                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               September 30, 2001
                                   (Unaudited)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and the Operating Partnership and their wholly owned affiliates. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

     The extraordinary loss represents the write-off of loan origination fees
and prepayment penalties paid on the early extinguishment of debt, net of the
minority interest.

     The Company has elected and expects to continue to qualify as a REIT under
Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Therefore, no provision has been made for income taxes related to REIT taxable
income to be distributed to stockholders.

     Minority interest in the Company represents Common Units owned by various
individuals and entities other than the Company in the Operating Partnership,
the entity that owns substantially all of 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 of Common Stock outstanding (including common share
equivalents). In addition, minority interest includes equity of consolidated
real estate partnerships which are owned by various individuals and entities
other than the Company.

     Certain amounts in the September 30, 2000 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the September 30, 2001 presentation. These
reclassifications had no material effect on net income or stockholders' equity
as previously reported.

     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 our financial position, results of
operations and cash flows have been made. For further information, refer to the
financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2000 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

2.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

     Our sole business is the acquisition, development and operation of rental
real estate properties. We operate office, industrial and retail properties and
apartment units. There are no material inter-segment transactions.

     Our chief operating decision maker ("CDM") assesses and measures operating
results based upon property level net operating income. The operating results
for the individual assets within each property type have been aggregated since
the CDM evaluates operating results and allocates resources on a
property-by-property basis within the various property types.

     The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in
Note 1. Further, all operations are within the United States and no tenant
comprises more than 10% of consolidated revenues. The following table summarizes
the rental income, net operating income and total assets for each reportable
segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000.

3.   DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     On January 1, 2001, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement (SFAS) No. 133/138, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," as amended. This Statement requires us to recognize all derivatives
on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be
adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending
on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will
either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets,
liabilities or firm commitments through earnings, or recognized in Accumulated
Other Comprehensive Loss ("AOCL") until the hedged item is recognized in
earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value is
recognized in earnings. In connection with the adoption of SFAS 133/138 in
January 2001, we recorded a net transition adjustment of $555,962 of unrealized
loss in interest and other income and a net transition adjustment of $125,000 in
AOCL. Adoption of the standard also resulted in our recognizing $127,000 of
derivative instrument liabilities and a reclassification of approximately $10.6
million of deferred financing costs from past cashflow hedging relationships
from other assets to AOCL.

     Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of
interest rate changes on earnings and cashflows and to lower overall borrowing
costs. To achieve these objectives, we enter into interest rate hedge contracts
such as collars, swaps, caps and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate
our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not hold
these derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

     All of our derivatives are designated as cashflow hedges (i.e., hedging the
exposure of variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a
particular risk) at September 30, 2001. The effective portion of the cumulative
loss on the derivative instruments was $9.9 million at September 30, 2001 and is
reported as a component of AOCL in partners' capital and recognized into
earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction
affects earnings (as the underlying debt is paid down). We expect that the
portion of the cumulative loss recorded in AOCL at September 30, 2001 associated
with the derivative instruments which will be recognized within the next 12
months will be approximately $1.6 million. The ineffective portion of

                                       10

our derivatives' changes in fair value has resulted in a loss of $685,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001 which is included in interest and other
income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

     Derivative liabilities totaling approximately $646,000 related to our
interest rate swap and collar agreements, with a notional amount of $99.3
million, are recorded in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other
liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2001. The fair
value of our interest rate swap and collar agreements was $(646,000) at
September 30, 2001. To determine the fair values of derivative instruments, we
use a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and
risks existing at each balance sheet date. For the majority of financial
instruments including most derivatives, long-term investments and long-term
debt, standard market conventions and techniques such as discounted cash flow
analysis, option pricing models, replacement cost and termination cost are used
to determine fair value. All methods of assessing fair value result in a general
approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.

