WASHINGTON REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012MARCH 31, 2013
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS
Washington Real Estate Investment Trust (“We” or “WRIT”WRIT”), a Maryland real estate investment trust, is a self-administered, self-managed equity real estate investment trust, successor to a trust organized in 1960. Our business consists of the ownership and developmentoperation of income-producing real estate properties in the greater Washington metro region. We own a diversified portfolio of office buildings, medical office buildings, multifamily buildings and retail centers.
Federal Income Taxes
We believe that we qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code and intend to continue to qualify as such. To maintain our status as a REIT, we are required to distribute 90% of our ordinary taxable income to our shareholders. When selling properties, we have the option of (a) reinvesting the sales proceeds of properties sold, allowing for a deferral of income taxes on the sale, (b) paying out capital gains to the shareholders with no tax to WRIT or (c) treating the capital gains as having been distributed to the shareholders, paying the tax on the gain deemed distributed and allocating the tax paid as a credit to the shareholders. During the 2013 Quarter, we sold the Atrium Building, an office property, for a contract sales price of $15.8 million, and the capital gain from the sale is expected to be treated as a distribution to shareholders.
Generally, and subject to our ongoing qualification as a REIT, no provisions for income taxes are necessary except for taxes on undistributed REIT taxable income and taxes on the income generated by our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). Our TRSs are subject to corporate federal and state income tax on their taxable income at regular statutory rates. There were no material income tax provisions or material net deferred income tax items for our TRSs for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Significant Accounting Policies
We have prepared our consolidated financial statements using the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20112012.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement, which requires new disclosures about fair value measurements. Specifically, additional disclosures are required regarding significant unobservable inputs used for Level 3 fair value measurements, a company's valuation process, transfers between Levels 1 and 2 and hierarchy classifications for items whose fair value is not recorded on the balance sheet, but disclosed in the notes. For WRIT, the primary impact of this ASU was to require disclosure of the hierarchy classifications (Level 1, 2 or 3) for our disclosures of the fair values of financial instruments in our notes to the consolidated financial statements. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2012.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income, which requires the presentation of comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU eliminates the option of presenting the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders' equity. This ASU is effective for fiscal years (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2012 with the presentation of a separate statement of comprehensive income.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of WRIT, itsour majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which WRIT has a controlling interest, including where WRIT has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). See note 3 for additional information on the properties for which there is a noncontrolling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In addition, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been included. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20112012.
Within these notes to the financial statements, we refer to the three months ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2011March 31, 2012

9


as the “2012“2013 Quarter” and the “2011“2012 Quarter,” respectively, and the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 as the “2012 Period” and the “2011 Period,” respectively.
Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
During the second quarter of 2012, we identified certain immaterial classification errors in our consolidated statements of income and have determined that in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and future periodic reports we will correct these reclassification errors by including within the subtotal “real estate operating income” impairment charges and acquisition costs, which had previously been included in “other income (expense).” These reclassifications totaled $1.6 million and $3.6 million for the 2011 Quarter and Period, respectively. These reclassifications decrease “real estate operating income” and increase “other income (expense)” by an equal and offsetting amount. As a result, these reclassifications did not change income from continuing operations, net income, cash flows or any other operating measure for the periods affected.
In addition, certainCertain prior year amounts have also been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation due to the reclassification of certain properties as discontinued operations (see note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).

June 21, 2012 Fairgate at Ballston Office 147,000
 $52,250

The results of operations from the acquired property are included in the consolidated statements of income as of its acquisition date. The difference in the contract purchase price and the cash paid for the acquisition per the consolidated statements of cash flows is due to credits received at settlement totaling $0.1 million.

Variable Interest Entities
OnIn June 15, 2011, we executed a joint venture operating agreement with a real estate development company to develop a mid-rise multifamily property at 650 North Glebe Road in Arlington, Virginia. We estimate the total cost of the project to be $49.049.9 million, withand, during the 2013 Quarter, secured third-party debt financing for approximately 70% of the project financed with debt.project's cost. WRIT is the 90% owner of the joint venture, and will have management and leasing responsibilities when the project is completed and stabilized (defined as 90% of the residential units leased). The real estate development company owns 10% of the joint venture and is responsible for the development and construction of the property. The joint venture currently expects to complete this development project during the fourth quarter of 2014.

