ITEM 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                  CORNERSTONE PROPERTIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 2000

1.      NATURE OF COMPANY'S BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS

    Cornerstone Properties Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, "Cornerstone"
or the "Company") is a self-administered equity real estate investment trust
("REIT") which owns, through subsidiaries, interests in 82 Class A office
buildings comprising approximately 17 million rentable square feet, a shopping
center, a hotel and developable land (collectively, the "Properties," and each
interest, a "Property"). The Properties are primarily located in nine major
metropolitan areas throughout the United States: Atlanta, Boston, suburban
Chicago, Minneapolis, New York City, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Southern
California and Washington, D.C. and surrounding suburbs. The Company's strategy
is to own and develop Class A office properties in prime Central Business
District locations and major suburban office markets in U.S. metropolitan areas.
Class A office properties are generally considered to be those that have the
most favorable locations and physical attributes, command premium rents and
experience the highest tenant retention rates within their markets. The Company
also provides property management, leasing, development and tenant improvement
services to third parties on a fee basis through WCP Services, Inc., a taxable
corporate subsidiary in which the Company owns 95% of the equity, but only 1% of
the voting common stock. In January 1998, Cornerstone converted its corporate
structure into an umbrella limited partnership REIT ("UPREIT"). Under the UPREIT
structure, Cornerstone owns all of its properties and conducts all of its
business through Cornerstone Properties Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited
partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), of which the Company is the sole
general partner. As of March 31, 2000, Cornerstone owned approximately 87.1% of
the common units of partnership interest ("UPREIT Units") in the Operating
Partnership.

    On February 11, 2000, the Company announced that it had entered into an
agreement and plan of merger with Equity Office Properties Trust ("EOP") (the
"EOP Merger"). The merger agreement provides for a merger of Cornerstone with
and into EOP and a merger of the Operating Partnership with and into EOP
Operating Limited Partnership. In the mergers, holders of common stock of
Cornerstone and holders of Units in the Operating Partnership shall be entitled
to elect to receive, for each share or unit, as the case may be, either 0.7009
of a share of beneficial interest of EOP (or, in the case of the Cornerstone
Units, 0.7009 of a Class A Unit of EOP Operating Limited Partnership), or $18.00
per share (or per Unit, as the case may be) in cash, subject to pro ration as
provided in the merger agreement. Each share of 7% Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock, liquidation preference $16.50 per share, of Cornerstone shall
be converted into the right to receive $18.00, plus accrued and unpaid
dividends, in cash. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the merger is expected
to be tax-free to Cornerstone stockholders who are U.S. persons and who receive
EOP shares in the merger, except that any such stockholder who receives cash in
addition to EOP shares generally will recognize gain (but not loss) in an amount
equal to the amount of cash received in the merger, or, if less, the excess of
the fair market value of the EOP shares and cash received in the merger over the
stockholder's basis in the Cornerstone common stock exchanged in the merger. The
merger is also expected in most cases to be tax-free to Cornerstone stockholders
who are non-U.S. persons, although certain non-U.S. stockholders may be subject
to U.S. tax under the provisions of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax
Act. The mergers are subject to customary closing conditions, including the
approval of the merger by the shareholders of EOP and the stockholders of
Cornerstone and the approval of the partnership merger, to the extent necessary,
by the partners of EOP Operating Limited Partnership and the Operating
Partnership.

GENERAL

    The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein
have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In
the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring accruals, necessary to summarize fairly the unaudited results
of operations for the three month periods presented have been included. Results
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of
results which may be expected for any other interim periods or for the year as a
whole. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

    The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Cornerstone,
its wholly-owned qualified REIT subsidiary, the Operating Partnership and
controlled partnerships. The Company has consolidated the following partnerships
because it has a majority interest in the economic benefits and is or has the
right to become the managing general partner at its sole discretion: the
Operating Partnership; NWC Limited Partnership ("NWC"); Third and University
Limited Partnership ("Third Partnership"); Two Twenty Two Berkeley Venture ("222
Berkeley"); Five Hundred Boylston West Venture ("500 Boylston"); One Ninety One
Peachtree Associates ("191 Peachtree"); 191 Finance Associates, L.P. ("191
Finance"); Avenue Associates Limited Partnership ("Market Square"); and 120
Montgomery Associates, LLC ("120 Montgomery"). The Company's investments in the
One Post Property and WCP Services, Inc. are accounted for as equity investments
(see Note 4). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

    Included in Assets Held for Sale at March 31, 2000 are ten properties, which
are expected to be sold by the Company within the next year. The Properties are
valued at approximately $131.0 million, the lower of the carrying amount or the
fair value less estimated costs to sell. The Company has recorded a $0.8 million
write down on two of these assets which represents the difference between the
carrying value of these assets and the expected selling price less costs to
sell. The Company discontinues the recognition of depreciation on the assets
when the property is considered held for sale.

