------------- HIGH LOW ------ -------- 2002 Fourth quarter $ 28.75 $ 24.55 $ 0.485 Third quarter 27.85 23.70 .485 Second quarter 28.50 25.56 .48 First quarter 26.34 22.93 .48 2001 Fourth quarter $ 23.67 $ 21.04 $ 0.48 Third quarter 23.71 20.32 .48 Second quarter 21.56 18.98 .47 First quarter 20.20 19.06 .47 On March 20, 2003, we estimate that there were 35,787 holders of record of our common shares. Our ongoing operations generally will not be subject to federal income taxes as long as we maintain our REIT status and distribute to shareholders at least 100% of our taxable income. Under the Code, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including the requirement to distribute at least 90% of REIT taxable income. State income taxes are not material. - 19 -

Future distributions will be at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will depend on our actual net income available for common shareholders, financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Board of Trustees deems relevant. We have paid quarterly dividends to our shareholders continuously since our founding in 1962 and have increased our annual dividend rate for 35 consecutive years. Our total annual dividends paid per share for 2002 and 2001 were $1.925 per share and $1.89 per share, respectively. The annual dividend amounts are different from total distributions calculated for tax purposes. Distributions to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes generally will be taxable to a shareholder as ordinary dividend income. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a nontaxable reduction of the shareholder's basis in such shareholder's shares, to the extent thereof, and thereafter as taxable capital gain. Distributions that are treated as a reduction of the shareholder's basis in its shares will have the effect of deferring taxation until the sale of the shareholder's shares. No assurances can be given regarding what portion, if any, of distributions in 2003 or subsequent years will constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. During a year in which a REIT earns a net long-term capital gain, the REIT can elect under Code Sec. 857(b)(3) to designate a portion of dividends paid to shareholders as capital gain dividends. If this election is made, then the capital gain dividends are taxable to the shareholder as long-term capital gains. During 2002, a portion of the distributions was designated as a capital gain dividend. Following is the income tax status of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 to common shareholders: 2002 2001 ---------- ---------- Ordinary dividend income $ 1.555 $ 1.890 Capital gain .370 - Return of capital - - ---------- ---------- $ 1.925 $ 1.890 ========== ========== Distributions on our 7.95% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and our 8.5% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares are payable at the rate of $1.9875 and $2.125 per share per annum, prior to distributions on our common shares. We do not believe that the preferential rights available to the holders of our preferred shares or the financial covenants contained in our debt agreements will have an adverse impact on our ability to pay dividends in the normal course to our common shareholders or to distribute amounts necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT. - 20 -

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies' operating performance. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines FFO as follows: income available for common shareholders before - 21 -

depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and before extraordinary items less gains on sale of real estate. NAREIT developed FFO as a relative measure of performance and liquidity of an equity REIT in order to recognize that the value of income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. However, FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP (which, unlike FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events in the determination of net income); should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance; and is not necessarily indicative of cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to pay dividends. We consider FFO a meaningful, additional measure of operating performance because it primarily excludes the assumption that the value of the real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, and because industry analysts have accepted it as a performance measure. Comparison of our presentation of FFO to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs. For a reconciliation of net income available for common shareholders to FFO, please see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Financial Condition and Results of Operations- Funds From Operations." 3) Includes a $8.5 million restructuring charge incurred in the first quarter of 2002 and a $13.8 million restructuring charge incurred in the fourth quarter of 2002. Excluding these charges, Funds from Operations would have been $112.8 million. 4) Earnings consist of income before gain (loss) on sale of real estate and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest on borrowed funds (including capitalized interest), amortization of debt discount and expense and the portion of rent expense representing an interest factor. Preferred share dividends consist of dividends paid on our outstanding Series A preferred shares and Series B preferred shares. 5) EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that means net income or loss plus interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization; adjusted for gain or loss on sale of assets, impairment provisions, provision for loss on equity securities and other nonrecurring expenses. EBITDA is presented because it provides useful information regarding our ability to service debt, EBITDA should not be considered an alternative measure of operating results or cash flow from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other REITs. 6) Includes an $8.5 million restructuring charge incurred in the first quarter of 2002 and a $13.8 million restructuring charge incurred in the fourth quarter of 2002.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in Item 8 of this report. Historical results set forth in Selected Financial Information, the Financial Statements and Supplemental Data included in Item 6 and Item 8 and this section should not be taken as indicative of our future operations. This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Also, documents that we "incorporate by reference" into this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including documents that we subsequently file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we refer to as the SEC, will contain forward-looking statements. When we refer to forward-looking statements or information, sometimes we use words such as "may," "will," "could," "should," "plans," "intends," "expects," "believes," "estimates," "anticipates" and "continues." In particular, the risk factors included or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K describe forward-looking information. The risk factors describe risks that may affect these statements but are not all-inclusive, particularly with respect to possible future events. Many things can happen that can cause actual results to be different from those we describe. These factors include, but are not limited to: . risks that our tenants will not pay rent; . risks of financing, such as our ability to consummate additional financings or obtain replacement financing on terms which are acceptable to us, our ability to comply with our existing financial covenants and the possibility of increases in interest rates that would result in increased interest expense; . risks normally associated with the real estate industry, including risks that we may be unable to renew leases or relet space at favorable rents as leases expire, that new acquisitions and our development, construction and renovation projects, including our Santana Row project, may fail to perform as expected, that competition for acquisitions could result in increased prices, environmental risks, and, because real estate is illiquid, that we may not be able to sell properties when appropriate; . risks that our growth will be limited if we cannot obtain additional capital; and . risks related to our status as a real estate investment trust, commonly referred to as a REIT, for federal income tax purposes, such as our obligation to comply with complex tax regulations relating to our status as a REIT, the effect of future changes in REIT requirements as a result of new legislation and the adverse consequences if we fail to qualify as a REIT. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements or those incorporated into this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We also make no promise to update any of the forward-looking statements. You should carefully review the risks and the risk factors incorporated herein by reference from our Form 8-K filed on March 25, 2003, as well as the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K or referred to in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, before making any investment in us. OVERVIEW We are an equity real estate investment trust specializing in the ownership, management, development and redevelopment of high quality retail and mixed-use properties. As of December 31, 2002, we owned or had an interest in 58 community and neighborhood shopping - 23 -

centers comprising over 12 million square feet, primarily located in densely populated and affluent communities throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United States. In addition, we owned 55 urban and retail mixed-use properties comprising over 2 million square feet and one apartment complex, all located in strategic metropolitan markets across the United States. Our properties, excluding Santana Row were 95.5% leased at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001. Including Santana Row our occupancy was 94.7% at December 31, 2002. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which we refer to as GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that in certain circumstances affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses. These estimates are prepared using management's best judgment, after considering past and current events and economic conditions. In addition, information relied upon by management in preparing such estimates includes internally generated financial and operating information, external market information when available, and when necessary, information obtained from consultations with third party experts. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The most significant accounting policies which involve the use of estimates and assumptions as to future uncertainties and, therefore, may result in actual amounts that differ from estimates, are as follows. Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable Leases with tenants are classified as operating leases. Base 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. We make estimates of the collectibility of our accounts receivable related to base rents, including straight line rentals, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income. In some cases the ultimate collectibility of these claims extends beyond one year. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income. We believe that our revenue recognition policies comply with both generally accepted accounting principles and the Securities and Exchange Commissions Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, Revenue Recognition. Real Estate Land, buildings and real estate under development are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from three to 50 years on buildings and improvements. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to operations as incurred. Tenant work and other major improvements, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Certain external and internal costs directly related to the development, redevelopment and leasing of real estate, including applicable salaries and the 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 its lease. Undepreciated tenant work is charged to operations if the applicable tenant vacates and the tenant work is replaced. When applicable as lessee, we classify our leases of land and building as operating or capital leases in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 13, "Accounting for Leases." We are required to use judgment and make estimates - 24 -

in determining the lease term, the estimated economic life of the property and the interest rate to be used in applying the provisions of SFAS No. 13. These estimates determine whether or not the lease meets the qualification of a capital lease and is recorded as an asset. We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our real estate for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis. These assessments have a direct impact on net income. Should we lengthen the expected useful life of an asset, it would be depreciated over a greater number of years, resulting in less annual depreciation expense and higher annual net income. Likewise, we must make subjective assumptions as to which costs should be capitalized. These assumptions also have a direct impact on net income. Interest costs on developments and major redevelopments are capitalized as part of developments and redevelopments not yet placed in service. Capitalization of interest commences when development activities and expenditures begin and end upon completion, which is when the asset is ready for its intended use. Generally, rental property is considered substantially complete and ready for its intended use upon completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year from completion of major construction activity. We make judgments as to the time period over which to capitalize such costs and these assumptions have a direct impact on net income because capitalized costs are not subtracted in calculating net income. If the time period is extended, more interest is capitalized, thereby increasing net income. Long-Lived Assets Through December 31, 2001, we evaluated the carrying value of our long-lived assets in accordance with 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 estimated fair market value. In August 2001 the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (effective for us on January 1, 2002). SFAS No. 144 requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly-acquired, and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include components of an entity comprising operations and cash flows that can be distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes from the rest of the entity. We are required to make estimates of undiscounted cash flows in determining whether there is an impairment. Actual results could be significantly different from the estimates. These estimates have a direct impact on net income, because recording an impairment charge results in a negative adjustment to net income. Contingencies We are sometimes involved in lawsuits and environmental matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the amount and - 25 -

likelihood of loss relating to these matters. These estimates and assumptions have a direct impact on net income. OUTLOOK Growth in net income and FFO during 2003 will depend primarily on growth in the core portfolio. Growth of net income from the core portfolio depends, in part, on the general economy, the financial health of our tenants and on our ability, directly or indirectly, to control expenses, some of which are beyond our complete control, such as snow removal, insurance and real estate tax assessments. The current weakening of the retail and overall economic environment could adversely impact us by increasing vacancies and decreasing rents. In past weak retail and real estate environments, however, we have been able to replace weak and bankrupt tenants with stronger tenants. Management believes that due to the quality of our properties there will continue to be demand for our space. Our properties, excluding Santana Row were 95.5% leased at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001. Including Santana Row our occupancy was 94.7% at December 31, 2002. Growth in the core portfolio, however, will be offset by expenses at Santana Row. Operating and marketing expenses, as well as additional depreciation and interest expense as the project is phased into operations will have a dilutive effect on 2003 earnings. As a result of the August 2002 fire at Santana Row, as more fully described in this section at "Santana Row", the projected opening of certain retail spaces have been delayed and approximately 50% of the total residential units for the project scheduled to be phased into service throughout 2003 were destroyed. These delayed openings, while lowering the income we will receive, will not substantially reduce the costs associated with maintaining and operating the infrastructure of the project. Growth in net income is also dependent on the amount of our leverage and interest rates. Our leverage has increased as we financed our development projects. In addition, to the extent variable-rate debt is unhedged, we will continue to have exposure to changes in market interest rates although we have reduced this exposure as of December 31, 2002 as compared to December 31, 2001. If interest rates increase, net income and FFO, as well as the ultimate cost of our development and redevelopment projects, will be negatively impacted. 2002 PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS Acquisitions We did not acquire any properties in 2002. Dispositions On April 11, 2002, we sold the street retail property located at 252 Greenwich Avenue in Greenwich, Connecticut for $16.5 million, resulting in a gain of $7.0 million. On April 30, 2002, we sold three street retail properties, two in Westport, Connecticut and one in Westfield, New Jersey, for $19.2 million, resulting in a gain of $6.9 million. On June 6, 2002, we sold the Uptown Shopping Center located in Portland, Oregon for $20.8 million, resulting in a gain of $4.5 million. - 26 -

The proceeds from the sales of the four street retail properties and the Uptown Shopping Center were used to pay down our syndicated credit facility except $16.0 million which was used to pay down the Santana Row construction loan. As of December 31, 2002 all of the proceeds previously held by the qualified intermediary have been released to us. On June 18, 2002, a partnership, in which one of our subsidiaries is the general partner, sold the street retail property located at 6410 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California for $2.3 million, resulting in a gain of $700,000. On June 20, 2002, the proceeds of $6 million previously held by a qualified intermediary from the 2001 sale of the street retail property located at 101 East Oak Street in Chicago, Illinois were released to us. 2002 FINANCING DEVELOPMENTS On February 1, 2002, we received the minority partner's interest in Santana Row in exchange for a $2.6 million investment in a partnership. We made a $5.9 million loan to the partnership on January 12, 2001, that is due February 28, 2003. The loan was not repaid on the due date. We are currently exploring all available options we may have as a result of the borrowers failure to pay at maturity. On June 12, 2002 we issued 2.2 million common shares at $25.98 per share netting $56.6 million, after all expenses of the offering. On November 19, 2002, we completed the sale of $150 million of senior notes in an underwritten public offering under our shelf registration statement declared effective by the SEC on September 30, 1998. Net proceeds, after deducting the discounts and commissions to the underwriters and other expenses of this offering, totaled approximately $148.7 million. We used the net proceeds, together with $20 million in available insurance proceeds relating to the Santana Row fire, and approximately $7.1 million in borrowings under our credit facility, to pay in full and retire the Santana Row construction loan, including all interest owed on the loan. SANTANA ROW In 2002, our single largest capital need was the development of Santana Row, a multi-phase mixed-use project being 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 I of the project includes Santana Row, the "1,500 foot long main street" and eight buildings which will contain approximately 444,000 square feet of retail space, 255 residential units, a 213 room hotel and the supporting infrastructure. The first building, containing 40,000 square feet and occupied by Crate & Barrel, opened on June 27, 2002. Six buildings comprising approximately 317,000 square feet of retail space opened on November 7, 2002. Tenants in the final 87,000 square foot building in Phase I are expected to begin opening in early 2003. As of February 4, 2003, approximately 320,000 square feet, or 73%, of the Phase I retail space is leased, of which approximately 200,000 square feet, or 46%, of the Phase I retail space is open. On August 19, 2002 a fire broke out at Building Seven in the Santana Row project. Building Seven contained approximately 87,000 square feet of retail space, approximately 1,000 parking spaces and 246 residential units. All but eleven of the residential units in the building, which were originally scheduled to open in early 2003, were destroyed. The retail units and parking structure sustained water and smoke damage but were not structurally impaired. The opening of these retail units, originally scheduled for September 2002, will be delayed until early 2003. The damage related to the fire was limited almost entirely to this single building. We believe that our insurance coverage will substantially cover our losses from the fire. We estimate the insurance claim to be in the range of $70 million to $90 million which includes - 27 -

