Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2010

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business and Organization

Federal Realty Investment Trust (the “Trust”) is an equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in the ownership, management, and redevelopment of retail and mixed-use properties. Our properties are located primarily in densely populated and affluent communities in strategically selected metropolitan markets in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the United States, as well as in California. As of March 31, 2010, we owned or had a majority interest in community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties which are operated as 84 predominantly retail real estate projects.

We operate in a manner intended to enable us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. A REIT that distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders each year and meets certain other conditions is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. Therefore, federal income taxes on our taxable income have been and are generally expected to be immaterial. We are obligated to pay state taxes, generally consisting of franchise or gross receipts taxes in certain states. Such state taxes also have not been material.

Basis of Presentation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Trust, its corporate subsidiaries, and all entities in which the Trust has a controlling interest or has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The equity interests of other investors are reflected as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. We account for our interests in joint ventures, which we do not control or manage, using the equity method of accounting. Certain 2009 amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, referred 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, current and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows—Supplemental Disclosures

The following table provides supplemental disclosures related to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

	(In thousands)
SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES:

Cash paid for interest, net of amounts capitalized	$	32,620		$	24,033

Cash (received) paid for income taxes	$	(28	)	$	25

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard which provides certain changes to the evaluation of a VIE including requiring a qualitative rather than quantitative analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE, continuous assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and enhanced disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement with a VIE. Under the new standard, the primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

We adopted the standard effective January 1, 2010. The adoption did not have a material impact to our financial statements. The newly required balance sheet disclosures regarding assets and liabilities of a consolidated VIE have been parenthetically included in

Federal Realty Investment Trust

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

March 31, 2010

(Unaudited)

our balance sheet. These parenthetical amounts relate to Melville Mall in Huntington, New York and a shopping center and adjacent commercial building in Norwalk, Connecticut, which is further discussed in Note 3 below.

Although the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our financial statements, this standard could impact future consolidation of entities based on the specific facts and circumstances of those entities.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the FASB issued an amendment eliminating the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, which was effective upon issuance of the amendment. Consequently, this disclosure is no longer included in the notes to our financial statements.

NOTE 2—REAL ESTATE

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we had no acquisitions or dispositions.

NOTE 3—MORTGAGE NOTES RECEIVABLE

On March 30, 2010, we acquired the first mortgage loan on a shopping center located in Norwalk, Connecticut. The first mortgage loan has an outstanding principal balance of $10.9 million, bears interest at 7.25% and matures on September 1, 2032. Since November 5, 2008, we have held the second mortgage on this shopping center and a first mortgage on an adjacent commercial building which has an outstanding balance of $7.4 million at March 31, 2010. All of these loans are currently in default and foreclosure proceedings have been filed. If we foreclose on the properties, we believe the fair value of the properties approximates our carrying amount of these loans which are on non-accrual status.

As the loans are in default, we have certain participating rights under the first mortgage loan agreement. Therefore, while we are not currently exercising those rights and do not expect to exercise certain of those rights, the loan agreement gives us the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the shopping center resulting in the entity being a VIE. Additionally, given our investment in both the first and second mortgage on the property, the overall decline in fair market value since the loans were initiated, and the current default status of the loans, we also have the obligation to absorb losses or rights to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Consequently, we have determined we are the primary beneficiary of this VIE and consolidated the shopping center and adjacent building as of March 30, 2010. Therefore, our investment in the property is included in “real estate” in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010.

NOTE 4—REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIP

We have a joint venture arrangement (“the Partnership”) with affiliates of a discretionary fund created and advised by ING Clarion Partners (“Clarion”). We own 30% of the equity in the Partnership and Clarion owns 70%. We hold a general partnership interest, however, Clarion also holds a general partnership interest and has substantive participating rights. We cannot make significant decisions without Clarion’s approval. Accordingly, we account for our interest in the Partnership using the equity method. As of March 31, 2010, the Partnership owned seven retail real estate properties. We are the manager of the Partnership and its properties, earning fees for acquisitions, dispositions, management, leasing, and financing. Intercompany profit generated from fees is eliminated in consolidation. We also have the opportunity to receive performance-based earnings through our Partnership interest. The Partnership is subject to a buy-sell provision which is customary for real estate joint venture agreements and the industry. Either partner may initiate these provisions at any time, which could result in either the sale of our interest or the use of available cash or borrowings to acquire Clarion’s interest.

