2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
SFAS No. 123R. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 123R (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment . The new FASB rule requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. We were required to apply SFAS No. 123R beginning January 1, 2006. The scope of SFAS No. 123R includes a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation , and supersedes Accounting Principles Board, or APB, Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees . SFAS No. 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in Opinion No. 25, as long as the footnotes to the financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used. Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the fair value expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 on a prospective basis. We adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective application method which requires, among other things, that we recognize compensation cost for all awards outstanding at January 1, 2006, for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered. Additionally, our prior interim periods and fiscal years do not reflect any restated amounts due to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. We estimate an additional $1.4 million and $0.2 million of expense will be recorded in 2006 and 2007, respectively, for stock and unit options due to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R.

EITF 04-5. At its June 2005 meeting, the Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, reached a consensus regarding Issue No. 04-5 (EITF 04-5), Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights . EITF 04-5 was effective immediately for all newly-formed limited partnerships and for existing limited partnership agreements that are modified. The guidance is effective for existing limited-partnership agreements that are not modified no later than the beginning of the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The guidance provides a framework for addressing the question of when a general partner, as defined in EITF 04-5, should consolidate a limited partnership. The EITF has concluded that the general partner of a limited partnership should consolidate a limited partnership unless (1) the limited partners possess substantive kick-out rights as defined in paragraph B20 of FIN 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities , or (2) the limited partners possess substantive participating rights similar to the rights described in Issue 96-16, Investor's Accounting for an Investee When the Investor has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Shareholder or Shareholders have Certain Approval or Veto Rights . The FASB has amended Statement of Position 78-9, Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures, and EITF 96-16, to conform and align with the guidelines set forth in EITF 04-5. There was no impact to our financial condition or results of operations from the adoption of EITF 04-5.
Significant Accounting Policies
Earnings Per Share. SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share , specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share, or EPS.
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS amount. We present both basic and diluted earnings per share.
The following tables present the reconciliation for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, of basic and diluted earnings per share from "Loss before discontinued operations" to "Net loss available to common shareholders." The tables also include weighted average shares on a basic and diluted basis.

3. SEGMENT REPORTING
For purposes of segment reporting as defined in SFAS No. 131, we have four major investment segments based on property type: the Office Segment; the Resort Residential Development Segment; the Resort/Hotel Segment and the Temperature-Controlled Logistics Segment. Management utilizes this segment structure for making operating decisions and assessing performance.
We use funds from operations, or FFO, as the measure of segment profit or loss. FFO, as used in this document, is based on the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, and means:
• | Net Income (Loss) – determined in accordance with GAAP; | ||
• | excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciable operating property; | ||
• | excluding extraordinary items (as defined by GAAP); | ||
• | plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets; and | ||
• | after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. |
We calculate FFO available to common shareholders – diluted in the same manner, except that Net Income (Loss) is replaced by Net Income (Loss) Available to Common Shareholders and we include the effect of Operating Partnership unitholder minority interests.
NAREIT developed FFO as a relative measure of performance of an equity REIT to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. We consider FFO available to common shareholders – diluted and FFO appropriate measures of performance for an equity REIT and for its investment segments. However, FFO available to common shareholders – diluted and FFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indication of our operating performance.
Our measures of FFO available to common shareholders – diluted and FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs if those REITs apply the definition of FFO in a different manner than we apply it.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the results of operations of the assets sold or held for sale have been presented as "Income from discontinued operations, net of minority interests," and gain or loss on the assets sold or held for sale have been presented as "Gain on sale of real estate from discontinued operations, net of minority interests" in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. Minority interests for wholly-owned properties represent unitholders' share of related income, gains and losses. The carrying value of the assets held for sale has been reflected as "Properties held for disposition, net" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
Assets Sold
On February 17, 2006, we completed the sale of the Waterside Commons Office Property located in the Las Colinas submarket in Dallas, Texas. The sale generated proceeds, net of selling costs, of approximately $24.8 million. We previously recorded an impairment charge of approximately $1.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2005. The proceeds from the sale were used primarily to pay down our credit facility.

6. JOINT VENTURES
Office
Parkway at Oakhill
On March 31, 2006, we entered into a joint venture arrangement, C-C Parkway Austin, L.P. (Parkway), with Champion Partners. The joint venture has committed to co-develop a 144,000 square-foot, two-building office complex in Austin, Texas. The venture is structured such that we own a 90% interest and Champion Partners owns the remaining 10% interest. In connection with the joint venture, Parkway entered into a maximum $18.3 million construction loan with JPMorgan Chase Bank. Our equity commitment to the joint venture was $8.2 million, of which $3.7 million was funded on March 31, 2006. The development, which is currently underway, is scheduled for delivery in 2007. Upon completion, we will manage the property on behalf of the joint venture. We consolidate Parkway in accordance with FIN 46, as it was determined to be a VIE of which we are the primary beneficiary. The amount that would be paid to Champion Partners if the partnership terminated would be approximately $0.8 million at March 31, 2006.
7. MEZZANINE INVESTMENTS
The following table presents our mezzanine loans entered into during the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Mezzanine loans are loans that are subordinate to a conventional first mortgage loan and senior to the borrower's equity in a transaction. These loans may be in the form of a junior participating interest in the senior debt or in the form of loans to the direct or indirect parent of the property owner secured by pledges of ownership interests in entities that directly or indirectly control the real property.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) | Obtaining this loan was a reconsideration event under FIN 46. We determined that the entity that operates Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn is a VIE of which we are the primary beneficiary. This entity was previously consolidated under other GAAP, therefore there is no impact to our Consolidated Financial Statements. | |
(2) | We assumed these loans in connection with the Hughes Center acquisitions. The following table lists the unamortized premium associated with the assumption of above market interest rate debt which is included in the balance outstanding at March 31, 2006, the effective interest rate of the debt including the premium and the outstanding principal balance at maturity: |
(dollars in thousands)
Unamortized | Balance at | |||||||||||
Loan | Premium | Effective Rate | Maturity | |||||||||
Mass Mutual Note | $ | 470 | 3.47 | % | $ | 32,692 | ||||||
Allstate Note | 1,131 | 5.19 | % | 20,771 | ||||||||
Metropolitan Life Note VI | 1,404 | 5.68 | % | 19,239 | ||||||||
Northwestern Life Note II | 402 | 3.80 | % | 8,663 | ||||||||
| ||||||||||||
Total | $ | 3,407 | $ | 81,365 | ||||||||
|
The premium was recorded as an increase in the carrying amount of the underlying debt and is being amortized using the effective interest rate method as a reduction of interest expense through maturity of the underlying debt. | ||
(3) | We have purchased U.S. Treasuries and government sponsored agency securities, or defeasance investments, to substitute as collateral for these loans. The cash flow from the defeasance investments matches the debt service payments for each loan. | |
(4) | To incur any additional debt, the indenture requires us to meet thresholds for a number of customary financial and other covenants including maximum leverage ratios, minimum debt service coverage ratios, maximum secured debt as a percentage of total undepreciated assets, and ongoing maintenance of unencumbered assets. Additionally, as long as the 2009 Notes are not rated investment grade, there are restrictions on our ability to make certain payments, including distributions to shareholders and investments. | |
(5) | At our option, these notes can be called beginning in April 2006 for 104.6%, in April 2007 for 102.3% and beginning in April 2008 and thereafter for par. | |
(6) | This loan has three one-year extension options. | |
(7) | This note consists of a $110.0 million senior loan at LIBOR plus 108 basis points, a $40.0 million first mezzanine loan at LIBOR plus 225 basis points and a $15.0 million second mezzanine loan at LIBOR plus 225 basis points. This loan has three one-year extension options. | |
(8) | This loan has one one-year extension option. The loans supporting this facility are subject to daily valuations by Morgan Stanley and are subject to a margin call if the overall leverage of the facility exceeds certain thresholds. | |
(9) | This loan has two one-year extension options. | |
(10) | Our partner provides a full guarantee of this loan. | |
(11) | Availability under the line of credit is subject to certain covenants including limitations on total leverage, fixed charge ratio, debt service coverage ratio, minimum tangible net worth, and a specific mix of office and hotel assets and average occupancy of Office Properties. At March 31, 2006, the maximum borrowing capacity under the credit facility was $382.8 million. The outstanding balance excludes letters of credit issued under our credit facility of $13.8 million which reduces our maximum borrowing capacity. | |
(12) | In 2005, we completed private offerings of $75.0 million of trust preferred securities through our trust subsidiaries. The securities are callable at no premium after June and July 2010. | |
(13) | The overall weighted average interest rate does not include the effect of our cash flow hedge agreements. Including the effect of these agreements, the overall weighted average interest rate would have been 6.97%. |
The following table shows information about our consolidated fixed and variable rate debt and does not take into account any extension options, hedging arrangements or our anticipated payoff dates.