costs to clean-up, repair and rebuild as well as soft (non-construction) costs and lost rents. The cause of the fire is unknown but will not affect our insurance claim. On October 22, 2002, a $20 million insurance reimbursement was advanced by the insurance carrier bringing the total amount received to date to $21 million. This advance, along with the proceeds from the November 19, 2002 note offering and borrowings under our credit facility, were used to pay in full and retire the Santana Row construction loan. Because our final insurance claim has not yet been submitted, insurance proceeds expected to be received over and above those received to date have not been recorded in our December 31, 2002 financial statements. We estimate the total cost of Phase I to be approximately $445 million, net of anticipated insurance proceeds. Insurance proceeds could exceed our $70 to $90 million estimate due to increased fire related costs. Insurance proceeds increased by such costs would therefore not reduce our anticipated Phase I investment below $445 million. As of December 31, 2002, before applying the $21 million of insurance proceeds received to date, we have incurred costs of $434 million including the purchase of all of the project's, land, the construction of Phase I, costs associated with the Building Seven fire and related cleanup and costs related to future phases of the project. We estimate that we will spend approximately $38 million, before insurance reimbursements, in 2003 relating to the completion of Phase I of the project. We are evaluating our Building Seven residential options and alternatives taking into account costs incurred to date, costs to rebuild and market conditions and believe that we will be able to rebuild a residential component for Building Seven on economically favorable terms as part of a future phase of the project. The success of Santana Row will depend on many factors which cannot be assured and are not entirely within our control. These factors include among others, the demand for retail and residential space, the cost of operations, including utilities and insurance, the availability and cost of capital and the general economy, particularly in the Silicon Valley. On February 7, 2003, we announced plans for Phase II of Santana Row, which includes 84,000 square feet of retail space on two pad sites and 275 additional parking spaces. 95% of the Phase II retail space has been pre-leased to Best Buy and The Container Store. Total development costs are expected to be approximately $27 million. We have not determined the scope of future phases of Santana Row and will not do so until the success of Phase I, Phase II and future demand for rental space is determined. However, as Phases I and II utilize only part of the retail and residential entitlements of the property, and as Phase I includes the costs of land and infrastructure for future phases, we expect to identify and execute relatively small, additional phases on economically favorable terms. - 28 -

NEW BUSINESS PLAN, RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND CEO TRANSITION On February 28, 2002, we adopted a new business plan which returned our primary focus to our traditional business of acquiring and redeveloping community and neighborhood shopping centers that are anchored by supermarkets, drug stores, or high volume, value oriented retailers that provide consumer necessities. We will complete Bethesda Row and Santana Row (Pentagon Row was completed in 2002) but do not plan to develop any new large-scale, mixed-use, ground-up development projects. Rather, we will seek to acquire income producing centers around our existing markets and will identify and execute redevelopment opportunities in our existing portfolio. Concurrent with the adoption of the business plan, we adopted a management succession plan and restructured our management team. In connection with this change in our business plan, we recorded a charge of $18.2 million. This charge included a reserve for a restructuring charge of $8.5 million made up of $6.9 million of severance and other compensation costs for several of our senior officers related to the management restructuring, as well as the write-off of $1.6 million of development costs. All charges against the reserve, totaling $8.5 million, were expended during 2002. An additional component of the restructuring charge is an impairment loss of $9.7 million representing the estimated loss on the abandonment of development projects held for sale, primarily the Tanasbourne development project located in Portland, Oregon, thereby adjusting the value of these assets to their estimated fair value. We are marketing these properties for sale. The carrying value of these properties as of December 31, 2002, classified on our consolidated balance sheet as real estate under development, is $8.5 million. On December 20, 2002, we announced the resignation of Steven J. Guttman as Trustee, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Trustees effective January 1, 2003. Donald C. Wood, our then President and Chief Operating Officer, was named Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Trustees. Mark Ordan, a member of the Board of Trustees since 1996, was named non-executive chairman of the board. As a result of this transition, we recorded a charge of $13.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2002 for payments and benefits to Mr. Guttman pursuant to his contractual arrangements with us and for other transition related costs. Of this amount, $7.9 had not been paid as of December 31, 2002, the majority of which was paid in the first quarter of 2003. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of 2002 to 2001 Throughout this section, we have provided certain information on a "same center" basis. Information provided on a same center basis is provided only for those properties owned and operated in the periods being compared and includes properties which were redeveloped or expanded during the periods being compared. Properties purchased or sold and properties under development during the periods being compared are excluded. - 29 -

REVENUE Total revenues increased $23.7 million, or 8.0%, to $318.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $295.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The primary components of the increase in total revenues are discussed below. Rental Income. Rental income consists of minimum rent, percentage rent and cost recoveries for common area maintenance and real estate taxes. The increase in rental income of $23.5 million, or 8.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, is attributable to: . an increase of $8.1 million in rental income attributable to the properties acquired subsequent to January 1, 2001 and properties under development in 2001 and 2002 which phased into service during 2001 and 2002, specifically Santana Row and Pentagon Row. These increases were offset by properties sold in 2001; and . an increase of $15.4 million, or 5.7%, on a same center basis due primarily to the increased rental rates at redeveloped and retenanted centers, as well as increased rental rates associated with lease rollovers and higher cost recoveries as a result of increased rental expenses and real estate tax expenses. Same center basis for the year ended December 31, 2002 excludes the six properties sold in 2002, the Williamsburg Shopping Center in Williamsburg, Virginia, 101 E. Oak Street in Chicago, Illinois and 70/10 Austin Street in Forest Hills, New York which were sold in 2001, Friendship Center in Washington, D.C. which was purchased on September 21, 2001, the office building located at 580 Market Street in San Francisco, California which was exchanged for the minority partner's interest in Santana Row and properties under development in 2001 and 2002, including Pentagon Row in Arlington, Virginia and Santana Row in San Jose, California. Same center rental income, excluding the contribution from property redevelopments and expansions, for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased 5.1% from 2001, reflecting increases due to retenanting, lease rollovers and cost recoveries. Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income includes interest earned on mortgage notes receivable, overnight cash investments, including tax-deferred exchange escrow deposits, as well as a provision for estimated losses related to various unconsolidated restaurant joint ventures at Santana Row. The decrease in interest and other income of $1.4 million, or 21.8% for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, is attributable to a write down associated with the estimated impairment of $1.3 million which represents our best estimate of the diminution of value based upon the current economic climate surrounding these joint ventures. Other Property Income. Other property income includes items, which although recurring, tend to fluctuate more than rental income from period to period, such as utility reimbursements, telephone income, merchant association dues, late fees, lease termination fees and temporary tenant income. The increase in other property income of $1.6 million, or 11.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, is attributable to: . a one-time $800,000 perpetual easement payment from a residential developer that has commenced development on an adjacent site at the Pentagon Row project; . increases of $1.3 million in parking income, utility reimbursements and lease termination fees at Pentagon Row, which began phasing into service in the second quarter of 2001, Santana Row, which - 30 -

began phasing into service in the fourth quarter of 2002 and Friendship Center which was purchased in the third quarter of 2001; partially offset by . lower lease termination fees and parking income from properties owned and operated in both periods. On a same center basis, other property income decreased $500,000 in 2002 as compared to 2001, as explained above. EXPENSES Total expenses increased $36.3 million to $270.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $233.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The primary components of the increase in total expenses are discussed below. Rental Expense. The increase in rental expense of $10.9 million, or 17.3%, for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, is attributable to: . an increase of $9.1 million in non-capitalized operating, leasing and marketing costs associated with our development projects, primarily operating, pre-opening and marketing expenses at our Santana Row project, as well as increased costs reflecting a full year of operating activity at the Pentagon Row project; and . an increase of $1.8 million, or 3.1%, on a same center basis due primarily to increased maintenance, insurance and utility costs, offset by lower bad debt and property management costs. Rental expense as a percentage of rental income and other property income, which we refer to as property income, increased slightly from 21.7% in 2001 to 23.5% in 2002 due primarily to increased marketing and pre-opening expenses at Santana Row. Same center rental expense, excluding the effect of property redevelopments and expansions, as a percentage of property income decreased slightly from 20.0% in 2001 to 19.6% in 2002 and overall for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased 2.2% from 2001. Real Estate Taxes. The increase in real estate taxes of $2.8 million, or 10.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, is attributable to increased taxes on new development projects, recently redeveloped properties and overall increases in tax assessments. On a same center basis, real estate taxes increased 7.0% due primarily to increased taxes on recently redeveloped properties and overall increases in tax assessments at various projects, principally Woodmont East, Fresh Meadows, Garden Market and Mid-Pike. Same center real estate taxes, excluding the effect of property redevelopments and expansions, for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased 6.1% from 2001. Property Operating Income. As a result of the changes and variances explained above, operating property income, total income less rental expenses and real estate taxes, increased $10.1 million, or 4.9%, to $214.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to $204.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Interest Expense. In 2002, we incurred interest expense of $88.6 million, of which $23.5 million was capitalized yielding interest expense of $65.1 million, as compared to interest of $87.1 million in 2001, of which $17.8 million was capitalized yielding interest expense of $69.3 million. The decrease in interest expense of $4.2 million, or 6.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, is attributable to: - 31 -

. a decrease in the weighted-average interest rate on our debt from 7.6% in 2001 to 7.4% in 2002, primarily as a result of decrease in interest rates on our variable rate debt; and . increased capitalized interest at the Santana Row project which was under construction for the majority of 2002 and began to be phased into service beginning with the first tenant opening in June 2002. Administrative Expense. The decrease in administrative expense of $500,000, or 3.4%, for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, is mostly attributable to lower payroll costs in 2002 as a result of our corporate restructuring. As a result, administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased from 4.8% in the year ended December 31, 2001 to 4.3% in the year ended December 31, 2002. Restructuring Charge. On February 28, 2002, we adopted a new business plan which returned our primary focus to our traditional business of acquiring and redeveloping community and neighborhood shopping centers that are anchored by supermarkets, drug stores, or high volume, value oriented retailers that provide consumer necessities. Concurrently with the adoption of the business plan, we adopted a management succession plan and restructured our management team. In connection with this change in business plan, we recorded a charge of $18.2 million. This charge included a reserve for a restructuring charge of $8.5 million made up of $6.9 million of severance and other compensation costs for several of our senior officers related to the management restructuring, as well as the write-off of $1.6 million of our development costs. All charges against the reserve, totaling $8.5 million, were expended during 2002. Please see "New Business Plan, Restructuring Charges and CEO Transition" for additional information. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2002 we recorded a charge of $13.8 million as a result of the accelerated executive transition whereby Donald C. Wood, the Trust's President and Chief Operating Officer, replaced Steven Guttman as Chief Executive Officer of the Trust. The fourth quarter charge, which includes an accrual of $7.9 million at December 31, 2002 for payments and benefits due to Mr. Guttman pursuant to his contractual arrangements with us and for other transition related costs. No cash payments were made against this charge in 2002 and we expect to expend the majority of the accrual in 2003. Depreciation and Amortization Expense. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $5.1 million, or 8.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001 reflects the impact of recent new developments, tenant improvements and property redevelopments which were placed into service throughout 2001 and 2002. OTHER Investors' Share of Operations. Investors' share of operations represents the minority partner's interest in the income of certain properties. The decrease in investors' share of operations of $1.1 million, or 20.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, is attributable to our 2001 purchase of the minority interest in nine street retail buildings in southern California and three street retail buildings in Forest Hills, New York and the operating unit holders share of the decrease in operating income in 2002. Gain on Sale of Real Estate Net of Loss on Abandoned Developments Held for Sale. The approximately $300,000 increase in gain on sale of real estate, net of loss on abandoned developments held for sale for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, is attributable to: - 32 -

. an increase in net gains recognized in 2002 from the sale of six properties for a combined gain of $19.1 million in the second quarter of 2002, as compared to the sale of one shopping center in the second quarter of 2001 for a gain of $7.9 million, the sale of one street retail property in the fourth quarter of 2001 for a gain of $1.8 million and the exchange of a 90% interest in a street retail building for a 10% interest in three street retail buildings with a minority partner which resulted in an accounting loss of $500,000 in the fourth quarter of 2001; primarily offset by . the impairment loss of $9.7 million on the abandonment of developments held for sale as described under "New Business Plan, Restructuring Charges and CEO Transition." Income from Operations of Discontinued Assets. Beginning in 2002, SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," requires that gains and losses from dispositions of properties and all operating earnings from these properties be reported as income from operations of discontinued assets. This also requires that all past earnings applicable to a property disposed of subsequent to January 1, 2002 be reported as income from operations of discontinued assets. As a result, previously reported income will be updated each time a property is sold. This requirement is for presentation only and has no impact on net income. As described above, in 2002, we sold six properties for a combined gain of $19.1 million. The earnings generated from these properties have been reported as income from operations of discontinued assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144. Income from operations of discontinued assets for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $1.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively with the decrease being primarily due to the fact that these properties were owned for less than a full year in 2002. Comparison of 2001 to 2000 REVENUE Total revenues increased $20.9 million, or 7.6%, to $295.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to $274.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The primary components of the increase in total revenues are discussed below. Rental Income. The increase in rental income of $18.9 million, or 7.4%, for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2000, is attributable to: . an increase of $2.9 million in rental income attributable to the properties acquired subsequent to January 1, 2000 and properties under development in 2000 and 2001 which began phasing into service during 2001, specifically Pentagon Row and Woodmont East. These increases were offset by properties sold in 2001 and 2000; and . an increase of $16.0 million, or 6.4%, on a same center basis due primarily to the increased rental rates at redeveloped and retenanted centers, as well as increased rental rates associated with lease rollovers and higher cost recoveries. Same center basis for the year ended December 31, 2001 excludes the six properties sold in 2002 because they have been reclassified to Income from Operations of Discontinued Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, the Williamsburg Shopping Center in Williamsburg, Virginia and Peninsula Shopping Center in Palos Verdes, California which were sold on April 27, 2001 and June 30, 2000, respectively, as well as, properties acquired and properties under development in 2000 and 2001, including Friendship Center in Washington, D.C., Woodmont East in Bethesda, Maryland, Pentagon Row in Arlington, Virginia, 214 Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica, California and Town & Country Shopping Center in San Jose, California, which was demolished to make way for the Santana Row development. - 33 -

