This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Although the
Company (as defined below) believes that the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, the Company's
actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the
forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause such a difference
include the following: changes in real estate conditions (including rental rates
and competing properties) or in industries in which the Company's principal
tenants compete; changes in general economic conditions; consummation of the
proposed merger with Station Casinos, Inc. on terms other than those described
herein or the failure to consummate the merger; the ability to identify
acquisitions and investment opportunities meeting the Company's investment
strategy; timely leasing of unoccupied square footage; timely releasing of
occupied square footage upon expiration; the Company's ability to generate
revenues sufficient to meet debt service payments and other operating expenses;
the Company's inability to control the management and operation of its
residential development properties, its tenants and the businesses associated
with its investment in refrigerated warehouses; financing risks, such as the
availability of funds sufficient to service existing debt, changes in interest
rates associated with its variable rate debt, the availability of equity and
debt financing terms acceptable to the Company, the possibility that the
Company's outstanding debt (which requires so-called "balloon" payments of
principal) may be refinanced at higher interest rates or otherwise on terms less
favorable to the Company and the fact that interest rates under the Credit
Facility (as defined below) and certain of the Company's other financing
arrangements may increase; the existence of complex regulations relating to the
Company's status as a real estate investment trust and the adverse consequences
of the failure to qualify as such; and other risks detailed from time to time in
the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Given these
uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the
results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to
reflect any future events or circumstances.

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

THE COMPANY

Crescent Real Estate Equities Company ("Crescent Equities") is a fully
integrated real estate company operating as a real estate investment trust for
federal income tax purposes (a "REIT"). The Company provides management,
leasing, and development services with respect to certain of its properties.
Crescent Equities is a Texas real estate investment trust which became the
successor to Crescent Real Estate Equities, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the
"Predecessor Corporation"), on December 31, 1996, through the merger of the
Predecessor Corporation and CRE Limited Partner, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
into Crescent Equities. The direct and indirect subsidiaries of Crescent
Equities include Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited Partnership (the
"Operating Partnership"); Crescent Real Estate Equities, Ltd. (the "General
Partner"), which is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership; and
seven single purpose limited partnerships (formed for the purpose of obtaining
securitized debt) in which the Operating Partnership owns substantially all of
the economic interests directly or indirectly, with the remaining interests
owned indirectly by Crescent Equities through seven separate corporations, each
of which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the General Partner and a general
partner of one of the seven limited partnerships. The term "Company" includes,
unless the context otherwise requires, Crescent Equities, the Predecessor
Corporation, the Operating Partnership, the General Partner and the other direct
and indirect subsidiaries of Crescent Equities.

As of December 31, 1997, the Company directly or indirectly owned a
portfolio of real estate assets (the "Properties") located primarily in 21
metropolitan submarkets in Texas and Colorado. The Properties include 80
office properties (the "Office Properties") with an aggregate of approximately
28.6 million net rentable square feet, 90 behavioral healthcare facilities (the
"Behavioral Healthcare Facilities"), six full-service hotels with a total of
1,962 rooms and two destination health and fitness resorts (the "Hotel
Properties"), real estate mortgages and non-voting common stock representing
interests ranging from 40% to 95% in five unconsolidated residential development
corporations (the "Residential Development Corporations"), which in turn,
through joint venture or partnership arrangements, own interests in 12
residential development properties (the "Residential Development Properties"),





1
4
and seven retail properties (the "Retail Properties") with an aggregate of
approximately .8 million net rentable square feet. In addition, the Company
owns an indirect 38% interest in each of two corporations (the "Refrigerated
Warehouse Companies") that currently own and operate approximately 80
refrigerated warehouses with an aggregate of approximately 394 million cubic
feet (the "Refrigerated Warehouse Investment"). The Company also has a 42.5%
partnership interest in a partnership whose primary holdings consist of a
364-room executive conference center and general partner interests ranging from
one to 50%, in additional office, retail, multi-family and industrial
properties.

From January 1, 1998 through March 25, 1998, the Company acquired six
additional Office Properties with an aggregate of approximately 2.2 million net
rentable square feet and one additional Hotel Property with a total of 314
rooms. In addition, the Company has entered into an agreement to acquire a
corporation (the "Pending Investment") that owns four full-service casino/hotels
and two riverboat casinos. See "Recent Developments," below.

Crescent Equities conducts all of its business directly through the
Operating Partnership and its other subsidiaries. The structure of the Company
was developed to facilitate and maintain its qualification as a REIT and to
permit persons contributing properties (or interests therein) to the Company to
defer some or all of the tax liability that they otherwise might have incurred
in connection with the formation of the Company.

See Note 1 of Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data"
for the table which lists the principal subsidiaries of Crescent Equities and
the Properties owned by such subsidiary.

The Company's executive offices are located at 777 Main Street, Suite
2100, Fort Worth, Texas 76102, and its telephone number is (817) 877-0477.

BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND OPERATING STRATEGIES

The Company's business objective is to maximize the total return to
its shareholders through increases in distributions and share price. From the
Company's initial public offering of common shares on May 5, 1994, through
March 25, 1998, the total return to shareholders was approximately 225.3%, with
distributions having increased by approximately 64.3% and the market price per
Common Share having increased by approximately 191.5%. From January 1, 1997
through March 25, 1998, the total return to shareholders was approximately
43.3%, with distributions having increased by approximately 24.6% and the
market price per common share having increased by approximately 38.2%.

INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Management believes that it will be able to identify substantial
opportunities for future real estate investments from a variety of sources,
including life insurance companies and pension funds seeking to reduce their
direct real estate investments, public and private real estate companies,
corporations divesting of nonstrategic real estate assets, public and private
sellers requiring complex disposition structures and other domestic and
international sources. The Company intends to continue utilizing its extensive
network of relationships, its ability to identify underperforming assets, its
market reputation and its ready access to equity and debt capital to achieve
favorable returns on invested capital and growth in cash flow by:

o acquiring high-quality office properties at prices
below their estimated replacement cost in selected
core markets and submarkets that management expects
to experience above-average population and employment
growth; and

o employing the corporate, transactional and financial
skills of the Company's management team to structure
innovative investments in other types of real estate
assets (such as its recent Refrigerated Warehouse
Investment, its acquisition of the Behavioral
Healthcare Facilities and its Pending Investment in
casino/hotel properties).

The Company believes that its proven ability to structure innovative
transactions provides it with a unique competitive advantage in making real
estate investments and enhances its ability to execute its investment strategy.

OPERATING AND FINANCING STRATEGIES

The Company seeks to enhance its operating performance and financial
position by:

o applying well-defined leasing strategies in order to
capture the potential rental growth in the Company's
existing portfolio of Office Properties as occupancy
and rental rates increase with the recovery of the
markets and submarkets in which the Company has
invested;

o achieving a high tenant retention rate at the
Company's Office Properties through quality service,
individualized attention to its tenants and active
preventive maintenance programs;

o empowering management and employing compensation
formulas linked directly with enhanced operating
performance of the Company and its Properties; and

o optimizing the use of debt and other sources of
financing to create a flexible and conservative
capital structure that will allow the Company to
continue its opportunistic investment strategy.

EMPLOYEES

The Company, as a fully integrated real estate company, provides
management, leasing and development services with respect to certain of its
Properties. The Company has more than 475 employees. None of the employees is
covered by collective bargaining agreements.

1997 AND 1998 COMPLETED ACQUISITIONS

Greenway II. On January 17, 1997, the Company acquired Greenway II, a
7-story Class A office building containing approximately 154,000 net rentable
square feet located in the Richardson/Plano submarket of Dallas, Texas.
Constructed in 1985, the Property, including an attached three-level, 560-space
above ground parking structure, was purchased for approximately $18.2 million.

Trammell Crow Center. On February 28, 1997, the Company acquired
substantially all of the economic interest in Trammell Crow Center ("TCC"), a
50-story Class A office building. The Company acquired its interest in TCC
through the purchase of fee simple title to the Property (subject to a ground
lease and the lessee's leasehold estate regarding the building) and two
mortgage notes encumbering the leasehold interests in the land and building,
for approximately $162 million. TCC is located in the cultural and financial
district of the Central Business District ("CBD") submarket of Dallas, Texas.
Constructed in 1984, TCC contains approximately 1.1 million net rentable square
feet with a six-level underground parking structure that accommodates
1,154 cars.

Denver Properties. On February 28, 1997, the Company acquired, in a
single transaction, for an aggregate purchase price of $42.7 million, the
following three office buildings in Denver, Colorado: 44 Cook, 55 Madison and
the AT&T Building. 44 Cook, a 10-story Class A office building constructed in
1984 and containing approximately 124,000 net rentable square feet, and 55
Madison, an eight-story Class A office building constructed in 1982 and
containing approximately 137,000 net rentable square feet, are both located in
the Cherry Creek submarket. 44 Cook and 55 Madison each have underground
parking containing 236 and 171 spaces, respectively, and the buildings also
share a four-level, 396-space above ground parking structure. Constructed in
1982, the AT&T Building, a 15-story office building, contains approximately
185,000 net rentable square feet and is located in the Denver CBD submarket. The
AT&T Building has a four-level, 207-space above ground parking structure.

Carter-Crowley Portfolio. On February 10, 1997, the Company entered into a
contract to acquire for approximately $383.3 million, substantially all of the
assets (the "Carter-Crowley Portfolio") of Carter-Crowley Properties, Inc.
("Carter-Crowley"), an unaffiliated company controlled by the family of Donald
J. Carter. At the time the contract was executed, the Carter-Crowley Portfolio
included 14 office buildings (the "Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio"), with an
aggregate of approximately 3.0 million net rentable square feet, approximately
1,216 acres of commercially zoned, undeveloped land located in the Dallas/Fort
Worth metropolitan area, two multifamily residential properties located in the
Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area, marketable securities, an approximately 12%
limited partner interest in the limited partnership that owns the Dallas
Mavericks NBA basketball franchise, secured and unsecured promissory notes,
certain direct non-operating working interests in various oil and gas wells, an
approximately 35% limited partner interest in two oil and gas limited
partnerships, and certain other assets (including operating businesses).
Pursuant to an agreement between Carter-Crowley and the Company, Carter-Crowley
liquidated approximately $51 million of such assets originally included in the
Carter-Crowley Portfolio, consisting primarily of the marketable securities and
the oil and gas investments, resulting in a reduction in the total purchase
price by a corresponding amount to approximately $332.3 million. On May 9, 1997,
the Company and Crescent Operating, Inc. ("COI") acquired the Carter-Crowley
Portfolio.

The Company acquired certain assets from the Carter-Crowley Portfolio, with
an aggregate purchase price of approximately $306.3 million consisting primarily
of the Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio, the two multi-family residential
properties, the approximately 1,216 acres of undeveloped land and the secured
and unsecured promissory notes relating primarily to the Dallas Mavericks. In
addition to the promissory notes relating to the Dallas Mavericks, the Company
obtained rights from the current holders of the majority interest in the Dallas
Mavericks to a contingent $10 million payment after a new arena is constructed
within a 75-mile radius of Dallas, as well as rights to participate in the
ownership and development of the new arena, certain land located adjacent to the
arena and proposed commercial properties to be developed on the adjacent land.
On December 10, 1997, the City of Dallas and the "Arena Group" (which consists
of four corporations, one of which is to be owned almost entirely by the
Company) entered into the Arena Master Agreement for the construction and
operation of a new arena located adjacent to the Dallas CBD submarket. The
taxpayers of Dallas subsequently approved a bond package that includes the
funding of the City's portion of the new arena costs. Construction of the new
arena is expected to commence prior to the end of 1998. On March 25, 1998, the
Company offered COI the opportunity to participate in the corporation in which
the Company will own the principal economic interest and in the entity that will
participate in ownership and development of the new arena, adjacent land and
commercial properties to be developed on the adjacent land. COI has accepted the
opportunity, subject to negotiation of satisfactory terms.

COI purchased the remainder of the Carter-Crowley Portfolio utilizing cash
contributions and loan proceeds provided to COI by the Company. These assets,
which have an allocated cost of approximately $26 million consisted primarily of
the approximately 12% limited partner interest in the limited partnership that
owns the Dallas Mavericks, an approximately 1% interest in a private venture
capital fund, and a 100% interest in a construction equipment sale, leasing and
services company.

On June 11, 1997, DBL Holdings, Inc. ("DBL"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Operating Partnership was formed. In connection with the formation of DBL,
the Operating Partnership acquired all the voting and non-voting common stock of
DBL, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.5 million and loaned to
DBL approximately $10.1 million. The voting common stock which represented a 5%
effective interest in DBL, was subsequently sold to Gerald W. Haddock, the
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and COI, and John C. Goff,
the Vice Chairman of the Company and COI, for its aggregate original cost of
$126,000. On June 11, 1997, DBL acquired from COI, for approximately $12.6
million, the limited partner interest in the partnership that owns the Dallas
Mavericks.

Behavioral Healthcare Facilities. On June 17, 1997, the Company
acquired substantially all of the real estate assets of the domestic hospital
provider business of Magellan Health Services, Inc. ("Magellan"), as previously
owned and operated by a wholly owned subsidiary of Magellan. The transaction
involved various components, the principal component of which was the
acquisition of the 90 Behavioral Healthcare Facilities (and two additional
behavioral healthcare facilities which subsequently were sold) for approximately
$387.2 million. The Behavioral Healthcare Facilities, which are located in 27
states, are leased to Charter Behavioral Health Systems, LLC ("CBHS"), and its
subsidiaries under a triple-net lease. See Item 2. Properties for a more
detailed discussion.

Woodlands Transaction. On July 31, 1997, the Company and certain
Morgan Stanley funds (the "Morgan Stanley Group") acquired The Woodlands
Corporation, a subsidiary of Mitchell Energy & Development Corp., for
approximately $543 million. In connection with the acquisition, the Company
and the Morgan Stanley Group made equity investments of approximately $80
million and $109 million, respectively. The remaining approximately $354
million and associated acquisition and financing costs of approximately $15
million were financed by the two limited partnerships, described below, through
which the investment was made. The Woodlands Corporation was the principal
owner, developer and operator of The Woodlands, an approximately 27,000-acre,
master-planned residential and commercial community located 27 miles north of
downtown Houston, Texas. The Woodlands which is approximately 50% developed,
includes a shopping mall, retail centers, office buildings, a hospital, club
facilities, a community college, a performance pavilion, and numerous other
amenities.

The acquisition was made through The Woodlands Commercial Properties
Company, L.P. ("Woodlands-CPC"), a limited partnership in which the Morgan
Stanley Group holds a 57.5% interest and the Company holds a 42.5% interest,
and the Woodlands Land Development Company, L.P. ("Woodlands-LDC"), a limited
partnership in which the Morgan Stanley Group holds a 57.5% interest and a
newly formed Residential Development Corporation, The Woodlands Land Company,
Inc. ("WLC"), holds a 42.5% interest. The Company owns all of the non-voting
common stock, representing a 95% economic interest in WLC and, effective
September 29, 1997, COI acquired all of the voting common stock, representing a
5% economic interest, in WLC. The Company is the managing general partner of
Woodlands-CPC and WLC is the managing general partner of Woodlands-LDC.

In connection with the acquisition, Woodlands-CPC acquired The
Woodlands Corporation's 25% general partner interest in the partnerships that
own approximately 1.2 million square feet of The Woodlands Office and Retail
Properties. The Company previously held a 75% limited partner interest in each
of these partnerships and, as a result of the acquisition, the Company's
indirect economic ownership interest in these Properties increased to
approximately 85%. The other assets acquired by Woodlands-CPC include a
364-room executive conference center, a private golf and tennis club, and
approximately 400 acres of land that will support commercial development of
more than 3.5 million square feet of office, multi-family, industrial, retail
and lodging properties. In addition, Woodlands-CPC acquired The Woodlands
Corporation's general partner interests, ranging from one to 50%, in additional
office and retail properties and in multi-family and light industrial
properties. Woodlands-LDC acquired approximately 6,400 acres of land that will
support development of more than 20,000 lots for single-family homes and
approximately 2,500 acres of land that will support more than 21.5 million net
rentable square feet of commercial development. The executive conference
center, including the golf and tennis club and golf courses, is operated and
leased by a wholly owned subsidiary of a partnership owned 42.5% by a
subsidiary of COI and 57.5% by the Morgan Stanley Group.

