     You should read these consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

     Certain amounts in prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current period.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

     SFAS No. 123R. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment.” The new FASB rule requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. We will be required to apply SFAS No. 123R beginning January 1, 2006. The scope of SFAS No. 123R includes a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board, or APB, Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No. 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in Opinion 25, as long as the footnotes to the financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used. Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the fair value expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 on a prospective basis. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R.

Significant Accounting Policies

     Stock-Based Compensation. Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the fair value expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 on a prospective basis as permitted by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” which requires that the fair value of stock options at the date of grant be amortized ratably into expense over the appropriate vesting period. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we granted stock options and recognized compensation expense that was not significant to our results of operations. With respect to our stock options which were granted prior to 2003, we accounted for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25, and related Interpretations.

     Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the Plans consistent with SFAS No. 123, our net loss and loss per share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:

  $ (.10 )   $ (.19 )
Diluted – as reported

Diluted – pro forma
  $ (.10 )   $ (.19 )

     Earnings Per Share. SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” or EPS, specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share.

     Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS amount. We present both basic and diluted earnings per share.

     The following table presents a reconciliation for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, of basic and diluted earnings per share from “Loss before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle” to “Net loss available to common shareholders.” The table also includes weighted average shares on a basic and diluted basis.

     The effect of the conversion of the Series A Convertible Cumulative Preferred Shares or the convertible Operating Partnership units are not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, since the effect of the conversions are anti-dilutive.

3. SEGMENT REPORTING

     For purposes of segment reporting as defined in SFAS No. 131, we have four major investment segments based on property type: the Office Segment; the Resort/Hotel Segment; the Residential Development Segment; and the Temperature-Controlled Logistics Segment. Management utilizes this segment structure for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

     We use funds from operations, or FFO, as the measure of segment profit or loss. FFO, as used in this document, is based on the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, and means:

  •   Net Income (Loss) – determined in accordance with GAAP;
 
  •   excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciable operating property;
 
  •   excluding extraordinary items (as defined by GAAP);
 
  •   plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets; and
 
  •   after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

     We calculate FFO available to common shareholders – diluted – NAREIT definition in the same manner, except that Net Income (Loss) is replaced by Net Income (Loss) Available to Common Shareholders and we include the effect of Operating Partnership unitholder minority interests. We calculate Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders – diluted by excluding the effect of impairment charges related to real estate assets and the effect of extinguishment of debt expense related to real estate asset sales.

     NAREIT developed FFO as a relative measure of performance of an equity REIT to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. We consider FFO available to common shareholders – diluted – NAREIT definition and FFO appropriate measures of performance for an equity REIT and for its investment segments. However, FFO available to common shareholders — diluted — NAREIT definition and FFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indication of our operating performance.

     Our measures of FFO available to common shareholders – diluted – NAREIT definition and FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs if those REITs apply the definition of FFO in a different manner than we apply it.

4. ACQUISITIONS

Office Acquisition

     On February 7, 2005, we acquired the Exchange Building, a 295,525 square foot Class A Office Property located in Seattle, Washington. We acquired the Office Property for approximately $52.5 million, funded by a draw on our credit facility. This property is wholly-owned and is included in our Office Segment.

Other Real Estate Investments

     On February 7, 2005, we purchased a $34.5 million mezzanine loan in which we immediately sold a 50% participating interest for $17.25 million. The loan is secured by ownership interests in an entity that owns an office property in New York. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 775 basis points with an interest-only term until maturity in March 2007, subject to the right of the borrower to extend the loan pursuant to three one-year extension options.

     On March 31, 2005, we purchased a $32.9 million mezzanine loan for $33.2 million secured by the ownership interests in a resort in Florida. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 12% with an interest-only term until maturity in April 2008, subject to the right of the borrower to extend the loan pursuant to one four-year extension bearing either a floating or fixed interest rate at the borrower’s election. The floating rate would be LIBOR plus 600 basis points and the fixed rate would be determined at the beginning of the extension term at the rate of a similarly maturing U.S. Treasury security plus 600 basis points. During the extension, the borrower must make principal payments based on a 25-year amortization schedule.

5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

6. OTHER DISPOSITIONS

     On March 31, 2005, we completed the sale of approximately 1.58 acres of undeveloped investment land in Houston, Texas. The sale generated proceeds, net of selling costs, of approximately $5.8 million and a net gain of approximately $3.5 million included in the “Income from investment land sales” line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The proceeds from the sale were used primarily to pay down the credit facility.

7. JOINT VENTURES

Canyon Ranch

     On January 18, 2005, we contributed the Canyon Ranch Tucson, our 50% interest and our preferred interest in CR Las Vegas, LLC and our 30% interest in CR License, L.L.C., CR License II, L.L.C., CR Orlando LLC and CR Miami LLC, to two newly formed entities, CR Spa, LLC and CR Operating, LLC. In exchange, we received a 48% common equity interest in each new entity. The remaining 52% interest in these entities is held by the founders of Canyon Ranch, who contributed their interests in CR Las Vegas, LLC, CR License II, L.L.C., CR Orlando LLC and CR Miami LLC and the resort management contracts. In addition, we sold the Canyon Ranch Lenox to a subsidiary of CR Operating, LLC. The founders of Canyon Ranch sold their interest in CR License, L.L.C. to a subsidiary of CR Operating, LLC. As a result of these transactions, the new entities own the following assets: Canyon Ranch Tucson, Canyon Ranch Lenox, Canyon Ranch SpaClub at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, Canyon Ranch SpaClub on the Queen Mary 2 ocean liner, Canyon Ranch Living Community in Miami, Florida, Canyon Ranch SpaClub at The Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee, Florida, and the Canyon Ranch trade names and trademarks.

     In addition, the newly formed entities completed a private placement of Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Preferred Membership Units for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $110.0 million. In this private placement, Richard E. Rainwater, Chairman of our Board of Trust Managers, and certain of his family members purchased approximately $27.1 million of these units on terms identical to those extended to all other investors. The units are convertible into a 25% common equity interest in CR Spa, LLC and CR Operating, LLC and pay distributions at the rate of 8.5% per year in years one through seven, and 11% in years eight through ten. The units are redeemable after seven years. At the end of ten years, or upon earlier redemption by us, the holders of the units are entitled to receive a premium in an amount sufficient to result in a cumulative return of 11% per year. Also on January 18, 2005, the new entities completed a $95.0 million financing with Bank of America. The loan has an interest-only term until maturity in February 2015, bears interest at 5.94% and is secured by the Canyon Ranch Tucson and Canyon Ranch Lenox Destination Resort Properties. As a result of these transactions, we received proceeds of approximately $91.9 million, which was used to pay down or defease debt related to our previous investment in the Properties and to pay down our credit facility. No gain or loss was recorded in connection with the above transactions. Following these transactions, we account for our interests in CR Spa, LLC and CR Operating, LLC under the equity method of accounting.

Fulbright Tower

     On February 24, 2005, we contributed Fulbright Tower, subject to the Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Inc. Note, and an adjacent parking garage, to a limited partnership in which we have a 23.85% interest, a fund advised by JPMorgan Asset Management, or JPM, has a 60% interest and GE Asset Management, or GE, has a 16.15% interest. The property was valued at $106.0 million and the transaction generated net proceeds to us of approximately $33.4 million which were used to pay down our credit facility. The joint venture was accounted for as a partial sale of the Office Property, resulting in a net gain of approximately $0.5 million. None of the mortgage financing at the joint venture level is guaranteed by us.

(1)   In January 2005, we purchased a total of $115.7 million of U.S. Treasuries and government sponsored agency securities, or defeasance investments, to substitute as collateral for this loan. The cash flow from defeasance investments (principal and interest) matches the total debt service payment of this loan.

The covenant modifications include elimination of increase in debt service coverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. The definition changes include calculation of Capitalization Value and elimination of the effect of defeased debt and related assets from the definition of Consolidated Total Assets and Consolidated Total Liabilities.

