                WINTHROP CALIFORNIA INVESTORS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 1997

1.        ORGANIZATION

          Winthrop California Investors Limited Partnership (the "Partnership")
          was originally organized on January 24, 1985 under the Maryland
          Uniform Limited Partnership Act and was reorganized on October 16,
          1985 as a Delaware Limited Partnership, to own a 99% General
          Partnership interest in Crow Winthrop Operating Partnership, a
          Maryland General Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") as well as
          a 25% Limited Partnership interest in Crow Winthrop Development
          Limited Partnership, a Maryland Limited Partnership (the "Development
          Partnership").

          The Partnership subsequently acquired in March 1992 a 99% limited
          partnership interest in Winthrop California Management Limited
          Partnership, a Maryland limited partnership (the "Management
          Partnership").

          On July 30, 1985 (the "Acquisition Date"), the Operating Partnership
          acquired the Fluor Corporation World Headquarters Facility (the
          "Headquarters Facility") in Irvine, California from Fluor Corporation
          ("Fluor") consisting of approximately 1,606,000 rentable square feet,
          the directly underlying land of approximately 14.8 acres and all
          related rights and easements.

          As of the same date, the Development Partnership acquired 122.2 acres
          of undeveloped land surrounding the Headquarters Facility (the "Excess
          Land"-together with the Headquarters Facility, the "Property).

          The Properties were acquired for a total price of $337,000,000 (the
          "Purchase Price") consisting of $302,000,000 paid on the Acquisition
          Date (the "Fixed Purchase Price") and $35,000,000 paid in August 1986
          (the "Contingent Purchase Price") when certain development rights were
          approved for the Development Partnership.

          The General Partners of the Partnership are Winthrop Financial
          Associates ("WFA") and Three Winthrop Properties, Inc. ("Three
          Winthrop"). The General Partners made capital contributions totaling
          $101 for a 2.0% interest in the operating profits and losses of the
          Partnership.

2.        SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
          accounts of the Partnership, the Operating Partnership and the
          Management Partnership. The Partnership is the 99% General Partner of
          the Operating Partnership and the 99% Limited Partner of the
          Management Partnership. The remaining 1% ownership interest in the
          Operating Partnership is held by an unaffiliated entity (Crow Irvine 

          #2) and the remaining 1% ownership interest in the Management
          Partnership is held by an affiliate of the Partnership (First Winthrop
          Properties, Inc.). The ownership interests of these entities have been
          included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance
          sheets. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
          been eliminated in consolidation.

          The Partnership owns a 25% Limited Partnership interest in the
          Development Partnership, which is accounted for under the equity
          method.

          The consolidated financial statements were prepared on the accrual
          basis of accounting and reflect the Partnership's results of
          operations for an interim period, which may not necessarily be
          indicative of the results of operations for the year ending December
          31, 1997. All adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation
          of results of operations for an interim period have been made in the
          accompanying consolidated financial statements. These consolidated
          financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
          statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual
          Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 1996.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                June 30, 1997

2.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an
ongoing concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Partnership
did not have the financial resources to fund the principal amount of
$197,712,000 due under the mortgage loan upon maturity. (See Note Below). This
matter raises substantial doubt as to the Partnership's ability to continue as a
going concern for a reasonable period of time.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to
the recoverability of recorded asset amounts or the amounts of liabilities that
might be necessary should the Partnership be unable to continue as a going
concern. The Partnership's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its
ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely
basis and obtain financing as may be required.

Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 1997
presentation.

<PAGE>

3.       RELATED PARTIES

The Partnership is required to pay to WFA an asset management fee of $750,000

per year. From 1990 through June 1996, this fee was accrued and unpaid by the
Partnership. During the third quarter of 1996, the Partnership paid to WFA
$4,875,000 in asset management fees which represented the asset management fees
due for the period from January 1990 through June 1996. The Partnership has
continued to pay this asset management fee and has paid in this year $750,000
representing the fee due for July 1, 1996 to June 30, 1997. In addition, the
Partnership has provided overhead reimbursement to an affiliate of the general
partner in the amount of $13,662 and $36,250 for the six months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996.