(1) | Based on contractual maturity and does not include extension options on Bank of America Loan, Societe Generale Loan, Guaranty Bank Loan, Key Bank Construction Loan, California Bank and Trust Loan, Morgan Stanley II loan or GACC Note. |
We are generally obligated by our debt agreements to comply with financial covenants, affirmative covenants and negative covenants, or some combination of these types of covenants. Failure to comply with covenants generally will result in an event of default under that debt instrument. Any uncured or unwaived events of default under our loans can trigger an increase in interest rates, an acceleration of payment on the loan in default, and for our secured debt, foreclosure on the property securing the debt. In addition, a default by us or any of our subsidiaries with respect to any indebtedness in excess of $5.0 million generally will result in a default under the Credit Facility, the 2007 Notes, 2009 Notes, the Bank of America Funding XII Term Loan, the Key Bank Construction Loan, Morgan Stanley II Loan and the Societe Generale Construction Loan after the notice and cure periods for the other indebtedness have passed. As of March 31, 2006, no event of default had occurred, and we were in compliance with all covenants related to our outstanding debt. Our debt facilities generally prohibit loan pre-payment for an initial period, allow pre-payment with a penalty during a following specified period and allow pre-payment without penalty after the expiration of that period. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, there were no circumstances that required prepayment penalties or increased collateral related to our existing debt.
In addition to the subsidiaries listed in Note 1, "Organization and Basis of Presentation," certain other of our subsidiaries were formed primarily for the purpose of obtaining secured and unsecured debt or joint venture financings. These entities, all of which are consolidated and are grouped based on the Properties to which they relate, are: Funding III Properties (CRE Management III Corp.); Funding V Properties (CRE Management V Corp.); Funding VIII Properties (CRE Management VIII, LLC); Funding X Properties (CREF X Holdings Management, LLC, CREF X Holdings, L.P., CRE Management X, LLC); Funding XII Properties (CREF XII Parent GP, LLC, CREF XII Parent, L.P., CREF XII Holding GP, LLC, CREF Holdings, L.P., CRE Management XII, LLC); Spectrum Center (Spectrum Mortgage Associates, L.P., CSC Holdings Management, LLC, Crescent SC Holdings, L.P., CSC Management, LLC); The BAC-Colonnade Building (CEI Colonnade Holdings, LLC); Crescent BT I Investor, L.P. (CBT I Management Corp.), Crescent Finance Company, Crescent Real Estate Capital MS, L.P. and Crescent Real Estate Capital GS, L.P.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We use derivative financial instruments to convert a portion of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt and to manage the fixed to variable rate debt ratio. As of March 31, 2006, we had interest rate swaps and interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges, which converted $230.4 million of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. During the first quarter of 2006, two interest rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $200.0 million expired. In April 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap struck at 5.20% to hedge 75% of our anticipated draws on our Ritz-Carlton construction loan.
Warehouse Facility
On March 24, 2006, we entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement with Morgan Stanley Bank. Pursuant to the agreement, up to 70% of the value of the mezzanine loans that we make can be financed up to a maximum principal amount of $100 million. The investments can be financed through March 2008, after which four equal payments are due quarterly. The loan has a provision for a one-year extension which is subject to Morgan Stanley's approval. The interest rate and advance percentage associated with each draw is dependent on the loan-to-value ratio at the underlying property(ies) and the purchase rate as specified in the Master Repurchase Agreement. The loan bears interest ranging from LIBOR plus 140 basis points to 230 basis points and is secured by the note receivable associated with each advance. At March 31, 2006, approximately $21.0 million with a weighted average interest rate of 6.83% was outstanding under this agreement.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantee Commitments
The FASB issued Interpretation 45, Guarantors' Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN 45), requiring a guarantor to disclose its guarantees. For our guarantees on indebtedness, no triggering events or conditions are anticipated to occur that would require payment under the guarantees and management believes the assets associated with the loans that are guaranteed are sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of future payments and therefore, would not require us to provide additional collateral to support the guarantees. We recorded a liability for the Fresh Choice guarantee in an amount not significant to our operations. We have not recorded a liability associated with the other guarantees as they were entered into prior to the adoption of FIN 45. Our guarantees in place as of March 31, 2006, are listed in the table below.

Other Commitments
In July 2005, we purchased comprehensive insurance that covers us, contactors and other parties involved in the construction of the Ritz-Carlton hotel and condominium project in Dallas, Texas. Our insurance carrier, which will pay the associated claims as they occur under this program and will be reimbursed by us within our deductibles, requires us to provide a $1.7 million letter of credit supporting payment of claims. We believe there is a remote likelihood that payment will be required under the letter of credit.
12. MINORITY INTERESTS
Minority interests in the Operating Partnership represent the proportionate share of the equity in the Operating Partnership of limited partners other than Crescent. The ownership share of limited partners other than Crescent is evidenced by Operating Partnership units. Of the total outstanding amount of Operating Partnership units, 1,292,500 vested restricted units (2,585,000 common share equivalents) are subject to redemption for cash as part of the 2004 and 2005 Unit Plans. The Operating Partnership pays a regular quarterly distribution to the holders of Operating Partnership units.
Each Operating Partnership unit generally may be exchanged for either two common shares of Crescent or, at the election of Crescent, cash equal to the fair market value of two common shares at the time of the exchange. When a unitholder exchanges a unit, Crescent's percentage interest in the Operating Partnership increases. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, there were 51,600 units exchanged for 103,200 common shares of Crescent.
Minority interests in real estate partnerships represent joint venture or preferred equity partners' proportionate share of the equity in certain consolidated real estate partnerships. Income in the real estate partnerships is allocated to minority interests based on weighted average percentage ownership during the year.
The following table summarizes minority interests as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005:

14. STOCK AND UNIT BASED COMPENSATION
Stock and Unit Option Plans
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective application method which requires, among other things, that we recognize compensation cost for all options outstanding at January 1, 2006, for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered. Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the fair value expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 on a prospective basis as permitted by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, which requires that the fair value of stock options at the date of grant be amortized ratably into expense over the appropriate vesting period. The compensation expense recognized for stock and unit options for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was approximately $0.4 million, substantially all of which relates to additional expense recognized as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, compensation expensed recognized for stock and unit options was less than $0.1 million.
The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $1.83 and $1.03 respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $1.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The fair value of each option is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the expected weighted average assumptions in the following table. We estimated the expected term of options granted during the quarter by adding the vesting term plus the contractual term divided by two. We estimated stock price volatility using historical volatility data. The risk-free rate for the periods within the contractual life is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

As of March 31, 2006, there was approximately $2.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock and unit options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