OnIn November 23, 2011, we executed a joint venture operating agreement with a real estate development company to develop a high-rise multifamily property at 1225 First Street (formerly 1219 First Street) in Alexandria, Virginia. We estimate the total cost of the project to be $95.3 million, with approximately 70% of the project financed with debt. WRIT is the 95% owner of the joint venture and will have management and leasing responsibilities when the project is completed and stabilized. The real estate development company owns 5% of the joint venture and is responsible for the development and construction of the property. The joint venture currently expectsDuring the 2013 Quarter, we decided to completedelay commencement of construction due to market conditions and concerns of oversupply, and stopped capitalizing interest costs on this developmentproject. We will reassess this project during the fourth quarter of 2014.on a periodic basis going forward.

We have determined that the 650 North Glebe Road and 1225 First Street joint ventures are variable interest entities (“VIE's”) primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit either entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. We expect that 70% of the total development costs will be financed through debt. We have also determined that WRIT is the primary beneficiary of each VIE due to the fact that WRIT is providing 90% to 95% of the equity contributions and will manage each property after stabilization.
      
We include the joint venture land acquisitions on our consolidated balance sheets in properties under development or held for future development. As of September 30,

Discontinued Operations
We dispose of assets (sometimes using tax-deferred exchanges) that no longer meet our long-term strategy or return objectives and where market conditions for sale are favorable. The proceeds from the sales may be reinvested into other properties, used to fund development operations or to support other corporate needs, or distributed to our shareholders. Properties are considered held for sale when they meet the criteria specified by GAAP.(see "Discontinued Operations" in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements included in WRIT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012). Depreciation on these properties is discontinued at that time, but operating revenues, other operating expenses and interest continue to be recognized until the date of sale. During

NOTE 8: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, quantitative disclosures about the fair value measurements are required to be disclosed separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs
The only assets or liabilities we had at September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and December 31, 20112012 that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are the assets held in the Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (“SERP”). We base the valuations related to this asset on assumptions derived from significant other observable inputs and accordingly these valuations fall into Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair valuevalues of these assets at September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and December 31, 20112012 iswere as follows (in millions)thousands):

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value
The following disclosures of estimated fair value were determined by management using available market information and established valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow. Many of these estimates involve significant judgment. The estimated fair value disclosed may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts we could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies could have an effect on the estimated fair value amounts. In addition, fair value estimates are made at a point in time and thus, estimates of fair value subsequent to September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 may differ significantly from the amounts presented.
Following is a summary of significant methodologies used in estimating fair values and a schedule of fair values at September 30, 2012March 31, 2013.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash include cash and commercial paper with original maturities of less than 90 days, which are valued at the carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments (Level 1 inputs).
Notes Receivable
We acquired a note receivable ("2445 M Street note") in 2008 with the purchase of 2445 M Street. We estimate the fair value of the 2445 M Street note based on a discounted cash flow methodology using market discount rates (Level 3 inputs).
Debt
Mortgage notes payable consist of instruments in which certain of our real estate assets are used for collateral. We estimate the fair value of the mortgage notes payable by discounting the contractual cash flows at a rate equal to the relevant treasury rates (with respect to the timing of each cash flow) plus credit spreads estimated through independent comparisons to real estate assets or loans with similar characteristics. Lines of credit payable consist of bank facilities which we use for various purposes including working capital, acquisition funding or capital improvements. The lines of credit advances are priced at a specified rate plus a spread. We estimate the market value based on a comparison of the spreads of the advances to market given the adjustable base rate. We estimate the fair value of the notes payable by discounting the contractual cash flows at a rate equal to the relevant treasury rates (with respect to the timing of each cash flow) plus credit spreads derived using the relevant securities’ market prices. We classify these fair value measurements as Level 3 as we use significant unobservable inputs and management judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices.

NOTE 9: EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
We determine “Basic earnings per share” using the two-class method as our unvested restricted share awards have non-forfeitable rights to dividends, and are therefore considered participating securities. We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to the controlling interest less the allocation of undistributed earnings to unvested restricted share awards by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
We also determine “Diluted earnings per share” under the two-class method with respect to the unvested restricted share awards. We further evaluate any other potentially dilutive securities at the end of the period and adjust the basic earnings per share calculation for the impact of those securities that are dilutive. Our diluted earnings per share calculation includes the dilutive impact of employee stock options based on the treasury stock method and our incentive share awards with performance or market conditions under the contingently issuable method. The diluted earnings per share calculation also considers our operating partnership units and 3.875% convertible notes

12


under the if-converted method. The 3.875% convertible notes, which were repaid in full during the third quarter of 2011, were anti-dilutive for the reporting periods during which they were outstanding.

