                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.



                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. MANAGEMENT STATEMENT AND GENERAL

     The consolidated financial statements of Heritage Property Investment
     Trust, Inc. (Heritage or the Company) contained in this report were
     prepared from the books and records of the Company without audit and in the
     opinion of management include all adjustments (consisting of only normal
     recurring accruals) necessary to present a fair statement of results for
     the interim periods presented. However, amounts presented in the
     consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 are derived from the
     audited financial statements of the Company at that date. Interim results
     are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain
     reclassifications of 2001 amounts have been made to conform to the 2002
     presentation. Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the audited
     consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended
     December 31, 2001, which are included in the registration statement on Form
     S-11, dated April 23, 2002, filed with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 333-69118) for the
     Company's initial public offering of its common stock (the Registration
     Statement).

     The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts
     and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant
     intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
     consolidation.

2. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

     On April 23, 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission simultaneously
     declared effective the Company's registration statement on Form S-11 filed
     under the Securities Act of 1933 and its registration statement on Form
     8-A, filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, for an initial public
     offering (IPO) of its common stock. On April 29, 2002, the Company
     completed its IPO and sold 14,000,000 shares of its common stock in the IPO
     at a price of $25.00 per share.

     The net proceeds from the IPO, after deducting the underwriters' discount
     and offering expenses, were $320.6 million and were used by the Company to
     repay $213.8 million of the outstanding indebtedness under its prior line
     of credit facility, to repay in full the $100.0 million of subordinated
     debt then outstanding, and to pay the $6.8 million fee associated with
     terminating the collar previously in place with respect to the $150.0
     million term loan under the prior line of credit facility.

     In connection with the IPO, all 20,341,767 shares of Series A Cumulative
     Convertible Preferred Stock and redeemable equity outstanding converted
     automatically into shares of the Company's common stock on a one for one
     basis.

     On May 21, 2002, the Underwriters of the IPO exercised their option,
     granted under the terms of an Underwriting Agreement with the Company, to
     purchase an additional 80,556 shares of common stock solely to cover
     overallotments. On May 24, 2002, upon the closing of the sale of the
     over-allotment shares, the Company received additional net proceeds of $1.9
     million from the Underwriters. These additional net proceeds were used to
     repay outstanding indebtedness of the Company.

3. INCOME TAXES

The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT)
under the Internal Revenue Code and believes it is operating so as to qualify as
a REIT. In order to qualify as a REIT for income tax purposes, the Company must,
among other things, distribute to shareholders at least 90% of its taxable
income. It is the Company's policy to distribute 100% of its taxable income to
shareholders; accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.

                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.


4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

     In accordance with SFAS No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, basic earnings per
     common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common
     shareholders (defined as net income less paid and accrued preferred stock
     distributions and accretion of redeemable equity) by the weighted average
     number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per
     share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or
     other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into
     common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock and then shared in
     the earnings of the Company.

     At June 30, 2002, outstanding options and warrants to purchase 2,050,352
     shares of common stock at $25.00 per share and the assumed conversion of
     exchangeable units of limited partnership interest into shares of common
     stock were not included in the computation of diluted loss per common share
     because the impact on basic loss per common share was anti-dilutive.

     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, preferred stock
     distributions, and the effect of the assumed conversion of convertible
     preferred stock and exchangeable units of limited partnership interest
     outstanding into shares of common stock were not included in the
     computation of diluted loss per common share because the impact on basic
     loss per common share was anti-dilutive. At June 30, 2001, outstanding
     options and warrants to purchase 1,293,200 shares of common stock at $25.00
     per share were outstanding but were not included in the computation of
     diluted loss per common share because their exercise price was not below
     the estimated fair value of the common shares and would therefore not
     dilute basic loss per common share.

     (b) 2ND QUARTER ACQUISITION ACTIVITY

     On May 7, 2002, the Company acquired 144,000 square feet of gross leasable
     area at Montgomery Towne Center, a 267,000 square foot grocer-anchored
     shopping center located in Alabama. On May 31, 2002, the Company completed
     the acquisition of an additional 32,000 square feet at Montgomery Towne
     Center. The combined purchase prices for these transactions was $18.7
     million and was funded with a combination of the Company's assumption of an
     $7.9 million mortgage loan payable and borrowings under the Company's new
     line of credit facility.

     On May 17, 2002, the Company acquired four shopping centers (the "Pioneer
     Properties"), located in Michigan, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New
     York, with an aggregate of 1,114,000 square feet of company-owned gross
     leasable area. The purchase price for this transaction was approximately
     $78.1 million and was funded with a combination of the issuance of units of
     limited

                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.


     partnership interest in the Bradley Operating Limited Partnership, a
     subsidiary of the Company, in the amount of $7.9 million, the Company's
     assumption of $55.1 million of mortgage loans payable, and borrowings under
     the Company's new line of credit facility.

     On May 21, 2002, the Company acquired Marketplace at Independence, a
     grocer-anchored shopping center located in Missouri, with an aggregate of
     242,000 square feet of total and company-owned gross leaseable area. The
     purchase price for this transaction was $20.1 million and was funded with
     borrowings under the Company's new line of credit facility.

     (c) REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS HELD FOR SALE

     As of June 30, 2002, 11 single-tenant properties were classified as real
     estate investments held for sale. Such properties had an aggregate net book
     value of $1.7 million at June 30, 2002. See Note 11 for further discussion
     of real estate held for sale.

6. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES

     At June 30, 2002, the Company had an ownership interest in a joint venture
     which owned a grocer-anchored shopping center located in Tennessee. The
     Company has a 60% interest in the joint venture consisting of a general
     partnership interest and consolidates this joint venture for financial
     reporting purposes.

     In addition, in November 1999, the Company and its largest stockholder,
     NETT, entered into a joint venture for the acquisition and development of a
     365,000 square foot commercial office tower in Boston, Massachusetts. The
     Company has a 6% interest in the joint venture and accounts for its
     interest using the cost method. The Company was issued this interest as
     part of a management arrangement the Company entered into with the joint
     venture partners. Under this arrangement, through a subsidiary of the
     Company, the Company is providing management services to the joint venture,
     for which the Company is entitled to receive 6% of all cash and capital
     transaction proceeds received by the joint venture. The Company has no
     ongoing capital contribution requirements with respect to the development
     of the office tower, which is expected to be completed in October 2002.

7. DEBT

     (a) NEW LINE OF CREDIT

     On April 29, 2002, the Company entered into a $350 million unsecured line
     of credit with a group of lenders and Fleet National Bank, as agent. This
     new line of credit replaced the Company's prior $425 million senior
     unsecured credit facility, which was repaid primarily with proceeds of the
     IPO. Heritage Property Investment Limited Partnership and Bradley Operating
     Limited Partnership (Bradley OP), subsidiaries of Heritage, are the
     borrowers under this new line of credit, and Heritage and substantially all
     of Heritage's other subsidiaries have guaranteed this new line of credit.
     This new line of credit is being used principally to fund growth
     opportunities and for working capital purposes. At June 30, 2002, $210
     million was outstanding under the new line of credit.

     This new line of credit bears interest at a floating rate based on a spread
     over LIBOR ranging from 80 basis points to 135 basis points, depending upon
     the Company's debt rating, and requires monthly payments of interest. The
     variable rate in effect at June 30, 2002, including the lender's margin of
     135 basis points, was 3.29%. In addition, this new line of credit has a
     facility fee based on the amount committed ranging from 15 basis points to
     25 basis points, depending upon the Company's debt rating, and requires
     quarterly payments.


                                       8

                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.


     This new line of credit requires the Company to maintain certain financial
     ratios and restricts the incurrence of certain indebtedness and the making
     of certain investments. This new line of credit also, except under some
     circumstances, including as necessary to maintain the Company's status as a
     REIT, limits the Company's ability to make distributions in excess of 90%
     of annual funds from operations.

     Upon entering into this new line of credit and repayment of the prior
     senior unsecured credit facility, the Company wrote off unamortized
     deferred financing costs and recognized an extraordinary loss of $4.2
     million on this transaction. Also, as described in note 9, the Company
     terminated its interest rate collar.

     (b) SUBORDINATED DEBT

     The Company used $100.0 million of the net proceeds from the IPO to repay
     in full the $100.0 million of subordinated debt outstanding that was
     scheduled to mature on March 18, 2004. In connection with the full
     repayment, the Company wrote off unamortized deferred financing costs and
     recognized an extraordinary loss of $2.5 million.