The following table lists the unamortized premium associated with the assumption of above market interest rate debt which is included in the balance outstanding at March 31, 2005, the effective interest rate of the debt including the premium and the outstanding principal balance at maturity:

    The premium was recorded as an increase in the carrying amount of the underlying debt and is being amortized using the effective interest rate method as a reduction of interest expense through maturity of the underlying debt.
 
(4)   The facility is a $105.8 million construction facility secured by the Northstar project at Lake Tahoe.
 
(5)   This facility is a $24.0 million line of credit secured by certain DMDC land and asset improvements (revolving credit facility) and notes receivable (warehouse facility). The line restricts the revolving credit facility to a maximum outstanding amount of $18.0 million and is subject to certain borrowing base limitations and bears interest at prime (at March 31, 2005, the interest rate was 5.75%). The warehouse facility bears interest at prime plus 100 basis points (at March 31, 2005, the interest rate was 6.75%) and is limited to $6.0 million. The blended rate at March 31, 2005, for the revolving credit facility and the warehouse facility was 6.00%.
 
(6)   Our joint venture partner, which owns a 19.9% interest in the Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa, had funded $10.0 million of renovations at the Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa through a mezzanine loan. The Net Operating Income Hurdle Date, as defined in the loan agreement, is the date as of which the Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa has achieved an aggregate Adjusted Net Operating Income, as defined in the loan agreement, of $12 million for a period of 12 consecutive calendar months.
 
(7)   This facility is a $41.0 million construction facility secured by the Jefferson Station Apartments in Dedham, Massachusetts and fully guaranteed by our partner.
 
(8)   Includes $4.2 million of fixed rate debt ranging from 2.9% to 9.27% and $64.5 million of variable rate debt ranging from 5.50% to 6.75%.
 
(9)   At our option, these notes can be called beginning in April 2006 for 104.6%, in April 2007 for 102.3% and beginning April 2008 and thereafter for par.
 
(10)   In February 2005, we entered into a new $300 million credit facility which replaces the previous facility. All outstanding amounts under the previous facility were repaid in full using cash on hand and proceeds from an initial borrowing under the new facility. Under the new facility, we are subject to certain limitations including the ability to: incur additional debt or sell assets, make certain investments and acquisitions and grant liens. We are also subject to financial covenants, which include debt service ratios, leverage ratios and, in the case of the Operating Partnership, a minimum tangible net worth limitation and a fixed charge coverage ratio and had a maximum borrowing capacity of $287.2 million at March 31, 2005.
 
(11)   The outstanding balance excludes letters of credit issued under the credit facility of $11.8 million.

     We are generally obligated by our debt agreements to comply with financial covenants, affirmative covenants and negative covenants, or some combination of these types of covenants. Failure to comply with covenants generally will result in an event of default under that debt instrument. Any uncured or unwaived events of default under our loans can trigger an increase in interest rates, an acceleration of payment on the loan in default, and for our secured debt, foreclosure on the property securing the debt. In addition, a default by us or any of our subsidiaries with respect to any indebtedness in excess of $5.0 million generally will result in a default under the Credit Facility, 2007 Notes, 2009 Notes, the Bank of America Fund XII Term Loan and the Fleet Term Loan after the notice and cure periods for the other indebtedness have passed. As of March 31, 2005, no event of default had occurred, and we were in compliance with all covenants related to our outstanding debt. Our debt facilities generally prohibit loan pre-payment for an initial period, allow pre-payment with a penalty during a following specified period and allow pre-payment without penalty after the expiration of that period. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, there were no circumstances that required prepayment or increased collateral related to our existing debt.

     In addition to the subsidiaries listed in Note 1, “Organization and Basis of Presentation,” certain other of our subsidiaries were formed primarily for the purpose of obtaining secured and unsecured debt or joint venture financings. These entities, all of which are consolidated and are grouped based on the Properties to which they relate, are: Funding III Properties (CRE Management III Corp.); Funding V Properties (CRE Management V Corp.); Funding VI Properties (CRE Management VI Corp.); Funding VIII Properties (CRE Management VIII, LLC); 707 17th Street (Crescent 707 17th Street, LLC); Funding X Properties (CREF X Holdings Management, LLC, CREF X Holdings, L.P., CRE Management X, LLC); Funding XII Properties (CREF XII Parent GP, LLC, CREF XII Parent L.P., CREF XII Holding GP, LLC, CREF Holdings, L.P., CRE Management XII, LLC); Spectrum Center (Spectrum Mortgage Associates, L.P., CSC Holdings Management, LLC, Crescent SC Holdings, L.P., CSC Management, LLC), The BAC-Colonnade (CEI Colonnade Holdings, LLC), The Alhambra (Crescent Alhambra, LLC); Crescent BT I Investors, L.P.

Defeasance of LaSalle Note I

     In January 2005, we released the remaining properties in Funding I that served as collateral for the LaSalle Note I, by purchasing an additional $115.7 million of U.S. Treasury and government sponsored agency securities with an initial weighted average yield of 3.20%. We placed those securities into a collateral account for the sole purpose of funding payments of principal and interest on the remainder of LaSalle Note I. The cash flow from these securities is structured to match the cash flow (principal and interest payments) required under the LaSalle Note I. This transaction was accounted for as an in-substance defeasance, therefore, the debt and the securities purchased remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

10. INTEREST RATE SWAPS AND CAPS

     We use derivative financial instruments to convert a portion of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt and to manage the fixed to variable rate debt ratio. As of March 31, 2005, we had interest rate swaps and interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges, which are accounted for in conformity with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” and SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

     The following table shows information regarding the fair value of our interest rate swaps and caps designated as cash flow hedge agreements, which is included in the “Other assets, net” line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and additional interest expense and unrealized gains (losses) recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income, or OCI, for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

(1)   Cash flow hedge is at CRDI, a consolidated subsidiary.

     In addition, three of our unconsolidated companies have interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges of which our portion of change in unrealized gains reflected in OCI was not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

     We have designated our cash flow hedge agreements as cash flow hedges of LIBOR-based monthly interest payments on a designated pool of variable rate LIBOR indexed debt. The interest rate swaps have been and are expected to remain highly effective. Changes in the fair value of these highly effective hedging instruments are recorded in OCI. The effective portion that has been deferred in OCI will be recognized in earnings as interest expense when the hedged items impact earnings. If an interest rate swap falls outside 80%-125% effectiveness for a quarter, all changes in the fair value of the hedge for the quarter will be recognized in earnings during the current period. If it is determined based on prospective testing that it is no longer likely a hedge will be highly effective on a prospective basis, the hedge will no longer be designated as a cash flow hedge in conformity with SFAS No. 133, as amended. Hedge ineffectiveness of $0.1 million on the designated hedges due to notional/principal mismatches between the hedges and the hedged debt was recognized in interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2005.

     In July 2004, Fresh Choice, Inc. filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in order to facilitate a reorganization and restructuring. Based on our evaluation of our preferred interest in Fresh Choice at March 31, 2005, we have recorded a $1.5 million valuation reserve, of which $0.5 million was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2005, bringing our net investment balance to $4.0 million.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Guarantee Commitments

     The FASB issued Interpretation 45, “Guarantors’ Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (FIN 45), requiring a guarantor to disclose its guarantees. Our guarantees in place as of March 31, 2005 are listed in the table below. For the guarantees on indebtedness, no triggering events or conditions are anticipated to occur that would require payment under the guarantees and management believes the assets associated with the loans that are guaranteed are sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of future payments and therefore, would not require us to provide additional collateral to support the guarantees. We have not recorded a liability associated with these guarantees as they were entered into prior to the adoption of FIN 45.

(2) See Note 8, “Investments in Unconsolidated Companies,” for a description of the terms of this debt.
 
(3) We and our joint venture partner each obtained separate letters of credit to guarantee the repayment of up to $4.3 million each of the Main Street Partners, L.P. loan.