NOTE 10: SEGMENT INFORMATION
We have four reportable segments: office, medical office, retail and multifamily. Office buildings provide office space for various types of businesses and professions. Medical office buildings provide offices and facilities for a variety of medical services. Retail centers are typically neighborhood grocery store or drug store anchored retail centers. Multifamily properties provide rental housing for individuals and families throughout the Washington metropolitan area.
We evaluate performance based upon operating income from the combined properties in each segment. Our reportable operating segments are consolidations of similar properties. GAAP requires that segment disclosures present the measure(s) used by the chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing segments’ performance. Net operating income is a key measurement of our segment profit and loss. Net operating income is defined as segment real estate rental revenue less segment real estate expenses.

General
Introductory Matters
We provide our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) in addition to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to assist readers in understanding our results of operations and financial condition. We organize the MD&A as follows:
Overview. Discussion of our business, operating results, investment activity and capital requirements, and summary of our significant transactions to provide context for the remainder of MD&A;&A.
Results of Operations. Discussion of our financial results comparing the 20122013 Quarter to the 2011 Quarter and the 2012 Period to the 2011 Period;Quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. Discussion of our financial condition and analysis of changes in our capital structure and cash flows; andflows.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. Descriptions of accounting policies that reflect significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
When evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, we focus on the following financial and non-financial indicators:
Net operating income (“NOI”), calculated as real estate rental revenue less real estate expenses excluding depreciation and amortization interest expense and general and administrative expenses. NOI is a non-GAAP supplemental measure to net income;income.
Funds From Operations (“FFO”), calculated as set forth below under the caption “Funds from Operations.” FFO is a non-GAAP supplemental measure to net income;income.
Occupancy, calculated as occupied square footage as a percentage of total square footage as of the last day of that period;period.
Leased percentage, calculated as the percentage of available physical net rentable area leased for our commercial segments

19


and percentage of apartments leased for our multifamily segment;
Rental rates; andrates.
Leasing activity, including new leases, renewals and expirations.

15


For purposes of evaluating comparative operating performance, we categorize our properties as “same-store”,“same-store,” “non-same-store” or discontinued operations. A “same-store” property is one that was owned for the entirety of the periods being evaluated, is stabilized from an occupancy standpoint and is included in continuing operations. We consider newly constructed properties to be stabilized when they achieve 90% occupancy. A “non-same-store” property is one that was acquired or placed into service and not at 90% occupancy during either of the periods being evaluated or is not stabilized from an occupancy standpoint, and is included in continuing operations. ResultsWe classify results for properties sold or held for sale during any of the periods evaluated are classified as discontinued operations.
Overview
Business
Our revenues are derived primarily from the ownership and operation of income-producing properties in the greater Washington metro region. As of September 30, 2012March 31, 2013, we owned a diversified portfolio of 7169 properties, totaling approximately 8.68.5 million square feet of commercial space and 2,540 multifamily units, and land held for development. These 7169 properties consisted of 2625 office properties, 1817 medical office properties, 16 retail centers and 11 multifamily properties.

The increases in real estate rental revenue and NOI are due to acquisitionsthe acquisition made during 2011 and 2012. NOI for the same-store portfolioproperties decreased by $0.60.7 million primarily due to higher real estate taxes caused by higher assessments on our properties. Additionally, higher rental rates in our same-store portfolio were offset by lower occupancy, in the office segment, reflectingas continued difficultieschallenges in leasing vacant space.space caused occupancy in our largest segment, office, to decrease to 85.4%, from 86.4% one year ago. For the Washington metro region, overall office vacancy was 13.1%13.5% for the 20122013 Quarter, upan increase from 12.1%12.5% one year ago, according to Delta Associates/Transwestern Commercial Services ("Delta"). We expect real estate market conditions to remain challenging for the remainder of 2012 and into 2013, as, according to Delta, uncertainty over the Federal budgetfederal government austerity measures and the broader economic climate is causing hesitancy among tenantslimited private sector growth are expected to limit demand for office space and dampening leasing activity.suppress rental rates.

