1. Organization, Formation and Structure

Organization

Saul Centers, Inc. ("Saul Centers") was incorporated under the Maryland General Corporation Law on June 10, 1993. Saul Centers operates as a real estate investment trust (a "REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Saul Centers generally will not be subject to federal income tax, provided it annually distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meets certain organizational and other requirements. Saul Centers has made and intends to continue to make regular quarterly distributions to its stockholders. Saul Centers, together with its wholly owned subsidiaries and the limited partnerships of which Saul Centers or one of its subsidiaries is the sole general partner, are referred to collectively as the "Company". B. Francis Saul II serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Saul Centers.

Saul Centers was formed to continue and expand the shopping center business previously owned and conducted by the B.F. Saul Real Estate Investment Trust, the B.F. Saul Company, Chevy Chase Bank, F.S.B. and certain other affiliated entities (collectively, "The Saul Organization"). On August 26, 1993, The Saul Organization transferred to Saul Holdings Limited Partnership, a newly formed Maryland limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), and two newly formed subsidiary limited partnerships (the "Subsidiary Partnerships", and collectively with the Operating Partnership, the "Partnerships"), shopping center and office properties, and the management functions related to the transferred properties. Since its formation, the Company has purchased and developed additional properties. The Company is currently developing Washington Square at Old Town, a 235,000 square foot Class A mixed-use office/retail complex, and Ashburn Village IV, an in-line retail and retail pad expansion to the Company's Ashburn Village I, II & III shopping center. The Company is also redeveloping an under-performing shopping center to an office/business park. As of June 30, 2001, the Company's properties (the "Current Portfolio Properties") consisted of 27 operating shopping center properties and Ashburn Village IV (the "Shopping Centers"), 4 predominantly office operating properties and Washington Square at Old Town (the "Office Properties").

To facilitate the placement of collateralized mortgage debt, the Company established Saul QRS, Inc. and SC Finance Corporation, each of which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Saul Centers. Saul Centers serves as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and of Saul Subsidiary II Limited Partnership, while Saul QRS, Inc. serves as the sole general partner of Saul Subsidiary I Limited Partnership. The remaining limited partnership interests in Saul Subsidiary I Limited Partnership and Saul Subsidiary II Limited Partnership are held by the Operating Partnership as the sole limited partner. Through this structure, the Company owns 100% of the Current Portfolio Properties.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

The Company, which conducts all of its activities through its subsidiaries, the Operating Partnership and Subsidiary Partnerships, engages in the ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition, renovation, expansion, development and financing of community and neighborhood shopping centers and office properties, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region. The Company's long-term objectives are to increase cash flow from operations and to maximize capital appreciation of its real estate.

The Company is the owner and operator of a real estate portfolio of 33 properties totaling approximately 6,100,000 square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA") located primarily in the Washington, D.C./Baltimore metropolitan area. The portfolio is composed of 28 neighborhood and community Shopping Centers and 5 primarily Office Properties, totaling 4,926,000 and 1,202,000 square feet of GLA, respectively. Only the United States Government (12.3%), a tenant of six properties and Giant Food (6.5%), a tenant of eight Shopping Centers, individually accounted for more than 2.2% of the Company's 2000 total revenues. With the exception of six Shopping Center properties, Washington Square and a portion of one Office Property purchased or developed during the past four years, the Company's Current Portfolio Properties consist of seasoned properties that have been owned and managed by The Saul Organization for 15 years or more. The Company expects to hold its properties as long-term investments, and it has no maximum period for retention of any investment. The Company plans to selectively acquire additional income-producing properties and to expand, renovate, and improve its properties when circumstances warrant.

Principles of Consolidation

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

Real Estate Investment Properties

These financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and accordingly, do not report the current value of the Company's real estate assets. Real estate investment properties are stated at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value less cost to sell. Management believes that these assets have generally appreciated in value and, accordingly, the aggregate current value exceeds their aggregate net book value and also exceeds the value of the Company's liabilities as reported in these financial statements. Real estate investment properties are reviewed for potential impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the

-9-

Saul Centers, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


(Unaudited)

sum of an individual property's undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than its carrying amount, the Company's policy is to recognize an impairment loss measured by the amount the depreciated cost of the property exceeds its fair value. Fair value is calculated as the present value of expected future cash flows.

Interest, real estate taxes and other carrying costs are capitalized on projects under development and construction. Interest expense capitalized during the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, was $961,000 and $1,068,000, respectively. Once construction is substantially completed and the assets are placed in service, their rental income, direct operating expenses and depreciation are included in current operations. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.