Other Commitments

     In connection with the dissolution of the Vornado Crescent Portland Partnership, Vornado Realty L.P., or Vornado, agreed to terminate the preferential allocation payable to it under the partnership agreement. In consideration of this, we agreed to pay Vornado an annual management fee of $4.5 million, payable only out of dividends we receive from AmeriCold and proceeds from sales of the common shares of AmeriCold that we own. Unpaid annual management fees will accrue without interest. The amount of the annual management fee will be reduced in proportion to any sales by us of our interest in AmeriCold. We also agreed to pay Vornado, from the proceeds of any sales of the common shares of AmeriCold that we own, a termination fee equal to the product of $23.8 million and the percentage reduction in our ownership of AmeriCold, as of November 18, 2004, represented by the sale. Our obligation to pay the annual management fee and the termination fee will end on October 30, 2027, or, if earlier, the date on which we sell all of the common shares of AmeriCold that we own.

     In connection with the Canyon Ranch transaction, we have agreed to indemnify the founders regarding the tax treatment of the transaction, not to exceed $2.5 million, and certain other matters. We believe there is a remote likelihood that payment will ever be made related to these indemnities.

13. MINORITY INTERESTS

     Minority interests in the Operating Partnership represents the proportionate share of the equity in the Operating Partnership of limited partners other than Crescent. The ownership share of limited partners other than Crescent is evidenced by Operating Partnership units. The Operating Partnership pays a regular quarterly distribution to the holders of Operating Partnership units.

     Each Operating Partnership unit generally may be exchanged for either two common shares of Crescent or, at the election of Crescent, cash equal to the fair market value of two common shares at the time of the exchange. When a unitholder exchanges a unit, Crescent’s percentage interest in the Operating Partnership increases. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, there were 107,500 units exchanged for 215,000 common shares of Crescent.

     Minority interests in real estate partnerships represents joint venture or preferred equity partners’ proportionate share of the equity in certain real estate partnerships. We hold a controlling interest in the real estate partnerships and consolidate the real estate partnerships into our financial statements. Income in the real estate partnerships is allocated to minority interests based on weighted average percentage ownership during the year.

15. INCOME TAXES

     Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the taxable consolidated entities and the income tax basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the taxable consolidated entities were comprised of our taxable REIT subsidiaries.

     We intend to maintain our qualification as a REIT under Section 856 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income taxes as long as we satisfy certain technical requirements of the Code, including the requirement to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income to our shareholders. Accordingly, we do not believe that we will be liable for current income taxes on our REIT taxable income at the federal level or in most of the states in which we operate. We consolidate certain taxable REIT subsidiaries, which are subject to federal and state income tax. For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, our federal income tax benefit from continuing operations was $1.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Our $1.0 million income tax benefit at March 31, 2005, consists primarily of $3.0 million for the Residential Development Segment and $0.7 million for the Resort/Hotel Segment, partially offset by $0.7 million tax expense for the Office Segment and $2.0 million expense for other taxable REIT subsidiaries.

     Our total net tax asset of approximately $15.1 million at March 31, 2005, includes $13.4 million of net deferred tax assets. SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The change in the valuation allowance was not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Loans to Employees

     As of March 31, 2005, we had approximately $38.0 million of loan balances outstanding, inclusive of current interest accrued of approximately $0.2 million, to certain of our employees and trust managers on a recourse basis pursuant to our stock incentive plans and unit incentive plans under an agreement approved by our Board of Trust Managers and the Executive Compensation Committee. The proceeds of these loans were used by the employees and the trust managers to acquire our common shares and units pursuant to the exercise of vested stock and unit options. Pursuant to the loan agreements, these loans bear interest at a rate of 2.52% per year, payable quarterly, mature on July 28, 2012, and may be repaid in full or in part at any time without premium or penalty. Our Chief Executive Officer, John C. Goff had a loan representing $26.4 million of the $38.0 million total outstanding loans at March 31, 2005. No conditions exist at March 31, 2005 which would cause any of the loans to be in default. Effective July 29, 2002, we ceased offering to our employees and trust managers the option to obtain loans pursuant to our stock and unit incentive plans.

Other

     We have a policy which allows employees to purchase our residential properties marketed and sold by our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business. This policy requires the individual to purchase the property for personal use or investment and requires the property to be held for at least two years. In addition this policy requires, among other things, that the prices paid by affiliates must be equivalent to the prices paid by unaffiliated third parties for similar properties in the same development and that the other terms and conditions of the transaction must be at least as beneficial to us as the terms and conditions with respect to the other properties in the same development. In the first quarter of 2005, two executive officers entered into binding contracts to purchase three condominium units at two of our residential development projects.

     On February 14, 2002, we entered into an agreement with Crescent Operating, Inc., or COPI, pursuant to which we and COPI agreed to jointly seek approval by the bankruptcy court of a pre-packaged bankruptcy plan for COPI. On January 19, 2005, the bankruptcy plan became effective upon COPI’s providing notification to the bankruptcy court that all conditions to effectiveness had been satisfied. Following the effectiveness of the bankruptcy plan, we issued 184,075 common shares to the stockholders of COPI in satisfaction of our final obligation under the agreement with COPI. The common shares were valued at approximately $3.0 million in accordance with the terms of our agreement with COPI and the provisions of the bankruptcy plan and the issuance of the shares was recorded as a reduction to the liability recorded in 2001. As stockholders of COPI, certain of our trust managers and executive officers, as a group, received an aggregate of approximately 25,000 common shares.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Asset Acquisitions

     On April 8, 2005, we acquired One Buckhead Plaza, a 20-story, 461,669 square-foot Class A office property located in the Buckhead submarket in Atlanta. We acquired the office property for approximately $130.5 million, funded by an $85.0 million loan from Morgan Stanley and a draw on our credit facility. This property is wholly-owned and will be included in our Office Segment.

Debt Financing

     On May 2, 2005, we entered into a loan agreement with Deutsche Bank for a $110 million senior loan, a $40 million first mezzanine loan and a $15 million second mezzanine loan for total proceeds of $165.0 million, secured by Funding One Properties (Carter Burgess Plaza, 125 E. John Carpenter Freeway, The Aberdeen, Regency Plaza One and The Citadel). The loans have an interest-only term until maturity in June 2007, with three one-year extension options, and bear interest at a weighted average rate of LIBOR plus 147 basis points. The proceeds were used primarily to pay down the credit facility.

     In connection with this loan, we entered into LIBOR interest rate caps struck at 6.00% on a notional amount corresponding to each loan of $165.0 million through June 2008. Simultaneously, we sold a LIBOR interest rate cap with the same terms. Since these instruments do not reduce our net interest rate exposure, they do not qualify as hedges and changes to their respective fair values are charged to earnings as the charges occur. As the significant terms of these arrangements are the same, the effects of a revaluation of these instruments are expected to offset each other.

Forward-Looking Statements

     You should read this section in conjunction with the consolidated interim financial statements and the accompanying notes in Item 1, “Financial Statements,” of this document and the more detailed information contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited interim financial statements are included. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this section have the meanings given to them in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1, “Financial Statements.”

     This Form 10-Q 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. These statements are generally characterized by terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate” and “may.”

     Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, our actual results could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

     The following factors might cause such a difference:

  §   Our ability, at our office properties, to timely lease unoccupied square footage and timely re-lease occupied square footage upon expiration on favorable terms, which continue to be adversely affected by existing real estate conditions (including the vacancy levels in particular markets, decreased rental rates and competition from other properties) and may also be adversely affected by general economic downturns;
 
  §   The continuation of relatively high vacancy rates, reduced rental rates and relatively high tenant concessions in our office portfolio as a result of conditions within our principal markets;
 
  §   Our ability to reinvest available funds at anticipated returns and consummate anticipated office acquisitions on favorable terms and within anticipated time frames;
 
  §   Adverse changes in the financial condition of existing tenants, in particular El Paso Energy and its affiliates which provide 5.7% of our annualized office revenues;
 
  §   Deterioration in our resort/business-class hotel markets or in the economy generally;
 
  §   Deterioration in the market or in the economy generally and increases in construction costs associated with development of residential land or luxury residences, including single-family homes, townhomes and condominiums;
 
  §   Financing risks, such as our ability to generate revenue sufficient to service and repay existing or additional debt, increases in debt service associated with increased debt and with variable-rate debt, our ability to meet financial and other covenants and our ability to consummate financings and refinancings on favorable terms and within any applicable time frames;
 
  §   Our ability to dispose of investment land, and other non-core assets, on favorable terms and within anticipated time frames;
 
  §   The concentration of a significant percentage of our assets in Texas;
 
  §   The existence of complex regulations relating to our status as a REIT, the effect of future changes in REIT requirements as a result of new legislation and the adverse consequences of the failure to qualify as a REIT; and
 
  §   Other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC.

     Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. We are not obligated to update these forward-looking statements to reflect any future events or circumstances.

Overview

     We are a REIT with assets and operations divided into four investment segments: Office, Resort/Hotel, Residential Development and Temperature-Controlled Logistics. Our primary business is our Office Segment, which consisted of 78 Office Properties and represented 61% of total assets as of March 31, 2005.

     Capital flows in the real estate industry have changed significantly over the last few years. Institutions as well as other investors, principally U.S. pension funds, have increased their allocation to real estate and it appears that this will continue for the foreseeable future. This inflow of capital has created a uniquely attractive environment for the sale of assets as well as joint ventures. Likewise, the acquisition environment is highly competitive, making it more difficult to provide attractive returns on equity that are comparable to those achieved in acquisitions made during the 1990’s.

     We have adapted our strategy to align ourselves with institutional partners, with the goal of transitioning towards being a real estate investment management company. Rather than competing with the substantial inflow of capital into the acquisition market, we are focusing on acquiring assets jointly with these institutional investors, moving existing assets into joint-venture arrangements with these investors, and capitalizing on our award-winning platform in office management and our leasing expertise to continue to provide these services, for a fee, for the properties in the ventures. Where possible, we will strive to negotiate performance based incentives that allow for additional equity to be earned if return targets are exceeded.

     Consistent with this strategy, we continually evaluate our existing portfolio for potential joint venture opportunities. Recently, we completed significant joint venture transactions involving six of our landmark Properties valued at approximately $1.3 billion. As with previous ventures, we are now a minority partner but continue to provide leasing and management services to the ventures. In addition, in January 2005, we completed the recapitalization of our Canyon Ranch Resort/Hotel Properties.

     Further, we sold $213 million of non-core assets in 2004 and the first quarter 2005, and expect to sell an additional $90 million in the near term, including land holdings that are currently not contributing to our earnings. Included in the first quarter 2005 sales are the Albuquerque Plaza and undeveloped land in Houston, Texas. As the expected sales are completed, we will redeploy proceeds to acquire real estate assets and pay down certain consolidated debt and other obligations.

Office Segment

     The following table shows the performance factors on stabilized properties, excluding properties held for sale, used by management to assess the operating performance of the Office Segment:

                 
    2005     2004  
Economic Occupancy (1) (at March 31 and December 31)
    88.0 %     88.5 %
Leased Occupancy (2) (at March 31 and December 31)
    89.5 %     89.8 %
In-Place Weighted Average Full-Service Rental Rate (at March 31 and December 31)
  $ 22.73     $ 22.63  
Tenant Improvement and Leasing Costs per Sq. Ft. per year (three months ended March 31)
  $ 3.61     $ 2.93  
Average Lease Term (three months ended March 31)
  5.5 years   6.8 years
Same-Store NOI (3) (Decline) (three months ended March 31)
    (0.3 )%     (3.6 )%
Same-Store Average Occupancy (three months ended March 31)
    87.6 %     85.8 %


(1)     Economic occupancy reflects the occupancy of all tenants paying rent.
 
(2)     Leased occupancy reflects the amount of contractually obligated space, whether or not commencement has occurred.
 
(3)    Same-store NOI (net operating income) represents office property net income excluding depreciation, amortization, interest expense and non-recurring items such as lease termination fees for Office Properties owned for the entirety of the comparable periods.

     In 2005, we expect continued improvement in the economy. This allows us to remain cautiously optimistic about occupancy gains in 2005. We expect that year-end 2005 economic occupancy for our portfolio will increase to approximately 89%-90%.

Resort/Hotel Segment

     The following table shows the performance factors used by management to assess the operating performance of our luxury and destination fitness resorts.

                                                 
      For the three months ended March 31,  
                                    Revenue  
    Average     Average     Per  
    Occupancy     Daily     Available  
    Rate     Rate     Room/Guest Night  
    2005     2004     2005     2004     2005     2004  
Luxury and Destination Fitness Resorts
    73 %     69 %   $ 579     $ 553     $ 410     $ 371  

     We anticipate an 8% to 10% increase in revenue per available room in 2005 at the luxury and destination fitness resorts and a 3 to 5 percentage point increase in occupancy, driven by the continued recovery of the economy and travel industry and improvement from Sonoma Mission Inn and Ventana Inn, which had rooms under renovation in 2004.

Residential Development Segment

     The following tables show the performance factors used by management to assess the operating performance of the Residential Development Segment. Information is provided for the Desert Mountain Residential Development Property and the CRDI Residential Development Properties, which represent our significant investments in this Segment as of March 31, 2005.

Desert Mountain

                 
    For the three months ended March 31,  
(dollars in thousands)   2005     2004  
Residential Lot Sales
    9       16  
Average Sales Price per Lot (1)
  $ 1,100     $ 948  


(1)    Includes equity golf membership

     Desert Mountain is in the latter stages of development and management anticipates minor additions to its decreasing available inventory. While a higher average lot sales price is projected in 2005, total sales are expected to be lower as a result of reduced inventory availability.

CRDI

                 
    For the three months ended March 31,  
(dollars in thousands)   2005     2004  
Residential Lot Sales
    123       27  
Residential Unit Sales:
               
Townhome Sales
          2  
Condominium Sales
    4       5  
Residential Equivalent Timeshare Units
    2.77       0.55  
Average Sales Price per Residential Lot
  $ 53     $ 212  
Average Sales Price per Residential Unit
  $ 2,079     $ 1,036  

     CRDI, which invests primarily in mountain resort residential real estate in Colorado and California and residential real estate in downtown Denver, Colorado, is highly dependent upon the national economy and customer demand. In 2005, management expects that unit sales will increase over 2004, but the average sales price will decrease at CRDI, with approximately 67% pre-sold as of April 18, 2005. In addition, lot sales are expected to increase in 2005 over 2004.

Recent Developments

Joint Ventures

Canyon Ranch

     On January 18, 2005, we contributed the Canyon Ranch Tucson, our 50% interest and our preferred interest in CR Las Vegas, LLC and our 30% interest in CR License, L.L.C., CR License II, L.L.C., CR Orlando LLC and CR Miami LLC, to two newly formed entities, CR Spa, LLC and CR Operating, LLC. In exchange, we received a 48% common equity interest in each new entity. The remaining 52% interest in these entities is held by the founders of Canyon Ranch, who contributed their interests in CR Las Vegas, LLC, CR License II, L.L.C., CR Orlando LLC and CR Miami LLC and the resort management contracts. In addition, we sold the Canyon Ranch Lenox to a subsidiary of CR Operating, LLC. The founders of Canyon Ranch sold their interest in CR License, L.L.C. to a subsidiary of CR Operating, LLC. As a result of these transactions, the new entities own the following assets: Canyon Ranch Tucson, Canyon Ranch Lenox, Canyon Ranch SpaClub at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, Canyon Ranch SpaClub on the Queen Mary 2 ocean liner, Canyon Ranch Living Community in Miami, Florida, Canyon Ranch SpaClub at The Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee, Florida, and the Canyon Ranch trade names and trademarks.