     (c) MORTGAGE LOANS PAYABLE

     In April 2002, the Company signed a commitment to refinance its $7.7
     million mortgage loan payable secured by Southport Center, which loan
     matured in April 2002. The refinancing of the mortgage loan payable closed
     on July 1, 2002. The new mortgage loan is in the amount of $10.0 million,
     bears interest at a rate of 6.94%, and matures on July 1, 2007. The new
     mortgage loan will require interest only payments for the first two years.

     In April 2002, the Company repaid in full its approximately $4.8 million
     mortgage loan payable secured by Fox River Plaza with borrowings under the
     Company's line of credit facility. In addition, in May 2002, the Company
     repaid in full its approximately $6.4 million mortgage loan payable secured
     by Edgewood Shopping Center with borrowings under the Company's new line of
     credit facility.

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     (a) TRANSACTIONS WITH PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA (PRUDENTIAL -
         AN 11.9% SHAREHOLDER AT JUNE 30, 2002)

     Preferred and common distributions paid to Prudential for the six months
     ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were $6.6 million and $4.2 million,
     respectively. At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, distributions payable
     to Prudential were $2.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

     Prudential received advisory and other fees totaling $3.4 million in
     connection with the IPO. This fee was incurred in the three months ended
     June 30, 2002.

     On April 30, 2001, in conjunction with the modification of its now repaid
     $100.0 million subordinated debt, the Company used the proceeds of a $50.0
     million loan from a lender to repay the $50.0 million of subordinated debt
     held by Prudential. Interest expense paid to Prudential for this issue for
     the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $2.0 million.

     A portion of redeemable equity, representing costs associated with prior
     equity transactions with Prudential, is reclassified as a charge to
     earnings for each quarter over the redemption period. As a result of the
     IPO, all redeemable equity outstanding converted automatically into shares
     of the Company's common stock on a one for one basis. This charge, which is
     recorded as accretion of redeemable equity in the accompanying consolidated
     statements of income, amounted to $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the six
     months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.


     (b) TRANSACTIONS WITH NEW ENGLAND TEAMSTERS AND TRUCKING INDUSTRY PENSION
         FUND (NETT - AN 43.4% SHAREHOLDER AT JUNE 30, 2002)

     Preferred and common distributions paid to NETT for the six months ended
     June 30, 2002 and 2001 were approximately $28.9 million and $18.5 million,
     respectively. At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, distributions payable
     to NETT were approximately $9.3 million and $9.8 million, respectively.

     In connection with the formation of Heritage in July 1999, environmental
     studies were not completed for all of the contributed properties. NETT has
     agreed to indemnify the Company for environmental costs up to $50.0
     million. The environmental costs include completing environmental studies
     and any required remediation.

9. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING INSTRUMENTS

     The Company is exposed to the effect of changes in interest rates. The
     Company has limited this risk by following established risk management
     policies and procedures including the use of derivatives.

     From time to time, the Company uses interest rate caps, floors, swaps and
     locks to limit its exposure to changes in interest rates on its floating
     rate debt and to hedge interest rates in anticipation of issuing unsecured
     debt at a time when management believes interest rates are favorable, or at
     least at a time when management believes it advisable given the anticipated
     consequences of not hedging an interest rate while the Company is exposed
     to increases in interest rates. The Company requires that hedging
     derivative instruments are effective in reducing the interest rate risk
     exposure that they are designed to hedge. Instruments that meet the hedging
     criteria are formally designated as hedges at the inception of the
     derivative contract. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or
     speculative purposes and only enters into contracts with major financial
     institutions based on their credit rating and other factors. To determine
     the fair values of its derivative instruments, the Company uses methods and
     assumptions based on market conditions and risks existing at each balance
     sheet date. Such methods incorporate standard market conventions and
     techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models
     to determine fair value. All methods of estimating fair value result in
     general approximation of value, and such value may or may not actually be
     realized.

     On April 29, 2002, the Company entered into a $350.0 million unsecured line
     of credit with a group of lenders and Fleet National Bank, as agent. This
     new line of credit replaced the Company's prior $425.0 million senior
     unsecured credit facility. Upon entering into this new line of credit, the
     Company paid $6.8 million to terminate the interest rate collar that was
     then in place with respect to the $150.0 million term loan under the prior
     senior unsecured credit facility. As a result of this termination, the
     Company reclassified $7.6 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss,
     a component of shareholders' equity, to earnings during the three months
     ended June 30, 2002.

10. SEGMENT REPORTING

     The Company, which has internal property management, leasing, and
     redevelopment capabilities, owns and seeks to acquire primarily
     grocer-anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers in the Eastern
     and Midwestern United States. Such shopping centers are typically anchored
     by grocers complemented with stores providing a wide range of other goods
     and services to shoppers. Since substantially all of the Company's shopping
     centers exhibit similar economic characteristics, cater to the day-to-day
     living needs of their respective surrounding communities, and offer similar
     degrees of risk and opportunities for growth, the shopping centers have
     been aggregated and reported as one operating segment. The Company also
     owns office buildings and single-tenant properties. Because these
     properties require a different operating strategy



                                       10

                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.


     and management expertise than all other properties in the portfolio, they
     are considered separate reportable segments.

     The Company assesses and measures operating results on an individual
     property basis within each segment, based on net operating income, and then
     converts such amounts in the aggregate to a performance measure referred to
     as Funds From Operations (FFO).

     FFO, computed in accordance with the October 1999 "White Paper" on FFO
     published by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
     (NAREIT) and as followed by the Company, represents income before
     allocation to minority interests (computed in accordance with GAAP),
     excluding gains or losses from debt restructuring and sales of property,
     plus depreciation and amortization of real estate-related assets, and, as
     applicable, after preferred stock distributions and adjustments for
     unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO does not represent cash
     generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not
     be considered an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Since
     the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, the
     computation of FFO may vary from one REIT to another. FFO is not
     necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

     The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those followed by
     the Company as a whole and are described in the Company's audited
     consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001
     included in the Registration Statement. The revenue and net operating
     income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and
     assets as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 for each of the reportable
     segments are summarized in the following tables. Non-segment assets
     necessary to reconcile to total assets include cash and cash equivalents,
     deferred financing and leasing costs and other assets.

11. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     SFAS NO. 145

     In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
     145, RESCISSION OF FASB STATEMENTS NO. 4, 44 AND 64, AMENDMENT OF FASB
     STATEMENT NO. 13, AND TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS. SFAS No. 145 eliminates the
     requirement that all gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt be
     aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item. However,
     a company could continue to classify transactions as extraordinary items if
     they meet the criteria described in paragraph 20 of APB No. 30, REPORTING
     THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - REPORTING THE EFFECTS OF DISPOSAL OF A SEGMENT
     OF A BUSINESS, AND EXTRAORDINARY, UNUSUAL AND INFREQUENTLY OCCURRING EVENTS
     AND TRANSACTIONS. Paragraph 20 of APB 30 requires that the event or
     transaction be both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence.

     SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002.
     However, any gain or loss on extinguishment of debt that was classified as
     an extraordinary item in prior periods presented that does not meet the
     criteria of APB 30 shall be reclassified. The Company has elected to adopt
     SFAS No. 145 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2003, and therefore
     has classified its losses associated with its prepayment of its prior
     senior unsecured credit facility and subordinated debt during the three
     months ended June 30, 2002 as an extraordinary item.

     SFAS NO. 144

     In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
     144, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS, which
     supersedes both SFAS No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED
     ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF, and the accounting and
     reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, REPORTING THE RESULTS OF
     OPERATIONS--REPORTING THE EFFECTS OF DISPOSAL OF A SEGMENT OF BUSINESS, AND
     EXTRAORDINARY, UNUSUAL, AND INFREQUENTLY OCCURRING EVENTS AND TRANSACTIONS,
     for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that
     Opinion). SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions in SFAS No. 121
     for recognizing and measuring impairment losses on long-lived assets held
     for use and long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, while also
     resolving implementation issues associated with SFAS No. 121. In addition,
     SFAS No. 144 retains the basic provisions of Opinion 30 for presenting
     discontinued operations in the income statement but broadens that
     presentation to include a component of an entity (rather than a segment of
     a business).