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

Accounts Receivable and Accrued Income

Accounts receivable primarily represent amounts currently due from tenants in accordance with the terms of the respective leases. In addition, at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, accounts receivable included $3,816,000 and $3,053,000, respectively, representing minimum rental income accrued on a straight-line basis to be paid by tenants over the terms of the respective leases. Receivables are reviewed monthly and reserves are established when, in the opinion of management, collection of the receivable is doubtful. Accounts receivable in the accompanying financial statements are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $584,000 and $563,000, at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

Deferred Debt Costs

Deferred debt costs consist of financing fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing. These fees and costs are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans or agreements. Deferred debt costs in the accompanying financial statements are shown net of accumulated amortization of $1,675,000 and $1,402,000, at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Rental and interest income is accrued as earned except when doubt exists as to collectibility, in which case the accrual is discontinued. When rental payments due under leases

-10-

Saul Centers, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


(Unaudited)

vary from a straight-line basis because of free rent periods or stepped increases, income is recognized on a straight-line basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Expense recoveries represent a portion of property operating expenses billed to the tenants, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs. Expense recoveries are recognized in the period when the expenses are incurred. Rental income based on a tenant's revenues ("percentage rent") is accrued when a tenant reports sales that exceed a specified breakpoint.

Income Taxes

The Company made an election to be treated, and intends to continue operating so as to qualify as a REIT under the Code, commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 1993. A REIT generally will not be subject to federal income taxation on that portion of its income that qualifies as REIT taxable income to the extent that it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to stockholders and complies with certain other requirements. Therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Per Share Data

Per share data is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." The Company has no dilutive securities; therefore, basic and diluted earnings per share are identical. Net income before minority interests is presented on a fully converted basis, as if the limited partners had exercised their right to convert their partnership ownership into shares of Saul Centers, and is computed using weighted average shares of 19,288,000 and 18,729,000, for the quarters, and 19,208,000 and 18,663,000, for the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Per share data for net income after minority interests is computed using weighted average shares of 14,116,000 and 13,557,000, for the quarters, and 14,036,000 and 13,491,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications have no impact on operating results previously reported.

Minority Interests - Holders of Convertible Limited Partner Units in the Operating Partnership

The Saul Organization has a 26.7% limited partnership interest, represented by 5,172,000 convertible limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership, as of June 30, 2001. These Convertible Limited Partnership Units are convertible into shares of Saul Centers' common stock on a one-for-one basis. The impact of The Saul Organization's 26.7% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership is reflected as minority interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Deferred Compensation and Stock Plan for Directors

Saul Centers has established a Deferred Compensation and Stock Plan for Directors (the "Plan") for the benefit of its directors and their beneficiaries. A director may elect to defer all or part of his or her director's fees and has the option to have the fees paid in cash, in shares of common stock or in a combination of cash and shares of common stock upon termination from the Board. If the director elects to have fees paid in stock, the number of shares allocated to the director is determined by the market price of the common stock on the day the fee is earned. As of June 30, 2001, 170,000 shares were authorized and registered for use under the Plan, and 102,000 shares had been credited to the directors' deferred fee accounts.

Beginning in 1999, pursuant to the Plan, 100 shares of the Company's common stock are awarded annually as additional compensation to each director serving on the Board of Directors as of the record date for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The shares are issued on the date of the Annual Meeting, their issuance may not be deferred and transfer of the shares is restricted for a period of twelve months following the date of issue.

5.   Shareholders' Equity (Deficit) and Minority Interests

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and, accordingly, do not report the current value of the Company's real estate assets. The Shareholders' Equity (Deficit) reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets does not reflect any increase in the value resulting from the difference between the current value and the net book value of the Company's assets. Therefore, Shareholders' Equity (Deficit) reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets does not reflect the market value of stockholders' investment in the Company.

The Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2001 includes a charge for minority interests of $4,034,000 consisting of $3,221,000 related to The Saul Organization's share of the net income for such period and $813,000 related to distributions to minority interests in excess of allocated net income for that period. The charge for the six months ended June 30, 2000 of $4,034,000 consists of $2,968,000 related to The Saul Organization's share of net income for such period, and $1,066,000 related to distributions to minority interests in excess of allocated net income for that period.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, the Company's actual results could differ materially from those given in the forward-looking statements as a result of changes in factors which include among others, the following: general economic and business conditions, which will, among other things, affect demand for retail and office space; demand for retail goods; availability and credit worthiness of the prospective tenants; lease rents and the terms and availability of financing; adverse changes in the real estate markets including, among other things, competition with other companies and technology, risks of real estate development and acquisition, governmental actions and initiatives, debt refinancing risk, conflicts of interests, maintenance of REIT status and environmental/safety requirements.