The following tables provide summarized operating results and the financial position of the Partnership:

NOTE 5—DEBT

On January 28, 2010, we delivered notice exercising our option to extend the maturity date by one year to July 27, 2011 of our revolving credit facility, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 42.5 basis points. We paid an extension fee of $0.5 million which is being amortized over the remaining term of the revolving credit facility.

On March 1, 2010, we issued $150.0 million of fixed rate senior notes that mature on April 1, 2020 and bear interest at 5.90%. The net proceeds from this note offering after issuance discounts, underwriting fees and other costs were $148.5 million.

On various dates from February 25, 2010 to March 2, 2010, we repaid the remaining $250.0 million balance of our term loan. The term loan had an original maturity date of July 27, 2011, however, the loan agreement included an option to prepay the loan, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty. Due to these repayments, approximately $2.8 million of unamortized debt fees were recorded as additional interest expense in 2010 and are included in “early extinguishment of debt” in the consolidated statement of operations. The term loan was repaid using cash on hand and cash from the $150.0 million note issuance.

As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2010, there was no balance outstanding on our revolving credit facility.

Our revolving credit facility and certain notes require us to comply with various financial covenants, including the maintenance of minimum shareholders’ equity and debt coverage ratios and a maximum ratio of debt to net worth. As of March 31, 2010, we were in compliance with all loan covenants.

NOTE 6—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Except as disclosed below, the carrying amount of our financial instruments approximates their fair value. The fair value of our mortgages payable, notes payable, and senior notes and debentures is sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. Quoted market prices were used to estimate the fair value of our marketable senior notes and debentures and discounted cash flow analysis is generally used to estimate the fair value of our mortgages and notes payable. Considerable judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments. A summary of the carrying amount and fair value of our mortgages payable, notes payable and senior notes and debentures is as follows:


	March 31, 2010
	Carrying Value		Fair Value
	(In thousands)
Mortgages and notes payable	$	548,823	$	581,121
Senior notes and debentures	$	1,079,906	$	1,127,679

NOTE 7—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are currently a party to various legal proceedings. Other than as described below, we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or overall trends in results of operations; however, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Also 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.

In May 2003, a breach of contract action was filed against us in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose Division, alleging that a one page document entitled “Final Proposal” constituted a ground lease of a parcel of property located adjacent to our Santana Row property and gave the plaintiff the option to require that we acquire the property at a price determined in accordance with a formula included in the “Final Proposal.” The “Final Proposal” explicitly stated that it was subject to approval of the terms and conditions of a formal agreement. A trial as to liability only was held in June 2006 and a jury rendered a verdict against us.

A trial on the issue of damages was held in April 2008 and the court issued a tentative ruling in April 2009 awarding damages to the plaintiff of approximately $14.4 million plus interest. Accordingly, considering all the information available to us when we filed our March 31, 2009 Form 10-Q, our best estimate of damages, interest, and other costs was $21.4 million resulting in an increase in our accrual for this matter of $20.6 million. In June 2009, the court issued a final judgment awarding damages of $15.9 million (including interest) plus costs of suit and in July 2009, we and the plaintiff both filed a notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In December 2009, the plaintiff filed an “appellee’s principal and response brief” providing additional information regarding the issues the plaintiff is appealing. Given the additional information regarding the appeal, we lowered our accrual to $16.4 million in the fourth quarter 2009, which reflects our best estimate of the litigation liability. The net increase in our accrual in 2009 is included in “litigation provision” in our consolidated statement of operations, and the $16.4 million accrual is included in the “accounts payable and accrued expenses” line item in our consolidated balance sheets. During 2009 and 2010, we incurred additional legal and other costs related to this lawsuit and appeal process which are also included in the “litigation provision” line item in the consolidated statement of operations.

We expect oral arguments on the appeal to be scheduled for later in 2010. The enforcement of the judgment has been stayed until completion of the appeals. Furthermore, we continue to believe that the “Final Proposal” which included express language that it was subject to formal documentation was not a binding contract and that we should have no liability whatsoever, and will vigorously defend our position as part of the appeal process.

Under the terms of certain partnership agreements, the partners have the right to exchange their operating partnership units for cash or the same number of our common shares, at our option. A total of 371,260 operating partnership units are outstanding which have a total fair value of $27.0 million, based on our closing stock price on March 31, 2010.