OTHER ASSETS

    The Company records costs incurred for potential investments as Other
Assets. Upon consummation of an investment, the Company capitalizes all such
costs as an adjustment to the purchase price and depreciates these costs over
the useful life of the asset. All such costs are expensed at the time it is
determined that a potential investment will not be consummated. In addition, the
Company adopted EITF 97-11 and in accordance therewith, the Company expenses all
internal acquisition costs.

    Included in Other Assets is the Company's $1.5 million equity investment in
Allied Riser Communications Corp. ("ARCC") and its $3.5 million equity
investment in Cypress Communications, Inc. ("CYCO"). ARCC and CYCO are providers
of voice, video and data telecommunications services. As part of the terms of
the agreements with both ARCC and CYCO, the Company received warrants for shares
of common stock by providing ARCC and CYCO access to certain of the Company's
buildings. As such, the value of the warrants received from ARCC and CYCO of
$5.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, is included in Other Assets. Per
the applicable requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS
115"), the Company recorded an unrealized gain on its total investment in ARCC
and CYCO of $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. A
corresponding adjustment was posted to a separate component of stockholder's
equity through Other Comprehensive Income.

MINORITY INTEREST

    Minority interest in Operating Partnership relates to the interest in the
Operating Partnership that the Company does not own, which as of March 31, 2000
amounted to approximately 12.9%. The Company allocates income to the minority
interest in the Operating Partnership based on the weighted-average percentage
ownership in the Operating Partnership through the year. Persons who contributed
assets to the Operating Partnership received UPREIT Units, shares of
Cornerstone's common stock (the "Common Stock"), cash or a combination thereof.
At the request of a unitholder, the Company will be obligated to redeem each
UPREIT Unit held by such unitholder for one share of Common Stock or, at the
option of the Company, cash equal to the fair market value of one share of
Common Stock at the time of redemption. Such redemptions will cause the
Company's percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership to increase. As of
March 31, 2000, the number of issued and outstanding UPREIT Units held by
unitholders other than the Company was 19,103,202 and as of such date, 1,235,425
UPREIT Units have been redeemed for shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one
basis and 110,848 UPREIT Units have been redeemed for cash.

    Minority interest in joint ventures represents the minority partner's or
venturer's capital account balances in NWC, Third Partnership, 222 Berkeley, 500
Boylston, 191 Peachtree, 191 Finance, Market Square and 120 Montgomery. Debit
balances in certain of these capital accounts originated through special cash
distributions in excess of the partner's share of income in accordance with
certain provisions of the respective partnership and joint venture agreements.
Realizability of the debit balances is continually monitored by calculating pro
forma sales proceeds under the respective agreements.

TREASURY STOCK

    As of March 31, 2000, the Company reacquired 358,233 shares of Common Stock,
which was accounted for using the cost method. Of these shares, 347,400 shares
were acquired under the Repurchase Program (see Note 8).

INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS

    The Company uses interest rate swaps to effectively fix the interest rates
on certain floating-rate debt. Specific types of loans and amounts that are
hedged are determined based on prevailing market conditions and the current
shape of the yield curve. The specific terms and notional amount of the swaps
are determined based on management's assessment of future interest rates, as
well as short-term strategic initiatives.

    During 1999, the Company entered into and subsequently amended swap
agreements that effectively fixed the rate on $250.0 million of the amount
outstanding on the Company's Revolving Credit Facility at 5.41% through the
maturity of the swaps in December 2000. The swaps have been designated as "cash
flow hedges" within the meaning defined in SFAS 133 (as defined hereinafter). At
March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of
$549,000 and an unrealized gain of $5,513,000, respectively in Other Assets with
a corresponding adjustment posted to a separate component of stockholder's
equity through Other Comprehensive Income as defined in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130. Based on the expiration of these instruments, the
unrealized gain is expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next
twelve months. These swaps are considered hedges for federal income tax
purposes.