General

The following discussion is based primarily on the consolidated financial statements of the Company, as of June 30, 2001 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's principal demands for liquidity are expected to be distributions to its stockholders, debt service and loan repayments, expansion, renovation, and redevelopment of the Current Portfolio Properties and selective acquisition and development of additional properties. In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company must distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its "real estate investment trust taxable income," as defined in the Code. The Company anticipates that operating revenues will provide the funds necessary for operations, debt service, distributions, and required recurring capital expenditures. Balloon principal repayments are expected to be funded by refinancings.

Management anticipates that during the current year the Company may: i) redevelop certain of the Shopping Centers, ii) develop additional freestanding outparcels or expansions within certain of the Shopping Centers, iii) acquire existing neighborhood and community shopping centers and/or office properties and iv) develop new shopping center or office sites. Acquisition and development of properties are undertaken only after careful analysis and review, and management's determination that such property is expected to provide long-term earnings and cash flow growth. During the current year, any developments, redevelopments, expansions

-16-

or acquisitions are expected to be funded with bank borrowings from the Company's credit line, construction financing, proceeds from the operation of the Company's dividend reinvestment plan or other external capital resources available to the Company.

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

Management believes that the Company's current capital resources, which include the Company's credit line of which $32,000,000 was available for borrowing as of June 30, 2001, will be sufficient to meet its liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.

Financial Information

For the second quarter of 2001, the Company reported Funds From Operations ("FFO") of $9,635,000. This represents a 14.4% increase over the comparable 2000 period's FFO of $8,419,000. For the six month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company reported FFO of $19,267,000. This represents a 13.3% increase over the comparable 2000 period's FFO of $16,999,000. FFO is presented on a fully converted basis and as the most widely accepted measure of operating performance for REITs is defined as net income before extraordinary items and before real estate depreciation and amortization. The following table represents a reconciliation from net income before minority interests to FFO:

FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, presented on a fully converted basis and the most widely accepted measure of operating performance for real estate investment trusts, is defined as net income before gains or losses from property sales, extraordinary items, and before real estate depreciation and amortization. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, which is disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the applicable periods. There are no material legal or functional restrictions on the use of FFO. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Management considers FFO a supplemental measure of operating performance and along with cash flow from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities, it provides investors with an indication of the ability of the Company to incur and service debt, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs. FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other REITs.

Cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 are as follows:

Capital Strategy and Financing Activity

The Company's capital strategy is to maintain a ratio of total debt to total asset value of approximately 50% or less, and to actively manage the Company's leverage and debt expense on an ongoing basis in order to maintain prudent coverage of fixed charges. Management believes that current total debt remains less than 50% of total asset value.

Outstanding borrowings on the Company's $70,000,000 unsecured credit line totaled $38,000,000 and $43,000,000, leaving credit availability of $32,000,000 and $27,000,000, as of June 30, 2001 and August 1, 2001, respectively. The credit line matures July 18, 2003 and may be extended one additional year, at the Company's option, by paying a 1/4% extension fee.

In 1999, the Company closed a $42,000,000 construction loan, which it anticipates will substantially fund the development costs associated with the 235,000 square foot Washington Square mixed-use office/retail complex, located in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. The loan matures January 2002 and may be extended for two one-year terms at the Company's option with payment of a 1/4% fee and achievement of certain debt service coverage and valuation tests. Interest is paid monthly using the bank's prime rate or LIBOR plus a spread of 1.90%, which will decline upon the achievement of certain leasing benchmarks. At June 30 and August 1, 2001, outstanding borrowings on this construction loan totaled $37,903,000 and $38,342,000, respectively.

At August 1, 2001, the Company had fixed interest rates on approximately 77.0% of its total debt outstanding. The fixed rate debt has a weighted average remaining term of approximately 11 years.

Redevelopment, Renovations and Acquisitions

The Company has been selectively involved in redevelopment, renovation and acquisition activities. It continues to evaluate land parcels for retail and office development and potential acquisitions of operating properties for opportunities to enhance operating income and cash flow growth. The Company also continues to take advantage of redevelopment, renovation and expansion opportunities within the portfolio, as demonstrated by its activities at Washington Square, Ashburn III & IV, French Market and Crosstown Business Center.