NOTE 11—EARNINGS PER SHARE

We have calculated earnings per share (“EPS”) under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation methodology whereby EPS for each class of common stock and participating securities is calculated according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we had approximately 0.2 million weighted average unvested shares outstanding which are considered participating securities. Therefore, we have allocated our earnings for basic and diluted EPS between common shares and unvested shares; the portion of earnings allocated to the unvested shares is reflected as “earnings allocated to unvested shares” in the reconciliation below.

In the dilutive EPS calculation, dilutive stock options were calculated using the treasury stock method consistent with prior periods; certain stock options have been excluded as they were anti-dilutive. The conversions of downREIT operating partnership units and Series 1 Preferred Shares are anti-dilutive for all periods presented and accordingly, have been excluded from the weighted average common shares used to compute diluted EPS.

NOTE 12—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In September 2008, we and a subsidiary of Post Properties, Inc. (“Post”) sued Vornado Realty Trust and related entities (“Vornado”) for breach of contract in the Circuit Court of Arlington County, Virginia. The breach of contract was a result of Vornado’s acquiring in transactions in 2005 and 2007 the fee interest in the land under our Pentagon Row project without first giving us and Post the opportunity to purchase the fee interest in that land as required by the right of first offer (“ROFO”) provisions included in the documentation relating to the Pentagon Row project. On April 30, 2010, the judge in this case issued a ruling that Vornado failed to comply with the ROFO and as a result, breached the contract, and ordering Vornado to sell to us and Post, collectively, the land under Pentagon Row for the remaining net purchase price of approximately $14.7 million. Based on indications from Vornado, we anticipate that Vornado will appeal.

Overview

We are an equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in the ownership, management, and redevelopment of high quality retail and mixed-use properties located primarily in densely populated and affluent communities in strategically selected metropolitan markets in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States, as well as in California. As of March 31, 2010, we owned or had a majority interest in community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties which are operated as 84 predominantly retail real estate projects comprising approximately 18.2 million square feet. In total, the real estate projects were 94.1% leased and 93.5% occupied at March 31, 2010. A joint venture in which we own a 30% interest owned seven retail real estate projects totaling approximately 1.0 million square feet as of March 31, 2010. In total, the joint venture properties in which we own an interest were 84.2% leased and occupied at March 31, 2010.

2010 Significant Debt, Equity and Other Transactions

Outlook

We seek growth in earnings, funds from operations, and cash flows primarily through a combination of the following:

•

growth in our portfolio from property redevelopments,

•

expansion of our portfolio through property acquisitions, and

•

growth in our same-center portfolio.

Our properties are located in densely populated and affluent areas with high barriers to entry which allow us to take advantage of redevelopment opportunities that enhance our operating performance through renovation, expansion, reconfiguration, and/or retenanting. We evaluate our properties on an ongoing basis to identify these types of opportunities and believe that the decrease in occupancy we have experienced beginning in 2008 as a result of the economic recession will provide future redevelopment opportunities that may not have otherwise been available. In 2010 and 2011, we expect to have redevelopment projects stabilizing with projected costs of approximately $28 million and $57 million, respectively.

Additionally, we continue to invest in the development at Assembly Square which is a long-term development project we expect to be involved in over the coming years. The project currently has zoning entitlements to build 2.3 million square feet of commercial-use buildings, 2,100 residential units, and a 200 room hotel. We expect that we will structure any future development in a manner designed to mitigate our risk which may include transfers of entitlements or co-developing with other real estate companies. Continuing in 2010, we will be completing certain infrastructure work as well as continuing our current predevelopment work. We expect to receive approximately $10 million of public funding in 2010 related to the infrastructure work we have completed and we expect the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will complete certain additional infrastructure work using government stimulus funds. We expect to invest between $10 million and $30 million related to the development in 2010, net of expected public funding.

We continue to review acquisition opportunities in our primary markets that complement our portfolio and provide long-term opportunities. Generally, our acquisitions do not initially contribute significantly to earnings growth; however, they provide long-term re-leasing growth, redevelopment opportunities, and other strategic opportunities. Any growth from acquisitions is contingent on our ability to find properties that meet our qualitative standards at prices that meet our financial hurdles. Changes in interest rates may affect our success in achieving earnings growth through acquisitions by affecting both the price that must be paid to acquire a property, as well as our ability to economically finance the property acquisition. Generally, our acquisitions are initially financed by available cash and/or borrowings under our revolving credit facility which may be repaid later with funds raised through the issuance of new equity or new long-term debt. On occasion we also finance our acquisitions through the issuance of common shares, preferred shares, or downREIT units as well as through the assumption or creation of mortgages.

