                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1996
                                  (UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Highwoods
Properties, Inc. (the "Company") and Highwoods/Forsyth Limited Partnership (the
"Operating Partnership"). The Company's investment in Highwoods Services, Inc.
and Forsyth Properties Services, Inc. (the "Service Companies") is accounted for
on the cost basis. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
     The Company has elected and expects to continue to qualify as a real estate
investment trust ("REIT") under Section 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended.
     Minority interest in the Company represents the limited partnership
interest owned by various individuals and entities and not the Company in the
Operating Partnership, the entity that owns the Company's properties and through
which the Company, as the sole general partner, conducts substantially all of
its operations. Per share information is calculated using the weighted average
number of shares outstanding (including common share equivalents).
     The accompanying financial information has not been audited, but in the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows of the Company have been made. For further
information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with all of the
financial statements appearing elsewhere in the report. The following discussion
is based primarily on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Highwoods
Properties, Inc.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996
     Revenue from rental operations increased 10.7 million, or 84%, from 12.7
million in 1995 to 23.4 million in 1996. The increase is a result of the
properties acquired during February 1995, which only contributed partially to
revenue in 1995 as well as the acquisitions made in subsequent periods in 1995.
In total, 147 properties encompassing 6.5 million square feet were added to the
portfolio in 1995. Same property (the 44 properties owned on January 1, 1995)
revenues remained constant for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to
the same three months of 1995, as expected vacancies in two of the Company's
properties offset a two percent increase in the revenues of the other 42
properties.
     During the three months ended March 31, 1996, 127 leases representing
703,329 square feet of office and industrial space commenced at an average rate
per square foot 4.3% higher than the average rate per square foot on the expired
leases. Interest and other income increased $219,000 from $153,000 in 1995 to
$372,000 for the quarter in 1996. The increase is related to an increase in cash
available for investment for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.
     Rental operating expenses increased $3.1 million, or 100%, from $3.1
million in 1995 to $6.2 in 1996. The increase is a result of the additional
properties acquired in 1995. Rental operating expenses as a percent of related
rental revenues increased from 24.1% in 1995 to 26.3% in 1996. Additional
expenses relating to snow removal and the severe winter weather in 1996
contributed to the higher operating expenses.
     Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995 was $3.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The increase of $1.8
million, or 95%, is due to an increase in depreciable assets. Interest expense
increased $1.5 million, or 60%, from $2.5 million in 1995 to $4.0 million in
1996. The increase is attributable to the increase in outstanding debt related
to the Company's acquisition activities. Interest expense for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 included $409,000 and $404,000, respectively, of
amortization of non-cash deferred financing costs and of the costs related to
the Company's interest rate protection agreement. General and administrative
expenses decreased from 4.1% of rental revenue in 1995 to 4.0% in 1996. This
decrease is attributable to economies of scale associated with the growth in the
size of the portfolio.
     Net income before minority interest and extraordinary item equaled $9.0
million and $4.9 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively. Operating Partnership's net income allocated to the minority
interest totaled $1.6 million and $800,000 for 1996 and 1995, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
  STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
     The Company generated $11.4 million in cash flow from operating activities
and $3.4 million in cash flow from financing activities for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996. The Company utilized $13.6 million of this cash flow to invest
in real property assets, primarily developments in process.
  CAPITALIZATION
     The Company's total indebtedness at March 31, 1996 totaled $196.7 million
and was comprised of $21.5 million outstanding under the Company's current $140
million unsecured credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), $134.3 million of
conventional fixed rate mortgage indebtedness with an average rate of 9.0%,
$35.9 million outstanding under variable rate mortgages (see below for a
discussion of interest rate protection agreements) and a 9% $5.0 million
unsecured note.
                                       9
 