     The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The Company had one
     property disposition during the six months ended June 30, 2002 that was
     classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2001. As the property was
     classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2001, it was exempt from the
     provisions of SFAS No. 144. In addition, the Company has classified 11
     single-tenant properties as real estate held for sale as June 30, 2002.
     Accordingly, the operating results of the real estate held for sale have
     been reclassified and reported as discontinued operations for the three and
     six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

12. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

     In January 2002, options to purchase 614,352 shares of common stock were
     granted to certain employees relating to 2001 performance. The options have
     an exercise price of $25.00 per share, which was equal to the fair value
     per share of the Company's common stock at the grant date. The options have
     a contractual life of 10 years and, at the date of grant, were to vest
     ratably over three years. In addition, in April 2002, options to purchase
     430,000 shares of common stock were granted to members of senior management
     in connection with the Company's initial public offering. These options
     have an exercise price of $25.00 per share, which was equal to the fair
     value per share of the Company's common stock at the grant date. The
     options have a contractual life of 10 years and vest ratably over five
     years.

                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.




     In January 2002, the Company issued 108,565 shares of restricted stock with
     no performance-based conditions and no exercise price to certain employees
     relating to 2001 performance. At the date of issuance, these shares were
     subject to transfer restrictions and risk of forfeiture.

     Upon completion of the Company's initial public offering, the vesting of
     all stock options previously granted to employees (other than the 430,000
     options granted in April 2002) accelerated and all contractual restrictions
     on transfer and forfeiture provisions that existed on restricted shares
     previously granted to members of our senior management and other key
     employees terminated. As a result, the Company incurred compensation
     expense, including with respect to the reimbursement of a portion of the
     taxes paid by two employees, of $6.8 million on the restricted shares in
     the second quarter of 2002, which is comprised of $4.3 million of stock
     compensation expense and $2.5 million for the reimbursement of a portion of
     such taxes.

     In July 2002, following completion of the IPO, the Board of Directors
     approved the issuance over five years of an aggregate of 775,000 shares of
     restricted stock with no exercise price to members of senior management of
     the Company. The first installment of 155,000 shares was issued in July
     2002. These shares are subject to risk of forfeiture and transfer
     restrictions, which terminate on March 1, 2003, subject to the continued
     employment of such individuals with the Company. The remaining installments
     of this special share grant will be issued to these individuals ratably
     over a four-year period beginning in 2003, subject to the satisfaction of
     certain performance milestones and other conditions during the four-year
     period. Upon issuance, the remaining installments will also be subject to
     risk of forfeiture and transfer restrictions, which will terminate upon the
     first anniversary of the date of each installment, subject to the continued
     employment of such individuals with the Company. The Company will recognize
     compensation expense over the service and vesting periods.

     With respect to the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company has also
     accrued $0.5 million of compensation expense, including for the
     reimbursement of a portion of the taxes to be paid by one employee, related
     to restricted stock anticipated to be issued by the Company in 2003 for
     2002 performance. This accrual is an estimate of the compensation expense
     that will be required to be recognized in the event that this restricted
     stock is actually issued. For all periods after the IPO, the Company will
     recognize compensation expense with respect to performance-based stock
     grants ratably over the performance and vesting periods. The Company has
     not restated any prior period amounts because it does not believe that such
     restatement would be material to the financial condition or results of
     operations of the Company.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

     CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE

     Some of the statements contained in MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
     FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF Operations constitute forward-looking
     statements. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs,
     projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and
     similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. The
     forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events
     and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in
     circumstances that may cause our actual results to differ significantly
     from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. You should not rely
     on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks,
     uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the
     Company's control and which could materially affect actual results. The
     factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current
     expectations include financial performance and operations of our shopping
     centers, including of our tenants, real estate conditions, future
     bankruptcies of our tenants, execution of shopping center redevelopment
     programs, our ability to finance our operations, successful completion of
     renovations, completion of pending acquisitions, the availability of
     additional acquisitions, changes in economic, business, competitive market
     and regulatory conditions, acts of terrorism or war and other risks
     detailed from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission, including those risks and uncertainties discussed in the
     Company's Final Prospectus, dated April 23, 2002, in the section entitled
     "Risk Factors." The forward-looking statements contained herein represent
     the Company's judgment as of the date of this report, and the Company
     cautions readers not to place undue reliance on such statements.

     OVERVIEW

     We are a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT that
     acquires, owns, manages, leases and redevelops primarily grocer-anchored
     neighborhood and community shopping centers in the Eastern and Midwestern
     United States. As of June 30, 2002, we had a portfolio of 149 shopping
     centers totaling approximately 29.6 million square feet of total gross
     leaseable, of which 25.4 million square feet is company-owned gross
     leasable area, located in 26 states. Our shopping center portfolio was
     approximately 93% leased as of June 30, 2002. We also own four office
     buildings and 11 single-tenant properties. We currently intend to dispose
     of one of our remaining four office buildings and substantially all of our
     single-tenant properties in the foreseeable future. As our net operating
     income from these properties constituted only approximately 1% of our total
     net operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2002, we do not
     expect the sale of these properties to have a significant or adverse impact
     on our future operations or cash flows.

     As of June 30, 2002, we had approximately $952 million of indebtedness.
     This indebtedness will require balloon payments starting in November 2002.
     We anticipate that we will not have sufficient funds on hand to repay these
     balloon amounts at maturity. Therefore, we expect to refinance our debt
     either through unsecured private or public debt offerings, additional debt
     financings secured by individual properties or groups of properties or by
     additional equity offerings. We may also finance those payments through
     borrowings under our new line of credit facility.

     We derive substantially all of our revenues from rentals and recoveries
     received from tenants under existing leases on each of our properties. Our
     operating results therefore depend materially on the ability of our tenants
     to make required rental payments. We believe that the nature of the
     properties that we primarily own and invest in - grocer-anchored
     neighborhood and community shopping centers - provides a more stable
     revenue flow in uncertain economic times, as they are more resistant to
     economic down cycles. This is because consumers still need to purchase food
     and other goods found at grocers, even in difficult economic times.

                                       15

                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.

     During 2001, 15 of our tenants filed for bankruptcy protection. These
     tenants contributed approximately 2.7% of our annualized base rent for all
     leases in which tenants were in occupancy at December 31, 2001. In
     addition, during 2002, three of our tenants have filed for bankruptcy
     protection, the largest of which is Kmart Corporation. Kmart Corporation
     contributed approximately 1.5% of our annualized base rent for all leases
     in which tenants were in occupancy at June 30, 2002. As a general matter,
     the Company believes that these bankruptcy filings and the current economic
     downturn have not had a material impact on our operating results. However,
     continuation of the current downturn or a recession could materially
     negatively impact our operating results in 2002.

     In the future, we intend to focus on increasing our internal growth, and we
     expect to continue to pursue targeted acquisitions of primarily
     grocer-anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers in attractive
     markets with strong economic and demographic characteristics. We currently
     expect to incur additional debt in connection with any future acquisitions
     of real estate.

     INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     On April 23, 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission simultaneously
     declared effective our registration statement on Form S-11 filed under the
     Securities Act of 1933 and our registration statement on Form 8-A, filed
     under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for an initial public offering
     (IPO) of our common stock, and on April 29, 2002, we completed our IPO. We
     sold 14,000,000 shares of our common stock in the IPO at a price of $25.00
     per share.

     The net proceeds from our IPO, after deducting the underwriters' discount
     and offering expenses, were approximately $321 million. The net proceeds
     from our IPO were used for the following:

          o To repay approximately $214 million of the outstanding indebtedness
            under our prior senior unsecured credit facility;

          o To fully repay the $100 million of subordinated debt outstanding;

          o To pay the approximately $7 million fee associated with terminating
            the hedge then in place with respect to the $150 million term loan
            under prior existing senior unsecured credit facility.

     In connection with our IPO, all 20,341,767 shares of Series A Cumulative
     Convertible Preferred Stock and redeemable equity outstanding converted
     automatically into shares of the Company's common stock on a one for one
     basis.

     On May 21, 2002, the Underwriters of the IPO exercised their option,
     granted under the terms of an Underwriting Agreement with the Company, to
     purchase an additional 80,556 shares of common stock from the Company
     solely to cover overallotments. On May 24, 2002, upon the closing of the
     sale of the over-allotment shares, the Company received additional net
     proceeds of approximately $1.9 million from the Underwriters. These
     additional net proceeds were used to repay outstanding indebtedness of the
     Company.