Desert Mountain. On August 29, 1997, the Company acquired, through a
newly formed Residential Development Corporation, Desert Mountain Development
Corporation ("DMDC"), the majority economic interest in Desert Mountain
Properties Limited Partnership ("DMPLP"), the partnership that owns Desert
Mountain, a master-planned, luxury residential and recreational community in
northern Scottsdale, Arizona. Desert Mountain is an 8,300-acre property that is
zoned for the development of approximately 4,500 residential lots, approximately
1,539 of which have been sold. Desert Mountain also includes The Desert
Mountain Club, a private golf, tennis and fitness club serving over 1,600
members. The partnership interest was acquired from a subsidiary of Mobil Land
Development Corporation for approximately $214 million. The sole limited partner
of DMPLP is Sonora Partners Limited Partnership ("Sonora") whose principal owner
is the original developer of Desert Mountain. A portion of Sonora's interest in
DMPLP is exchangeable for common shares of the Company. Sonora currently owns a
7% economic interest in DMPLP, and DMDC, which is the sole general partner of
DMPLP, owns the remaining 93% economic

interest. The Company owns all of the non-voting common stock, representing a
95% economic interest, and, effective September 29, 1997, COI acquired all of
the voting common stock, representing a 5% economic interest, in DMDC. The
Company also holds a residential development property mortgage on Desert
Mountain.

Houston Center. On September 22, 1997, the Company acquired Houston
Center, an approximately 3.0 million square foot, mixed-use property located in
the CBD submarket of Houston, Texas. Houston Center consists of three high-
rise Class A office buildings aggregating approximately 2.8 million net
rentable square feet, the 399-room Four Seasons- Houston Hotel Property, 114
luxury apartments, approximately 191,000 net rentable square feet of retail
space and approximately 20 acres of undeveloped commercial land. Houston
Center is located on the east side of downtown Houston within walking distance
of the Houston Convention Center and is also near the site of the proposed
downtown major league baseball stadium. Built between 1974 and 1983, the three
Class A office buildings are situated on approximately 5.7 acres. The Four
Seasons-Houston, which was built in 1982, is one of the highest rated luxury
hotels in Houston, with a five-diamond rating from American Automobile
Association. The upscale, luxury Four Seasons Place apartments, which are
located atop the hotel, offer both long-term residential and short-term
corporate units at monthly rental rates ranging from approximately $2.00 to
$4.00 per leased square foot. The 20-acre tract is one of the largest
contiguous underdeveloped parcels in downtown Houston. The Houston Center was
purchased for approximately $327.6 million.

Miami Center. On September 30, 1997, the Company acquired Miami
Center, a 34-story Class A office building containing approximately 783,000 net
rentable square feet located in the CBD submarket of Miami, Florida.
Constructed in 1983, the Property, including an attached nine-level
above-ground parking structure that accommodates 893 cars, was purchased for
approximately $131.5 million.

U.S. Home Building. On October 15, 1997, the Company acquired the
U.S. Home Building, a 21-story Class A office building located in the West
Loop/Galleria suburban office submarket of Houston, Texas, for approximately
$45 million. The U.S. Home Building is located approximately five miles west
of downtown Houston and approximately 2.5 miles west of the Company's Greenway
Plaza properties. Built in 1982, the building is located on approximately 1.9
acres and contains approximately 400,000 net rentable square feet with an
attached twelve-level above-ground parking structure that accommodates 964
cars.

Bank One Center. On October 22, 1997, the Company, together with
affiliates of TrizecHahn Corporation ("Trizec"), acquired Bank One Center, a
60-story Class A office building located in the CBD submarket of Dallas, Texas,
from two unaffiliated entities. The acquisition was made through a newly
formed limited partnership in which the Company and Trizec each own a 50%
interest, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $238 million. Of
the approximately $238 million purchase price, approximately $83 million was
funded through capital contributions of $41.5 million from each of the Company
and Trizec, and the remaining approximately $155 million was funded through two
loans to the newly formed limited partnership provided by The Travelers
Insurance Company. Construction of the office property was completed in 1987.
Bank One Center contains approximately 1.5 million net rentable square feet
with a three-level underground parking structure that accommodates
667 cars and an eight-level off site parking garage that accommodates 885 cars.

Americold Corporation and URS Logistics, Inc. On October 31, 1997,
the Company, through two newly formed subsidiaries (the "Crescent
Subsidiaries"), initially acquired a 40% interest in each of two partnerships,
one of which owns Americold Corporation ("Americold") and one of which owns URS
Logistics, Inc. ("URS"). Vornado Realty Trust ("Vornado") acquired the remaining
60% interest in the partnerships. Americold and URS are the two largest
suppliers of refrigerated warehouse space in the United States.

One of the partnerships acquired all of the common stock of Americold
through the merger of a subsidiary of Vornado into Americold, and the other
partnership acquired all of the common stock of URS through the merger of a
separate subsidiary of Vornado into URS. As a result of the acquisition, the
Americold partnership and the URS partnership became the owners and operators
of approximately 80 refrigerated warehouses, with an aggregate of approximately
394 million cubic feet, that are operated pursuant to arrangements with
national food suppliers.

The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition of Americold and URS
was approximately $1.04 billion (including transaction costs associated with
the acquisition). Of this amount, the purchase price for the acquisition of
Americold was approximately $645 million (consisting of approximately $112
million in cash for the purchase of the equity, approximately $151 million in
cash for the repayment of certain outstanding bonds issued by Americold,
approximately $372 million in retention of debt and approximately $10 million
in transaction costs), and the purchase price for the acquisition of URS was
approximately $399 million (consisting of approximately $173 million in cash
for the purchase of the equity, approximately $211 million in retention of debt
and approximately $15 million in transaction costs.)

On December 30, 1997 and effective October 31, 1997, in order to
permit the Company to continue to satisfy certain REIT qualification
requirements, the Company sold all of the voting common stock, representing a
5% economic interest, in each of the Crescent Subsidiaries to COI. As a
result, the Company currently owns a 38% interest in each of the Americold
partnership and URS partnership, through its ownership of all of the nonvoting
common stock, representing a 95% economic interest, in each of the Crescent
Subsidiaries. See Item 2. Properties for a more detailed discussion.

Fountain Place. On November 7, 1997, the Company acquired Fountain
Place, a 60-story Class A office building located in the CBD submarket of
Dallas, Texas, approximately three blocks west of the Company's Trammell Crow
Center Office Property, for approximately $114 million. Built in 1986, the
building contains approximately 1.2 million net rentable square feet with a
three level underground parking structure that accommodates approximately 899
cars as well as surface parking that accommodates 343 cars.

Ventana Country Inn. On December 19, 1997, the Company acquired for
approximately $30 million the Ventana Country Inn, a 62-room resort Hotel
Property located in Big Sur, California. The Ventana Country Inn is situated
on a 243-acre wooded site in the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains
overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The purchase also included an adjacent 72-acre
parcel of undeveloped land offering the potential for single-family residential
development. A subsidiary of COI will market and operate the Ventana Country
Inn jointly with the Company's Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa Hotel Property pursuant
to a lease with the Company.

Energy Centre. On December 22, 1997, the Company acquired Energy
Centre, a 39-story Class A office building located in the CBD submarket of New
Orleans, Louisiana. Built in 1984, the building contains approximately 762,000
net rentable square feet with a six-level attached, above-ground parking
structure that accommodates approximately 520 cars. Energy Centre was acquired
for approximately $75 million.

Austin Centre. On January 23, 1998, the Company acquired Austin
Centre, a mixed-use property developed in 1986, including a Class A office
building containing approximately 344,000 net rentable square feet, the
314-room Omni Austin Hotel Property and 61 apartments. The Property is located
in the CBD submarket of Austin, Texas, four blocks from the state capitol
building and was acquired for approximately $96.4 million. A subsidiary of COI
will oversee the marketing and operations of the Omni Austin Hotel Property
pursuant to a participating triple-net lease with the Company.

Post Oak Central. On February 13, 1998, the Company acquired Post Oak
Central, a three-building Class A office complex located in the West
Loop/Galleria suburban office submarket of Houston, Texas. Built between 1974
and 1981, the three Office Properties contain approximately 1.3 million net
rentable square feet with three multi-level detached, but connected via covered
walkway or tunnel, above-ground parking structures that in total accommodate
approximately 4,400 cars. Post Oak Central was acquired for approximately
$155.3 million.

Washington Harbour. On February 25, 1998, the Company acquired
Washington Harbour, a Class A office complex, consisting of a five-story office
building and an eight-story office building (the top three stories of which
comprise 35 luxury condominiums, which were not included in the purchase),
located in the Georgetown submarket of Washington, D.C. Built in 1986, the two
Office Properties contain approximately 536,000 net rentable square feet with a
two-level attached, below ground parking structure that accommodates
613 cars. Washington Harbour was purchased for approximately $161 million.

PENDING INVESTMENT

Station Casinos, Inc. On January 16, 1998, the Company entered into an
agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which Station
Casinos, Inc. ("Station") will merge (the "Merger") with and into the Company.
Station is an established multi-jurisdictional casino/hotel company that owns
and operates, through wholly owned subsidiaries, six distinctly themed
casino/hotel properties, four of which are located in Las Vegas, Nevada, one of
which is located in Kansas City, Missouri and one of which is located in St.
Charles, Missouri. As a result of the Merger, the Company will acquire the
real estate and other assets of Station, except to the extent operating assets
are transferred immediately prior to the Merger, as described below.

As part of the transactions associated with the Merger, it is
currently anticipated that certain operating assets and the employees of
Station will be transferred to a limited liability company (the "Station
Lessee") immediately prior to the Merger. The Station Lessee will be owned 50%
by COI or entity designated by the Company, 24.9% by an entity owned by three
of the existing directors of Station (including its Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer) and 25.1% by a separate entity owned by other members
of Station management. The Station Lessee will operate the six casino/hotel
properties currently operated by Station pursuant to a lease with the Company.
The lease will have a 10-year term, with one five-year renewal option. The
lease will provide for base and percentage rent but the amount of the rent has
not yet been determined. The Station Lessee will be required to maintain the
properties in good condition at its own expense. The Company will establish
and maintain a reserve account to be used under certain circumstances for the
purchase of furniture, fixtures and equipment with respect to the properties.
The Company will also enter into a Right of First Refusal and Noncompetition
Agreement with the Station Lessee, pursuant to which each party will grant
certain rights to the other party to participate in future investment in and
operation of casino/hotel properties and will agree not to invest in or operate
any such properties without the participation or consent of the other party.

In order to effect the Merger, the Company will issue 0.466 common
shares for each share of common stock of Station (including each restricted
share) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger. In
addition, the Company will create a new class of preferred shares which will be
exchanged, upon consummation of the Merger, for the shares of $3.50 Convertible
Preferred Stock of Station outstanding immediately prior to the Merger. The new
class of preferred shares will have equal priority with the Company's Series A
preferred shares as to rights to receive distributions and to participate in
distributions or payments upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company.

The total value of the Merger transaction, including the Company's
issuance of common shares and preferred shares in connection with consummation
of the Merger and the Company's assumption and/or refinancing of approximately
$919 million in existing indebtedness of Station and its subsidiaries, is
approximately $1.75 billion.

In connection with the Merger, the Company also has agreed to purchase
up to $115 million of a new class of convertible preferred stock of Station
prior to consummation of the Merger. The purchase will be made in increments,
or in a single transaction, upon call by Station subject to certain conditions,
whether or not the Merger is consummated.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions, including
Station's receipt of the approval of two-thirds of the holders of both its
common stock and its preferred stock, expiration or termination of the waiting
period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1974, and the
receipt by the Company and certain of its officers, trust managers and
affiliates of the approvals required under applicable gaming laws. The Company
anticipates that the Merger and the associated transactions will be consummated
in the fourth quarter of 1998, although there can be no assurances that the
Merger will be consummated on the terms described above.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

On December 19, 1997, the Company's line of credit (the "Credit
Facility") from a consortium of banks led by BankBoston, N.A. ("BankBoston")
was increased to $550 million. The Credit Facility is unsecured and expires in
June 2000.

On February 13, 1998, the Company increased the maximum borrowings
available under its bridge loan with BankBoston to $250 million. The increase
in the maximum borrowings available and the additional borrowings thereunder
were made in connection with the funding of the purchase price of Post Oak
Central. The bridge loan is unsecured and expires in March 1998. The Company
has a commitment with BankBoston to extend the term to May 31, 1998, with the
same interest rate.

TAX STATUS

The Company elected under Section 856(c) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to be taxed as a REIT under the Code
beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 1994. As a REIT for federal
income tax purposes, the Company generally is not subject to federal income tax
on income that it distributes to its shareholders. Under the Code, REITs are
subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including a
requirement that they distribute at least 95% of their taxable income
currently. If the Company fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any
taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax (including any
applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate
rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes for four years following the year during which
qualification is lost. Even if the Company qualifies as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes, it may be subject to certain federal, state and local
taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise tax on its
undistributed income. In addition, certain of its subsidiaries are subject to
federal, state and local income taxes.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company and its properties are subject to a variety of federal and
state environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, including The
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980,
as amended, the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, the
Federal Clean Water Act, the Federal Clean Air Act and the Toxic Substances
Control Act. The application of these laws to a specific property owned by the
Company will be dependent on a variety of property-specific circumstances,
including the former uses to which the property was put and the building
materials used at each property. The Company believes that any environmental
liability that may be associated with its Properties does not present a material
risk to its financial condition or results of operations.

Under the environmental laws set forth above, a current or previous
owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up
certain hazardous or toxic substances, asbestos-containing materials, or
petroleum product releases at the property, and may be held liable to a
governmental entity or the third parties for property damage and for
investigation and cleanup costs incurred by such parties in connection with the
contamination whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible
for, the contamination. In addition, some environmental laws create a lien on
the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs it
incurs in connection with the contamination. The presence of contamination or
the failure to remediate contaminations may adversely affect the owner's
ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as
collateral. The owner or operator of a site may be liable under common law to
third parties for damages and injuries resulting from environmental
contamination emanating from the site. Such costs or liabilities could exceed
the value of the affected real estate. The Company has not been notified by
any governmental authority of any non-compliance, liability or other claim in
connection with any of its properties, and the Company is not aware of any
other environmental condition with respect to any of the properties that
management believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, assets or results of operation. Prior to the Company's acquisition
of its Properties, independent environmental consultants conducted or updated
Phase I environmental assessments (which generally do not involve invasive
techniques such as soil or ground water sampling) on the Properties. None of
these Phase I assessments or updates revealed any materially adverse
environmental condition not known to the





9
12
Company or the independent consultants preparing the assessments. There can be
no assurances, however, that environmental liabilities have not developed since
such environmental assessments were prepared, or that future uses or conditions
(including, without limitation, changes in applicable environmental laws and
regulations) will not result in imposition of environmental liability.

COMPETITION

The Company believes that it does not have a direct competitor with its
Office Properties considered as a group. The Company's Office Properties,
primarily Class A properties located within the Southwest, individually compete
against a wide range of property owners and developers, including property
management companies and other REITs, that offer space in similar types of
office properties (for example, Class A and Class B properties). A number of
these owners and developers may own more than one property. The number and type
of competing properties in a particular market or submarket could have a
material effect on the Company's ability to lease space or maintain or increase
occupancy at its Office Properties or at any newly acquired properties.
Management believes, however, that the quality service and individualized
attention that the Company offers its tenants, together with its active
preventive maintenance program and physical building location, within markets,
enhance the Company's ability to attract and retain tenants for its Office
Properties. In addition, the Company owns 17% and 12% of the Class A and Class B
office space, respectively, in 29 and five submarkets in which the Company owns
Class A and Class B Office Properties, respectively. Management believes that
ownership of a significant percentage of office space in a particular market
offers the Company the opportunity to reduce property operating expenses payable
by the Company and its tenants, enhancing the Company's ability to attract and
retain tenants and potentially resulting in increases in Company net revenues.
For example, during 1997, the Company successfully negotiated bulk contracts for
services such as cleaning and elevator maintenance in its core markets of
Dallas, Houston and Denver, resulting in discounts of approximately 5% to 10%
from contracts previously in place.

Each of the Behavioral Healthcare Facilities competes with other
hospitals, some of which are larger and have greater financial resources. The
Behavioral Healthcare Facilities frequently draw patients from areas outside
their immediate area and therefore may, in certain markets, compete with both
local and distant hospitals. The Behavioral Healthcare Facilities compete not
only with other psychiatric hospitals, but also with psychiatric units in
general hospitals, and outpatient services provided by the Behavioral Healthcare
Facilities may compete with private practicing mental health professionals. The
Company believes that its primary competitors are other operators that operate a
large number of psychiatric beds in multiple states, such as Behavioral
Healthcare Corp., Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp., Universal Health Services,
Ramsey Health Care and Healthcare America.

