NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Definition of Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are as
defined in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1998 (the "Form 10-K").
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared
pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and
regulations. The following notes highlight significant changes to the notes to
the December 31, 1998 audited consolidated and combined financial statements of
Equity Office Properties Trust and Equity Office Predecessors and should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the SEC.
NOTE 1 -- BUSINESS AND FORMATION OF THE COMPANY
As used herein, "Company" means Equity Office Properties Trust, a Maryland
real estate investment trust, together with its subsidiaries including the
Operating Partnership and Equity Office Predecessors. The Company was formed on
October 9, 1996 to continue and expand the national office property business
organized by Mr. Samuel Zell, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Company,
and to complete the Consolidation of the Equity Office Predecessors. The Company
completed its IPO on July 11, 1997. The Company is a fully integrated and
self-managed real estate company engaged in acquiring, owning, managing, leasing
and renovating office properties and parking facilities. The Company elected to
be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and generally will not be
subject to federal income tax if it distributes 100% of its taxable income and
complies with a number of organizational and operational requirements.
As of June 30, 1999, the Company owned or had an interest in 284 office
properties (the "Office Properties") containing approximately 75.8 million
rentable square feet of office space and 20 stand-alone parking facilities (the
"Parking Facilities" and, together with the Office Properties, the "Properties")
containing approximately 20,506 parking spaces. The weighted average occupancy
of the Office Properties at June 30, 1999 was approximately 94.3%. The Office
Properties are located in 79 submarkets in 35 markets in 24 states and the
District of Columbia. The Office Properties, by rentable square feet, are
located approximately 52% in CBDs and 48% in suburban markets.
NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company's assets, which include investments in joint ventures, are
primarily owned by, and its operations are substantially conducted through, the
Operating Partnership. The Company is the managing general partner of the
Operating Partnership. Due to the Company's ability as managing general partner
to control the Operating Partnership and various other property holding
subsidiaries, each such entity has been consolidated with the Company for
financial reporting purposes.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Company in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Unaudited Interim Statements
The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and related footnote
disclosures are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such
6
<PAGE> 7
EQUITY OFFICE PROPERTIES TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
of the results of the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal,
recurring nature.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the previously reported 1998
statements in order to provide comparability with the 1999 statements reported
herein. These reclassifications have not changed the 1998 results or
shareholders' equity.
NOTE 3 -- INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE

bear interest at a stated rate of 7.5% per annum and have an effective annual

Common Shares
The following table presents the changes in the Company's issued and
outstanding Common Shares since March 31, 1999 (excluding 30,674,244 and
28,465,147 Units outstanding at June 30, 1999 and March 31, 1999, respectively,
which are convertible into Common Shares on a one-for-one basis, or the cash

(1) Certain Common Shares were placed in escrow and are subject to release
pursuant to the provisions of the Merger Agreement, Plan of Liquidation and
Escrow Agreements entered into at the time of the Consolidation. On April
26, 1999, 2,284,912 Common Shares were released from escrow and 2,242,959 of
such Common Shares were cancelled. Inasmuch as the retired shares represent
indirect interests in the Operating Partnership which were re-allocated from
the Company (thereby decreasing the number of Common Shares outstanding) to
other Unitholders (thereby increasing the number of Units owned by partners
other than the Company), the number of outstanding Units did not change as
result of this reallocation. This reallocation did not change the amount of
fully diluted Common Shares and Units outstanding. In addition, 20,000
restricted Common Shares were retired by the Company in June 1999.
On June 30, 1999, the Company established a dividend reinvestment plan (the
"DRIP") and the direct share purchase plan (the "DSPP"). The DRIP allows the
Company's shareholders to reinvest dividends received into additional Common
Shares. The DSPP allows shareholders to make direct share purchases from the
Company. The Company registered 25,000,000 Common Shares with the SEC in
connection with the DRIP and DSPP and expects to issue Common Shares under each
plan.
Ownership of Operating Partnership
The Company's ownership in the Operating Partnership was approximately
89.4% and 90.1% as of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.

NOTE 11 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at financial
institutions. The combined account balances at each institution typically exceed
FDIC insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit
risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage.
Management of the Company believes that the risk is not significant. The Company
from time to time enters into interest rate protection agreements to effectively
convert floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis, as well as to hedge
anticipated financing transactions. The Company believes it has limited exposure
to the risk of non-performance by the swap counterparties since each
counterparty is a major U.S. financial institution; management does not
anticipate any such non-performance. As of June 30, 1999, the Company has one
interest rate protection agreement which effectively fixed the interest rate on
a $93.6 million loan at 6.94% through the maturity of the loan on June 30, 2000.
Environmental
The Company, as an owner of real estate, is subject to various
environmental laws of federal and local governments. Compliance by the Company
with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition and results of operations, and management does not believe
it will have such an impact in the future. However, the Company cannot predict
the impact of new or changed laws or regulations on its current Properties or on
properties that it may acquire in the future.
12
<PAGE> 13
EQUITY OFFICE PROPERTIES TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
Litigation
The Company has become a party to various legal actions resulting from the
operational activities transferred to the Operating Partnership in connection
with the Consolidation and the Beacon Merger. These actions are incidental to
the transferred business and management does not believe that these actions will
have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Neither the Company nor any of the Properties is presently subject to any
material litigation nor, to the Company's knowledge, is any litigation
threatened against the Company or any of the Properties, other than actions
which the Company does not believe to be material, or routine actions for
negligence and other claims and administrative proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of business, some of which are expected to be covered by
liability insurance and all of which collectively are not expected to have a
material adverse effect on the liquidity, business, results of operations or
financial condition of the Company.