With respect to our stock options which were granted prior to 2003 and prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123, we accounted for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25, and related Interpretations. Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the plans consistent with SFAS No. 123R, our net loss and loss per share would have been:

Crescent has two stock incentive plans, the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan and the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan. Both the 1995 Plan and the 1994 Plan expired on June 11, 2005, and March 31, 2004, respectively. The Operating Partnership has two unit incentive plans, the 1995 Unit Incentive Plan and the 1996 Unit Incentive Plan. The 1995 Unit Plan expired on June 30, 2005. The Operating Partnership has also granted unit options under the Operating Partnership agreement. These plans are collectively referred to as The Plans. Under The Plans, options were granted at a price not less than the market value of the shares on the date of grant, generally vest over five years of continuous service and expire ten years from the date of grant. We have a policy of issuing new shares to satisfy share option exercises.
On February 19, 2002, John Goff, Vice-Chairman of our Board of Trust Managers and our Chief Executive Officer, was granted the right to earn 300,000 restricted shares under the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan. These shares vest at 100,000 shares per year on February 19, 2005, February 19, 2006, and February 19, 2007. Compensation expense is being recognized on a straight-line basis. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, approximately $0.3 million was recorded as compensation expense related to this grant.
A summary of the status of The Plans as of March 31, 2006, and changes during the quarter then ended is presented in the table below.

2004 and 2005 Unit Plans
The 2004 Unit Plan provides for the issuance by the Operating Partnership of up to 1,802,500 restricted units (3,605,000 common share equivalents) to our officers. Restricted units granted under the 2004 Unit Plan vest in 20% increments when the average closing price of Crescent common shares on the New York Stock Exchange for the immediately preceding 40 trading days equals or exceeds $19.00, $20.00, $21.00, $22.50 and $24.00. The 2005 Unit Plan provides for the issuance by the Operating Partnership of up to 1,275,000 restricted Units (2,550,000 common share equivalents). Restricted units granted under the 2005

Unit Plan vest in 20% increments when the average closing price of Crescent Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange for the immediately preceding 40 trading days equals or exceeds $21.00, $22.50, $24.00, $25.50 and $27.00. Any restricted unit that is not vested on or prior to June 30, 2010, will be forfeited. Each vested restricted unit will be exchangeable, beginning on the second anniversary of the date of grant, for cash equal to the value of two Crescent common shares based on the closing price of the common shares on the date of exchange, and subject to a six-month hold period following vesting, unless, prior to the date of the exchange, Crescent requests and obtains shareholder approval authorizing it, at its discretion, to deliver instead two common shares in exchange for each such restricted unit. Regular quarterly distributions accrue on unvested restricted units and are payable upon vesting of the restricted units.
We obtained a third-party valuation to determine the fair value of the restricted units issued under the Plans. The third-party used a lattice-based valuation model which incorporated a range of assumptions for inputs including the expected weighted average assumptions in the following table.

The weighted average grant-date fair value of the restricted units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, was $7.31 and $7.96, respectively, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the related service period, except for when performance targets are achieved. For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, approximately $5.7 million and $1.1 million was recorded as compensation costs related to the Unit Plans, respectively, of which approximately $0.5 million and $0.1 million was capitalized, respectively.

As of March 31, 2006, there was approximately $19.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.8 years.
On March 10, 2006, the 40-day average closing price of Crescent's common shares reached the third performance target under the 2004 Unit Plan and first performance target under the 2005 Unit Plan. Upon achieving these targets 574,000 units (1,148,000 common share equivalents) vested. Of this amount, 331,750 units (663,500 common share equivalents) may be exchanged for cash beginning on December 1, 2006 and 239,750 units (479,500 common share equivalents) in 2007 and 2,500 units (5,000 common share equivalents) in 2008 unless, prior to the date of exchange, Crescent obtains shareholder approval authorizing it, in its discretion, to deliver instead two common shares for each such restricted unit. The total fair value of units vested during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $24.2 million.

15. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the taxable consolidated entities and the income tax basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the taxable consolidated entities were comprised of our taxable REIT subsidiaries.
We intend to maintain our qualification as a REIT under Section 856 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal corporate income taxes as long as we satisfy certain technical requirements of the Code, including the requirement to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income to our shareholders. Accordingly, we do not believe that we will be liable for current income taxes on our REIT taxable income at the federal level or in most of the states in which we operate. We consolidate certain taxable REIT subsidiaries, which are subject to federal and state income tax. For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, our income tax (expense) benefit from continuing operations was $(1.1) million and $1.2 million, respectively. Our $1.1 million income tax expense at March 31, 2006, consists primarily of $0.6 million for the Office Segment, $0.4 million for the Resort Residential Development Segment and $0.1 million for the Resort/Hotel Segment.
Our total net tax liability of approximately $2.8 million at March 31, 2006, includes $1.1 million of net deferred tax liabilities. SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes , requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The change in the valuation allowance was not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Loans to Employees and Trust Managers of the Company for Exercise of Stock Options and Unit Options
As of March 31, 2006, we had approximately $37.9 million in loan balances outstanding reflected in the "Additional paid-in capital" line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, inclusive of current interest accrued of approximately $0.2 million, to certain of our employees and trust managers on a recourse basis under stock and unit incentive plans pursuant to an agreement approved by our Board of Trust Managers and its Executive Compensation Committee. The employees and the trust managers used the loan proceeds to acquire common shares of Crescent pursuant to the exercise of vested stock and unit options. The loans bear interest at 2.52% per year, payable quarterly, mature on July 28, 2012, and may be repaid in full or in part at any time without premium or penalty. Mr. Goff had a loan representing $26.4 million of the $37.9 million total outstanding loans at March 31, 2006. No conditions exist at March 31, 2006 which would cause any of the loans to be in default.
17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 12, 2006, we purchased a $20.0 million mezzanine loan secured by the ownership interest in an entity that owns a ski resort in Northern California. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 450 basis points with an interest-only term until maturity in March 2009, subject to the right of the borrower to extend the loan pursuant to two one-year extension options.

Forward-Looking Statements
You should read this section in conjunction with the consolidated interim financial statements and the accompanying notes in Item 1, "Financial Statements," of this document and the more detailed information contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited interim financial statements are included. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this section have the meanings given to them in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 1, "Financial Statements."
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are generally characterized by terms such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "will" and "may."
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, our actual results could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
The following factors might cause such a difference:
• | Our ability, at our office properties to timely lease unoccupied square footage and timely re-lease occupied square footage upon expiration on favorable terms, which continue to be adversely affected by existing real estate conditions (including the vacancy levels in particular markets, decreased rental rates and competition from other properties) and may also be adversely affected by general economic downturns; | ||
• | Adverse changes in the financial condition of existing office customers and the ability of these office customers to pay rent; | ||
• | Lack of control and limited flexibility in dealing with our jointly-owned investments; | ||
• | Our ability to reinvest available funds at anticipated returns and consummate anticipated office acquisitions on favorable terms and within anticipated time frames; | ||
• | The ability of El Paso Energy to satisfy its obligations to pay rent and termination fees in accordance with the terms of its agreement with us; | ||
• | The concentration of a significant percentage of our office assets in Texas; | ||
• | The ability to develop, sell and deliver resort residential units and lots within anticipated time frames and within anticipated profit margins; | ||
• | Deterioration in the market or in the economy generally and increases in construction costs associated with development of residential land or luxury residences, including single-family homes, town homes and condominiums; | ||
• | Financing risks, such as our ability to generate revenue sufficient to service and repay existing or additional debt, increases in debt service associated with increased debt and with variable-rate debt, our ability to meet financial and other covenants, liquidity risks related to the use of warehouse facilities governed by repurchase agreements to fund certain of our mezzanine investments and our ability to consummate financings and refinancings on favorable terms and within any applicable time frames; | ||
• | Deterioration in our resort/business-class hotel markets or in the economy generally and increase in construction costs associated with the development of resort/hotel properties; | ||
• | The inherent risk of mezzanine investments, which are structurally or contractually subordinated to senior debt, may become unsecured as a result of foreclosure by a senior lender on its collateral, and are riskier than conventional mortgage loans; | ||
• | The existence of complex regulations relating to our status as a REIT, the effect of future changes in REIT requirements as a result of new legislation and the adverse consequences of the failure to qualify as a REIT; and | ||
• | Other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC. |
Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. We are not obligated to update these forward-looking statements to reflect any future events or circumstances.