ESTIMATES AND RISKS

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") 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 period. The most significant risks, estimates and assumptions are
related to the recoverability and depreciable lives of investment property, the
recoverability of deferred tenant receivables and the qualification of the
Company as a REIT. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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

(A) Unless noted below, cash flow and residual proceeds will be distributed to
    Cornerstone according to its percentage interest.

(B) On December 31, 1997, the Company purchased the second mortgage on Sixty
    State Street. The mortgage is a cash flow mortgage through which all the
    economic benefits/risks (subject to the first mortgage) inure to the
    Company. The Company controls all major decisions regarding management and
    leasing. The total purchase price for the second

    mortgage was $131.5 million and is consolidated in buildings due to the
    above factors. The $78.4 million first mortgage on the Property was
    originally recorded by the Company as an $89.6 million liability due to its
    above-market interest rate.

    The second mortgage, which the Company holds, is collateralized only by the
    improvements on Sixty State Street. Title to the improvements is owned by
    Sixty State Street Trust, the ground lessee under a ground lease that
    expires on December 28, 2067. The lease payments on the ground lease are
    $398,896 per annum throughout the term.

(C) On October 27, 1997, the Company acquired interests in nine Class A office
    properties comprising approximately 4.5 million rentable square feet in
    Alexandria, Virginia (3 properties), Atlanta (2 properties), Boston (2
    properties), Charlotte and Washington, D.C., as well as an undeveloped
    parcel of land in Chicago (collectively, "the DIHC Portfolio"). The Company
    acquired the DIHC Portfolio for a purchase price of approximately $1.06
    billion, consisting of approximately 34.2 million shares of Common Stock
    valued and recorded at $16.00 per share, approximately $260.0 million in
    cash and $250.0 million in promissory notes. The cash portion of the
    acquisition was financed with proceeds from the Company's initial public
    offering in April 1997 and $54.0 million from its Revolving Credit Facility.
    The Company has since sold the asset in Charlotte as well as the undeveloped
    parcel of land in Chicago.

(D) On April 28, 1998, the Company purchased One Memorial Drive in Cambridge,
    Massachusetts. The total purchase price for the Property was approximately
    $112.5 million, approximately $23.5 million of which was paid in cash,
    approximately $29.0 million of which was paid in UPREIT Units valued at
    $17.50 per unit and approximately $60.0 million of which was paid in Common
    Stock valued at $17.50 per share.

(E) Property was acquired as a result of the Wilson Acquisition in December
    1998. After receiving stockholder approval on December 14, 1998, the Company
    acquired substantially all of the properties and real estate operations of
    William Wilson & Associates and related entities ("WW&A") (the "Wilson
    Acquisition"). As part of the Wilson Acquisition, the Company acquired
    interests in 69 Class A office Properties, comprising approximately 9.2
    million rentable square feet primarily in the San Francisco Bay Area and in
    Southern California, a shopping center consisting of approximately 252,000
    rentable square feet in Santa Clara, California, a hotel consisting of
    94,500 square feet in Santa Clara, California and 12.8 acres of developable
    land in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Company has since sold thirteen
    assets comprising approximately 1.4 million square feet.

    The Company acquired WW&A for a purchase price of approximately $1.8
    billion, consisting of approximately 14.9 million shares of Common Stock
    valued at $17.25 per share (recorded at $16.25 per share for GAAP purposes),
    approximately 16.2 million UPREIT Units valued at $17.25 per unit (recorded
    at $16.25 per unit for GAAP purposes), approximately $465.0 million in cash
    and the assumption of approximately $760.0 million of property and
    construction related debt (recorded at $773.7 million for GAAP purposes).
    The cash portion of the transaction was financed primarily from the
    Company's Revolving Credit Facility and the sale of $200.0 million of Common
    Stock to PGGM, an approximate 33.6% stockholder prior to the Wilson
    Acquisition, priced at $17.25 per share.