Geographical
The Company carries earthquake insurance on all of the Properties,
including those located in California, subject to coverage limitations which the
Company believes are commercially reasonable. In light of the California
earthquake risk, California building codes since the early 1970s have
established construction standards for all new buildings. The current and
strictest construction standards were adopted in 1987. Of the 43 Properties
located in California, 12 have been built since January 1, 1988 and the Company
believes that all of the Properties were constructed in full compliance with the
applicable standards existing at the time of construction. No assurance can be
given that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the
future.
Commitments
In March 1998, the Board of Trustees of the Company approved the purchase
of Prominence, an office building development in Atlanta, Georgia, consisting of
425,706 square feet and an 11.88-acre land parcel. This office property and land
parcel was acquired on July 13, 1999 for approximately $70.8 million.
In July 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the World
Trade Center project in Seattle, Washington. The property consists of
approximately 186,787 square feet of office space and is 100% preleased to a
single tenant. After the tenant takes full occupancy in early 2000, the Company
is expected to purchase the building for approximately $39.0 million. This
transaction is contingent upon certain terms and conditions as set forth in the
purchase agreement. There can be no assurance that this transaction will be
consummated as described above.
In accordance with the agreement governing the Company's investment in
WRALP, the Company agreed to make available to WRALP up to $20.0 million in
additional financing or credit support for future development. As of June 30,
1999, no amounts have been funded pursuant to this agreement.
Contingencies
At June 30, 1999, the Company has put option agreements outstanding in
connection with the acquisition of the Wright Runstad Properties. On August 13,
1999, the WR Holders can require the Company to purchase all or a portion of the
3,435,688 Common Shares issued to them in the acquisition at a price equal to
$31.50 per Common Share. Prior to August 13, 1999, if the WR Holders sell all or
a portion of their Common Shares to a third party for a price less than
$29.10625, then the Company shall pay to the WR Holders for each Common Share
sold at such lower price an amount equal to the difference between $29.10625 and
such lower price, not to exceed $3.00 per Common Share. Any amounts paid by the
Company as a result of such sale, will be recorded as a reduction in
shareholders' equity. For put options exercised on August 13, 1999, any amounts
paid up to $29.10625 per Common Share would be reflected as a reduction to
shareholders' equity;
13
<PAGE> 14
EQUITY OFFICE PROPERTIES TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
the portion of any amounts paid in excess of $29.10625 per Common Share (not to
exceed $2.39375 per Common Share up to an aggregate of approximately $8.2
million) would be expensed by the Company. The Company will not incur any loss
on this transaction if the put option is not exercised.
As of August 5, 1999, the Company and the WR Holders have agreed, subject
to documentation, to amend the put option agreement to defer to August 13, 2000
(or to August 13, 2001 at the option of the WR Holders) the exercise date for
50% of the Common Shares affected by the put option agreement (a maximum
exposure to the Company of approximately $54.1 million when and if this put
option is exercised). The Company and the WR Holders also agreed to cancel the
put option on the remaining 50% of the affected Common Shares in exchange for
the Company's payment to the WR Holders of an amount equal to the excess, if
any, of (x) $31.50 over (y) the average price of a Common Share calculated over
the five trading days immediately prior to August 13, 1999, for each of the
remaining 1,717,844 Common Shares affected by the put option agreement.
Effective as of September 3, 1998, the Company amended its pre-existing put
option agreement with the seller of the Columbus America Properties (the "CA
Holder") related to 1,692,546 Units issued at acquisition. The CA Holder has the
option at any time after January 1, 1999 until the earlier of (a) September 3,
2000 or (b) the date the CA Holder has converted all of its Units to Common
Shares, to require the Company to purchase the Units at a price equal to $29.00
per Unit. Under the terms of the agreement, prior to September 3, 1999, the
option shall be limited to an aggregate of 846,273 Units. In the event of any
option exercise, the Company will recognize any cash paid as a reduction of
minority interest. As of June 30, 1999, the CA Holder has not exercised its
option to require the Company to purchase the Units.
In connection with the acquisition of Worldwide Plaza on October 1, 1998,
the Company issued a transferable put option on the 6,861,166 Units issued at
acquisition which is exercisable only on the third anniversary of closing with
an estimated fair value of approximately $27.4 million. This option entitles its
holder to additional Common Shares, the number of which shall be determined
using a formula based on the extent, if any, that the Common Shares are then
trading at less than $29.05 per share.
NOTE 12 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
1. In July 1999, the Board of Trustees of the Company declared a third
quarter distribution for the Series B Preferred Shares of $0.65625 per share.
The distribution will be paid on August 16, 1999 to holders of record as of
August 2, 1999.
2. In July 1999, the Board of Trustees of the Company declared a third
quarter dividend for the Common Shares and Units of $0.42 per Common Share/Unit.
The dividend will be paid on October 13, 1999 to holders of record as of
September 30, 1999.
