     Saul Centers instituted a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan in

have some or all of their cash dividends or cash distributions automatically

this Schedule 13D, Saul Centers has issued Common Stock pursuant to the DRIP on

Property Company, Van Ness Square Corporation and Dearborn, L.L.C. all
participated in the DRIP and, consequently, were issued additional shares of
Common Stock in lieu of receiving cash payments. The total amount reinvested and
the number of shares acquired by such entities are as follows:

     The B. F. Saul Company Employees' Profit Sharing Retirement Trust (the
"Plan") is a profit sharing retirement plan for the benefit of the employees of
the Saul Company, its subsidiaries and other participating companies that
invests its assets for the benefit of the employees of such companies. The Plan
is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and is
subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"). The Plan is administered by four trustees: B. Francis Saul II, Philip
D. Caraci, Alexander R.M. Boyle and Stephen R. Halpin, Jr. Because B. Francis

acquired by the Plan, the acquisition of such shares is being reported in this
Schedule 13D. B. Francis Saul II disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares
held by the Plan that exceed his pecuniary interest in the Plan.

exceed his pecuniary interest in the Plan.

     The number of Common Shares beneficially owned collectively by the
reporting persons and other affiliates of B. Francis Saul II excludes 5,178,763
units of limited partnership interest in Saul Holdings Limited Partnership, a
Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"), which units, in general, are
convertible into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. However, under
the terms of the limited partnership agreement of the Partnership, at the
current time, these 5,178,763 units may not be converted into shares of Common
Stock because such conversion would cause the reporting persons and other
affiliates of Mr. Saul to beneficially own collectively greater than 24.9% of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

     b. The Saul Entities have the sole power to vote or to direct the vote and
to dispose or to direct the disposition of the shares of Common Stock directly
owned by each. The Saul Trust shares the power to vote or to direct the vote and
to dispose or to direct the disposition of shares of Common Stock owned by
Dearborn, L.L.C. B. Francis Saul II shares the power to vote or to direct the
vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of shares of Common Stock owned
by the Saul Entities and the Plan with the other directors, trustees or general
partners of the Saul Entities, and the other trustees of the Plan, respectively.
The information required by Item 2 with respect to the other directors, trustees
and general partners of the Saul Entities is set forth in Item 2 above. The
information required by Item 2 with respect to the other Plan trustees is set
forth in the following table:

Elizabeth Willoughby Saul Trust, the Andrew M. Saul Trust, and the Patricia
English Saul Trust, has the sole power to vote and the sole power to direct the
disposition of 22,602 shares of Common Stock held by these trusts. As noted in
Item 3, because of his possible influence over the trustees and beneficiaries of

     Because Mr. Saul is not the beneficial owner of the shares held by the
Trusts listed above, these shares are not included in Mr. Saul's holdings in
Item 5(a) above. However, because Mr. Saul has an indirect pecuniary interest in
the shares held by his wife, Mrs. Patricia E. Saul, these shares are included in
Mr. Saul's holdings in Item 5(a) above.