     Upon completion of the IPO, the vesting of all stock options previously
     granted to our employees (other than 430,000 stock options granted in April
     2002 in connection with the IPO) accelerated and all contractual
     restrictions on transfer and forfeiture provisions that existed on
     restricted shares previously granted to members of our senior management
     and other key employees terminated. As a result, we incurred compensation
     expense, including with respect to the reimbursement of a portion of the
     taxes paid by two individuals, of $6.8 million on the restricted shares in
     the second quarter of 2002, which is comprised of $4.3 million of stock
     compensation expense and $2.5 million for the reimbursement of a portion of
     such taxes payable.

                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.

     CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     In response to recent guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
     we have identified the following critical accounting policies that affect
     our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our
     consolidated financial statements. The preparation of our consolidated
     financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
     accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and
     judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
     revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and
     liabilities. Our estimates are based on information that is currently
     available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe are
     reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our
     estimates based upon historical experience and various other factors and
     circumstances. We believe that our estimates are reasonable for our current
     circumstances; however, actual results could vary from those estimates and
     those estimates could be different under different assumptions or
     conditions.

     We believe that the estimates and judgments that are most important to the
     portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, in that
     they require our most subjective judgments, form the basis for the
     accounting policies deemed to be most critical. These critical accounting
     policies include those related to revenue recognition and the allowance for
     doubtful accounts receivable, real estate investments and asset impairment,
     and derivatives used to hedge interest-rate risks. We state these
     accounting policies in the notes to our consolidated financial statements
     and at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis. Our estimates are
     based on information that is currently available to us and on various other
     assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Rental income with scheduled rent increases is recognized using the
     straight-line method over the term of the leases. Deferred rent receivable
     represents the aggregate excess of rental revenue recognized on a
     straight-line basis over cash received under applicable lease provisions,
     which we generally recognize over the remaining term unless the tenant
     files for bankruptcy or provides other indications that it will not fulfill
     the remainder of the lease term. In these cases, we write off the remaining
     deferred balance upon such bankruptcy filing or other event. Leases for
     both retail and office space generally contain provisions under which the
     tenants reimburse us for a portion of property operating expenses and real
     estate taxes incurred by us. In addition, certain of our operating leases
     for retail space contain contingent rent provisions under which tenants are
     required to pay a percentage of their sales in excess of a specified amount
     as additional rent. We defer recognition of contingent rental income until
     those specified targets are met.

     We must make estimates of the uncollectibility of our accounts receivable
     related to minimum rent, deferred rent, expense reimbursements and other
     revenue or income, and we record this provision ( or recovery) as a
     reduction of (or addition to) rental income. We specifically analyze
     accounts receivable and historical bad debts, tenant concentrations, tenant
     credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our tenant
     payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful
     accounts receivable. These estimates have a direct impact on our net
     income, because a higher bad debt allowance would result in lower net
     income.

     The Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB)
     No. 101, REVENUE RECOGNITION, provides guidance on the application of
     generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue recognition
     issues. We believe that our revenue recognition policy is appropriate and
     in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
     SAB No. 101.

                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.

     REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

     Contributed real estate investments at our formation in July 1999 were
     recorded at the carry-over basis of our predecessor, which was fair market
     value of the assets in conformity with GAAP applicable to pension funds.
     Subsequent acquisitions of real estate investments, including those
     acquired in connection with our acquisition of Bradley Real Estate, Inc. in
     September 2000 and other acquisitions since our formation, are recorded at
     cost. Expenditures that substantially extend the useful life of a real
     estate investment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs
     and betterments that do not materially extend the useful life of a real
     estate investment are charged to operations as incurred.

     The provision for depreciation and amortization has been calculated using
     the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

     Land improvements                                       15 years
     Buildings and improvements                           20-39 years
     Tenant improvements                        Term of related lease


     We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of
     our properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to
     reflect on an annual basis with respect to our properties. These
     assessments have a direct impact on our net income because if we were to
     shorten the expected useful life of our properties or improvements, we
     would depreciate them over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation
     expense and lower net income on an annual basis during these periods.

     We apply Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144,
     ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS, to
     recognize and measure impairment of long-lived assets. We review each real
     estate investment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate
     that the carrying value of a real estate investment may not be recoverable.
     The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future
     undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result
     from the real estate investment's use and eventual disposition. These cash
     flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and
     prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other
     factors. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying
     value of a real estate investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the
     extent that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair market value.

     Real estate investments held for sale are carried at the lower of carrying
     amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Depreciation and
     amortization are suspended during the period held for sale, and operating
     results for all periods presented are presented as discontinued operations.

     We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are
     impairments in the value of our real estate properties. These assessments
     have a direct impact on our net income, because taking an impairment loss
     results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income.

     HEDGING ACTIVITIES

     From time to time, we use certain derivative financial instruments to limit
     our exposure to changes in interest rates. We were not a party to any
     hedging agreements with respect to our floating rate debt as of June 30,
     2002. We have in the past used derivative financial instruments to manage,
     or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings, from lines of
     credit to medium- and long-term financings. We require that hedging
     derivative instruments are effective in reducing the interest rate risk
     exposure that they are designed to hedge. We do not use derivatives for
     trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major
     financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors.

                                       18

                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.

     If interest rate assumptions and other factors used to estimate a
     derivatives fair value or methodologies used to determine hedge
     effectiveness were different, amounts reported in earnings and other
     comprehensive income and losses expected to be reclassified into earnings
     in the future could be affected. Furthermore, future changes in market
     interest rates and other relevant factors could increase the fair value of
     a liability for a derivative, increase future interest expense, and result
     in lower net income.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The discussion of our results of operations set forth below focuses on our
     neighborhood and community shopping centers and does not separately address
     our results attributable to our office buildings and single-tenant
     properties. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, our shopping centers
     represented approximately 99% of our total revenue and net operating
     income. In addition, during the first quarter of 2002, we sold one of our
     office buildings and we intend to dispose of one of our remaining four
     office buildings and substantially all of our single-tenant properties in
     the foreseeable future. As a result, we expect that revenues and net
     operating income from these properties will continue to decline in
     comparison to revenue and net operating income from our shopping center
     properties, and therefore we believe that a separate presentation of those
     items is not meaningful.

     COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 TO THE THREE MONTHS
     ENDED JUNE 30, 2001

     Rental and recovery income increased approximately $5.7 million, or 9.0%,
     to approximately $69.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, as
     compared with approximately $63.6 million for the three months ended June
     30, 2001. Rental income increased approximately $3.3 million, or 6.6%, to
     approximately $53.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, as
     compared with approximately $50.3 million for the three months ended June
     30, 2001. This increase resulted from the combined effect of:

          o seven property acquisitions in 2002, three property acquisitions in
            2001, one property disposition in 2002 and five property
            dispositions in 2001, providing an additional $3.0 million of rental
            income for the three months ended June 30, 2002.

          o an additional $0.3 million of rental income from same store
            properties, representing a 0.6% increase for the three months ended
            June 30, 2002.

     The average base rental rate on leases signed during the six months ended
     June 30, 2002, which measures the first twelve months of base rent payable
     under new and renewed leases signed during a period divided by the total
     square footage represented by those leases, was $10.78, as compared to
     $10.72 for the year ended December 31, 2001.

     Recoveries from tenants of property operating expenses and real estate
     taxes, increased approximately $2.4 million, or 18.1%, to approximately
     $15.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, as compared with
     approximately $13.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001.
     Recoveries from tenants of property operating expenses and real estate
     taxes were 80% and 73% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
     respectively. The increase in recoveries from tenants resulted from the net
     effect of:

          o seven property acquisitions in 2002, three property acquisitions in
            2001, one property disposition in 2002 and five property
            dispositions in 2001, providing an additional $0.8 million of
            recoveries from tenants for the three months ended June 30, 2002.

          o an additional $1.6 million of recoveries from tenants from same
            store properties, representing a 12.4% increase for the three months
            ended June 30, 2002. The increase at same store properties is
            primarily attributable to an increase in operating expenses for the


                                       19

                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.

            three months ended June 30, 2002, and leasing activity for the six
            months ended June 30, 2002.