Overview
We are a REIT with assets and operations divided into four investment segments: Office, Resort Residential Development, Resort/Hotel and Temperature-Controlled Logistics. Our strategy has two key elements.
First, we seek to capitalize on our award-winning office management platform. We intend to accomplish this by investing in premier office properties in select markets that offer attractive returns on invested capital. Our strategy is to align ourselves with institutional partners and become a significant manager of institutional capital. We believe this partnering makes us more competitive in acquiring new properties, and it enhances our return on equity by 300 to 600 basis points when compared to the returns we receive as a 100% owner. Where possible, we strive to negotiate performance-based incentives that allow for additional equity to be earned if return targets are exceeded. We were able to realize this increased return on equity from our promoted interest earned on the sale of Five Houston Center in December 2005.
Consistent with this strategy, we continually evaluate our existing portfolio for potential joint-venture opportunities. We currently hold 48% of our office portfolio in joint ventures, and we will continue to joint venture more assets in our portfolio, which will enable us to further increase our return on equity as well as gain access to equity for reinvestment.
We also seek to selectively develop new office properties where we see the opportunity for attractive returns. We started construction in the third quarter of 2005 on a new 239,000 square-foot office building as an addition to the Hughes Center complex in Las Vegas, Nevada. We are co-developing with Hines a 265,000 square-foot office building in Irvine, California, and we are developing, with JMI Realty, a 233,000 square-foot, three-building office complex in San Diego, California. We recently entered into a joint venture with Champion Partners to develop a 144,000 square-foot, two-building office complex in Austin, Texas. Additionally, we provide mezzanine financing to other office and hotel investors where we see attractive returns relative to owning the equity. We have approximately $137.4 million of mezzanine financing investments, of which approximately $107.4 million relates to Office Properties, outstanding at March 31, 2006.
Second, we invest in real estate businesses that offer returns equal to or superior to what we are able to achieve in our office investments. We develop and sell residential properties in resort locations primarily through Harry Frampton and his East West Partners development team with the most significant project in terms of future cash flow being our investment in Tahoe Mountain Resorts in California. This development encompasses more than 2,500 total lots and units, of which 372 have been sold, 68 are currently in inventory and over 2,130 are scheduled for development over the next 14 years, and is expected to generate in excess of $4.6 billion in sales. We expect our investment in Tahoe to be a long-term source of earnings and cash flow growth as new projects are designed and developed. We view our resort residential developments as a business and believe that, beyond the net present value of existing projects, there is value in our strategic relationships with the development teams and our collective ability to identify and develop new projects.
In 2005, we also completed the recapitalization of our Canyon Ranch investment. We believe Canyon Ranch is well positioned for significant growth, with a large portion of this growth over the near term coming from the addition of several Canyon Ranch Living communities. The focal point of these communities is a large, comprehensive wellness facility. Canyon Ranch will partner with developers on these projects and earn fees for the licensing of the brand name, design and technical services, and the ongoing management of the facilities. Canyon Ranch currently has one such development under construction in Miami Beach, has finalized an agreement that will pave the way for the development of a Canyon Ranch Living community in Bethesda, Maryland, and others are under consideration or in negotiation.

Joint Venture
Parkway at Oakhill
On March 31, 2006, we entered into a joint venture arrangement, C-C Parkway Austin, L.P. (Parkway), with Champion Partners. The joint venture has committed to co-develop a 144,000 square-foot, two-building office complex in Austin, Texas. The venture is structured such that we own a 90% interest and Champion Partners owns the remaining 10% interest. In connection with the joint venture, Parkway entered into a maximum $18.3 million construction loan with JPMorgan Chase Bank. Our equity commitment to the joint venture was $8.2 million, of which $3.7 million was funded on March 31, 2006. The development, which is currently underway, is scheduled for delivery in 2007. Upon completion, we will manage the property on behalf of the joint venture.

Mezzanine Investments
The following table presents mezzanine loans entered into in 2006. These loans are reflected in the "Notes receivable, net" line item in the consolidated financial statements. Mezzanine loans are loans that are subordinate to a conventional first mortgage loan and senior to the borrower's equity in a transaction. These loans may be in the form of a junior participating interest in the senior debt or in the form of loans to the direct or indirect parent of the property owner secured by pledges of ownership interests in entities that directly or indirectly control the real property or subordinated loans secured by second mortgage liens on the property.

As of March 31, 2006, we had approximately $137.4 million of mezzanine investments outstanding which mature in 2006 through 2010 and had a weighted average interest rate of 12.44%.

2006 Operating Performance
Office Segment
The following table shows the performance factors on stabilized properties, excluding properties held for sale, used by management to assess the operating performance of the Office Segment:

Economic Occupancy (1) (at March 31 and December 31) | 88.2 | % | 88.5 | % | ||||
Leased Occupancy (2) (at March 31 and December 31) | 90.6 | % | 90.8 | % | ||||
In-Place Weighted Average Full-Service Rental Rate (3) (at March 31 and December 31) | $ | 22.82 | $ | 22.48 | ||||

Same-Store NOI (5) (Decline) (three months ended March 31) | (4.9 | )% | (0.3 | )% | ||||
Same-Store Average Occupancy (three months ended March 31) | 88.3 | % | 87.6 | % |
(1) | Economic occupancy reflects the occupancy of all tenants paying rent. | |
(2) | Leased occupancy reflects the amount of contractually obligated space, whether or not commencement has occurred. | |
(3) | Calculated based on base rent payable at March 31, 2006, giving effect to free rent and scheduled rent increases and including adjustments for expenses payable by or reimbursable from tenants. The weighted average full-service rental rate for the El Paso lease reflects weighted average full-service rental rate over the shortened term and excludes the impact of the net lease termination fee being recognized ratably to income through December 31, 2007. | |
(4) | Reflects leases executed during the period. | |
(5) | Same-store NOI (net operating income) represents office property net income excluding depreciation, amortization, interest expense and non-recurring items such as lease termination fees for Office Properties owned for the entirety of the comparable periods. |
For the remainder of 2006, we expect continued improvement in the economy. This allows us to remain cautiously optimistic about economic occupancy gains in 2006. We expect that the 2006 ending economic occupancy for our portfolio will increase to approximately 90% - 91%.
Resort Residential Development Segment