Interest and Other Income. The decrease in interest and other income of $900,000, or 12.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2000, is attributable to a decrease in interest earned on mortgage notes receivable which reflects the $11.8 million decrease in mortgage notes receivable from December 31, 2000 to December 31, 2001. Other Property Income. The increase in other property income of $2.9 million, or 26.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2000, is attributable to: . an approximate $1.2 million increase in lease termination fees; and . increased parking income and utility reimbursements. On a same center basis, other property income during the year ended December 31, 2001 increased 18.7% from the year ended December 31, 2000. EXPENSES Total expenses increased $19.7 million, or 9.2%, to $233.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to $214.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The primary components of the decrease in total expenses are discussed below. Rental Expense. The increase in rental expense of $7.1 million, or 12.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2000, is attributable to: . an increase of $5.7 million in operating, leasing and marketing costs associated with our development projects, primarily leasing and marketing expenses at our Santana Row project, as well as increased costs reflecting the increased operating activity at the Pentagon Row and Woodmont East projects; and . an increase of $2.3 million, or 4.3%, on a same center basis due primarily to general cost increases along with increased property management costs in 2001; partially offset by . a decrease of $900,000 in operating costs related to properties acquired and sold during the two periods. Rental expense as a percentage of rental income and other property income, which we refer to as property income, increased slightly from 20.9% in 2000 to 21.7% in 2001 due primarily to the increased leasing and marketing expenses at Santana Row. Real Estate Taxes. The increase in real estate taxes of $2.1 million, or 8.2%, for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2000, is attributable primarily to increased tax assessments on recently redeveloped properties partially offset by taxes on properties sold in 2001 and 2000. On a same center basis, real estate taxes increased 9.4%, reflecting the increases on redeveloped properties. Property Operating Income. As a result of the changes and variances explained above, property operating income, total income less rental expenses and real estate taxes, increased $11.7 million, or 6.1%, to $204.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to $192.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. - 34 -

Interest Expense. In 2001, we incurred interest expense of $87.1 million, of which $17.8 million was capitalized, as compared to 2000's $79.7 million, of which $13.3 million was capitalized. The increase in interest expense of $2.9 million, or 4.4%, for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2000, is attributable to: . increased mortgage interest, primarily due to the $152 million of mortgages placed on five properties in the fourth quarter of 2000; partially offset by . a decrease in the weighted-average interest rate on our debt from 7.9% in 2000 to 7.6% in 2001, primarily as a result of the decrease in interest rates on our variable rate debt; and . increased capitalized interest at the Santana Row project which was under construction during 2001. Administrative Expense. The increase in administrative expense of $1.0 million, or 7.2%, for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2000, is attributable to increased personnel costs, legal and accounting fees. However, administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly in 2001 to 4.8% from 4.9% in 2000. Depreciation and Amortization Expense. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $6.6 million, or 12.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2000, reflects the impact of recent new development, tenant improvements and property redevelopments which were placed in service during the year, specifically the Pentagon Row and Woodmont East developments. OTHER Investors' Share of Operations. The decrease in investors' share of operations of $1.3 million, or 21.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2000, is attributable to our buy-out of the minority partners' in nine street retail buildings in southern California, thereby increasing our ownership in these buildings to 100%. Gain on Sale of Real Estate Net of Loss on Abandoned Developments Held for Sale. The increase in gain on sale of real estate, net of loss on abandoned developments held for sale, of $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2000, is attributable to an increase in net gains recognized in 2001 from: . the sale of one shopping center in the second quarter of 2001 for a gain of $7.9 million; and . the sale of one street retail property in the fourth quarter of 2001 for a gain of $1.8 million; partially offset by . the exchange of our 90% interest in a street retail building to the minority partner in exchange for the minority partner's 10% interest in three other street retail buildings in the fourth quarter of 2001 resulting in a loss of approximately $500,000; as compared to . the sale of one shopping center in the second quarter of 2000 for a gain of $3.7 million Income from Operations of Discontinued Assets. Beginning in 2002, SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," requires that gains and losses from dispositions of properties and all operating earnings from these properties be reported as income from operations of discontinued assets. This also requires that all past earnings applicable to a property disposed of subsequent to January 1, 2002 be reported as income from operations of discontinued assets. As a result, previously reported income will be updated each time a property is sold. This requirement is for presentation only and has no impact on net income. As described above, in 2002, we sold six properties for a - 35 -

combined gain of $19.1 million. The earnings generated from these properties have been reported as income from operations of discontinued assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144. Income from operations of discontinued assets for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $3.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively. SEGMENT RESULTS We operate our business on an asset management model, where small focused teams are responsible for a portfolio of assets. We have divided our portfolio of properties into three operating regions: the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and West. Each region is operated under the direction of an asset manager, 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): FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, ---------------------------------------- 2002 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- ---------- Rental Income Northeast ............................. $ 123,093 $ 117,353 $ 110,256 Mid-Atlantic .......................... 139,596 124,765 114,371 West .................................. 35,396 32,449 31,007 ---------- ---------- ---------- Total ............................ $ 298,085 $ 274,567 $ 255,634 ========== ========== ========== Property Operating Income (1) Northeast ............................. $ 92,399 $ 87,831 $ 81,633 Mid-Atlantic .......................... 103,429 92,086 84,346 West .................................. 18,269 21,982 24,212 ---------- ---------- ---------- Total ............................ $ 214,097 $ 201,899 $ 190,191 ========== ========== ========== (1) Property operating income consists of rental income, other property income and interest income on mortgage notes receivable, less rental expense and real estate taxes. NORTHEAST As of December 31, 2002, 48 of our properties were located in the Northeast region. The Northeast region extends from suburban Philadelphia north through New York and its suburbs into New England and west to Illinois and Michigan. Rental Income. The increase in rental income of $5.7 million, or 4.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, is attributable to: . an increase of $6.8 million, or 5.9%, on a same center basis due primarily to the increased rental rates at redeveloped, expanded and retenanted centers, such as Bala Cynwyd, Brunswick, Dedham, Fresh Meadows, Rutgers and Wynnewood, as well as increased rental rates associated with lease rollovers; partially offset by . a decrease of $1.1 million due to the disposition of 101 E. Oak Street and 70/10 Austin Street in 2001. - 36 -

Same center basis for the year ended December 31, 2002 excludes 101 E. Oak Street and 70/10 Austin Street which were sold in 2001. Same center rental income, excluding the contribution from property redevelopments and expansions, for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased 5.7% from 2001. When comparing 2001 with 2000, rental income, on an overall and same center basis, increased $7.1 million, or 6.4%, primarily due to increases at recently redeveloped and retenanted shopping center and street retail properties such as Greenlawn, Blue Star, Brunswick, Ellisburg, Fresh Meadows and Austin Street. Property Operating Income. Property operating income consists of rental income, other property income and interest income on mortgage notes receivable, less rental expense and real estate taxes. The increase in property operating income of $4.6 million, or 5.2%, for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, is attributable to: . an increase of $5.7 million in rental revenue as described above; offset by . a decrease of $600,000 in interest income on mortgage notes receivable as a result of a payoff of a $10 million mortgage note in July 2002; and . an increase of $500,000 in real estate taxes primarily as a result of increased taxes on recently redeveloped and retenanted properties. Same center property operating income in the year ended December 31, 2002 increased 7.2% from 2001. Same center property operating income, excluding the contribution from property redevelopments and expansions, for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased 7.1% from 2001. Property operating income increased $6.2 million, or 7.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to December 31, 2000. This increase is attributable to: . an increase of $7.1 million in rental revenue as described above; . an increase in other property income of $1.4 million due primarily to increased lease termination fees of $1.0 million; partially offset by . an increase of $1.5 million in real estate taxes primarily as a result of increased taxes on redeveloped and retenanted properties; . an increase in rental expenses of $300,000; and . decreased interest income on mortgage notes receivable of $500,000 as a result of mortgage notes of approximately $10 million being paid off in late 2000 and early 2001. MID-ATLANTIC As of December 31, 2002, 32 of our properties, including Pentagon Row, were located in the Mid-Atlantic region. The Mid-Atlantic region extends from Baltimore south to metropolitan Washington, D.C. and further south through Virginia and North Carolina into Florida. Rental Income. The increase in rental income of $14.8 million, or 11.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, is attributable to: . an increase of $9.4 million from Friendship Center which was purchased in 2001 and from Pentagon Row which was phased into service throughout 2001 and 2002; - 37 -

. a net increase of $6.1 million, or 5.0%, on a same center basis due primarily to the increased rental rates attributable to retenanting at several shopping centers and street retail properties, as well as the increased rental income from the Trust's Woodmont East project in Bethesda, Maryland which was open and occupied for a full year in 2002. These increases were partially offset by higher vacancy levels at three of the region's shopping centers; offset by . a decrease of $700,000 from the Williamsburg Shopping Center which was sold in 2001. Same center basis for the year ended December 31, 2002 excludes Williamsburg Shopping Center which was sold in 2001, Friendship Center which was purchased in 2001 and Pentagon Row which was being phased into service throughout 2001 and 2002. There were no significant contributions from redevelopments or expansions in this region during 2001 and 2002. When comparing 2001 with 2000, rental income increased $10.4 million, or 9.1%, reflecting the contribution from the recently completed Woodmont East project, the rental income generated from the first three buildings at the Pentagon Row project, as well as Friendship Center which was acquired on September 21, 2001. On a same center basis, which excludes Woodmont East, Pentagon Row, Friendship Center and Williamsburg shopping center which was sold on April 27, 2001, rental income increased $4.8 million, or 4.3%, due to successful retenanting at several of the regions properties. Property Operating Income. The increase in property operating income of $11.3 million, or 12.3%, for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, is attributable to: . an increase of $14.8 million in rental revenue as described above; and . an increase of $1.8 million in other income primarily from Pentagon Row and Friendship Center, as both of these properties were owned and operated for a full year in 2002; partially offset by . an increase of $3.5 million in rental expense, primarily due to the Pentagon Row and Friendship Center properties as well as increased insurance costs; and . an increase of $1.8 million in real estate taxes, of which approximately $800,000 was attributable to Pentagon Row and Friendship Center with the remaining increase primarily as a result of increased taxes on recently redeveloped properties and overall increases in tax assessments. Same center property operating income in the year ended December 31, 2002 increased 4.8% from 2001. Property operating income increased $7.7 million, or 9.2%, for the year ended December 31, 2001 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2000. This increase is attributable to: . an increase of $10.4 million in rental revenue as described above; . an increase in other property income of $1.8 million due primarily to increased lease termination fees and other miscellaneous income; partially offset by . an increase of $3.7 million in rental expenses primarily at Pentagon Row and Woodmont East; and . an increase in real estate taxes of $800,000, approximately $400,000 of which was related to Pentagon Row, Woodmont East and Friendship Center with the remainder attributable to increases in tax assessments throughout the portfolio. - 38 -

WEST As of December 31, 2002, 34 of our properties, including Santana Row, were located in the West region. The West region extends from Texas to the West Coast. Rental. The increase in rental income of $2.9 million, or 9.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, is attributable to: . an increase of $2.5 million, or 7.9%, on a same center basis due primarily to the increased rental rates at redeveloped and retenanted properties in the Los Angeles area, San Francisco and Los Gatos, California, as well as the increased rental income associated with lease rollovers; . an increase of approximately $800,000 of rental income generated at Santana Row; offset by . a decrease of approximately $400,000 due to the exchange of 580 Market Street in 2002. Same center basis for the year ended December 31, 2002 excludes 580 Market Street which was exchanged for the minority partner's interest in Santana Row and Santana Row, which was under development in 2001 and 2002. Same center rental income, excluding the contribution from property redevelopments and expansions, for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased 5.1% from 2001. When comparing 2001 with 2000, rental income increased $1.4 million, or 4.7%, reflecting the recently redeveloped and retenanted properties in Los Angeles and San Francisco, California, offset by the impact of the sale of Peninsula Shopping Center on June 30, 2000. On a same center basis, which excludes properties acquired and sold in 2001 and 2000 and Santana Row, which is under development, rental income increased $4.1 million, or 15.4%, due to the successful redevelopment and retenanting mentioned above. Property Operating Income. The decrease in property operating income of $3.7 million, or 16.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, is attributable to: . an increase of $7.4 million in rental expense primarily as a result of leasing, marketing and other start-up costs associated with our Santana Row project; . an increase of $500,000 in real estate taxes primarily as a result of increased taxes on recently redeveloped properties and real estate tax expense on Santana Row reflecting the period the project was operating in 2002; and . a decrease of $100,000 in other property income primarily as a result of lower parking income which offset the increase associated with Santana Row; partially offset by . an increase of $2.9 million in rental income as described above; and . an increase of $1.4 million in interest income on mortgage notes receivable primarily as a result of additional loans funded during 2002 and higher participating interest on loans outstanding. Same center property operating income in the year ended December 31, 2002 increased 5.4% from 2001. Same center property operating income, excluding the contribution from property redevelopments and expansions, for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased 4.0% from 2001. Property operating income decreased $2.2 million, or 9.2%, for the year ended December 31, 2001 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2000. This decrease is attributable to: - 39 -

. an increase of $3.1 million in rental expenses, consisting primarily of the marketing and leasing costs associated with the Santana Row development; . a decrease in interest and other income of $400,000 reflecting the payoff of a note in 2001 and higher participation interest in 2000; . a decrease in other property income of $300,000 due primarily to the reduction in earnings when the old Town & Country Shopping Center was demolished to make way for the new Santana Row project; offset by . an increase of $1.4 million in rental income as described above; and . a net decrease in real estate taxes of $200,000 attributable to the June 30, 2000 sale of Peninsula Shopping Center, which offsets increased assessments on redeveloped properties and overall increases in tax assessments. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash and cash equivalents were $23.1 million and $17.5 million at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.

