The $150,000 credit facility (the "Credit  Facility") led by FNBB has a two year
term ending May 1996, bears interest,  at the Company's option, at either (i) 2%
above the  Eurodollar  rate or (ii) the greater of FNBB's base rate or .5% above
the federal  funds  effective  rate.  As of March 31,  1996,  the Company had no
outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. On April 24, 1996, the Company
canceled  the Credit  Facility.  In April 1996,  the Company  will  recognize an
extraordinary  loss of  $1,599  resulting  from  the  write-off  of  unamortized
deferred  financing  fees  on the  canceled  Credit  Facility.  The  Company  is
currently  negotiating a new $150,000  unsecured credit facility with FNBB which
is expected to be executed in May 1996.

5.   MINORITY INTEREST:

Minority interest represents (i) limited partnership  interests in the Operating
Partnership   ("units")  and  (ii)  joint  venture  interests  held  by  outside
interests.  Each unit may be exchanged  for either one share of common stock or,
at the election of the Company, cash equal to the fair market value of the share
of common stock at the time of the exchange. When a unitholder exchanges a unit,
minority interest will be reduced and the Company's  investment in the Operating
Partnership  will be increased.  During the first quarter of 1996,  10,366 units
were  exchanged  for shares of common stock of the  Company.  At March 31, 1996,
5,361,362  units  of the  Operating  Partnership  were  outstanding  and held by
minority interest unitholders.

6.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:

On  February  6,  1996,   the  Company  paid  a  cash  dividend  and  unitholder
distribution  of $15,851 or $.55 per share and equivalent  unit, to stockholders
and  unitholders of record on January 19, 1996. The cash dividend and unitholder
distribution  represented  an  annualized  distribution  of $2.20  per share and
equivalent unit.

7.   ACQUISITIONS:

On January 5, 1996, the Company acquired 3333 Lee Parkway,  a 12-story,  234,000
net  rentable  square  foot  Class A  office  building  located  in the Oak Lawn
submarket of Dallas, Texas. The purchase price of the building was $14,500.

8.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

On  April  4,  1996,  the  Company  declared  a  cash  dividend  and  unitholder
distribution  of $15,897 or $.55 per share and equivalent  unit, to stockholders
and  unitholders  of record on April 17, 1996.  The cash dividend and unitholder
distribution   were  paid  on  May  1,  1996,  and   represented  an  annualized
distribution of $2.20 per share and equivalent unit.

On April 18, 1996, the Company acquired from Aetna Life Insurance  Company a 50%
joint  venture  interest  in 301  Congress  Avenue,  a  22-story  Class A office
building  located in  downtown  Austin,  Texas.  The  Company's  investment  was
$21,635.  Beginning in April 1996, the operations of 301 Congress  Avenue,  L.P.
will be consolidated into the operations of the Company.

Item 2.  Management's   Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and
     Historical Results of Operations

The changes in operating  results from period to period are primarily the result
of  increases  in the total  square  feet of the  portfolio  due to  significant
acquisitions  made by direct and indirect  subsidiaries  of Crescent Real Estate
Equities, Inc. (the "Company"). The weighted average square feet of consolidated
properties for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 were approximately
9.0 and 5.2 million, respectively.

The  consolidated  statement of operations  for the three months ended March 31,
1996 includes the results of operations of 31 office  properties  and two retail
properties, rental income from three hotel properties, interest income earned on
one mortgage note and income from investments in three  Residential  Development
Corporations.  The  consolidated  statement of  operations  for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 includes the results of operations of 12 office  properties
and two retail centers,  rental income from one hotel property,  interest income
earned on one mortgage note and income from the  investments in two  Residential
Development Corporations.

This   information   should  be  read  in  conjunction   with  the  accompanying
consolidated  financial statements and notes thereto. These financial statements
include all  adjustments  which are, in the opinion of management,  necessary to
reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods  presented,  and
all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues from rental properties increased approximately $16.8 million, or 66.7%,
to $42.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to $25.2
million for the three months ended March 31,  1995.  This  increase is primarily
attributable  to: a) the  acquisition  of two  office  properties  and one hotel
property  in the  first  quarter  of 1995  which  resulted  in $1.7  million  of
incremental  revenues;  and b) the  acquisition of 18 office  properties and two
hotel properties subsequent to March 31, 1995 which resulted in $14.5 million of
incremental revenues.

