Introductory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends Item 2.01 and Item 9.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on September 27, 2011 (the “Original Form 8-K”), to include certain historical financial statements and certain unaudited pro forma financial information.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On September 27, 2011, Saul Centers, Inc. (the “Company”) filed the Original Form 8-K in connection with the consummation of an acquisition of three shopping center properties known as Kentlands Square II in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Severna Park MarketPlace in Severna Park, Maryland and Cranberry Square in Westminster, Maryland, for an aggregate purchase price of $168.5 million.

In acquiring the properties, the Company evaluated the following factors:

 

•

the location and accessibility of the properties;

 

•

the geographic area and demographic characteristics of the surrounding communities, as well as the local real estate markets, including potential for growth and potential regulatory impediments to development;

 

•

the size of the properties;

 

•

the purchase prices;

 

•

the non-financial terms of the acquisitions;

 

•

the availability of funds or other consideration for the acquisitions and the costs thereof;

 

•

the “fit” of the properties with the Company’s existing portfolio;

 

•

the potential for any environmental problems;

 

•

the current and historical occupancy rates of the properties as well as comparable and competing properties in the same market;

 

•

the quality of construction and design and the current physical condition of the properties;

 

•

the financial and other characteristics (including market share) of the anchor tenants and the terms of existing anchor leases; and

 

•

the potential for capital appreciation.