This loan bears interest at a variable rate determined weekly to be the interest rate which would enable the bonds to be remarketed at 100% of their principal amount. The weighted average interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2002 was 3.14%. The property is not encumbered by a lien. (14) The loan requires monthly interest only payments through maturity. This loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 95 basis points. We purchased interest rate swaps or hedges on this note, thereby locking in the LIBOR rate at 5.27%. As a result, the interest rate on this loan is currently fixed at 6.22%. (15) The loan requires monthly payments of principal and interest. (16) The loan was repaid on June 18, 2002. (17) Amounts borrowed under the facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 80 basis points. The maximum amount drawn under the facility during 2002 was $100 million.

(19) The debentures were paid off on April 29, 2002. (20) The debentures require semi-annual interest payments with principal due at maturity. The debentures are convertible into our common shares at $36 per share. The debentures are redeemable by us, in whole, at any time, at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. (21) The notes require semi-annual payments of interest only during their terms. (22) We purchased interest rate swaps at issuance, thereby reducing the effective interest rate from 6.74% to 6.37%. (23) We purchased interest rate swaps at issuance, thereby reducing the effective interest rate from 6.99% to 6.894%. (24) The Trust purchased an interest rate lock to hedge the planned note offering. A hedge loss of $1.5 million associated with this hedge is being amortized into the November 2002 note offering thereby increasing the effective interest rate on these notes to 6.325%. (25) Beginning on August 15, 2008, the debentures are redeemable by the holders thereof at the original purchase price. (26) Beginning on August 1, 2007, the notes are redeemable by the holders thereof at the original purchase price. Our credit facility and other debt agreements include financial covenants that may limit our operating activities in the future. These covenants require us to: . limit the amount of debt as a percentage of gross asset value to less than .6 to 1 (we maintained a ratio of .41 to 1 as of December 31, 2002); . limit the amount of secured debt as a percentage of gross asset value to less than .35 to 1 (we maintained a ratio of .13 to 1 as of December 31, 2002); . limit the amount of debt so that our interest coverage will exceed 1.75 to 1 on a rolling four quarter basis (we maintained a ratio of 2.45 to 1 as of December 31, 2002); . limit the amount of secured debt so that unencumbered asset value to unsecured debt will equal or exceed 1.67 to 1 (we maintained a ratio of 1.81 to 1 as of December 31, 2002); and . limit the total cost of development projects under construction to 30% or less of gross asset value (the budgeted total cost of our projects under construction represented 15.4% of gross asset value as of December 31, 2002). We are also obligated to comply with other covenants, including, among others, provisions: . relating to the maintenance of property securing a mortgage; . restricting our ability to pledge assets or create liens; . restricting our ability to incur additional debt; . restricting our ability to amend or modify existing leases; . restricting our ability to enter into transactions with affiliates; and . restricting our ability to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. - 44 -

As of December 31, 2002, we were in compliance with all of the listed financial covenants. If we were to breach any of our debt covenants, including the listed covenants, and did not cure the breach within any applicable cure period, our lenders could require us to repay the debt immediately, and, if the debt is secured, could immediately begin proceedings to take possession of the property securing the loan. Many of our debt arrangements, including our public notes and our credit facility are cross-defaulted which means that the lenders under those debt arrangements can put us in default and require immediate repayment of their debt if we breach and fail to cure a covenant under certain of our other debt obligations. As a result, any default under our debt covenants could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, our results of operations, our ability to meet our obligations and the market value of our shares. Below are the aggregate principal payments required as of December 31, 2002 under our debt financing arrangements by year. Scheduled principal installments and amounts due at maturity are included.

Also see "Liquidity Requirements" in this section regarding management's plans with respect to debt maturing in 2003. Interest Rate Hedging We enter into derivative contracts, which qualify as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", in order to manage interest rate risk. Derivatives are not purchased for speculation. During 2001, to hedge our exposure to interest rates on our $125 million term loan, we entered into interest rate swaps, which fixed the LIBOR interest rate on the term loan at 5.27%. The current interest rate on the term loan is LIBOR plus 95 basis points, thus fixing the interest rate at 6.22% on notional amounts totaling $125 million. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the interest rate protection agreement should interest rates exceed the cap. However, management does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties. The counterparties have long-term debt ratings of A- or above by Standard and Poor's Ratings Service ("S&P") and Aa2 or above by Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's"). Although our cap is not exchange traded, there are a number of financial institutions which enter into these types of transactions as part of their day-to-day activities. The interest rate swaps mature concurrently with the $125 million term loan on December 19, 2003. The swaps were documented as cash flow hedges and designated as effective at inception of the swap contract. Consequently, the unrealized gain or loss upon measuring the swaps at their fair value is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income within shareholders' equity and either a derivative instrument asset or liability is recorded on the balance sheet. At December 31, 2002, a - 45 -

cumulative unrealized loss of $4.6 million, representing the difference between the current market value and the 6.22% fixed interest rate on the swap, was recorded in other comprehensive income with a corresponding derivative liability on the balance sheet. Interest expense of approximately $4.6 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive income into current earnings during 2003 to bring the effective interest rate up to 6.22%. In anticipation of a $150 million Senior Unsecured Note offering, on August 1, 2002, we entered into a treasury rate lock that fixed the benchmark five year treasury rate at 3.472% through August 19, 2002. The rate lock was documented as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction and designated as effective at the inception of the contract. On August 16, 2002, we priced the Senior Unsecured Notes with a scheduled closing date of August 21, 2002 and closed out the associated rate lock. Five year treasury rates declined between the pricing period and the settlement of the hedge purchase; therefore, to settle the rate lock, we paid $1.5 million. As a result of the August 19, 2002 fire at Santana Row, we elected not to proceed with the note offering at that time. However, we consummated a $150 Senior Unsecured Note offering on November 15, 2002, and thus, the hedge loss will be amortized into interest expense over the life of these Notes. Liquidity Requirements As of December 31, 2002, we had unfunded contractual payment obligations of approximately $403 million due within the next twelve months. The table below specifies our total contractual payment obligations as of December 31, 2002.

Based on management's current estimate of fair market value, our estimated liability upon exercise of the put option is approximately $27.5 million. Since the timing of this transaction is unknown, the put option is excluded from our capital requirements. - 46 -

In conjunction with a redevelopment currently taking place at the property, we have agreed to acquire an additional 7.5% interest in Congressional Plaza from RPC, thereby lowering their ownership percentage to 30%, in exchange for funding approximately $7 million of RPC's share of the redevelopment cost. The funding will take place through the first quarter of 2003 and the transaction will be completed in 2003. After the completion of this transaction, our estimated liability upon the exercise of the put option will be approximately $22 million. (2) Under the terms of four partnerships which own street retail properties in southern California with a cost of approximately $61 million, if certain leasing and revenue levels are obtained for the properties owned by the partnerships, the other partners may require us to purchase their partnership interests at a formula price based upon net operating income. The purchase price may be paid in cash or, for two of the partnerships, a limited number of our common shares at the election of the other partners. Because we may elect to issue common shares in settlement of part of our obligations, we have excluded these amounts from our capital requirements. In certain of these partnerships, if the other partners do not redeem their interest, we may choose to purchase the limited partnership interests upon the same terms. (3) Under the terms of various other partnerships which own shopping center properties with a cost of approximately $71 million, the partners may exchange their 796,773 operating units for cash or the same number of our common shares, at our option. Because we may elect to issue common shares in settlement of our obligation we have excluded these amounts from our capital requirements. During the second quarter of 2002 we issued 100,000 of our common shares valued at $2.8 million in exchange for 100,000 operating units and cash of $205,000 in exchange for an additional 7,816 operating units. On February 14, 2003 we paid $333,000 to redeem an additional 12,000 operating units. (4) Street Retail San Antonio LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trust, entered into a Development Agreement (the "Agreement") on March 13, 2000 with the City of San Antonio, Texas (the "City") related to the redevelopment of land and buildings that we own along Houston Street in the City. Houston Street and the surrounding area have been designated by the City as a Reinvestment Zone (the "Zone"). The City has agreed to facilitate redevelopment of the Zone by undertaking and financing certain public improvements based on our agreement to redevelop our properties in the Zone. Under the terms of the Agreement, the City issued debt to fund specific public improvements within the Zone. The initial and primary source of funding to the City for repayment of the debt and debt service is the incremental tax revenue that accretes to the City as the taxable value of the redeveloped properties within the Zone increase. We are required to issue an annual letter of credit, commencing on October 1, 2002 through September 30, 2014, that covers our designated portion of the debt service should the incremental tax revenue generated not cover the debt service. We posted a letter of credit with the City on September 25, 2002 for $795,000. Our obligation under this agreement cannot be determined at this time because it is dependent on the annual assessed value of the properties in the Zone and the related tax revenue generated. We were not required to provide any funding in 2002 or for the semi-annual payment due March 15, 2003. Based on the current assessed value of the properties in the Zone, we expect to provide some funding under the Agreement prior to its expiration on September 30, 2014, but anticipate that our obligation will not exceed $600,000 in any year and will be between $2 million - 47 -

and $3 million in total. If the Zone creates sufficient tax increment funding to repay the City's debt prior to the expiration of the Agreement, we will be eligible to receive reimbursement of amounts paid for debt service shortfalls together with interest thereon. As of December 31, 2002, our current contractual payment obligations due within one year total approximately $403 million. Included in this amount is $196 million that represents our revolving credit facility and term loan which mature on December 19, 2003, which we plan to renew. In addition to our contractual obligations we have other short-term liquidity requirements consisting primarily of normal recurring operating expenses, regular debt service requirements (including debt service relating to additional and replacement debt), recurring corporate expenditures, non-recurring corporate expenditures (such as tenant improvements and redevelopments) and dividends to common and preferred shareholders. Overall capital requirements in 2003 will depend upon acquisition opportunities, the level of improvements and redevelopments on existing properties and the timing and cost of future phases of Santana Row. We expect to fund the remaining capital requirements of $207 million, as well as our development and redevelopment costs, acquisitions and normal recurring operating costs through a combination of cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under our credit facility and other funding sources which may consist of additional debt, both secured and unsecured, additional equity, joint venture relationships and property dispositions. We expect to fund our long-term capital requirements, which consist primarily of maturities under our long-term debt, development and redevelopment costs and potential acquisition opportunities through a combination of funding sources which we believe will be available to us including debt, both secured and unsecured, additional equity, joint venture relationships and property dispositions. The following factors could affect our ability to meet our liquidity requirements: . we may be unable to obtain debt or equity financing on favorable terms, or at all, as a result of our financial condition or market conditions at the time we seek additional financing; . restrictions on our debt instruments or outstanding equity may prohibit us from incurring debt or issuing equity at all, or on terms available under then-prevailing market conditions; and . we may be unable to service additional or replacement debt due to increases in interest rates or a decline in our operating performance. Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan We have implemented a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan, which was subsequently amended in March 2002 (the "DRIP"). Under the DRIP, current shareholders are permitted to elect to reinvest all, a portion or none of their cash dividends to purchase common shares. The DRIP also allows both new investors and existing shareholders to make optional cash payments to purchase common shares. The DRIP permits current shareholders and new investors to invest a minimum of $25 up to a maximum of $10,000 in common shares per month. Shares purchased under the DRIP through reinvestment of dividends and optional cash payments are purchased at market price. - 48 -

Common shares may be purchased directly from the Company or in open market purchases, as we determine from time to time, to fulfill the requirements for the DRIP. We issued 134,247 and 159,234 common shares under the DRIP and received approximately $3.5 million and $3.3 million in proceeds for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Stock Purchase Plan In 1991, the Board of Trustees of the Company approved a Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") under Section 423 of the Code. The ESPP is regarded as a noncompensatory plan under APB No. 25, because it meets the qualifications under IRC 423. Under the terms of the ESPP, eligible employees may purchase common shares of the Company at a price that is equal to 90% of the lower of the common shares' fair market value at the beginning or the end of a quarterly period. The fair market value of a common share is equal to the last sale price of the common shares on the New York Stock Exchange. Eligible employees may purchase the common shares through payroll deductions of up to 10% of eligible compensation. The ESPP is not subject to the provisions of ERISA. The ESPP terminated on January 31, 2001. Under the terms of the ESPP, eligible employees had purchased 446,000 common shares at $15.125 per share with the assistance of loans of $6.7 million from us. Originally, ESPP called for one sixteenth of the loan to be forgiven each year for eight years, as long as the participant was still employed by us. 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 criteria related to our performance. One sixteenth of the loan has been forgiven during each year of the plan. At December 31, 2002, we had outstanding purchase loans to participants of approximately $830,000. 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. On January 24, 2003, a $750,000 loan was repaid. REIT Qualification We intend to maintain our qualification as a REIT under Section 856(c) of the Code. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate federal income taxes as long as we satisfy certain technical requirements of the Code, including the requirement to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income to our shareholders. FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS We have historically reported our FFO in addition to our net income and net cash provided by operating activities. FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies' operating performance. NAREIT defines FFO 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. NAREIT developed FFO as a relative measure of performance and liquidity of an equity REIT in order to recognize that the value of income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. However, FFO: - 49 -

. does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP (which, unlike FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events in the determination of net income); . should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance; and . is not necessarily indicative of cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to pay dividends. We consider FFO a meaningful, additional measure of operating performance because it primarily excludes the assumption that the value of the real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, and because industry analysts have accepted it as a performance measure. Comparison of our presentation of FFO to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs. An increase or decrease in FFO does not necessarily result in an increase or decrease in aggregate distributions because our Board of Trustees is not required to increase distributions on a quarterly basis unless necessary for us to maintain REIT status. However, we must distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (as defined in the Code). Therefore, a significant increase in FFO will generally require an increase in distributions to shareholders although not necessarily on a proportionate basis. The reconciliation of net income available for common shareholders to funds from operations for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 is as follows: (in thousands) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, --------------------------------- 2002 2001 --------------- --------------- Net income available for common shareholders - basic ................................ $ 35,862 $ 59,722 (Gain) on sale of real estate net of loss on abandoned developments held for sale ...............................................................................