3. Certain Common Shares were placed in escrow and are subject to release
pursuant to the provisions of the Merger Agreement, Plan of Liquidation and
Escrow Agreements entered into at the time of the Consolidation. On July 26,
1999, 9,047,291 Common Shares were released from escrow and 5,978,007 of such
Common Shares were cancelled. Inasmuch as the retired shares represent indirect
interests in the Operating Partnership which were re-allocated from the Company
(thereby decreasing the number of Common Shares outstanding) to other
Unitholders (thereby increasing the number of Units owned by partners other than
the Company), the number of outstanding Units did not change as a result of this
reallocation. This reallocation did not change the amount of fully diluted
Common Shares and Units outstanding.
4. In July 1999, the Company entered into two forward interest rate hedge
agreements with unaffiliated counterparties for a notional amount of $50.0
million each at a forward rate of 5.85% and 5.7925%, respectively, in
anticipation of future financing transactions. Both agreements terminate in
August 1999 and are referenced to the ten-year U.S. Treasury Note.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
OVERVIEW
The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial
condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and Notes thereto contained
herein. Terms employed herein as defined terms, but without definition, shall
have the meaning set forth in the financial statements. Statements contained in
this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" including without limitation, the "Developments" and "Year 2000"
disclosures, which are not historical facts may be forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act"). The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be
covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained
in Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such statements are subject to certain risks
and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from
those projected or anticipated. Readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of June 30,
1999. Among the factors about which the Company has made assumptions are the
following:
- Future economic conditions which may impact upon the demand for office
space and tenant ability to pay rent, either at current or increased
levels.
- Prevailing interest rates.
- The extent of any inflation on operating expenses.
- The Company's ability to reduce various expenses as a percentage of
revenues.
- The Company's continuing ability to pay amounts due to its noteholders
and preferred shareholders prior to any distribution to holders of its
Common Shares.
- The cost to complete and lease-up pending developments.
- The continued availability of the $1.0 Billion Credit Facility.
During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company acquired three
Office Properties containing approximately 1.2 million square feet and one
Parking Facility for approximately $241.6 million. The Company also sold four
Office Properties for approximately $98.0 million. In addition, the Company
issued the $1.0 Billion Notes in three tranches with an effective interest rate
of 6.8% per annum and issued the $200 Million Notes with an effective interest
rate of 7.6% per annum.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
The following discussion is based primarily on the consolidated financial
statements of the Company as of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 and for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.
The Company receives income primarily from rental revenue from the Office
Properties (including reimbursements from tenants for certain operating costs)
and from parking revenue from Office Properties and Parking Facilities.

(1) The 601 Tchoupitoulas garage was previously considered a stand-alone
garage and included in the number of parking facilities owned by the
Company. Effective with the second quarter of 1999, this garage is no
longer considered a stand-alone parking facility.
As a result of the acquisition and disposition of properties, the financial
data presented shows changes in revenues and expenses from period to period.
Therefore the Company does not believe its period-to-period financial data are
comparable. The following analysis shows changes resulting from Properties that
were held during the entire period for the periods being compared (the "Core
Portfolio") and the changes in the Total Portfolio.

</TABLE>
Property Revenues
The increase in rental revenues, tenant reimbursements, parking income and
other income ("Property Revenues") in the Core Portfolio resulted from a
combination of occupancy and rental rate increases. The weighted average
occupancy of the Core Portfolio increased from approximately 94.5% at April 1,
1998 to 95.1% as of June 30, 1999. This increase represents approximately .4
million square feet of additional occupancy in the Core Portfolio between April
1, 1998 and June 30, 1999.
Property Revenues for the Total Portfolio include lease termination fees of
approximately $3.1 million and $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively, substantially all of which is related to the Core
Portfolio (included in the "other revenue" category on the consolidated
statements of operations). These fees are related to specific tenants who have
paid a fee to terminate their lease obligations before the end of the
contractual term of their lease. Although the Company has historically
experienced similar levels of such termination fees, there is no way of
predicting the timing or amounts of future lease termination fees.
Property Revenues for the Total Portfolio include straight-line rent
adjustments of approximately $15.2 million and $15.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Property Revenues for the
Core Portfolio include straight-line rent adjustments of approximately $11.4
million and $15.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

<PAGE> 18
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased for the Total Portfolio as a result of having
more debt outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 1999 than in the
three months ended June 30, 1998. The increase in total debt and the related
increase in interest expense were directly attributable to property
acquisitions. The Company's total debt as a percentage of total assets increased
from approximately 38.4% at June 30, 1998 to 42.2% at June 30, 1999, and the
Company's interest coverage ratio decreased from approximately 3.2 times in 1998
to 2.9 times in 1999. The weighted average interest rate on the Company's debt
decreased from approximately 7.1% at June 30, 1998 to approximately 7.0% at June
30, 1999. The decrease in interest expense in the Core Portfolio is primarily
due to the replacement of secured debt with unsecured debt which is not
allocated to the Core Portfolio.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense for the Total Portfolio increased as
a result of Properties acquired and capital and tenant improvements made during
1999 and 1998. Depreciation and amortization expense for the Core Portfolio
increased as a result of capital and tenant improvements made to the Properties.