During the first half of 2001, the Company continued the development of Washington Square at Old Town, a new Class A mixed-use office/retail complex along North Washington Street in historic Old Town Alexandria in Northern Virginia. The project totals 235,000 square feet of leasable area and is well located on a two-acre site along Alexandria's main street. The project consists of two identical buildings separated by a landscaped brick courtyard. Base building construction has been completed. Work continues on the building tenants' fixturing and interior areas. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had signed leases on 56% of the 235,000 square feet of tenant space: the 45,000 square feet of street level retail space was 88% leased and the 190,000 square feet of office space was 48% leased.

During late 1999, the Company purchased land located within the 1,580 acre community of Ashburn Village in Loudoun County, Virginia, adjacent to its 108,000 square foot Ashburn Village neighborhood shopping center. The land was developed into Ashburn Village II, a 40,200 square foot in-line and pad expansion to the existing shopping center, containing 23,600 square feet of retail space and 16,600 square feet of professional office suites. Ashburn Village II commenced operations during the third quarter of 2000. In August 2000, the Company purchased an additional 7.1 acres of land adjacent to Ashburn Village II for $1,579,000. The Company is completing the development of 4.0 acres of the land known as Ashburn Village III, consisting of a 28,000 square foot in-line and pad expansion to the retail area of the existing shopping center. Construction was substantially completed in May 2001. Tenants are expected to commence operations during August 2001. The remaining 3.1 acres, Ashburn Village VI, provide the Company with the ability to develop up to 40,000 square feet of additional commercial space.

Beginning in 1998, the Company executed a plan to redevelop its 213,000 square foot French Market shopping center, advantageously located in the thriving northwest section of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The plan specified the retenanting of a 103,000 square foot anchor tenant space and conversion of an outdated mini-mall to an anchor tenant use. The former Venture store space was re-demised and leased to Bed Bath and Beyond, Staples, Famous Footwear, BridesMart and Lakeshore Learning. The former enclosed mini-mall was leased to Burlington Coat Factory and during 2000, converted into a two-level 90,000 square foot super store, increasing the center's size to 247,000 square feet. The facade of the center was updated to complement the addition of the new tenants. The Company has recently completed construction of the final phase of the center's redevelopment after it obtained control of 20,000 square feet of space formerly operated as a grocery store. The Company re-demised the space to accommodate nine smaller tenant uses and updated the facade to complement the remainder of the center. As a result of the Company's efforts, approximately 94% of the center was leased as of June 30, 2001.

The conversion and redevelopment of the former Tulsa, Oklahoma shopping center to an office/warehouse facility named Crosstown Business Center continues. Ten tenants have leased 78% of the facility and several other leases are under negotiation. Several tenants currently occupy their spaces while the balance of the new tenants are scheduled to begin operations by late summer 2001.

Portfolio Leasing Status

At June 30, 2001, the portfolio consisted of 28 Shopping Centers and 5 predominantly Office Properties, all of which are located in 7 states and the District of Columbia.

At June 30, 2001, 94.9% of the Company's 5,900,000 square feet of operating leasable space (excluding properties under development, Ashburn Village IV and Washington Square) was leased to tenants, as compared to 92.9% at June 30, 2000. The shopping center portfolio (excluding Ashburn Village IV) was 94.9% leased at June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000. The Office Properties (excluding Washington Square) were 94.8% leased at June 30, 2001 compared to 82.3% as of June 30, 2000. The overall improvement in the 2001 period's leasing percentage compared to the prior year's period resulted primarily from the Company's successful leasing at Crosstown Business Center.

Results of Operations

The following discussion compares the results of the Company for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the notes related thereto. These financial statements include all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented.

-20-

Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2000

Revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 (the "2001 Quarter"), totaled $20,919,000 compared to $18,988,000 for the comparable quarter in 2000 (the "2000 Quarter"), an increase of $1,931,000 (10.2%).

Base rent income was $17,470,000 for the 2001 Quarter, compared to $15,734,000 for the 2000 Quarter, representing an increase of $1,736,000 (11.0%). The increase in base rent resulted primarily from new leases in effect at recently developed and acquired properties: Ashburn Village II, a portion of Washington Square (approximately 100,000 square feet) and Phase VI of Avenel Business Park ("Avenel VI") during the 2001 Quarter.