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Our use of financial instruments, such as debt instruments, subject us to market risk which may affect our future earnings and cash flows as well as the fair value of our assets. Market risk generally refers to the risk of loss from changes in interest rates and market prices. We manage our market risk by attempting to match anticipated inflow of cash from our operating, investing and financing activities with anticipated outflow of cash to fund debt payments, dividends to common and preferred shareholders, investments, capital expenditures and other cash requirements. We also enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument or to effectively lock the interest rate on a portion of our variable rate debt. The following discussion of market risk is based solely on hypothetical changes in interest rates related to our variable rate debt. This discussion does not purport to take into account all of the factors that may affect the financial instruments discussed in this section. INTEREST RATE RISK Our interest rate risk is most sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt. At December 31, 2002, we had $121.8 million of variable rate debt. Based upon this balance of variable operating debt, if interest rates increased 1%, our earnings and cash flows would decrease by approximately $1.2 million. If interest rates decreased 1%, our earnings and cash flows would increase by approximately $1.2 million. We believe that the change in the fair value of our financial instruments resulting from a foreseeable fluctuation in interest rates would be immaterial to our total assets and total liabilities. INTEREST RATE HEDGING We use derivative financial instruments to convert a portion of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt and to manage our fixed to variable rate debt ratio. A description of these derivative financial instruments is contained in "Item 7.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED ACCOUNTANTS Trustees and Shareholders of Federal Realty Investment Trust: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Federal Realty Investment Trust (a Maryland real estate investment trust) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and the related consolidated statements of operations, common shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements of Federal Realty Investment Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and for the two years then ended were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in their report dated February 12, 2002. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the 2002 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Federal Realty Investment Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have also audited Schedules III and IV for the year ended December 31, 2002. In our opinion, these schedules present fairly, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, in all material respects, the information therein. As discussed above, the consolidated financial statements of Federal Realty Investment Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and for the two years then ended were audited by other auditors, who have ceased operations. As described in Note 1, these financial statements have been restated. We audited the adjustments described in Note 1 that were applied to restate the 2000 and 2001 financial statements. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. However, we were not engaged to audit, review or apply any procedures to the 2000 and 2001 financial statements of the Company other than with respect to such adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2000 and 2001 financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP Washington, D.C.

Federal Realty Investment Trust NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Federal Realty Investment Trust (the "Trust") is a full-service equity real estate investment trust specializing in the ownership, management, development and redevelopment of high quality community and neighborhood shopping centers and main street mixed-use properties located in densely developed urban and suburban areas in strategic metropolitan markets across the United States. We operate in a manner intended to enable us to qualify as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes. A trust which distributes at least 90% 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, Federal income taxes have been and are generally expected to be immaterial. We are obligated for state taxes, generally consisting of franchise or gross receipts taxes in certain states. Such state taxes have not been material. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Trust, its wholly owned corporate subsidiaries, several corporations where we have a majority ownership, and numerous partnerships, all of which we control. The equity interests of other investors are reflected as investors' interest in consolidated assets. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. We account for our interest in joint ventures which we do not control or manage using the equity method of accounting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which we refer to as GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that in certain circumstances affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses. These estimates are prepared using management's best judgment, after considering past and current events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable. 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' thresholds 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. We make estimates of the collectibility of our accounts receivable related to base rents, including straight line rentals, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income. In some cases the ultimate collectibility of these claims extends beyond one year. 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 50 years on apartment buildings and improvements, and from three to 50 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 or their estimated useful life, respectively. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate", sales are recognized at closing only when sufficient down payments have been obtained, possession and other attributes of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and we have no significant continuing involvement. 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 - F7 -

are charged to operations if the assets are replaced and the asset and the corresponding accumulated depreciation are retired. We evaluate the carrying value of our long-lived assets in accordance with 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 estimated fair market value. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (effective for us on January 1, 2002). SFAS No. 144 requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly-acquired, and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include components of an entity comprising operations and cash flows that can be distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes from the rest of the entity. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," which addresses accounting and processing for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. SFAS No. 146 requires the recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when the liability is incurred verses the date the Company commits to an exit plan. In addition, SFAS No. 146 states that the liability should be initially measured at fair value. The requirements of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. This pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. When applicable as lessee, we classify our 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 or lease, whichever is shorter. Unamortized leasing costs are charged to operations if the applicable tenant vacates before the expiration of their lease. Interest costs on developments and major redevelopments are capitalized as part of the development and redevelopment until it is placed in service. Capitalization of interest commences when development activities and expenditures begin and end upon completion, i.e. when the asset is ready for its intended use. Generally rental property is considered substantially complete and ready for its intended use upon completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year from the completion of major construction activity. 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. - F8 -

Cash and Cash Equivalents. We define 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. We enter into derivative contracts, which qualify as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", in order to manage interest rate risk. Derivatives are not purchased for speculation. During 2001, to hedge our exposure to interest rates on our $125 million term loan, we entered into interest rate swaps, which fixed the LIBOR interest rate on the term loan at 5.27%. The current interest rate on the term loan is LIBOR plus 95 basis points, thus fixing the interest rate at 6.22% on notional amounts totaling $125 million. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the interest rate protection agreement should interest rates exceed the cap. However, management does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties. The counterparties have long-term debt ratings of A- or above by Standard & Poor's Ratings Service ("S&P") and Aa2 or above by Moody's Investor Service ("Moody's"). Although our cap is not exchange-traded, there are a number of financial institutions which enter into these types of transactions as part of their day-to-day activities. The interest rate swaps mature concurrently with the $125 million term loan on December 19, 2003. The swaps were documented as cash flow hedges and designated as effective at inception of the swap contract. Consequently, the unrealized gain or loss upon measuring the swaps at their fair market value is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income within shareholders' equity and either a derivative instrument asset or liability is recorded on the balance sheet. At December 31, 2002, a cumulative unrealized loss of $4.6 million, representing the difference between the current market value and the 6.22% fixed interest rate on the swap, was recorded in other comprehensive income with a corresponding derivative liability on the balance sheet. Interest expense of approximately $4.6 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive income into current earnings during 2003 to bring the effective interest rate up to 6.22%. There were no open derivative contracts at December 31, 1999. In anticipation of a $150 million Senior Unsecured Note offering, on August 1, 2002, we entered into a treasury rate lock that fixed the benchmark five year treasury rate at 3.472% through August 19, 2002. The rate lock was documented as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction and designated as effective at the inception of the contract. On August 16, 2002, we priced the Senior Unsecured Notes with a scheduled closing date of August 21, 2002 and closed out the associated rate lock. Five year treasury rates declined between the pricing period and the settlement of the hedge purchase; therefore, to settle the rate lock, we paid $1.5 million. As a result of the August 19, 2002 fire at Santana Row, we elected not to proceed with the note offering at that time. However, we consummated a $150 Senior Unsecured Note offering on November 15, 2002, and thus, the hedge loss will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the Notes. Acquisition, Development and Construction Loan Arrangements. We have made certain mortgage loans that, because of their nature, qualify as loan receivables. At the time the loans were made we 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 - F9 -

Practitioners issued by the AICPA in February 1986 entitled "ADC Arrangements" ("the Third Notice"), we evaluate 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 our balance sheet classification of these investments and the recognition of interest income derived therefrom. Generally, we receive additional interest on these loans, however we never receive 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 our loan (or a combination thereof) the loans qualify for loan accounting. The amounts under ADC arrangements at December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $35.6 million and interest income recognized thereon was $4.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Comprehensive Income. Our interest rate swaps were documented as cash flow hedges and designated as effective at inception of the swap contract, therefore, the unrealized gain or loss upon measuring the swaps at their fair market value is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income within shareholders' equity. In accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", investments purchased in connection with our nonqualified deferred compensation plan are classified as available for sale securities and reported at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses on these investments purchased to match our obligation to the participants is also recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2002 these investments consisted of mutual funds and are stated at market value. Earnings Per Share. We calculate 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 our earnings. The following table sets forth the reconciliation between basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except per share data): 2002 2001 2000 -------- -------- -------- Numerator Net income available for common shareholders - basic.................. $ 35,862 $ 59,722 $ 52,573 Income attributable to operating partnership units.................... 740 1,384 1,311 -------- -------- -------- Net income available for common shareholders - diluted................ $ 36,602 $ 61,106 $ 53,884 ======== ======== ======== Denominator Denominator for basic EPS- weighted average shares.................... 41,624 39,164 38,796 Effect of dilutive securities, stock options and awards............... 417 197 155 Operating partnership units........................................... 841 905 959 -------- -------- -------- Weighted average shares - diluted..................................... 42,882 40,266 39,910 ======== ======== ======== Earnings per common share - basic..................................... $ .86 $ 1.52 $ 1.36 ======== ======== ======== Earnings per common share - diluted $ .85 $ 1.52 $ 1.35 ======== ======== ======== - F10 -

Stock-Based Compensation. In December 2002 the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure" an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure provisions to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity's accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based compensation. Stock options are accounted for using the intrinsic method in accordance with APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, as interpreted, whereby if options are priced at fair market value or above at the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. The pro forma information is as follows (in thousands except for earnings per share): 2002 2001 2000 -------- -------- -------- Net income as reported $ 55,287 $ 68,756 $ 60,523 Stock-based employee compensation cost included in net income as reported - - - Stock-based employee compensation cost under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 $ 432 $ 680 $ 1,078 Pro forma net income $ 54,855 $ 68,076 $ 59,445 Earnings per common share, basic $ 0.86 $ 1.52 $ 1.36 Earnings per common share, diluted $ 0.85 $ 1.52 $ 1.35 Pro forma earnings per share, basic $ 0.85 $ 1.51 $ 1.33 Pro forma earnings per share, diluted $ 0.84 $ 1.50 $ 1.32 Reclassifications. Certain components of rental income, other property income, rental expense, real estate tax expense and depreciation and amortization on the December 31, 2001 and 2000 Consolidated Statements of Operations have been reclassified to Income from operations of discontinued assets to assure comparability of all periods presented. In addition, certain balance sheet accounts have been reclassified to assure comparability of all periods presented. Guarantor's Accounting. In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. FIN 45 addresses the disclosure requirements of a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. FIN 45 also requires a guarantor to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for the Company effective December 31, 2002. The liability recognition requirements will be applicable prospectively to all guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. This pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. Variable Interest Entities. On January 31, 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 clarifies existing accounting for whether interest entities should be consolidated in financial statements based upon the investees ability to finance its activities without additional financial support and whether investors possess characteristics of a controlling financial interest. FIN 46 applies to years or interim periods - F11 -

beginning after June 15, 2003 with certain disclosure provisions required for financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. We are currently evaluating the applicability of FIN 46 to our investments in certain restaurant joint ventures established in 2001 and 2002 at Santana Row and have complied with the disclosure provisions of FIN 46 in these financial statements. Investment in Restaurant Ventures at Santana Row. In lieu of tenant allowances, we have a member interest in six restaurant joint ventures which we account for using the equity method of accounting based on current authoritative generally accepted accounting principles. Our member interests currently range from 20% to 88% and in each venture an unrelated third party member controls and manages the day-to-day operations of each restaurant. We are currently evaluating the applicability of the recently issued FIN 46 on our accounting for these ventures. It is possible that some of these ventures in which we are members may require consolidation in our financial statements, beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2003. All of the joint venture agreements in which we currently have an interest greater than 50% provide for a reduction in our membership interest upon the distribution, by the joint venture, of our initial capital contributions. These distributions are based on the cash flow of each venture. As of December 31, 2002, we have invested approximately $5.0 million in these ventures, principally to fund buildout costs of each restaurant. Of this amount, $3.7 million has been capitalized as an investment in these ventures and $1.3 million was expensed in 2002 to reflect our estimate of the permanent impairment of our investment in two of these ventures due principally to declining economic conditions. We are currently committed to invest a total of $8.0 million in these ventures and as such, our maximum exposure to further losses as a result of involvement in these ventures is $6.7 million at December 31, 2002. Because the restaurants have either opened in late 2002 or have not yet opened, operating activity of these ventures and our share of profits and losses earned or incurred through December 31, 2002 is not material. NOTE 2: REAL ESTATE AND ENCUMBRANCES A summary of our properties at December 31, 2002 and 2001 is as follows (in thousands): Accumulated depreciation and Cost amortization Encumbrances ----------- ---------------- ------------ 2002 - ---- Retail properties........................................... $ 2,123,890 $ 378,148 $ 288,817 Retail properties under capital leases...................... 176,253 66,538 104,395 Apartments.................................................. 6,683 6,011 - ----------- ---------------- ------------ $ 2,306,826 $ 450,697 $ 393,212 =========== ================ ============ 2001 - ---- Retail properties........................................... $ 1,928,554 $ 329,911 $ 350,043 Retail properties under capital leases...................... 169,072 59,967 100,293 Apartments.................................................. 6,678 5,889 - ----------- ---------------- ------------ $ 2,104,304 $ 395,767 $ 450,336 =========== ================ ============ - F12 -