Our same-center growth is primarily driven by increases in rental rates on new leases and lease renewals and changes in portfolio occupancy. Over the long-term, the infill nature and strong demographics of our properties provide a strategic advantage allowing us to maintain relatively high occupancy and increase rental rates. The current economic environment may, however, impact our ability to increase rental rates in the short-term and may require us to decrease some rental rates. This will have a long-term impact over the contractual term of the lease agreement, which on average is between five and ten years. We expect to continue to see small changes in occupancy over the short term and expect increases in occupancy to be a driver of our same-center growth over the long term as we are able to re-lease these vacant spaces. We seek to maintain a mix of strong national, regional, and local retailers. At March 31, 2010, no single tenant accounted for more than 2.6% of annualized base rent.

The current downturn in the economy has impacted the success of our tenants’ retail operations and therefore the amount of rent and expense reimbursements we receive from our tenants. We have seen tenants experiencing declining sales, vacating early, or filing for bankruptcy, as well as seeking rent relief from us as landlord. Any reduction in our tenants’ abilities to pay base rent, percentage rent or other charges, will adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Further, our ability to re-lease vacant spaces may be negatively impacted by the current economic environment. While we believe the locations of our centers and diverse tenant base should mitigate the negative impact of the economic environment, we may continue to see an increase in vacancy that will have a negative impact on our revenue and bad debt expense. We continue to monitor our tenants’ operating performances as well as trends in the retail industry to evaluate any future impact.

At March 31, 2010, the leasable square feet in our properties was 93.5% occupied and 94.1% leased. The leased rate is higher than the occupied rate due to leased spaces that are being redeveloped or improved or that are awaiting permits and, therefore, are not yet ready to be occupied. Our occupancy and leased rates are subject to variability over time due to factors including acquisitions, the timing of the start and stabilization of our redevelopment projects, lease expirations and tenant bankruptcies.

Same-Center

Throughout this section, we have provided certain information on a “same-center” basis. Information provided on a same-center basis includes the results of properties that we owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared except for properties for which significant redevelopment or expansion occurred during either of the periods being compared and properties classified as discontinued operations.

Property Revenues

Total property revenue increased $7.4 million, or 5.6%, to $138.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $131.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009. The percentage occupied at our shopping centers increased slightly to 93.5% at March 31, 2010 compared to 93.4% at March 31, 2009. Changes in the components of property revenue are discussed below.

Rental Income

Rental income consists primarily of minimum rent, cost reimbursements from tenants and percentage rent. Rental income increased $4.3 million, or 3.4%, to $131.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $127.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 due primarily to the following:

•

an increase of $3.7 million at same-center properties due primarily to increased cost reimbursements as a result of higher snow removal costs, increased temporary tenant income, and higher rental rates on new and renewal leases, and

•

an increase of $0.6 million at redevelopment properties due primarily to increased cost reimbursements, increased occupancy and increased rental rates on new leases.

Other Property Income

Other property income increased $3.3 million, or 127.1%, to $5.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $2.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009. Included in other property income are items which, although recurring, tend to

fluctuate more than rental income from period to period, such as lease termination fees. This increase is primarily due to an increase in lease termination fees at redevelopment and same-center properties.

Property Expenses

Total property expenses increased $2.6 million, or 6.1%, to $45.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $42.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009. Changes in the components of property expenses are discussed below.

Rental Expenses

Rental expenses increased $1.3 million, or 4.6%, to $30.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $28.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase is due primarily to an increase of $2.8 million in snow removal costs partially offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in bad debt expense at same-center properties.

As a result of the changes in rental income, other property income and rental expenses as discussed above, rental expenses as a percentage of rental income plus other property income decreased to 21.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 22.1% in the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Real Estate Taxes

Real estate tax expense increased $1.3 million, or 9.2%, to $15.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $13.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 due primarily to higher tax assessments at same-center and redevelopment properties.

Property Operating Income

Property operating income increased $4.8 million, or 5.4%, to $93.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $88.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase is due to growth in earnings at redevelopment and same-center properties.

Other

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $2.4 million, or 10.1%, to $26.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $23.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009. This increase is due primarily to an increase of $2.5 million due to a higher overall weighted average borrowing rate partially offset by an increase of $0.2 million in capitalized interest.