     Operating expenses, which are comprised of property operating expenses and
     real estate taxes, increased approximately $1.4 million, or 7.7%, to
     approximately $19.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, as
     compared with approximately $18.0 million for the three months ended June
     30, 2001. The increase in operating expenses resulted from the net effect
     of:

          o seven property acquisitions in 2002, three property acquisitions in
            2001, one property disposition in 2002 and five property
            dispositions in 2001, providing an additional $.5 million of
            operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2002.

          o an additional $.9 million of operating expenses from same store
            properties, representing a 5.2% increase for the three months ended
            June 30, 2002. The increase at same store properties primarily
            resulted from an increase in parking lot related work during the
            three months ended June 30, 2002.

     Net operating margin percentage, defined as rental and recovery income less
     property operating expenses, divided by rental and recovery income, was
     approximately 72% for each of the three months ended June 30, 2002 and
     2001.

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $1.6 million,
     or 10.8%, to approximately $17.1 million for the three months ended June
     30, 2002, as compared with approximately $15.5 million for the three months
     ended June 30, 2001. This increase resulted primarily from the net effect
     of seven property acquisitions in 2002, three property acquisitions in
     2001, one property disposition in 2002, five property dispositions in 2001,
     capital and tenant improvements made during 2001 and the six months ended
     June 30, 2002 and a writeoff of approximately $.2 million of tenant
     improvements during the three months ended June 30, 2002 related to vacated
     tenants.

     Interest expense, which is comprised of interest expense and interest
     expense-related party, decreased approximately $5.0 million, or 22.1%, to
     approximately $17.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, as
     compared with approximately $22.6 million for the three months ended June
     30, 2001. This decrease resulted primarily from the net effect of:

          o the repayment of approximately $213.8 million of the outstanding
            indebtedness under our prior line of credit facility;

          o the full repayment of the $100 million of subordinated debt
            previously outstanding;

          o a reduction in the LIBOR component of our borrowing cost under our
            floating rate debt;

          o the termination of the interest rate collar associated with the $150
            term loan under our prior senior unsecured credit facility; and

          o additional indebtedness incurred primarily to finance acquired
            properties.

     General and administrative expenses increased approximately $7.5 million,
     or 256.7%, to approximately $10.4 million for the three months ended June
     30, 2002, as compared with approximately $2.9 million for the three months
     ended June 30, 2001. This increase was primarily attributable to the effect
     of accelerated stock compensation expense in connection with the IPO. Upon
     completion of the IPO, all contractual restrictions on transfer and
     forfeiture provisions that existed on restricted shares previously granted
     to members of our senior management and other key employees terminated. As
     a result, compensation expense, including with respect to the reimbursement
     of a portion of the taxes paid by two of these individuals, of $6.8 million
     on the


                                       20

                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.

     restricted shares was incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2002,
     which is comprised of $4.3 million of stock compensation expense and $2.5
     million for the reimbursement of a portion of the taxes to be paid by
     certain senior officers. In addition, included in general and
     administrative expenses was a $0.5 million accrual for compensation
     expense, including the reimbursement of a portion of the taxes to be paid
     by one employee, related to restricted stock anticipated to be issued by
     the Company in 2003 for 2002 performance. This accrual is an estimate of
     the compensation expense that will be required to be recognized in the
     event that this restricted stock is actually issued. For all periods after
     the IPO, the Company will recognize compensation expense with respect to
     performance-based stock grants ratably over the performance and vesting
     periods. The Company has not restated any prior period amounts because it
     does not believe that such restatement would be material to the financial
     condition or results of operations of the Company.

     Net derivative loss for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was
     approximately $7.6 million. This loss was attributable to the termination
     of an interest rate collar. On April 29, 2002, the Company entered into a
     $350 million unsecured line of credit with a group of lenders and Fleet
     National Bank, as agent. Upon entering into this new line of credit, the
     Company paid approximately $6.8 million to terminate the interest rate
     collar that was in place with respect to the $150 million term loan under
     the prior senior unsecured credit facility. As a result of this
     termination, the Company reclassified approximately $7.6 million of
     accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders' equity,
     to earnings during the three months ended June 30, 2002.

     Operating income from discontinued operations represents income associated
     with the 11 single-tenant properties, which are classified as real estate
     held for sale as of June 30, 2002.

     Extraordinary loss on the prepayment of debt for the three months ended
     June 30, 2002 was approximately $6.7 million. Upon entering into this new
     line of credit, the Company wrote off unamortized deferred financing costs
     with respect to the prior $425 million senior unsecured credit facility.
     This write-off amounted to approximately $4.2 million during the three
     months ended June 30, 2002. In addition, the Company used $100,000,000 of
     the net proceeds from the IPO to repay in full the $100,000,000 of
     subordinated debt previously outstanding that was scheduled to mature on
     March 18, 2004. In connection with the full repayment, the Company wrote
     off unamortized deferred financing costs with respect to the subordinated
     debt. This write-off amounted to approximately $2.5 million during the
     three months ended June 30, 2002.

     COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
     JUNE 30, 2001

     Rental and recovery income increased approximately $6.9 million, or 5.4%,
     to approximately $135.8 million for the six months ended June, 2002, as
     compared with approximately $128.9 million for the six months ended June
     30, 2001. Rental income increased approximately $3.8 million, or 3.8%, to
     approximately $105.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as
     compared with approximately $101.5 million for the six months ended June
     30, 2001. This increase resulted from the combined effect of:

          o seven property acquisitions in 2002, three property acquisitions in
            2001, one property disposition in 2002 and five property
            dispositions in 2001, providing an additional $3.5 million of rental
            income for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

          o an additional $0.3 million of rental income from same store
            properties, representing a .4% increase for the six months ended
            June 30, 2002.

     The average base rental rate on leases signed during the six months ended
     June 30, 2002, which measures the first twelve months of base rent payable
     under new and renewed leases signed during a period divided by the total
     square footage represented by those leases, was $10.78, as compared to
     $10.72 for the year ended December 31, 2001.

                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.

     Recoveries from tenants of property operating expenses and real estate
     taxes increased approximately $3.1 million, or 11.0%, to approximately
     $30.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared with
     approximately $27.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
     Recoveries from tenants of property operating expenses and real estate
     taxes were 78% and 73% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
     respectively. The increase in the recovery rate for the six months ended
     June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 was
     primarily the result of recovery income from bankrupt tenants, primarily
     Kmart Corporation, being recorded during the three months ended June 30,
     2002, as these amounts are now recognizable under the Company's revenue
     recognition policy. This increase resulted from the net effect of:

          o seven property acquisitions in 2002, three property acquisitions in
            2001, one property disposition in 2002 and five property
            dispositions in 2001, providing an additional $.9 million of
            recoveries from tenants for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

          o an additional $2.2 million of recoveries from tenants from same
            store properties, representing a 7.7% increase for the six months
            ended June 30, 2002. The increase at same store properties is
            primarily attributable to an increase in operating expenses for the
            six months ended June 30, 2002, and leasing activity for the six
            months ended June 30, 2002.

     Operating expenses, which are comprised of property operating expenses and
     real estate taxes, increased approximately $1.3 million, or 3.4%, to
     approximately $38.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as
     compared with approximately $37.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
     2001. The increase in operating expenses resulted from the net effect of:

          o seven property acquisitions in 2002, three property acquisitions in
            2001, one property disposition in 2002 and five property
            dispositions in 2001, providing an additional $.5 million of
            operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2002.

          o an additional $.8 million of operating expenses from same store
            properties, representing a 2.3% increase for the six months ended
            June 30, 2002. The increase at same store properties primarily
            resulted from an increase in parking lot related work during the six
            months ended June 30, 2002.

     Net operating margin percentage, defined as rental and recovery income less
     property operating expenses, divided by rental and recovery income, was
     approximately 71% for each of the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $3.7 million,
     or 12.0%, to approximately $34.5 million for the six months ended June 30,
     2002, as compared with approximately $30.8 million for the six months ended
     June 30, 2001. This increase resulted primarily from the net effect of
     seven property acquisition in 2002, three property acquisitions in 2001,
     one property disposition in 2002, five property dispositions in 2001,
     capital and tenant improvements made during 2001 and the six months ended
     June 30, 2002 and a writeoff of approximately $1.2 million of tenant
     improvements during the six months ended June 30, 2002 related to vacated
     tenants.

     Interest expense, which is comprised of interest expense and interest
     expense-related party, decreased approximately $7.2 million, or 15.7%, to
     approximately $38.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as
     compared with approximately $46.0 million for the six months ended June 30,
     2001. This decrease resulted primarily from the net effect of:

          o the repayment of approximately $213.8 million of the outstanding
            indebtedness under our prior line of credit facility;

          o the full repayment of the $100 million of subordinated debt
            previously outstanding;

                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.

          o a reduction in the LIBOR component of our borrowing cost under our
            floating rate debt;

          o the termination of the interest rate collar associated with the $150
            term loan under our prior senior unsecured credit facility; and

          o additional indebtedness incurred primarily to finance acquired
            properties.