During 2002 we expended cash of $243.9 million to improve, redevelop and develop our existing real estate. No properties were acquired during 2002. Of the $243.9 million spent in 2002 on our existing real estate portfolio, approximately $200.3 million was invested in our Santana Row, located in San Jose, California, and Pentagon Row, located in Arlington, Virginia, development projects. The remaining $43.6 million of capital expenditures relates to improvements to common areas, tenant work and various redevelopments, including the Congressional Apartments in Rockville, Maryland, the redevelopment of retail buildings in San Antonio, Texas and the completion of tenant work at the Woodmont East development in Bethesda, Maryland. On April 11, 2002, we sold the street retail property located at 252 Greenwich Avenue in Greenwich, Connecticut for $16.5 million, resulting in a gain of $7.0 million. On April 30, 2002, we sold three street retail properties, two in Westport, Connecticut and one in Westfield, New Jersey, for $19.2 million, resulting in a gain of $6.9 million. On June 6, 2002, we sold the Uptown Shopping Center located in Portland, Oregon for $20.8 million, resulting in a gain of $4.5 million. The proceeds from the sales of the four street retail properties and the Uptown Shopping Center were used to pay down our syndicated credit facility except $16.0 million which was used to pay down the Santana Row construction loan. As of December 31, 2002 all of the proceeds previously held by the qualified intermediary have been released to us. On June 18, 2002, a partnership, in which one of our subsidiaries is the general partner, sold the street retail property located at 6410 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California for $2.3 million, resulting in a gain of $700,000. On June 20, 2002, the proceeds of $6 million previously held by a qualified intermediary from the 2001 sale of the street retail property located at 101 East Oak Street in Chicago, Illinois were released to us. These property sales constitute discontinued operations and as such, the accompanying financial statements have been restated to reclassify the operations of these properties as discontinued operations. A summary of the financial information for the discontinued operations is as follows: 2002 2001 2000 ------- ------- ------- Revenue $ 2,134 $ 5,392 $ 5,092 Income from operations of discontinued operations 1,252 3,459 3,334 On February 1, 2002, we received the minority partner's interest in Santana Row in exchange for a $2.6 million investment in a partnership. We made a $5.9 million loan to the partnership on January 12, 2001, that is due February 28, 2003. The loan was not repaid on the due date. We are currently exploring all available options we may have as a result of the borrowers failure to pay at maturity. Our 113 retail properties at December 31, 2002 are located in 14 states and the District of Columbia. There are approximately 2,100 tenants providing a wide range of retail products and - F13 -

services. These tenants range from sole proprietorships to national retailers; no one tenant or corporate group of tenants accounts for more than 2.5% of revenue. Mortgage notes receivable of $35.6 million are due over various terms from February 2003 to May 2021 and have an average weighted interest rate of 10.2%. Under the terms of certain of these mortgages, we will receive additional interest based upon the gross income of the secured properties and, upon sale of the properties, we will share in the appreciation of the properties. Mortgages and construction loans payable and capital lease obligations are due in installments over various terms extending to 2016 and 2060, respectively, with interest rates ranging from 3.14% to 11.25%. Certain of the capital lease obligations require additional interest payments based upon property performance. On April 17, 2001 we closed on a $295 million construction loan for Santana Row in San Jose, California. The loan, which initially bore interest at LIBOR plus 212.5 basis points, was scheduled to mature on April 16, 2004 with two one-year extension options, subject to obtaining certain operating targets. The construction loan required fees and had various covenants including the maintenance of a minimum shareholders' equity and a maximum ratio of debt to gross asset value. The initial funding of the construction loan took place on August 23, 2001 when the equity and pre-leasing requirements were met. On November 19, 2002 we used the proceeds from our $150 million public note offering, as well as $20 million of available insurance proceeds relating to the Santana Row fire and approximately $7.1 million in borrowings under our credit facility, to pay in full and retire the Santana Row construction loan. At December 31, 2002 there was $24.4 million borrowed under the construction loan for our Woodmont East development in Bethesda, Maryland. The loan had a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 120 basis points. On February 11, 2003 the $24.4 million Woodmont East construction loan and the $17.0 million Friendship Center mortgage were paid off through borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by us, 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. We estimate the fair value of our 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 our marketable convertible subordinated debentures; (3) discounted cash flow analyses are used to estimate the fair value of mortgage notes receivable and payable, using our estimate of current interest rates for similar notes, in 2002 the carrying amount on the balance sheet was used to approximate fair value for mortgage notes receivable since these notes are for specific deals, some contain participation provisions based on the property performance and also are convertible into ownership of the properties; (4) carrying amounts on 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 syndicated facility requires fees and has various covenants including the maintenance of a minimum shareholders' equity and a maximum ratio of debt to net worth. In June 2000, we modified certain covenants and extended the maturity date to December 19, 2003. The current borrowing rate on the syndicated credit facility is LIBOR plus 80 basis points. In December 1998, we obtained a four year loan of $125 million from five institutional lenders. The loan was originally due December 2002 and was extended to December 19, 2003 along with the syndicated credit facility. The loan requires the payment of certain fees and has the same covenants as the syndicated credit facility. The current borrowing rate on the term loan is LIBOR plus 95 basis points. The maximum amount drawn under these facilities during 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $225.0 million, $308.5 million and $343.1 million, respectively. In 2002, 2001 and 2000 the weighted average interest rate on borrowings was 5.0%, 5.6% and 7.2%, respectively, and the average amount outstanding was $189.1 million, $269.7 million and $283.2 million, respectively. A $3.4 million note issued in connection with the land held for future development in Hillsboro, Oregon was repaid on June 18, 2002. NOTE 5. 5 1/4% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES In October 1993, we 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 on October 28, 2003, are convertible into shares of beneficial interest at $36 per share. The debentures are redeemable by us, in whole, at any time after October 28, 1998 at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. At December 2001, we had outstanding $289,000 of 5 1/4% convertible subordinated debentures which were paid off on April 29, 2002. The debentures which were 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. - F17 -

There are no significant financial covenants on these debentures. We are in compliance with the terms and covenants of these borrowings. No principal is due on these notes prior to maturity. NOTE 6. SENIOR NOTES AND DEBENTURES Unsecured senior notes and debentures at December 31, 2002 and 2001 consist of the following (in thousands): 2002 2001 --------- ---------- 8% Notes due April 21, 2002 $ -- $ 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 6.125% Notes due November 15, 2007 150,000 -- 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 --------- ---------- $ 535,000 $ 410,000 ========= ========== On April 22, 2002 our $25 million 8.0% Notes matured and were paid with borrowings from our syndicated credit facilities. On November 19, 2002, we completed the sale of $150 million of senior notes in an underwritten public offering under its shelf registration statement declared effective by the SEC on September 30, 1998. Net proceeds, after deducting the discounts and commissions to the underwriters and other expenses of this offering, totaled approximately $148.7 million. The net proceeds, together with $20 million in available insurance proceeds relating to the Santana Row fire, and approximately $7.1 million in borrowings under our credit facility, to pay in full and retire the Santana Row construction loan, including all interest owed on the loan. The loan agreements contain various covenants, including limitations on the amount of debt and minimum debt service coverage ratios. We are in compliance with all covenants. No principal is due on these notes prior to maturity. In October 2002, we filed a $500 million shelf registration statement, declared effective on November 6, 2002, with the Securities and Exchange Commission which allows the issuance of debt securities, preferred shares and common shares. As of December 31, 2002, the entire $500 million is available under the shelf registration. NOTE 7. DIVIDENDS On October 29, 2002 the Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.485 per common share, payable January 15, 2003 to common shareholders of record January 2, 2003. The total dividend declared per common share for 2002 was $1.93. Also on October 29, 2002 and December 12, 2002 the Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.49688 per share on its Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, payable - F18 -

on January 31, 2003 to shareholders of record on January 15, 2003 and a quarterly cash dividend of $.532 per share on its Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, payable on January 31, 2003 to shareholders of record on January 15, 2003, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2002 $.37 of dividends paid per common share and per Series B preferred share represent a capital gain. $.38 of dividends paid per Series A preferred share represents a capital gain. There were no capital gains in 2001. NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Pentagon Row is a mixed-use project with the retail component developed by the Trust and the residential component developed by an unrelated developer. In October 2000 the general contractor on the project was replaced because of schedule delays and other events that caused both the residential developer and us to conclude that the original contractor was either unable or unwilling to comply with its contractual obligations. We both filed suit against the original contractor to recover damages that were being incurred as a result of defaults under the contract. The original contractor filed a counterclaim against both of us. On May 9, 2002 the residential developer and ourselves entered into a settlement agreement with the original contractor in which a full settlement, totaling $5 million payable to us and the residential developer, was reached for all claims and counterclaims between the parties involved. On June 7, 2002 the original contractor paid into an escrow account the agreed upon settlement amount. This settlement was distributed, $3 million to us, which offset our cost of the development, and $2 million to the residential developer, in July 2002. In addition, we are 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 our financial condition or results of operations. As detailed at Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Investment in Restaurant Joint Ventures at Santana Row," we are currently committed to invest approximately $8.0 million in these joint ventures. As of December 31, 2002 we have invested approximately $5.0 million. We anticipate investing the remaining commitment of $3.0 million in the first six months of 2003. Under the terms of the Congressional Plaza partnership agreement, from and after January 1, 1986 Rockville Plaza Company ("RPC"), an unaffiliated third party, has the right to require us and the two other minority partners to purchase from half to all of RPC's 37.5% interest in Congressional Plaza at the interest's then-current fair market value. Based on management's current estimate of fair market value, our estimated liability upon exercise of the put option is approximately $27.5 million. In conjunction with a redevelopment currently taking place at the property, we have agreed to acquire an additional 7.5% interest in Congressional Plaza from RPC, thereby lowering their ownership percentage to 30%, in exchange for funding approximately $7 million of RPC's share of the redevelopment cost. The funding will take place through the first quarter of 2003 and the transaction will be completed in 2003. After the completion of this transaction, our estimated liability upon the exercise of the put option will be approximately $22 million. Under the terms of various other partnerships which own shopping center properties with a cost of approximately $71 million, the partners may exchange their 796,773 operating units for cash or the same number of our common shares, at our option. During the second quarter of 2002 - F19 -

we issued 100,000 of our common shares valued at $2.8 million in exchange for 100,000 operating units and cash of $205,000 in exchange for an additional 7,816 operating units. On February 14, 2003 we paid $333,000 to redeem an additional 12,000 operating units. Under the terms of four other partnerships which own street retail properties in southern California with a cost of approximately $61 million, if certain leasing and revenue levels are obtained for the properties owned by the partnerships, the other partners may require us to purchase their partnership interests at a formula price based upon net operating income. The purchase price may be paid in cash or for two of the partnerships, a limited number of our common shares at the election of the other partners. In certain of the partnerships, if the other partners do not redeem their interest, we may choose to purchase the limited partnership interests upon the same terms. Street Retail San Antonio LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trust, entered into a Development Agreement (the "Agreement") on March 13, 2000 with the City of San Antonio, Texas (the "City") related to the redevelopment of land and buildings that we own along Houston Street in the City. Houston Street and the surrounding area have been designated by the City as a Reinvestment Zone (the "Zone"). The City has agreed to facilitate redevelopment of the Zone by undertaking and financing certain public improvements based on our agreement to redevelop our properties in the Zone. Under the terms of the Agreement, the City issued debt to fund specific public improvements within the Zone. The initial and primary source of funding to the City for repayment of the debt and debt service is the incremental tax revenue that accretes to the City as the taxable value of the redeveloped properties within the Zone increase. We are required to issue an annual letter of credit, commencing on October 1, 2002 through September 30, 2014, that covers our designated portion of the debt service should the incremental tax revenue generated not cover the debt service. We posted a letter of credit with the City on September 25, 2002 for $795,000. Our obligation under this agreement cannot be determined at this time because it is dependent on the annual assessed value of the properties in the Zone and the related tax revenue generated. We were not required to provide any funding in 2002 or for the semi-annual payment due March 15, 2003. Based on the current assessed value of the properties in the Zone, we expect to provide some funding under the Agreement prior to its expiration on September 30, 2014, but anticipate that our obligation will not exceed $600,000 in any year and will be between $2 million and $3 million in total. If the Zone creates sufficient tax increment funding to repay the City's debt prior to the expiration of the Agreement, we will be eligible to receive reimbursement of amounts paid for debt service shortfalls together with interest thereon. As of December 31, 2002 in connection with renovation and development projects, the Trust has contractual obligations of approximately $78 million, including approximately $71 million for Santana Row Phase I and Phase II. - F20 -