CRDI, which invests primarily in mountain residential real estate in Colorado and California and residential real estate in downtown Denver, Colorado, is highly dependent upon the national economy and customer demand. For 2006, management expects that unit sales will decrease to 110-140 and lot sales will decrease to 375-425 due to the number of units and lots completed and available for sale as compared to 2005, but the average sales price will increase at CRDI due to product mix, with approximately 74% closed or pre-sold as of April 15, 2006.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2006 to the three months ended March 31, 2005.
Property Revenues
Total property revenues increased $55.4 million, or 30.2%, to $238.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to $183.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The primary components of the increase in total property revenues are discussed below.
• | Office Property revenues increased $10.7 million, or 12.0%, to $99.7 million, primarily due to: |
§ | an increase of $9.2 million in net lease termination fees (from $(0.1) million to $9.1 million) primarily due to the El Paso lease termination and related re-leasing; | ||
§ | an increase of $2.3 million from the acquisition of the Exchange Building in February 2005 and Financial Plaza in January 2006; | ||
§ | an increase of $0.9 million from the 51 consolidated Office Properties (excluding 2005 and 2006 acquisitions and dispositions) that we owned or had an interest in, primarily due to a 0.9 percentage point increase in average occupancy (from 86.9% to 87.8%), increased expense recovery revenue related to the increase in occupancy and increased recoverable expenses, and increased parking revenue; partially offset by a decline in full service weighted average rental rates; and | ||
§ | an increase of $0.4 million resulting from third party management and leasing services and related direct expense reimbursements due to the joint ventures of Fulbright Tower in February 2005 and One Buckhead Plaza in June 2005; partially offset by | ||
§ | a decrease of $2.8 million due to the joint venture Fulbright Tower in February 2005. |
• | Resort Residential Development Property revenues increased $44.7 million, or 82.2%, to $99.1 million, primarily due to: |
§ | an increase of $48.6 million in CRDI revenues related to product mix in lots and units available for sale in 2006 versus 2005, primarily at Hummingbird Lodge in Bachelor Gulch, Colorado, Northstar Village in Lake Tahoe, California, and Gray's Crossing in Lake Tahoe, California, which had sales in the three months ended March 31, 2006, but reduced or no sales in the same period in 2005; partially offset by the Horizon Pass project in Bachelor Gulch, Colorado and the Eagle Ranch project in Eagle, Colorado which had sales in the three months ended March 31, 2005, but reduced or no sales in the same period in 2006. |
• | Resort/Hotel Property revenues remained constant, primarily attributable to: |
§ | an increase of $1.7 million in room revenue at the Luxury Resort and Spa Properties primarily related to a 13% increase in revenue per available room (from $248 to $281) resulting from an increase of 5% in average daily rate (from $390 to $408) and a 5 percentage point increase in occupancy (from 64% to 69%); | ||
§ | an increase of $1.1 million in food and beverage, spa and other revenue at the Luxury Resort and Spa Properties primarily at Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn due to a 16 percentage point increase in occupancy (from 49% to 65%) primarily due to an increase in group business; | ||
§ | an increase of $1.2 million in room revenue at the Business Class Hotel Properties primarily related to a 20% increase in revenue per available room (from $86 to $103) resulting from a 12% increase in average daily rate (from $121 to $135) and a 5 percentage point increase in occupancy (from 71% to 76%); and | ||
§ | an increase of $0.6 million in food and beverage and other revenue at the Business Class Hotel Properties primarily related to the increase in occupancy mentioned above; offset by | ||
§ | a decrease of $4.6 million due to the contribution of the Canyon Ranch ® Properties to a newly formed entity, CR Operating, LLC, in which we have a 48% member interest that is accounted for as an unconsolidated investment. |
37
Property Expenses
Total property expenses increased $45.3 million, or 35.7%, to $172.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to $127.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The primary components of the increase in total property expenses are discussed below.
• | Office Property expenses increased $4.7 million, or 10.1%, to $51.1 million, primarily due to: |
§ | an increase of $2.2 million in operating expenses of the 51 consolidated Office Properties (excluding 2005 and 2006 acquisitions and dispositions) that we owned or had an interest in primarily due to increased utilities, general building and cleaning expense; | ||
§ | an increase of $1.4 million in lease termination expense related to the termination of a tenant retail lease at Hughes Center; | ||
§ | an increase of $1.0 million from the acquisition of the Exchange Building in February 2005 and Financial Plaza in January 2006; | ||
§ | an increase of $0.8 million due to increased payroll and benefit costs; and | ||
§ | an increase of $0.7 million related to the cost of providing third-party management services due to the joint venture of Fulbright Tower in February 2005 and One Buckhead Plaza in June 2005, which are recouped by increased third party fee income and direct expense reimbursements; partially offset by | ||
§ | a decrease of $1.6 million due to the joint venture of Fulbright Tower in February 2005. |
• | Resort Residential Development Property expenses increased $42.9 million, or 87.9%, to $91.7 million, primarily due to: |
§ | an increase of $46.8 million in CRDI cost of sales related to product mix in lots and units available for sale in 2006 versus 2005, primarily at Hummingbird Lodge in Bachelor Gulch, Colorado, Northstar Village in Lake Tahoe, California and Gray's Crossing in Lake Tahoe, California, which had sales in the three months ended March 31, 2006, but reduced or no sales in the same period in 2005; partially offset by the Horizon Pass project in Bachelor Gulch, Colorado and the Eagle Ranch project in Eagle, Colorado which had sales in the three months ended March 31, 2005, but reduced or no sales in the same period 2006. |
• | Resort/Hotel Property expenses decreased $2.3 million, or 7.2%, to $29.5 million, primarily due to: |
§ | a decrease of $4.0 million due to the contribution, in January 2005, of the Canyon Ranch Properties to a newly formed entity, CR Operating, LLC, in which we have a 48% member interest that is accounted for as an unconsolidated investment; partially offset by | ||
§ | an increase of $1.8 million in operating expenses at the Luxury Resort and Spa Properties primarily due to a 16 percentage point increase in occupancy at Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn (from 49% to 65%) primarily due to an increase in group business. |
Other Income/Expense
Total other income and expenses increased $8.5 million, or 13.6%, to $70.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $62.4 million for three months ended March 31, 2005. The primary components of the increase in total other income and expenses are discussed below.
Other Income
Other income decreased $1.8 million, or 9.4%, to $17.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to $19.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The primary components of the decrease in other income are discussed below.
• | Equity in net income of unconsolidated companies decreased $8.4 million to $1.6 million primarily due to: |
§ | a decrease of $6.1 million in Other equity in net income primarily attributable to a decrease of income from the G2 investment; | ||
§ | a decrease of $2.3 million in Resort/Hotel equity in net income primarily attributable to Canyon Ranch Living Miami license fees recognized at CR Operating, LLC in the first quarter 2005; and | ||
§ | a decrease of $1.2 million in Office equity in net income primarily attributable to a 1.3 percentage point decline in occupancy at our joint-ventured properties, the disposition of Five Houston Center in December 2005 and a decline in net income from Bank One Center and Fulbright Tower due to increase in variable interest expense, partially offset by the joint venture of One Buckhead Plaza in June 2005; partially offset by | ||
§ | an increase of $0.8 million in Temperature-Controlled Logistics equity in net income primarily attributable to a gain on sale of one facility in the first quarter 2006. |
38
• | Income from investment land sales decreased $3.5 million due to the gain on the sale of 1.58 acres of undeveloped investment land in Houston, Texas in March 2005. | ||
• | Interest and other income increased $10.6 million to $15.9 million primarily due to $10.1 million increase related to interest from mezzanine loans which includes approximately $6.2 million in prepayment fees on two mezzanine loans that were paid off in first quarter 2006. |
Other Expenses
Other expenses increased $6.7 million, or 8.2%, to $88.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $81.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The primary components of the increase in other expenses are discussed below.
• | Corporate general and administrative costs increased $4.5 million, or 43.7%, to $14.8 million due primarily to an increase in compensation expense associated with restricted units granted under our long-term incentive compensation plans in December 2004 and May 2005 and payroll and benefit costs. | ||
• | Depreciation and amortization costs increased $2.4 million, or 7.1%, to $36.4 million due to a $1.8 million increase in Office Property depreciation expense, primarily due to : |
§ | $1.6 million increase primarily due to increased building and leasehold improvements; and | ||
§ | $0.8 million increase from the acquisition of the Exchange Building in February 2005 and Financial Plaza in January 2006; partially offset by | ||
§ | $0.6 million decrease attributable to the joint venture of Fulbright Tower in February 2005. |
• | Extinguishment of debt expense decreased $1.4 million due to the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the reduction of the Bank of America Fund XII Term Loan and the payoff of the old credit facility in February 2005. |
Discontinued Operations
Income from discontinued operations on assets sold and held for sale decreased $3.1 million to $0.1 million due to:
• | a decrease of $1.7 million, net of minority interest, due to the reduction of net income associated with properties held for sale in 2006 compared to 2005; and | ||
• | a decrease of $1.4 million, net of minority interest, primarily due to the $1.5 million gain on the sale of Albuquerque Plaza in February 2005. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations, our credit facility, and proceeds from asset sales and joint ventures. Our short-term liquidity requirements through March 31, 2007, consist primarily of our normal operating expenses, principal and interest payments on our debt, distributions to our shareholders and capital expenditures. Our long-term liquidity requirements are substantially similar to our short-term liquidity requirements, other than the level of debt obligations maturing after March 31, 2007.
Short-Term Liquidity
We believe that cash flow from operations will be sufficient to cover our normal operating expenses, interest payments on our debt, distributions on our preferred shares, non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures and revenue enhancing capital expenditures (including property improvements, tenant improvements and leasing commissions) in 2006 and 2007. The cash flow from our Resort Residential Development Segment is cyclical in nature and primarily realized in the last quarter of each year. We expect to meet temporary shortfalls in operating cash flow caused by this cyclicality through working capital draws under our credit facility. As of March 31, 2006, we had up to $155.0 million of borrowing capacity available under our credit facility. However, if our Board of Trustees continues to declare distributions on our common shares at current levels, our cash flow from operations, after payments discussed above, is not expected to fully cover such distributions on our common shares in 2006 and 2007. We intend to use proceeds from asset sales and joint ventures, additional leverage on assets, and borrowings under our credit facility to cover this shortfall.
39
In addition, through March 31, 2007, we expect to make capital expenditures that are not in the ordinary course of operations of our business of approximately $230.7 million, primarily relating to new developments of investment property. We anticipate funding these short-term liquidity requirements primarily through construction loans and borrowings under our credit facility or additional debt facilities. As of March 31, 2006, we also had maturing debt obligations of $70.6 million through March 31, 2007, made up primarily of the maturity of the Mass Mutual Note which we intend to refinance with a new fixed rate loan. In addition, $24.8 million of these maturing debt obligations relate to the Resort Residential Development Segment and will be repaid with the sales of the corresponding land or units or will be refinanced. The remaining maturities consist primarily of normal principal amortization and will be met with cash flow from operations.
Long-Term Liquidity
Our long-term liquidity requirements as of March 31, 2006, consist primarily of $2.1 billion of debt maturing after March 31, 2007. We also have $157.6 million of expected long-term capital expenditures relating to capital investments that are not in the ordinary course of operations of our business. We anticipate meeting these obligations primarily through refinancing maturing debt with long-term secured and unsecured debt, construction loans and through other debt and equity financing alternatives, as well as cash proceeds from asset sales and joint ventures.
We anticipate that long-term liquidity requirements will also include amounts required for future unidentified property acquisitions, mezzanine investments and capital expenditures. Property acquisitions and capital expenditures are expected to be funded with available cash flow from operations, borrowings under our credit facility, construction and permanent secured financing, other debt and equity financing alternatives, as well as cash proceeds from asset sales and joint ventures. Mezzanine investments are expected to be funded with borrowings under our credit facility and through the use of our warehouse facilities governed by repurchase agreements.
Cash Flows
Our cash flow from operations is primarily attributable to the operations of our Office, Resort Residential Development and Resort/Hotel Properties. The level of our cash flow depends on multiple factors, including rental rates and occupancy rates at our Office Properties, sales of lots and units at our Resort Residential Development Properties and room rates and occupancy rates at our Resort/Hotel Properties. Our net cash provided by operating activities is also affected by the level of our operating and other expenses, as well as Resort Residential capital expenditures for existing projects.
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, our cash flow from operations was insufficient to fully cover the distributions on our common shares. We funded this shortfall primarily with a combination of proceeds from asset sales and joint ventures, proceeds from investment land sales and borrowings under our credit facility.