The competitive position of a Behavioral Healthcare Facility is, to a
significant degree, dependent upon the number and quality of physicians who
practice at the hospital and who are members of its medical staff. In recent
years, an increasing percentage of the Behavioral Healthcare Facilities'
revenues have come from contracts with preferred provider organizations
("PPOs"), health maintenance organizations ("HMOs") and other managed care
programs. Such contracts normally involve a discount from the hospital's
established charges, but provide a base of patient referrals. As a result of
the increasing importance of PPOs, HMOs and other managed care programs, the
competitive position of the Behavioral Healthcare Facilities is increasingly
affected by their ability to win contracts from these organizations. The
importance of obtaining contracts with PPOs, HMOs and other managed care
companies varies from market to market, depending on the individual market
strength of the managed care companies.

Certificate of need laws in certain states regulate the Behavioral
Healthcare Facilities, and their competitors' ability to build new hospitals and
to expand existing hospital facilities and services. These laws provide some
protection from competition, as their intent is to prevent duplication of
services. In most cases, these state laws do not restrict the ability of the
Behavioral Healthcare Facilities or their competitors to offer new outpatient
services.

The Company's Hotel Properties in Denver and Albuquerque are convention
center hotels that compete against other convention center hotels, which are
owned by a variety of owners, including national hotel chains and local owners.
The Company believes, however, that its destination health and fitness resorts
are unique properties that do not have direct competitors. In addition, the
Company believes that each of the remaining Hotel Properties experiences little
to no direct competition due to its high replacement cost and unique concept or
location. The Hotel Properties do compete, although to a limited extent,
against business class hotels or middle-market resorts in their geographic areas
as well as against luxury resorts nationwide and around the world.

13
At the time that the Company made the Refrigerated Warehouse
Investment, the Refrigerated Warehouse Companies were the two largest owners and
operators of refrigerated warehouse space in the country in terms of cubic feet
of storage space owned. Industry sources indicate that, in 1997, the
Refrigerated Warehouse Companies owned and operated an aggregate of
approximately 25% of total refrigerated warehouse space. Among other owners and
operators of refrigerated warehouse space, no other owner and operator owned or
operated more than 8% of total refrigerated warehouse space. As a result, the
Company believes that the Refrigerated Warehouse Companies do not have any
competitors of comparable size. The Refrigerated Warehouse Companies operate in
an environment in which competition is national, regional and local in nature
and in which the breadth of service, warehouse locations, customer mix,
warehouse size, service performance and price are the principal competitive
factors. Since frozen food manufacturers and distributors incur transportation
costs which typically are significantly greater than warehousing costs, breadth
of total logistics services and warehouse location are major competitive
factors. In addition, in certain locations, customers depend upon pooling
shipments, which involves combining their products with the products of others
destined for the same markets. In these cases, the mix of customers in a
warehouse can significantly influence the cost of delivering products to
markets. The size of a warehouse is important because large customers prefer
to have all of the products needed to serve a given market in a single location
to have the flexibility to increase storage in that single location during
seasonal peaks. If there are several warehouse locations which satisfy a
customer mix and size requirements, the Company believes that customers
generally will select a warehouse facility based upon the types of services
available, service performance and price.

The Company's Residential Development Properties compete against a
variety of other housing alternatives in each of their respective areas. These
alternatives include other planned developments, pre-existing single-family
detached housing, condominiums, townhouses and non-owner occupied housing, such
as luxury apartments. Management believes that The Woodlands and Desert
Mountain, representing the Company's most significant investments in Residential
Development Properties, contain certain features that provide competitive
advantages to these developments. For example, The Woodlands, which is an
approximately 27,000-acre, master-planned residential and commercial community
north of Houston, Texas, is unique among developments in the Houston area
because it functions as a self-contained community. Amenities contained in the
development, which are not contained within other local developments, include a
shopping mall, retail centers, office buildings, a hospital, a community
college, places of worship, 60 parks, two man-made lakes and a performance
pavilion. Desert Mountain, a luxury residential and recreational community in
Scottsdale, Arizona, which also offers four 18-hole golf courses and tennis
courts, does not have any significant direct competitors due in part to the
types of amenities that it offers. Substantially all of the remaining
residential lots for the four developments which traditionally have competed
with Desert Mountain were sold during 1997. As a result, these developments
have become resale communities that no longer compete with Desert Mountain in
any significant respect.

The Retail Properties compete against other commercial properties in
each of their respective areas, including shopping malls, free-standing retail
operations and convenience stores.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

OFFICE PROPERTIES

The Company's Office Properties are located primarily in Dallas/Fort
Worth and Houston, Texas. As of March 25, 1998, the Company's Office Properties
in Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston represent an aggregate of approximately 72% of
its office portfolio based on total net rentable square feet (40% and 32% for
Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston, respectively).

OFFICE PROPERTIES TABLES

The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 1997, certain
information about the Company's Office Properties after giving effect to the
acquisitions of Properties completed after December 31, 1997. Based on
annualized base rental revenues from office leases in place as of December 31,
1997 and after giving effect to the acquisitions of Properties completed after
December 31, 1997, no single tenant would have accounted for more than 4% of the
Company's total annualized Office Property rental revenues for 1997.

MARKET INFORMATION

Management believes that its Office Properties reflect the Company's
strategy to invest in premier assets within markets that have significant
potential for rental growth. The Company has analyzed demographic and economic
data to focus on markets it expects to benefit from significant internal
employment growth as well as corporate relocations. After identifying and
analyzing attractive regional markets, the Company selects submarkets which the
Company believes will be the major beneficiaries of this projected growth.
Management believes that the most attractive submarkets for office investment
are those that integrate a premier office environment with quality of life
features including: affordable residential housing; an environment generally
well protected from crime; effective transportation systems; a significant
concentration of retailing alternatives; and cultural centers, entertainment
attractions and recreational facilities. Other factors considered by the
Company in selecting the submarkets include proximity to major airports and the
relative aggressiveness of local governments providing tax and other incentives
designed to favor business.

Within these submarkets, the Company has focused on premier properties
that management believes are able to attract and retain the highest quality
tenants and command premium rents. In addition, several of the
Properties benefit from significant "over-improvement" (improvements beyond
what currently could be justified by expected economic returns) made by prior
owners or developers. These over-improvements, which should not materially
increase the future operating cost of the Properties, include various
amenities, use of expensive materials, and extensive landscaping. Such premier
properties also tend to be more stable in downward property cycles. Consistent
with its investment strategies, the Company seeks situations where it can
acquire properties that have strong economic returns based on in-place tenancy
and have a dominant position within the submarket due to quality and/or
location. Accordingly, management's investment strategy not only demands
acceptable current cash flow return on invested capital, but also considers
long-term cash flow growth prospects.

The demographic conditions, economic conditions and trends (population
growth and employment growth) favoring the markets in which the Company has
invested are projected to continue to be at or above the national average, as
illustrated in the following table.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE PROPERTIES

BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE LEASES

On June 17, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the real
estate assets of the domestic hospital provider business of Magellan, as
previously owned and operated by a wholly owned subsidiary of Magellan. The
transaction involved various components, the principal component of which was
the acquisition of the 90 Behavioral Healthcare Facilities (and two additional
behavioral healthcare facilities which subsequently were sold) for approximately
$387.2 million. The Behavioral Healthcare Facilities, which are located in 27
states, are leased to CBHS, and its subsidiaries under a triple-net lease. CBHS
is a Delaware limited liability company, formed to operate the Behavioral
Healthcare Facilities, owned 50% by a subsidiary of Magellan and 50% by COI.
The lease requires the payment of annual minimum rent in the amount of
approximately $41.7 million for the period ending June 16, 1998, increasing in
each subsequent year during the 12- year term at a 5% compounded annual rate.
All maintenance and capital improvement costs are the responsibility of CBHS
during the term of the lease. In addition, the obligation of CBHS, pursuant to
a franchise agreement, to pay an approximately $78.2 million franchise fee to
Magellan and one of its subsidiaries, as franchisor, is subordinated to the
obligation of CBHS to pay annual minimum rent to the Company. The franchisor
does not have the right to terminate the franchise agreement due to any
nonpayment of the franchise fee as a result of the subordination of the
franchise fee to the annual minimum rent. The lease is designed to provide the
Company with a secure, above-average return on its investment as a result of the
priority of annual minimum rent to the franchise fee and the initial amount and
annual escalation in the lease payments.

On March 5, 1998, COI entered into a definitive agreement to acquire
Magellan's 50% interest in CBHS in exchange for $30 million in common stock of
COI. In a related transaction, CBHS executed a definitive agreement to purchase
from Magellan, for approximately $280 million, certain assets and intellectual
property rights used by Magellan to supply franchise services to CBHS. The
agreement provides for the elimination of the franchise fee that is payable by
CBHS to Magellan. The transactions are subject to a number of conditions,
including customary closing conditions, a condition that CBHS obtain funds
sufficient to finance the purchase and certain regulatory conditions. The
transactions, as structured will not affect the arrangements pursuant to which
CBHS leases the Behavioral Healthcare Facilities from the Company.

The Behavioral Healthcare Facilities are located in well-populated
urban and suburban locations. Most of the Behavioral Healthcare Facilities
offer a full continuum of behavioral care in their service area, including
inpatient hospitalization, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient
services and, in some markets, residential treatment services. The Behavioral
Healthcare Facilities provide structured and intensive treatment programs for
mental health and alcohol and drug dependency disorders in children, adolescents
and adults. A significant portion of admissions are provided by referrals from
former patients, local marketplace advertising, managed care organizations and
physicians. The Behavioral Healthcare Facilities work closely with mental
health professionals, non-psychiatric physicians, emergency rooms and community
agencies that come in contact with individuals who may need treatment for mental
illness or substance abuse.

The Behavioral Healthcare Facilities in the past have been, and in the
future may be, adversely affected by factors influencing the entire psychiatric
hospital industry. The industry is subject to governmental regulation in
various respects. Factors which may affect the operations and successful
results of operations of the Behavioral Healthcare Facilities include (i) the
imposition of more stringent length of stay and admission criteria by payers;
(ii) the failure of reimbursement rates received from certain payers that
reimburse on a per diem or other discounted basis to offset increases in the
cost of providing services; (iii) an increase in the percentage of business that
the Behavioral Healthcare Facilities derive from payers that reimburse on a per
diem or other discounted basis; (iv) a trend toward higher deductibles and
co-insurance for individual patients; and (v) pricing pressure related to
increasing rate of claims denials by third party payers. In addition to these
regulations, the recently adopted National Mental Health Parity Act of 1997
potentially benefits the industry by imposing an obligation for health insurance
issuers and group health plans to place mental health benefits on equal footing
with all other medical benefits. Title I of this Act amends the Code to impose
on an issuer or group health plan a tax equal to 25% of a health plan's premiums
received during the calendar year if the plan imposes limitations or financial
requirements on the coverage of benefits relating to certain mental health
conditions unless similar limitations or requirements also are imposed on
coverage of benefits with respect to conditions other than mental health.

INDUSTRY INFORMATION

In an era of cost-containment and the reduction of dollars available
for care, behavioral health providers have focused attention on developing
treatment approaches that respond to payers' increasing demands for shorter
stays, lower costs, and expanded access to care. Changes in the mix of
services, the prices of services, and the intensity of service are all part of
this response. These changes have also been bolstered by a rapidly expanding
science base, improved medications management, and the growing availability of
non-hospital treatment settings in more and more communities that help to make
it possible to manage complex and severe illnesses in less intensive treatment
settings. One of the effects that the behavioral healthcare industry is
experiencing is an increasing percentage of non-inpatient care. According to
the National Association of Psychiatric Health Systems 1997 Annual Survey
Report, nearly one in four admissions in 1996 was to a service other than
inpatient hospitalization, compared to just one in ten admissions in 1992.
Although non-inpatient services are rapidly growing, total inpatient admissions
have increased also. In general, inpatient and non-inpatient admissions are
increasing, but average length of stay and care costs are decreasing.

Due to these changes in the behavioral healthcare industry, a
hospital's position relative to its competitors has been affected by its
ability to obtain contracts with HMOs, PPOs and other managed care plans for
the provision of health care services. Although such contracts generally
provide for discounted services, pre-admission certification and concurrent
length of stay reviews, they also provide a strong patient referral base. The
importance of entering into contracts with HMOs, PPOs and other managed care
companies varies from market to market and depends upon the market strength of
the particular managed care company.

HOTEL PROPERTIES

HOTEL LEASES

Because of the Company's status as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes, it does not operate the Hotel Properties directly. The Company has
leased the Hotel Properties to subsidiaries of COI (collectively, the "Hotel
Lessees") pursuant to nine separate leases. Under the leases, each having a
term of 10 years, the Hotel Lessees have assumed the rights and obligations of
the property owner under the respective management agreement with the hotel
operators, as well as the obligation to pay all property taxes and other
charges against the property. As part of each of the lease agreements for
eight of the Hotel Properties, the Company has agreed to fund all capital
expenditures relating to furniture, fixtures and equipment reserves required
under the applicable management agreements. The only exception is Canyon
Ranch-Tucson, in which the hotel lessee owns all furniture, fixtures and
equipment associated with the property and will fund all related capital
expenditures. Each of the leases provides for the payment by the lessee of the
Hotel Property of (i) base rent, with periodic rent increases, (ii) percentage
rent based on a percentage of gross hotel receipts or gross room revenues, as
applicable, above a specified amount, and (iii) a percentage of gross food and
beverage revenues above a specified amount for certain Hotel Properties.

HOTEL MARKET INFORMATION

The U.S. hotel industry is experiencing a resurgence in profitability
from its downturn in the early 1990's. Increased demand for luxury and
destination resort hotel rooms has been met with very limited increase in the
supply of such rooms, resulting in increasing occupancies and room rates.
According to Smith Travel Research, average occupancies for hotel rooms rose
from 62.7% in 1992 to 64.6% in 1997. Average hotel room rental rates grew
6.1%, 6.3%, and 4.9%, in 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. Within the
luxury and upscale segments of the industry, average occupancy increased
approximately 7.4% and 2.9%, respectively, between 1992 and 1997, while average
room rental rates increased approximately 32.0% and 25.0%, respectively, during
the same period.

Business and convention travel accounts for about two-thirds of room
demand and has risen along with the improving economy and increased corporate
profits. Domestic leisure travel has also increased, especially among the
"baby boomers" who are not only at the prime age for leisure travel but also
have a greater tendency to travel than previous generations. A healthier, more
active senior population is also contributing to the increase in travel.

With the aging of the "baby boomer" generation and the growing
interest in quality of life activities, the resort/spa industry also is
experiencing significant growth in the United States.

The average annual growth rates in REVPAR, from 1992 through 1997, for
the upscale and luxury hotel segments were 5.2% and 7.2%, respectively,
according to Smith Travel Research. This demand comes not only from the
business and convention sector, but also from the leisure traveler who
vacations increasingly at higher-end hotels.

The following table sets forth hotel REVPAR by price segment for the
years 1992 through 1997.

REFRIGERATED WAREHOUSE PROPERTIES

On October 31, 1997, the Company, through the Crescent Subsidiaries,
initially acquired a 40% interest in each of two partnerships one of which owns
Americold and one of which owns URS. Vornado acquired the remaining 60% interest
in the partnerships. The Refrigerated Warehouse Companies are the two largest
suppliers of refrigerated warehouse space in the United States.

One of the partnerships acquired all of the common stock of Americold
through the merger of a subsidiary of Vornado into Americold, and the other
partnership acquired all of the common stock of URS through the merger of a
separate subsidiary of Vornado into URS. As a result of the acquisition, the
Americold partnership and the URS partnership became the owners and operators
of approximately 80 refrigerated warehouses, with an aggregate of approximately
394 million cubic feet, that are operated pursuant to arrangements with
national food suppliers.

On December 30, 1997 and effective October 31, 1997, in order to
permit the Company to continue to satisfy certain REIT qualification
requirements, the Company sold all of the voting common stock, representing a
5% economic interest, in each of the Crescent Subsidiaries to COI. As a
result, the Company currently owns a 38% interest in each of the Americold
partnership and URS partnership, through its ownership of all of the nonvoting
common stock, representing a 95% economic interest, in each of the Crescent
Subsidiaries.

Under the terms of the existing partnership agreements for each of the
partnerships, Vornado has the right to make all decisions relating to the
management and operation of the partnerships other than certain major decisions
that require the approval of both the Company and Vornado. The partnership
agreement for each of the partnerships provides for a buy-sell arrangement upon
a failure of the Company and Vornado to agree on any of the specified major
decisions which, until November 1, 2000, can be exercised only by Vornado.
Major decisions include approval of the annual capital and operating budgets
for each partnership, decisions to deviate from the budgets by 10% or more and
additional capital contributions. If the Company and Vornado fail to reach
agreement on any of the specified major decisions prior to November 1, 2000,
Vornado may purchase the Company's interest at cost (less distributions) plus a
10% per annum return. During the seven years thereafter, Vornado may set a
price for the buy-sell arrangement, and the Company then may elect either to
sell its interest to Vornado, or to purchase Vornado's interest, at the
designated price. After October 31, 2007, either the Company or Vornado may
set a price for the buy-sell arrangement, and the party who did not set the
price may elect either to sell its interest to the other party, or to purchase
the other party's interest, at the designated price. The exercise of the
buy-sell arrangement in one partnership requires the purchaser under the
arrangement to purchase the interest of the selling party in the other
partnership on the same terms.