General and Administrative Expense: General and administrative expense decreasedincreased by $0.7 million and $0.60.3 million in the 20122013 Quarter, and Period, respectively, primarily due to lower compensation expense caused by lower estimates for share-based compensation and severance in 2011recruitment fees associated with the Industrial Portfolio disposition.search for a new chief executive officer ($0.2 million) and higher shareholder relations expenses ($0.1 million).
Discontinued Operations
We dispose of assets (sometimes using tax-deferred exchanges) that no longer meet our long-term strategy or return objectives and where market conditions for sale are favorable. The proceeds from the sales may be reinvested into other properties, used to fund development operations or to support other corporate needs, or distributed to our shareholders. Properties are considered held for sale when they meet the criteria specified by GAAP. Depreciation on these properties is discontinued at that time, but operating revenues, other operating expenses and interest continue to be recognized until the date of sale. During the 2012 Quarter, Plumtree Medical Center, a medical office property, and the Atrium Building, an office property, met the held for sale criteria and were classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2012. Additionally, we sold 1700 Research Boulevard, an office property, during the 2012 Quarter.

Net Operating Income
NOI is the primary performance measure we use to assess the results of our operations at the property level. We believe that NOI is useful as a performance measure because, when compared across periods, NOI reflects the impact on operations of trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. NOI excludes certain components from net income in order to provide results more closely related to a property’s results of operations. For example, acquisition costs are incurred prior to obtaining properties, and interest expense and real estate impairments areis not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset. In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort operating performance at the property level. As a result of the foregoing, we provide NOI as a supplement to net income or income from continuing operations, calculated in accordance with GAAP. NOI does not represent net income or income from continuing operations, in either case calculated in accordance with GAAP. As such, it should not be considered an alternative to net incomethese measures as an indication of our operating performance. NOI is calculated as real estate rental revenue less real estate expenses excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense and general and administrative expenses. A reconciliation of NOI to net income follows.

(1)Non-same-store properties include:
2009 acquisition – 19500 at Riverside Office Park (formerly Lansdowne Medical Office Building)
Real estate rental revenue from same-store properties increased by an immaterial amount in 2012 Quarter as higher rental rates ($0.2 million) and lower provisions for uncollectible revenue ($0.1 million) were offset by lower occupancy ($0.1 million) and lower reimbursements for operating expenses ($0.1 million).
Real estate expenses from same-store properties increased by $0.3 million in the 2012 Quarter primarily due to higher real estate tax assessments.
The decrease in same-store occupancy was driven by lower occupancy at 8501 Arlington Boulevard. The increase in non-same-store occupancy to 35.9% in the 2012 Quarter reflects the continued lease-up of 19500 at Riverside Office Park, which was newly-constructed and vacant when purchased during the fourth quarter of 2009. During the 2012 Quarter, 69.4% of the square footage that expired was renewed compared to 72.1% in the 2011 Quarter.

The interest rate spread is currently 120 basis points. All outstanding advances are due and payable upon maturity in June 2015.2015, and may be extended by one year at our option. Interest only payments are due and payable generally on a monthly basis. In addition, we pay a facility fee based on the credit rating of our publicly issued debt which currently equals 0.25% per annum of the $100.0 million committed capacity, without regard to usage. Rates and fees may be adjusted upincreased or downdecreased based on changes in our senior unsecured credit ratings. These fees are payable quarterly.
Credit Facility No. 2 is a four-year $400.0 million unsecured credit facility with an accordion feature that allows us to increase the facility to $600.0 million, subject to additional lender commitments. The facility maturesmaturing in July 2016, with a one-year extensionand may be extended for one year at WRIT's option, and bearsour option. We had $60.0 million in borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2013 related to Credit Facility No. 2.

Our unsecured credit facilities contain financial and other covenants with which we must comply. Some of these covenants include:
A minimum tangible net worth;
A maximum ratio of total liabilities to gross asset value, calculated using an estimate of fair market value of our assets;

A maximum ratio of secured indebtedness to gross asset value, calculated using an estimate of fair market value of our assets;
A minimum ratio of quarterly EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and amortization)extraordinary and

A minimum ratio of unencumbered asset value, calculated using a fair value of our assets, to unsecured indebtedness;
A minimum ratio of net operating income from our unencumbered properties to unsecured interest expense; and
A maximum ratio of permitted investments to gross asset value, calculated using an estimate of fair market value of our assets.
Failure to comply with any of the covenants under our unsecured credit facilities or other debt instruments could result in a default under one or more of our debt instruments. This could cause our lenders to accelerate the timing of payments and would therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition and liquidity. In addition, our ability to draw on our unsecured credit facilities or incur other unsecured debt in the future could be restricted by the loan covenants. As of September 30, 2012March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with our loan covenants.