     In addition, the newly formed entities completed a private placement of Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Preferred Membership Units for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $110.0 million. In this private placement, Richard E. Rainwater, Chairman of our Board of Trust Managers, and certain of his family members purchased approximately $27.1 million of these units on terms identical to those extended to all other investors. The units are convertible into a 25% common equity interest in CR Spa, LLC and CR Operating, LLC and pay distributions at the rate of 8.5% per year in years one through seven, and 11% in years eight through ten. The units are redeemable after seven years. At the end of ten years, or upon earlier redemption by us, the holders of the units are entitled to receive a premium in an amount sufficient to result in a cumulative return of 11% per year. Also on January 18, 2005, the new entities completed a $95.0 million financing with Bank of America. The loan has an interest-only term until maturity in February 2015, bears interest at 5.94% and is secured by the Canyon Ranch Tucson and Canyon Ranch Lenox Destination Resort Properties. As a result of these transactions, we received proceeds of approximately $91.9 million, which was used to pay down or defease debt related to our previous investment in the Properties and to pay down our credit facility. No gain or loss was recorded in connection with the above transactions. Following these transactions, we account for our interests in CR Spa, LLC and CR Operating, LLC under the equity method of accounting.

Fulbright Tower

     On February 24, 2005, we contributed Fulbright Tower, subject to the Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Inc. Note, and an adjacent parking garage, to a limited partnership in which we have a 23.85% interest, a fund advised by JPM has a 60% interest and GE has a 16.15% interest. The property was valued at $106.0 million and the transaction generated net proceeds to us of approximately $33.4 million which were used to pay down our credit facility. The joint venture was accounted for as a partial sale of the Office Property, resulting in a net gain of approximately $0.5 million.

Acquisitions of Office Properties

     On February 7, 2005, we acquired The Exchange Building, a 295,525 square foot Class A office property located in Seattle, Washington. We acquired the office property for approximately $52.5 million, funded by a draw on our credit facility. This property is wholly-owned and is included in our Office Segment.

     On April 8, 2005, we acquired One Buckhead Plaza, a 20-story, 461,669 square-foot Class A office property located in the Buckhead submarket in Atlanta. We acquired the office property for approximately $130.5 million, funded by an $85.0 million loan from Morgan Stanley and a draw on our credit facility. This property is wholly-owned and will be included in our Office Segment.

Sale of Office Property

     On February 7, 2005, we completed the sale of the Albuquerque Plaza Office Property in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The sale generated proceeds, net of selling costs, of approximately $34.7 million and a gain of approximately $1.5 million, net of minority interests. The proceeds from the sale were used primarily to pay down the Bank of America Fund XII Term Loan. This property was wholly-owned.

Undeveloped Land

     On March 31, 2005, we completed the sale of approximately 1.58 acres of undeveloped investment land in Houston, Texas. The sale generated proceeds, net of selling costs of approximately $5.8 million and a net gain of approximately $3.5 million included in the “Income from investment land sales” line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The proceeds from the sale were used primarily to pay down the credit facility.

Other Real Estate Investments

     On February 7, 2005, we purchased a $34.5 million mezzanine loan in which we immediately sold a 50% participating interest for $17.25 million. The loan is secured by ownership interests in an entity that owns an office property in New York. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 775 basis points with an interest-only term until maturity in March 2007, subject to the right of the borrower to extend the loan pursuant to three one-year extension options.

     On March 31, 2005, we purchased a $32.9 million mezzanine loan for $33.2 million secured by the ownership interests in a resort in Florida. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 12% with an interest-only term until maturity in April 2008, subject to the right of the borrower to extend the loan pursuant to one four-year extension bearing either a floating or fixed interest rate at the borrower’s election. The floating rate would be LIBOR plus 600 basis points and the fixed rate would be determined at the beginning of the extension term at the rate of a similarly maturing U.S. Treasury security plus 600 basis points. During the extension, the borrower must make principal payments based on a 25-year amortization schedule.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2005 to the three months ended March 31, 2004

Property Revenues

     Total property revenues decreased $40.2 million, or 18.3%, to $179.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to $219.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The primary components of the decrease in total property revenues are discussed below.

  •   Office Property revenues decreased $30.2 million, or 24.7%, to $91.9 million, primarily due to:

  §   a decrease of $42.4 million due to the joint venture of The Crescent, Trammell Crow Center, Fountain Place, Houston Center and Post Oak Central in November 2004, partially offset by Fulbright Tower, which was acquired in December 2004 and joint ventured in February 2005; and
 
  §   a decrease of $1.4 million in net lease termination fees; partially offset by
 
  §   an increase of $9.7 million from the acquisition of Hughes Center in December 2003 through May 2004, Dupont Centre in March 2004, The Alhambra in August 2004, One Live Oak and Peakview Tower in December 2004 and the Exchange Building in February 2005;
 
  §   an increase of $3.8 million resulting from third party management and leasing services and related direct expense reimbursements; and
 
  §   an increase of $0.1 million from the 46 consolidated Office Properties (excluding 2004 and 2005 acquisitions, dispositions and properties held for sale) that we owned or had an interest in, primarily due to a 2.6 percentage point increase in average occupancy (from 82.6% to 85.2%), offset by a decrease in full service weighted average rental rates.

  •   Resort/Hotel Property revenues decreased $16.8 million, or 33.6%, to $33.2 million, primarily due to:

  §   a decrease of $19.8 million due to the contribution, in January 2005, of the Canyon Ranch Properties to a newly formed entity, CR Operating, LLC, in which we have a 48% member interest that is accounted for as an unconsolidated investment; partially offset by
 
  §   an increase of $1.4 million in room revenue at the Resort Properties related to a 14% increase in revenue per available room (from $218 to $248) resulting from:

  -   a 5% increase in average daily rate (from $373 to $390) related to increases across all of the Resort Properties; and
 
  -   a 6 percentage point increase in occupancy (from 58% to 64%) primarily related to the renovation of 97 historic inn rooms at the Sonoma Mission Inn which were out of service during the first two quarters of 2004;

  §   an increase of $1.0 million in food and beverage, spa and other revenue primarily at the Sonoma Mission Inn due to occupancy increases related to the 2004 room renovation; and
 
  §   an increase of $0.4 million in room revenue at the Business Class Hotel Properties primarily related to a 17% increase in revenue per available room (from $78 to $91) resulting from a 13 percentage point increase in occupancy (from 64% to 77%), offset by a decrease in average daily rate (from $122 to $119).

  •   Residential Development Property revenues increased $6.8 million, or 14.3%, to $54.5 million, primarily due to an increase of $6.6 million in CRDI revenues related to product mix and lots and units available for sale in 2005 versus 2004, primarily at the Horizon Pass project in Bachelor Gulch, Colorado which had sales in the three months ended March 31, 2005, but none in the same period in 2004; partially offset by the Cresta project in Arrowhead, Colorado, which had sales in the three months ended March 31, 2004, but none in the same period in 2005.

Property Expenses

     Total property expenses decreased $17.1 million, or 12.3%, to $122.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to $139.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The primary components of the variances in property expenses are discussed below.

  •   Office Property expenses decreased $11.6 million or 19.7%, to $47.2 million, primarily due to:

  §   a decrease of $18.9 million due to the joint venture of The Crescent, Trammell Crow Center, Fountain Place, Houston Center and Post Oak Central in November 2004, partially offset by Fulbright Tower, which was acquired in December 2004 and joint ventured in February 2005; partially offset by
 
  §   an increase of $3.9 million related to the cost of providing third party management services to joint ventures, which are recouped by increased third party fee income and direct expense reimbursements;

  §   an increase of $3.4 million from the acquisition of Hughes Center in December 2003 through May 2004, Dupont Centre in March 2004, The Alhambra in August 2004, One Live Oak and Peakview Tower in December 2004 and the Exchange Building in February 2005; and
 
  §   an increase of $0.1 million from the 46 consolidated Office Properties (excluding 2004 and 2005 acquisitions, dispositions and properties held for sale) that we owned or had an interest in, primarily due to;

  -   $0.8 million increase in administrative support; and
 
  -   $0.6 million increase in administrative expenses; partially offset by
 
  -   $0.6 million decrease in property taxes;
 
  -   $0.4 million decrease in leasing costs; and
 
  -   $0.2 million decrease in utilities.