The parties have not yet determined certain matters relating to the
future ownership structure and operations of Americold and URS, including the
identification and division of the assets that will continue to be owned by one
of the partnerships and those that may be owned by one or more other entities
formed to conduct the business operations currently conducted by Americold and
URS, and the nature and terms of any lease that may be entered into between the
operating entity and the owner of the warehouses.

SERVICES

The Refrigerated Warehouse Companies provide frozen food manufacturers
with refrigerated warehousing and transportation management services.
Refrigerated warehouses consist of production and distribution facilities.
Production facilities differ from distribution facilities in that they typically
serve one or a small number of customers located nearby. These customers store
large quantities of processed or partially processed products in the facility
until they are further processed or shipped to the next stage of production or
distribution. Distribution facilities primarily serve customers who store a
wide variety of finished products to support shipment to end-users, such as food
retailers and food service companies, in a specific geographic market.

Transportation management services offered include freight routing,
dispatching, freight rate negotiation, backhaul coordination, freight bill
auditing, network flow management, order consolidation and distribution channel
assessment. The Refrigerated Warehouse Companies' temperature-controlled
logistics expertise and access to both frozen food warehouses and distribution
channels enable its customers to respond quickly and efficiently to time-
sensitive orders from distributors and retailers.

CUSTOMERS

Customers consist primarily of national, regional and local frozen
food manufacturers, distributors, retailers and food service organizations
including Con-Agra, Inc., H.J. Heinz & Co., Kraft Foods and Tyson Foods.

offering at a price of $12.50 per share in May 1994. For each calendar quarter
indicated, the following table reflects the high and low sales prices for the
common shares and the distributions declared by the Company with respect to
each such quarter. All information provided in the table below has been
adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split effected in the form of 100%
share dividend paid by the Company on March 26, 1997 to shareholders of record
on March 20, 1997.

---------------------------

(1) In addition to the regular quarterly distribution, the Company made a
one-time distribution of shares of common stock of COI, valued at $.99 per
share, which was distributed to the shareholders of the Company and the
partners of the Operating Partnership on a pro rata basis, in a spin-off
effective June 12, 1997.




25
28
As of March 25, 1998, there were approximately 477 holders of record
of the common shares.

DISTRIBUTION POLICY

On September 10, 1997, the Company announced a 25% increase in the
quarterly distribution, increasing the quarterly distribution on its common
shares from $.305 per share to $.38 per share. The higher distribution rate
commenced with the Company's distribution for the third quarter of 1997, which
was paid on November 4, 1997, to shareholders of record as of October 16, 1997.

The Company's current quarterly distribution is $.38 per common share,
an indicated annualized distribution of $1.52 per common share.

Distributions on the 8,000,000 6-3/4% Series A Convertible Cumulative
Preferred Shares (the "Series A Preferred Shares") issued by the Company in
February 1998 are payable at the rate of $1.6875 per annum per Series A
Preferred Share, prior to distributions on the common shares.

The actual results of operations of the Company and the amounts
actually available for distribution will be affected by a number of factors,
including revenues received from the Properties and any additional properties





26
29
acquired in the future, the operating and interest expenses of the Company, the
ability of tenants to meet their rent obligations, general leasing activity in
the markets in which the Office Properties and Retail Properties are located,
consumer preferences relating to the Hotel Properties, the general condition of
the United States economy, federal, state and local taxes payable by the
Company, capital expenditure requirements and the adequacy of reserves. In
addition, the Credit Facility limits distributions to the partners of the
Operating Partnership for any four successive quarters to an amount that will
not exceed 90% of funds from operations for such period and 100% of funds
available for distribution for such period.

Future distributions by the Company will be at the discretion of the
Board of Trust Managers. The Board of Trust Managers has indicated that it will
review the adequacy of the Company's distribution rate on a quarterly basis.

Under the Code, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and
operational requirements, including the requirement to distribute at least 95%
of taxable income. Pursuant to this requirement, the Company was required to
distribute $103.9 million and $41.8 million for 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Actual distributions by the Company were $140.8 million and $73.4 million for
1997 and 1996, respectively.

Distributions by the Company to the extent of its current and
accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes generally will
be taxable to a shareholder as ordinary dividend income. Distributions in
excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a
nontaxable reduction of the shareholder's basis in such shareholder's common
shares, to the extent thereof, and thereafter as taxable gain. Distributions
that are treated as a reduction of the shareholder's basis in its common shares
will have the effect of deferring taxation until the sale of the shareholder's
shares. The Company has determined that, for federal income tax purposes,
38.3% of quarterly distributions made in 1996 and 25.7 % of quarterly
distributions made in 1997 represented a return of capital to shareholders.
Given the dynamic nature of the Company's acquisition strategy and the extent
to which any future acquisitions would alter this calculation, no assurances
can be given regarding what portion, if any, of distributions in 1998 or
subsequent years will constitute a return of capital for federal income tax
purposes.

NOTES:

(1) Funds from Operations ("FFO"), based on the revised definition adopted by
the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") and as used herein, means net income (loss)
(determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles),
excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property,
plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after
adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. For a more
detailed definition and description of FFO, see Item 7. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Historical Results of
Operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
HISTORICAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
"Selected Financial Data" and the financial statements and notes thereto,
appearing elsewhere in this report. Historical results and percentage
relationships set forth in "Selected Financial Data", the "Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data" and this section should not be taken as indicative of
future operations of the Company.

COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996

Total revenues increased $238.5 million, or 114.2%, to $447.4 million
for the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $208.9 million for the year
ended December 31, 1996. The increase in Office and Retail Property revenues of
$181.1 million is primarily attributable to: a) the acquisition of 26 Office
Properties and one Retail Property during 1997, which resulted in $79.5 million
of incremental revenues; b) the fact that 23 Office Properties and four Retail
Properties acquired during 1996 contributed revenues for a full year in 1997 as
compared to a partial year in 1996, which resulted in $91.6 million of
incremental revenues; and c) an increase in Office and Retail Property revenues
of $10.0 million from the 32 Office and Retail Properties owned prior to January
1, 1996, which is primarily due to rental rate increases at these Properties.
The increase in Hotel Property revenues of $17.5 million is primarily
attributable to: a) the acquisition of two Hotel Properties during 1997, which
resulted in $2.1 million of incremental revenues; b) the fact that three Hotel
Properties acquired during 1996 contributed revenues for a full year in 1997 as
compared to a partial year in 1996, which resulted in $14.5 million of
incremental revenues; and c) an increase in Hotel Property revenues of $.9
million from the three Hotel Properties owned prior to January 1, 1996. The
increase in Behavioral Healthcare Facilities revenues of $29.8 million is
attributable to the acquisition of the facilities in June 1997. The increase in
interest and other income of $10.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1997,
is primarily attributable to: a) the $127.8 million increase in notes receivable
primarily as a result of the acquisition of certain notes included in the
Carter-Crowley Portfolio, loans to Crescent Operating, Inc. ("COI"), loans to
Desert Mountain Properties Limited Partnership ("DMPLP") and the acquisition of
a note receivable secured by a hotel property; and b) interest earned on
available cash from the April 1997 Offering (as defined below).

Total expenses increased $171.3 million, or 103.9%, to $336.1 million
for the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $164.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 1996. The increase in rental property operating expenses of
$85.1 million is primarily attributable to: a) the acquisition of 26 Office
Properties and one Retail Property during 1997, which resulted in $38.3 million
of incremental expenses; b) the fact that 23 Office Properties and four Retail
Properties acquired during 1996 contributed expenses for a full year in 1997 as
compared to a partial year in 1996, which resulted in $40.8 million of
incremental expenses; and c) an increase in expenses of $5.5 million from the 32
Office and Retail Properties owned prior to January 1, 1996. Depreciation and
amortization expense increased $33.9 million due primarily to the acquisitions
of Office and Retail Properties, Hotel Properties and Behavioral Healthcare
Facilities. The increase in interest expense of $43.5 million is primarily
attributable to: (i) $6.9 million of interest payable under LaSalle Note III,
which was assumed in the acquisition of the Greenway Plaza Portfolio in October
1996; (ii) $.8 million of interest payable to Nomura Asset Capital Corporation
under the Nomura Funding VI Note, which was assumed in December 1996; (iii) $2.0
million of interest payable under the financing arrangement with Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance Company, which was in place as of December 1996; (iv) $1.0
million of interest payable under LaSalle Note II secured by the Funding II
properties; (v) $10.0 million of interest payable under various short-term notes
with BankBoston, N.A. ("BankBoston") with principal amounts ranging between $150
million and $235 million, which were entered into from June through December
1997; (vi) $14.0 million of incremental interest payable due to draws under the
Credit Facility (average balance outstanding for the year ended December 31,
1997 and 1996 was $216.8 million and $64.3 million, respectively); (vii) $7.7
million of interest payable under the Notes due 2002 and Notes due 2007, which
were issued in a private offering in September 1997 (the "September 1997 Notes
Offering"); and (viii) $1.1 million of interest payable under the Chase
Manhattan Note, which was assumed in the acquisition of Fountain Place in
November 1997. All of



30

33


these financing arrangements (the terms of which are described in more detail
below under "Liquidity and Capital Resources"), were used to fund acquisitions.
The increase in corporate general and administrative expense of $8.2 million is
primarily attributable to incremental costs associated with the operation of the
Company as a result of the acquisition of additional Properties and to incentive
compensation paid to the Company's executive officers.

COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

Total revenues increased $78.9 million, or 60.7%, to $208.9 million for
the year ended December 31, 1996, as compared to $130.0 million for the year
ended December 31, 1995. The increase in Office and Retail Property revenues of
$66.8 million is primarily attributable to: a) the acquisition of 23 Office
Properties and four Retail Properties during 1996, which resulted in $32.8
million of incremental revenues; and b) the fact that 20 Office Properties
acquired during 1995 contributed revenues for a full year in 1996 as compared to
a partial year in 1995, which resulted in $34.9 million of incremental revenue.
This increase reflects a $.9 million decrease in revenues from the Office and
Retail Properties owned as of January 1, 1995. The increase in Hotel Property
revenues of $11.7 million is primarily attributable to: a) the acquisition of
three Hotel Properties in 1996, which resulted in $2.7 million of incremental
revenues; and b) the fact that three Hotel Properties acquired during 1995
contributed revenues for a full year in 1996 as compared to a partial year in
1995, which resulted in $9.1 million of incremental revenues.

Total expenses increased $65.7 million, or 66.3%, to $164.8 million
for the year ended December 31, 1996, as compared to $99.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 1995. The increase in rental property operating expenses of
$27.9 million is primarily attributable to: a) the acquisition of 23 Office
Properties and four Retail Properties during 1996, which resulted in $13.9
million of incremental expenses; and b) the fact that 20 Office Properties
acquired during 1995 contributed expenses for a full year in 1996 as compared to
a partial year in 1995, which resulted in $14.1 million of incremental expenses.
This increase reflects a $.2 million decrease in expenses from the Office and
Retail Properties owned as of January 1, 1995. Depreciation and amortization
expense increased $12.5 million, primarily due to the acquisitions of Office,
Retail and Hotel Properties during 1996 and 1995. The increase in interest
expense of $24.1 million is primarily attributable to $27.1 million of interest
payable under the terms of the three new long-term financing arrangements
entered into from August 1995 through March 1996, proceeds of which were used to
repay the Credit Facility and to fund property acquisitions in 1995 and 1996,
and $2.1 million of interest payable under LaSalle Note III, which was assumed
in the acquisition of the Greenway Plaza Portfolio in October 1996. This
increase reflects a $5.1 million decrease in interest expense under the Credit
Facility, primarily due to a lower average outstanding balance throughout the
year. The increase in corporate general and administrative expenses of $.9
million is primarily attributable to incremental costs associated with the
operations of the Company as a result of acquisitions of additional Properties.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents were $66.6 million and $25.6 million at
December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively. The increase is
attributable to $2,123.7 million and $211.7 million of cash provided by
financing and operating activities, respectively, offset by $2,294.4 million
used in investing activities. The Company's inflow of cash provided by financing
activities is primarily attributable to proceeds received from offerings of
common shares ($1,345.3 million), net borrowings under the Credit Facility
($310.0 million), net borrowings under the short-term BankBoston notes ($191.9
million) and proceeds from the September 1997 Notes Offering ($400.0 million).
The inflow of cash provided by financing activities was partially offset by the
distributions paid to shareholders and unitholders ($140.8 million) and the
distribution of COI shares to shareholders and unitholders ($11.9 million). The
inflow of cash from operating activities is primarily attributable to: (i)
Property operations, and (ii) an increase in accounts payable which is primarily
attributable to 1997 acquisitions. The inflow of cash from operating activities
was partially offset by an increase in other assets and deferred rent receivable
($52.4 million). The Company utilized $2,294.4 million of cash inflow primarily
in the following investing activities: (i) the acquisition of 26 Office
Properties, one Retail Property, two Hotel Properties and 90 Behavioral
Healthcare Facilities ($1,532.7 million); (ii) additional investments in
Residential Development Corporations ($270.2 million) primarily attributable to
Desert Mountain Development Corporation ($214.0 million) and Woodlands Land
Development Company, L.P. ($41.2 million); (iii) investments in unconsolidated
companies ($278.0 million) primarily attributable to Woodland Commercial
Properties Company, L.P. ($38.6 million),



31

34
the Refrigerated Warehouse Investment ($160 million), Bank One Center ($41.5
million) and DBL Holding, Inc. ($12.6 million); (iv) notes receivable ($127.8
million) primarily attributable to loans included in the Carter-Crowley
Portfolio ($58.4 million), a loan to DMPLP ($17.6 million), loans made to COI
($42.1 million), and the acquisition of a note receivable secured by a hotel
property ($7.1 million); (v) capital expenditures for rental properties ($22.0
million), primarily attributable to building improvements for the Office and
Retail Properties, and replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment for the
Hotel Properties; and (vi) recurring and non-recurring tenant improvement and
leasing costs for the Office and Retail Properties ($53.9 million).

On February 14, 1997, the Company filed a shelf registration (the
"February Shelf Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") for an aggregate of $1.2 billion of common shares, preferred
shares and warrants exercisable for common shares. An aggregate of $1,184.0
million of common shares have been issued under the registration statement. Net
proceeds from the offerings of these securities were used as described below.

On April 28, 1997, the Company completed an offering (the "April 1997
Offering") of 24,150,000 common shares (including the underwriters'
overallotment option) at $25.375 per share under the February Shelf Registration
Statement. Net proceeds to the Company from the April 1997 Offering after
underwriting discount of $29.2 million and other offering costs of $3.0 million
were $580.6 million. On May 14, 1997, the Company completed an additional
offering of 500,000 common shares under the February Shelf Registration
Statement to several underwriters who participated in the April 1997 Offering.
The common shares were sold at $25.875 per share, with gross and net proceeds of
$12.9 million (collectively, the "Offerings").

In the second quarter of 1997, the Company used net proceeds of $593.5
million from the Offerings and $314.7 million from borrowings under the Credit
Facility and $160.0 million of short-term borrowings from BankBoston (i) to fund
$30.0 million in connection with the formation and capitalization of COI; (ii)
to repay the $150.0 million BankBoston short-term note payable; (iii) to reduce
by $131.0 million borrowings under the Credit Facility; (iv) to fund $306.3
million of the purchase price of the Carter-Crowley Portfolio acquired by the
Company; (v) to fund the $419.7 million commitment of the Company and COI
relating to the acquisition of the Behavioral Healthcare Facilities; and (vi) to
fund $31.2 million for working capital purposes.

On August 12, 1997, the Company entered into two transactions with
affiliates of Union Bank of Switzerland ("UBS"). In one transaction, pursuant to
which the Company obtained additional equity capital through the issuance of
common shares, the Company sold 4,700,000 common shares at $31.5625 per share to
UBS Securities, LLC for $148.3 million ($145.0 million of net proceeds) ("UBS
Offering") under the February Shelf Registration Statement. The net proceeds to
the Company from the UBS Offering were used to repay borrowings under the Credit
Facility. In the other transaction, which will permit the Company to benefit
from any increases in the market price of its common shares, the Company entered
into a forward share purchase agreement with Union Bank of Switzerland, London
Branch ("UBS-LB") which provides that the Company will purchase 4,700,000 common
shares from UBS-LB within one year. The purchase price will be determined on the
date the Company settles the agreement and will include a forward accretion
component, minus an adjustment for the Company's distribution rate. The Company
may complete, at its option, the settlement in cash or common shares.