To the extent that we maintain larger balances on our unsecured credit facilities or maintain balances on our unsecured credit facilities for longer periods, adverse fluctuations in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on earnings.

Common Equity
We have authorized for issuance 100.0 million common shares, of which 66.366.5 million shares were outstanding at September 30, 2012March 31, 2013.
We have a dividend reinvestment program, whereby shareholders may use their dividends and optional cash payments to purchase common shares. The common shares sold under this program may either be common shares issued by us or common shares purchased in the open market. We use net proceeds under this program for general corporate purposes. For the 2012 Period, we issued 54,758 common shares at a weighted average price of $29.67 per share, raising $1.3 million in net proceeds.

We are party to a sales agency financing agreement with BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC relating to the issuance and sale of up to $250.0 million of our common shares from time to time over a period of no more than 36 months from June 2012. Sales of our common shares are made at market prices prevailing at the time of sale. We willwould use net proceeds forfrom the sale of common shares under this program for the repayment of borrowings under our lines of credit, acquisitions and general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2012March 31, 2013, we have not issued any common shares under this new sales agencyprogram.

We have a dividend reinvestment program, whereby shareholders may use their dividends and optional cash payments to purchase common shares. The common shares sold under this program may either be common shares issued by us or common shares purchased in the open market. We did not issue any shares under this program during the 2013 Quarter.

Preferred Equity

WRIT's board of trustees can, at its discretion, authorize the issuance of up to 10.0 million shares of preferred stock. The ability to issue preferred equity provides WRIT an additional financing agreement.tool that may be used to raise capital for future acquisitions or other business purposes. As of March 31, 2013, no shares of preferred stock had been issued.
Dividends
We currently pay dividends quarterly at a rate of $0.30 per share. The maintenance of our dividend level is subject to various factors reviewed by the Board of Trustees in its discretion. These factors include our results of operations, the availability of cash to make the necessary dividend payments and the effect of REIT distribution requirements, which require at least 90% of our taxable income to be distributed to shareholders. When setting the dividend level, our Board looks in particular at trends in our level of funds from operations, together with associated recurring capital improvements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and incentives, and adjustments to straight-line rents to reflect cash rents received.

Historical Cash Flows
Cash flows from operations are an important factor in our ability to sustain our dividend at its current rate. If our cash flows from operations were to decline significantly, we may have to borrow on our lines of credit to sustain the dividend rate or reduce our dividend.

Ratios of Earnings to Fixed Charges and Debt Service Coverage
The following table sets forth our ratios of earnings to fixed charges and debt service coverage for the periods shown:three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:
Quarter Ended September 30, Period Ended September 30,Quarter Ended March 31,
2012 2011 2012 20112013 2012
Earnings to fixed charges1.30x 1.12x 1.30x 1.15x1.22x 1.27x
Debt service coverage2.80x 2.67x 2.78x 2.70x2.67x 2.73x

We computed the ratio of earnings to fixed charges by dividing earnings by fixed charges. For this purpose, earnings consist of income from continuing operations attributable to the controlling interests plus fixed charges, less capitalized interest. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, including amortized costs of debt issuance, and interest costs capitalized.
We computed the debt service coverage ratio by dividing Adjusted EBITDA (which is earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, real estate impairment, gain on sale of real estate, gain/loss from the extinguishment of debt and gain/loss on non-disposal activities) by interest expense and principal amortization. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate for use in our debt service coverage ratio because it provides an estimate of the cash available to pay down long term debt. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. As such, it should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to the controlling interests is in Exhibit 12 – Computation of Ratios.
Funds From Operations
FFO is a widely used measure of operating performance for real estate companies. We provide FFO as a supplemental measure to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Although FFO is a widely used measure of operating performance for REITs, FFO does not represent net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. As such, it should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance. In addition, FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor does it represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”) defines FFO (April, 2002 White Paper) as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and impairments of depreciable real estate, if any, plus real estate depreciation and amortization. We consider FFO to be a standard supplemental measure for REITs because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which historically assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have instead historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that FFO more accurately provides investors an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and fund other needs. Our FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs. These other REITs may not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We base the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We discuss the most critical estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20112012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2012.2013.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The principal material financial market risk to which we are exposed is interest-rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to refinancing long-term fixed rate obligations, the opportunity cost of fixed rate obligations in a falling interest rate environment and our variable rate lines of credit. We primarily enter into debt obligations to support general corporate purposes including acquisition of real estate properties, capital improvements and working capital needs.
As the majority of our outstanding debt is long-term, fixed rate debt, our interest rate risk has not changed significantly from what was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20112012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2012.2013. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Debt Financing.”
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Accounting, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Accounting, 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 the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Accounting concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
There have been no changes in WRIT’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined by Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during the period covered by the report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, WRIT’s internal control over financial reporting.

