PART 1


Item 1. Business

THE COMPANY

General

CarrAmerica Realty Corporation (the "Company") is a publicly-traded real estate
investment trust ("REIT") that focuses primarily on the acquisition,
development, ownership and operation of office properties in select suburban
growth markets across the United States. The Company's national office strategy
is responsive to the growing number of corporate office space users that are
relocating their operations from central business districts to suburban markets
to reduce operating costs and improve their employees' quality of life.

As of March 15, 1997, the Company owned a greater than 50% interest in a
portfolio of 170 operating office properties, and six properties currently under
construction, all of which are located in strategic markets across the United
States. These markets include Southern California, Northern California, Seattle,
Denver, Phoenix, Austin, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, South Florida and
metropolitan Washington, D.C. These 170 operating properties contain an
aggregate of approximately 13.4 million square feet of space (including
approximately 910,000 square feet under construction). The operating properties
owned by the Company as of December 31, 1996 were 93.6% leased as of that date,
with approximately 1,000 tenants.

The Company and its predecessor, The Oliver Carr Company ("OCCO"), have
successfully developed, owned and operated office buildings in the Washington,
D.C. metropolitan area for more than 30 years. In November 1995, the Company
announced a strategic alliance with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Security
Capital U.S. Realty (together with Security Capital U.S. Realty, "USRealty"), a
European real estate operating company which owns strategic positions in
selected real estate companies in the United States. USRealty initially invested
approximately $250 million in the Company in April 1996 for a 39% interest in
the Company on a fully-diluted basis. As of March 15, 1997, USRealty owned
approximately 39.7% of the outstanding common stock of the Company (35.6% on a
fully diluted basis). In April 1996, the Company changed its name to CarrAmerica
Realty Corporation.

The Company's experienced staff of over 625 employees, including over 425
on-site building employees, provides a full range of real estate services. The
Company's principal executive offices are located at 1700 Pennsylvania Avenue,
N.W., Washington, D.C. 20006, and its telephone number is (202) 624-7500. The
Company's web site can be found at www.carramerica.com. The Company was
organized as a Maryland corporation on July 9, 1992.

Business Strategy

The Company's primary business objective is to achieve long-term sustainable per
share cash flow growth by (i) acquiring, developing, owning and operating office
properties in suburban markets throughout the United States that exhibit strong,
long-term growth characteristics and (ii) developing a national operating system
that satisfies and capitalizes on the financial and operational demands of
corporate office space users. The Company believes that growth-oriented
companies are relocating to and expanding in suburban locations that offer lower
operating costs, greater convenience and a higher quality of life than
traditional central business districts. The Company seeks to provide suburban
office space which will meet the changing needs of corporate users of office
space.

The Company's business strategy is predicated on becoming one of the major
owners and operators of office space in each of its selected suburban target
markets; therefore, the Company is undertaking a major acquisition initiative as
the initial stage of its national office strategy. The Company focuses its
acquisition efforts in regions of the United States which possess strong,
long-term growth characteristics, and within those regions the Company targets,
in general, markets in which operating costs for businesses are relatively low,
long-term population and job growth are expected to exceed the national average,
and barriers to entry exist for new supply of office space. Additionally, the





Company's market officers coordinate with local third-party brokers to ensure
the identification of the best available locations. As of December 31, 1996 (on
a rentable square foot basis), 32% of the Company's portfolio was located in its
Pacific region, primarily in the suburban Seattle and the California markets of
San Jose, Silicon Valley, Pleasanton, Orange County, and San Diego; 41% in its
Southeast region, primarily in the metropolitan Washington, D.C. and suburban
Atlanta markets; and 27% in its Central and Mountain regions, primarily in the
southeast suburban Denver, suburban Chicago and Austin, Texas markets. Downtown
Washington, D.C., which represented 100% of the Company's portfolio in 1993,
accounted for approximately 19% of the Company's portfolio (on a rentable square
foot basis) at the end of 1996.

The Company has established a set of general guidelines and physical
characteristics to evaluate the acquisition opportunities available to the
Company in each identified target market. These guidelines include (i) the
purchase price of an office property typically should be at a discount to the
replacement cost of a comparable office property, (ii) rents of existing
customers with leases expiring in the near-term typically should be at or below
the current market rents for the given target market, and (iii) an office
property generally should be low-rise, with flexible floor plates that are
conducive to accommodating a variety of office space user needs. In addition,
the Company looks for office properties that have ample parking and that are
conveniently located near amenities and major transportation arteries.

To execute its national suburban office strategy, the Company is
implementing a national operating system that will provide nationally
coordinated customer service, marketing and development. The Company's national
operating system consists of three components: (i) a Market Officer Group; (ii)
a National Development Group; and (iii) a Corporate Services Group.

Market Officer Group. The Market Officer Group currently consists of nine
market officers who cover ten of the eleven target markets in which the Company
currently owns properties. These market officers are responsible for maximizing
the performance of the Company's properties in their markets and ensuring that
the needs of the Company's customers are consistently being met. Because they
meet with the Company's customers on a regular basis, they are cognizant of and
responsive to customers' relocation or expansion needs. The market officers have
extensive knowledge of local conditions in their respective markets and,
therefore, are invaluable in identifying attractive investment opportunities in
their markets. In addition, through their contact with customers, market
officers are well positioned to help the Corporate Services Group identify
customers with new build-to-suit and multi-market requirements.