Property Operating Expenses
Real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance and other property
operating expenses ("Property Operating Expenses") increased slightly for the
Core Portfolio primarily due to an increase in real estate tax expense.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased due to the size of the
Company's portfolio increasing and additional expenses associated with being a
public company. During 1999, the Company made significant investments in its
information systems, including the hiring of additional personnel, and also
established a real estate services group. In addition, the Company incurred
severance cost relating to the resignation of an employee. While general and
administrative expenses will continue to increase should the size of the
Company's portfolio continue to increase, it is anticipated that the Company
will realize economies of scale with future growth, should it occur.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
LIQUIDITY
Net cash provided from operations represents the primary source of
liquidity to fund distributions, debt service, recurring capital costs and
non-revenue enhancing tenant improvements. In order to qualify as a REIT for
federal income tax purposes, the Company must distribute 95% of its REIT taxable
income (excluding capital gains) annually. Accordingly, the Company currently
intends to continue to make, but has not contractually bound itself to make,
regular quarterly distributions to holders of Common Shares/Units and preferred
shares. The Company has established annual distribution rates as follows: $1.48
per annum per Common Share/Unit, 8.98% per annum ($2.245 per share) for each
Series A Preferred Share, 5.25% per annum ($2.625 per share) for each Series B
Preferred Share and 8.625% per annum ($2.15625 per share) for each Series C
Preferred Share. In July 1999, the Company increased its annual distribution
rate for Common Shares and Units to $1.68 effective third quarter 1999.
The Company intends to continue to fund distributions, debt service,
recurring capital costs and non-revenue enhancing tenant improvements from cash
from operations and draws under the $1.0 Billion Credit Facility. The Company
also expects that the $1.0 Billion Credit Facility will be a source of cash for
temporary working capital, the funding of capital improvements and revenue
enhancing tenant improvements, unanticipated cash needs, acquisitions and
development costs.
Since the anticipated size of the Company's distributions will not allow
the Company, using only cash from operations, to retire all of its debt as it
comes due, the Company will be required to repay maturing debt with funds from
debt and/or equity financing.

$10.6 million and $17.8 million, respectively, recorded in connection with the
Consolidation, debt assumed in connection with certain of the Company's

CREDIT FACILITIES
Line of Credit
The $1.0 Billion Credit Facility matures on May 29, 2001. The interest rate
is based on the Company's investment grade credit rating on its unsecured debt
and is currently LIBOR plus 60 basis points with a facility fee equal to 20
basis points in respect to the entire facility, payable quarterly. In addition,
a competitive bid option, whereby the lenders participating in the facility bid
on the interest rate to be charged, is available for up to $350 million of the
facility. The amount outstanding on the $1.0 Billion Credit Facility as of July
30, 1999 was approximately $60.8 million.
Term Loan Facilities
The $328 million Credit Facility is priced at 90-day LIBOR plus 80 basis
points and is prepayable on any interest payment date and matures on August 15,
2000.
The $200 million Credit Facility bears interest at either a money market
rate or LIBOR plus 50 basis points with a facility fee equal to 20 basis points
per annum, at the Company's option. As of June 30, 1999, the Company elected the
money market rate which equated to 5.8%. The interest rate may be reset after
the first twelve months for an additional six months and again after eighteen
months for an additional six months for a ten basis point fee.

additional $300 million in unsecured notes at a later date. Each warrant
entitles its holder thereof to purchase a new $1,000 note at par on December
15, 1999 (or in certain circumstances on January 18, 2000) at a stated rate
of 6.763%, which
24
<PAGE> 25
will mature on June 15, 2008 and will have other terms substantially similar to
the $300 million nine year notes due 2007.
(5) These notes were issued in April 1999. The net proceeds of approximately
$196.6 million were used to repay amounts outstanding on the $1.0 Billion
Credit Facility.
The Company filed a shelf registration statement, which was declared
effective on July 22, 1998, relating to the potential issuance from time to time
of up to $2.0 billion of unsecured debt securities and warrants exercisable for
debt securities in amounts, at initial prices and on terms to be determined at
the time of offering. The securities may be issued separately or together, in
separate series and in amounts, at prices and on terms to be described in one or
more supplements to the prospectus. The Company sold $1.0 billion of unsecured
notes in January 1999 and $200 million of unsecured notes in April 1999 under
this registration statement.
Restrictions and Covenants
Agreements or instruments relating to the unsecured notes and lines of
credit contain certain restrictions and requirements regarding total debt to
assets ratios, secured debt to total assets ratios, debt service coverage
ratios, minimum ratio of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt and other
limitations.
EQUITY SECURITIES
During the three months ended June 30, 1999, there were 70,955 share
options exercised and 33,862 Units were redeemed into Common Shares on a
one-for-one basis. In addition, certain Common Shares were placed in escrow and
are subject to release pursuant to the provisions of the Merger Agreement, Plan
of Liquidation and Escrow Agreements entered into at the time of the
Consolidation. On April 26, 1999, 2,284,912 Common Shares were released from
escrow and 2,242,959 of such Common Shares were cancelled. Inasmuch as the
retired shares represent indirect interests in the Operating Partnership which
were re-allocated from the Company (thereby decreasing the number of Common
Shares outstanding) to other Unitholders (thereby increasing the number of Units
owned by partners other than the Company), the number of outstanding Units did
not change as result of this reallocation. This reallocation did not change the
amount of fully diluted Common Shares and Units outstanding. In addition, 20,000
restricted Common Shares were retired by the Company in June 1999.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
The Company takes capital improvements and revenue enhancing tenant
improvements into consideration at the time of acquisition in determining the
amount of equity and debt financing required to purchase the property and fund
the improvements. Therefore, capital improvements made in the year of
acquisition and the two following years are treated separately from typical
recurring capital expenditures, non-revenue enhancing tenant improvements and
leasing commissions required once these Properties have reached stabilized
occupancy, and deferred maintenance and renovations planned at the time of
acquisition have been completed. Capital improvements (including tenant
improvements and leasing commissions for shell space) for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 were approximately $12.9 million or $0.17 per square foot. These
amounts exclude capital and tenant improvements of approximately $45.8 million
for developments.