Gross interest costs were $27.5 million and $25.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Capitalized interest was $1.5 million and $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Early Extinguishment of Debt

The $2.8 million early extinguishment of debt expense in the three months ended March 31, 2010 is due to the write-off of unamortized debt fees related to the $250.0 million payoff of the term loan prior to its maturity date.

Litigation Provision

The $0.1 million litigation provision in the three months ended March 31, 2010 is due to certain costs related to the litigation and appeal process over a parcel of land located adjacent to Santana Row. The $20.6 million litigation provision in the three months ended March 31, 2009 relates to increasing the accrual for such litigation matter. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for further discussion on the litigation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Due to the nature of our business and strategy, we typically generate significant amounts of cash from operations. The cash generated from operations is primarily paid to our common and preferred shareholders in the form of dividends. As a REIT, we must generally make annual distributions to shareholders of at least 90% of our taxable income.

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of normal recurring operating expenses, obligations under our capital and operating leases, regular debt service requirements (including debt service relating to additional or replacement debt, as well as scheduled debt maturities), recurring expenditures, non-recurring expenditures (such as tenant improvements and redevelopments) and dividends to common and preferred shareholders. Our long-term capital requirements consist primarily of maturities under our long-term debt agreements, development and redevelopment costs and potential acquisitions.

We intend to operate with and maintain a conservative capital structure that will allow us to maintain strong debt service coverage and fixed-charge coverage ratios as part of our commitment to investment-grade debt ratings. In the short and long term, we may seek to obtain funds through the issuance of additional equity, unsecured and/or secured debt financings, joint venture relationships relating to existing properties or new acquisitions, and property dispositions that are consistent with this conservative structure. In March 2010, we took advantage of lower long-term interest rates and issued $150 million of 10-year senior notes at a 5.90% interest rate. Using funds from the senior note offering as well as cash on hand, we repaid the outstanding $250 million balance on our term loan in advance of it maturing in July 2011. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $112.8 million to $22.6 million at March 31, 2010 due to the debt transactions discussed above; however, cash and cash equivalents are not a good indicator of our liquidity. We have a $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility that matures July 27, 2011, of which we had no outstanding balance at March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2010, we also have no scheduled debt maturities until 2011. We currently believe that cash flows from operations, cash on hand, our revolving credit facility, and proceeds from additional capital transactions will be sufficient to finance our operations and fund our capital expenditures.

Our overall capital requirements during the remainder of 2010 will depend upon acquisition opportunities, the level of improvements and redevelopments of existing properties and the timing and cost of development of future phases of existing properties. While the amount of future expenditures will depend on numerous factors, we expect to invest similar levels of capital expenditures in 2010 compared to prior periods which will be funded on a short-term basis with cash flow from operations and/or the revolving credit facility, and on a long-term basis, with long-term debt or equity. If market conditions deteriorate, we may also delay the timing of certain development and redevelopment projects as well as limit future acquisitions, or re-evaluate our dividend policy.

In addition to conditions in the capital markets which could affect our ability to access those markets, the following factors could affect our ability to meet our liquidity requirements:

•

restrictions in our debt instruments or preferred shares may limit us from incurring debt or issuing equity at all, or on acceptable terms 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.

Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of year		135,389			15,223

Cash and cash equivalents, end of period	$	22,594		$	22,460

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $14.6 million to $58.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $72.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to timing of interest payments on our senior notes and term loan as a result of changes in the debt outstanding in 2009 and 2010, higher unbilled accounts receivable as a result of significant increases in snow removal costs in 2010, and timing of payments related to operating expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $5.7 million to $25.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $30.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to:

•

$18.1 million decrease in capital expenditures,

partially offset by

•

$10.5 million acquisition of a first mortgage loan in March 2010, and

•

$1.3 million increase in leasing costs.