4.      PLAN OF REORGANIZATION OF OPERATING PARTNERSHIP

The Operating Partnership filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code on March 28, 1997. Pursuant to the terms of the Operating
Partnership's Third Amended Plan of Reorganization dated July 23, 1997, the 
Mortgage Lender will reduce the Operating Partnership's mortgage obligation to
$104.5 million through forgiveness of indebtedness. Based upon this proposed
plan the Operating Partnership has neither paid nor accrued interest expense
subsequent to the date of the bankruptcy filing. The debt will be evidenced by
two new notes in the principal amounts of $100 million and $4.5 million (the
Intermediate Debt). The Operating Partnership will then contribute $500,000 in
cash, and all of it's other assets and liabilities (including Headquarters
Facility subject to the Intermediate Debt) to a limited liability corporation
(LLC) formed for this purpose. In return, the Operating Partnership will receive
a 10% interest in the LLC.

A real estate investment trust (REIT), will be formed to acquire a 90% interest
in the LLC, the other members of which will be the existing mortgage
noteholders, in exchange for a capital contribution consisting of the $4,500,000
intermediate debt note.  The remaining $100 million balance of the intermediate
debt will be satisfied by the LLC issuing to the REIT $100 million in secured
debentures, which will be divided into two classes. Class A Notes in principal
amount of $80 million will bear interest at a floating annual rate of 2.25%
above the interest rate on U.S. Treasury Bonds or Notes with a maturity date
closest to the Class A Notes, and be payable monthly in interest only through
March 28, 1999. Thereafter, monthly payment of interest and principal will be
based on a 25-year amortization schedule. Through March 28, 1998, the interest
may be made by issuing additional Class A Notes. Class B Notes in the principal
amount of $20 million will bear interest at a floating annual rate of 3.0% above
the interest rate on U.S. Treasury Bonds or Notes with a maturity date closest
to the Class B Notes, and be payable monthly in interest only through March 28,
2000.  Thereafter, monthly payments of interest and principal will be based on a
25-year amortization schedule. Through March 28, 2001, the interest may be made
by issuing additional Class B Notes. Both Class A and B Notes mature March 28,
2002.

The LLC will terminate upon the earlier of the sale or disposition of the
Headquarters Facility or September 28, 2002, although its term may be extended
by the members.

The Operating Partnership will have the right to exchange its 10% interest in
the LLC for a 10% interest in the REIT. It will also pledge its interest in the
LLC as collateral for the payment in full of all amounts evidenced by the Class
A and Class B Notes.


The Operating Partnership will also receive certain Property Appreciation
Rights, which will be exercisable through March 27, 2002. The Operating
Partnership will have the right to purchase an equity interest in the REIT
representing 10% of the equity value of the LLC (subject to dilution) for
$10,888,889. The Operating Partnership will also have the right to purchase an
equity interest in the REIT representing 55% of the equity value of the LLC
(subject to dilution) for $152,777,778. The exercise of the rights is subject to
the fair market value of the LLC equaling or exceeding $98 million and $125
million, respectively. The REIT has the right to substitute cash payments in
lieu of REIT shares.

In return for its services in connection with assistance in negotiating the
reorganization plan, the LLC will pay a fee of $500,000 to the Partnership.

The above terms of the proposed plan of reorganization are subject to change and
are also subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court and the Partnership's
limited partners.

                             FORM 10-Q JUNE 30, 1997

ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership's assets consist of (i) a 99% general partnership interest in
Crow Winthrop Operating Partnership, a Maryland general partnership (the
"Operating Partnership") which owns a 1.6 million square foot office facility
known as the Fluor Corporation World Headquarters Facility in Irvine (Orange
County), California (the "Headquarters Facility"), (ii) a 25% limited
partnership interest in Crow Winthrop Development Limited Partnership, a
Maryland limited partnership (the "Development Partnership") which owns in
excess of 120 acres of land surrounding the Headquarters Facility (the "Excess
Land") and (iii) a 99% limited partnership interest in Winthrop California
Management Limited Partnership, a Maryland limited partnership ("WC
Management").

The Partnership's ability to continue in existence is contingent on (i) the
ability of the Operating Partnership to continue in existence, and in particular
to restructure the mortgage loan encumbering the Headquarters Facility, and to
generate revenue allocable to the Partnership either as a result of
distributions from WC Management (derived from the management of the Operating
Partnership's properties) and/or distributions from operations of the Operating
Partnership and (ii), to a lesser extent, the ability of the Development
Partnership to continue in existence and to generate revenue to the Partnership
as a result of distributions from the Development Partnership.