     Accumulated other comprehensive loss represents net income plus the results
of certain non-shareholders' equity changes not reflected in the Consolidated
Statements of Income. The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss are

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 and is based primarily on
the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Results of Operations

     Three Months Ended September 30, 2001. Revenues from rental operations
decreased $5.3 million, or 4.0%, from $131.1 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 to $125.8 million for the comparable period in 2001. The
decrease is primarily a result of the disposition of 2.7 million square feet of
wholly owned office and industrial properties and 1,672 apartment units, offset
in part by the acquisition of 475,000 square feet of wholly owned office and
industrial properties and the completion of 1.3 million square feet of
development activity during the last three months of 2000 and the first nine
months of 2001. Our in-service portfolio decreased from 37.8 million square feet
at September 30, 2000 to 36.9 million square feet at September 30, 2001. Same
property revenues, which are the revenues of the 468 in-service properties owned
on July 1, 2000, increased 3.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2001,
compared to the same three months of 2000.

     During the three months ended September 30, 2001, 170 leases representing
1.0 million square feet of office, industrial and retail space were executed at
an average rate per square foot which was 1.9% higher than the average rate per
square foot on the expired leases.

     Interest and other income decreased $1.5 million, or 22.7%, from $6.6
million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to $5.1 million for the
comparable period in 2001. The decrease was a result of a decrease in
development fee income and interest income, partly offset by an increase in
management fee income and an adjustment related to the adoption of SFAS 133 in
2001.

     Rental operating expenses decreased $1.8 million, or 4.6%, from $39.5
million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to $37.7 million for the
comparable period in 2001. The decrease is primarily a result of the disposition
and contribution of 2.7 million square feet of wholly owned office and
industrial properties and 1,672 apartment units, offset in part by the
acquisition of 475,000 square feet of wholly owned office and industrial
properties and the completion of 1.3 million square feet of development activity
during the last three months of 2000 and the first nine months of 2001. Rental
operating expenses as a percentage of related revenues was 30.1% for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 and 30.0% for the three months ended September
30, 2001.

     Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2001
and 2000 was $29.5 million and $30.1 million, respectively. The decrease of $0.6
million, or 2.0%, is due to a decrease in depreciable assets over the prior
year. Interest expense decreased $1.0 million, or 3.6%, from $27.7 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 to $26.7 million for the comparable
period in 2001. The decrease is attributable to a decrease in outstanding debt
and weighted average interest rates in 2001, partly offset by a decrease in
capitalized interest in 2001. Interest expense for the three months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000 included $324,000 and $564,000 respectively, of
amortization of deferred financing costs and the costs related to our interest
rate hedge contracts. General and administrative expenses decreased 0.5% from
4.1% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to 3.6% for
the comparable period in 2001.

     Income before minority interest and extraordinary item was $38.8 million
and $46.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. The Operating Partnership recorded $7.7 million in preferred unit
distributions for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and $8.1 million in
preferred unit distributions for the three months ended September 30, 2000.

     Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001. Revenues from rental operations
decreased $24.1 million, or 6.0%, from $404.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 to $380.6 million for the comparable period in 2001. The
decrease is primarily a result of the disposition of 2.7 million square feet of
wholly owned office and industrial properties and 1,672 apartment units, offset
in part by the acquisition of 475,000 square feet of wholly owned office and
industrial properties and the completion of 1.3 million square feet of
development activity during the last three months of 2000 and the first nine
months of 2001. Our in-service portfolio decreased from 37.8 million square feet
at September 30, 2000 to 36.9 million square feet at September 30, 2001. Same
property revenues, which are the revenues of the 451 in-service properties owned
on January 1, 2000, increased 2.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001,
compared to the same nine months of 2000.

                                       12

<PAGE>

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, 530 leases representing
3.0 million square feet of office, industrial and retail space were executed at
an average rate per square foot which was 5.1% higher than the average rate per
square foot on the expired leases.

     Interest and other income increased $3.4 million, or 19.7%, from $17.3
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $20.7 million for the
comparable period in 2001. The increase was a result of an increase in interest
income, leasing, development and management fees, partly offset by an adjustment
related to the adoption of SFAS 133.

     Rental operating expenses decreased $7.4 million, or 6.1%, from $120.4
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $113.0 million for the
comparable period in 2001. The decrease is primarily a result of the disposition
of 2.7 million square feet of wholly owned office and industrial properties and
1,672 apartment units, offset in part by the acquisition of 475,000 square feet
of wholly owned office and industrial properties and the completion of 1.3
million square feet of development activity during the last three months of 2000
and the first nine months of 2001. Rental operating expenses as a percentage of
related revenues remained constant at 29.7% for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 and 2001.

     Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2001
and 2000 was $87.8 million. Interest expense decreased $1.3 million, or 1.5%,
from $83.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $82.6 million
for the comparable period in 2001. The decrease is attributable to a decrease in
outstanding debt and weighted average interest rates for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, partly offset by the decrease in capitalized interest in
2001. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000
included $1.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of amortization of
deferred financing costs and the costs related to our interest rate hedge
contracts. General and administrative expenses remained constant at 3.8% of
total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 2001.

     Income before minority interest and extraordinary item was $124.2 million
and $108.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. The Company's net income allocated to minority interest totaled
$15.2 million and $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and
2000, respectively. The Company recorded $23.8 million in preferred stock
dividends for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and $24.4 million in
preferred stock dividends for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Statement of Cash Flows. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the
Company generated $176.3 million in cash flows from operating activities and
$16.8 million in investing activities (primarily as a result of the disposition
of real estate assets, collection of notes receivable and repayments from
subsidiaries, partly offset by additions to real estate assets). These combined
cash flows of $193.1 million were used during the nine months to partly fund
financing activities of $244.7 million, primarily consisting of the repurchase
of Common Stock, Common Units and Preferred Stock and the payment of
distributions.

     Capitalization. The Company's total indebtedness at September 30, 2001
totaled $1.7 billion and was comprised of approximately $599.3 million of
secured indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 7.6% and
approximately $1.1 billion of unsecured indebtedness with a weighted average
interest rate of 6.9%. Except as stated below, all of the mortgage and notes
payable outstanding at September 30, 2001 were either fixed rate obligations or
variable rate obligations covered by interest rate hedge contracts.
Approximately $103.5 million of floating rate notes were not covered by interest
rate hedge contracts on September 30, 2001.

     Based on the Company's total market capitalization of $3.6 billion at
September 30, 2001 (at the September 30, 2001 stock price of $24.75 and assuming
the redemption for shares of Common Stock of the 7.6 million Common Units of
minority interest in the Operating Partnership), the Company's debt represented
approximately 47.2% of its total market capitalization.

     To meet in part our long-term liquidity requirements, we borrow funds at a
combination of fixed and variable rates. Borrowings under our $300.0 million
unsecured revolving loan (the "Revolving Loan") bear interest at variable rates.
Our long-term debt, which consists of long-term financings and the issuance of
debt securities, typically bears interest at fixed rates. In addition, we have
assumed fixed rate and variable rate debt in connection with acquiring
properties. Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact
of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall
borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time

                                       13

<PAGE>

we enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as collars, swaps, caps and
treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with
respect to various debt instruments. We do not hold or issue these derivative
contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

     The following table sets forth information regarding our interest rate
hedge contracts as of September 30, 2001:

</TABLE>


     The interest rates on our variable rate debt is adjusted at one-month
intervals, subject to settlements under these contracts. Net payments made to
counterparties under interest rate hedge contracts were $703,603 during the
first nine months of 2001 and were recorded as increases to interest expense.

     In addition, we are exposed to certain losses in the event of
nonperformance by the counterparties under the interest rate hedge contracts. We
expect the counterparties, which are major financial institutions, to perform
fully under these contracts. However, if the counterparties were to default on
their obligations under the interest rate hedge contracts, we could be required
to pay the full rates on our debt, even if such rates were in excess of the
rates in the contracts.

     Current and Future Cash Needs. Historically, rental revenue has been the
principal source of funds to pay operating expenses, debt service, stockholder
distributions and capital expenditures, excluding nonrecurring capital
expenditures. In addition, construction management, maintenance, leasing and
management fees have provided sources of cash flow. We presently have no plans
for major capital improvements to the existing in-service properties, other than
normal recurring building improvements, tenant improvements and lease
commissions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally
through working capital and net cash provided by operating activities along with
the Revolving Loan.

     Our short-term (within the next 12 months) liquidity needs also include,
among other things, the funding of approximately $76.2 million of our existing
development activity. We expect to fund our short-term liquidity needs through a
combination of:

     .   borrowings under our Revolving Loan (approximately $141.5 million was
         available at September 30, 2001);

     .   the issuance of secured debt;

     .   the selective disposition of non-core assets; and

     .   the sale or contribution of some of our wholly owned properties to
         strategic joint ventures to be formed with selected partners interested
         in investing with us, which will have the net effect of generating
         additional capital through such sales or contributions.