The Company considers capital expenditures to be recurring expenditures
relating to the ongoing maintenance of the Office Properties. The table below
summarizes capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The
capital expenditures set forth below are not necessarily indicative of future
capital expenditures.

TENANT IMPROVEMENTS AND LEASING COMMISSION COSTS
The Company distinguishes its tenant improvements and leasing commissions
between those that are revenue enhancing (i.e., required for space which is
vacant at the time of acquisition or that has been vacant for nine months or
more) and non-revenue enhancing (i.e., required to maintain the revenue being
generated from currently leased space). The table below summarizes the revenue
enhancing and non-revenue enhancing tenant improvements and leasing commissions
for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The tenant improvement and leasing
commission costs set forth below are presented on an aggregate basis and do not
reflect significant regional variations and, in any event, are not necessarily

DEVELOPMENT
In connection with the Beacon Merger and other acquisitions, the Company
acquired certain Properties that are currently in various stages of development
or pre-development. The Company funds these developments with proceeds from
working capital and the credit facilities. Specifically identifiable direct and
indirect acquisition, development and construction costs are capitalized
including, where applicable, salaries and related costs, real estate taxes,
interest and certain pre-construction costs essential to the development of a
property. During the second quarter of 1999, the Company acquired 517 Marquette
Garage and Metropoint II received its Certificate of Occupancy. As a result, the
properties are now considered operational and are no longer disclosed in the
table below. In addition, two properties previously classified as "Other
Projects" totalling $39.9 million were reclassified as land held available for
development based on their current status.

YEAR 2000
OVERVIEW OF Y2K PROBLEM
The Year 2000 or "Y2K" problem refers to the inability of many existing
computer programs to properly recognize a year that begins with "20" instead of
the familiar "19". If left uncorrected, many computer programs having
time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000. The failure to accurately recognize the year 2000 and other
key dates could result in a variety of problems from data miscalculations to the
failure of entire systems. Among the assumptions the Company has made in the
course of this discussion are the following:
- The Company's ability to accurately determine its Y2K readiness on a
cost-effective basis.
- The availability of personnel and systems as required to correct any Y2K
problems known to the Company.
- The continued availability of such personnel and systems on a
commercially reasonable basis throughout 1999.
THE YEAR 2000 PROGRAM
In the early months of 1998, the Company formed a Year 2000 committee for
the purpose of creating a program (the "Program") to identify, understand and
address the myriad of issues associated with the Y2K problem. Such committee is
comprised of representatives from senior management and various departments at
the home and regional offices, including the legal, engineering,
telecommunications, information systems and office services departments. Due to
the wide-ranging implications of the Y2K problem, management decided to carry
out the Program in multiple phases during 1998 and the remainder of 1999. What
follows is a description of the activities that have been or are expected to be
conducted in each phase of the Program, including a summary of the results
obtained to date and a time table for completion. Although many of the phases of
the Program are being carried out simultaneously, the various phases will be
discussed separately.
PHASE ONE -- ASSESSING THE COMPANY'S Y2K READINESS
The initial step in assessing the Company's Y2K readiness consists of
conducting a study to identify any systems and applications (collectively
referred to as "systems") that are date sensitive and, accordingly, could have
potential Y2K problems. The study includes an examination of information
technology and non-information technology systems at the Company's home and
regional offices and at the Company's Properties. For the most part, the initial
step of identifying potentially problematic systems has been completed by the
Company's Information Systems department, building engineers and third party
consultants through a combination of physical inspections and informational
interviews with Company employees.
After identifying systems that could have a potential Y2K problem, the
second step of Phase I was to attempt to determine which of the systems actually
have a Y2K problem. Much of the required information is within the exclusive
control of the Company's vendors and manufacturers, who have been contacted
through standard form letters and telephone calls requesting information. In
many cases, information was also available on vendor and manufacturer web sites.
Even if a particular system has been represented to be Y2K ready or compliant,
the Company, in many cases, will not consider the system to be Y2K ready until
after the Company has confirmed the system's readiness by independent validation
testing. The Company currently
28
<PAGE> 29
plans to perform, or has already performed, validation testing for: (i) all
Building Management Systems (described below); and (ii) except in limited
circumstances where testing is not practical, all information systems (described
below) whose failure could have a catastrophic effect on the daily operation of
the Company. A standard questionnaire has been developed for the purpose of
assessing the need to perform validation testing on information systems whose
failure could have a significant adverse effect on the daily operation of any of
the Company's departments. Based on the results of the questionnaire, the
Company will decide, on a case-by-case basis, whether to perform validation
testing with respect to specific systems that have received a criticality rating
of significant or minimal. In addition to examining the Company's systems for
Y2K readiness, the Company continues to assess the progress of the Building
Owners and Managers Association ("BOMA"), the General Services Administration
("GSA") and other industry leaders that are monitoring the compliance efforts of
the major utility and telecommunications companies. The following is a summary
of the Phase One results obtained to date.
BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
The Company has identified six categories of building management systems in
which it has the most exposure to potential Y2K problems. These categories
include:
- Building automation (e.g. energy management, HVAC)
- Security card access
- Fire and life safety
- Elevator
- Garage revenue control
- Telephone
Prior to January 1999, the Company completed a preliminary Y2K readiness
study of the building management systems outlined above at each of the Company's
Properties. Based upon this study, the Company will upgrade or replace specific
building management systems that were represented not to be Year 2000 ready or
compliant. The estimated cost of such upgrades and replacements is described in
the Phase Two summary that follows. It is possible that independent testing of
the building management systems may reveal the need for additional upgrades and
replacements. As of July 20, 1999, the Company has completed validation testing
for approximately 63% of the building management systems. It should be noted
that the garage revenue control systems for the Equity Capital Holdings parking
garages are being inventoried, assessed and tested separate from the building
management systems for the remainder of the Company. The inventory and
assessment phase for these systems is currently scheduled to be completed in the
third quarter of 1999. Validation testing is currently scheduled to be completed
in November, 1999.
INFORMATION SYSTEMS
The Company's information systems falls into four general categories:
accounting and property management, network operating systems, desktop software
and secondary systems.
ACCOUNTING AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Management believes that it has determined the Company's exposure with
respect to the Company's accounting and property management software (MRI).
Testing of the MRI software and installation of Y2K upgrades has been completed,
bringing that system to full Y2K readiness.
The Company is actively preparing to replace the general ledger (GL)
component of the MRI system during third quarter of 1999 to a new JD Edwards
implementation. The software is certified by the vendor to be fully Y2K
compliant and is known to have successfully been tested for Y2K compliance by
other companies that use it. Management is therefore currently reviewing whether
additional Y2K testing is warranted. Accounts Payable and Property Management
modules of the JD Edwards software are currently
29
<PAGE> 30
being prepared for future implementation. Those modules within MRI will continue
to be used until such replacement occurs.
NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEMS
Management believes that the network operating systems on its servers are
currently approximately 75% Y2K ready. The servers that are not currently Y2K
ready require a software patch that is being acquired from the software
manufacturer. Upgrades of the Company's network operating systems are expected
to be installed by September, 1999, bringing the network operating systems on
its servers into full year 2000 readiness. Management believes that testing of
this new software is not necessary, as it has already been proven in the
industry to be Y2K compliant.
DESKTOP SOFTWARE
Management believes that all of the Company's desktop systems and software
applications have been reviewed. Management has identified those that are not in
compliance and compiled a list of necessary upgrades. The efforts to ready the
Company's desktop systems for Y2K are being directed towards a broader Company
initiative referred to as EO 2000. As part of the EO 2000 program, the Company
currently intends to install Windows NT and Microsoft Office 97 on all field and
home office desktop systems. It is currently anticipated that all field
installations will be completed by the end of November, 1999. The Company does
not intend to install Windows NT and Microsoft Office 97 in the corporate office
until the first and second quarters of 2000. As such, a software patch will be
installed to upgrade the Windows95 operating system currently used in the
corporate office and to install Microsoft Office 97 software.
The Company's time frame for EO 2000 is expected to be as follows:
- Systems (hardware and software) testing for Y2K readiness -- Complete
- Install updated software that will also provide Y2K readiness -- In
Progress
- Complete installation/full Y2K readiness at Company
Properties -- November 1999
- Complete installation of software patches at corporate office -- November
1999
SECONDARY INFORMATION SYSTEMS
The Company's "secondary" information systems include, but are not limited
to: payroll, human resources, fixed-asset system, forecasting modeling software,
and all types of internally developed software, such as the Company's budget
program and tenant-services system. The Company has retained a third party
consultant to assist in identifying and assessing the readiness of its
information systems, including the secondary systems. As mentioned above, the
Company currently plans to test a number of the systems, including secondary
systems, that were represented by the vendors or manufacturers to be Year 2000
ready or compliant. With limited expectations, all systems that received a
criticality rating of catastrophic will be (or have been) tested. The need to
test systems receiving a criticality rating of significant or minimal will be
determined based on the results of questionnaires to be completed by an end user
of each individual system.
TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
Management generally believes that the Company's internal telephone systems
are not date sensitive and should not be materially affected by Y2K problems.
Although there could be some convenience issues such as inaccurate voice-mail
message date stamps, such problems are not expected to be material and, in large
part, should be corrected prior to the year 2000.
PHASE TWO -- DETERMINING THE COST OF ACHIEVING Y2K READINESS AND IMPLEMENTING
THE Y2K ACTION PLAN
Based upon the preliminary studies that were completed in January 1999, the
Company has budgeted approximately $7.4 million for the upgrade and replacement
of building management systems having potential Y2K related problems. This
amount equates to an average of approximately $.10 per rentable square foot at
30
<PAGE> 31
each of the Company's Properties and does not include any costs to upgrade or
replace garage revenue control systems in the Equity Capital Holdings parking
garages. The Company currently estimates that it will spend approximately
$350,000 for the testing, validation and remediation of the Equity Capital
Holdings parking garage revenue control systems. An estimate of costs to upgrade
or replace any of the garage revenue control systems will be prepared following
the completion of the Year 2000 assessment for such systems. It is management's
belief that, with respect to the Company's Office Properties, a large part of
the cost of bringing the building management systems into compliance will be
considered to be reimbursable to the Company under most tenant leases or is
being incurred as part of a broader initiative to improve building operating
systems.