Net cash used in financing activities increased $111.1 million to $145.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $34.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to:

•

$250 million payoff of our term loan in 2010, and

•

$17.5 million decrease in net borrowings on our revolving credit facility as there was no outstanding balance in 2010,

partially offset by

•

$148.6 million issuance of 5.90% senior notes in March 2010, and

•

$6.1 million decrease in repayment of senior notes as a portion of our 8.75% senior notes due December 1, 2009, were repaid in the first quarter 2009.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have a joint venture arrangement (“the Partnership”) with affiliates of a discretionary fund created and advised by ING Clarion Partners (“Clarion”). We own 30% of the equity in the Partnership and Clarion owns 70%. We hold a general partnership interest, however, Clarion also holds a general partnership interest and has substantive participating rights. We cannot make significant decisions without Clarion’s approval. Accordingly, we account for our interest in the Partnership using the equity method. As of March 31, 2010, the Partnership owned seven retail real estate properties. We are the manager of the Partnership and its properties, earning fees for acquisitions, management, leasing and financing. We also have the opportunity to receive performance-based earnings through our Partnership interest. The Partnership is subject to a buy-sell provision which is customary in real estate joint venture agreements and the industry. Either partner may initiate these provisions at any time, which could result in either the sale of our interest or the use of available cash or borrowings to acquire Clarion’s interest. At March 31, 2010, the Partnership had approximately $57.7 million of mortgages payable outstanding; our investment in the Partnership was $35.5 million.

1)	Mortgages payable do not include our 30% share ($17.3 million) of the $57.7 million debt of the partnership with a discretionary fund created and advised by ING Clarion Partners.

2)	The interest rate of 6.04% represents the weighted average interest rate for two mortgage loans secured by this property. The loan balance represents an interest only loan of $4.4 million at a stated rate of 6.18% and the remaining balance at a stated rate of 5.96%.

We acquired control of Melville Mall through a 20-year master lease and secondary financing. Because we control the activities that most significantly impact this property and retain substantially all of the economic benefit and risk associated with it, this property is consolidated and the mortgage loan is reflected on the balance sheet, though it is not our legal obligation.

4)	The interest rate is fixed at 5.66% for the first ten years and then will be reset to a market rate in 2013. The lender has the option to call the loan on April 15, 2013 or any time thereafter.

5)	No amounts were outstanding under our revolving credit facility during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

6)	The bonds require monthly interest only payments through maturity. The bonds bear interest at a variable rate determined weekly, which would enable the bonds to be remarketed at 100% of their principal amount. The property is not encumbered by a lien.

Our revolving credit facility and other debt agreements include financial and other covenants that may limit our operating activities in the future. As of March 31, 2010, we were in compliance with all of the financial and other covenants. If we were to breach any of our debt covenants and did not cure the breach within an 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 revolving 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 default 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. Our organizational documents do not limit the level or amount of debt that we may incur.

The following is a summary of our scheduled principal repayments as of March 31, 2010:


	Unsecured			Secured		Capital Lease		Total
	(In thousands)
Remainder of 2010	$	817		$	7,387	$	991	$	9,195

	$	1,090,894		$	537,562	$	61,958	$	1,690,414	(2)

1)	Our $300 million four-year revolving credit facility matures on July 27, 2011. As of March 31, 2010, there was $0 drawn under this credit facility.

2)	The total debt maturities differs from the total reported on the consolidated balance sheet due to the unamortized net premium or discount on certain mortgage loans, senior notes and debentures as of March 31, 2010.

Interest Rate Hedging

We had no hedging instruments outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2010. We may use derivative instruments to manage exposure to variable interest rate risk. We generally enter into interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to variable interest rate risk and treasury locks to manage the risk of interest rates rising prior to the issuance of debt. We enter into derivative instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges and do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Funds From Operations

Funds from operations (“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: net income, computed in accordance with the U.S. GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and excluding extraordinary items and gains and losses on the sale of real estate. We compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, and we have historically reported our FFO available for common shareholders in addition to our net income and net cash provided by operating activities. It should be noted that 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 fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends.

We consider FFO available for common shareholders a meaningful, additional measure of operating performance primarily because it excludes the assumption that the value of the real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as implied by the historical cost convention of GAAP and the recording of depreciation. We use FFO primarily as one of several means of assessing our operating performance in comparison with other REITs. 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 available for common shareholders 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 at least 90% of our taxable income to remain qualified as a REIT. Therefore, a significant increase in FFO will generally require an increase in distributions to shareholders although not necessarily on a proportionate basis.

Included below is a reconciliation of net income to FFO available for common shareholders as well as FFO available to common shareholders excluding the litigation provision. As further discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, net income for 2010 includes certain charges related to the litigation and appeal process over a parcel of land adjacent to Santana Row and 2009 includes a $20.6 million charge for increasing the accrual for such litigation matter. Management believes FFO excluding this litigation provision provides a more meaningful evaluation of operations; while litigation is not unusual, we believe the premise of the underlying litigation matter (see Note 7 for discussion) warrants presentation of FFO excluding the related charges.