  •   Resort/Hotel Property expenses decreased $13.8 million, or 34.5%, to $26.2 million, primarily due to:

  §   a decrease of $16.2 million due to the contribution, in January 2005, of the Canyon Ranch Properties to a newly formed entity, CR Operating, LLC, in which Crescent has a 48% member interest that is accounted for as an unconsolidated investment; partially offset by
 
  §   an increase of $1.5 million in operating and general and administrative expenses at the Resort Properties primarily due to a 13 percentage point increase in occupancy at the Sonoma Mission Inn (from 36% to 49%) related to the renovation of 97 historic inn rooms which were out of service during the first two quarters of 2004;
 
  §   an increase of $0.4 million in audit related fees.
 
  §   Residential Development Property expenses increased $8.3 million, or 20.5%, to $48.8 million, primarily due to an increase of $7.5 million in CRDI cost of sales related to product mix in lots and units available for sale in 2005 versus 2004, primarily at the Horizon Pass project in Bachelor Gulch, Colorado, which had sales in the three months ended March 31, 2005, but none in the same period in 2004; partially offset by the Cresta project in Arrowhead, Colorado, which had sales in the three months ended March 31, 2004, but none in the same period in 2005.

  §   an increase of $6.2 million in Other equity in net income primarily attributable to $5.9 million of income from G2;
 
  §   an increase of $2.0 million in Office equity in net income primarily attributable to the joint venture of The Crescent, Fountain Place, Trammell Crow Center, Houston Center and Post Oak Central Office Properties; and
 
  §   an increase of $1.6 million in Resort/Hotel equity in net income primarily attributable to equity in earnings from CR Operating, LLC, to which we contributed the Canyon Ranch Tucson and Canyon Ranch Lenox Properties in January 2005.

  •   Income from investment land sales increased $3.5 million due to the gain on the sale of 1.58 acres of undeveloped investment land in Houston, Texas in March 2005.
 
  •   Interest and other income increased $2.6 million, or 96.3%, to $5.3 million primarily due to:

  §   $1.0 million interest from mezzanine loans secured by ownership interests in two office properties;
 
  §   $0.6 million interest from U.S. Treasury and government sponsored agency securities purchased in November 2004 and January 2005 related to debt defeasance;
 
  §   $0.5 million increase from the reduction of a liability in 2005 associated with the sale of The Woodlands in December 2003; and
 
  §   $0.4 million interest and dividends received on other marketable securities.

  •   Gain on joint venture of property, net increased $0.5 million due to the gain from the joint venture of Fulbright Tower Office Property in February 2005.

Other Expenses

     Other expenses decreased $14.6 million, or 15.1%, to $82.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $96.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The primary components of the decrease in other expenses are discussed below.

  •   Interest expense decreased $11.7 million, or 26.0%, to $33.3 million due to a decrease of $547 million in the weighted average debt balance (from $2,724 to $2,177), partially offset by a .01 percentage point increase in the hedged weighted average interest rate (from 7.09% to 7.10%).
 
  •   Depreciation and amortization costs decreased $4.6 million, or 11.7%, to $34.7 million due to:

  §   $4.5 million decrease in Office Property depreciation expense, due to:

  -   $8.4 million decrease attributable to the joint venture of The Crescent, Fountain Place, Trammell Crow Center, Houston Center and Post Oak Central in November 2004; and
 
  -   $0.4 million decrease primarily attributable to accelerated depreciation for lease terminations in 2004; partially offset by
 
  -   $4.3 million increase from the acquisitions of Hughes Center in December 2003 through May 2004, Dupont Centre in March 2004, The Alhambra in August 2004, One Live Oak, Fulbright Tower and Peakview Tower in December 2004 and the Exchange Building in February 2005; and

  §   $1.2 million decrease in Resort/Hotel Property depreciation expense primarily related to the joint venture of the Canyon Ranch Properties; partially offset by
 
  §   $1.3 million increase in Residential Development Property depreciation expense primarily related to club amenities and golf course improvements at CRDI and DMDC.

  •   Amortization of deferred financing costs decreased $1.8 million, or 48.6%, to $1.9 million due to the refinancing of the Credit Facility in February 2005 and the reduction of the Fleet Fund I and II Term Loans in January 2004.
 
  •   Extinguishment of debt expense decreased $0.5 million, or 26.3%, to $1.4 million due to:

  §   $1.9 million extinguishment of debt expense in the first quarter 2004 related to the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with reduction of the Fleet Fund I and II Term Loans; partially offset by
 
  §   $1.4 million extinguishment of debt expense in the first quarter 2005 related to the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the reduction of the Bank of America Fund XII Term Loan and the payoff of the old credit facility in February 2005.

  •   Corporate general and administrative costs increased $3.4 million, or 49.3%, to $10.3 million due to an increase in compensation expense associated with restricted Units granted in December 2004 under our 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan, increased external audit costs and increased Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs.

Discontinued Operations

  Income from discontinued operations on assets sold and held for sale increased $3.2 million to $3.0 million due to:
 
  •   an increase of $2.0 million, net of minority interest, due to an aggregate $2.0 million impairment on three office properties in 2004; and
 
  •   an increase of $1.5 million, net of minority interest, due to the gain on the sale of Albuquerque Plaza in February 2005; partially offset by
 
  •   a decrease of $0.3 million, net of minority interest, due to the reduction of net income associated with properties held for sale in 2005 compared to 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

     Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations, our credit facility, net cash received from our Residential Development Segment and proceeds from asset sales and joint ventures. Our short-term liquidity requirements through March 31, 2006, consist primarily of our normal operating expenses, principal and interest payments on our debt, amounts due at maturity of our debt obligations, distributions to our shareholders and capital expenditures. Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of debt obligations maturing after March 31, 2006, distributions to our shareholders and capital expenditures.

Short-Term Liquidity

     We believe that cash flow from operations will be sufficient to cover our normal operating expenses, interest payments on our debt, distributions on our preferred shares, non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures and revenue enhancing capital expenditures (including property improvements, tenant improvements and leasing commissions) in 2005 and 2006. The cash flow from our Residential Development segment is cyclical in nature and primarily realized in the last quarter of each year. We expect to meet temporary shortfalls in operating cash flow caused by this cyclicality through working capital draws under our credit facility. However, our cash flow from operations is not expected to fully cover the distributions on our common shares in 2005 and 2006. We intend to use cash generated from 1) cash received in excess of required reinvestment in our Residential Development Segment, estimated to be in excess of $100 million in both 2005 and 2006; 2) business initiatives including investment land sales; 3) other income and 4) borrowings to cover this shortfall.

     In addition, through March 31, 2006, we expect to make capital expenditures of approximately $85.8 million, primarily relating to new developments of investment property that are not in the ordinary course of operations of our business. We anticipate funding these short-term liquidity requirements primarily through construction loans and borrowings under our credit facility or additional debt facilities. As of March 31, 2005, we also had maturing debt obligations of $430.2 million through March 31, 2006, made up primarily of the LaSalle Note II which is funded by defeasance securities and the Bank of America Fund XII Term Loan which we intend to refinance or repay through asset sales. The remaining maturities consist primarily of normal principal amortization and will be met with cash flow from operations. Of the $430.2 million of debt maturing through March 31, 2006, $48.8 million relates to the Residential Development Segment and will be retired with the sales of the corresponding land or units or will be refinanced.

Long-Term Liquidity

     Our long-term liquidity requirements as of March 31, 2005, consist primarily of $1.8 billion of debt maturing after March 31, 2006. We also have $203.2 million of expected long-term capital expenditures relating to capital investments that are not in the ordinary course of operations of our business. We anticipate meeting these obligations primarily through refinancing maturing debt with long-term secured and unsecured debt and through other debt and equity financing alternatives as well as cash proceeds from asset sales and joint ventures and construction loans.