<PAGE>
     Based on the Company's total market capitalization of $841.7 million at
March 31, 1996 (at the March 31, 1996 stock price of $27.88 and including the
conversion of the 3,732,000 units of minority interest in the Operating
Partnership), the Company's debt represented approximately 23% of its total
market capitalization.
     In March 1996, the Company closed on the $140 million Credit Facility,
which replaced the Company's previous $80 million line. The new facility is with
NationsBank, First Union National Bank of North Carolina, and Wachovia Bank of
North Carolina. The Credit Facility requires monthly payments of interest only,
with the balance of all principal and accrued but unpaid interest due on
September 30, 1999. The initial interest rate on the facility is LIBOR +150% and
will adjust based on the Company's senior unsecured credit rating to a range of
LIBOR +1.00% to LIBOR +1.50%, subject to the interest rate protection agreement
described below. At March 31, 1996, one-month LIBOR was 5.4%. (See "Pending
Acquisition of Crocker Realty Trust, Inc." below for proposed credit facility
modifications.)
     To protect the Company from increases in interest expense due to changes in
the variable rate, the Company: (i) purchased an interest rate cap limiting its
exposure to an increase in interest rates (one-month LIBOR plus 150 basis
points) to 7.0% with respect to $80 million of the $140 million Credit Facility,
and (ii) in connection with the $35.9 million variable rate mortgages, entered
into interest rate swaps which limit its exposure to an increase in the interest
rates to 7.24%. The interest rate on all such variable rate debt is adjusted at
monthly intervals, subject to the Company's interest rate protection program.
The Company is exposed to certain losses in the event of non-performance by the
counterparties under the cap and swap arrangements. The counterparties are major
financial institutions and are expected to fully perform under the agreements.
However, if they were to default on their obligations under the arrangements,
the Company could be required to pay the full rate under its Credit Facility and
the variable rate mortgages, even if such rate were in excess of the rate in the
cap and swap agreements. In addition, the Company may incur other variable rate
indebtedness in the future. Increases in interest rates on its indebtedness
could increase the Company's interest expense and could adversely affect the
Company's cash flow and its ability to pay expected distributions to
stockholders.
     Historically, rental revenue has been the principal source of funds to pay
operating expenses, debt service and capital expenditures, excluding
non-recurring capital expenditures. In addition, construction management,
maintenance, leasing and management fees have provided sources of cash flow.
Management believes that the Company will have access to the capital resources
necessary to expand and develop its business. To the extent that the Company's
cash flow from operating activities is insufficient to finance its acquisition
costs and other capital expenditures, including development costs, the Company
expects to finance such activities through the Credit Facility and other debt
and equity financing.
     The Company presently has no plans for major capital improvements to the
existing properties, other than normal recurring non-revenue enhancing
expenditures. The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements
generally through its working capital and net cash provided by operating
activities along with the previously discussed Credit Facility. The Company
expects to meet certain of its financing requirements through long-term secured
and unsecured borrowings and the issuance of debt securities or additional
equity securities of the Company. In addition, the Company anticipates utilizing
the Credit Facility to fund construction and development activities. The Company
does not intend to reserve funds to retire existing mortgage indebtedness under
the Credit Facility upon maturity. Instead, the Company will seek to refinance
such debt at maturity or retire such debt through the issuance of additional
equity or debt securities. The Company anticipates that its available cash and
cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities, together with cash
available from borrowings and other sources, will be adequate to meet the
capital and liquidity needs of the Company in both the short and long-term.
However, if these sources of funds are insufficient or unavailable, the
Company's ability to make the expected distributions discussed below may be
adversely affected.
     In order to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, the Company
is required to make distributions to its stockholders of at least 95% of REIT
taxable income. The Company expects to use its cash flow from operating
activities for distributions to stockholders and for payment of recurring, non-
incremental revenue-generating expenditures. The Company intends to invest
amounts accumulated for distribution in short-term investments. The following
factors will affect cash flows from operating activities
                                       10
 
<PAGE>
and, accordingly, influence the decisions of the Board of Directors regarding
distributions: (i) debt service requirements after taking into account the
repayment and restructuring of certain indebtedness; (ii) scheduled increases in
base rents of existing leases; (iii) changes in rents attributable to the
renewal of existing leases or replacement leases; (iv) changes in occupancy
rates at existing properties and procurement of leases for newly acquired or
developed properties; and (v) operating expenses and capital replacement needs.
NASHVILLE ACQUISITION
     On April 1, 1996 the Company completed a merger with Nashville, Tennessee
based Eakin & Smith and its affiliates ("Eakin & Smith") combining their
property portfolios, management teams and business operations. Through the
combination, the Company succeeded to the ownership of seven suburban office
buildings totaling 848,000 square feet, a 103,000-square-foot suburban office
development project, 18 acres of development land and Eakin & Smith's brokerage
and property management operations. All the properties and development land are
located in Nashville, Tennessee.
     The aggregate purchase price, assuming the completion of the in-process
development project, was approximately $98.5 million payable through the
issuance of 537,138 limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership and
the issuance of 489,421 common shares of the Company, the assumption of $37
million of indebtedness (average fixed rate of 8.0%), and cash payments of
approximately $33 million. The cash payments were funded by the Company's Credit
Facility. The aggregate purchases price excludes deferred payments totaling $1.5
million in common stock, which are attributable to Eakin & Smith's brokerage and
property management operation. The payments will be paid over a four-year period
provided certain annual operating measurements are achieved.
PENDING ACQUISITION OF CROCKER REALTY TRUST, INC.
     On April 29, 1996, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with
the owners of approximately 83% of the common stock of Crocker Realty Trust,
Inc. ("Crocker"). In addition, the Company has signed an Agreement and Plan of
Merger with Crocker pursuant to which the Company will acquire 100% of Crocker's
common stock. The transaction, which has been approved by each company's Board
of Directors, is expected to close in the third quarter of 1996.
   