To date the annual asset management fee due Winthrop Financial Associates
("WFA") and the monies to pay general and administrative expenses have been
funded by the Partnership's reserves and cash flow from WC Management.

Commencing in 1990, and through the second quarter of 1996, however, WFA had not
been paid its annual asset management fee. As of June 30, 1996, $4,875,000 of
this fee was payable to WFA. This deferred fee was paid in the third quarter of
1996 and has been paid currently to the second quarter of 1997. To the extent
there are no cash distributions from the Operating Partnership or the
Development Partnership, WFA may permit the payment of its asset management fee
to be deferred. There can be no assurance, however, that the deferral of this
fee will be permitted. Any deferred asset management fees will be paid as a
priority from available sources of cash prior to any future distributions to
partners of the Partnership if and when they are paid.

At March 31, 1997, the balance of the Operating Partnership's reserve account
was transferred to a tenant improvement escrow account along with operating
funds of $1,467,000. This investment securities account had a balance of
$2,646,000 at June 30, 1997.

The Partnership had $10,363,000 of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1997,
as compared to $5,335,000 at December 31, 1996. This increase is attributable to
$8,108,000 of net cash provided by operating activities which was partially
offset by $878,000 of net cash used for reorganization items and $2,202,000 of
net cash used by investing activities. The significant increase in net cash
provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996 is primarily attributable to the
cessation of interest payments on the mortgage loan encumbering the Headquarters
Facility during the six months ended June 30, 1997. Net cash from reorganization
items consist primarily of professional fees paid to third parties in
connection with the Operating Partnership's Chapter 11 filing. Cash used in
investing activities consists of $845,000 of building improvements and the
transfer of $1,357,000 to the reserve account at March 31, 1997.

At this time, it appears that the original investment objective of capital
growth from the inception of the Partnership will not be attained and that the
Limited Partners will not receive a return of their invested capital. The extent
to which invested capital is refunded to Limited Partners is dependent upon the
performance of the properties and the market in which they are located. The
ability to hold and operate the Headquarters Facility is dependent upon the 
confirmation of the Plan as defined below.

<PAGE>

Bankruptcy of the Operating Partnership

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED WORKOUT OF THE OPERATING
PARTNERSHIP'S DEFAULT UNDER ITS EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS IS BASED ON THE CURRENT
STRUCTURE OF THE NEGOTIATED PLAN OF REORGANIZATION OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP.
THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE, HOWEVER, THAT THE PLAN ULTIMATELY APPROVED, IF ANY,
WILL BE ON THE SAME TERMS AND CONDITIONS AS THE CURRENT PLAN. LIMITED PARTNERS
SHOULD BE AWARE, HOWEVER, THAT PRIOR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN AS
CURRENTLY PROPOSED, THE CONSENT OF LIMITED PARTNERS IS BEING SOUGHT PURSUANT TO
THE STATEMENT FURNISHED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOLICITATION OF CONSENTS, DATED
JULY 31, 1997, AS SUPPLEMENTED BY SUPPLEMENT NO. 1 THERETO, DATED AUGUST 7,
1997.

The Operating Partnership filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the

United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") on March 28, 1997. As a
condition to the transfer of the Headquarters Facility as contemplated by the
Operating Partnership's Third Amended Plan of Reorganization dated July 23, 1997
(the "Plan"), the requisite consent of the Limited Partners is required with
respect to the Proposal.

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Operating Partnership will contribute all
of its assets and liabilities, including $500,000 of unencumbered cash and all
of its right, title and interest in the Headquarters Facility, to a newly formed
Delaware limited liability company to be known as Jamboree LLC. In exchange for
transferring all of its assets and liabilities to Jamboree LLC, the Operating
Partnership will receive an initial 10% ownership interest in Jamboree LLC. In
addition, the Partnership will receive a restructuring fee of $500,000 in
connection with the Plan. Immediately prior to the transfer by the Operating
Partnership of its assets and liabilities to Jamboree LLC, the Existing Secured
Note will be satisfied by (i) the discharge of an amount of the existing debt
sufficient to reduce the outstanding balance thereof to $104.5 million
(approximately $93 million plus accrued interest thereon) and (ii) the issuance
by the Operating Partnership of two intermediate notes, one in the original
principal amount of $4.5 million (the "First Intermediate Note") and the second
in the original principal amount of $100 million (the "Second Intermediate
Note"), which will be secured by all of the assets of the Operating Partnership.
Simultaneous with the contribution by the Operating Partnership of all of its
assets and liabilities to Jamboree LLC, the Certificateholders will contribute
the First Intermediate Note to Jamboree Office REIT (a newly formed real estate
investment trust, the initial stockholders of which will be the
Certificateholders) and Jamboree Office REIT will, in turn, contribute the First
Intermediate Note to Jamboree LLC in exchange for the remaining 90% interest in
Jamboree LLC. Jamboree LLC will satisfy the Second Intermediate Note by issuing
the New Notes (as defined below) in the original principal amount of $100
million to the Certificateholders.