     General and administrative expenses increased approximately $7.6 million,
     or 124.5%, to approximately $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30,
     2002, as compared with approximately $6.1 million for the six months ended
     June 30, 2001. This increase was primarily attributable to the effect of
     accelerated stock compensation expense in connection with the IPO. Upon
     completion of the IPO, all contractual restrictions on transfer and
     forfeiture provisions that existed on restricted shares previously granted
     to members of our senior management and other key employees terminated. As
     a result, compensation expense, including with respect to the reimbursement
     of a portion of the taxes paid by two of these individuals, of $6.8 million
     on the restricted shares was incurred during the three months ended June
     30, 2002, which is comprised of $4.3 million of stock compensation expense
     and $2.5 million for the reimbursement of a portion of the taxes to be paid
     by certain senior officers. In addition, included in general and
     administrative expenses was a $0.5 million accrual for compensation
     expense, including the reimbursement of a portion of the taxes to be paid
     by one employee, related to restricted stock anticipated to be issued by
     the Company in 2003 for 2002 performance. This accrual is an estimate of
     the compensation expense that will be required to be recognized in the
     event that this restricted stock is actually issued. For all periods after
     the IPO, the Company will recognize compensation expense with respect to
     performance-based stock grants ratably over the performance and vesting
     periods. The Company has not restated any prior period amounts because it
     does not believe that such restatement would be material to the financial
     condition or results of operations of the Company.

     During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we sold one office building,
     resulting in a net gain on sale of real estate investments of approximately
     $1.4 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, we sold two
     single-tenant properties resulting in a net gain on sale of real estate
     investments of $2.3 million.

     Net derivative loss for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was
     approximately $7.6 million as compared to a net derivate gain of
     approximately $.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 . This
     loss was attributable to the termination of an interest rate collar. On
     April 29, 2002, the Company entered into a $350 million unsecured line of
     credit with a group of lenders and Fleet National Bank, as agent. Upon
     entering into this new line of credit, the Company paid approximately $6.8
     million to terminate the interest rate collar that was then in place with
     respect to the $150 million term loan under the prior senior unsecured
     credit facility. As a result of this termination, the Company reclassified
     approximately $7.6 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss, a
     component of shareholders' equity, to earnings during the six months ended
     June 30, 2002.

     Operating income from discontinued operations represents income associated
     with the 11 single-tenant properties, which are classified as real estate
     held for sale as of June 30, 2002.

     Extraordinary loss on the prepayment of debt for the six months ended June
     30, 2002 was approximately $6.7 million. Upon entering into this new line
     of credit, the Company wrote off unamortized deferred financing costs with
     respect to the prior $425 million senior unsecured credit facility. This
     write-off amounted to approximately $4.2 million during the six months
     ended June 30, 2002. In addition, the Company used $100.0 million of the
     net proceeds from the IPO to repay in full the $100,000,000 of subordinated
     debt previously outstanding that was scheduled to mature on March 18, 2004.
     In connection with the full repayment, the Company wrote off unamortized
     deferred financing costs with respect to the subordinated debt. This
     write-off amounted to approximately $2.5 million during the six months
     ended June 30, 2002.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of June 30, 2002, we had approximately $3.9 million in available cash
     and cash equivalents. As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90%
     of our taxable income to our stockholders on an annual basis. Therefore, as
     a general matter, it is unlikely that we will have any substantial cash
     balances that could be used to meet our liquidity needs. Instead, these
     needs must be met from cash generated from operations and external sources
     of capital.

     SHORT-TERM LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENTS

     Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary
     to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated
     with our properties, including:

          o recurring maintenance capital expenditures necessary to properly
            maintain our properties;

          o interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding
            indebtedness;

          o capital expenditures incurred to facilitate the leasing of space at
            our properties, including tenant improvements and leasing
            commissions; and

          o future distributions to be paid to our stockholders.

     Historically, we have satisfied our short-term liquidity requirements
     through our existing working capital and cash provided by our operations.
     We believe that our existing working capital and cash provided by
     operations will continue to be sufficient to meet our short-term liquidity
     requirements. Cash flows provided by operations increased to approximately
     $56.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to $34.6
     million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in cash flows
     from operations is attributable to the combined effect of a $7.2 million
     decrease in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and a
     decrease in accounts receivable and prepaids and other assets.

     There are a number of factors that could adversely affect our cash flow. An
     economic downturn in one or more of our markets may impede the ability of
     our tenants to make lease payments and may impact our ability to renew
     leases or re-let space as leases expire. In addition, an economic downturn
     or recession could also lead to an increase in tenant bankruptcies,
     increases in our overall vacancy rates or declines in rents we can charge
     to re-lease properties upon expiration of current leases. In all of these
     cases, our cash flow would be adversely affected.

     During 2001, 15 of our tenants filed for bankruptcy protection. These
     tenants contributed approximately 2.7% of our annualized base rent for all
     leases in which tenants were in occupancy at December 31, 2001. In
     addition, during 2002, threeof our tenants have filed for bankruptcy
     protection, the largest of which was Kmart Corporation. Kmart Corporation
     contributed approximately 1.5% of our annualized base rent for all leases
     in which tenants were in occupancy at June 30, 2002. As a general matter,
     the Company believes that these bankruptcies and the current economic
     downturn has not had a material impact on our operating results. However,
     continuation of the current downturn or a recession could materially
     negatively impact our operating results in 2002.

     We currently lease space to Kmart at seven of our shopping centers. These
     locations were all physically occupied at June 30, 2002. In addition, Kmart
     owns store locations at three of our shopping centers and subleases space
     from third party tenants at two of our other locations. On March 8, 2002,
     Kmart announced that it intends to close 284 store locations as part of its
     bankruptcy reorganization. None of the twelve store locations described
     above were included in the list of announced store closings. However, we
     have agreed with Kmart to a rent reduction at one of our shopping centers
     of approximately $290,000 on an annualized basis.

     Although Kmart has announced its current intended store closings, we are
     not able to fully predict the impact on our business of Kmart's bankruptcy
     filing at this time. For instance, Kmart could decide to close additional
     stores, including our locations, terminate a substantial number of leases
     with us, or request additional rent reductions or deferrals. Any of these
     actions could adversely affect our rental revenues, and the impact may be
     material. In addition, Kmart's termination of leases or closure of stores
     could result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants
     in the same shopping centers which could materially harm our business.

     Any future bankruptcies of tenants in our portfolio, particularly major or
     anchor tenants, may negatively impact our operating results.

     We incur maintenance capital expenditures at our properties, which include
     such expenses as parking lot improvements, roof repairs and replacements
     and other non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures. Maintenance capital
     expenditures were approximately $1.3 million for the six months ended June
     30, 2002. We expect total maintenance capital expenditures to be
     approximately $7.4 million, or approximately $.32 per square foot, in 2002.
     We also expect to incur revenue enhancing capital expenditures such as
     tenant improvements and leasing commissions in connection with the leasing
     or re-leasing of retail space. We believe that our existing working capital
     and cash provided by operations will be sufficient to fund our maintenance
     capital expenditures for the next twelve months.

     We believe that we qualify and we intend to continue to qualify as a REIT
     under the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, we are allowed to reduce
     taxable income by all or a portion of our distributions paid to
     shareholders. We believe that our existing working capital and cash
     provided by operations will be sufficient to allow us to pay distributions
     necessary to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT.

     LONG-TERM LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENTS

     Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary
     to pay for scheduled debt maturities, renovations, expansions and other
     non-recurring capital expenditures that need to be made periodically to our
     properties, and the costs associated with acquisitions of properties that
     we pursue. Historically, we have satisfied our long-term liquidity
     requirements through various sources of capital, including our existing
     working capital, cash provided by operations, long-term property mortgage
     indebtedness, lines of credit and through the issuance of additional equity
     securities. We believe that these sources of capital will generally
     continue to be available to us in the future to fund our long-term
     liquidity requirements. However, certain factors may have a material
     adverse effect on our access to these capital sources.

     Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent upon a number of factors,
     including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets, our
     credit rating and borrowing restrictions imposed by existing lenders.
     Currently, we have a credit rating from two major rating agencies -
     Standard & Poor's, which on August 1, 2002 raised our rating to BBB-, and
     Moody's Investor Service, which has given us a rating of Ba2. On May 17,
     2002, Moody's announced that it had placed the rating of Bradley Operating
     Limited Partnership under review for a possible upgrade. A downgrade in
     outlook or rating by a rating agency can occur at any time if the agency
     perceives an adverse change in our financial condition, results of
     operations or ability to service our debt. If our credit rating is
     upgraded, it would decrease the spread over LIBOR currently payable by us
     under our new line of credit.

     Based on our internal evaluation of our properties, the estimated value of
     our properties exceeds the outstanding amount of mortgage debt encumbering
     those properties as of June 30, 2002. Therefore, at this time, we believe
     that additional funds could be obtained, either in the form of mortgage
     debt or additional unsecured borrowings. In addition, we believe that we
     could obtain additional

                                       25

                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.

     financing without violating the financial covenants contained in our new
     line of credit or unsecured public notes.

     Our ability to raise funds through the issuance of equity securities is
     dependent upon, among other things, general market conditions for REITs and
     market perceptions about us. We will continue to analyze which source of
     capital is most advantageous to us at any particular point in time, but the
     equity markets may not be consistently available on terms that are
     attractive or at all.

     COMMITMENTS

     We currently do not have any capital lease obligations or operating lease
     commitments. The following table summarizes our repayment obligations under
     our indebtedness outstanding as of June 30, 2002.

     The indebtedness described in the table above will require balloon
     payments, including approximately $3.2 million due in November 2002. It is
     likely that we will not have sufficient funds on hand to repay additional
     balloon amounts at maturity. We currently expect to refinance this debt
     through unsecured private or public debt offerings, additional debt
     financings secured by individual properties or groups of properties or
     additional equity offerings. We may also refinance balloon payments through
     borrowings under our new line of credit.

     NEW LINE OF CREDIT

     On April 29, 2002, the Company entered into a $350 million unsecured line
     of credit with a group of lenders and Fleet National Bank, as agent. This
     new line of credit replaced the Company's prior senior unsecured credit
     facility, which was repaid primarily with proceeds of the IPO. Heritage
     Property Investment Limited Partnership and Bradley Operating Limited
     Partnership are borrowers under the new line of credit and we, and
     substantially all of our other subsidiaries, have guaranteed this new line
     of credit. This new line of credit is being used principally to fund growth
     opportunities and for working capital purposes. At June 30, 2002, $210
     million was outstanding under the new line of credit.

     Our ability to borrow under this new line of credit is subject to our
     ongoing compliance with a number of financial and other covenants. This new
     line of credit, except under some circumstances, limits our ability to make
     distributions in excess of 90% of our annual funds from operations. In
     addition, this new line of credit bears interest at a floating rate based
     on a spread over LIBOR ranging from 80 basis points to 135 basis points,
     depending upon our debt rating, and requires monthly payments of interest.
     The variable rate in effect at June 30, 2002, including the lender's margin
     of 135 basis points, was 3.29%. In addition, this new line of credit has a
     facility fee based on the amount committed ranging from 15 to 25 basis
     points, depending upon our debt rating, and requires quarterly payments.

                                       26

                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.

     Upon entering into this new line of credit, we paid $6.8 million to
     terminate the collar which was then in place with respect to the $150
     million term loan under our prior senior unsecured credit facility. As a
     result of the termination of the collar, we reclassified $7.6 million of
     accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of shareholders' equity,
     to earnings in the second quarter ended June 30, 2002.

     In addition, upon entering into this new line of credit, the Company wrote
     off unamortized deferred financing costs with respect to the existing $425
     million senior unsecured credit facility. This write-off amounted to
     approximately $4.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2002.

     FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

     The White Paper on Funds from Operations approved by NAREIT in March 1995
     defines Funds from Operations as net income (loss) computed in accordance
     with generally accepted accounting principles, excluding gains (or losses)
     from debt restructuring and sales of properties, plus real estate related
     depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated
     partnerships and joint ventures. In November 1999, NAREIT issued a National
     Policy Bulletin effective January 1, 2000 clarifying the definition of
     Funds from Operations to include all operating results, both recurring and
     non-recurring, except those defined as extraordinary under GAAP.

     We believe that Funds from Operations is helpful as a measure of the
     performance of a REIT because, along with cash flow from operating
     activities, financing activities and investing activities, it provides an
     indication of our ability to incur and service debt, to make capital
     expenditures and to fund other cash needs. We compute Funds from Operations
     in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be
     comparable to Funds from Operations reported by other REITs that do not
     define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that
     interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. Funds from
     Operations does not represent cash generated from operating activities in
     accordance with GAAP, nor does it represent cash available to pay
     distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income,
     financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities, determined
     in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it
     indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability
     to pay cash distributions.

     The following table reflects the calculation of Funds from Operations:

     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     We have in the past engaged in and currently engage in a number of
     transactions with related parties. The following is a summary of ongoing
     transactions with related parties that may impact our future operating
     results.

     THE TJX COMPANIES

     In July 1999, Bernard Cammarata became a member of our board of directors.
     Mr. Cammarata is Chairman of the Board of TJX Companies, Inc., our largest
     tenant, and was President and Chief Executive Officer of TJX until June
     1999. Annualized base rent from the TJX Companies represents approximately
     5.2% of our total annualized base rent for all leases in which tenants were
     in occupancy at June 30, 2002. TJX pays us rent in accordance with written
     leases with respect to several of our properties.

     ADVISORY FEE

     The Prudential Insurance Company of America, our second largest
     stockholder, received advisory and other fees totaling approximately $3.4
     million in connection with our IPO. This fee was incurred in the three
     months ended June 30, 2002.

     131 DARTMOUTH STREET JOINT VENTURE

     In November 1999, we entered into a joint venture for the acquisition and
     development of a 365,000 square foot commercial office tower at 131
     Dartmouth Street, Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to an unaffiliated
     third party, NETT, our largest stockholder, is also participating in this
     project. Specifically, NETT, Heritage and DFS Dartmouth, LLC have formed an
     entity to own this project. This entity is owned 74% by NETT, 20% by DFS
     Dartmouth, LLC and 6% by us. We were issued this interest as part of a
     management arrangement we entered into with the new entity. Under this
     arrangement, through our subsidiary, we are providing management services
     to this project, for which we are entitled to receive 6% of all cash and
     capital transaction proceeds received by the project. We have no ongoing
     capital contribution requirements with respect to this project, which we
     expect will be completed in October 2002. We account for our interest in
     this joint venture using the cost method and we have not expensed any
     amounts through June 30, 2002.

     BOSTON OFFICE LEASE

     One of the properties contributed to us by Net Realty Holding Trust was our
     headquarters building at 535 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts. In
     1974, NETT and Net Realty Holding Trust entered into a lease providing for
     the lease of 14,400 square feet of space in this office building to NETT
     for its Boston offices. The current term of this lease expires on March 31,
     2005 and, under this lease, NETT pays us $648,000 per year in rent.

     CONTINGENCIES

     LEGAL AND OTHER CLAIMS

     We are subject to legal and other claims incurred in the normal course of
     business. Based on our review and consultation with counsel of those
     matters known to exist, we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of
     these claims would materially affect our financial position or results of
     operations.

                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.


     NON-RECOURSE LOAN GUARANTEES

     In connection with the Bradley acquisition, we entered into a special
     securitized facility with Prudential Mortgage Capital Corporation pursuant
     to which $244 million of collateralized mortgage-backed securities were
     issued by a trust created by PMCC. The trust consists of a single mortgage
     loan due from a subsidiary we created, Heritage SPE LLC, to which we
     contributed 29 of our properties. This loan is secured by all 29 properties
     we contributed to the borrower.

     In connection with the securitized financing with PMCC, we entered into
     several indemnification and guaranty agreements with PMCC under the terms
     of which we agreed to indemnify PMCC for various bad acts of Heritage SPE
     LLC and with respect to specified environmental liabilities with respect to
     the properties contributed by us to Heritage SPE LLC.

     We also have agreed to indemnify other mortgage lenders for bad acts and
     environmental liabilities in connection with other mortgage loans that we
     have obtained.