Operating Activities
Our cash provided by operating activities of $16.4 million is attributable to Property operations.
Investing Activities
Our cash provided by investing activities of $123.3 million is primarily attributable to:
• | $163.9 million proceeds from defeasance investment maturities and other securities, primarily due to the maturity of the securities securing the LaSalle Note II which was repaid in March 2006; | ||
• | $30.8 million decrease in notes receivable, primarily due to the repayment of approximately $50.2 million for two mezzanine loans, partially offset by a new $15.0 million mezzanine loan entered into in January 2006; | ||
• | $24.3 million proceeds from property sales due the sale of Waterside Commons Office Property in February 2006; and | ||
• | $5.5 million return of investment in unconsolidated companies, primarily due to the distribution received from Redtail Capital Partners, L.P. |
40
The cash provided by investing activities is partially offset by:
• | $34.3 million for the development of investment properties, due to the development of the JPI Multi-Family Investments luxury apartments, Paseo del Mar office development, Ritz-Carlton Hotel development and 3883 Hughes Parkway office development; | ||
• | $30.7 million for the acquisition of investment properties, primarily due to the acquisition of the Financial Plaza Office Property in January 2006; | ||

• | $4.1 million for development of amenities at the Resort Residential Development Properties; and | ||
• | $0.6 million increase in restricted cash. |
Financing Activities
Our cash used in financing activities of $135.4 million is primarily attributable to:
• | $168.1 million payments under other borrowings, primarily due to the pay off of the LaSalle Note II funded by proceeds from the maturity of defeasance investments; | ||
• | $85.0 million payments under our credit facility; | ||
• | $54.9 million Resort Residential Development Property note payments; | ||
• | $46.9 million distributions to common shareholders and unitholders; | ||
• | $8.0 million distributions to preferred shareholders; | ||
• | $7.3 million capital distributions to joint venture partners; and | ||
• | $1.4 million debt financing costs, primarily due to the Bank of America loan secured by the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn. |
The cash used in financing activities is partially offset by:
• | $105.4 million proceeds from other borrowings, primarily due to the Bank of America loan secured by the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn, the Morgan Stanley repurchase agreement secured by a mezzanine loan and construction draws on our Office developments and the Ritz-Carlton hotel development; | ||
• | $65.0 million proceeds from borrowings under our credit facility; | ||
• | $55.2 million proceeds from borrowings for construction costs at the Resort Residential Development Properties; | ||
• | $5.7 million proceeds from capital contributions from our joint venture partners; and | ||
• | $4.8 million proceeds from the exercise of share and unit options. |

The development plans include a Ritz-Carlton with approximately 217 hotel rooms and 70 residences. Construction on the development is anticipated for delivery in the third quarter of 2007. We have a $175.0 million construction line of credit from Key Bank for the construction of this project. | |
(10) | We are in negotiations with Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. to develop additional Ritz-Carlton condominiums and townhouse style residences adjacent to the Phase I development. Construction on the development is anticipated for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2008. |

Units Subject to Redemption
Restricted units granted under the 2004 and 2005 Unit Plans vest in 20% increments when the average closing price of Crescent common shares for the preceding 40 trading days achieves certain targets. Each vested restricted unit will be exchangeable, beginning on the second anniversary of the date of grant, for cash equal to the value of two Crescent common shares based on the closing price of the common shares on the date of exchange, and subject to a six-month hold period following vesting, unless, prior to the date of the exchange, Crescent requests and obtains shareholder approval authorizing it, at its discretion, to deliver instead two common shares in exchange for each such restricted unit. Regular quarterly distributions accrue on unvested restricted units and are payable upon vesting of the restricted units.
The following table presents the amount of restricted unit grants, vested restricted units and the redemption amount by year.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements - Guarantee Commitments
Our guarantees in place as of March 31, 2006, are listed in the table below. For the guarantees on indebtedness, no triggering events or conditions are anticipated to occur that would require payment under the guarantees and management believes the assets associated with the loans that are guaranteed are sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of future payments and therefore, would not require us to provide additional collateral to support the guarantees.