     Our long-term liquidity needs generally include the funding of existing and
future development activity, selective asset acquisitions and the retirement of
mortgage debt, amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loan and long-term
unsecured debt. We remain committed to maintaining a flexible and conservative
capital structure. Accordingly, we expect to meet our long-term liquidity needs
through a combination of (1) the issuance by the Operating Partnership of
additional unsecured debt securities, (2) the issuance of additional equity
securities by the Company and the Operating Partnership as well as (3) the
sources described above with respect to our short-term liquidity. We expect to
use such sources to meet our long-term liquidity requirements either through
direct payments or repayment of borrowings under the Revolving Loan. We do not
intend to reserve funds to retire existing secured or unsecured indebtedness
upon maturity. Instead, we will seek to refinance such debt at maturity or
retire such debt through the issuance of equity or debt securities or the
incurrence of other debt.

     We anticipate that our 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 our capital and liquidity needs in both
the short and long term. However, if these sources of funds are insufficient or
unavailable, the Company's

                                       14

<PAGE>

ability to make the expected distributions to stockholders discussed below and
satisfy other cash requirements may be adversely affected.

     Distributions to Stockholders. 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
following factors will affect cash flows from operating activities and,
accordingly, influence the decisions of the Board of Directors regarding
distributions: (1) debt service requirements after taking into account the
repayment and restructuring of certain indebtedness; (2) scheduled increases in
base rents of existing leases; (3) changes in rents attributable to the renewal
of existing leases or replacement leases; (4) changes in occupancy rates at
existing properties and procurement of leases for newly acquired or developed
properties; and (5) operating expenses and capital replacement needs.

Recent Developments

     Unit Repurchases. On May 31, 2001, the Company completed its previously
announced 10.0 million share and unit repurchase program pursuant to which the
Company repurchased Common Stock and Common Units at a weighted average per
share price of $24.19 for a total purchase price of $241.9 million. In addition,
on April 25, 2001, the Company announced that its board of directors has
authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 5.0 million shares of Common
Stock and Common Units. As of November 6, 2001, the Company has repurchased 1.2
million shares of Common Stock and Common Units at a weighted average purchase
price of $24.41 per share and a total purchase price of $29.1 million under this
new repurchase program. Separately, on June 19, 2001, the Company repurchased in
a privately negotiated transaction 20,055 Series A Preferred Shares at $922.50
per share, for a total purchase price of $18.5 million. For each Series A
Preferred Share repurchased by the Company, one equivalent Series A Preferred
Unit is retired.

     Disposition Activity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we
sold approximately 248,000 rentable square feet of office properties, 1,672
apartment units and 173.0 acres of development land for gross proceeds of $157.0
million. In addition, we currently have 300,250 rentable square feet of wholly
owned properties and 81.0 acres of land under contract for sale in various
transactions totaling $53.0 million. These transactions are subject to customary
closing conditions, including due diligence and documentation, and are expected
to close at various times throughout 2001. However, we can provide no assurance
that all or parts of these transactions will be consummated.

     As of November 12, 2001, we expect to use a portion of the cash proceeds
from our recent and pending disposition activity to reinvest in tax-deferred
exchange transactions under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. We expect
to reinvest up to $38.0 million of the cash proceeds from completed disposition
activity and up to $36.0 million of the cash proceeds from pending disposition
activity to acquire, in tax-deferred exchange transactions, in-service
properties, development land and development projects located in core markets
and in sub-markets where we have a strong presence. For an exchange to qualify
for tax-deferred treatment under Section 1031, the net proceeds from the sale of
a property must be held by an escrow agent until applied toward the purchase of
real estate qualifying for gain deferral. Given the competition for properties
meeting our investment criteria, there may be some delay in reinvesting such
proceeds. Delays in reinvesting such proceeds will reduce our income from
operations. In addition, the use of net proceeds from dispositions to fund
development activity, either through direct payments or repayment of borrowings
under our Revolving Loan, will reduce our income from operations until such
development projects are placed in service.