National Development Group. The National Development Group is responsible
for developing suburban office properties, build-to-suit facilities and business
parks. The architects, engineers, and construction professionals who comprise
the National Development Group oversee every aspect of the Company's land
planning, building design, construction and development of office properties,
ensuring that all projects meet the same high standards and uniform
specifications in building design and systems. As the Company implements its
national strategy, the National Development Group's expertise should give the
Company a competitive edge in marketing its facilities and services to
customers. As of March 15, 1997, the Company owned (or held options to acquire)
land in six of its eleven target markets which will support the future
development of up to 3.3 million square feet of office space. The Company's goal
is to allocate approximately 5% of its invested capital to investments in
developable land. As of March 15, 1997, the Company had six suburban office
properties under construction: a 58,000 square foot building in suburban
Washington, D.C.; a 128,000 square foot building in suburban Atlanta; two
buildings totaling 295,000 square feet in southeast Denver; a 129,000 square
foot building in suburban Austin, Texas; and a 300,000 square foot building in
San Jose, California.

Corporate Services Group. The Company plans to establish the Corporate
Services Group during 1997. This group will be responsible for marketing the
Company's properties, build-to-suit capabilities, and the national scope of the
Company's operations to a targeted list of major corporate users of office
space. The Corporate Services Group will act as a primary point of contact for
national customers, coordinating all the





services the Company offers and giving corporate customers the opportunity to
address their national space requirements efficiently and economically.

Recent Developments

In 1996, the Company invested $1.1 billion ($855.4 million in cash, the
assumption of $184.4 million of debt and the issuance of $19.5 million in common
stock and partnership interests ("Units")) in 146 operating office properties,
552,000 square feet of office space under construction, and 142 acres of land
and land options held for future development. From January 1, 1997 to March 15,
1997, the Company invested $140.7 million in 10 operating office properties,
placed 1 development project of approximately 101,000 square feet into service
and acquired land which in the aggregate will support the development of 636,000
square feet of office space, 358,000 of which is currently under construction.
The 1997 acquisitions were funded through $122.6 million in cash and the
assumption of $18.1 million in debt. The table below shows the operating office
properties purchased or placed in service between January 1, 1996 and March 15,

General. As of December 31, 1996, the Company owned interests in 165 operating
office properties consisting of whole or partial ownership interests, ranging
from two to sixteen stories each, located in eleven target markets across the
United States. As of December 31, 1996, the Company owned fee simple title or
leasehold interest in 156 operating office properties, controlling partial
interests in three operating office properties, and non-controlling partial
interests of 2% to 50% in six operating office properties. In addition, as of
December 31, 1996, the Company owned four office properties under development
and a 50% interest in one additional office property development project. Except
as disclosed in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources," the
Company has no immediate plans to renovate its operating office properties other
than for routine capital maintenance. The Company believes its properties are
adequately covered by insurance. The Company believes that, as a result of its
national operating system, market research capabilities, access to capital, and
experience as an owner, operator and developer of real estate, it will continue
to be able to identify and consummate acquisition opportunities and to operate
its portfolio more effectively than competitors without such capabilities. The
Company, however, competes in many of its target markets with other real estate
operators, some of whom may have been active in such markets for a longer period
than the Company.

Additional Property Information. Because the aggregate book value of the
three properties that constitute International Square is in excess of 10% of the
Company's total assets as of December 31, 1996, additional information regarding
this property is provided below.

International Square was developed in three phases that were completed in
1977, 1979 and 1982. The complex occupies three-quarters of a city block
bordered by K, 18th, 19th and Eye Streets, N.W., directly above Farragut West,
one of Washington, D.C.'s busiest Metro stations. The Metro level of
International Square offers a 600-seat food court, with more than a dozen
carry-out food establishments, serving a variety of international foods. The
street level of International Square contains more than 20 retail stores,
including a book store, a travel agency, clothing stores, and restaurants. A
two-level underground parking garage contains approximately 725 parking spaces.
The Company has no immediate plans to renovate International Square other than
for routine capital maintenance and believes the property is adequately covered
by insurance.

As of December 31, 1996, approximately 91.7% of the rentable square footage
in the three buildings constituting International Square was leased. The
following table sets forth the percent leased and average annualized rent per
leased square foot (excluding storage space) for the past five years for
International Square:

(1) Calculated as total building operating revenue, including tenant
reimbursements for operating expenses and excluding parking and storage
revenue, divided by the total square feet in the building, excluding
storage, under lease at year-end.

At December 31, 1996, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF"), an
intergovernmental financial agency, occupied 432,310 square feet in
International Square under direct leases with the Company that expire during
1998 and 2002. The IMF is currently constructing an office building in
Washington, D.C. which should be completed by 1998, and the IMF may move some of
its employees currently in International Square to their new building. The
Company has had discussions with the IMF and they have indicated that they may
reduce their office space requirements in International Square by approximately
133,000 square feet by the year 2000; however, there can be no assurances that
the IMF will not vacate more space than 133,000 square feet.

Three tenants in 1850 K Street, Phase I of the project, occupy over 10% of
the rentable square footage. As of December 31, 1996, the IMF occupied 94,258
square feet (25% of the rentable square footage) pursuant to a lease which
expires January 15, 1998. The IMF has an option to renew the lease on 39,270
square feet for two consecutive five-year periods and an option to renew the
lease on 12,456 square feet for consecutive terms of two and a half years and
five years. The law firm of McDermott, Will & Emery occupies 62,975 square feet
(17% of the rentable square footage) pursuant to a lease which expires on
December 31, 1997. McDermott, Will & Emery has notified the Company that it
plans to vacate its space on September 30, 1997. Merrill Lynch occupies 51,232
square feet (14% of the rentable square footage) pursuant to a lease that
expires on December 31, 2008, with an option to renew for two five-year terms.