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY In May 1999, we reorganized as a Maryland real estate investment trust by amending and restating our 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 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 we 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 were not redeemable prior to October 6, 2002. On or after that date, the Preferred Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at our option, at a redemption price of $25 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. Dividends on the Preferred Shares are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of January, April, July and October. On November 19, 2001 we issued 5.4 million 8.5% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares at $25 per share in a public offering, realizing cash proceeds of approximately $130.2 million after costs of $4.8 million. The Series B Preferred Shares are not redeemable prior to November 27, 2006. On or after that date, the Preferred Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at our option, at a redemption price of $25 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. Dividends on the Preferred Shares are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of January, April, July and October. On June 12, 2002 we issued 2.2 million common shares at $25.98 per share netting $56.6 million, after all expenses of the offering. We have a Dividend Reinvestment Plan, whereby shareholders may use their dividends and make optional cash payments to purchase shares. In 2002, 2001 and 2000, 134,247 shares, 159,234 shares and 153,713 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 our common shares. During 2000, a total of 1,325,900 - F21 -

shares were repurchased, at a cost of $25.2 million. We did not repurchase shares in 2002 or 2001. In 2002, 2001 and 2000, 98,092 common shares, 96,657 common shares and 270,809 common shares, respectively, were awarded to our former Chief Executive Officer 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. Vesting of common shares awarded to the former Chief Executive Officer was accelerated pursuant to his contractual arrangement. In January 1994 under the terms of the 1993 Long Term Incentive Plan, Ronald Kaplan, an ex-officer of the Trust purchased 40,000 common shares at $25 per share with the assistance of a $1.0 million loan from us. The loan, which had a term of 12 years and a current balance of $375,000, bore interest at 6.24%. Forgiveness of up to 75% of the loan was subject to our future performance. 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 we met certain performance criteria. The loan was paid in full on October 18, 2002. On January 26, 1998, we granted 75,000 Performance Shares to an employee for which vesting was tied to leasing performance as it relates to Santana Row and other projects. Performance was to be measured at three separate dates extending into 2003. By December 31, 2002, the first two performance measures had been met. In connection with the restructuring (See Note 13), the 2003 performance measure was accelerated and granted as of December 31, 2002. We applied variable accounting to these awards by valuing the shares at each date the performance measures were either met or accelerated and recorded a charge of $712,000 as part of the restructuring charge. In 1991, the Board of Trustees of the Company approved a Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") under Section 423 of the Code. The ESPP is regarded as a noncompensatory plan under APB No. 25, because it meets the qualifications under IRC 423. Under the terms of the ESPP, eligible employees may purchase common shares of the Company at a price that is equal to 90% of the lower of the common shares' fair market value at the beginning or the end of a quarterly period. The fair market value of a common share is equal to the last sale price of the common shares on the New York Stock Exchange. Eligible employees may purchase the common shares through payroll deductions of up to 10% of eligible compensation. The ESPP is not subject to the provisions of ERISA. The ESPP terminated on January 31, 2001. Under the terms of the ESPP, eligible employees have purchased 446,000 common shares at $15.125 per share with the assistance of loans of $6.7 million from us. Originally, ESPP called for one sixteenth of the loan to be forgiven each year for eight years, as long as the participant was still employed by us. 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 criteria related to our performance. One sixteenth of the loan has been forgiven during each year of the plan. At December 31, 2002, we had outstanding purchase loans to participants of approximately $830,000. 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. On January 24, 2003 a $750,000 note was repaid. Tax loans with a balance of $1.8 million in 2002, $3.1 million in 2001 and $2.2 million in 2000 have been made in connection with restricted share grants to certain of our officers 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 January 24, 2003 a $908,000 tax loan was repaid. - F22 -

On April 13, 1999, the Shareholder Rights Plan adopted in 1989 expired. On March 11, 1999 we entered into an Amended and Restated Rights Agreement with American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, pursuant to which (i) the expiration date of our 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 10. 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. In May 2001 our shareholders' approved the 2001 Long Term Incentive Plan ("2001 Plan") which authorized an additional 1,750,000 shares for future option and other stock based awards. The option price to acquire shares under the 2001 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, we had outstanding from our officers and employees notes for $2.5 million, $2.5 million and $2.6 million at December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Notes issued after 2001 bear interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points with the rate adjusted annually. Notes issued prior to 2002 under the 1993 Plan bear interest at the lesser of (i) our borrowing rate on the date of exercise or (ii) 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) our 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 and have five-year terms. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" requires pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as if we accounted for our stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for options issued in 2002, 2001 and 2000 has been estimated as $536,000, $350,000 and $549,000, respectively, as of the date of grant, using a Black Scholes model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 4.5%, 4.9% and 5.2%; volatility factors of the expected market price of our shares of 16%, 20% and 14%; and a weighted average expected life of the option of 6.9 years, 6.9 years and 5.7 years. Our assumed weighted average dividend yield used to estimate the fair value of the options issued was 7.70% in 2002. 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. - F23 -

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): Year ended December 31, 2002 2001 2000 -------- -------- -------- Pro forma net income $ 54,855 $ 68,076 $ 59,445 Pro forma earnings per share, basic $ .85 $ 1.51 $ 1.33 Pro forma earnings per share, diluted $ .84 $ 1.50 $ 1.32 A summary of our stock option activity for the years ended December 31, is as follows: Shares Under Weighted Average Option Exercise Price ------------ ---------------- January 1, 2000 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 Options granted 417,500 19.80 Options exercised (27,566) 20.81 Options forfeited (351,834) 22.88 ------------ December 31, 2001 3,756,381 23.12 Options granted 435,500 25.26 Options exercised (951,971) 21.92 Options forfeited (19,168) 23.95 ------------ December 31, 2002 3,220,742 23.76 ============ At December 31, 2002 and 2001, options for 2.5 million and 2.7 million shares, respectively, were exercisable. The average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was 5.4 years and 5.8 years, respectively. The weighted average grant date fair value per option for options granted in 2002 and 2001 was $1.23 and $1.04, respectively. The exercise price of options outstanding at December 31, 2002 ranged from $18.00 per share to $27.75 per share. NOTE 11. SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLANS We have 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 $11,000. Under the plan, we contribute out of our current net income, 50% of each employee's first 5% of contributions. In addition, we may make discretionary contributions within the limits of deductibility set forth by the Code. Our employees are immediately eligible to become plan participants. Employees are not eligible to receive matching contributions until their first anniversary of employment. Our - F24 -

expense for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $271,000, $243,000 and $216,000, respectively. A nonqualified deferred compensation plan for our officers and directors was established in 1994. The plan allows the participants to defer future income until the earlier of age 65 or termination of employment. As of December 31, 2002, we are liable to participants for approximately $2.2 million under this plan. Although this is an unfunded plan, we have purchased certain investments with which to match this obligation. NOTE 12. INTEREST EXPENSE We incurred interest totaling $88.6 million, $87.1 million and $79.7 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, of which $23.5 million, $17.8 million, and $13.3 million respectively, was capitalized. Interest paid was $86.2 million in 2002, $84.1 million in 2001 and $83.1 million in 2000. NOTE 13. CHANGE IN BUSINESS PLAN On February 28, 2002, we adopted a new business plan which returned our primary focus to our traditional business of acquiring and redeveloping community and neighborhood shopping centers that are anchored by supermarkets, drug stores, or high volume, value oriented retailers that provide consumer necessities. We will complete Bethesda Row and Santana Row (Pentagon Row was completed in 2002) but do not plan to develop any new large-scale, mixed-use, ground-up development projects. Rather, we will seek to acquire income producing centers around our existing markets and will identify and execute redevelopment opportunities in our existing portfolio. Concurrent with the adoption of the business plan, we adopted a management succession plan and restructured our management team. In connection with this change in our business plan, we recorded a charge of $18.2 million. This charge included a reserve for a restructuring charge of $8.5 million made up of $6.9 million of severance and other compensation costs for several of our senior officers related to the management restructuring, as well as the write-off of $1.6 million of our development costs. All charges against the reserve, totaling $8.5 million, were expended during 2002. An additional component of the restructuring charge is an impairment loss of $9.7 million representing the estimated loss on the abandonment of development projects held for sale, primarily the Tanasbourne development project located in Portland, Oregon, thereby adjusting the value of these assets to their estimated fair value. We are marketing these properties, components of our Western region, for sale. The carrying value of these properties as of December 31, 2002, classified on our consolidated balance sheet as real estate under development, is $8.5 million. On December 20, 2002, we announced the resignation of Steven J. Guttman as Trustee, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Trustees effective January 1, 2003. Donald C. Wood, our then President and Chief Operating Officer, was named Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Trustees. Mark Ordan, a member of the Board of Trustees since 1996, was named non-executive chairman of the board. As a result of this transition, we recorded a charge of $13.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2002 for payments and benefits to Mr. Guttman pursuant to his contractual arrangements with the Trust and for other transition related costs. Of - F25 -

this amount, $7.9 million had not been paid as of December 31, 2002, the majority of which was paid in the first quarter of 2003. NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On February 11, 2003 the $24.4 million Woodmont East construction loan and the $17.0 million Friendship Center mortgage were paid off through borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Pursuant to the 2001 Incentive Bonus Plan, vice presidents and certain key employees receive part of their 2002 bonus in Federal Realty shares which vest over three years. Consequently, on February 12, 2003, 16,496 shares were awarded under this plan. Also in February 2003, 265,000 options and 113,500 performance shares were granted to certain officers and key employees. NOTE 15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Our former Chairman and CEO, Steven J. Guttman, has an ownership interest in three retailers, comprising approximately 3,500 square feet, at Santana Row. The leases were negotiated at what management believes to be arms length at market terms. In addition, Nate Fishsin one of our officers, whose last day of employment with the Trust will be March 31, 2003, has an ownership interest in a retailer occupying approximately 2,600 square feet at Santana Row. This lease was also negotiated at what management believes to be arms length at market terms. - F26 -

Exhibit 3.2 [LOGO] FEDERAL REALTY INVESTMENT TRUST Bylaws Federal Realty Investment Trust Amended and Restated Bylaws (February 12, 2003) ARTICLE I OFFICES Section 1. PRINCIPAL OFFICE. The principal office of the Trust shall be located at such place or places as the Board of Trustees may designate. Section 2. ADDITIONAL OFFICES. The Trust may have additional offices at such places as the Board of Trustees may from time to time determine or the business of the Trust may require. ARTICLE II MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS Section 1. PLACE. All meetings of shareholders shall be held at the principal executive office of the Trust or at such other place within the United States as shall be stated in the notice of the meeting. Section 2. ANNUAL MEETING. An annual meeting of the shareholders for the election of Trustees and the transaction of any business within the powers of the Trust shall be held during the month of May of each year, after the delivery of the annual report referred to in Section 12 of this Article II, at a convenient location and on proper notice, on a date and at the time set by the Trustees, beginning with the year 1999. Failure to hold an annual meeting does not invalidate the Trust's existence or affect any otherwise valid acts of the Trust. Section 3. SPECIAL MEETINGS. The Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or one-third of the Trustees may call special meetings of the shareholders. Special meetings of shareholders shall also be called by the Secretary upon the written request of the holders of shares entitled to cast not less than a twenty-five percent of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting. Such request shall state the purpose of such meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at such meeting. The Secretary shall inform such shareholders of the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing notice of the meeting and, upon payment by such shareholders to the Trust of such costs, the Secretary shall give notice to each shareholder entitled to notice of the meeting. Unless requested by shareholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting, a special meeting need not be called to consider any matter which is substantially the same as a matter voted on at any meeting of the shareholders held during the preceding twelve months. Page 1

Section 4. NOTICE. Not less than ten nor more than 90 days before each meeting of shareholders, the Secretary shall give to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting and to each shareholder not entitled to vote who is entitled to notice of the meeting written or printed notice stating the time and place of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting or as otherwise may be required by any statute, the purpose for which the meeting is called, either by mail or by presenting it to such shareholder personally or by leaving it at his residence or usual place of business. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the shareholder at his post office address as it appears on the records of the Trust, with postage thereon prepaid. Section 5. SCOPE OF NOTICE. Any business of the Trust may be transacted at an annual meeting of shareholders without being specifically designated in the notice, except such business as is required by any statute to be stated in such notice. No business shall be transacted at a special meeting of shareholders except as specifically designated in the notice. Section 6. ORGANIZATION. The Chairman of the Board shall preside over every meeting of the shareholders. If there is no Chairman or the Chairman is not present at any meeting of the shareholders, the Chief Executive Officer shall preside. In the case of a vacancy in office or an absence of both the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, one of the following officers present shall conduct the meeting in the order stated: the President, the Vice Presidents (as defined in Article V, Section 8) in their order of rank and seniority, or a Chairman chosen by the shareholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes which all shareholders present in person or by proxy are entitled to cast, shall act as Chairman. The Secretary, or, in his absence, an Assistant Secretary, or in the absence of both the Secretary and Assistant Secretaries, a person appointed by the Chief Executive Officer, shall act as Secretary of the meeting. Section 7. QUORUM. At any meeting of shareholders, the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting shall constitute a quorum; but this section shall not affect any requirement under any statute or the Declaration of Trust for the vote necessary for the adoption of any measure. The shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date without notice other than announcement at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. Section 8. VOTING. A plurality of all the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to elect a Trustee. Each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are Trustees to be elected and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted. A majority of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to approve any other matter which may properly come before the meeting, unless more than a majority of the votes cast is required herein or by statute or by the Declaration of Trust. Unless otherwise provided in the Declaration of Trust, each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders. Section 9. PROXIES. A shareholder may cast the votes entitled to be cast by the shares owned of record by him either in person or by proxy executed by the shareholder or by his duly Page 2