Funds from operations available for common shareholders excluding litigation provision, per diluted share	$	0.94		$	0.99

(1)

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the weighted average common shares used to compute FFO per diluted common share includes operating partnership units that were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS. Conversion of these operating partnership units is dilutive in the computation of FFO per diluted common share for the three months ended March 31, 2010, but is anti-dilutive for the computation of FFO per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as well as anti-dilutive for the computation of diluted EPS for the periods presented.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our use of financial instruments, such as debt instruments, subjects 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.

As of March 31, 2010, we were not party to any open derivative financial instruments. We may enter into certain types of derivative financial instruments to further reduce interest rate risk. We use interest rate protection and swap agreements, for example, to convert some of our variable rate debt to a fixed-rate basis or to hedge anticipated financing transactions. We use derivatives for hedging purposes rather than speculation and do not enter into financial instruments for trading purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

The following discusses the effect of hypothetical changes in market rates of interest on interest expense for our variable rate debt and on the fair value of our total outstanding debt, including our fixed-rate debt. Interest rate risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our debt. Quoted market prices were used to estimate the fair value of our marketable senior notes and debentures and discounted cash flow analysis is generally used to estimate the fair value of our mortgage and notes payable. Considerable judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. This analysis does not purport to take into account all of the factors that may affect our debt, such as the effect that a changing interest rate environment could have on the overall level of economic activity or the action that our management might take to reduce our exposure to the change. This analysis assumes no change in our financial structure.

Fixed Interest Rate Debt

The majority of our outstanding debt obligations (maturing at various times through 2031 or through 2106 including capital lease obligations) have fixed interest rates which limit the risk of fluctuating interest rates. However, interest rate fluctuations may affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt instruments. At March 31, 2010, we had $1.7 billion of fixed-rate debt outstanding. If market interest rates on our fixed-rate debt instruments at March 31, 2010 had been 1.0% higher, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have decreased by approximately $71.9 million. If market interest rates on our fixed-rate debt instruments at March 31, 2010 had been 1.0% lower, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have increased by approximately $76.6 million.

Variable Interest Rate Debt

Generally, we believe that our primary interest rate risk is due to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt; however, at March 31, 2010, we had only $9.4 million of variable rate debt outstanding which relates to municipal bonds. No balance was outstanding on our revolving credit facility which is currently the only other debt instrument which bears interest at a variable rate. Based upon this amount of variable rate debt and the specific terms, if market interest rates increased 1.0%, our annual interest expense would increase by approximately $0.1 million, and our net income and cash flows for the year would decrease by approximately $0.1 million. Conversely, if market interest rates decreased 1.0%, our annual interest expense would decrease by less than $0.1 million with a corresponding increase in our net income and cash flows for the year.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Periodic Evaluation and Conclusion of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation has been performed, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2010. Based on this evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2010 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarterly period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

determined in accordance with a formula included in the “Final Proposal.” The “Final Proposal” explicitly stated that it was subject to approval of the terms and conditions of a formal agreement. A trial as to liability only was held in June 2006 and a jury rendered a verdict against us.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2010. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

risks that our tenants will not pay rent, may vacate early or may file for bankruptcy or that we may be unable to renew leases or re-let space at favorable rents as leases expire;

•

risks that we may not be able to proceed with or obtain necessary approvals for any redevelopment or renovation project, and that completion of anticipated or ongoing property redevelopment or renovation projects that we do pursue may cost more, take more time to complete or fail to perform as expected;

•

risks that the number of properties we acquire for our own account, and therefore the amount of capital we invest in acquisitions, may be impacted by our real estate partnership;

•

risks normally associated with the real estate industry, including risks that:

•

occupancy levels at our properties and the amount of rent that we receive from our properties may be lower than expected,

•

new acquisitions may fail to perform as expected,

•

competition for acquisitions could result in increased prices for acquisitions,

•

environmental issues may develop at our properties and result in unanticipated costs, and

•

because real estate is illiquid, we may not be able to sell properties when appropriate;

•

risks that our growth will be limited if we cannot obtain additional capital;

•

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 meet existing financial covenants and the limitations imposed on our operations by those covenants, and the possibility of increases in interest rates that would result in increased interest expense; and

•

risks related to our status as a REIT, for federal income tax purposes, such as the existence of 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 of the failure to qualify as a REIT.