Jamboree LLC will be a newly formed limited liability company organized under
the laws of the State of Delaware. Jamboree LLC will terminate on the earlier to
occur of (i) one year after the sale or transfer by Jamboree LLC of the
Headquarters Facility, provided that the Jamboree LLC Board (as defined below)
does not vote to continue the company, (ii) September 28, 2002 (iii) the 
consent of the members of Jamboree LLC or (iv) as required by applicable law.
Jamboree LLC will be governed by a five person board of member representatives
(the "Jamboree LLC Board"). The initial five members will be designated one by
the Operating Partnership and four by Jamboree Office REIT. A majority of the
members of the Jamboree LLC Board must approve (i) all operating decisions not
designated as requiring unanimous approval in Jamboree LLC's Limited Liability
Company Agreement (the "LLC Agreement") and (ii) termination for cause of the
Management Agreement (as hereinafter defined). Unanimous approval of the
Jamboree LLC Board will be required for (i) the commencement of a voluntary case
under the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) termination of the Management Agreement without
cause, (iii) sale of all or any material portion of the Headquarters Facility
prior to the date which is three years after the effective date of the Plan,
(iv) except as otherwise provided in the LLC Agreement, issuance of additional
units representing membership interests (v) the authorization of business
activities other than the ownership and operation of the Headquarters Facility
within three years of the Effective Date, (vi) following the sale of the
Headquarters Facility, authorize the continued existence of Jamboree LLC for

more than one year, and (vii) certain other matters as provided in the LLC
Agreement. See "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences" below for information
with respect to the tax effect of the Proposal.

<PAGE>

In addition, the Operating Partnership will have the right (the "Exchange
Right") to exchange its interest in Jamboree LLC at any time on or after one
year from the effective date of the Plan through March 27, 2002 for shares in
Jamboree Office REIT ("Shares"); provided, however, such one year lock-out
period shall be waived if, among other things (i) Jamboree Office REIT shall (a)
file a registration statement registering Shares, (b) issue, or provide rights
to subscribe for, additional Shares to its shareholders, (c) effect a capital
reorganization or reclassification, (d) sell all or substantially all or its
assets or (e) dissolve or liquidate, or (ii) Jamboree LLC shall sell all or
substantially all of its assets. In general, the Operating Partnership may
exchange its interest in Jamboree LLC for a fixed number of Shares (on a
one-for-one basis) in Jamboree Office REIT. All Shares received by the Operating
Partnership either upon the exchange of its interest in Jamboree LLC or as
payment for the Property Appreciation Right (as defined below) will be
"Registerable Securities" pursuant to the provisions of the Property
Appreciation and Exchange Right. In general, upon the occurrence of certain
events, the Operating Partnership can request that Jamboree Office REIT prepare
a registration statement to effect the registration of the shares held by the
Operating Partnership in Jamboree Office REIT.

Furthermore, the Operating Partnership also will have the right to receive
additional equity interests or cash payments from Jamboree Office REIT (the
"Property Appreciation Rights"). The Property Appreciation Rights will be
exercisable, if at all, at any time until the close of business on March 27,
2002. In general, the Property Appreciation Rights entitle the Operating
Partnership to purchase (i) Shares representing 10% of the equity value of
Jamboree LLC (subject to dilution) for a purchase price of $10,888,888.89 in the
aggregate, if the fair market value of Jamboree LLC equals or exceeds $98
million and (ii) Shares representing 55% of the equity value of Jamboree LLC
(subject to dilution) for a purchase price of $152,777,777.78 in the aggregate,
if the fair market value of Jamboree LLC equals or exceeds $125 million.
Alternatively, the Operating Partnership can purchase such additional Shares on
a "cashless basis" by surrendering a portion of the Shares to be purchased in
payment of the applicable purchase price. If the Operating Partnership elects to
exercise either of the property appreciation rights, Jamboree Office REIT has
the option to deliver to the Operating Partnership in lieu of the issuance of
Shares a cash payment equal to the difference between the then current market
value of the Shares which would otherwise be issued and the exercise price for
such Shares.