authorized agent in any manner allowed by law. Such proxy shall be filed with the Secretary of the Trust before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after eleven months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Section 10. VOTING OF SHARES BY CERTAIN HOLDERS. Shares of the Trust registered in the name of a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other entity, if entitled to be voted, may be voted by the president or a vice president, a general partner, a manager, a managing member or trustee thereof, as the case may be, or a proxy appointed by any of the foregoing individuals, unless some other person who has been appointed to vote such shares pursuant to a bylaw or a resolution of the governing board of such corporation or other entity or agreement of the partners of the partnership or agreement of the members of the limited liability company presents a certified copy of such bylaw, resolution or agreement, in which case such person may vote such shares. Any trustee or other fiduciary may vote shares registered in his name as such fiduciary, either in person or by proxy. Shares of the Trust directly or indirectly owned by it shall not be voted at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares entitled to be voted at any given time, unless they are held by it in a fiduciary capacity, in which case they may be voted and shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time. The Trustees may adopt by resolution a procedure by which a shareholder may certify in writing to the Trust that any shares registered in the name of the shareholder are held for the account of a specified person other than the shareholder. The resolution shall set forth the class of shareholders who may make the certification, the purpose for which the certification may be made, the form of certification and the information to be contained in it; if the certification is with respect to a record date or closing of the share transfer books, the time after the record date or closing of the share transfer books within which the certification must be received by the Trust; and any other provisions with respect to the procedure which the Trustees consider necessary or desirable. On receipt of such certification, the person specified in the certification shall be regarded as, for the purposes set forth in the certification, the shareholder of record of the specified shares in place of the shareholder who makes the certification. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in the Declaration of Trust or these Bylaws, Title 3, Subtitle 7 of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland (or any successor statute) shall not apply to any acquisition by any person of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust. This section may be repealed, in whole or in part, at any time, whether before or after an acquisition of control shares and, upon such repeal, may, to the extent provided by any successor bylaw, apply to any prior or subsequent control share acquisition. Section 11. INSPECTORS. At any meeting of shareholders, the chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more persons as inspectors for such meeting. Such inspectors shall ascertain and report the number of shares represented at the meeting based upon their determination of the validity and effect of proxies, count all votes, report the results and perform such other acts as are proper to conduct the election and voting with impartiality and fairness to all the shareholders. Each report of an inspector shall be in writing and signed by him or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting. If there is more than one inspector, the Page 3

report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors. The report of the inspector or inspectors on the number of shares represented at the meeting and the results of the voting shall be prima facie evidence thereof. Section 12. REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS. The Trustees shall submit to the shareholders at or before the annual meeting of shareholders a report of the business and operations of the Trust during such fiscal year, containing a balance sheet and a statement of income and surplus of the Trust, accompanied by the certification of an independent certified public accountant, and such further information as the Trustees may determine is required pursuant to any law or regulation to which the Trust is subject. Within the earlier of 20 days after the annual meeting of shareholders or 120 days after the end of the fiscal year of the Trust, the Trustees shall place the annual report on file at the principal office of the Trust and with any governmental agencies as may be required by law and as the Trustees may deem appropriate. Section 13. NOMINATIONS AND PROPOSALS BY SHAREHOLDERS. (a) Annual Meetings of Shareholders. (1) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Trustees and the proposal of business to be considered by the shareholders may be made at an annual meeting of shareholders: (A) pursuant to the Trust's notice of meeting; (B) by or at the direction of the Trustees; or (C) by any shareholder of the Trust who was a shareholder of record both at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 13(a) and at the time of the annual meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 13(a). (2) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder pursuant to clause (C) of paragraph (a)(1) of this Section 13, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Trust and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for action by shareholders. To be timely, a shareholder's notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Trust not later than the close of business on the 120th calendar day before the first anniversary of the date of the Trust's proxy statement released to shareholders in connection with the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the current year's annual meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the preceding year's meeting or if the Trust did not hold an annual meeting the preceding year, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so delivered within a reasonable time before the Trust begins to print and mail its proxy materials. In no event shall the public announcement of a postponement or adjournment of an annual meeting to a later date or time commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder's notice as described above. Such shareholder's notice shall set forth: (A) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a Trustee all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of Trustees in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (including such person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Trustee if elected); (B) as to any other business that the shareholder proposes to bring Page 4

before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such shareholder and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made: (i) the name and address of such shareholder, as they appear on the Trust's books, and of such beneficial owner; and (ii) the number of each class of shares of the Trust which are owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder and such beneficial owner. (3) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (a)(2) of this Section 13 to the contrary, in the event that the number of Trustees to be elected to the Board of Trustees is increased and there is no public announcement by the Trust naming all of the nominees for Trustee or specifying the size of the increased Board of Trustees at least 70 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, a shareholder's notice required by this Section 13(a) shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Trust not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Trust. (b) Special Meetings of Shareholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Trust's notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Trustees may be made at a special meeting of shareholders at which Trustees are to be elected: (i) pursuant to the Trust's notice of meeting; (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Trustees; or (iii) provided that the Board of Trustees has determined that Trustees shall be elected at such special meeting, by any shareholder of the Trust who was a shareholder of record both at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 13(b) and at the time of the special meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 13(b). In the event the Trust calls a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more Trustees to the Board of Trustees, any such shareholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position as specified in the Trust's notice of meeting, if the shareholder's notice containing the information required by paragraph (a)(2) of this Section 13 shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Trust not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Trustees to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of a postponement or adjournment of a special meeting to a later date or time commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder's notice as described above. (c) General. (1) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 13 shall be eligible to serve as Trustees and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 13. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business Page 5

proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 13 and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Section 13, to declare that such nomination or proposal shall be disregarded. (2) For purposes of this Section 13, "public announcement" shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable news service or in a document publicly filed by the Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13, a shareholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of state law and of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 13. Nothing in this Section 13 shall be deemed to affect any rights of shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in, nor the right of the Trust to omit a proposal from, the Trust's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. Section 14. INFORMAL ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS. (a) Any action by Shareholders may be taken without a meeting, if a majority of Shares entitled to vote on the matter (or such larger proportion of Shares as shall be required to take such action) consent to the action in writing and the written consents are filed with the records of the meetings of Shareholders. (b) In order that the Trust may determine the shareholders entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Trustees may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Trustees, and which date shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Trustees. Any shareholder of record seeking to have the shareholders authorize or take action by written consent shall, by written notice to the Secretary of the Trust, request the Board of Trustees to fix a record date. The Board of Trustees shall promptly, but in all events within ten (10) days of the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Trustees within ten (10) days of the date on which such a request is received and no prior action by the Board of Trustees is required by applicable law, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Trust by delivery to its registered office in the State of Maryland, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Trust having custody of the book in which proceedings of shareholders meetings are recorded, in each case to the attention of the Secretary of Trust. Delivery shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Trustees within ten (10) days of the date on which such a request is received and prior action by the Board of Trustees is required by applicable law, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board of Trustees adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

Trustees may be reimbursed for expenses of attendance, if any, at each annual, regular or special meeting of the Trustees or of any committee thereof; and for their expenses, if any, in connection with each property visit and any other service or activity performed or engaged in as Trustees; but nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any Trustees from serving the Trust in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

Section 16. INTERESTED TRUSTEE TRANSACTIONS. Section 2-419 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL") shall be available for and apply to any contract or other transaction between the Trust and any of its Trustees or between the Trust and any other trust, corporation, firm or other entity in which any of its Trustees is a trustee or director or has a material financial interest.

The signatures may be either manual or facsimile. Certificates shall be consecutively numbered; and if the Trust shall, from time to time, issue several classes of shares, each class may have its own number series. A certificate is valid and may be issued whether or not an officer who signed it is still an officer when it is issued. Each certificate representing shares which are restricted as to their transferability or voting powers, which are preferred or limited as to their dividends or as to their allocable portion of the assets upon liquidation or which are redeemable at the option of the Trust, shall have a statement of such restriction, limitation, preference or redemption provision, or a summary thereof, plainly stated on the certificate. In lieu of such statement or summary, the Trust may set forth upon the face or back of the certificate a statement that the Trust will furnish to any shareholder, upon request and without charge, a full statement of such information. Section 2. TRANSFERS. Certificates shall be treated as negotiable and title thereto and to the shares they represent shall be transferred by delivery thereof to the same extent as those of a Page 13

Maryland stock corporation. Upon surrender to the Trust or the transfer agent of the Trust of a share certificate duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, the Trust shall issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books. The Trust shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Maryland. Notwithstanding the foregoing, transfers of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust will be subject in all respects to the Declaration of Trust and all of the terms and conditions contained therein. Section 3. REPLACEMENT CERTIFICATE. Any officer designated by the Trustees may direct a new certificate to be issued in place of any certificate previously issued by the Trust alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing the issuance of a new certificate, an officer designated by the Trustees may, in his discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or the owner's legal representative to advertise the same in such manner as the officer shall require and/or to give bond, with sufficient surety, to the Trust to indemnify it against any loss or claim which may arise as a result of the issuance of a new certificate. Section 4. CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS OR FIXING OF RECORD DATE. The Trustees may set, in advance, a record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or determining shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or the allotment of any other rights, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose. Such date, in any case, shall not be prior to the close of business on the day the record date is fixed and shall be not more than 90 days and, in the case of a meeting of shareholders not less than ten days, before the date on which the meeting or particular action requiring such determination of shareholders of record is to be held or taken. In lieu of fixing a record date, the Trustees may provide that the share transfer books shall be closed for a stated period but not longer than 20 days. If the share transfer books are closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, such books shall be closed for at least ten days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed and the share transfer books are not closed for the determination of shareholders: (a) the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day on which the notice of meeting is mailed or the 30th day before the meeting, whichever is the closer date to the meeting; and (b) the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend or an allotment of any other rights shall be the close of business on the day on which the resolution of the Trustees, declaring the dividend or allotment of rights, is adopted. Page 14

When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, except when: (i) the determination has been made through the closing of the transfer books and the stated period of closing has expired; or (ii) the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the record date fixed for the original meeting, in either of which case a new record date shall be determined as set forth herein. Section 5. STOCK LEDGER. The Trust shall maintain at its principal office or at the office of its counsel, accountants or transfer agent, an original or duplicate share ledger containing the name and address of each shareholder and the number of shares of each class held by such shareholder. Section 6. FRACTIONAL SHARES; ISSUANCE OF UNITS. The Trustees may issue fractional shares or provide for the issuance of scrip, all on such terms and under such conditions as they may determine. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Declaration of Trust or these Bylaws, the Trustees may issue units consisting of different securities of the Trust. Any security issued in a unit shall have the same characteristics as any identical securities issued by the Trust, except that the Trustees may provide that for a specified period securities of the Trust issued in such unit may be transferred on the books of the Trust only in such unit. ARTICLE VIII ACCOUNTING YEAR The Trustees shall have the power, from time to time, to fix the fiscal year of the Trust by a duly adopted resolution. ARTICLE IX DISTRIBUTIONS Section 1. AUTHORIZATION. Dividends and other distributions upon the shares of beneficial interest of the Trust may be authorized and declared by the Trustees, subject to the provisions of law and the Declaration of Trust. Dividends and other distributions may be paid in cash, property or shares of the Trust, subject to the provisions of law and the Declaration of Trust. Section 2. CONTINGENCIES. Before payment of any dividends or other distributions, there may be set aside out of any funds of the Trust available for dividends or other distributions such sum or sums as the Trustees may from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve fund for contingencies, for equalizing dividends or other distributions, for repairing or maintaining any property of the Trust or for such other purpose as the Trustees shall determine to be in the best interest of the Trust, and the Trustees may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created. Page 15

ARTICLE XI SEAL Section 1. SEAL. The Trustees may authorize the adoption of a seal by the Trust. The seal shall have inscribed thereon the name of the Trust and the year of its formation. The Trustees may authorize one or more duplicate seals and provide for the custody thereof. Section 2. AFFIXING SEAL. Whenever the Trust is permitted or required to affix its seal to a document, it shall be sufficient to meet the requirements of any law, rule or regulation relating to a seal to place the word "(SEAL)" adjacent to the signature of the person authorized to execute the document on behalf of the Trust. ARTICLE XII INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCE OF EXPENSES To the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, the Trust shall indemnify: (a) any Trustee, officer or shareholder or any former Trustee, officer or shareholder (including among the foregoing, for all purposes of this Article XII and without limitation, any individual who, while a Trustee, officer or shareholder and at the express request of the Trust, serves or has served another real estate investment trust, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director, officer, shareholder, manager, member, partner or trustee of such real estate investment trust, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise) who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of a proceeding to which he or she was made a party by reason of service in such capacity, against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in connection with the proceeding; (b) any Trustee or officer or any former Trustee or officer against any claim or liability to which he or she may become subject by reason of such status unless it is established that: (i) his or her act or omission was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) he or she actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her act or omission was unlawful; and (c) each shareholder or former shareholder against any claim or liability to which he or she may become subject by reason of such status. In addition, the Trust shall, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, pay or reimburse, in advance of final disposition of a proceeding, reasonable expenses incurred by a Trustee, officer or shareholder or former Trustee, officer or shareholder made a party to a proceeding by reason such status, provided that, in the case of a Trustee or officer, the Trust shall have received: (1) a written affirmation by the Trustee or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Trust as authorized by these Bylaws; and (2) a written undertaking by or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid Page 16

or reimbursed by the Trust if it shall ultimately be determined that the applicable standard of conduct was not met. The Trust may, with the approval of its Trustees, provide such indemnification or payment or reimbursement of expenses to any Trustee, officer or shareholder or any former Trustee, officer or shareholder who served a predecessor of the Trust and to any employee or agent of the Trust or a predecessor of the Trust. Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article, nor the adoption or amendment of any other provision of the Declaration of Trust or these Bylaws inconsistent with this Article, shall apply to or affect in any respect the applicability of this Article with respect to any act or failure to act which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption. Any indemnification or payment or reimbursement of the expenses permitted by these Bylaws shall be furnished in accordance with the procedures provided for indemnification or payment or reimbursement of expenses, as the case may be, under Section 2-418 of the MGCL for directors of Maryland corporations. The Trust may provide to Trustees, officers and shareholders such other and further indemnification or payment or reimbursement of expenses, as the case may be, to the fullest extent permitted by the MGCL, as in effect from time to time, for directors of Maryland corporations. ARTICLE XIII WAIVER OF NOTICE Whenever any notice is required to be given pursuant to the Declaration of Trust or Bylaws or pursuant to applicable law, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any meeting need be set forth in the waiver of notice, unless specifically required by statute. The attendance of any person at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where such person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. ARTICLE XIV AMENDMENT OF BYLAWS Section 1. AMENDMENT BY SHAREHOLDERS. Any provision of these Bylaws may be adopted, altered or repealed by the shareholders at any meeting of shareholders called for that purpose, by the affirmative vote of holders of not less than a majority of the shares then outstanding and entitled to vote.