Cash Flows

     Our cash flow from operations is primarily attributable to the operations of our Office, Resort/Hotel and Residential Development Properties. The level of our cash flow depends on multiple factors, including rental rates and occupancy rates at our Office Properties, room rates and occupancy rates at our Resort/Hotel Properties and sales of lots and units at our Residential Development Properties. Our net cash provided by operating activities is also affected by the level of our operating and other expenses.

     For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Office Segment, Resort/Hotel Segment and Residential Development Segment accounted for 51%, 19% and 30%, respectively, of our total revenues. Our top five tenants accounted for approximately 12.5% of our total Office Segment rental revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The loss of one or more of our major tenants would have a temporary adverse effect on cash flow from operations until we were able to re-lease the space previously leased to these tenants. Based on rental revenues from office leases in effect as of March 31, 2005, no single tenant accounted for more than 6% of our total Office Segment rental revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

42


Table of Contents

     During the three months ended March 31, 2005, our cash flow from operations was insufficient to meet our short-term liquidity requirements, excluding capital expenditures not in the ordinary course of operations of our business and debt maturities. We funded this shortfall primarily with a combination of borrowings under our credit facility, cash received less required investment from our Residential Development Segment, and proceeds from asset sales and joint ventures.

Debt and equity financing alternatives

     Debt and equity financing alternatives currently available to us to satisfy our liquidity requirements include:

  •   Additional proceeds from our new credit facility under which we had up to $73.4 million of borrowing capacity available as of March 31, 2005, and which may be increased by $100.0 million subject to certain conditions;
 
  •   Additional proceeds from the refinancing of existing secured and unsecured debt;
 
  •   Additional debt secured by existing underleveraged properties;
 
  •   Issuance of additional unsecured debt; and
 
  •   Equity offerings including preferred and/or convertible securities.

     The following factors could limit our ability to utilize these financing alternatives:

  •   A reduction in the operating results of the Properties supporting our credit facility to a level that would reduce the availability of funds under the credit facility;
 
  •   A reduction in the operating results of the Properties could limit our ability to refinance existing secured and unsecured debt, or extend maturity dates or could result in an uncured or unwaived event of default;
 
  •   We may be unable to obtain debt or equity financing on favorable terms, or at all, as a result of our financial condition or market conditions at the time we seek additional financing;
 
  •   Restrictions under our debt instruments or outstanding equity may prohibit us from incurring debt or issuing equity on terms available under then-prevailing market conditions or at all;
 
  •   We may be unable to service additional or replacement debt due to increases in interest rates or a decline in our operating performance; and
 
  •   We may be unable to increase our credit facility by $100.0 million, as provided under the terms of the facility, due to adverse changes in market conditions.

(1)    For more information regarding the terms of our debt financing arrangements, including properties securing our secured debt and the method of calculation of the interest rate for our variable rate debt, see Note 9, “Notes Payable and Borrowings under the Credit Facility,” included in Item 1, “Financial Statements.”
 
(2)    In January 2005, we purchased a total of $115.7 million of defeasance investments to substitute as collateral for this loan. The cash flow from the defeasance investments (principal and interest) match the total debt service payment of this loan. In November 2004, we purchased $146.2 million of defeasance investments to legally defease $128.7 million of this loan.
 
(3)    Includes a portion of total premiums of $5.8 million reflecting market value of debt acquired with the purchase of Hughes Center portfolio.
 
(4)    This loan has a one one-year extension option.
 
(5)    This loan has two one-year extension options.
 
(6)    The Credit Facility has a maximum potential capacity of $300.0 million. Capacity is subject to income from the assets in the borrowing base. At March 31, 2005, the income from these assets limited borrowings under the facility to a maximum $287.2 million. The $202.0 million outstanding at March 31, 2005, excludes letters of credit issued under the facility of $11.8 million.
 
(7)    The overall weighted average interest rate does not include the effect of our cash flow hedge agreements. Including the effect of these agreements, the overall weighted average interest rate would have been 7.08%.

     We are generally obligated by our debt agreements to comply with financial covenants, affirmative covenants and negative covenants, or some combination of these types of covenants. The financial covenants to which we are subject include, among others, leverage ratios, debt service coverage ratios and limitations on total indebtedness. The affirmative covenants to which we are subject under our debt agreements include, among others, provisions requiring us to comply with all laws relating to operation of any Properties securing the debt, maintain those Properties in good repair and working order, maintain adequate

insurance and provide timely financial information. The negative covenants under our debt agreements generally restrict our ability to transfer or pledge assets or incur additional debt at a subsidiary level, limit our ability to engage in transactions with affiliates and place conditions on our or our subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions.

     Failure to comply with covenants generally will result in an event of default under that debt instrument. Any uncured or unwaived events of default under our loans can trigger an increase in interest rates, an acceleration of payment on the loan in default, and for our secured debt, foreclosure on the property securing the debt, and could cause the credit facility to become unavailable to us. In addition, an event of default by us or any of our subsidiaries with respect to any indebtedness in excess of $5.0 million generally will result in an event of default under the Credit Facility, 2007 Notes, 2009 Notes, Bank of America Fund XII Term Loan, and the Fleet Term Loan after the notice and cure periods for the other indebtedness have passed. As a result, any uncured or unwaived event of default could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or liquidity.

     Our secured debt facilities generally prohibit loan prepayment for an initial period, allow prepayment with a penalty during a following specified period and allow prepayment without penalty after the expiration of that period. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, there were no other circumstances that required prepayment penalties or increased collateral related to our existing debt.

Debt Financing

     On May 2, 2005, we entered into a loan agreement with Deutsche Bank for a $110 million senior loan, a $40 million first mezzanine loan and a $15 million second mezzanine loan for total proceeds of $165.0 million, secured by Funding One Properties (Carter Burgess Plaza, 125 E. John Carpenter Freeway, The Aberdeen, Regency Plaza One and The Citadel). The loans have an interest-only term until maturity in June 2007, with three one-year extension options, and bear interest at a weighted average rate of LIBOR plus 147 basis points. The proceeds were used primarily to pay down the credit facility.

Defeasance of LaSalle Note I

     In January 2005, we released the remaining properties in Funding I that served as collateral for the LaSalle Note I, by purchasing an additional $115.7 million of U.S. Treasury and government sponsored agency securities with an initial weighted average yield of 3.20%. We placed those securities into a collateral account for the sole purpose of funding payments of principal and interest on the remainder of LaSalle Note I. The cash flow from these securities is structured to match the cash flow (principal and interest payments) required under the LaSalle Note I. This transaction was accounted for as an in-substance defeasance, therefore, the debt and the securities purchased remain on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Unconsolidated Debt Arrangements

     As of March 31, 2005, the total debt of the unconsolidated joint ventures and equity investments in which we have ownership interests was $2.1 billion, of which our share was $634.3 million. We guaranteed $4.3 million of this debt as of March 31, 2005. Additional information relating to our unconsolidated debt financing arrangements is contained in Note 8, “Investments in Unconsolidated Companies,” of Item 1, “Financial Statements.”

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

     We use derivative financial instruments to convert a portion of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt and to manage the fixed to variable rate debt ratio. As of March 31, 2005, we had interest rate swaps and interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges. The following table shows information regarding the fair value of our interest rate swaps and caps designated as cash flow hedge agreements, which is included in the “Other assets, net” line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and additional interest expense and unrealized gains (losses) recorded in OCI for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

Significant Accounting Policies

Critical Accounting Policies

     A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. There have been no significant changes to those policies during the first quarter of 2005.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

     SFAS No. 123R. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment.” The new FASB rule requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. We will be required to apply SFAS No. 123R beginning January 1, 2006. The scope of SFAS No. 123R includes a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board, or APB, Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No. 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in Opinion 25, as long as the footnotes to the financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used. Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the fair value expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 on a prospective basis. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R.