The IMF is the only tenant occupying more than 10% of the rentable square
footage in 1825 Eye Street, Phase II of the project, occupying 63% of the
rentable square footage in that building as of December 31, 1996. Its leases,
which expire on various dates from January 15, 1998 to August 1, 2002, cover
234,153 square feet. The lease that expires as of January 15, 1998 contains an
option to renew the lease on 74,269 square feet for two consecutive five-year
terms. The lease that expires on August 1, 2002 contains an option to renew the
lease on 96,013 square feet for an additional five-year term.





The IMF is the only tenant in 1875 Eye Street, Phase III of the project,
occupying more than 10% of the rentable square footage. The IMF occupies 103,899
square feet (39% of the rentable square footage) pursuant to three leases which
expire on July 31, 2002 and provide renewal options on the entire space for two
five-year terms.

The following table sets out a schedule of the lease expirations for
International Square for each of the ten years beginning with 1997 and
thereafter:

The aggregate tax basis of depreciable real property of the office
properties constituting International Square for Federal income tax purposes is
$149,350,000 as of December 31, 1996. Depreciation and amortization are computed
on the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), Accelerated Cost
Recovery System (ACRS), declining balance or straight-line methods over the
estimated useful lives of the real property which range from 15 to 50 years. The
aggregate tax basis for depreciable personal property associated with these
office properties for Federal income tax purposes is $1,010,000 as of December
31, 1996. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the double declining
balance method or straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the
personal property of 5 to 7 years.

The current realty tax rate for International Square is $2.15 per $100 of
assessed value. The total annual tax at this rate for 1997 is $3,561,000 at an
assessed value of $165,640,000.

For additional information regarding the Company's office properties and
their operation, see "Item 1, Business."

PART II


Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity & Related Stockholder Matters

The Company's common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE")
under the symbol "CRE". The Company's common stock was listed on the NYSE
beginning on February 9, 1993. As of February 28, 1997, there were 423

On April 30, 1996, the Company sold 11,627,907 shares of its common stock
directly to USRealty. These shares were not registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") in reliance on Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act based on the fact that USRealty is a single, sophisticated
investor.

On July 24, 1996, the Company sold 2,785,714 shares of its common stock
directly to USRealty, which shares were not registered under the Securities Act.
These shares were sold in connection with a public offering by the Company of
6,500,000 shares of common stock, of which USRealty bought 400,000 shares of
common stock. The 2,785,714 shares were sold at the public offering price of
$22.00 per share in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act based on the
fact that USRealty is a single, sophisticated investor with a previous
investment relationship with the Company. No underwriting discount was applied
to any shares purchased by USRealty directly from the Company or in the public
offering.

The Company, in order to qualify as a REIT, is required to make
distributions (other than capital gain distributions) to its stockholders in
amounts at least equal to (i) the sum of (A) 95% of its "REIT taxable income"
(computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and its net capital
gain) and (B) 95% of the net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure
property, minus (ii) the sum of certain items of non-cash income. The Company's
distribution strategy is to distribute what it believes is a conservative
percentage of its cash flow permitting the Company to retain funds for capital
improvements and other investments while funding its distributions.

For Federal income tax purposes, distributions may consist of ordinary
income, capital gains, nontaxable return of capital or a combination thereof.
Distributions that exceed the Company's current and accumulated earnings and
profits (calculated for tax purposes) constitute a return of capital rather than
a dividend and reduce the stockholder's basis in his or her shares of common
stock. To the extent that a distribution exceeds both current and accumulated
earnings and profits and the stockholder's basis in his or her shares, it will
generally be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of that stockholder's
shares. The Company annually notifies stockholders of the taxability of
distributions paid during the preceding year. The following table sets forth the
taxability of distributions paid in 1996, 1995, and 1994:

1996 1995 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ordinary income 95% 85% 75%
Capital Gain -- -- --
Return of Capital 5% 15% 25%

March 3, 1995, funds from operations represents net income (loss) (computed

gains (or losses) from debt restructuring or sales of property, plus
depreciation and amortization of assets uniquely significant to the real
estate industry and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and
joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same
basis. The Company's funds from operations in 1994 and 1993 and the Carr
Group's funds from operations in 1993 and 1992 have been restated to conform
to the new NAREIT definition of funds from operations. Funds from operations
does not represent net income or cash flow generated from operating
activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of
the Company's performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity or the
Company's ability to make distributions.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion is based primarily on the Consolidated Financial
Statements of CarrAmerica Realty Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December
31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
financial statements and notes thereto. These financial statements include all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair
statement of the periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal,
recurring nature.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--1996 TO 1995

Real Estate Operating Revenue. Total real estate operating revenue increased
$65.8 million, or 65.3%, to $166.7 million for 1996 as compared to $100.9
million for 1995. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a $64.6
million and a $1.2 million increase in rental revenue and real estate service
revenue, respectively. The Company experienced net growth in its rental revenue
as a result of its acquisitions, which contributed approximately $68.2 million
of additional rental revenue in 1996. Rental revenue from properties that were
fully operating throughout both years decreased by approximately $3.6 million
due to increased vacancies experienced in those properties. Real estate service
revenue increased by $1.2 million, or 10.6% for 1996 to $12.5 million as
compared to $11.3 million for 1995. The increase was primarily as a result of
development fees earned by Carr Development & Construction, Inc., which was
acquired by the Company in May 1996.