Other Commitments
In July 2005, we purchased comprehensive insurance that covers us, contactors and other parties involved in the construction of the Ritz-Carlton hotel and condominium project in Dallas, Texas. Our insurance carrier, which will pay the associated claims as they occur under this program and will be reimbursed by us within our deductibles, requires us to provide a $1.7 million letter of credit supporting payment of claims. We believe there is a remote likelihood that payment will be required under the letter of credit.

(2) | Includes a portion of total premiums of $3.4 million reflecting market value of debt acquired with the purchase of Hughes Center portfolio. | |
(3) | We purchased U.S. Treasuries and government sponsored agency securities, or defeasance investments, to substitute as collateral for these loans. The cash flow from defeasance investments (principal and interest) matches the total debt service payment of the loans. | |
(4) | This loan has three one-year extension options. | |
(5) | This loan has one one-year extension options. | |
(6) | The loans supporting this facility are subject to daily valuations by Morgan Stanley and us and are subject to a margin call if the overall leverage of the facility exceeds certain thresholds. | |
(7) | This loan has two one-year extension options. | |
(8) | Our partner provides a full guarantee of this loan. | |
(9) | The Credit Facility has a maximum potential capacity of $400.0 million. The $214.0 million outstanding at March 31, 2006, excludes letters of credit issued under the facility of $13.8 million. We are also subject to financial covenants, which include minimum debt service ratios, maximum leverage ratios and, in the case of the Operating Partnership, a minimum tangible net worth limitation and a fixed charge coverage ratio. | |
(10) | The overall weighted average interest rate does not include the effect of our cash flow hedge agreements. Including the effect of these agreements, the overall weighted average interest rate would have been 6.97%. |
44
We are generally obligated by our debt agreements to comply with financial covenants, affirmative covenants and negative covenants, or some combination of these types of covenants. The financial covenants to which we are subject include, among others, leverage ratios, debt service coverage ratios and limitations on total indebtedness. The affirmative covenants to which we are subject under our debt agreements include, among others, provisions requiring us to comply with all laws relating to operation of any Properties securing the debt, maintenance of those Properties in good repair and working order, and maintaining adequate insurance and providing timely financial information. The negative covenants under our debt agreements generally restrict our ability to transfer or pledge assets or incur additional debt at a subsidiary level, limit our ability to engage in transactions with affiliates and place conditions on our or our subsidiaries' ability to make distributions.
Failure to comply with covenants generally will result in an event of default under that debt instrument. Any uncured or unwaived events of default under our loans can trigger an increase in interest rates, an acceleration of payment on the loan in default, and for our secured debt, foreclosure on the property securing the debt, and could cause the credit facility to become unavailable to us. In addition, an event of default by us or any of our subsidiaries with respect to any indebtedness in excess of $5.0 million generally will result in an event of default under the Credit Facility, the 2007 Notes, 2009 Notes and the Key Bank Construction Loan, Morgan Stanley II Loan and Societe Generale Construction Loan, after the notice and cure periods for the other indebtedness have passed. As a result, any uncured or unwaived event of default could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or liquidity.
Our secured debt facilities generally prohibit loan prepayment for an initial period, allow prepayment with a penalty during a following specified period and allow prepayment without penalty after the expiration of that period. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, there were no circumstances that required prepayment penalties or increased collateral related to our existing debt.
Warehouse Facilities
We finance certain of our mezzanine loans through the use of warehouse facilities governed by repurchase agreements. A repurchase agreement is a financing under which we pledge one or more of our mezzanine investments as collateral to secure a loan with the repurchase agreement counterparty (i.e. lender). The amount borrowed under a repurchase agreement is limited to a specified percentage, generally not more than 75%, of the estimated market value of the pledged collateral. Repurchase agreements take the form of a sale of the pledged collateral to a lender at an agreed upon price in return for such lender's simultaneous agreement to resell the same securities back to the borrower at a future date (i.e. the maturity of the borrowing), with periodic interest payments during the term of the sale. The cost of borrowings under repurchase agreements generally corresponds to LIBOR plus a margin. Under our repurchase agreements, we retain beneficial ownership of the pledged collateral, while the lender maintains custody of such collateral. At the maturity of a repurchase agreement, we are required to repay the loan, which may be due in installments over a one-year period, and receive back our pledged collateral from the lender or, at the sole discretion of the lender, we may renew such agreement. Under repurchase agreements, a lender may require us to pledge additional assets to such lender (i.e. a margin call) in the event that the lender determines the estimated fair value of our existing pledged collateral has declined below a specified percentage. Our pledged collateral fluctuates in value due to, among other things, market changes in interest rates and matters affecting the real estate underlying certain pledged collateral.
In order to reduce our exposure to counterparty-related risk, our goal is to enter into repurchase agreements with multiple financial institutions, all of whom have investment-grade long-term debt ratings. As of March 31, 2006, we had outstanding repurchase obligations under one repurchase agreement totaling $21.0 million with a weighted average borrowing rate of 6.83%.
Unconsolidated Debt Arrangements
As of March 31, 2006, the total debt of the unconsolidated joint ventures and investments in which we have ownership interests was $2.1 billion, of which our share was $647.3 million. We guaranteed $4.3 million of this debt as of March 31, 2006. Additional information relating to our unconsolidated debt financing arrangements is contained in Note 8, "Investments in Unconsolidated Companies," of Item 1, "Financial Statements."
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We use derivative financial instruments to convert a portion of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt and to manage the fixed to variable rate debt ratio. As of March 31, 2006, we had interest rate swaps and interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges, which converted $230.4 million of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. During the first quarter 2006, two interest rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $200.0 million expired. In April 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap struck at 5.20% to hedge 75% of our anticipated draws on our Ritz-Carlton construction loan.

Significant Accounting Policies
Critical Accounting Policies
A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. There have been no significant changes to these policies during 2006.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
SFAS No. 123R. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 123R (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment . The new FASB rule requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. We were required to apply SFAS No. 123R beginning January 1, 2006. The scope of SFAS No. 123R includes a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation , and supersedes Accounting Principles Board, or APB, Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees . SFAS No. 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in Opinion No. 25, as long as the footnotes to the financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used. Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the fair value expense recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 on a prospective basis. We adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective application method which requires, among other things, that we recognize compensation cost for all awards outstanding at January 1, 2006, for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered. Additionally, our prior interim periods and fiscal years do not reflect any restated amounts due to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. We estimate an additional $1.4 million and $0.2 million of expense will be recorded in 2006 and 2007, respectively, for stock and unit options due to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R.
EITF 04-5. At its June 2005 meeting, the Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, reached a consensus regarding Issue No. 04-5 (EITF 04-5), Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights . EITF 04-5 was effective immediately for all newly-formed limited partnerships and for existing limited partnership agreements that are modified. The guidance is effective for existing limited-partnership agreements that are not modified no later than the beginning of the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The guidance provides a framework for addressing the question of when a general partner, as defined in EITF 04-5, should consolidate a limited partnership. The EITF has concluded that the general partner of a limited partnership should consolidate a limited partnership unless (1) the limited partners possess substantive kick-out rights as defined in paragraph B20 of FIN 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities , or (2) the limited partners possess substantive participating rights similar to the rights described in Issue 96-16, Investor's Accounting for an Investee When the Investor has a Majority of the Voting Interest but the Minority Shareholder or Shareholders have Certain Approval or Veto Rights . The FASB has amended Statement of Position 78-9, Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures, and EITF 96-16, to conform and align with the guidelines set forth in EITF 04-5. There was no impact to our financial condition or results of operations from the adoption of EITF 04-5.