The estimated cost of the EO 2000 initiative is $1.7 million. Most of the
work related to EO 2000 is not Y2K related. The Company is still in the process
of completing Phases One and Two of the Program with respect to Information
Systems. Approximately $.3 million was spent in Phase I to identify information
systems that could have potential Y2K problems and to obtain information from
the vendors and manufacturers of such systems concerning Y2K readiness. The
Company currently projects that it will cost approximately $.65 million to
complete testing, validation and remediation of all corporate and desktop
information systems.
PHASE THREE -- ASSESSING THE RISKS TO THE COMPANY OF NON-COMPLIANCE
Management does not currently believe that the impact of the Y2K problem
will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and
results of operations. Such belief is based on management's analysis of the
risks to the Company related to the Company's own potential Y2K problems
discussed above, as well as its assessment of the Y2K problems of the Company's
vendors, suppliers and customers.
FAILURE OF BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Management believes that the Y2K risks to the Company's financial condition
and operation associated with a failure of building management systems is
immaterial due to the fact that most building management systems can be operated
in a manual or by-pass mode, thereby negating the Y2K problem until it can be
corrected. Also, each of the Company's Properties has, for the most part,
separate building management systems. Accordingly, a Y2K problem that is
experienced at one Property should have no effect on other Properties. In
addition, based upon the study results received to date, management believes
that the Company will have sufficient time to correct those system problems
within its control before the year 2000.
In the event the Company does experience a failure of essential building
management systems at one or more of the Company's buildings, whether due to a
failure of one of its systems or an interruption of utilities, management
believes that the individual tenant leases will protect the Company from claims
of constructive eviction or other remedies that could result in a termination of
lease rights. It is also management's belief that most of its leases eliminate,
limit or quantify the rights of a tenant to receive an abatement under such
circumstances. Although there is always a risk of claims being brought on a
non-contractual basis (e.g. in tort), it is the Company's belief that its
efforts to identify and solve Y2K problems will minimize such risk. The Company
has also attempted to allocate the risk of non-compliance to the vendors and
manufacturers of the building management and information systems by establishing
standard riders and addenda to be attached to new contracts for systems using
time sensitive data.
FAILURE OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Since the Company's major source of income is rental payments under long
term leases, the failure of key information systems is not expected to have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of
operations. Even if the Company were to experience problems with its information
systems, the payment of rent under the leases would not be excused. In addition,
the Company expects to correct those information system problems within its
control before the year 2000, thereby minimizing or avoiding the increased cost
of correcting problems after the fact.
31
<PAGE> 32
THE Y2K PROBLEMS OF THE COMPANY'S VENDORS
The success of the Company's business is not closely tied to the operations
of any one manufacturer, vendor or supplier. Accordingly, if any of the
Company's manufacturers, vendors or suppliers ceases to conduct business due to
Y2K related problems, the Company expects to be able to contract with alternate
providers without experiencing any material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition and results of operations. The Company has received a Year
2000 Readiness Disclosure from its transfer agent, Equiserve, indicating that it
is on track with all of its system readiness and testing, as well as its
development of contingency plans.
THE Y2K PROBLEMS OF THE COMPANY'S CUSTOMERS
Due to our broad customer/tenant base, the success of the Company's
business is not closely tied to the success of any particular tenant.
Accordingly, management believes that there should not be a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations if any one
of its tenants ceased to conduct business (and pay rent) due to Y2K related
problems. This would not necessarily be the case, however, were Y2K problems
sufficiently pervasive as to affect the financial conditions of a material
number of the Company's tenants. As part of its efforts to keep its tenants
advised as to the steps the Company is taking to address potential Y2K problems,
the Company has also requested that its tenants provide it with periodic updates
as to their Y2K readiness.
DOOMSDAY SCENARIO
The Company is aware that it is generally believed that the world's Y2K
problem, if uncorrected, may result in an economic crisis of global proportions.
The Company is unable to determine whether such predictions are true or false.
As mentioned above, the Company expects that the nature of its income (rent from
good credit tenants under long term leases) should serve as a hedge against any
short term disruptions of business. However, if the doomsday scenarios prove
true, all companies (including Equity Office Properties Trust) will experience
the effects.
PHASE FOUR -- DEVELOPING CONTINGENCY PLANS
A Y2K Operating Contingency Plan template and Y2K Systems Contingency Plan
template have been completed and distributed to all of the Company Properties.
The Operating Contingency Plan addresses a variety of issues involved with the
operation of the Company Properties, including a plan for communicating with the
Company's tenants pre-millennium and post-millennium. The Systems Contingency
Plan focuses on a potential failure of building management systems. Based upon
the templates, the Company's office building managers and engineers will develop
building specific contingency plans. Such plans are currently scheduled to be
completed by October 22, 1999. Upon completion, the individual building plans
will be subject to review and approval by each Regional Vice President of
Management and Regional Engineer. In certain instances (e.g. third party
operated garages), contingency plans will be prepared by the third party
managers for review and approval by the Company. The determination of whether or
not to develop contingency plans for specific information systems will be made
on a case-by-case basis based upon the criticality rating of the individual
system (i.e. catastrophic, significant or minimal), the results of the standard
questionnaire referred to above and the likelihood that a contingency plan could
be successfully implemented.