Real Estate Operating Expenses. Total real estate operating expenses
increased $54.4 million for 1996, or 65.8%, to $137.1 million as compared to
$82.7 million for 1995. The net increase in operating expenses was attributable
to a $20.3 million increase in property operating expenses, a $9.8 million
increase in interest expense, a $4.5 million increase in general and
administrative expenses, and a $19.8 million increase in depreciation and
amortization. The increase in property operating expenses was primarily
attributable to $20.2 million in operating expenses associated with property
acquisitions. Exclusive of operating expenses attributable to new property
acquisitions, property operating expenses increased by $.1 million for 1996. The
increase in the Company's interest expense is primarily related to borrowings
for acquisitions. The increase in general and administrative expenses is
predominantly a result of the addition of new staff to implement the Company's
new business strategy, the addition of approximately $1.8 million of expenses
associated with Carr Development & Construction, Inc., and inflation. The
increase in depreciation and amortization was predominately a result of
additional depreciation and amortization on the Company's real estate
acquisitions.

Other Operating Income (Expense). Other operating income (expense) increased
$.8 million for 1996, to ($.1) million as compared to ($.9) million for 1995,
primarily as a result of an increase in interest income and the addition of
equity in earnings of CC-JM II Associates, a joint venture which owns the
Booz-Allen & Hamilton Building. The Company is a 50% venturer in this entity,
which constructed the Booz-Allen & Hamilton Building that was placed in service
in January 1996. The increases in other operating income were partially offset
by an additional loss recognized on the write-off of intangible assets.

Net Income. Net income of $24.3 million was earned for 1996 as compared to
$12.1 million during 1995. The comparability of net income between the two
periods is impacted by the acquisitions the Company made and the other changes
described above.

Cash Flows. Net cash provided by operating activities increased $47.0
million, or 133.3%, to $82.3 million for 1996 as compared to $35.3 million for
1995, primarily as a result of the acquisitions made by the Company. Net cash
used by investing activities increased $795.3 million, to $876.9 million for
1996 as compared to $81.6 million for 1995, primarily as a result of capital
deployed by the Company for acquisitions of office properties, land held for
future development and construction in progress. Net cash provided by financing
activities increased $776.0 million to $813.1 million provided for 1996 as
compared to $37.1 million provided for 1995, primarily as a result of the sale
of common stock and preferred stock by the Company and net borrowings for the
Company's acquisitions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--1995 TO 1994

Real Estate Operating Revenue. Total real estate operating revenue increased
$9.3 million, or 10.2%, to $100.9 million in 1995 as compared to $91.6 million
in 1994. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to a $6.9 million
and a $2.4 million increase in rental revenue and real estate service revenue,
respectively. The Company experienced net growth in its rental revenue as a
result of its acquisitions which contributed approximately $8.1 million of
additional rental revenue in 1995. Rental revenue contributed by properties that
were fully operating throughout both periods declined by approximately $1.2
million, or 1.5%. These properties, all of which were located in downtown
Washington, D.C., experienced lower rental revenue in the aggregate during 1995
as a result of (a) lower occupancy rates, (b) the renegotiation of certain
tenants' leases resulting in lower rental rates, and (c) new leases entered into
by the Company at rates lower than the expiring leases' rental rates. The
Company experienced growth in its real estate service income of $1.7 million as
a result of its acquisition of real estate service contracts in 1995. In
addition, real estate service revenues from the Company's core service contracts
increased by $.7 million, or 8.2%, in 1995.

Real Estate Operating Expenses. Total real estate operating expenses
increased $7.7 million, or 10.2%, to $82.7 million as compared to $75.0 million
in 1994. The net increase in operating expenses was attributable to a $1.9
million increase in property operating expenses, a $.5 million increase in
interest expense, a $1.2 million increase in general and administrative
expenses, and a $4.1 million increase in depreciation and amortization. The
increase in property operating expenses was primarily attributable to $2.4
million in operating expenses associated with property acquisitions. Exclusive
of operating expenses attributable to new property acquisitions, property
operating expenses decreased $.5 million, or 1.9%, in 1995 predominately as a
result of lower real estate tax assessments. The increase in the Company's
interest expense is primarily related to borrowings for acquisitions. The
increase in general and administrative expenses is predominately a result of
general and administrative expenses associated with the real estate service
contracts acquired in 1995 and inflation. The increase in depreciation and
amortization is predominately a result of depreciation and amortization on the
Company's real estate and real estate service contract acquisitions.

Other Operating Income (Expense). In January 1996, the Company terminated an
agreement to acquire the development business of The Evans Company and, as a
result, recognized a $1.9 million non-recurring charge to its earnings in the
fourth quarter of 1995. The Company took this action in order to focus on
implementing its national growth strategy.

Net Income. Net income of $12.1 million was earned during 1995 as compared
to $12.1 million during 1994. The comparability of net income between the two
periods is impacted by the acquisitions the Company made and the other changes
described above.

Cash Flows. Net cash provided by operating activities increased $5.4
million, or 18.0%, to $35.3 million in 1995 as compared to $29.9 million in
1994, primarily as a result of the acquisitions made by the Company. Net cash
used by investing activities increased $14.6 million, or 21.8%, to $81.6 million
in 1995 as compared to $67.0 million in 1994, primarily as a result of capital
deployed by the Company for acquisitions of office properties and real estate
service contracts. Net cash provided by financing activities increased $4.5
million, or 13.7%, to $37.1 million in 1995 as compared to $32.6 million in
1994, primarily as a result of net borrowings for the Company's acquisitions.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's total indebtedness at December 31, 1996 was $655.4 million, of
which $215.0 million, or 32.8%, had a LIBOR-based floating interest rate. The
Company's fixed rate indebtedness had an effective weighted average interest
rate of 8.1% and had a weighted average term to maturity of 5.8 years. In
addition to the indebtedness outstanding, the Company had total borrowing
capacity under its unsecured line of credit of $283.0 million allowing the
Company to borrow up to an additional $68.0 million at December 31, 1996. Based
upon the Company's total market capitalization at December 31, 1996 of $2.147
billion (the stock price was $29.25 per share and the total shares/Units
outstanding were 51,008,319), the Company's debt represented 30.52% of its total
market capitalization. On January 28, 1997, the Company obtained a $150 million,
short-term revolving credit facility from Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New
York, secured by certain of the Company's properties. The Company currently has
$89.0 million of borrowing capacity under this facility, of which, as of March
15, 1997, the Company had drawn $86.0 million. The Company intends to use the
credit facility to finance the acquisitions and development of office properties
and to meet working capital needs.



The Company will require capital to invest in its existing portfolio of
operating assets for major capital projects such as large-scale renovations,
routine capital expenditures and deferred maintenance on certain properties
recently acquired and tenant related capital expenditures, such as tenant
improvements and allowances and leasing commissions. With respect to major
capital projects, the Company is planning a renovation of a 327,000 square foot
property in southeast Denver during 1997 which will cost $2.0 million, or
approximately $5.00 per square foot. During 1997, the Company is also completing
renovations of several garages in its downtown Washington, D.C. portfolio. The
total remaining cost of the garage renovations will be approximately $1.7
million. With respect to routine capital expenditures and deferred maintenance
on certain properties recently acquired, the Company anticipates spending
approximately $5.8 million, or approximately $0.52 per square foot, during 1997
on its portfolio of operating assets owned as of December 31, 1996. The Company
expects this amount to decrease in subsequent years as deferred maintenance
activities are completed on recently acquired properties and as the emphasis of
the Company's growth shifts from acquiring existing office properties to
developing new properties. The Company's capital requirements for tenant related
capital expenditures are dependent upon a number of factors including square
feet of expiring leases, tenant retention ratios and whether the expiring leases
are in central business district properties or suburban properties. During 1997,
the Company has 256,347 square feet and 1,251,459 square feet of expiring leases
in central business district properties and suburban properties, respectively.
Tenant related capital expenditures (tenant improvements, cash allowances and
leasing commissions) for 1996 were $19.22 per square foot and $7.56 per square
foot for leases executed in 1996 for the Company's central business district
properties and suburban properties, respectively. The Company intends to use
cash flow from operations and its unsecured revolving credit facility to meet
its working capital needs for its existing portfolio of operating assets.

The Company will also require a substantial amount of capital for
development projects currently underway and planned for the future. The Company
currently has six development projects underway which are expected to require a
total investment by the Company of $119.4 million. The Company intends to use
cash flow from operations and its unsecured, revolving credit facility to meet
its working capital needs for its existing portfolio of operating assets.

Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $82.3 million for 1996,
compared to $35.3 million in 1995. The increase in net cash flow provided by
operating activities was primarily as a result of acquisitions made by the
Company.

The Company's investing activities used approximately $876.9 million and
$81.6 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Company's investment
activities included the investment in the acquisition of operating properties,
land and real estate service contracts, as well as meeting the construction
costs of its properties currently under development, of approximately $857.1
million and $71.8 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively. Additionally, the
Company invested approximately $11.5 million and $8.9 million in 1996 and 1995,
respectively, in its existing real estate assets.

Net of distributions to the Company's shareholders, the Company's financing
activities provided net cash of $813.1 million and $37.1 million in 1996 and
1995, respectively. The Company had net borrowings of approximately $215.0
million in 1996 and borrowings of $72.0 million in 1995, to provide adequate
capital for the Company's investing activities. Additionally, in 1996, the
Company raised $708.5 million in net proceeds from the sales of common stock and
preferred stock to provide adequate capital for the Company's investing
activities and to repay certain indebtedness. In 1995, the Company did not raise
any capital from equity offerings.

Rental revenue and real estate service revenue have been the principal
sources of capital to fund the Company's operating expenses, debt service and
capital expenditures, excluding non-recurring capital expenditures. The Company
believes that rental revenue and real estate service revenue will continue to
provide the necessary funds for its operating expenses and debt service. The
Company expects to fund capital expenditures, including tenant concession
packages, building renovations and construction costs, from (i) available funds
from operations, (ii) existing capital reserves, and (iii) if necessary, credit
facilities established with third party lenders. If these sources of funds are
insufficient, the Company's ability to make expected distributions may be
adversely impacted. At December 31, 1996, the Company had cash of $35.9 million,
of which $8.2 million was restricted.



The Company's dividends are paid quarterly. Amounts accumulated for
distribution are primarily invested by the Company in short-term investments
that are collateralized by securities of the United States Government or any of
its agencies.

Management believes that the Company will have access to the capital
resources necessary to expand and develop its business. Accordingly, the Company
may seek to obtain funds through additional equity offerings or debt financings
in a manner consistent with its intention to operate with a conservative
borrowing policy. The Company anticipates that adequate cash will be available
to fund its operating and administrative expenses, continuing debt service
obligations, the payment of dividends in accordance with REIT requirements in
both the short-term and long-term, and future acquisitions of rental properties.

The Company believes that funds from operations is an appropriate measure of
the performance of an equity REIT because industry analysts have accepted it as
a performance measure of equity REITs. In accordance with the final NAREIT White
Paper on Funds From Operations as approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT
on March 3, 1995, funds from operations represents net income (loss) (computed
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains
(or losses) from debt restructuring or sales of property, plus depreciation and
amortization of assets uniquely significant to the real estate industry and
after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be
calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. The Company's
funds from operations in 1994 have been restated to conform to the new NAREIT
definition of funds from operations. Funds from operations does not represent
net income or cash flow generated from operating activities in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered an
alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's performance or to
cash flows as a measure of liquidity or the Company's ability to make
distributions.

The following table sets forth the calculation of the Company's funds from
operations for 1996, 1995 and 1994:

Changes in funds from operations are largely attributable to changes in net

Acquisition and Development Activity

The following is a discussion of the Company's acquisition and development
activity during 1996. A more detailed discussion can be found in "Item 1.
Business -- Recent Developments."

During 1996, the Company acquired the following properties: in its Pacific
region, the Company acquired an aggregate of 73 buildings containing a total of
approximately 4.0 million square feet, for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $454.3 million; in its Mountain region, the Company acquired an
aggregate of 13 buildings containing a total of approximately 1.3 million square
feet, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $112.7 million; in its
Central region, the Company acquired an aggregate of 17 buildings containing a
total of approximately 2.1 million square feet, for an aggregate purchase price
of approximately $243.5 million; and in its Southeast region, the Company
acquired an aggregate of 43 buildings containing a total of approximately 1.8
million square feet, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $178.3
million.




During 1996, the Company also acquired or purchased options to acquire 142
acres of developable land in four of its target markets: suburban Seattle;
southeast Denver; Austin, Texas; and suburban Chicago. In the aggregate, this
land (including land subject to purchase options) will support development of up
to 3.2 million square feet of office space. In addition, as of December 31,
1996, the Company had three properties under construction: 128,000 square feet
in suburban Atlanta; and an aggregate of 295,000 square feet in southeast Denver
(including a build-to-suit project with 189,000 rentable square feet). Land held
for development was purchased for an aggregate purchase price of $32.3 million.
Costs incurred during 1996 for properties under construction were $31.7 million.
An additional $36.3 million will be expended for completion of projects already
under construction as of December 31, 1996.

CARRAMERICA REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1) Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Business

CarrAmerica Realty Corporation (the "Company"), formerly Carr Realty
Corporation, is a self-administered and self-managed equity real estate
investment trust ("REIT"), organized under the laws of Maryland, which owns,
develops, acquires and operates office buildings. The Company's office
properties are located in eleven suburban markets across the United States.

(b) Basis of Presentation

The accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated
in the accompanying financial statements. The Company uses the equity method of
accounting for its investments in and earnings and losses of unconsolidated
partnerships not controlled by the Company. Management of the Company has made a
number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform
with the presentation for 1996.

(c) Rental Property

Rental property is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation (which is less
than the net realizable value of the rental property). Depreciation is computed
on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as
follows:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Base Building 30 to 50 years
Building components 7 to 20 years
Tenant improvements Terms of the leases or useful lives,
whichever is shorter
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 5 to 15 years


Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred. Significant renovations are capitalized.

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, on
January 1, 1996. This Statement requires that long-lived assets, such as the
Company's rental property, and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to
be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset
to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets
are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by
the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of
the assets. Adoption of this Statement had no effect on the Company's financial
position, results of operations, or liquidity.

(d) Development Property

Land held for development and construction in progress are carried at cost.
Specifically identifiable direct and indirect acquisition, development and
construction costs are capitalized including, where applicable, salaries and
related costs, real estate taxes, interest and certain pre-construction costs
essential to the development of the property.

(e) Tenant Leasing Costs

Fees and costs incurred in the successful negotiation of leases have been
deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the
respective leases.

(f) Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain financing and
are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans on a basis which
approximates the interest method.

F-7





(g) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of the following financial instruments approximates fair
value because of their short-term maturity: cash and cash equivalents; accounts
and notes receivable; accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities.

(h) Revenue Recognition

The Company reports base rental revenue for financial statement purposes
straight-line over the terms of the respective leases. Accrued straight-line
rents represent the amount that straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents
collected in accordance with the lease agreements. Management, considering
current information and events regarding the tenants' ability to fulfill their
lease obligations, considers accrued straight-line rents to be impaired if it is
probable that the Company will be unable to collect all rents due according to
the contractual lease terms. If accrued straight-line rents associated with a
tenant are considered to be impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured
based on the present value of expected future cash flows. Impairment losses, if
any, are recorded through a loss on the write-off of assets. Cash receipts on
impaired accrued straight-line rents are applied to reduce the remaining
outstanding balance and as rental revenue, thereafter.

The Company receives real estate service revenue for certain properties it
manages, leases and develops for third parties. Such revenue is recognized as
revenue as earned.

(i) Income and Other Taxes

The Company qualifies as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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 at least 95 percent of its
taxable income to its shareholders and complies with certain other requirements.
Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes for the Company
and certain of its subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company's income tax basis in its
assets was approximately $1.5 billion and $474.5 million, respectively.

Certain subsidiaries, organized as partnerships, of the Company are subject
to District of Columbia franchise taxes. Franchise taxes are recorded as general
and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

Carr Development & Construction, Inc. ("CDC"), the Company's development
subsidiary, and Carr Real Estate Services, Inc. ("CRESI"), the Company's real
estate service subsidiary, file separate tax returns and are subject to federal,
state and local income taxes. The Company has adopted the asset and liability
method of accounting for CDC's and CRESI's income taxes. Under the asset and
liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases and to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period of the enactment date. The effect of the asset and liability method on
the Company's financial statements is insignificant. The Company's subsidiaries
did not incur any income tax expense in 1996, 1995 or 1994.

(j) Real Estate Service Contracts and Other Intangible Assets

Real estate service contracts and other intangible assets represent the purchase
price of net assets of real estate service operations acquired and are amortized
on the straight-line basis over the expected lives of the respective real estate
service contracts. The Company assesses the recoverability of these intangible
assets by determining whether the amortization of the balance over its remaining
life can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows of the
acquired operation. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured as the
amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the
assets. The assessment of the recoverability of these intangible assets will be
impacted if estimated future operating cash flows are not achieved.

(k) Per Share Data and Dividends

Net income per share of common stock is based upon the weighted average number
of common shares and share equivalents outstanding during the year. When
dilutive, stock options and Units are included as share equivalents. The
weighted average number of shares used in the computations was 31,999,580 for
1996, 13,338,080 for 1995 and 11,387,030 for 1994.

Net income for 1996 used in the computations was reduced by cumulative
preferred stock dividends of $572 thousand.

Following is the income tax status of dividends paid during the years ended
December 31:

1996 1995 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ordinary income 95% 85% 75%
Capital Gain -- -- --
Return of Capital 5% 15% 25%

(l) Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of
purchase to be cash equivalents.

(m) Stock/Unit Option Plans

Prior to January 1, 1996, the Company accounted for its option plans in
accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations.
As such, compensation expenses would be recorded only if the current market
price of the underlying unit or stock on the date of grant exceeded the exercise
price. As of January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, which permits entities to recognize as expense, over
the vesting period, the fair value of all unit-based and stock-based awards on
the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 allows entities to continue to
apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net income and
pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee option grants made in 1995
and future years as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had
been applied. The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB
Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of escrow deposits
required by lenders to be used for future building renovations, tenant
improvements or as collateral for letters of credit.

Based on the borrowing rates available to the Company for mortgages and
notes payable with similar terms and average maturities, the estimated fair
value of the Company's mortgages and notes at December 31, 1996 and 1995 was
approximately $644.5 million and $309.1 million, respectively.

(3) Minority Interest

In conjunction with the formation of the Company and its majority-owned
subsidiary, Carr Realty, L.P., persons contributing interests in properties to
Carr Realty, L.P. had the right to elect to receive either common stock of the
Company or Units in Carr Realty, L.P. In addition, the Company has acquired
certain assets since its formation by issuing dividend paying Units and
non-dividend paying Units of Carr Realty, L.P. and CarrAmerica Realty, L.P. The
non-dividend paying Units are not entitled to any distributions until they
automatically convert into dividend paying Units at various dates in the future.
Each dividend paying Unit, subject to certain restrictions, may be redeemed for
either one share of common stock or, at the option of the Company, cash equal to
the fair market value of a share of common stock at the time of the redemption.
When a Unitholder redeems a dividend paying Unit for a share of common stock or
cash, minority interest is reduced and the Company's investment in Carr Realty,
L.P. or CarrAmerica Realty, L.P., as the case may be, is increased. During the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, 212,293 and 161,166 dividend paying
Units, respectively, of Carr Realty, L.P. or CarrAmerica Realty, L.P., were
redeemed for common stock of the Company.

The following table sets forth the common stock and preferred stock of the
Company and Units of Carr Realty, L.P. and CarrAmerica Realty, L.P.:

The leases also provide for additional rent based on increases in the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) and increases in operating expenses. These increases
are generally payable in equal installments throughout the year, based on
estimated increases, with any differences being adjusted in the succeeding year.

The Company's largest tenant is AT&T with a master lease of approximately .9
million square feet of office space at AT&T Center which represents 7.6% of net
rentable space in the Company's consolidated office properties at December 31,
1996. No other single tenant occupies more than 5% of the net rentable space.

(6) Land Leases

The Company leases land beneath three office properties located in metropolitan
Washington, D.C. and Austin, Texas. The Company also leases land adjacent to an
office property in suburban Chicago. The terms of these leases range from 5
years to 99 years, with the last lease maturing in the year 2086. The minimum
base annual rental payment associated with these leases is $1.2 million.

(7) Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 30,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. On
October 25, 1996, the Company issued 1,740,000 shares of Series A Cumulative
Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") at $25 per
share. Dividends for the Series A Preferred Stock are cumulative from the date
of issuance and are payable quarterly in arrears in an amount per share equal to
the greater of (1) $1.75 per share per annum, or (2) the cash dividend paid on
the number of shares, or portion thereof, of the Company's common stock into
which a share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible. The Series A Preferred
Stock has a liquidation preference of $25 per share. After April 25, 1997, each
share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder,
into one share of the Company's common stock, subject to certain conversion
adjustments. After October 25, 1999, each share of Series A Preferred Stock is
redeemable at the Company's option, at $25 per share, plus accrued and unpaid
dividends.