On September 22, 1997, the Operating Partnership completed the
September 1997 Notes Offering, which was a private offering of unsecured notes
in an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million ($394.8 million of net
proceeds), the Notes due 2002 and the Notes due 2007. The net proceeds of the
September 1997 Notes Offering were used to fund $327.6 million of the purchase
price for Houston Center, to repay $50.0 million of borrowings under the Credit
Facility, to fund $10.0 million of the purchase price of Miami Center and to
repay $7.2 million of short-term indebtedness.

In September 1997, the Company's Notes due 2002 and the Notes due 2007
were assigned a rating of Baa3 from Moody's Investors Service, Inc.

On October 8, 1997, the Company completed an offering (the "October
1997 Offering") of 10,000,000 common shares at $39.00 per share under the
February Shelf Registration Statement. Net proceeds to the Company from the
October 1997 Offering after underwriting discount of $19.9 million and other
offering costs of $1.6 million were




32
35
$368.5 million. The net proceeds were used to repay $323.5 million of borrowings
under the Credit Facility and to fund $45.0 million of the purchase price of the
U.S. Home Building.

On October 29, 1997, the Company filed a shelf registration statement (the
"October Shelf Registration Statement") with the SEC for an aggregate of $1.5
billion of common shares, preferred shares and warrants exercisable for common
shares. As of March 25, 1998, the Company has issued $424.0 million of
securities under the October Shelf Registration Statement, as described below.
Any securities issued in the future under the October Shelf Registration
Statement may be offered from time to time in amounts, at prices, and on terms
to be determined at the time of the offering. Management believes the October
Shelf Registration Statement will provide the Company with more efficient and
immediate access to the capital markets at such time as it is considered
appropriate. Net proceeds from any future offering of these securities are
expected to be used for general business purposes, including the acquisition and
development of additional properties and other acquisition transactions, the
payment of certain outstanding debt and improvements to certain properties in
the Company's portfolio.

On December 12, 1997 the Company entered into two transactions with Merrill
Lynch International. In one transaction, pursuant to which the Company obtained
additional equity capital through the issuance of common shares, the Company
sold 5,375,000 common shares at $38.125 per share under the October Shelf
Registration Statement to Merrill Lynch International for $204.9 million ($199.9
million in net proceeds) (the "Merrill Lynch Offering"). The net proceeds to the
Company from the Merrill Lynch Offering were used to repay borrowings under the
Credit Facility. In the other transaction, which will permit the Company to
benefit from any increases in the market price of its common shares, the Company
entered into a swap agreement (the "Swap Agreement") with Merrill Lynch
International relating to 5,375,000 common shares (the "Settlement Shares"),
pursuant to which Merrill Lynch International will sell, as directed by the
Company on or before December 12, 1998, a sufficient number of common shares to
achieve net sales proceeds equal to the market value of the Settlement Shares on
December 12, 1997, plus a forward accretion component, minus an adjustment for
the Company's distribution rate. The precise number of common shares that will
be required to be sold pursuant to the Swap Agreement will depend primarily on
the market price of the common shares at the time of settlement. The common
shares required to be sold by Merrill Lynch International pursuant to the Swap
Agreement are expected to be the same common shares initially issued by the
Company (although Merrill Lynch International, at its option, may substitute
other common shares that it holds). If, however, as a result of a decrease in
the market price of the common shares, the number of common shares required to
be sold is greater than the number of Settlement Shares, the Company will
deliver additional common shares to Merrill Lynch International. In contrast, if
such number of common shares is less than the number of Settlement Shares, as a
result of an increase in the market price of the common shares, Merrill Lynch
International will deliver common shares or, at the option of the Company, cash
to the Company. On February 20, 1998, the Company issued an additional 525,000
common shares to Merrill Lynch International under the October Shelf
Registration Statement as a result of the decline in market price of the common
shares from the date of issuance on December 12, 1997 through February 12, 1998.

On February 19, 1998, the Company completed an offering (the "February 1998
Preferred Offering") of 8,000,000 6-3/4% Series A convertible cumulative
preferred shares (the "Series A Preferred Shares") with a liquidation preference
of $25.00 per share under the October Shelf Registration Statement. Series A
Preferred Shares are convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the option
of the holders thereof into common shares of the Company at a conversion price
of $40.86 per common share (equivalent to a conversion rate of .6119 common
shares per Series A Preferred Share), subject to adjustment in certain
circumstances. Net proceeds to the Company from the February 1998 Preferred
Offering after underwriting discount of $8.0 million and other offering costs of
$.8 million were $191.3 million. The net proceeds from the February 1998
Preferred Offering were used to repay borrowings under the Credit Facility.

As of March 25, 1998, the Company had no commitments for material capital
expenditures.

NOTES:

(1) The note has a seven-year period during which only interest is payable
(through August 2002), followed by principal amortization based on a
25-year amortization schedule through maturity. At the end of 12 years
(August 2007), the interest rate increases, and the Company is required to
remit, in addition to the monthly debt service payment, excess property
cash flow, as defined, to be applied first against principal until the note
is paid in full and thereafter, against accrued excess interest, as
defined. It is the Company's intention to repay the note in full at such
time (August 2007) by making a final payment of approximately $220 million.
LaSalle Note I is secured by Properties owned by Funding I (See Note 1 to
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data). The note agreement
prohibits Funding I from engaging in certain activities, including
incurring liens on the Properties securing the note, pledging the
Properties securing the note, incurring other indebtedness (except as
specifically permitted in the note agreement), canceling a material claim
or debt owed to it, entering into an affiliate transaction (except as
specifically permitted in the note agreement), distributing funds derived
from operation of the Properties securing the note (except as specifically
permitted in the note agreement), or creating easements with respect to the
Properties securing the note.

(2) The note has a seven-year period during which only interest is payable
(through March 2003), followed by principal amortization based on a 25-year
amortization schedule through maturity. At the end of 10 years (March
2006), the interest rate increases, and the Company is required to remit,
in addition to the monthly debt service payment, excess property cash flow,
as defined, to be applied first against principal until the note is paid in
full and thereafter, against accrued excess interest, as defined. It is the
Company's intention to repay the note in full at such time (March 2006) by
making a final payment of approximately $154 million. LaSalle Note II is
secured by Properties owned by Funding II (See Note 1 to Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data). The note agreement prohibits Funding II
from engaging in certain activities, including incurring liens on the
Properties securing the note, pledging the Properties securing the note,
incurring other indebtedness (except as specifically permitted in the note
agreement), canceling a material claim or debt owed to it, entering into an
affiliate transaction (except as specifically permitted in the note
agreement), distributing funds derived from operation of the Properties
securing the note (except as specifically permitted in the note agreement),
or creating easements with respect to the Properties securing the note.

(3) The note requires payments of interest only during its term. The CIGNA Note
is secured by the MCI Tower and Denver Marriott City Center properties. The
note agreement has no negative covenants.

(4) The note requires monthly payments of principal and interest based on a
25-year amortization schedule through maturity, at which time the
outstanding principal balance is due and payable. The Metropolitan Life
Note II is secured by Energy Centre. The note agreement requires the
Company to maintain compliance with a number of customary covenants,
including maintaining the Property that secures the note and not creating
any lien with respect to or otherwise encumbering such Property.

(5) The note requires payments of interest only during its term. The
Northwestern Life Note is secured by the 301 Congress Avenue Property. The
note agreement requires the Company to maintain compliance with a number of
customary covenants, including maintaining the Property that secures the
note and not creating any lien with respect to or otherwise encumbering
such Property.

(6) The note requires monthly payments of principal and interest based on
20-year amortization schedule through maturity, at which time the
outstanding principal balance is due and payable. The Metropolitan Note I
is secured by five of The Woodlands Office Properties. The note agreement
has no negative covenants.

(7) The note was assumed in connection with an acquisition and was not
subsequently retired by the Company because of prepayment penalties.

(8) Under the terms of the note, principal and interest are payable based on a
25-year amortization schedule. In July 1998, the Company may defease the
note by purchasing Treasury obligations to pay the note without penalty.
The Nomura Funding VI Note is secured by Canyon Ranch-Lenox, the Property
owned by Funding VI (see Note 1 to Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data). In July of 2010, the interest rate due under the note
will change to a 10-year Treasury yield plus 500 basis points or, if the
Company so elects, it may repay the note without penalty. The note
agreement requires Funding VI to maintain compliance with a number of
customary covenants, including a debt service coverage ratio for the
Property that secures the note, a restriction on the ability to transfer or
encumber the Property that secures the note, and covenants related to
maintaining its single purpose nature, including restrictions on ownership
by Funding VI of assets other than the Property that secures the note,
restrictions on the ability to incur indebtedness and make loans and
restrictions on operations.

(9) The note requires quarterly payments of principal and interest based on a
15-year amortization schedule through maturity, at which time the
outstanding principal balance is due and payable. The Rigney Promissory
Note is secured by a parcel of land owned by the Company and located across
from an Office Property. The note agreement has no negative covenants.

(10) The note bears interest at the rate for 30-day LIBOR plus a weighted
average rate of 2.135% (subject to a rate cap of 10%), and requires
payments of interest only during its term. The LaSalle Note III is secured
by the Properties owned by Funding III, IV, and V (see Note 1 to Item 8.
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data). The note agreement prohibits
Fundings III, IV and V from engaging in certain activities, including using
the Properties securing the note in certain ways, imposing any
restrictions, agreements or covenants that run with the land upon the
Properties securing the note, incurring additional indebtedness (except as
specifically permitted in the note agreement), canceling or releasing a
material claim or debt owed to it, or distributing funds derived from
operation of the Properties securing the note (except as specifically
permitted in the note agreement).

(11) The note bears interest at the rate for 30-day LIBOR plus 175 basis points
and requires payment of interest only during its term. The Chase Manhattan
Note is secured by Fountain Place. The note agreement has no negative
covenants.

(12) The notes are unsecured and require payments of interest only during their
terms. The interest rates on the notes are subject to temporary increase by
50 basis points in the event that a registered offer to exchange the notes
for the notes of the Company with terms identical in all material respects
to the notes is not consummated or a shelf registration statement with
respect to the resale of the notes is not declared effective by the
Commission on or before March 21, 1998. The interest rates on the notes
will increase by 50 basis points temporarily, since the exchange offer was
not completed by March 21, 1998. The Company anticipates that the interest
rates will return to the original rates during the second quarter of 1998.
The interest rates on the notes also is subject to temporary or permanent
increase by 37.5 basis points in the event that, within the period from
September 22, 1997 to September 22, 1998, such notes are not assigned, or
do not retain, an investment grade rating (as defined in the notes) by
specified rating agencies. These adjustments may apply simultaneously. The
indenture requires the Company to maintain compliance with a number of
customary financial and other covenants on an ongoing basis, including
leverage ratios and debt service coverage ratios, limitations on the
incurrence of additional indebtedness and maintaining the Company's
Properties.

(13) The Credit Facility is unsecured with an interest rate of the Eurodollar
rate plus 120 basis points. The Credit Facility requires the Company to
maintain compliance with a number of customary financial and other
covenants on an ongoing basis, including leverage ratios based on book
value and debt service coverage ratios, limitations on additional secured
and total indebtedness and distributions, limitations on additional
investments and the incurrence of additional liens, restrictions on real
estate development activity and a minimum net worth requirement.

(14) The note is unsecured with an interest rate of the Eurodollar rate plus 120
basis points. The note requires payments of the interest only during its
term. The note agreement has no negative covenants.

(15) The maximum borrowings under the BankBoston Bridge Loan were increased to
$250 million subsequent to December 31, 1997.

(16) The Company has a commitment with BankBoston to extend the term to May 31,
1998 with the same interest rate.


The combined aggregate principal amounts either at maturity or in the
form of scheduled principal installments due pursuant to borrowings under the
Credit Facility and other indebtedness of the Company are as follows:



(In Thousands)

1998.................................................... $193,038

Based on the Company's total market capitalization of $6.9 billion at
December 31, 1997 (at a $39.375 stock price, which was the closing price of the
common stock on the NYSE on December 31, 1997, and including the full conversion
of all units of minority interest in the Operating Partnership plus total
indebtedness), the Company's debt represented 25% of its total market
capitalization. The Company intends to maintain a flexible and conservative
capital structure with total debt targeted at approximately 40% of total market
capitalization.

The Company intends to maintain its qualification as a REIT under the Code.
As a REIT, the Company will generally not be subject to corporate federal income
taxes as long as it satisfies certain technical requirements of the Code,
including the requirement to distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to
its shareholders.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements primarily
through cash flow provided by operating activities, which the Company believes
will be adequate to fund normal recurring operating expenses, debt service
requirements, recurring capital expenditures and distributions to shareholders
and unitholders. To the extent the Company's cash flow from operating activities
is not sufficient to finance non-recurring capital expenditures or investment
property acquisition costs, the Company expects to finance such activities with
proceeds from the Credit Facility, available cash reserves and other debt and
equity financing.

The Company expects to meet its long-term liquidity requirements,
consisting primarily of maturities under the Company's fixed and variable rate
debt, through long-term secured and unsecured borrowings and the issuance of
debt securities and/or additional equity securities of the Company.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Funds from Operations ("FFO"), based on the definition adopted by the
Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
("NAREIT") and as used herein, means net income (loss) (determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles or "GAAP"), excluding gains (or
losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and
amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. FFO was developed by NAREIT as a relative
measure of performance and liquidity of an equity REIT in order to recognize
that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis
determined under GAAP. The Company considers FFO an appropriate measure of
performance of an equity REIT. However, FFO (i) does not represent cash
generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP (which,
unlike FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events
that enter into the determination of net income), (ii) is not necessarily
indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs, and (iii) should not be
considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as
an indication of the Company's operating performance, or to cash flow from
operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of either
liquidity or the Company's ability to make distributions. The Company has
historically distributed an amount less than FFO, primarily due to reserves
required for capital expenditures, including leasing costs. The aggregate cash
distributions paid to shareholders and unitholders for the year ended December
31, 1997 and 1996 were $140.8 and $73.4 million, respectively. An increase in
FFO does not necessarily result in an increase in aggregate distributions
because the Company's board of trustees is not required to increase
distributions on a quarterly basis unless necessary in order to enable the
Company to maintain REIT status. However, the Company must distribute 95% of its
real estate investment trust taxable income (as defined in the Code), therefore,
a significant increase in FFO will generally require an increase in
distributions to shareholders and unitholders although not necessarily on a
proportionate basis. Accordingly, the Company believes that in order to
facilitate a clear understanding of the consolidated historical operating
results of the Company, FFO should be considered in conjunction with the
Company's net income (loss) and cash flows as reported in the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto. However, the Company's measure of FFO
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other REIT's because these
REIT's may not apply the definition of FFO in the same manner as the Company.

LEASING

The Company applies a well-defined leasing strategy in order to capture
the potential rental growth in the Company's existing portfolio of Office
Properties as occupancy and rental rates increase with the recovery of the
markets and the submarkets in which the Company has invested. The Company's
strategy is based in part on identifying, and then investing in, submarkets in
which weighted average full-service rental rates (representing base rent after
giving effect to free rent and scheduled rent increases that would be taken into
account under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and including
adjustments for expenses payable by or reimbursed from tenants) are
significantly less than weighted average full-service replacement cost rental
rates (the rate estimated by management to be necessary to provide a return to a
developer of a comparable, multi-tenant building sufficient to justify
construction of new buildings) in that submarket. In calculating replacement
cost rental rates, management relies on available third party data and its own
estimates of construction costs (including materials and labor in a particular
market) and assumes replacement cost rental rates are achieved at a 95%
occupancy level. The Company believes that the difference between the two rates
is a useful measure of the additional revenue that the Company may be able to
obtain from a property, because the difference should represent the amount by
which rental rates would have to increase before construction of properties that
would compete with the Company's Office Properties would cause the Company to
risk losing tenants to construction of new buildings. For the Company's Office
Properties, inclusive of acquisitions completed through March 25, 1998, the
weighted average full-service rental rate as of December 31, 1997 was $18.12 per
square foot compared to an estimated weighted average full-service replacement
cost rental rate of $28.33 per square foot. Many of the Company's submarkets
have experienced substantial rental rate growth during the past two years. For
example, Class A office rental rates in Dallas, Houston, Austin and Denver have
increased by approximately 30%, 18%, 19% and 15%, respectively, from 1995 to
1997, according to Jamison Research, Inc. in the case of Dallas;



37


40
Baca Landata, Inc., The Woodlands Operating Company, LP and Cushman & Wakefield
of Texas, Inc. in the case of Houston; CB Commercial in the case of Austin; and
Cushman & Wakefield of Colorado, Inc. in the case of Denver. As a result, the
Company has been successful in renewing or re-leasing office space in these
markets at rental rates significantly above the expiring rental rates. For the
year ended December 31, 1997, leases were signed renewing or re-leasing
1,585,769 net rentable square feet of office space at a weighted average
full-service rental rate and an annual net effective rate (calculated as
weighted average full-service rental rate minus operating expenses) of $19.42
and $12.43 per square foot, respectively, compared to expiring leases with a
weighted average full-service rental rate and an annual net effective rate of
$15.96 and $8.94 per square foot, respectively. This represents increases in the
weighted average full-service rental rate and in the annual net effective rate
of 22% and 39%, respectively.