Expense recoveries were $2,711,000 for the 2001 Quarter compared to $2,545,000 for the comparable 2000 Quarter, representing an increase of $166,000 (6.5%). The increase in expense recoveries resulted primarily from new leases in effect at the recently developed and acquired properties.

Percentage rent was $241,000 in the 2001 Quarter, compared to $261,000 in the 2000 Quarter, a decrease of $20,000 (7.7%). The decline in percentage rent resulted primarily from the departure of a small out-dated grocery store at French Market, which paid percentage rent in the 2000 Quarter but agreed to terminate its occupancy to allow the Company to redevelop and lease the space to several tenants paying increased base rent.

Other income, which primarily consists of parking income, kiosk and temporary leasing, and fees associated with early termination of leases, was $497,000 in the 2001 Quarter, compared to $448,000 in the 2000 Quarter, representing an increase of $49,000 (10.9%). The comparative increase in other income resulted primarily from parking income collected at Washington Square during the 2001 Quarter.

Operating expenses, consisting primarily of repairs and maintenance, utilities, payroll, insurance and other property related expenses, increased $66,000 (3.4%) to $2,026,000 in the 2001 Quarter from $1,960,000 in the 2000 Quarter.

The provision for credit losses increased $24,000 (21.4%) to $136,000 in the 2001 Quarter from $112,000 in the 2000 Quarter. The credit loss increase resulted primarily from additions to credit loss reserves for several shopping center tenants.

Real estate taxes increased $206,000 (13.3%) to $1,759,000 in the 2001 Quarter from $1,553,000 in the 2000 Quarter. The increase in real estate tax expense in the 2001 Quarter resulted primarily from tax expense accrued at Avenel VI acquired October 2000 and recent developments: Washington Square and Ashburn Village III. Real estate tax expense also increased for 601 Pennsylvania Avenue due the property's increased assessed value.

Interest expense increased $326,000 (5.6%) to $6,196,000 for the 2001 Quarter from $5,870,000 reported for the 2000 Quarter. The increase resulted from increased average borrowing balances used to fund the acquisition of Avenel VI and the development of Ashburn Village II and III and the portion of Washington Square placed in service.

-21-

Amortization of deferred debt expense increased $32,000 (30.8%) to $136,000 for the 2001 Quarter compared to $104,000 for the 2000 Quarter. The increase resulted from the amortization of additional loan costs related to the refinancing of the Company's line of credit in July 2000.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $475,000 (14.7%) from $3,236,000 in the 2000 Quarter to $3,711,000 in the 2001 Quarter, reflecting increased depreciation expense on developments and acquisitions placed in service during the past twelve months.

General and administrative expense, which consists of payroll, administrative and other overhead expense, was $1,031,000 for the 2001 Quarter, an increase of $61,000 (6.3%) over the 2000 Quarter. The increase in 2001 expenses compared to 2000 resulted primarily from an increase in payroll expenses.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2000

Revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 (the "2001 Period"), totaled $42,155,000 compared to $38,395,000 for the comparable period in 2000 (the "2000 Period"), an increase of $3,760,000 (9.8%).

Base rent income was $34,755,000 for the 2001 Period, compared to $31,381,000 for the 2000 Period, representing an increase of $3,374,000 (10.8%). The increase in base rent resulted primarily from new leases in effect at recently developed and acquired properties: Ashburn Village II, a portion of Washington Square (approximately 100,000 square feet) and Phase VI of Avenel Business Park ("Avenel VI") during the 2001 Period.

Expense recoveries were $5,511,000 for the 2001 Period compared to $5,367,000 for the comparable 2000 Period, representing an increase of $144,000 (2.7%).

Percentage rent was $853,000 in the 2001 Period, compared to $849,000 in the 2000 Period, an increase of $4,000 (0.5%).

Other income, which primarily consists of parking income, kiosk and temporary leasing, and fees associated with early termination of leases, was $1,036,000 in the 2001 Period, compared to $798,000 in the 2000 Period, representing an increase of $238,000 (29.8%). The comparative increase in other income resulted primarily from proceeds collected from a tenant's bankruptcy estate in excess of the recorded receivable and to a lesser extent, parking income collected at Washington Square during the 2001 Period.

Operating expenses, consisting primarily of repairs and maintenance, utilities, payroll, insurance and other property related expenses, increased $10,000 (0.2%) to $4,226,000 in the 2001 Period from $4,216,000 in the 2000 Period.