Total expenses increased $13.7 million, or 63.4%, to $35.3 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1996,  as compared to $21.6  million for the three months
ended March 31, 1995. The increase in rental property operating expenses of $5.2
million  is  primarily  attributable  to:  a)  the  acquisition  of  two  office
properties and one hotel property in the first quarter of 1995 which resulted in
$.4  million  of  incremental  expenses;  and b) the  acquisition  of 18  office
properties and two hotel properties subsequent to March 31, 1995, which resulted
in $4.7 million of incremental expenses. Depreciation and amortization increased
$2.9 million primarily due to the property acquisitions  subsequent to March 31,
1995. The increase in interest  expense and  amortization of deferred  financing
costs of $4.7 million and $.5 million,  respectively,  is primarily attributable
to the three long-term financing  arrangements which the Company entered into in
the third and fourth  quarters of 1995.  The  borrowings  were used primarily to
fund property acquisitions. The increase in corporate general and administrative
of $.4  million  was  attributable  to  incremental  costs  associated  with the
corporate  operations  of the  Company  as a direct  result of  recent  property
additions to the Company's portfolio.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents were $20.4 million and $16.9 million at March 31, 1996
and December  31, 1995,  respectively.  The  increase is  attributable  to $23.6
million  and $11.0  million  provided by  financing  and  operating  activities,
respectively,  offset by $31.2 million of cash used in investing activities. The
Company utilized $31.2 million of cash flow primarily in the following investing
activities:  (i) the acquisition of one office property  ($14.5  million);  (ii)
additional investments in Residential Development  Corporations ($10.4 million);
(iii) tenant and building  improvements  ($1.5 million) and (iv) restricted cash
escrows  for  capital  expenditures,  real  estate  taxes  and  insurance  ($2.2
million). The cash inflow from operating activities is primarily attributable to
property  operations and a decrease in restricted  cash reserves for the payment
of real estate taxes partially offset by the increase in accounts receivable due
to recent  property  acquisitions  and the hotel leasee's  percentage rent lease
payments  which are remitted  quarterly and decrease in accounts  payable due to
payment of property  taxes.  The Company's  inflow of cash provided by financing
activities  is primarily  attributable  to proceeds  received from the long-term
financing  arrangements  with Nomura Asset Capital  Corporation  ("Nomura")  and
Connecticut  General Life Insurance Company ("CIGNA") ($108.6 million) partially
offset by the paydown of the  short-term  note payable  ($49.0  million) and the
Credit Facility ($20.0 million) and the  distributions  paid to stockholders and
unitholders ($15.9 million).

On February 16, 1996, the Company's S-3 shelf  registration  with the Securities
and  Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") for an  aggregate  of $500  million of common
stock,  preferred  stock and  warrants to  purchase  common  stock was  declared
effective by the SEC. Any securities issued under the registration statement may
be  offered  from  time  to time in  amounts,  at  prices,  and on  terms  to be
determined  at  the  time  of  the  offering.  Management  believes  this  shelf
registration  will provide the Company with more efficient and immediate  access
to the  capital  markets  at such  time  as it is  considered  appropriate.  Net
proceeds  from any  offering  of these  securities  are  expected to be used for
general  business  purposes,   including  the  acquisition  and  development  of
additional properties and other acquisition transactions, the payment of certain
outstanding  debt  and  improvements  to  certain  properties  in the  Company's
portfolio.

<F1> On April 24, 1996, the Company  canceled the $150 million credit  facility.
     The Company is currently  negotiating a new $150 million  unsecured  credit
     facility  with  First  National  Bank of  Boston  which is  expected  to be
     executed in May 1996.

<F2> The note has a seven year  period  during  which only  interest is payable,
     followed  by five  years  of  principal  amortization  based  on a  25-year

     remit,  in addition to the monthly debt service  payment,  excess  property
     cash flow, as defined, to be applied first against principal until the note
     is paid  in full  and  thereafter,  against  accrued  excess  interest,  as
     defined. It is the Company's intention to repay the note in full at the end
     of the 12 year  term  by  making  a final  payment  of  approximately  $220
     million.