Possible Environmental Liabilities

     In connection with owning or operating our properties, we may be liable for
certain costs due to possible environmental liabilities. Under various laws,
ordinances and regulations, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act, and common law, an owner or operator of real
estate is liable for the costs to remove or remediate certain hazardous or toxic
chemicals or substances on or in the property. Owners or operators are also
liable for certain other costs, including governmental fines and injuries to
persons and property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether
the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the
hazardous or toxic chemicals or substances. The presence of such substances, or
the failure to remediate such substances properly, may adversely affect the
owner's or operator's ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using
such property as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal, treatment or

                                       15

<PAGE>

transportation of hazardous or toxic chemicals or substances may also be liable
for the same types of costs at a disposal, treatment or storage facility,
whether or not that person owns or operates that facility.

     Certain environmental laws also impose liability for releasing
asbestos-containing materials. Third parties may seek recovery from owners or
operators of real property for personal injuries associated with
asbestos-containing materials. A number of our properties have
asbestos-containing materials or material that we presume to be
asbestos-containing materials. In connection with owning and operating our
properties, we may be liable for such costs.

     In addition, it is not unusual for property owners to encounter on-site
contamination caused by off-site sources. The presence of hazardous or toxic
chemicals or substances at a site close to a property could require the property
owner to participate in remediation activities or could adversely affect the
value of the property. Contamination from adjacent properties has migrated onto
at least three of our properties; however, based on current information, we do
not believe that any significant remedial action is necessary at these affected
sites.

     As of the date hereof, we have obtained Phase I environmental assessments
(and, in certain instances, Phase II environmental assessments) on substantially
all of our in-service properties. These assessments have not revealed, nor are
we aware of, any environmental liability at our properties that we believe would
materially adversely affect our financial position, operations or liquidity
taken as a whole. This projection, however, could be incorrect depending on
certain factors. For example, material environmental liabilities may have arisen
after the assessments were performed or our assessments may not have revealed
all environmental liabilities or may have underestimated the scope and severity
of environmental conditions observed. There may also be unknown environmental
liabilities at properties for which we have not obtained a Phase I environmental
assessment or have not yet obtained a Phase II environmental assessment. In
addition, we base our assumptions regarding environmental conditions, including
groundwater flow and the existence and source of contamination, on readily
available sampling data. We cannot guarantee that such data is reliable in all
cases. Moreover, we cannot provide any assurances (1) that future laws,
ordinances or regulations will not impose a material environmental liability or
(2) that tenants, the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of our
properties or unrelated third parties will not affect the current environmental
condition of our properties.

     Some tenants use or generate hazardous substances in the ordinary course of
their respective businesses. In their leases, we require these tenants to comply
with all applicable laws and to be responsible to us for any damages resulting
from their use of the property. We are not aware of any material environmental
problems resulting from tenants' use or generation of hazardous or toxic
chemicals or substances. We cannot provide any assurances, however, that all
tenants will comply with the terms of their leases or remain solvent. If tenants
do not comply or do not remain solvent, we may at some point be responsible for
contamination caused by such tenants.

     Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA"), all public
accommodations and commercial facilities are required to meet certain federal
requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. These requirements
became effective in 1992. Compliance with the ADA requirements could require
removal of access barriers, and noncompliance could result in imposition of
fines by the U.S. government or an award of damages to private litigants.
Although we believe that our properties are substantially in compliance with
these requirements, we may incur additional costs to comply with the ADA.
Although we believe that such costs will not have a material adverse effect on
us, if required changes involve a greater expenditure than we currently
anticipate, our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources could be
materially adversely affected.

Funds From Operations and Cash Available for Distributions

     We consider 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. FFO does not represent net
income or cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as
defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). It should not be
considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating
performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO does not measure
whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all cash needs, including principal
amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. Further,
FFO as disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable

                                       16

<PAGE>

to our calculation of FFO, as described below. FFO and cash available for
distributions should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an
indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

     FFO equals net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains
(or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of depreciable assets, plus
depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. In March 1995, the National Association of Real
Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") issued a clarification of the definition of
FFO. This 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. In October 1999, NAREIT issued an additional
clarification effective as of January 1, 2000 stipulating that FFO should
include both recurring and non-recurring operating results. Consistent with this
clarification, non-recurring items that are not defined as "extraordinary" under
GAAP will be reflected in the calculation of FFO. Gains and losses from the sale
of depreciable operating property will continue to be excluded from the
calculation of FFO.