INFLATION
Substantially all of the office leases require the tenant to pay, as
additional rent, a portion of any increases in real estate taxes (except, in the
case of certain California leases, which limit the ability of the landlord to
pass through to the tenants the effect of increased real estate taxes
attributable to a sale of real property interests) and operating expenses over a
base amount. In addition, many of the office leases provide for fixed increases
in base rent or indexed escalations (based on the Consumer Price Index or other
measures). The Company believes that inflationary increases in expenses will be
offset, in part, by the expense reimbursements and contractual rent increases
described above.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
Management of the Company believes Funds from Operations, as defined by the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT"), to be an
appropriate measure of performance for an equity REIT. While Funds from
Operations is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of
equity REITs, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as
defined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and it should not
be considered as an alternative to these indicators in evaluating liquidity or
operating performance of the Company.
The following table reflects the calculation of the Company's Funds from
Operations for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 on a historical
basis:

- ---------------
(1) The White Paper on Funds from Operations approved by the Board of Governors
of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") in
March 1995 defines Funds from Operations as net income (loss) (computed in
accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring
and sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and
amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures. The Company believes that Funds from Operations is helpful to
investors as a measure of the performance of an equity REIT because, along
with cash flow from operating activities, financing activities and investing
activities, it provides investors with an indication of the ability of the
Company to incur and service debt, to make capital expenditures and to fund
other cash needs. The Company computes Funds from Operations in accordance
with standards established by NAREIT which may not be comparable to Funds
from Operations reported by other REITs that do not define the term in
accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current
NAREIT definition differently than the Company. Funds from Operations does
not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with
GAAP, nor does it represent cash available to pay distributions and should
not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance
with GAAP) as an indication of the Company's financial performance or to
cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as
a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds
available to fund the Company's cash needs, including its ability to make
cash distributions.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Since December 31, 1998, there have been no material changes in the
information regarding market risk that was provided in the Company's Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1998 except as provided below:
In July 1999, the Company entered into two forward interest rate hedge
agreements with unaffiliated counterparties for a notional amount of $50 million
each at a forward rate of 5.85% and 5.7925%, respectively, in anticipation of
future financing transactions. Both agreements terminate in August, 1999 and are
referenced to the ten-year U.S. Treasury Note. Upon settlement of the
agreements, the Company may have to pay monies to, or receive monies from, the
counterparties depending on the referenced ten-year U.S. Treasury Note on the
settlement date. If the ten-year U.S. Treasury Notes are 10% lower than the
forward rate of the agreements, the Company would pay approximately $4.4 million
to the counterparties. If the ten-year U.S. Treasury Notes are 10% higher than
the forward rate of the agreements, the Company would receive approximately $4.4
million from the counterparties. As of August 3, 1999, the market value of the
agreements is approximately $.9 million.
At June 30, 1999, the Company has put option agreements outstanding in
connection with the acquisition of the Wright Runstad Properties. On August 13,
1999, the WR Holders can require the Company to purchase all or a portion of the
3,435,688 Common Shares issued to them in the acquisition at a price equal to
$31.50 per Common Share. Prior to August 13, 1999, if the WR Holders sell all or
a portion of their Common Shares to a third party for a price less than
$29.10625, then the Company is obligated to pay to the WR Holders for each
Common Share sold at such lower price an amount equal to the difference between
$29.10625 and such lower price, not to exceed $3.00 per Common Share. Any
amounts paid by the Company as a result of such sales will be recorded as a
reduction in shareholders' equity. For put options exercised on August 13, 1999,
any amounts paid up to $29.10625 per Common Share would be reflected as a
reduction in shareholders' equity; the portion of any amounts paid in excess of
$29.10625 per Common Share (not to exceed $2.39375 per Common Share up to an
aggregate of approximately $8.2 million) would be expensed by the Company. The
Company will not incur any loss on this transaction if the put option is not
exercised.
As of August 5, 1999, the Company and the WR Holders have agreed, subject
to documentation, to amend the put option agreement to defer to August 13, 2000
(or to August 13, 2001 at the option of the WR Holders) the exercise date for
50% of the Common Shares affected by the put option agreement (a maximum
exposure to the Company of approximately $54.1 million when and if this put
option is exercised). The Company and the WR Holders also agreed to cancel the
put option on the remaining 50% of the affected Common Shares in exchange for
the Company's payment to the WR Holders of an amount equal to the excess, if
any, of (x) $31.50 over (y) the average price of a Common Share calculated over
the five trading days immediately prior to August 13, 1999, for each of the
remaining 1,717,844 Common Shares affected by the put option agreement.
As a result of this amendment, the Company's cash flows could decrease by
up to $5.2 million if, prior to August 13, 2000, the WR Holders sell all their
Common Shares to third parties. Cash flows of the Company may decrease by up to
approximately $54.1 million if the WR Holders exercise their rights under the
put option agreement on August 13, 2000 (or August 13, 2001, if extended at the
option of the WR Holders). There will be no impact on cash flows from this
transaction if the put option is not exercised.
Although the Company anticipates full execution of the documentation
confirming the aforesaid amendment on or before August 13, 1999, in the event
this does not occur, the maximum amount that the Company's cash flows would
decrease is approximately $108.2 million.