(8) Stock/Unit Option Plans

As of December 31, 1996, the Company had two option plans: one plan for the
purpose of attracting and retaining executive officers and other key employees
(Employee Unit Option Plan); and the other plan for the purpose of attracting
and retaining directors who are not employees of the Company (Non-Employee
Director Stock Option Plan).

The Employee Unit Option Plan allows for the grant of options to purchase
Units of Carr Realty, L.P. (Unit options) that are exerciseable at the fair
market value of the Units at the date of grant, which is deemed to be equivalent
to the fair market value of the Company's common stock at such date. Units
(following exercise of Unit options) are redeemable for cash or common stock of
the Company, at the option of the Company. The Unit options have a 10-year term
from the date of grant and vest over a five-year period, 20% per year. At
December 31, 1996, the Company had 1,266,900 Units reserved for issuance under
the Employee Unit Option Plan, of which 941,348 were outstanding.

F-13



The Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of
options to purchase the Company's common stock at an exercise price which is
equal to the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. The
Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan was approved by the Company's
stockholders at its Annual Meeting of Stockholders on April 28, 1995, following
which each then-serving non-employee director was granted options to purchase
3,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Immediately following each annual
election of directors, each then-serving non-employee director will receive
options to purchase 5,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The stock
options have a 10-year term from the date of grant and vest over a three-year
period, 33 1/3% per year. At December 31, 1996, the Company had 150,000 shares
of common stock reserved for issuance under the Non-Employee Director Stock
Option Plan, of which 61,000 were outstanding.

As approved by the Board of Directors (subject to shareholder approval), the
Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 25,000 shares of the
Company's common stock to two key employees in 1996. The stock options have a
10-year term from the date of grant and vest over a five-year period, 20% per
year. All 25,000 options were outstanding at December 31, 1996.

The per share weighted-average fair value of Unit options and stock options
granted during 1996 and 1995 was $2.15 and $1.92, respectively, on the date of
grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following
weighed-average assumptions: 1996 - expected dividend yield of 7.893%, risk
free interest rate of 6.08%, stock volatility of 19.45%, and expected option
life of 4.02 years; 1995 - expected dividend yield of 7.893%, risk free interest
rate of 7.06%, stock volatility of 19.45%, and expected option life of 5.38
years.

F-14




The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its Unit options
and stock options and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for
its Unit options and stock options in the financial statements. The pro forma
effect of compensation costs, based on the fair value at the date of grant, of
the Unit options and stock options is immaterial to the Company's consolidated
financial statements and therefore is not presented. Unit option and stock
option activity during 1996 and 1995 is as follows:

At December 31, 1996, the range of exercise prices was between $17.75 and
$25.13 per Unit/share and the weighted-average remaining contractual life of
outstanding options was 7.29 years.

At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the number of options exercisable was 526,420
and 345,921, respectively, and the weighted average exercise price of those
options was $22.72 and $22.67 per Unit/share, respectively.

(9) Employee Benefits

The Company has a 401(k) plan for employees that will match 50% of employee
contributions up to the first 4% of an employee's pay and will make a base
contribution of 3% of pay for participants who remain employed on December 31,
the end of the plan year. The Company contributions are subject to a five-year
graduated vesting schedule. Company contributions to the plan amounted to $.3
million in 1996, $.3 million in 1995, and $.3 million in 1994.

("OCCO") until April 30, 1996 when the Company acquired it for $1.75 million.
Carr Development and Construction was the development manager of 1717
Pennsylvania Avenue during 1995 and a portion of 1996. OCCO earned fees of $.2
million and $.5 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

On January 31, 1996, the Company terminated an agreement to acquire the
development business of The Evans Company ("Evans") and, as a result, in 1995
the Company recognized a $1.9 million loss on its investment. Furthermore, in
1996, the Company wrote off approximately $2.3 million of the unamortized
purchase price of certain third-party real estate service contracts that were
terminated during the year. These contracts were acquired from Evans in 1995 and
were terminated early as a result of the sale of the properties by third-party
owners.

(12) Segment Operations

The Company is engaged in the ownership and rental of commercial office
buildings and provides real estate services on a contractual basis to both
related and unrelated parties. Revenue from real estate services provided to
properties wholly-owned by the Company and to properties that are owned by
partnerships that are consolidated in the Company's consolidated financial
statements is eliminated in consolidation. During 1996, the Company's real
estate service operations did not account for more than 10% of the Company's
revenue and are not anticipated to exceed 10% in future years. As a result,
information regarding segment operations is not provided for 1996.

(14) Subsequent Events

In January 1997, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement to borrow
up to $150.0 million secured by certain properties in the Company's portfolio.
The facility bears interest at 162.5 basis points over LIBOR. The agreement is
for an initial six-month period with two six-month options to extend.

In January 1997, the Company consummated a public offering and a concurrent
offering to a wholly-owned subsidiary of USRealty of 4,928,570 shares of common
stock that raised net proceeds of approximately $136 million. The net proceeds
were used to acquire the suburban office properties and land discussed below,
and to pay down indebtedness under the Company's unsecured line of credit.

Since January 1, 1997, the Company has acquired or placed into service 11
operating office properties, totaling approximately 1.0 million square feet. In
addition, since January 1, 1997, the Company has acquired 26 acres of land which
will support the future development of 636,000 square feet of office space. The
purchase of these properties was financed by the assumption of $18.1 million in
debt and the payment of $102.4 million in cash. These acquisitions added to the
Company's holdings as follows (unaudited):