OPERATING INFORMATION

The following table presents on an aggregate basis, for the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the EBIDA and occupancy rates of the Office
and Retail Properties owned as of January 1, 1996 on a stabilized (occupancy
rate of 90% or more) and unstabilized (occupancy rate of less than 90%) basis.




Net EBIDA (1)
Number Rentable (in millions) % Occupied
of Area -------------------------- --------------------
Properties (in millions) 1997 1996 1997 1996
---------- ------------- ------------ ---------- ---- ----

Stabilized(3).. 27 5.9 $ 75.4 $ 71.7 96% 96%
Unstabilized .. 6 3.1 $ 21.2 $ 19.0 72%(2) 74%



(1) "EBIDA" consists of operating income plus interest, depreciation and
amortization. The Company believes that in addition to cash flows and net
income, EBIDA is a useful financial performance measurement for assessing
the operating performance of the Office and Retail Properties. Together
with net income and cash flows, EBIDA provides investors with an additional
basis to evaluate the ability of the Company to incur and service debt and
to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures. To evaluate EBIDA and
the trends it depicts, the components of EBIDA, such as rental revenues,
rental expenses, real estate taxes and general administrative expenses,
should be considered. Excluded from EBIDA are financing costs such as
interest as well as depreciation and amortization, each of which can
significantly affect the Company's results of operations and liquidity and
should be considered in evaluating the Company's operating performance.
Further, EBIDA does not represent net income or cash flows from operating,
financing and investing activities as defined by generally accepted
accounting principals ("GAAP") and does not necessarily indicate that cash
flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. It should not be considered as
an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating
performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

(2) Leases have been executed at certain of "unstabilized" properties but had
not commenced as of December 31, 1997. If such leases had commenced as of
December 31, 1997, the percent leased for the "unstabilized" properties
would have been 96%.

(3) Properties owned as of January 1, 1996, with occupancies equal to 90% or
more, in 1997 and 1996.

HISTORICAL RECURRING OFFICE AND RETAIL PROPERTY
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, TENANT IMPROVEMENT AND LEASING COSTS

The following table sets forth annual and per square foot recurring
capital expenditures (excluding those expenditures which are recoverable from
tenants) and tenant improvement and leasing costs for the years ended December
31, 1996 and 1997, attributable to signed leases, all of which have commenced or
will commence during the next twelve months (i.e., the renewal or replacement
tenant began or will begin to pay rent) for the Office Properties consolidated
in the Company's financial statements during each of the periods presented.
Tenant improvement and leasing costs for signed leases during a particular
period do not equal the cash paid for tenant improvement and leasing costs
during such period, due to timing of payments.

Total per square foot ........... $ 14.29 $ 11.07
Average lease term .............. 5.3 years 6.4 years
Total per square foot per year .. $ 2.38 $ 1.73




(1) Excludes leasing activity for leases that have less than a one-year term
(i.e., storage and temporary space).

Capital expenditures may fluctuate in any given period subject to the
nature, extent, and timing of improvements required to be made in the Company's
Property portfolio. The Company maintains an active preventive maintenance
program in order to minimize required capital improvements. In addition, capital
improvement costs are recoverable from tenants in many instances.

Tenant improvement and leasing costs also may fluctuate in any given
year depending upon factors such as the property, the term of the lease, the
type of lease (renewal or replacement tenant), the involvement of external
leasing agents and overall competitive market conditions. Management believes
that future recurring tenant improvements and leasing costs for the Company's
existing Office Properties will approximate on average for "renewal tenants"
$6.00 to $8.00 per square foot, or $1.20 to $1.60 per square foot per year based
on an average five-year lease term, and, on average for "replacement tenants",
$12.00 to $14.00 per square foot, or $2.40 to $2.80 per square foot per year
based on an average five-year lease term.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company has reviewed its in-house computer software programs and
operating systems, which consist primarily of the accounting and property
management systems, to assess the impact of the Year 2000 on these systems.
These programs and systems are Year 2000 compliant.

Based on present information, the Company believes that it will be able
to achieve Year 2000 compliance for its property-specific computer systems, such
as energy management and security access systems, through a combination of the
modification and replacement of systems within its Office Property portfolio.
The Company anticipates that the costs associated with achieving Year 2000
compliance will not have a material impact on the Company's financial results.
The implementation will take place over the next 12 to 18 months with the
assistance of full-time employees and independent contractors.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

This Item is inapplicable to the Company because its market
capitalization was less than $2.5 billion on January 28, 1997.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Trust Managers of Crescent Real Estate Equities Company:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crescent Real
Estate Equities Company as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. These financial
statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and this schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Crescent Real Estate Equities
Company as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the index of
financial statements is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities
and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial
statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly
states in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth
therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

CRESCENT REAL ESTATE EQUITIES COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

ORGANIZATION

Crescent Real Estate Equities Company ("Crescent Equities") is a fully
integrated real estate company operating as a real estate investment trust for
federal income tax purposes (a "REIT"). The Company provides management,
leasing, and development services with respect to certain of its properties.
Crescent Equities is a Texas real estate investment trust which became the
successor to Crescent Real Estate Equities, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the
"Predecessor Corporation"), on December 31, 1996, through the merger of the
Predecessor Corporation and CRE Limited Partner, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
into Crescent Equities. The direct and indirect subsidiaries of Crescent
Equities include Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited Partnership (the
"Operating Partnership"); Crescent Real Estate Equities, Ltd. (the "General
Partner"), which is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership; seven
single purpose limited partnerships (formed for the purpose of obtaining
securitized debt) in which the Operating Partnership owns substantially all of
the economic interests directly or indirectly, with the remaining interests
owned indirectly by Crescent Equities through seven separate corporations, each
of which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the General Partner and a general
partner of one of the seven limited partnerships. The term "Company" includes,
unless the context otherwise requires, Crescent Equities, the Predecessor
Corporation, the Operating Partnership, the General Partner and the other direct
and indirect subsidiaries of Crescent Equities.

As of December 31, 1997, the Company directly or indirectly owned a
portfolio of real estate assets (the "Properties") located primarily in 21
metropolitan submarkets in Texas and Colorado. The Properties include 80 office
properties (the "Office Properties") with an aggregate of approximately 28.6
million net rentable square feet, 90 behavioral healthcare facilities (the
"Behavioral Healthcare Facilities"), six full-service hotels with a total of
1,962 rooms and two destination health and fitness resorts (the "Hotel
Properties"), real estate mortgages and non-voting common stock representing
interests ranging from 40% to 95% in five unconsolidated residential
development corporations (the "Residential Development Corporations"), which in
turn, through joint venture or partnership arrangements, own interests in 12
residential development properties (the "Residential Development Properties"),
and seven retail properties (the "Retail Properties") with an aggregate of
approximately .8 million net rentable square feet. In addition, the Company
owns an indirect 38% interest in each of two corporations that currently own
and operate approximately 80 refrigerated warehouses with an aggregate of
approximately 394 million cubic feet (the "Refrigerated Warehouse Investment").
The Company also has a 42.5% partnership interest in a partnership whose
primary holdings consist of a 364-room executive conference center and general
partner interests ranging from one to 50%, in additional office, retail,
multi-family and industrial properties.

Crescent Equities owns its assets and carries on its operations and
other activities through the Operating Partnership and its other subsidiaries.

The following table sets forth, by subsidiary, the Properties owned by
such subsidiary as of December 31, 1997:

Operating Partnership: 53 Office Properties, five Hotel Properties and five

respectively.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company
include all direct and indirect subsidiary entities. The equity interests in
those direct and indirect subsidiaries not owned by the Company are reflected as
minority interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated.

Certain amounts in prior year financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

All information relating to Common Shares has been adjusted to reflect
the two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100% share dividend paid
on March 26, 1997 to shareholders of record on March 20, 1997.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE

Real estate is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.
Betterments, major renovations, and certain costs directly related to the
acquisition, improvement and leasing of real estate are capitalized.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets, as follows:



Buildings and Improvements 5 to 49 years
Tenant Improvements Terms of leases
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment 3 to 10 years


An impairment loss is recognized, on a property by property basis, when
expected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset.
In cases where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying costs, the
Company reduces its carrying costs to fair value. No such reductions have
occurred to date.

CONCENTRATION OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

The majority of the Company's Office and Retail Properties are in the
Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas and Houston, Texas metropolitan areas. As of December
31, 1997, these Office and Retail Properties together represented approximately
43% and 31%, respectively, of the Company's total net rentable square feet and
accounted for approximately 44% and 27%, respectively, of the Company's office
rental revenues for the year ended December 31, 1997. As a result of the
geographic concentration, the operations of these properties could be adversely
affected by a recession or general economic downturn in the areas where these
properties are located.



47
50

RESTRICTED CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Restricted cash includes escrows established pursuant to certain
mortgage financing arrangements for real estate taxes, insurance, security
deposits, ground lease expenditures, capital expenditures, and monthly interest
carrying costs paid in arrears.

OTHER ASSETS

Other assets consist principally of leasing costs and deferred
financing costs. Leasing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the
terms of the respective leases and unamortized lease costs are written off upon
early termination of lease agreements. Deferred financing costs are amortized on
a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective loans.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION ON RESTRICTED SHARES

Deferred compensation on restricted shares relates to the issuance of
restricted shares to employees of the Company. Such restricted shares are
amortized to expense over the applicable vesting period.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company has entered into a forward share purchase agreement with
Union Bank of Switzerland and a swap agreement with Merrill Lynch International
("derivative transactions") as further discussed in Note 10.

At December 31, 1997, no common shares were required to be
delivered pursuant to these derivative transactions.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, and short-term
investments are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short
maturities of these instruments. The fair value of notes receivable, which
approximates carrying value, is estimated based on year-end interest rates for
receivables of comparable maturity. Notes payable and borrowings under Credit
Facility have aggregate carrying values which approximate their estimated fair
values based upon the current interest rates for debt with similar terms and
remaining maturities, without considering the adequacy of the underlying
collateral. Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on
pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 1997 and 1996.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Office & Retail Properties

The Company, as a lessor, has retained substantially all of the risks
and benefits of ownership of the Office and Retail Properties and accounts for
its leases as operating leases. Income on leases which include scheduled
increases in rental rates over the lease term and/or abated rent payments for
various periods following the tenant's lease commencement date is recognized on
a straight-line basis. Deferred rent receivable represents the excess of rental
revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over cash received under the
applicable lease provisions.

Hotel Properties

The Company cannot, consistent with its status as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes, operate the Hotel Properties directly. It has leased these
Hotel Properties to subsidiaries of Crescent Operating, Inc. ("COI")



48
51

pursuant to eight separate leases. The leases provide for the payment by the
lessee of the Hotel Property of (i) base rent, with periodic rent increases,
(ii) percentage rent based on a percentage of gross receipts or gross room
revenues, as applicable, above a specified amount, and (iii) a percentage of
gross food and beverage revenues above a specified amount for certain Hotel
Properties. Base rental income under these leases is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases.


Behavioral Healthcare Facilities

The Company has leased the Behavioral Healthcare Facilities to Charter
Behavioral Health Systems, LLC ("CBHS") under a triple-net lease. The lease
requires the payment of annual minimum rent in the amount of approximately
$41,700 for the period ending June 16, 1998, increasing in each subsequent year
during the 12-year term at a 5% compounded annual rate. The Company recognizes
the rent on a straight-line basis.

INCOME TAXES

The ongoing operations of the Properties generally will not be subject
to federal income taxes as long as the Company maintains its REIT status. A REIT
will generally not be subject to federal income taxation on that portion of its
income that qualifies as REIT taxable income to the extent that it distributes
such taxable income to its shareholders and complies with certain requirements
(including distribution of at least 95% of its taxable income). As a REIT, the
Company is allowed to reduce taxable income by all or a portion of its
distributions to shareholders. As distributions have exceeded taxable income, no
federal income tax provision (benefit) has been reflected in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. State income taxes are not significant.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share" ("EPS") which supersedes APB No. 15 for periods ending
after December 15, 1997. SFAS 128 specifies the computation, presentation and
disclosure requirements for earnings per share. Primary EPS and Fully Diluted
EPS are replaced by Basic EPS and Diluted EPS, respectively. Basic EPS, unlike
Primary EPS, excludes all dilution while Diluted EPS, like Fully Diluted EPS,
reflected the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares.

ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting and
Disclosure of Stock-Based Compensation," which requires disclosures based on the
fair values of share options at the date of grant. There was no cumulative
effect nor any impact on the Company's financial position as a result of the
adoption. The Company will continue to measure compensation costs associated
with the issue of share options using the guidance provided by the Accounting
Principles Board's Opinion No. 25 ("APB No. 25"). Under APB No. 25, compensation
costs related to share options issued pursuant to compensatory plans are
measured based on the difference between the quoted market price of the shares
at the measurement date (originally the date of grant) and the grant price and
should be charged to expense over the periods during which the grantee performs
the related services. All share options issued to date by the Company have grant
prices equal to the market price of the shares at the dates of grant (See Note
8).

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components. This statement requires a separate statement to
report the components of comprehensive income for each period reported. The
provisions of this statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. Management believes that the Company historically and
currently does not have items that would require presentation in a separate
statement of comprehensive income.

In June 1997, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes standards
for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and require that those enterprises
report selected information about operating segments in interim financial
reports issued to shareholders. This statement is effective for financial
statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company will
implement SFAS No. 131 for fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

CREDIT FACILITY

On September 22, 1997, the Credit Facility was increased to $450,000,
and subsequently increased to $550,000 on December 19, 1997, to enhance the
Company's financial flexibility in making new real estate investments.
Concurrently with the September increase, the interest rate on advances under
the Credit Facility was decreased from the Eurodollar rate plus 137.5 basis
points to the Eurodollar rate plus 120 basis points. The Credit Facility is
unsecured and expires in June 2000. The Credit Facility requires the Company to
maintain compliance with a number of customary financial and other covenants on
an ongoing basis, including leverage ratios based on book value and debt service
coverage ratios, limitations on additional secured and total indebtedness and
distributions, and a minimum net worth requirement. As of December 31, 1997, the
Company was in compliance with all covenants. As of December 31, 1997, the
interest rate was 7.14% and $200,000 was available under the Credit Facility.

NOTES OFFERING

On September 22, 1997, the Operating Partnership completed a private
offering of senior unsecured notes in an aggregate principal amount of $400,000
(the "Notes"). The Notes were issued in two series, the 6-5/8%, $150,000 notes
with maturity on September 15, 2002, yielding a 6.73% effective rate (the "2002
Notes") and the 7-1/8%, $250,000 notes with maturity on September 15, 2007,
yielding a 7.151% effective rate (the "2007 Notes"). The Notes pay interest
semi-annually in arrears. The interest rates on the Notes are subject to
temporary increase by 50 basis points in the event that a registered offer to
exchange the Notes for notes of the Operating Partnership with terms identical
in all material respects to the Notes is not consummated or a shelf registration
statement with respect to the resale of the Notes is not declared effective by
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on or before March 21, 1998.
The interest rates on the Notes were temporarily increased by 50 basis points,
since the exchange offer was not completed by March 21, 1998. The Company
anticipates that the interest rates will return to the original rates during the
second quarter of 1998. The interest rate on the Notes also is subject to
temporary or permanent increase by 37.5 basis points in the event that, within
the period from the date of original issuance of the Notes to the first
anniversary of original issuance, the Notes are assigned a rating that is not an
investment grade rating (as defined in the Notes) or are not assigned, or do not
retain, a rating by specified rating agencies. These adjustments may apply
simultaneously.

The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the
Operating Partnership upon payment of principal, accrued and unpaid interest,
and the premium specified in the Notes. The Notes also contain certain
covenants, including limitations on the ability of the Operating Partnership and
its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, other than certain intercompany debt
that is subordinate to payment of the Notes, unless certain asset and income
tests are satisfied.