     Cash available for distribution is defined as FFO reduced by non-revenue
enhancing capital expenditures for building improvements and tenant improvements
and lease commissions related to second generation space.

Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

     Some of the information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain
forward-looking statements. Such statements include, in particular, statements
about our plans, strategies and prospects under "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." You can identify
forward-looking statements by our use of forward-looking terminology such as
"may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "continue" or other similar
words. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected
in or suggested by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot
assure you that our plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. When
considering such forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the
following important factors that could cause our actual results to differ
materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement:

     .  our markets could suffer unexpected increases in development of office,
        industrial and retail properties;

     .  the financial condition of our tenants could deteriorate;

                                       18



<PAGE>

     .    the costs of our development projects could exceed our original
          estimates;

     .    we may not be able to complete development, acquisition, reinvestment,
          disposition or joint venture projects as quickly or on as favorable
          terms as anticipated;

     .    we may not be able to lease or release space quickly or on as
          favorable terms as old leases;

     .    we may have incorrectly assessed the environmental condition of our
          properties;

     .    an unexpected increase in interest rates would increase our debt
          service costs;

     .    we may not be able to continue to meet our long-term liquidity
          requirements on favorable terms;

     .    we could lose key executive officers; and

     .    our southeastern markets may suffer an unexpected decline in economic
          growth or increase in unemployment rates.

     Given these uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the
results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to
reflect any future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.

    operating pass throughs) multiplied by 12.

Inflation

     Historically inflation has not had a significant impact on our operations
because of the relatively low inflation rate in our 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 our 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 us to replace existing
leases with new leases at a higher base rent if rents on the existing leases are
below the market rate.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     The effects of potential changes in interest rates are discussed below. Our
market risk discussion includes "forward-looking statements" and represents an
estimate of possible changes in fair value or future earnings that would occur
assuming hypothetical future movements in interest rates. These disclosures are
not precise indicators of expected future losses, but only indicators of
reasonably possible losses. As a result, actual future results may differ
materially from those presented. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources"
for a description of our accounting policies and other information related to
these financial instruments.

     To meet in part our long-term liquidity requirements, we borrow funds at a
combination of fixed and variable rates. Borrowings under the revolving loan
bear interest at variable rates. Our long-term debt, which consists of long-term
financings and the issuance of debt securities, typically bears interest at
fixed rates. In addition, we have assumed fixed rate and variable rate debt in
connection with acquiring properties. Our interest rate risk management
objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash
flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives,
from time to time we enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as collars,
swaps, caps and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate
risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not hold or issue these
derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

     Certain Variable Rate Debt. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had
approximately $103.5 million of variable rate debt outstanding that was not
protected by interest rate hedge contracts. If the weighted average interest
rate on this variable rate debt is 100 basis points higher or lower during the
12 months ended September 30, 2002, our interest expense would be increased or
decreased approximately $1.0 million. In addition, as of September 30, 2001, we
had $80.0 million of additional variable rate debt outstanding that was
protected by an interest rate collar that effectively keeps the interest rate
within a range of 65 basis points. We do not believe that a 100 basis point
increase or decrease in interest rates would materially affect our interest
expense with respect to this $80.0 million of debt.

     Interest Rate Hedge Contracts. For a discussion of our interest rate hedge
contracts in effect at September 30, 2001, see "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital
Resources--Capitalization." If interest rates increase by 100 basis points, the
aggregate fair market value of these interest rate hedge contracts as of
September 30, 2001 would increase by approximately $130,403. If interest rates
decrease by 100 basis points, the aggregate fair market value of these interest
rate hedge contracts as of September 30, 2001 would decrease by approximately
$132,269.

     In addition, we are exposed to certain losses in the event of
nonperformance by the counterparties under the hedge contracts. We expect the
counterparties, which are major financial institutions, to perform fully under
these contracts. However, if the counterparties were to default on their
obligations under the interest rate hedge contracts, we could be required to pay
the full rates on our debt, even if such rates were in excess of the rates in
the contracts.