(F) While the Company's stated interest in the partnership that owns 191
    Peachtree Street is 80.0%, its economic interest is significantly larger
    since it has acquired the first mortgage note on the Property in the amount
    of $145.0 million, which earns interest at 9.375% and will receive a
    priority distribution on its acquired capital base. In 1999, the partner in
    the transaction, CH Associates, Ltd., received an annual Incentive
    Distribution (as defined) of $250,000, with the Company receiving the
    remainder of the cash flow of the Property. CH Associates, Ltd. received
    this distrbution through February 28, 2000.

    The partnership that owns 191 Peachtree Street leases a portion of the land
    upon which the project is located pursuant to a ground lease agreement. The
    agreement requires annual payments of $45,000 through January 31, 2002 and
    $75,000 through January 31, 2008. Thereafter, the annual rent increases
    $2,500 per year until the expiration date of January 31, 2087. The
    partnership records ground rental expense relating to this agreement on a
    straight-line basis. The ground lease is renewable for an additional 99
    years.

(G) While the Company's stated interest in the partnership that owns Washington
    Mutual Tower is 50.0%, its economic interest in the Property is
    significantly larger due to priority distributions it receives on its
    invested capital base. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the
    Company received 100% of the cash distributions from the partnership that
    owns Washington Mutual Tower.

(H) Pruneyard Place construction was completed and occupied on April 1, 1999.
    The building was entirely pre-leased.

(I) The Pruneyard Inn is a three-story hotel. An expansion was completed in May
    1999, increasing the number of rooms from 118 to 172.

(J) On June 3, 1998, the Company purchased 201 California Street and Wilshire
    Palisades. The total purchase price for the Properties was approximately
    $121.5 million, approximately $29.5 million of which was paid in cash,
    approximately $29.1 million of which was paid in UPREIT Units valued at
    $17.50 per unit and approximately $62.9 million of assumed debt (recorded at
    $64.6 million for GAAP purposes).

(K) While the Company's stated interest in the partnership that owns Norwest
    Center is 50.0%, its economic interest in the Property is significantly
    larger due to priority distributions it receives on its invested capital
    base. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company's share of
    earnings and cash distributions from the partnership that owns Norwest
    Center was 73.5%.

(L) During 1998, through a series of transactions, the Company acquired
    partnership interests with a stated interest of approximately 70.0% in the
    partnerships that own Market Square. The Company's economic interest is
    significantly larger since it has acquired the first mortgage note on the
    Property in the amount of $181.0 million which earns interest at 9.75% and
    will receive a priority distribution on its acquired capital base. In
    addition, the Company acquired a "buffer loan", with accrued principal and
    interest of $49.0 million at purchase, which accrues interest at a rate of
    Prime plus 1.25% and is payable from cash flow, refinancing or sales
    proceeds in excess of the first mortgage. During the three months ended
    March 31, 2000, the Company received 100% of the cash flow from the
    Property. On November 14, 1998, the Company purchased an additional interest
    in the partnerships that own Market Square which enabled it to gain
    sufficient control in order to consolidate the investment.

(M) On January 28, 1998, the Company purchased Corporate 500 Centre in
    Deerfield, Illinois. This Property consists of four Class A office buildings
    with approximately 679,000 rentable square feet. The consideration paid for
    this Property was approximately $135.0 million in cash and approximately
    $15.0 million in UPREIT Units valued at $18.50 per unit, for a total
    purchase price of approximately $150.0 million. The Company financed a
    portion of the purchase price with an $80.0 million mortgage loan from
    Bankers Trust Company; this mortgage was subsequently refinanced in October
    1998.

(N) Janss Court is a seven-story Class A mixed-use building containing
    approximately 126,000 square feet. In addition to approximately 93,000
    square feet of retail and office space, Janss Court offers 32 apartments for
    a total of 33,000 rentable square feet of residential space.

(O) The Property is subject to a ground lease agreement. The agreement requires
    annual payments of $115,000 through March 31, 2002 and $121,000 from April
    1, 2002 through March 31, 2007. The lease payment increases every ten years
    thereafter according to a formula based on the Consumer Price Index. The
    ground lease expires on March 31, 2041.

(P) On January 5, 1998, the Company purchased for approximately $5.5 million,
    the remaining participation rights in the cash flow and residual value of
    Tower 56 from the former participants for 307,692 shares of Common Stock. As
    a result, all of the cash flow and the residual value of Tower 56 inures to
    the Company.