We calculate FFO available to common shareholders – diluted in the same manner, except that Net Income (Loss) is replaced by Net Income (Loss) Available to Common Shareholders and we include the effect of operating partnership unitholder minority interests.
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, developed FFO as a relative measure of performance and liquidity of an equity REIT to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. We consider FFO available to common shareholders – diluted and FFO appropriate measures of performance for an equity REIT and for its investment segments. However, FFO available to common shareholders - diluted and FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indication of our operating performance.
Accordingly, we believe that to facilitate a clear understanding of our consolidated historical operating results, FFO available to common shareholders - diluted should be considered in conjunction with our net income and cash flows reported in the consolidated financial statements and notes to the financial statements. However, our measure of FFO available to common shareholders – diluted may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs because these REITs may apply the definition of FFO in a different manner than we apply it.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
No material changes in our market risk occurred from December 31, 2005 through March 31, 2006. Information regarding our market risk at March 31, 2006, is contained in Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, such as this report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. These controls and procedures are based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Rules adopted by the SEC require that we present the conclusions of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer about the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, and effected by our employees, including management and our Board of Trust Managers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This process includes policies and procedures that:
• | pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets in reasonable detail; |
• | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with the authorization procedures we have established; and |
• | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of any of our assets in circumstances that could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements. |
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. In designing and evaluating our control system, management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, that may affect our operations have been detected.
These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management's override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that our design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, our current controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions that cannot be anticipated at the present time, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
50
Scope of the Evaluation. The evaluations by our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting included a review of procedures and our internal audit, as well as discussions with our Disclosure Committee, independent public accountants and others in our organization, as appropriate. In conducting the evaluation, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. In the course of the evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, were being undertaken. The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is done on a quarterly basis, so that the conclusions concerning the effectiveness of such controls can be reported in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K. Our internal control over financial reporting is also assessed on an ongoing basis by personnel in our accounting department and by our independent auditors in connection with their audit and review activities.
The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting and to make modifications as necessary. Our intent in this regard is that the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will be maintained and updated (including with improvements and corrections) as conditions warrant. Among other matters, we sought in our evaluation to determine whether there were any "significant deficiencies" or "material weaknesses" in our internal control over financial reporting, or whether we had identified any acts of fraud involving personnel who have a significant role in our internal control over financial reporting. This information is important both for the evaluation generally and because the Section 302 certifications require that our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer disclose that information to the Audit Committee of our Board of Trust Managers and our independent auditors and also require us to report on related matters in this section of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's Auditing Standard No. 2, a "significant deficiency" is a "control deficiency," or a combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the ability to initiate, authorize, record, process or report external financial data reliably in accordance with GAAP such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.
Periodic Evaluation and Conclusion of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that such controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. We made no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2006, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following updates certain disclosure from Item 1A. Risk Factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, and should be read in conjunction with those risk factors.
The use of repurchase agreements to fund our mezzanine investments exposes us to risks.
We finance certain of our mezzanine loans through the use of warehouse facilities governed by repurchase agreements. We sell those mezzanine loans financed through a warehouse facility to a counterparty and agree to repurchase the same loans at a price equal to the original sales price plus periodic interest payments. Our repurchase agreement counterparties are commercial and investment banks. During the term of the repurchase agreement, we receive the principal and interest payments on the related mezzanine loan and pay interest to the counterparty. The use of this type of leverage to finance our mezzanine investments involves a number of risks, including the following:
If we are unable to renew our borrowings at favorable rates, it may force us to sell assets or find other financing and our profitability may be adversely affected. We intend to continue to maintain formal relationships with multiple repurchase agreement counterparties for the purpose of obtaining financing in sufficient amounts and on favorable terms. However, if we are not able to renew or replace maturing borrowings, we would be forced to sell some of our assets under possibly adverse market conditions, which may adversely affect our profitability.
51
A decline in the market value of the pool of assets in the warehouse facility may result in margin calls that may force us to sell assets under adverse market conditions. The market value of a pool of assets in a warehouse facility is valued by the lender in order to determine the advance rate, and to ensure adequate collateral secures the advances under the repurchase agreement. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by us may decline and that we will be required to post additional collateral, reduce the amount borrowed or suffer forced sales of the collateral. If forced sales were made at prices lower than the carrying value of the collateral, we would experience additional losses.
If a mezzanine loan defaults, we will not be able to fund the repurchase of the loan from our warehouse facility or the stabilization of the property by drawings under our credit facility which could cause liquidity concerns. If a default occurs under one of our mezzanine loans and, if financed under our warehouse facilities, it may need to be repurchased from the warehouse lender on two business days notice. If we do not have sufficient liquidity under our credit facility for funds to repurchase these loans, the counterparty may foreclose on all of the pledged assets in the facility. Even if, following a default on a mezzanine loan, we are able to foreclose on the collateral, which is a direct or indirect equity interests in an entity owning real property, we may need to commit substantial additional capital to stabilize the property and prevent defaults on other loans outstanding on the real property.
Our use of repurchase agreements to borrow money may give our lenders greater rights in the event of bankruptcy. Borrowings made under repurchase agreements may qualify for special treatment under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, which may make it difficult for us to recover our pledged assets if a lender files for bankruptcy. In addition, if we were to file for bankruptcy, lenders under our repurchase agreements may be able to avoid the automatic stay provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and take possession of, and liquidate, the assets we pledged under these agreements without the delay associated with the automatic stay.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we issued an aggregate of 103,200 common shares to holders of Operating Partnership units in exchange for 51,600 units. Of the common shares issued, 3,200 were issued on January 11, 2006, and 100,000 were issued on January 20, 2006. The issuances of common shares were exempt from registration as private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. We have registered the resale of such common shares under the Securities Act.
Item 5. Other Information
Determination of Bonus Plan Performance Criteria for 2006 . The Compensation Committee of the General Partner administers our Annual Incentive Compensation Plan For Select Employees of Crescent Real Estate Equities, Ltd., which we refer to as the Bonus Plan. On February 17, 2006, the Compensation Committee established (i) the positions covered by the Bonus Plan for 2006, (ii) the minimum and maximum annual incentive opportunity or bonus that the individual holding each position is eligible to earn for 2006, and (iii) the performance necessary to earn each level of bonus in three components. One of these components, the Corporate component, provides for a certain portion of the bonus to be paid based upon our achievement of thresholds relating to (i) total return to the our shareholders as compared to total return to shareholders of REITs in a peer group index or (ii) our operating performance for the year as measured by our funds from operations. Most positions also are assigned a second component, the Functional Unit component, which provides for a certain portion of the bonus to be earned upon the achievement of individualized measures of functional unit performance. For each officer, a third component, the Individual component, provides for a certain portion of the officer's bonus to be earned based upon an evaluation of the officer's individual performance for the year.
The Compensation Committee determined that each of our executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer, who is not eligible to participate in the Bonus Plan) was eligible to receive bonuses for 2006 performance. The maximum bonus for which these executive officers are eligible under the Bonus Plan ranges from 100% to 150% of their annual base salaries.
Increases in Salary for Certain Named Executive Officers. On February 17, 2006, the General Partner approved increases in salaries for certain of our officers. The amount of the 2006 annual salary for such Named Executive Officers is as follows:
Named Executive Officer | Salary | |||
Kenneth S. Moczulski | $ | 385,000 | ||
Jane E. Mody | $ | 385,000 | ||
Jerry R. Crenshaw, Jr. | $ | 365,000 |