     The Crocker portfolio consists of 58 suburban office properties and 12
service center properties encompassing 5.7 million square feet. Crocker's
properties are located in 15 southeastern markets, of which four are existing
Company markets (including Charlotte, NC; Raleigh, NC; and Nashville, TN) and 11
represent new markets for the Company (including Greenville, SC; Tampa, FL;
Memphis, TN; and Atlanta, GA). The properties are 95% leased and are primarily
located in business park settings. The Company will not acquire undeveloped land
in the transaction. Crocker is expected to distribute 258 acres of undeveloped
land and certain other assets, net of certain liabilities, to its shareholders
prior to the merger.
    
     Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company will acquire
for $11.02 per share in cash, subject to adjustment, the common stock of Crocker
owned by (i) AP CRTI Holdings, L.P., an affiliate of Apollo Real Estate
Advisors, (ii) AEW Partners, L.P. (an investment partnership advised by Aldrich
Eastman Waltch) and (iii) Crocker management (Thomas J. Crocker and his wife,
Barbara F. Crocker, Richard S. Ackerman and Robert E. Onisko). The shares to 
be purchased under this agreement total 22.4 million of the approximately 27.0 
million Crocker common shares outstanding. The remaining shares will be 
purchased for the same cash price per share pursuant to the Agreement and Plan 
of Merger. The aggregate value of the transaction is approximately $540 million,
including the assumption of certain Crocker indebtedness. The Stock Purchase 
Agreement and Agreement and Plan of Merger are irrevocable, subject to certain 
limited conditions of closing.
   
     The Company expects to finance the cash purchase of Crocker's shares
initially by utilizing the proceeds from a $250 million unsecured credit
facility and a $100 million unsecured interim facility led by NationsBank. The
credit facility commitment is an increase from the current amount of $140
million. Both the credit facility and the interim facility bear interest at a
rate of LIBOR + 150 basis points. The $250 million facility has a 36-month term
with certain conversion rights after nine months. In lieu of the interim
    
                                       11
 
<PAGE>
   
facility and draws under the expanded $250 million credit facility, the Company
may finance the merger through the issuance of a combination of private and
public equity.
    
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AND CASH AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTIONS
   
     The Company considers Funds from Operations ("FFO") to be a useful
financial performance measure of the operating performance of an equity REIT
because, together with net income and cash flows, FFO provides investors with an
additional basis to evaluate the ability of a REIT to incur and service debt and
to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures. Funds from Operations does
not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, and
FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of
the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a
measure of liquidity. Funds from Operations does not measure whether cash flow
is sufficient to fund all of the Company's cash needs including principal
amortization, capital improvements and distributions to shareholders. Funds from
Operations does not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing
activities as defined by GAAP. Further, FFO as disclosed by other REITs may not
be comparable to the Company's calculation of FFO, as described below.
    
   
     Funds From Operations means net income (computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles) excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and
after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. In March
1995, NAREIT issued a clarification of the definition of FFO. The clarification
provides that amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of
non-real estate assets are no longer to be added back to net income in arriving
at FFO. Cash available for distribution is defined as funds from operations
reduced by non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures for building improvements
and tenant improvements and lease commissions related to second generation
space.
    
   
     Funds from operations and cash available for distributions should not be
considered as alternatives to net income as an indication of the Company's
performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICE OPERATIONS
     The Company, through the Service Companies and Forsyth-Carter Brokerage
L.L.C., provides brokerage services as well as management, development,
construction and other related services for properties owned by third parties.
The Company currently provides third-party management services for 23 buildings
totaling approximately 847,000 rentable square feet and exclusive leasing
services for 29 buildings, totaling approximately 1.7 million rentable square
feet.
INFLATION
     Historically inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's
operations because of the relatively low inflation rate in the Company's
geographic areas of operation. Most of the leases require the tenants to pay
their pro rata share of increased incremental operating expenses, including
common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing the
Company's exposure to increases in operating expenses resulting from inflation.
In addition, many of the leases are for terms of less than seven years which may
enable the Company to replace existing leases with new leases at a higher base
rent if rents on the existing leases are below the market rate.