The fair market value of the Shares for the purpose of the Property Appreciation
Right will be determined by an appraisal obtained by Jamboree Office REIT. If
the Operating Partnership disputes the appraisal obtained by Jamboree Office
REIT, it may obtain a second appraisal. If the appraisals differ by less than
10% then the value will be deemed to be the average of the two determinations.
If the appraisals differ by 10% or more, then the two appraisers will select a
third appraiser to perform a third appraisal, and the value will be deemed to be
the value that constitutes the mid-point of the range between the two

determinations that are closest in amount.

To satisfy the Second Intermediate Note, Jamboree LLC will issue promissory
notes (the "New Notes") having an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 to
the Certificateholders. The New Notes will be divided into two tranches, the
Class A and Class B Notes. The Class A Tranche will have an initial principal
balance of $80,000,000 bear interest at 2.25% above the interest rate on United
States Treasury Bonds or Notes with a maturity date closest to the Class A Notes
and be payable in interest only for the first 36 months (provided, however, that
payments of interest for the 12 month period may be made by issuing additional
Class A Notes) and thereafter, monthly payments of interest and principal based
on a 25-year amortization schedule. The Class B Tranche will have an initial
principal balance of $20,000,000, bear interest at 3.0% above interest rate on
United States Treasury Bonds or Notes with a maturity date closest to the Class
B Notes and be payable in interest only for the first 36 months (provided,
however, that payments of interest for the first 48 months may be made by
issuing additional Class B Notes) and thereafter, monthly payments of interest
and principal based on a 25-year amortization schedule.

As security for the New Notes, among other things, Jamboree LLC will grant the
Certificateholders a security interest on the Headquarters Facility and the
Operating Partnership will execute a Pledge and Security Agreement pursuant to
which the Operating Partnership will pledge its interest in Jamboree LLC to the
Class A Noteholders and the Class B Noteholders as collateral for the payment in
full of all amounts evidenced by the New Notes. If Jamboree LLC were to default
on its obligations under the New Notes, the Class A Noteholders and the Class B
Noteholders will have the right to foreclose on the Partnership's interest in
Jamboree LLC. If this were to occur, the Partnership would lose its entire
ownership interest in the Headquarters Facility. There can be no assurance that
the Headquarters Facility will be able to generate sufficient cash flow to
enable it to satisfy its obligations under the New Notes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The net loss realized by the Partnership for the six months ended June 30, 1997
was $1,652,000 compared to $6,676,000 for the same period in 1996. The decrease
in the net loss is attributable to a decrease in expenses, which was partially
offset by a decrease in total revenues. Total expenses decreased to $17,617,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $24,438,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in interest
expense due to the cessation of interest accruals on the mortgage loan
encumbering the Headquarters Facility. From the date of the Operating
Partnership's Bankruptcy filing no mortgage interest has been accrued or paid.
In addition depreciation and amortization decreased by $1,025,000 in the first
six months of 1997 compared to 1996, as a result of the additional writedown of
property value ($23,261,000) in 1996.

Total revenues decreased by $1,077,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
as compared to the same period for 1996. Although average occupancy at the
property remains stable at 98%, base rental revenue decreased due to space being
re-leased at lower rental rates and higher bases for operating escalation charge
backs.


The net income realized by the Partnership for the three months ended June 30,
1997 was $2,788,000 compared to the net loss of $3,399,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1996. This increase in income of $6,187,000 is mainly
attributable to the mortgage interest not being accrued, approximately
$5,870,000. The remaining increase of approximately $200,000 represents the
decrease in depreciation and amortization, approximately $540,000 offset by the
decrease in rental income, approximately $380,000. Depreciation and amortization
decreased because of the additional 1996 property writedown of $23,261,000.
Total revenue decreased because of space being re-leased at lower rental rates
and higher bases for operating escalation charge backs.