     INFLATION

     Inflation has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of our
     properties. However, many of our leases contain provisions designed to
     mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. These provisions include clauses
     enabling us to receive payment of additional rent calculated as a
     percentage of tenants' gross sales above pre-determined thresholds, which
     generally increase as prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which
     generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. These
     escalation clauses often are at fixed rent increases or indexed escalations
     (based on the consumer price index or other measures). Many of our leases
     are also for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek to
     increase rents to market rates upon renewal. In addition, most of our
     leases require the tenant to pay an allocable share of operating expenses,
     including common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance.
     This reduces our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses
     resulting from inflation.

     NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND ACCOUNTING CHANGES

     SFAS NO. 145

     In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
     145, RESCISSION OF FASB STATEMENTS NO. 4, 44 AND 64, AMENDMENT OF FASB
     STATEMENT NO. 13, AND TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS. SFAS No. 145 eliminates the
     requirement that all gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt be
     aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item. However,
     a company could continue to classify transactions as extraordinary items if
     they meet the criteria described in paragraph 20 of APB No. 30, REPORTING
     THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - REPORTING THE EFFECTS OF DISPOSAL OF A SEGMENT
     OF A BUSINESS, AND EXTRAORDINARY, UNUSUAL AND INFREQUENTLY OCCURRING EVENTS
     AND TRANSACTIONS. Paragraph 20 of APB 30 requires that the event or
     transaction be both unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence.

     SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002.
     However, any gain or loss on extinguishment of debt that was classified as
     an extraordinary item in prior periods presented that does not meet the
     criteria of APB 30 shall be reclassified. The Company has elected to adopt
     SFAS No. 145 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2003, and therefore
     has classified its losses associated with its prepayment of its prior
     senior unsecured credit facility and subordinated debt during the three
     months ended June 30, 2002 as an extraordinary item.


                                       29

                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.


     SFAS NO. 144

     In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
     144, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS, which
     supersedes both SFAS No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED
     ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF, and the accounting and
     reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, REPORTING THE RESULTS OF
     OPERATIONS--REPORTING THE EFFECTS OF DISPOSAL OF A SEGMENT OF BUSINESS, AND
     EXTRAORDINARY, UNUSUAL, AND INFREQUENTLY OCCURRING EVENTS AND TRANSACTIONS,
     for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that
     Opinion). SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions in SFAS No. 121
     for recognizing and measuring impairment losses on long-lived assets held
     for use and long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, while also
     resolving significant implementation issues associated with SFAS No. 121.
     In addition, SFAS No. 144 retains the basic provisions of Opinion 30 for
     presenting discontinued operations in the income statement but broadens
     that presentation to include a component of an entity (rather than a
     segment of a business).

     The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The Company had one
     property disposition during the six months ended June 30, 2002, which was
     classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2001. As the property was
     classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2001, it was exempt from the
     provisions of SFAS No. 144. In addition, the Company has classified 11
     single-tenant properties as real estate held for sale as June 30, 2002.
     Accordingly, the operating results of the real estate held for sale has
     been reclassified and reported as discontinued operations for the three and
     six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from adverse changes in
     market prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity
     prices and equity prices. The primary market risk to which we are exposed
     is interest rate risk, which is sensitive to many factors, including
     governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic
     and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control.
     Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial
     instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates.

     As of June 30, 2002, our total outstanding debt was approximately $952
     million, of which approximately $210 million, or 22%, was variable rate
     debt under our line of credit facility. We were not a party to any hedging
     agreements with respect to our floating rate debt as of June 30, 2002. We
     have in the past used derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge,
     interest rate risks related to our borrowings, from lines of credit to
     medium- and long-term financings. We require that hedging derivative
     instruments are effective in reducing the interest rate risk exposure that
     they are designed to hedge. We do not use derivatives for trading or
     speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial
     institutions based on their credit rating and other factors. We do not
     believe that the interest rate risk represented by our floating rate debt
     is material as of June 30, 2002 in relation to total assets and our total
     market capitalization.

     The majority of our outstanding debt as of June 30, 2002 has a fixed
     interest rate, which minimizes the risk of fluctuating interest rates. We
     do not believe that our weighted average interest rate of 7.76% on our
     fixed rate debt is materially different from current fair market interest
     rates for debt instruments with similar risks and maturities.

                    HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.


PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     On October 31, 2001, a complaint was filed against the Company in the
     Superior Court of Suffolk County of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by
     Weston Associates and its president, Paul Donahue, alleging that the
     Company owes Mr. Donahue and his firm a fee in connection with services he
     claims he performed on the Company's behalf in connection with the
     acquisition of Bradley. Through his personal relationships with the parties
     involved, Mr. Donahue introduced the Company to Bradley and its senior
     management team. Mr. Donahue alleges, however, that he played an
     instrumental role in the negotiation and completion of the acquisition of
     Bradley beyond merely introducing the parties. For these alleged efforts,
     Mr. Donahue demands that he receive a fee equal to 2% of the aggregate
     consideration the Company paid to acquire Bradley, or a fee of
     approximately $24 million. In addition, Mr. Donahue also seeks treble
     damages based on alleged unfair or deceptive business practices under
     Massachusetts law.

     On December 30, 2001, the Company filed a motion to dismiss all of Mr.
     Donahue's claims. Mr. Donahue filed an opposition to our motion and on
     March 22, 2002, a hearing was held by the court. The court has not yet
     rendered a decision with respect to our motion to dismiss. It is not
     possible at this time to predict the outcome of this litigation and the
     Company intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

     Except as set forth above, the Company is not involved in any material
     litigation nor, to its knowledge, is any material litigation threatened
     against the Company, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary
     course of business, which is expected to be covered by insurance. In the
     opinion of management, after consultation with counsel, this litigation is
     not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
     financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES

     On April 23, 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission simultaneously
     declared effective the Company's registration statement on Form S-11
     (Registration No. 333-69118) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, and
     its registration statement on Form 8-A, filed under the Securities Exchange
     Act of 1934, for an initial public offering (IPO) of its common stock. On
     April 24, 2002, the Company also filed a registration statement on Form
     S-11 (Registration No. 333-86836), pursuant to Rule 462(b) promulgated by
     the Securities and Exchange Commission. The registration statements
     provided for the registration of an aggregate of 20,700,000 shares of the
     Company's common stock, of which, 15,500,000 shares were registered on
     behalf of the Company, 4,000,000 shares were registered on behalf of NETT,
     the Company's largest stockholder, and 1,200,000 shares were registered on
     behalf of The Prudential Insurance Company of America, our second largest
     stockholder. On April 29, 2002, the Company completed its IPO, of which,
     Merrill Lynch & Co. acted as managing underwriter, and sold 14,000,000
     shares of common stock and NETT sold 4,000,000 shares of its common stock
     in the IPO at a price of $25.00 per share. The net proceeds from the IPO
     were approximately $321 million, after deducting the underwriters'
     discounts and commissions of approximately $22 million and offering
     expenses payable by us of approximately $7.1 million. In connection with
     the IPO, the Company paid an affiliate of The Prudential Insurance Company
     of America an advisory fee of $3.375 million.

     All of the proceeds of the IPO were used to repay then outstanding
     indebtedness of the Company. The Company used approximately $100 million of
     these net proceeds to fully repay all of the outstanding principal and
     interest on the subordinated loan the Company entered into with Fleet

     National Bank in September 2000 and approximately $214 million of the net
     proceeds of this offering was used to repay a portion of the outstanding
     indebtedness under the Company's senior unsecured credit facility with
     Fleet and other financial institutions. In addition, the Company used
     approximately $7 million to pay the fee associated with terminating the
     hedge then in place with respect to the $150 million term loan under the
     prior existing senior unsecured credit facility.

     On May 21, 2002, the Underwriters of the IPO notified the Company of their
     exercise of their option, granted under the terms of an Underwriting
     Agreement with the Company, to purchase 145,000 additional shares of common
     stock, including 80,556 shares from the Company and 64,444 shares from The
     Prudential Insurance Company of America, solely to cover overallotments,
     and on May 24, 2002, upon the closing of the sale of the over-allotment
     shares, the Company received additional net proceeds of approximately $1.9
     million from the Underwriters after deducting the underwriters' discounts
     and commissions of $.1 million. These net proceeds were used to repay
     outstanding indebtedness.

     In connection with our IPO, all 20,341,767 shares of Series A Cumulative
     Convertible Preferred Stock and redeemable equity outstanding converted
     automatically into shares of the Company's common stock on a one for one
     basis.