57


The net proceeds of the Notes offering were used to fund the
approximately $327,600 purchase price of Houston Center, to repay approximately
$50,000 of borrowings under the Credit Facility, to fund approximately $10,000
of the purchase price of Miami Center, and to repay approximately $7,200 of
short term indebtedness.

6. RENTALS UNDER OPERATING LEASES:

The Company receives rental income from the leasing of Office Property,
Retail Property, Hotel Property and Behavioral Healthcare Facility space under
operating leases. Future minimum rentals (base rents) under noncancelable
operating leases over the next five years (excluding tenant reimbursements of
operating expenses for Office and Retail Properties) as of December 31, 1997,
are as follows:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
$2,075,286 $643,203 $293,974 $3,012,463
=======================================================================


Generally, the office and retail leases also require that tenants
reimburse the Company for increases in operating expenses above operating
expenses during the base year of the tenants lease. These amounts totaled
$42,385, $20,859 and $8,267 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively. These increases are generally payable in equal installments
throughout the year, based on estimated increases, with any differences adjusted
at year end based upon actual expenses.

The Company recognized percentage lease revenue from the Hotel
Properties of approximately $9,678, $4,493 and $1,797 for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.

COI currently is the largest single lessee of the Company in terms of
revenues under its leases. In 1997, total rental revenues from COI and previous
Hotel Properties lessees, who were acquired by COI in July 1997, represented
14.9% of the Company's total revenues. Subsidiaries of COI are the lessees of
each of the Hotel Properties and COI owns a 50% interest in CBHS, which is the
lessee of the Behavioral Healthcare Facilities, the Company's largest tenant in
terms of base rental revenues. (See Note 13 for a further discussion of the
Behavioral Healthcare Facilities)

audits. Such audits have not revealed, nor is management aware of, any
environmental liability that management believes would have a material adverse
impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

8. STOCK AND UNIT BASED COMPENSATION PLANS:

STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company has two stock incentive plans, the 1995 Stock Incentive
Plan ( the "1995 Plan") and the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1994 Plan"). In
June 1996, the shareholders amended the 1995 Plan, which increased the maximum
number of options and/or restricted shares that the Company may grant to
2,850,000 shares. The maximum aggregate number of shares of the 1995 Plan shall
increase automatically on January 1 of each year by an amount equal to 8.5% of
the increase in the number of common shares and units outstanding since January
1 of the preceding year, subject to certain adjustment provisions. As of January
1, 1998, the number of shares the Company may grant under the 1995 Plan is
9,066,177. Under the 1995 Plan, the Company had granted, net of forfeitures,
options and restricted shares of 2,601,240 and 30,572, respectively, through
December 31, 1997. Due to the approval of the 1995 Plan, additional options and
restricted shares will no longer be granted under the 1994 Plan. Under the 1994
Plan, the Company had granted, net of forfeitures, 2,514,800 options and no
restricted shares. Under both Plans, options are granted at a price not less
than the market value of the shares on the date of grant, and expire ten years
from the date of grant. The 1995 Plan options vest over five years with the
exception of 500,000 options that vest over two years. The 1994 Plan options
vest over periods ranging from one to five years.

UNIT PLANS

The Operating Partnership has two unit incentive plans, the 1995 Unit
Incentive Plan (the "1995 Unit Plan") and the 1996 Unit Incentive Plan (the
"1996 Unit Plan"). The 1995 Unit Plan is designed to reward persons who are not
trust managers, officers or 10% shareholders of the Company. An aggregate of
100,000 common shares are reserved for issuance upon the exchange of 50,000
units available for issuance to employees and advisors under the 1995 Unit Plan.
As of December 31, 1997, an aggregate of 7,610 units had been distributed under
the 1995 Unit Plan. The 1995 Unit Plan does not provide for the grant of
options. The 1996 Unit Plan provides for the grant of options to acquire up to
2,000,000 units, all of which were granted to the Chief Executive Officer and
Vice Chairman of the Board of the Company in July 1996. The unit options were
priced at fair market value on the date of grant, vesting over seven years, with
a ten year term (pursuant to the terms of the unit options; because the fair
market value of the Company's common shares equaled or exceeded $25 for each of
ten consecutive trading days, the vesting of 500,000 units was accelerated and
such units became immediately exercisable in 1996). Under the 1996 Unit Plan,
each unit that may be purchased is exchangeable as a result of shareholder
approval in June 1997, for two common shares.

A summary of the status of the Company's 1996 Unit Plan as of December
31, 1997 and 1996, and changes during the years then ended is presented in the

STOCK OPTION AND UNIT PLANS

The Company applies APB No. 25 in accounting for options granted pursuant
to the 1995 Plan, 1994 Plan, and 1996 Unit Plan (collectively, the "Plans").
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the Plans. Had
compensation cost for the Plans been determined based on the fair value at the
grant dates for awards under the Plans consistent with SFAS No. 123, the
Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the
following pro forma amounts:



1997 1996 1995
---- ---- ----
As reported Pro forma As reported Pro forma As reported Pro forma
----------- --------- ----------- --------- ----------- ----------

Net Income $ 117,341 $ 114,694 $ 37,135 $ 33,577 $ 27,395 $ 26,928

Earnings per share $ 1.25 $ 1.22 $ .70 $ .63 $ .66 $ .65


Because SFAS No. 123 has not been applied to options granted prior to
January 1, 1995, the resulting program compensation cost may not be
representative of what is to be expected in future years.

At December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the weighted average fair value of
options granted was $6.52, $4.59, and $3.39, respectively. The fair value of
each option is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for
grants in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively: risk free interest rates of 6.7%,
6.8% and 6.7%; expected dividend yields of 4.0%, 6.2% and 6.8%; expected lives
of 10 years; expected volatility of 19.3%, 17.0% and 18.6%.

9. MINORITY INTEREST:

Minority interest represents (i) the limited partnership interests
owned by limited partners in the Operating Partnership and (ii) joint venture
interests held by third parties. Due to the March 26, 1997 two-for-one common
share dividend, the exchange factor has been adjusted in accordance with the
Operating Partnership's limited partnership agreement and each unit may be
exchanged for either two common shares or, at the election of the Company, cash
equal to the fair market value of two common shares at the time of the
exchange. When a unitholder exchanges a unit, the Company's investment in the
Operating Partnership will be increased. During 1997 and 1996, 66,706 and
53,789 units, respectively, were exchanged for common shares of the Company.

61


10. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:

COMMON SHARE OFFERINGS

On October 2, 1996, the Company completed a public offering (the
"October 1996 Offering") of 23,000,000 common shares (including the
underwriters' overallotment option) at $20.1875 per share. Net proceeds from the
October 1996 Offering to the Company after underwriting discount of $24,380 and
other offering costs of approximately $2,500 were approximately $437,433. The
Company used a portion of these net proceeds to repay $16,000 of short-term
borrowings from BankBoston and $151,500 of borrowings under the Credit Facility.
The remaining net proceeds of $269,933 were used to fund subsequent
acquisitions. On October 9, 1996, the Company completed an additional offering
of 900,000 common shares to several underwriters who participated in the October
1996 Offering. The shares of common stock were sold at $21 per share. The gross
proceeds of $18,900 from the additional offering were used to fund fourth
quarter 1996 acquisitions.

On April 28, 1997, the Company completed an offering (the "April 1997
Offering") of 24,150,000 common shares (including the underwriters'
overallotment option) at $25.375 per share. Net proceeds from the April 1997
Offering to the Company after underwriting discount of $29,222 and other
offering costs of $3,000 were $580,584. On May 14, 1997, the Company completed
an additional offering of 500,000 common shares to several underwriters who
participated in the April 1997 Offering. The common shares were sold at $25.875
per share, totaling gross proceeds of approximately $12,938 (collectively, the
"Offerings").

In the second quarter of 1997, the Company used net proceeds of
$593,522 from the Offerings and $314,700 from borrowings under the Credit
Facility and $160,000 of short-term borrowings from BankBoston (i) to fund
$30,000 in connection with the formation and capitalization of COI; (ii) to
repay the $150,000 BankBoston short-term note payable; (iii) to reduce by
$131,000 borrowings under the Credit Facility; (iv) to fund $306,300 of the
purchase price of the Carter-Crowley Portfolio (as defined in Note 13) acquired
by the Company; (v) to fund the $419.7 million commitment of the Company and COI
relating to the acquisition of the Behavioral Healthcare Facilities and (vi) to
fund $31,222 for working capital purposes.

On August 12, 1997, the Company entered into two transactions with
affiliates of Union Bank of Switzerland ("UBS"). In one transaction, pursuant to
which the Company obtained additional equity capital through the issuance of
common shares, the Company sold 4,700,000 common shares at $31.5625 per share to
UBS Securities, LLC for $148,300 ($145,000 of net proceeds) ("UBS Offering").
The net proceeds to the Company from the UBS Offering were used to repay
borrowings under the Credit Facility. In the other transaction, which will
permit the Company to benefit from any increases in the market price of its
common shares, the Company entered into a forward share purchase agreement with
Union Bank of Switzerland, London Branch ("UBS-LB") which provides that the
Company will purchase 4,700,000 common shares from UBS-LB within one year. The
purchase price will be determined on the date the Company settles the agreement
and will include a forward accretion component, minus an adjustment for the
Company's distribution rate. The Company may complete, at its option, the
settlement in cash or common shares.

On October 8, 1997, the Company completed an offering ("October 1997
Offering") of 10,000,000 common shares at $39.00 per share. Net proceeds to the
Company from the October 1997 Offering after underwriting discount of $19,900
and other offering costs of $1,600 were $368,500. The net proceeds were used to
repay approximately $323,500 of borrowings under the Credit Facility and to fund
approximately $45,000 of the purchase price of the U.S. Home Building.

On December 12, 1997, the Company entered into two transactions with
Merrill Lynch International. In one transaction, pursuant to which the Company
obtained additional equity capital through the issuance of common shares, the
Company sold 5,375,000 common shares at $38.125 per share to Merrill Lynch
International for $204,900 ($199,900 in net proceeds) (the "Merrill Lynch
Offering"). The net proceeds to the Company from the Merrill Lynch Offering were
used to repay borrowings under the Credit Facility. In the other transaction,
which will permit the Company to benefit from any increases in the market price
of its common shares, the Company entered into a swap agreement (the "Swap
Agreement") with Merrill Lynch International relating to 5,375,000 common shares
(the "Settlement Shares"), pursuant to which Merrill Lynch International will
sell, as directed by the Company on or before December 12, 1998, a sufficient
number of common shares to achieve net sales proceeds equal to the market value
of the Settlement Shares on December 12, 1997, plus a forward accretion
component, minus an adjustment for the Company's distribution rate. The precise
number of


59
62


common shares that will be required to be sold pursuant to the Swap Agreement
will depend primarily on the market price of the common shares at the time of
settlement. The common shares required to be sold by Merrill Lynch International
pursuant to the Swap Agreement are expected to be the same common shares
initially issued by the Company (although Merrill Lynch International, at its
option, may substitute other common shares that it holds). If, however, as a
result of a decrease in the market price of the common shares, the number of
common shares required to be sold is greater than the number of Settlement
Shares, the Company will deliver additional common shares to Merrill Lynch
International. In contrast, if such number of common shares is less than the
number of Settlement Shares as a result of an increase in the market price of
the common shares, Merrill Lynch International will deliver common shares or, at
the option of the Company, cash to the Company. On February 20, 1998, the
Company issued an additional 525,000 common shares to Merrill Lynch
International as a result of the decline in market price of the common share
price from the date of issuance on December 12, 1997 through February 12, 1998.

DISTRIBUTIONS

The distribution to shareholders and unitholders paid during the year
ended December 31, 1996, was $73,367 or $1.13 per share.

The distribution to shareholders and unitholders paid during the year
ended December 31, 1997, was $140,801 or $1.295 per share.

Following is the income tax status of dividends paid during the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996:



1997 1996
---- ----

Ordinary income 74.3% 61.7%
Return on capital 25.7% 38.3%


11. FORMATION AND CAPITALIZATION OF COI

In April 1997, the Company established a new Delaware corporation, COI.
All of the outstanding common stock of COI, valued at $.99 per share, was
distributed, effective June 12, 1997, to those persons who were limited
partners of the Operating Partnership or shareholders of the Company on May 30,
1997, in a spin-off.

COI was formed to become a lessee and operator of various assets to be
acquired by the Company and to perform the Intercompany Agreement between COI
and the Company, pursuant to which each has agreed to provide the other with
rights to participate in certain transactions. As a result of the formation of
COI and the execution of the Intercompany Agreement, persons who own equity
interests in both COI and the Company have the opportunity to participate in the
benefits of both the real estate investments of the Company (including ownership
of real estate assets) and the lease of certain of such assets and the ownership
of other non-real estate assets by COI. The certificate of incorporation, as
amended and restated, of COI generally prohibits COI for so long as the
Intercompany Agreement remains in effect, from engaging in activities or making
investments that a REIT could make, unless the Company was first given the
opportunity but elected not to pursue such activities or investments.

In connection with the formation and capitalization of COI, the Company
provided to COI approximately $50,000 in the form of cash contributions and
loans to be used by COI to acquire certain assets described in Note 13. The
Company also made available to COI a line of credit in the amount of $20,400 to
be used by COI to fulfill certain ongoing obligations associated with these
assets. As of December 31, 1997, COI had $13,725 and $25,980 outstanding under
the line of credit and term loan, respectively, with the Company.

12. EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS:

In April 1996, the Company canceled its $150,000 credit facility led
by BankBoston. At that time the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the
credit facility. In connection with the cancellation of the credit facility, the
Company recognized an extraordinary loss of $1,306, net of minority interests,
resulting from the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs.

13. ACQUISITIONS:

During 1997, the Company acquired the following Properties from
unrelated third parties (certain of the Properties are owned in fee simple or
pursuant to a lessee's interest under a ground lease). The Company funded these
acquisitions through cash proceeds from the offerings of common shares, the
Notes Offering, borrowings under the Credit Facility, debt assumption, and
issuance of common shares.

In addition to property acquisitions, the following represents transactions
closed in 1997.

Carter-Crowley Portfolio. On February 10, 1997, the Company entered
into a contract to acquire for approximately $383,300, substantially all of the
assets (the "Carter-Crowley Portfolio") of Carter-Crowley Properties, Inc.
("Carter-Crowley"), an unaffiliated company controlled by the family of Donald
J. Carter. At the time the contract was executed, the Carter-Crowley Portfolio
included 14 office buildings (the "Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio"), with an
aggregate of approximately 3.0 million net rentable square feet, approximately
1,216 acres of commercially zoned, undeveloped land located in the Dallas/Fort
Worth metropolitan area, two multifamily residential properties located in the
Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area, marketable securities, an approximately
12% limited partner interest in the limited partnership that owns the Dallas
Mavericks NBA basketball franchise, secured and unsecured promissory notes,
certain direct non-operating working interests in various oil and gas wells, an
approximately 35% limited partner interest in two oil and gas limited
partnerships, and certain other assets (including operating businesses).
Pursuant to an agreement between Carter-Crowley and the Company, Carter-Crowley
liquidated approximately $51,000 of such assets originally included in the
Carter-Crowley Portfolio, consisting primarily of the marketable securities and
the oil and gas investments, resulting in a reduction in the total purchase
price by a corresponding amount to approximately $332,300. On May 9, 1997, the
Company and COI acquired the Carter-Crowley Portfolio.

The Company acquired certain assets from the Carter-Crowley Portfolio,
with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $306,300, consisting primarily
of the Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio, the two multifamily residential
properties, the approximately 1,216 acres of undeveloped land and the secured
and unsecured promissory notes relating primarily to the Dallas Mavericks. In
addition to the promissory notes relating to the Dallas Mavericks, the Company
obtained rights from the current holders of the majority interest in the Dallas
Mavericks to a contingent $10,000 payment after a new arena is constructed
within a 75-mile radius of Dallas, as well as rights to participate in the
ownership and development of the new arena, certain land located adjacent to the
arena and


61
64

proposed commercial properties to be developed on the adjacent land. On
December 10, 1997, the City of Dallas and the "Arena Group" (which consists of
four corporations, one of which is to be owned almost entirely by the Company)
entered into the Arena Master Agreement for the construction and operation of a
new arena located adjacent to the Dallas CBD submarket. The taxpayers of
Dallas have subsequently approved a bond package which included the funding of
the City's portion of the new arena costs. Construction of the new arena is
expected to commence prior to the end of 1998.

COI purchased the remainder of the Carter-Crowley Portfolio utilizing
cash contributions and loan proceeds provided to COI by the Company. These
assets, which have an allocated cost of approximately $26,000, consisted
primarily of the approximately 12% limited partner interest in the limited
partnership that owns the Dallas Mavericks, an approximately 1% interest in a
private venture capital fund, and a 100% interest in a construction equipment
sale, leasing and services company.