<F3> The note has a seven year  period  during  which only  interest is payable,

The Company  expects to meet its  short-term  liquidity  requirements  primarily
through cash flow provided by operating  activities,  which the Company believes
will be adequate to fund  normal  recurring  operating  expenses,  debt  service
requirements,   non-incremental  revenue  generating  capital  expenditures  and
distributions to stockholders and unitholders.  To the extent the Company's cash
flow  from  operating  activities  is  not  sufficient  to  finance  incremental
revenue-generating  capital expenditures (including additions to or replacements
of residential  lots), or investment  property  acquisition  costs,  the Company
expects to finance such activities  with proceeds from the new credit  facility,
available cash reserves and other debt and equity financing.

The Company  expects to meet its long-term  liquidity  requirements,  consisting
primarily of maturities under the CIGNA Note and Nomura Notes, through long-term
secured and  unsecured  borrowings  and the issuance of debt  securities  and/or
additional equity securities of the Company.

Based on the Company's total market  capitalization of $1.5 billion at March 31,
1996 (at a $33.625 stock price and including the full conversion of all units of
minority  interest in the Operating  Partnership plus total  indebtedness),  the
Company's debt represented 33.2% of its total market capitalization. The Company
intends to maintain a conservative capital structure with total debt targeted at
40% of total market capitalization.

The Company intends to maintain its  qualification  as a real estate  investment
trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
As a REIT, the Company will generally not be subject to corporate federal income
taxes  as long as it  satisfies  certain  technical  requirements  of the  Code,
including  the  requirement  to  distribute  95% of its  taxable  income  to its
shareholders.

Funds from Operations
- - ---------------------

Funds from Operations  ("FFO"),  based on the revised  definition adopted by the
Board of Governors of the National  Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
("NAREIT") and as used herein, means net income (loss) (determined in accordance
with generally accepted  accounting  principles or "GAAP"),  excluding gains (or
losses) from debt  restructuring  and sales of property,  plus  depreciation and
amortization of real estate assets,  and after  adjustments  for  unconsolidated
partnerships  and joint  ventures.  FFO was  developed  by NAREIT as a  relative
measure of  performance  and  liquidity  of an equity REIT in order to recognize
that  income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis
determined  under GAAP.  The Company  considers  FFO an  appropriate  measure of
performance  of an  equity  REIT.  However,  FFO (i)  does  not  represent  cash
generated from operating  activities  determined in accordance with GAAP (which,
unlike FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events
that  enter  into the  determination  of net  income),  (ii) is not  necessarily
indicative  of cash flow  available  to fund cash needs and (iii)  should not be
considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as
an  indication  of the  Company's  operating  performance,  or to cash flow from
operating  activities  determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of either
liquidity  or the  Company's  ability to make  distributions.  The  Company  has
historically  distributed  an amount  less than FFO,  primarily  due to reserves
required  for capital  expenditures,  including  leasing  costs.  The  aggregate
distributions  paid to  stockholders  and unitholders for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995 were $15.9 and $11.3 million,  respectively. An increase
in FFO does not  necessarily  result in an increase in  aggregate  distributions
because  the   Company's   board  of  directors  is  not  required  to  increase
distributions  on a  quarterly  basis  unless  necessary  in order to enable the
Company to maintain REIT status. However, the Company must distribute 95% of its
real estate investment trust taxable income (as defined in the Code), therefore,
a  significant   increase  in  FFO  will   generally   require  an  increase  in
distributions  to  stockholders  and  unitholders  although not necessarily on a
proportionate  basis.  Accordingly,  the  Company  believes  that  in  order  to
facilitate  a  clear  understanding  of the  consolidated  historical  operating
results  of the  Company,  FFO  should be  considered  in  conjunction  with the
Company's  net  income  (loss) and cash flows as  reported  in the  consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto. Management believes that FFO is a useful
indicator of operations and ability to generate cash and,  therefore,  is useful
to investors both in understanding  the Company's  performance and liquidity and
because  industry  analysts  generally  report FFO of REITs,  in comparing these

may not apply the revised definition of FFO in the same manner as the Company.