(Q) On January 21, 2000, the Company purchased 400 Capitol Mall in Sacramento,
    California. This Property contains approximately 502,000 rentable square
    feet. The total purchase price for the Property was approximately $130.0
    million, consisting of approximately $128.0 million in cash and
    approximately $2.0 million of which was paid in UPREIT Units valued at
    $17.25 per unit. Of the cash paid, $104.8 million was Section 1031 exchange
    funds from the sale of One Norwest Center in Denver, Colorado during 1999.

(R) Rentable square feet includes an adjustment for the interest of a joint
    venture or minority partner. Calculations are based on the partners'


<PAGE>   11


    percentage interest in the cash flows of the Property.

    During the first three months of 2000, the Company sold two properties for
gross proceeds of $27,225,000 resulting in a net gain of $2,026,306.

    During 1999, the Company sold 13 properties for gross proceeds of
$495,705,000 resulting in a net gain of $131,033,847.

3.   RESTRICTED CASH

    Restricted cash includes security deposits for some of the Company's office
properties and escrow and reserve funds for real estate taxes, property
insurance, capital improvements, tenant improvements and leasing costs. These
funds were established pursuant to certain mortgage and construction financing
arrangements.

    The proceeds from the sales of certain properties during 1999 totaling
approximately $61.4 million, are included in restricted cash pursuant to the
terms of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
"Exchange of property held for productive use or investment."

4.   INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES

    Investment in joint ventures represents the Company's two investments that
are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The first investment is
the Company's 50.0% interest in a co-tenancy with Crocker Plaza Company for One
Post, a 38-story, Class A office tower in San Francisco, California. The Company
and Crocker co-manage and lease the Property. The second equity investment is
the Company's interest in WCP Services, Inc. The Company owns 1% of the voting
common stock and 100% of the non-voting common stock of WCP Services, Inc. The
remaining shares of voting common stock of WCP Services, Inc. are owned by
certain executive officers of the Company. The Company's ownership of voting and
nonvoting common stock together represents a 95% economic interest in the
earnings of WCP Services, Inc. WCP Services, Inc. provides property management,
development and tenant construction supervision services to third parties. WCP
Services, Inc. also provides tenant construction supervision services to tenants
in Properties owned by Cornerstone.

5.   LONG-TERM DEBT

    The following table sets forth certain information regarding the
consolidated debt obligations of the Company as of March 31, 2000, including
mortgage obligations relating to the Properties. All of this debt, with the
exception of the Convertible Promissory Note due 2001, is nonrecourse to the
Company. However, notwithstanding the nonrecourse indebtedness, the lender may
have the right to recover deficiencies from the Company in certain
circumstances, including fraud, misappropriation of funds and environmental
liabilities (Dollar amounts in thousands).

(A) The interest rate is the stated interest rate (for Cornerstone originated
    debt) or the mark to market rate at the time of acquisition (for debt
    assumed as part of an acquisition).

(B) The three notes arising from the acquisition of several properties in the
    DIHC Portfolio are cross-collateralized, having the effect of forming a
    "collateral pool" for the underlying notes.

(C) The collateral for this loan is a pledge of the $181.0 million first
    mortgage loan on Market Square that the Company purchased from PGGM.

(D) The six notes arising from the restructuring of certain debt with Prudential
    Insurance Company of America and Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company
    are cross-collateralized, having the effect of forming a "collateral pool"
    for the underlying notes.

(E) During October 1999 the Company restructured approximately $219.9 million of
    individual property-related debt with Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
    Company. The restructuring involved retiring the individual property-related
    debt and creating a single $275.0 million term loan which is
    cross-collateralized by six of the original seven properties. The loan has a
    ten year term and bears interest at 7.23%. Upon closing the loan, the lien
    on 10 Almaden was released and the property was added to Cornerstone's
    unencumbered pool.

(F) Weighted-average interest rate and maturity of the Company's long-term debt.

(G) On December 15, 1999, through an extension and modification agreement, the
    maturity date of the $58.0 million variable rate debt held on Seaport Centre
    was extended from December 31, 1999 to December 31, 2000. At this time, the
    note changed from interest only to a 25 year amortizing loan.

(H) The lender, Hines Colorado Limited, has the right to convert the note into
    Common Stock at a conversion price of $14.30 per share. At maturity, the
    Company is entitled to repay the principal of the note with Common Stock
    priced at the lesser of $14.30 per share or the then existing share price.