The provision for credit losses increased $48,000 (20.6%) to $281,000 in the 2001 Period from $233,000 in the 2000 Period. The credit loss increase resulted primarily from additions to credit loss reserves for several shopping center tenants.

-22-

Real estate taxes increased $362,000 (11.3%) to $3,556,000 in the 2001 Period from $3,194,000 in the 2000 Period. The increase in real estate tax expense in the 2001 Period resulted primarily from tax expense accrued at Avenel VI acquired October 2000 and recent developments: Washington Square, Ashburn Village II and III. Real estate tax expense also increased for 601 Pennsylvania Avenue due the property's increased assessed value.

Interest expense increased $889,000 (7.6%) to $12,547,000 for the 2001 Period from $11,658,000 reported for the 2000 Period. The increase resulted from increased average borrowing balances used to fund the acquisition of Avenel VI and the development of Ashburn Village II and the portion of Washington Square placed in service.

Amortization of deferred debt expense increased $66,000 (31.9%) to $273,000 for the 2001 Period compared to $207,000 for the 2000 Period. The increase resulted from the amortization of additional loan costs related to a new mortgage financing in May 2000 and the refinancing of the Company's line of credit in July 2000.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1,009,000 (16.1%) from $6,283,000 in the 2000 Period to $7,292,000 in the 2001 Period, reflecting increased depreciation expense on developments and acquisitions placed in service during the past twelve months.

General and administrative expense, which consists of payroll, administrative and other overhead expense, was $2,005,000 for the 2001 Period, an increase of $117,000 (6.2%) over the 2000 Period. The increase in 2001 expenses compared to 2000 resulted from a 14% increase in payroll and related expenses.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to certain financial market risks, the most predominant being fluctuations in interest rates. Interest rate fluctuations are monitored by management as an integral part of the Company's overall risk management program, which recognizes the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. The Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Company is exposed to interest rate fluctuations primarily as a result of its variable rate debt used to finance the Company's development and acquisition activities and for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had variable rate indebtedness totaling $75,903,000. Interest rate fluctuations will affect the Company's annual interest expense on its variable rate debt. If the interest rate on the Company's variable rate debt instruments outstanding at June 30, 2001 had been one percent higher, its annual interest expense relating to these debt instruments would have increased by $759,000, based on those balances. Interest rate fluctuations will also affect the fair value of the Company's fixed rate debt instruments. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had fixed rate indebtedness totaling $272,501,000. If interest rates on the Company's fixed rate debt instruments at June 30, 2001 had been one percent higher, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have decreased by approximately $18,100,000.

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF SAUL SUBSIDIARY II LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (this "Second Amendment"), is dated this 13th day of December, 1993, but is effective for all purposes as of August 26, 1993.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Saul Subsidiary II Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was formed as a Maryland limited partnership pursuant to that certain Certificate of Limited Partnership dated June 16, 1993 and filed on June 16, 1993 among the partnership records of the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation, and that certain Agreement of Limited Partnership dated June 16, 1993 (the "Original Agreement");

WHEREAS, the Original Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety by that certain First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership dated as August 26, 1993, as amended by that First Amendment to the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership dated as of August 26, 1993 (as amended, the "Agreement");

WHEREAS, the General Partner desires to clarify, in the definition of "Guaranteed Payment" contained in the Agreement, that the Guaranteed Payment to be paid quarterly on the net invested capital of the Partners is based on a rate of seven percent (7%) per annum (i.e., one and 75/100 percent (1.75%) per quarter), not seven percent (7%) per quarter; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 14.1.B(2) of the Agreement, the General Partner desires to amend the Agreement to correct the definition of Guaranteed Payment as set forth above.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intend legally to be bound, hereby agree as follows:


1. The first sentence of the definition of "Guaranteed Payment" set forth in Article I of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

"Guaranteed Payment" means an amount equal to the product of (x) one and 75/100 percent (1.75%) and (y) the invested capital (as hereinafter defined) as of the last day of a calendar quarter of the Partner to whom a Guaranteed Payment is being made under Section 5.2.

2. Except as the context may otherwise require, any terms used in this Second Amendment which are defined in the Agreement shall have the same meaning for purposes of this Second Amendment as in the Agreement.

3. Except as herein amended, the Agreement is hereby ratified, confirmed and reaffirmed for all purposes and in all respects.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the General Partner has executed this Second Amendment effective for all purposes as of the date first written above.