On June 11, 1997, DBL Holdings, Inc. ("DBL"), a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Operating Partnership was formed. In connection with the formation of
DBL, the Operating Partnership acquired all the voting and non-voting common
stock of DBL, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2,500 and loaned
to DBL approximately $10,100. The voting common stock which represented a 5%
effective interest in DBL, was subsequently sold to Gerald W. Haddock, the
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and COI, and John C. Goff,
the Vice Chairman of the Company and COI, for its aggregate original cost of
$126. On June 11, 1997, DBL acquired from COI for approximately $12,550, the
limited partner interest in the partnership that owns the Dallas Mavericks.

Woodlands Transaction. On July 31, 1997, the Company and certain Morgan
Stanley funds (the "Morgan Stanley Group") acquired The Woodlands Corporation, a
subsidiary of Mitchell Energy & Development Corp., for approximately $543,000.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company and the Morgan Stanley Group
made equity investments of approximately $80,000 and $109,000, respectively. The
Company's contribution was funded through a $235,000 short-term loan from
BankBoston. The remaining approximately $354,000 and associated acquisition and
financing costs of approximately $15,000 were financed by the two limited
partnerships, described below, through which the investment was made. The
Woodlands Corporation was the principal owner, developer and operator of The
Woodlands, an approximately 27,000-acre, master-planned residential and
commercial community located 27 miles north of downtown Houston, Texas. The
Woodlands, which is approximately 50% developed, includes a shopping mall,
retail centers, office buildings, a hospital, club facilities, a community
college, a performance pavilion, and numerous other amenities.

The acquisition was made through The Woodlands Commercial Properties
Company, L.P. ("Woodlands-CPC"), a limited partnership in which the Morgan
Stanley Group holds a 57.5% interest and the Company holds a 42.5% interest, and
the Woodlands Land Development Company, L.P. ("Woodlands-LDC"), a limited
partnership in which the Morgan Stanley Group holds a 57.5% interest and a newly
formed Residential Development Corporation, The Woodlands Land Company, Inc.
("WLC"), holds a 42.5% interest. The Company owns all of the non-voting common
stock, representing a 95% economic interest in WLC and, effective September 29,
1997, COI acquired all of the voting common stock, representing a 5% economic
interest, in WLC. The Company is the managing general partner of Woodlands-CPC
and WLC is the managing general partner of Woodlands-LDC.

In connection with the acquisition, Woodlands-CPC acquired The Woodlands
Corporation's 25% general partner interest in the partnerships that own
approximately 1.2 million square feet of The Woodlands Office and Retail
Properties. The Company previously held a 75% limited partner interest in each
of these partnerships and, as a result of the acquisition, the Company's
indirect economic interest in these Properties increased to approximately 85%.
The other assets acquired by Woodlands-CPC include a 364-room executive
conference center, a private golf and tennis club, and approximately 400 acres
of land that will support commercial development of more than 3.5 million square
feet of office, multi-family, industrial, retail and lodging properties. In
addition, Woodlands-CPC acquired The Woodlands Corporation's general partner
interests, ranging from one to 50%, in additional office and retail properties
and in multi-family and light industrial properties. Woodlands-LDC acquired
approximately 6,400 acres of land that will support development of more than
20,000 lots for single-family homes and approximately 2,500 acres of land that
will support more than 21.5 million net rentable square feet of commercial
development. The executive conference center, including the golf and tennis club
and golf courses, is operated and leased by a wholly owned subsidiary of a
partnership owned 42.5% by a subsidiary of COI and 57.5% by the Morgan Stanley
Group.


62
65
Desert Mountain. On August 29, 1997, the Company acquired, through a newly
formed Residential Development Corporation, Desert Mountain Development
Corporation ("DMDC"), the majority economic interest in Desert Mountain
Properties Limited Partnership ("DMPLP"), the partnership that owns Desert
Mountain, a master-planned, luxury residential and recreational community in
northern Scottsdale, Arizona. Desert Mountain is an 8,300-acre property that is
zoned for the development of approximately 4,500 residential lots, approximately
1,539 of which have been sold. Desert Mountain also includes The Desert Mountain
Club, a private golf, tennis and fitness club serving over 1,600 members. The
partnership interest was acquired from a subsidiary of Mobil Land Development
Corporation for approximately $214,000, which was funded through a $200,000 loan
from BankBoston and a draw under the Credit Facility. The sole limited partner
of DMPLP is Sonora Partners Limited Partnership ("Sonora") whose principal owner
is the original developer of Desert Mountain. A portion of Sonora's interest in
DMPLP is exchangeable for common shares of the Company. Sonora currently owns a
7% economic interest in DMPLP, and DMDC, which is the sole general partner of
DMPLP, owns the remaining 93% economic interest. The Company owns all of the
non-voting common stock, representing a 95% economic interest, and, effective
September 29, 1997, COI acquired all of the voting common stock, representing a
5% economic interest, in DMDC. The Company also holds a residential development
property mortgage on Desert Mountain, which is accounted for as an acquisition,
development and construction loan. This loan is treated as an investment and is
included in the balance sheet caption of "Investments in real estate mortgages
and equity of unconsolidated companies."

Americold Corporation and URS Logistics, Inc. On October 31, 1997, the
Company, through two newly formed subsidiaries (the "Crescent Subsidiaries"),
initially acquired a 40% interest in each of two partnerships, one of which owns
Americold Corporation ("Americold") and one of which owns URS Logistics, Inc.
("URS"). Vornado Realty Trust ("Vornado") acquired the remaining 60% interest in
the partnerships. Americold and URS are the two largest suppliers of
refrigerated warehouse space in the United States.

One of the partnerships acquired all of the common stock of Americold
through the merger of a subsidiary of Vornado into Americold, and the other
partnership acquired all of the common stock of URS through the merger of a
separate subsidiary of Vornado into URS. As a result of the acquisition, the
Americold partnership and the URS partnership became the owners and operators of
approximately 80 refrigerated warehouses, with an aggregate of approximately 394
million cubic feet, that are operated pursuant to arrangements with national
food suppliers.

The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition of Americold and URS was
approximately $1,044,000 (including transaction costs associated with the
acquisition). Of this amount, the purchase price for the acquisition of
Americold was approximately $645,000 (consisting of approximately $112,000 in
cash for the purchase of the equity, approximately $151,000 in cash for the
repayment of certain outstanding bonds issued by Americold, approximately
$372,000 in retention of debt and approximately $10,000 in transaction costs),
and the purchase price for the acquisition of URS was approximately $399,000
(consisting of approximately $173,000 in cash for the purchase of the equity,
approximately $211,000 in retention of debt and approximately $15,000 in
transaction costs.)

On December 30, 1997 and effective October 31, 1997, in order to permit
the Company to continue to satisfy certain REIT qualification requirements, the
Company sold all of the voting common stock, representing a 5% economic
interest, in each of the Crescent Subsidiaries to COI. As a result, the Company
currently owns a 38% interest in each of the Americold partnership and URS
partnership, through its ownership of all of the nonvoting common stock,
representing a 95% economic interest, in each of the Crescent Subsidiaries.

Under the terms of the existing partnership agreements for each of the
partnerships, Vornado has the right to make all decisions relating to the
management and operation of the partnerships other than certain major decisions
that require the approval of both the Company and Vornado. The partnership
agreement for each of the partnerships provides for a buy-sell arrangement upon
a failure of the Company and Vornado to agree on any of the specified major
decisions which, until November 1, 2000, can be exercised only by Vornado.


63

66

The parties have not yet determined certain matters relating to the future
ownership structure and operations of Americold and URS, including the
identification and division of the assets that will continue to be owned by one
of the partnerships and those that may be owned by one or more other entities
formed to conduct the business operations currently conducted by Americold and
URS, and the nature and terms of any lease that may be entered into between the
operating entity and the owner of the warehouses.

SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS

Behavioral Healthcare Facilities. On June 17, 1997, the Company acquired
substantially all of the real estate assets of the domestic hospital provider
business of Magellan Health Services, Inc. ("Magellan"), as previously owned and
operated by a wholly owned subsidiary of Magellan. The transaction involved
various components, certain of which related to the Company and certain of which
related to COI.

The total purchase price of the assets acquired in the Magellan
transaction was approximately $419,700. Of this amount, the Company paid
approximately $387,200 for the acquisition of the 90 Behavioral Healthcare
Facilities (and two additional behavioral healthcare facilities, which
subsequently were sold) and $12,500 for the acquisition of warrants to purchase
1,283,311 shares of common stock of Magellan. COI paid $5,000 for its interest
in CBHS, $12,500 for the acquisition of warrants to purchase 1,283,311 shares
of common stock of Magellan and $2,500 to CBHS after the closing in satisfaction
of certain obligations to make additional capital contributions. CBHS is owned
50% by COI and 50% by a wholly owned subsidiary of Magellan, subject to
potential dilution of each by up to 5% in connection with future incentive
compensation of management of CBHS.

The principal component of the transaction was the Company's acquisition
of the Behavioral Healthcare Facilities, which are leased to CBHS, and the
subsidiaries of CBHS, under a triple-net lease. The lease requires the payment
of annual minimum rent in the amount of $41,700, increasing in each subsequent
year during the 12-year term at a 5% compounded annual rate. The lease provides
for four, five-year renewal options. All maintenance and capital improvement
costs are the responsibility of CBHS during the term of the lease. In addition,
CBHS is required to pay annually an additional $20,000 under the lease, at least
$10,000 of which must be used, as directed by CBHS, for capital expenditures
each year and up to $10,000 of which may be used, if requested by CBHS, to cover
capital expenditures, property taxes, insurance premiums, and franchise fees.
CBHS' failure to pay the additional rent is not a default under the lease unless
the Company has incurred unreimbursed capital expenditures, property taxes,
insurance premiums or franchise fees.

PRO FORMA OPERATING RESULTS

The pro forma financial information for the years ended December 31, 1997
and 1996 assumes completion, in each case as of January 1, 1996, of (i) the 1996
and 1997 common share Offerings; (ii) the September 1997 Notes Offering; (iii)
the 1996, 1997 and 1998 acquisitions and pending investment (see Note 14); and
(iv) the February 1998 Preferred Offering (defined in Note 14).

The pro forma and operating results combine the Company's historical
operating results with the historical incremental rental income and operating
expenses including an adjustment for depreciation based on the acquisition
price associated with the Office and Retail Property acquisitions. Pro forma
adjustments primarily represent the following: (i) rental income to the Company
from the hotels acquired during 1996, 1997, and 1998 based on the lease
payments (base rent and percentage rent, if applicable) from the hotel lessees
by applying the rent provisions, (as set forth in the lease agreements) to
historical revenues of the hotel property; (ii) rental income based on the
lease payment from CBHS to the Company by applying the base rent provisions as
set forth in the lease agreement; (iii) calculated an estimated lease payment
using the historical operating results of the casino/hotel properties (the
historical operations do not represent stabilized casino/hotel operations, as
two casino/hotel properties commenced operations in 1997), (iv) adjustment for
depreciation expense for Hotel Properties, Behavioral Healthcare Facilities and
casino/hotel properties; (v) adjustment for equity in net income for the
Woodlands, Desert Mountain and Refrigerated Warehouse transactions; (vi)
interest income for the notes acquired in the Carter-Crowley transaction, the
loans to COI and loans to DMPLP; and (vii) interest costs assuming the
borrowings to finance acquisitions and assumption of debt for investments.

These pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of what the
actual financial position of the Company would have been assuming the above
property acquisitions had been consummated as of the beginning of the period,
nor do they purport to represent the future financial position of the Company.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (THROUGH MARCH 25, 1998, UNAUDITED):

Pending Investment - Station Casinos, Inc. On January 16, 1998, the
Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement")
pursuant to which Station Casinos, Inc. ("Station") will merge (the "Merger")
with and into the Company. Station is an established multi-jurisdictional
casino/hotel company that owns and operates, through wholly owned subsidiaries,
six distinctly themed casino/hotel properties, four of which are located in Las
Vegas, Nevada, one of which is located in Kansas City, Missouri and one of which
is located in St. Charles, Missouri. As a result of the Merger, the Company will
acquire the real estate and other assets of Station, except to the extent
operating assets are transferred immediately prior to the Merger, as described
below.


65

68

As part of the transactions associated with the Merger, it is
currently anticipated that certain operating assets and the employees of
Station will be transferred to a limited liability company (the "Station
Lessee") immediately prior to the Merger. The Station Lessee will be owned 50%
by COI or another entity designated established by the Company, 24.9% by an
entity owned by three of the existing directors of Station (including its
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer) and 25.1% by a separate entity
owned by other members of Station management. The Station Lessee will operate
the six casino/hotel properties currently operated by Station pursuant to a
lease with the Company. The lease will have a 10-year term, with one five-year
renewal option. The lease will provide for base and percentage rent but the
amount of the rent has not yet been determined. The Station Lessee will be
required to maintain the properties in good condition at its own expense. The
Company will establish and maintain a reserve account to be used under certain
circumstances for the purchase of furniture, fixtures and equipment with
respect to the properties. The Company will also enter into a Right of First
Refusal and Noncompetition Agreement with the Station Lessee, pursuant to which
each party will grant certain rights to the other party to participate in
future investment in and operation of casino/hotel properties and will agree
not to invest in or operate any such properties without the participation or
consent of the other party.

In order to effect the Merger, the Company will issue 0.466 common
shares of the Company for each share of common stock of Station (including each
restricted share) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Merger. In addition, the Company will create a new class of preferred shares
which will be exchanged, upon consummation of the Merger, for the shares of
$3.50 Convertible Preferred Stock of Station outstanding immediately prior to
the Merger. The new class of preferred shares will have equal priority with the
Company's Series A preferred shares as to rights to receive distributions and to
participate in distributions or payments upon any liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company.

The total value of the Merger transaction, including the Company's
issuance of common shares and preferred shares in connection with consummation
of the Merger and the Company's assumption and/or refinancing of approximately
$919,000 in existing indebtedness of Station and its subsidiaries, is
approximately $1,750,000.

In connection with the Merger, the Company also has agreed to purchase
up to $115,000 of a new class of convertible preferred stock of Station prior to
consummation of the Merger. The purchase will be made in increments, or in a
single transaction, upon call by Station subject to certain conditions, whether
or not the Merger is consummated.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions, including
Station's receipt of the approval of two-thirds of the holders of both its
common stock and its preferred stock, expiration or termination of the waiting
period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1974, and the
receipt by the Company and certain of its officers, trust managers and
affiliates of the approvals required under applicable gaming laws. The Company
anticipates that the Merger and the associated transactions will be consummated
in the fourth quarter of 1998, although there can be no assurances that the
Merger will be consummated on the terms described above.

Austin Centre. On January 23, 1998, the Company acquired Austin Centre,
a mixed-use property including a Class A office building containing
approximately 344,000 net rentable square feet and the Omni Austin Hotel
Property consisting of 314 rooms and 61 apartments, located in the CBD submarket
of Austin, Texas. The purchase price was approximately $96,400 which was funded
through a draw under the Credit Facility. A subsidiary of COI will oversee the
marketing and operations of the Omni Austin Hotel Property pursuant to a
participating triple-net lease with the Company.

Post Oak Central. On February 13, 1998 the Company acquired Post Oak
Central, a three-building Class A office complex containing approximately
1,278,000 net rentable square feet, located in the West Loop/Galleria suburban
office submarket of Houston, Texas. The purchase price was approximately
$155,250, of which $100,000 was funded through borrowings under the Company's
$250,000 short-term loan provided by BankBoston and $55,250 through a draw under
the Credit Facility.

Preferred Offering. On February 19, 1998, the Company completed an
offering (the "February 1998 Preferred Offering") of 8,000,000 shares of 6-3/4%
Series A convertible cumulative preferred shares (the "Series A Preferred
Shares") with a liquidation preference of $25 per share. Series A Preferred
Shares are convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the
holders thereof into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of


66

69
$40.86 per common share (equivalent to a conversion rate of .6119 common shares
per Series A Preferred Share), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
Net proceeds to the Company from the February 1998 Preferred Offering after
underwriting discounts of $8,000 and other offering costs of $750 were
approximately $191,250. The net proceeds from the February 1998 Preferred
Offering were used to repay borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Washington Harbour. On February 25, 1998, the Company acquired
Washington Harbour, a Class A office complex, consisting of a five-story and
an eight-story office building (the top three stories of which contain 35
luxury condominiums, which were not included in the purchase), located in the
Georgetown submarket of Washington, D.C. The two Office Properties contain
approximately 536,000 net rentable square feet. The purchase price was
approximately $161,000, which was funded through a draw under the Credit
Facility.
