              WINTHROP CALIFORNIA INVESTORS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              September 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.

          As indicated in Note 4 below, ownership of the Headquarters Facility
          was transferred to a newly formed Limited Liability Company, in
          exchange for an interest in such entity.

          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 of 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.

2.      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on
        a going 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 4 below).

        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 September 30,
        1997 presentation.

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 $937,500 representing the fee
        due for July 1, 1996 to September 30, 1997. In addition, the Partnership
        has reimbursed an affiliate of the general partner for certain
        administrative expenses in an amount of $25,586 and $108,750 for the
        nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

4.      PLAN OF REORGANIZATION OF OPERATING PARTNERSHIP/SUBSEQUENT EVENT

        The Operating Partnership filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the
        U.S. Bankruptcy Code on March 28, 1997. The Operating Partnership's
        Third Amended Plan of Reorganization dated July 23, 1997 was approved by
        the bankruptcy court.

        On October 3, 1997, the reorganization of the Operating Partnership as
        provided for in the Plan was implemented. For a description of the Plan,
        see Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
        and Results of Operations.

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 currently holds a 10% interest in Jamboree LLC
which in turn, 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 90 acres of partially
improved 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
continued management of the Headquarters Facility by WC Management generating
revenue to the Partnership as a result of distributions from WC Management
(derived from the management of the LLC properties), (ii) the ability of the
Operating Partnership to continue in existence and to generate revenue to the
Partnership as a result of distributions from the Operating Partnership, and
(iii) 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.
WFA has in the past and may in the future 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 account (investment securities) had a balance of
$2,367,000 at September 30, 1997 and is available to be used for tenant
improvements at the Headquarters Facility.

The Partnership had $16,288,000 of cash and cash equivalents at September 30,
1997, as compared to $5,335,000 at December 31, 1996. This increase is
attributable to $15,865,000 of net cash provided by operating activities which
was partially offset by $2,536,000 of net cash used for reorganization items and
$2,376,000 of net cash used by investing activities. The significant increase in
net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September

30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996 is primarily
attributable to the cessation of interest payments on the mortgage loan
encumbering the Headquarters Facility during the nine months ended September 30,
1997. Net cash from reorganization items consist primarily of professional fees
paid in connection with the Operating Partnership's Chapter 11 filing. Cash used
in investing activities consists of $1,298,000 of building improvements and the
transfer of $1,357,000 to the reserve account at March 31, 1997, net of $279,000
of disbursements from reserve account.

Fluor Corporation, which currently leases apaproximately 53% of the total
rentable space at the Headquarters Facility, has informed the Operating
Partnership that it intends to vacate the Headquarters Facility when its lease
expires in 1999. It is expected that to the extent that new tenants can be found
for the vacated space, the lease payments under any such new leases will be at
rates lower than those currently being paid by Fluor Corporation. Leases have
been signed for approximately 10% of the Fluor space that is being vacated,
which come into effect August 1, 1998. Accordingly, it is expected that the
pending vacancy by Fluor Corporation will have an adverse effect on the
Partnership's cash flow.

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.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLICATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              September 30, 1997


Plan of Reorganization of the Operating Partnership

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 was obtained, and on
October 3, 1997 the Plan was approved.

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Operating Partnership contributed 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 Jamboree LLC, a
newly formed Delaware limited liability company. In exchange for transferring
all of its assets and liabilities to Jamboree LLC, the Operating Partnership
received an initial 10% ownership interest in Jamboree LLC. In addition, the
Partnership received 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 was 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 are 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 contributed the First Intermediate Note to Jamboree
Office REIT (a newly formed real estate investment trust, the initial
stockholders of which are the Certificateholders) and Jamboree Office REIT, in
turn, contributed the First Intermediate Note to Jamboree LLC in exchange for
the remaining 90% interest in Jamboree LLC. Jamboree LLC satisfied 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 is 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 is governed by a five-person board of member representatives (the
"Jamboree LLC Board"). The initial five members were 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 is 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. 

In addition, the Operating Partnership has 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

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              September 30, 1997



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 has 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 has issued 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 has 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 has 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 has granted the
Certificateholders a security interest on the Headquarters Facility, and the
Operating Partnership has executed 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.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              September 30, 1997


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The net income realized by the Partnership for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 was $39,000 compared to a net loss of $11,348,000 for the same period
in 1996. The decrease in the net loss is attributable to a decrease in expenses,
and an increase in total revenues. Total expenses decreased to $24,153,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $37,490,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease
in interest expense of $11,616,000 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 $1,590,000 in
the first nine months of 1997 compared to 1996, as a result of the additional
writedown of property value ($23,261,000) in 1996.

Total revenues increased by $433,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1997, as compared to the same period for 1996. Average occupancy at the property
remains stable at 98%. Total revenue increased by approximately $800,000, in
other income, representing real estate tax abatements received. This was offset
by approximately $400,000 lower rent and common area reimbursements due to space
being released at lower rental rates and higher bases for operating escalation
reimbursements for leases in effect in the first quarter.

The net income realized by the Partnership for the three months ended September
30, 1997 was $1,691,000 compared to the net loss of $4,672,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996. This increase in income of $6,363,000 is mainly
attributable to the mortgage interest not being accrued, approximately
$5,859,000. The remaining increase of $504,000 represents the decrease in
depreciation and amortization, approximately $560,000 and the increase in rental

income, approximately $1,300,000 offset by the increase in reorganization items
of $1,764,000. Depreciation and amortization decreased because of the additional
1996 property writedown of $23,261,000. Total revenue increased because of the
real estate tax abatements received, approximately $800,000, in other income.
Also total revenue increased approximately $500,000 in higher rents for leases
coming into effect in the second and third quarter. This reflects the increase
in market rental rates in the Irvine area.