Funds from Operations

FFO, as used in this document, means:

  •   Net Income (Loss) – determined in accordance with GAAP;
 
  •   excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property;
 
  •   excluding extraordinary items (as defined by GAAP);
 
  •   plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets; and
 
  •   after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

     We calculate FFO available to common shareholders – diluted – NAREIT definition in the same manner, except that Net Income (Loss) is replaced by Net Income (Loss) Available to Common Shareholders and we include the effect of operating partnership unitholder minority interests.

     The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, developed FFO as a relative measure of performance and liquidity of an equity REIT to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. We consider FFO available to common shareholders – diluted – NAREIT definition and FFO appropriate measures of performance for an equity REIT and for its investment segments. However, FFO available to common shareholders – diluted – NAREIT definition and FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indication of our operating performance.

     The aggregate cash distributions paid to common shareholders and unitholders for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, was $44.0 million and $43.9 million, respectively. We reported Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders – diluted of $28.9 million and $27.5 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We calculate Adjusted FFO available to common shareholders – diluted by excluding the effect of impairment charges related to real estate assets and the effect of extinguishment of debt expense related to real estate asset sales. We reported FFO available to common shareholders – diluted – NAREIT definition of $27.8 million and $25.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

     An increase or decrease in FFO available to common shareholders – diluted – NAREIT definition does not necessarily result in an increase or decrease in aggregate distributions because our Board of Trust Managers is not required to increase distributions on a quarterly basis unless necessary to maintain our REIT status. However, we must distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (as defined in the Code). Therefore, a significant increase in FFO available to common shareholders – diluted – NAREIT definition will generally require an increase in distributions to shareholders and unitholders although not necessarily on a proportionate basis.

50


Table of Contents

     Accordingly, we believe that to facilitate a clear understanding of our consolidated historical operating results, FFO available to common shareholders – diluted – NAREIT definition should be considered in conjunction with our net income and cash flows reported in the consolidated financial statements and notes to the financial statements. However, our measure of FFO available to common shareholders – diluted – NAREIT definition may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs because these REITs may apply the definition of FFO in a different manner than we apply it.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     No material changes in our market risk occurred from December 31, 2004 through March 31, 2005. Information regarding our market risk at December 31, 2004, is contained in Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

     Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, such as this report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. These controls and procedures are based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Rules adopted by the SEC require that we present the conclusions of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer about the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.

     Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, and effected by our employees, including management and our Board of Trust Managers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This process includes policies and procedures that:

  •   pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets in reasonable detail;
 
  •   provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with the authorization procedures we have established; and
 
  •   provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of any of our assets in circumstances that could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

     Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. In designing and evaluating our control system, management recognized that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, that may affect our operations have been detected.

     These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management’s override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that our design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, our current controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions that cannot be anticipated at the present time, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

     Scope of the Evaluation. The evaluations by our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting included a review of procedures and our internal audit, as well as discussions with our Disclosure Committee, independent public accountants and others in our organization, as appropriate. In conducting the evaluation, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. In the course of the evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, were being undertaken. The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is done on a quarterly basis, so that the conclusions concerning the effectiveness of such controls can be reported in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K. Our internal control over financial reporting is also assessed on an ongoing basis by personnel in our accounting department and by our independent auditors in connection with their audit and review activities.

     The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting and to make modifications as necessary. Our intent in this regard is that the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will be maintained and updated (including with improvements and corrections) as conditions warrant. Among other matters, we sought in our evaluation to determine whether there were any “significant deficiencies” or “material weaknesses” in our internal control over financial reporting, or whether we had identified any acts of fraud involving personnel who have a significant role in our internal control over financial reporting. This information is important both for the evaluation generally and because the Section 302 certifications require that our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer disclose that information to the Audit Committee of our Board of Trust Managers and our independent auditors and also require us to report on related matters in this section of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 2, a “significant deficiency” is a “control deficiency,” or a combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the ability to initiate, authorize, record, process or report external financial data reliably in accordance with GAAP such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.

     A “control deficiency” exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A “material weakness” is defined in Auditing Standard No. 2 as a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. We also sought to deal with other control matters in the evaluation, and in any case in which a problem was identified, we considered what revision, improvement and/or correction was necessary to be made in accordance with our on-going procedures.

     Periodic Evaluation and Conclusion of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that such controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

     Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. We made no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2005, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

      As of December 31, 2004, we completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, noting material weaknesses at the Canyon Ranch Resort Properties. On January 18, 2005, we contributed a portion of our interests in these properties to a newly formed joint venture. As a result, we now have a 48% interest in an entity that owns these properties and we no longer consolidate them. We have determined our internal controls over financial reporting for equity investments for the year ended December 31, 2004 are effective, as a result, management believes that the deficiencies identified at the Canyon Ranch Resort Properties no longer constitute material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

We have registered the resale of such common shares under the Securities Act.

Item 5. Other Information

Determination of CEO Salary for 2005 and CEO Bonus for 2004. On March 21, 2005, our Board of Trust Managers approved the recommendations of the Compensation Committee of the General Partner that the 2005 base salary of John C. Goff, our Chief Executive Officer or CEO, remain at the 2004 level of $900,000 per year and that he receive a bonus of $900,000 for 2004.

Determination of Bonus Plan Performance Criteria for 2005. The Compensation Committee of the General Partner administers our Annual Incentive Compensation Plan For Select Employees of Crescent Real Estate Equities, Ltd., which we refer to as the Bonus Plan. On February 17, 2005, the Compensation Committee established (i) the positions to be covered by the Bonus Plan for 2005, (ii) the maximum annual bonus that the individual holding each position will be eligible to earn for 2005, and (iii) the performance criteria that an individual must satisfy to earn each level of bonus available to that individual. The performance criteria established generally consist of three components: a corporate component, a functional component and an individual component. The Compensation Committee has determined that the corporate component and the individual component of the performance criteria will apply to all of our officers. The functional component will apply to most, but not all, of our officers. A specified percentage of the maximum bonus is payable to an officer for each component of the performance criteria that applies to that officer and is met, and there may be intermediate thresholds within each component that affect the amount of the bonus payable to the officer. The percentage of the maximum bonus associated with the corporate component is payable to a particular officer only if we achieve a specified level of operating performance for 2005. The percentage of the maximum bonus associated with the functional unit component of the performance criteria, if any, is payable to a particular officer only if the functional unit within which that officer operates achieves specified performance measures specific to that functional unit. The percentage of the maximum bonus associated with the individual component of the performance criteria is payable to a particular officer only if the officer satisfies subjective performance criteria separately established for that officer. The Compensation Committee determined that each of our executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer, who is not eligible to participate in the Bonus Plan) was eligible to receive bonuses for 2005 performance. The maximum bonus for which these executive officers are eligible under the Bonus Plan ranges from 100% to 150% of their annual base salaries.

Determination of 2004 Bonus for Executive Officers other than CEO. On February 17, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the General Partner determined the 2004 bonuses for our executive officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer. The bonuses paid to our “Named Executive Officers,” who are the four most highly compensated executive officers during 2004 other than the Chief Executive Officer, for 2004 performance were as follows:

         
Named Executive Officer and Title   Bonus  
Dennis H. Alberts
President and Chief Operating Officer
  $ 500,000

Jane E. Mody
Managing Director, Capital Markets
  $ 272,250  
Jerry R. Crenshaw, Jr.
Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer
  $ 254,100  

In addition to the four Named Executive Officers, five other executive officers received bonuses for 2004 performance in amounts ranging from $138,750 to $254,100.

Determination of 2005 Salary for Named Executive Officers other than CEO. On February 17, 2005, the General Partner approved the 2005 salaries for each of our officers other than the Chief Executive Officer. The amount of the 2005 annual salary for each of our Named Executive Officers is as follows:
