the requirements of Form 10-Q and does not purport to be financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting

The balance sheet as of December 31, 1994 was audited by Grant
Thornton LLP, independent public accountants, who expressed an
unqualified opinion on it in their report dated February 10, 1995.
All other financial information presented is unaudited but has been
reviewed as of September 30, 1995 and for each of the nine month

Accountants' Review Report
- --------------------------

Trustees and Shareholders
Federal Realty Investment Trust

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Federal Realty
Investment Trust as of September 30, 1995 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the nine month
periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 and the consolidated statements of
operations for the three-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical review procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which
is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated
February 10, 1995, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994 is
stated fairly, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 1995
(see accountants' review report)
(unaudited)


NOTE A - ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER DATA

Reference should be made to the notes to financial statements included in
the Annual Report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1994 which
contain the Trust's accounting policies and other data.

Certain previously reported amounts for 1994 have been reclassified to
assure comparability of all periods presented. See Note H.

NOTE B - DIVIDENDS PAYABLE

On September 12, 1995 the Trustees declared a cash dividend of $.41 per
share, payable October 13, 1995 to shareholders of record September 25, 1995.

NOTE C - REAL ESTATE

During the period January 1, 1995 through September 30, 1995 the Trust
purchased thirteen commercial buildings for cash ("main street retail
properties") as follows: (1) a 6,800 square foot building in Greenwich,
Connecticut for $2.0 million on February 16, 1995; (2) a 125,000 square foot
group of seven buildings in West Hartford, Connecticut for $15.3 million on
April 5, 1995; (3) a 35,500 square foot building in Greenwich, Connecticut on
April 12, 1995 for $12.9 million; (4) a 10,000 square foot building in
Westport, Connecticut for $5.7 million on June 15, 1995; (5) an 11,000 square
foot building in Westfield, New Jersey for $2.2 million on August 16, 1995; (6)
a 12,000 square foot building in Brookline, Massachusetts for $3.7 million on
September 7, 1995 and (7) a 7,000 square foot building in Evanston, Illinois for
$1.0 million on September 12, 1995. In connection with certain of these
purchases, brokerage commissions of $548,000 were incurred to a company that is
fifty percent owned by a brother of the Trust's president. These commissions
were paid pursuant to a brokerage contract on terms comparable to terms
contained in contracts which the Trust has with brokers providing similar
services in other geographic areas.

In addition the Trust has purchased two shopping centers and two properties
abutting existing shopping centers. On April 27, 1995 the Trust purchased the
302,000 square foot Finley Square

10
Shopping Center in Downers Grove, Illinois for cash of $18.8 million.  On
September 22, 1995 the Trust acquired the 284,000 square foot Bristol Shopping
Center in Bristol, Connecticut for $19.6 million, which was paid by assuming a
mortgage of $11.3 million, by issuing 337,527 shares of common stock, valued at
$7.3 million, and by cash for the balance. A commission of $142,500 was paid to
the company which is 50% owned by a brother of the Trust's president in
connection with the purchase of this shopping center. On June 12, 1995 the Trust
purchased a 12,400 square foot building contiguous to its Bethesda Row property
for $2.0 million in cash. On September 1, 1995 the Trust purchased a building
abutting Flourtown Shopping Center for $3.1 million in cash.

On August 1, 1995 the Trust sold the 111,000 square foot North City
Shopping Center in New Castle, Pennsylvania for $1.8 million, resulting in a
loss of $545,000.


NOTE D - Senior Notes

On January 19, 1995 the Trust issued $100.0 million of 8 7/8% Notes, due
January 15, 2000. The notes, which were issued at a price of 99.815%, pay
interest semiannually on January 15 and July 15 and are not redeemable prior to
maturity. After deducting the underwriting discount and other costs, the Trust
netted approximately $98.9 million.

In order to protect itself against the risk that the general level of
interest rates for such securities would rise before the senior notes were
priced, in December 1994, the Trust entered into two interest rate hedge
agreements on a total principal amount of $75.0 million. The cost of the
agreements, which terminated on January 20, 1995, was $21,000, which is being
amortized into interest expense over the life of the notes.

In January 1995 the Trust executed a five year interest rate swap on $25.0
million, whereby the Trust swapped fixed interest payment obligations of 8.136%
for a floating rate interest payment of three month LIBOR. The floating rate
during the first quarter of 1995 was 6.1875%. In May 1995 the swap was
terminated and the Trust sold the swap for $1.5 million, which is being
amortized as a deduction to interest expense over the remaining term.

On April 21, 1995 the Trust issued $25.0 million of senior notes. The
notes, which are due April 21, 2002 and bear interest at 8%, payable
semiannually, were issued at a price of 99.683%. The proceeds of $24.9 million
were used to repay amounts which had been borrowed on the revolving credit
facilities during April 1995 to fund acquisitions and property renovations.

11
NOTE E - MORTGAGES PAYABLE

In January, 1995 the Trust repaid the $22.5 million mortgage on Northeast
Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia with proceeds from the senior note offering. On
September 22, 1995 in connection with the purchase of the Bristol Shopping
Center, the Trust assumed a $11.3 million mortgage. The mortgage, which bears
interest at 9.65%, is payable in monthly installments of $106,446 with a balloon
payment of $10.7 million due in August 1998.


NOTE F - NOTES PAYABLE

The Trust has $130.0 million of unsecured medium term revolving credit
facilities with four banks. The facilities, which bear interest at LIBOR plus
85 to 100 basis points, require fees and have covenants requiring a minimum
shareholders' equity and a maximum ratio of debt to net worth. The maximum
drawn under these facilities during the first nine months of 1995 was $66.8
million. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 was 7.0%. At September 30, 1995 there was $35.9
million drawn under these facilities.

In January 1995 the Trust paid a $1.1 million note that had been issued in
connection with the purchase of Queen Anne Plaza in December 1994. In
connection with the buyout of a tenant at Queen Anne Plaza in January 1995, the
Trust issued a noninterest bearing note payable of $2.2 million, due in annual
installments of $200,000 for 11 years. Using an interest rate of 8 7/8%, the
note has been recorded at its discounted value of $1.7 million.

On September 12, 1995 in connection with a lease transaction at Barracks
Road Shopping Center the Trust issued a $2.5 million non-interest bearing note
which is due November 13, 1995.

NOTE G - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

During the first nine months of 1995, 19,244 shares were issued at prices
ranging from $15.00 per share to $20.875 per share as the result of the exercise
of stock options. The Trust accepted notes from certain of its employees of
$36,000 in connection with the issuance of certain of these shares.

In September 1995 the terms of loans issued to officers and employees of
the Trust in connection with the exercise of stock options were modified. These
loans, which previously had a five year term, may now have a term extending to
the employee's or officer's retirement date. Consequently these loans are now
being classified as a component of stockholder's equity rather than as an asset.
The 1994 balances of notes receivable-officers

12
and subscriptions receivable have been reclassified to allow comparability.

On February 15, 1995, 719,000 stock options at $20.75 per share were
granted to employees of the Trust. On May 10, 1995, the eight trustees of the
Trust other than the president were each awarded options to purchase 2,500
shares at $22 per share.

As stated in Note C, 337,527 shares valued at $7.3 million were issued in
September 1995 as partial consideration for the purchase of Bristol Shopping
Center.

NOTE H - INTEREST EXPENSE

The Trust incurred interest expense totaling $29.5 million during the first
nine months of 1995 and $23.7 million during the first nine months of 1994, of
which $672,000 and $190,000, respectively, were capitalized. Interest paid was
$23.8 million in the first nine months of 1995 and $31.3 million in the first
nine months of 1994.

NOTE I - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The State of New Jersey Division of Taxation has assessed the Trust
$364,000 in taxes, penalty and interest for the years 1985 through 1990, since
the State has disallowed the dividends paid deduction in computing New Jersey
taxable income. The Trust has protested this assessment since the Trust
believes that it is entitled to the deduction. In a case involving another real
estate investment trust, the New Jersey tax court ruled that the dividends paid
deduction was allowable and this decision was upheld by the Appellate Court.

As previously reported, certain of the Trust's shopping centers have
some environmental contamination. The North Carolina Department of the
Environment, Health and Natural Resources ("DEHNR") issued a Notice of Violation
("NOV") against a former drycleaner tenant at Eastgate Shopping Center in Chapel
Hill, North Carolina concerning a spill at the shopping center. As owner of
the shopping center, the Trust was named in and received a copy of the NOV.
Estimates to remediate the spill range from $300,000 to $500,000. The Trust has
entered into an agreement with two previous owners of the shopping center to
share the costs to assess and remediate. In 1993 the Trust recorded a liability
of $120,000 as its estimated share of the clean up costs.

In 1992 contaminants at levels in excess of New Jersey cleanup standards
were identified at a shopping center in New Jersey. The Trust has retained an
environmental consultant to investigate the contamination. The Trust is also
evaluating whether it has insurance coverage for this matter. At this time,

13
the Trust is unable to determine what the range of remediation costs might be.
The Trust has also identified chlorinated solvent contamination at another
property. The contamination appears to be linked to the current and/or previous
dry cleaner. The Trust intends to look to the responsible parties for any
remediation effort. Evaluation of this situation is preliminary and it is
impossible to estimate the range of remediation costs, if any.

On September 22, 1995 the Trust purchased the Bristol Shopping Center in
Bristol, Connecticut. Pursuant to an agreement executed at closing, the Trust
agreed to perform all remedial measures necessary to obtain a final letter of
compliance from the Connecticut Commissioner of Environmental Protection with
respect to certain identified soil and ground water contamination associated
with a former dry cleaning operation. The seller established an escrow account
at closing of $187,500 to cover such remedial measures and has indemnified the
Trust in connection with the identified contamination.

The Trust reserved $2.25 million at closing in 1993 for environmental
issues principally associated with Gaithersburg Square Shopping Center.
Pursuant to an indemnity agreement entered into with the seller at closing, the
Trust agreed to take certain actions with respect to identified chlorinated
solvent contamination. The seller indemnified the Trust for certain third party
claims and government requirements related to contamination at adjacent
properties. During the third quarter of 1995 the reserve was reduced by
$269,000 with a corresponding decrease in the basis of land at one shopping
center since the environmental issue there was resolved.

At September 30, 1995 in connection with certain redevelopment projects and
tenant work, the Trust is contractually obligated on contracts of approximately
$3.3 million. At September 30, 1995 the Trust is also contractually obligated
under leases with tenants to provide approximately $10.6 million for
improvements.

Pursuant to the provisions of the respective partnership agreements, in the
event of exercise of put options by the other partners, the Trust would be
required to purchase the 99% limited partnership interest at Loehmann's Plaza at
its then fair market value and a 22.5% interest at Congressional Plaza at its
then fair market value.

FEDERAL REALTY INVESTMENT TRUST
FORM 10-Q
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Federal Realty meets its liquidity requirements through net cash provided
by operating activities, long term borrowing through debt offerings and
mortgages, medium and short term borrowing under revolving credit facilities,
and equity offerings. Because all or a significant portion of the Trust's net
cash provided by operating activities is distributed to shareholders, capital
outlays for property acquisitions, renovation projects and debt repayments
require funding from borrowing or equity offerings.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased from $30.6 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1994 to $47.3 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995. The major sources of the increase were an increase of
$3.5 million in net income in 1995 over 1994, an increase of $4.1 million in
depreciation and amortization in 1995 over 1994, and a $10.1 million increase in
cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities in 1995 over 1994.
Dividends paid for the period in 1994 were $32.2 million versus 1995's $35.5
million.

In 1995 net cash provided by operating activities of $47.3 million is
comprised primarily of $17.8 million of net income increased by $25.8 million of
depreciation and amortization and $3.3 million of cash provided by changes in
operating assets and liabilities. In 1994 net cash provided by operating
activities of $30.6 million was comprised primarily of $14.3 million of net
income increased by $21.7 million of depreciation and amortization which was
offset by $6.8 million use of cash for operating assets and liabilities.

During the first nine months of 1995 the Trust purchased $42.9 million of
street retail properties, i.e. retail buildings in densely developed urban and
suburban areas. The Trust also purchased two shopping centers, the 302,000
square foot Finley Square Shopping Center in Downers Grove, Illinois for $18.8
million in April 1995 and the 250,000 square foot Bristol Shopping Center in
Bristol, Connecticut for $19.6 million in September 1995. In addition, in June
1995 the Trust purchased a newly constructed 12,400 square foot building,
contiguous to its Bethesda Row property for $2.0 million in cash and in
September 1995 the Trust purchased a building abutting its Flourtown Shopping
Center for $3.1 million. During the first nine months of 1995 the Trust spent
$26.0 million on improvements to its properties and

16
tenant work; these improvements included: (1) $2.8 million on Congressional
Plaza which redevelopment is in the final phases; (2) $1.7 million to buy out a
below market lease at Queen Anne Plaza; (3) $4.1 million on Gaithersburg Square
which is currently being expanded, redeveloped and retenanted; and (4) $2.8
million on the renovation of Brick Plaza. These acquisitons and renovations were
funded primarily by cash, the assumption of a $11.3 million mortgage on Bristol
Shopping Center and the issuance of 337,527 shares of common stock valued at
$7.3 million in connection with the purchase of Bristol.

On January 19, 1995 the Trust issued $100.0 million of 8 7/8% Notes, due
January 15, 2000, netting proceeds of approximately $98.9 million. The proceeds
from this issuance were used to repay a $22.5 million mortgage, to repay $66.8
million which was outstanding on its revolving credit facilities and to
partially fund the first quarter property acquisitions and improvements.

On April 21, 1995 the Trust issued $25 million of senior notes due 2002,
netting approximately $24.9 million, the proceeds of which were used to repay
amounts which had been borrowed on the revolving credit facilities during April
to fund acquisitions and property renovations.

The Trust has available $130.0 million of unsecured medium-term revolving
credit facilities with four banks. The facilities, which require fees and have
covenants requiring a minimum shareholders' equity and a maximum ratio of debt
to net worth, are used to fund acquisitions and other cash requirements until
conditions are favorable for issuing equity or long-term debt. At September 30,
1995 there was $35.9 million drawn under these facilities. The maximum amount
borrowed under these facilities during the first nine months of 1995 was $66.8
million. Amounts advanced under these facilities bear interest at LIBOR plus 85
- - 100 basis points; the weighted average interest rate on borrowings during the
first nine months of 1995 was 7.0%.

The Trust is committed under leases for approximately $10.6 million in
building improvement and tenant work. In addition the Trust has budgeted
approximately $24 million for the remainder of 1995 and early 1996 for
improvements to its properties, including the completion of renovations of
Congressional Plaza, Brick Plaza and Gaithersburg Square. Furthermore, the Trust
is actively seeking to acquire shopping centers in its core major metropolitan
markets and to acquire retail buildings in densely developed urban and suburban
areas. The Trust is also continuing to study site acquisitions in its core
markets to permit the Trust to develop shopping centers. These expenditures will
be funded with the revolving credit facilities pending their permanent financing
with either equity or debt.

17
On August 1, 1995 the Trust sold North City Plaza in New Castle,
Pennsylvania for $1.8 million, resulting in a loss on sale of $545,000.

The Trust believes that the amounts available under its revolving credit
facilities provide it with the liquidity needed for its short-term renovation
and acquisition plans. The Trust believes that the unencumbered value of its
properties and its access to the capital markets, as demonstrated by its past
success in raising capital, give it the ability to raise the capital, both debt
and equity, needed to fund its long-term capital and debt repayment needs.

CONTINGENCIES

The State of New Jersey Division of Taxation has assessed the Trust
$364,000 in taxes, penalty and interest for the years 1985 through 1990, since
the State has disallowed the dividends paid deduction in computing New Jersey
taxable income. The Trust has protested this assessment since the Trust
believes that it is entitled to the deduction. In a case involving another real
estate investment trust, the New Jersey tax court ruled that the dividends paid
deduction was allowable and this decision was upheld by the Appellate Court.

As previously reported, certain of the Trust's shopping centers have some
environmental contamination. The North Carolina Department of the Environment,
Health and Natural Resources ("DEHNR") issued a Notice of Violation ("NOV")
against a drycleaner tenant at Eastgate Shopping Center in Chapel Hill, North
Carolina concerning a spill at the shopping center. As owner of the shopping
center, the Trust was named in and received a copy of the NOV. Estimates to
remediate the spill range from $300,000 to $500,000. The Trust has entered into
an agreement with two previous owners of the shopping center to share the costs
to assess and remediate. In 1993 the Trust recorded a liability of $120,000 as
its estimated share of the clean up costs.

In 1992 contaminants at levels in excess of New Jersey cleanup standards
were identified at a shopping center in New Jersey. The Trust has retained an
environmental consultant to investigate the contamination. The Trust is also
evaluating whether it has insurance coverage for this matter. At this time, the
Trust is unable to determine what the range of remediation costs might be. The
Trust had also previously identified chlorinated solvent contamination at
another property. The contamination appears to be linked to the current and/or
previous dry cleaner. The Trust intends to look to the responsible parties for
any remediation effort. Evaluation of this situation is preliminary and it is
impossible to estimate the range of remediation costs, if any.

18
On September 22, 1995 the Trust purchased the Bristol Shopping Center in
Bristol, Connecticut. Pursuant to an agreement executed at closing, the Trust
agreed to perform all remedial measures necessary to obtain a final letter of
compliance from the Connecticut Commissioner of Environmental Protection with
respect to certain identified soil and ground water contamination associated
with a former dry cleaning operation. The seller established an escrow account
at closing of $187,500 to cover such remedial measures and has indemnified the
Trust in connection with the identified contamination.

The Trust reserved $2.25 million at closing in 1993 for environmental
issues principally associated with Gaithersburg Square Shopping Center.
Pursuant to an indemnity agreement entered into with the seller at closing, the
Trust agreed to take certain actions with respect to identified chlorinated
solvent contamination. The seller indemnified the Trust against certain third
party claims and government requirements related to contamination at adjacent
properties. During the third quarter of 1995 the reserve was reduced by
$269,000 with a corresponding reduction in the basis of land at one shopping
center since the environmental issue there was resolved.

Pursuant to the provisions of the respective partnership agreements, in the
event of the exercise of put options by the other partners, the Trust would be
required to purchase the 99% limited partnership interest at Loehmann's Plaza at
its then fair market value and a 22.5% interest at Congressional Plaza at its
then fair market value.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1994

The Trust has historically reported its funds from operations in addition
to its net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Funds from
operations is a supplemental measure of real estate companies' operating
performance which excludes historical cost depreciation, since real estate
values have historically risen and fallen with market conditions rather than
over time. Funds from operations was defined as income before depreciation and
amortization and extraordinary items less gains on sale of real estate. The
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") has recently
issued a white paper, which has amended the definition as follows: income
before depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and before
extraordinary items and significant non-recurring events less gains on sale of
real estate. The Trust is complying with this new definition and has
consequently restated funds from operations for prior periods. Funds from
operations does not replace net income as a measure of performance or net cash
provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Rather, funds from
operations has been adopted to provide a

19
consistent measure of operating performance in the industry.

The reconciliation of net income to funds from operations for the nine
months ended September 30 is as follows:

<TABLE>

Net income $17,744 $14,255

loss on sale and nonrecurring
items 545 758
------- -------

Funds from operations $42,974 $36,146
======= =======
</TABLE>

Funds from operations increased 19% to $43.0 million in the first nine
months of 1995 from $36.1 million in the first nine months of 1994.

Rental income, which consists of minimum rent, percentage rent and cost
recoveries, increased 11% from $94.2 million in the first nine months of 1994 to
$104.6 million in the first nine months of 1995. If rental income is adjusted
to remove the effect of properties purchased in 1994 and 1995, it increased 4%.
Forty-four percent of the increase is from Congressional Plaza, which was
renovated and retenanted in 1994. Ellisburg Circle, whose redevelopment was
completed in 1994, contributed an additional 17% of the increase.

Minimum rent increased 13% from $73.8 million in the first nine months of
1994 to $83.5 million in the first nine months of 1995. If properties purchased
in 1994 and 1995 are excluded, minimum rent increased $4.6 million or 6.4%. A
major component of this increase is contributions from recently renovated
centers and from the retenanting of some anchor spaces. Cost recoveries, if
adjusted to remove the effect of 1995 and 1994 acquisitions, are down slightly,
primarily due to the decrease in snow removal expense and thus the related
recovery in 1995 as compared to 1994.