(I) Lesser of 30-day LIBOR plus 0.5% or 8.11%.

(J) On February 8, 2000, this note was prepaid with proceeds from the Revolving
    Credit Facility. This note had an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.50% and a
    maturity of July 2000.

        The combined aggregate amount of maturities for all long-term borrowings
for 2000 through 2004 are $122,819,000, $12,926,000, $110,246,000, $15,995,000
and $86,429,000, respectively.

        Since most of the long-term debt is property-related, there are
restrictive covenants that limit the total amount of indebtedness that can be
placed on individual properties.

6.       CREDIT FACILITY

    The Company has a $550.0 million Revolving Credit Facility with a syndicate
of 17 banks led by Deutsche Bank, The Chase Manhattan Bank and Bank of America
for acquisitions and general working capital purposes as well as the issuance of

letters of credit (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The interest rate on the
facility depends on the Company's ratio of total debt to asset value (as
defined) at the time of borrowing and will be at a spread of 1.10% to 1.40% over
the applicable LIBOR or Prime Rate at the borrower's option. The letters of
credit will be priced at the applicable Eurodollar credit spread. The Revolving
Credit Facility expires on November 3, 2001. As of March 31, 2000, $355.1
million of the facility was outstanding at a rate of approximately 7.5%. Of this
amount, approximately $250.0 million is fixed with interest rate swaps, which
effectively fix the rate at 5.41% through the expiration of the swaps in
December 2000. The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain restrictive
covenants including: (i) a limitation on the Company's dividend to 90.0% of
funds from operations and 110.0% of funds available for distribution, both as
defined in the agreement; (ii) the percentage of total liabilities to total
property asset value (as defined) cannot exceed 55.0%; (iii) the ratio of
adjusted EBITDA to interest expense may not be less than 2.25 to 1.00; (iv) the
fixed charge coverage ratio may not be less than 1.75 to 1.00; and (v) the ratio
of total property asset value (as defined) to secured indebtedness may not be
less than 2.22 to 1.00. The above terms reflect an amendment to the Revolving
Credit Facility that occurred during 1999. The amendment allowed the Company to
temporarily increase its leverage from 55.0% to 60.0% in (ii) above for a short
period, which has since expired. The Company also increased its ability to enter
into mortgage debt under (v) above by decreasing the required ratio from 2.5 to
1.00 to 2.22 to 1.00.

7.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to tenant and
property related claims and other litigation. It is the opinion of management,
after consultation with outside counsel, that the resolution of these claims
will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of
operations or cash flows of the Company.

    In April 1998, the Company entered into a contract to acquire from the
developer the 928,857 square-foot Piper Jaffray building under construction in
Minneapolis. In November 1999, this contract was amended in connection with a
350,000 square-foot expansion lease with a major tenant of the building. The
contract was amended to provide for a purchase price equal to the costs incurred
in construction and development plus a fixed amount to the developer plus an
additional amount based on the leasing of the building. In addition, at the
Company's election, the closing of the acquisition may occur prior to the
completion of the building, but the developer will remain obligated to complete
the project. Through March 31, 2000, approximately $121.1 million has been spent
on the construction. The project is scheduled to be completed in the year 2000
and is approximately 84.0% pre-leased.

8.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

    The 7% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into Common
Stock at $16.50 per share at any time after August 4, 2000.

    On February 6, 1998, Cornerstone completed a secondary public offering of
14,375,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $18.25 per share. The shares
were placed in the U.S. through a syndicate of seven investment banks led by
Merrill Lynch & Co. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately $247.9
million (approximately $262.3 million gross proceeds less an underwriting
discount of approximately $13.7 million and expenses of approximately $0.7
million). The net proceeds were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the
Revolving Credit Facility and for working capital purposes.

    On December 9, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock
repurchase program ("Repurchase Program") under which the Company was permitted
to purchase up to $100.0 million of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. The
Company was to make periodic purchases on or prior to December 31, 2000 using
available working capital on the open market at prevailing prices or in
privately negotiated transactions. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had
repurchased 347,400 shares of its outstanding Common Stock for an aggregate cost
of approximately $4.9 million. There were no repurchases made from January 1,
2000 through the February 11, 2000 when the Repurchase Program was discontinued
as a result of the merger with EOP.