Other income which includes items which tend to fluctuate from period to
period, such as utility reimbursements, telephone income, merchant association
dues, lease termination fees, late fees and temporary tenant income, has
increased from $4.1 million in 1994 to $5.3 million in 1995 due principally to a
commission on telephone services, to lease termination fees and to an unexpected
recovery from a bankrupt tenant.

20
Rental expenses have decreased from $27.2 million in the first nine months
of 1994 to $25.1 million in the first nine months of 1995, despite the
acquisition of new properties in 1994 and 1995. The major decrease is in snow
removal expense, but there was also a significant decrease in bad debt expense.
Real estate tax expense has increased because of the new properties and because
of increased assessments at several centers.

Interest expense has increased from $23.5 million during the first nine
months of 1994 to $28.8 million during the comparable period of 1995. Interest
expense on the $125 million of senior notes issued January and April 1995
exceeds the interest saved due to the redemption in April 1994 of $39.8 million
of the convertible subordinated debentures due 2002. The ratio of earnings to
fixed charges was 1.58x for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1.57x
for the comparable period in 1994. The ratio of funds from operations to fixed
charges was 2.39x and 2.44x for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
1994, respectively.

During the third quarter of 1994 the Trust wrote off a mortgage note
receivable and accrued interest on the note, totalling $758,000. The note had
been issued in 1982 in connection with the sale by the Trust of a shopping
center.

Depreciation and amortization expense has increased because of the recent
acquisitions and because of depreciation on tenant work and recent property
improvements.

On August 1, 1995 the Trust sold North City Plaza for $1.8 million
resulting in a loss on sale of $545,000.

As a result of the foregoing items, primarily the increases in minimum rent
and other income and the decreases in rental expense, net income rose from $14.3
million in the first nine months of 1994 to $17.7 million in the first nine
months of 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1994

Funds from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 increased
10% to $14.4 million as compared to $13.1 million in the third quarter of 1994.

Rental income, which consists of minimum rent, percentage rent and cost
recoveries, increased 11% from $32.2 million in the third quarter of 1994 to
$35.9 million in the third quarter of 1995. If rental income is adjusted to
remove the effect of properties purchased in 1994 and 1995, it increased 3.8%.
Fifty-three percent of this increase is from Congressional Plaza, which was
renovated and retenanted in 1994. Ellisburg Circle, whose redevelopment was
completed in 1994, contributed an additional

21
23% of the increase.

Minimum rent increased 11% from $25.5 million in the third quarter of 1994 to
$28.4 million in the third quarter of 1995. If properties purchased in 1994 and
1995 are excluded, minimum rent increased 4.3%. A major component of this
increase is contributions from recently renovated centers and from the
retenanting of some spaces. Cost recoveries in the third quarter of 1995 have
increased over the third quarter 1994 recoveries due to the 1994 and 1995
property acquisitions.

Other income has increased from $1.5 million in the third quarter of 1994
to $1.9 million in the third quarter of 1995. The largest components of the
increase were lease termination fees and bad debt recovery from a bankrupt
tenant.

Rental expenses have decreased, despite the acquisition of new properties,
from the third quarter of 1994 to the third quarter of 1995 due to decreases in
bad debt, property payroll and shopping center maintenance costs. Real estate
tax expense has increased because of the new acquisitions and because of
increased assessments at several centers.

Interest expense has increased from $7.7 million in the third quarter of
1994 to $10.1 million during the comparable period of 1995, due to interest on
the $125 million of senior notes issued in 1995.

General and administrative expenses are up $402,000 in the third quarter of
1995 as compared to the same quarter of 1994, primarily because of costs related
to the Trust's unsuccessful efforts to transact a business combination.

Depreciation and amortization expense has increased from the third quarter
of 1994 to the third quarter of 1995 because of the recent acquisitions and
because of depreciation on tenant work and recent property improvements.

On August 1, 1995 the Trust sold North City Shopping Center for a loss of
$545,000. Of this loss, $535,000 was recorded during the second quarter of
1995.

Net income for the third quarter of 1995 was $5.9 million, compared to
1994's $5.0 million, as a result of the foregoing items.