Executive Compensation Matters

Introduction

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees of Washington Real Estate Investment Trust (“WRIT”) considered various comments made by institutional proxy advisors with respect to WRIT's executive compensation program. As an initial matter, both Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Glass Lewis recommended that shareholders vote FOR with respect to the advisory vote on executive compensation (i.e., “Say on Pay” vote) contained in WRIT's proxy statement, dated April 3, 2012. Further, at the annual meeting of shareholders held on May 24, 2012, the Say on Pay vote was as follows:
Votes FORVotes AGAINSTAbstentions
41,590,0581,594,796394,563
As a result, 96.3% of all votes cast were cast FOR WRIT's Say on Pay proposal. The Compensation Committee considers this voting level to be a significant endorsement of WRIT's current executive compensation program.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee desires to continue to enhance WRIT's executive compensation program to demonstrate alignment with WRIT shareholders, acknowledgment of best practices and transparency. In this regard, the Compensation Committee advises WRIT shareholders of the following matters.

Strengths of WRIT Executive Compensation Program

Effective January 1, 2011, the Compensation Committee adopted a new short-term incentive plan (STIP) and long-term incentive plan (LTIP). The new STIP and LTIP were expressly designed by the Compensation Committee to enhance alignment of WRIT executives with the interests of WRIT shareholders. In particular, the adoption of the STIP and LTIP, when compared to the prior short-term incentive plan (prior STIP) and the prior long-term incentive plan (prior LTIP), had the effect of -

substantially increasing the amount of total direct compensation that is performance-based from a range of 45% to 58% (depending on executive level) under the prior STIP and prior LTIP to a range of 57% to 76% under the STIP and LTIP (the foregoing ranges assume target levels of performance)

ensuring that a substantial portion of total direct compensation will be evaluated based on the achievement by our executives of the goals of WRIT's strategic plan, as determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion, and

modifying the performance period cycle for long-term incentive compensation from a “rolling” plan (i.e., a new three-year plan every year) to a “multi-year” plan (i.e., a new plan every three years) to further align executives with the goals of our long-term strategic plan.None.

The Compensation Committee further notes that -

50% of awards paid under the STIP are made in the form of restricted shares which vest over a three-year period (under the prior STIP, 100% of awards were paid in cash), and

100% of awards paid under the LTIP will be made in the form of equity (with (i) 50% of LTIP awards being paid after the three-year performance period in unrestricted shares and (ii) the remaining 50% being paid after the three-year performance period in restricted shares which vest over an additional one-year period).

The Compensation Committee believes the foregoing attributes of the STIP and LTIP directly enhance the alignment of WRIT executives to its shareholders.

For a complete description of the STIP and LTIP, please refer to our discussion at pages 12-20 of WRIT's proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 3, 2012. For a comparison of the STIP and LTIP to the prior STIP and LTIP, please refer to our discussion at pages 15-31 of WRIT's proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 1, 2011. Such discussions are incorporated by reference herein.

New Additional Modifications and Enhancements to WRIT Executive Compensation Program

On November 2, 2012, the Compensation Committee adopted several additional modifications and enhancements to the executive compensation program at WRIT. These additional modifications and enhancements were made by the Compensation Committee in response to matters raised by ISS and Glass Lewis as part of their reviews of WRIT during the 2012 proxy season. The Compensation Committee believes these modifications and enhancements will further align the executive compensation program with the interests of shareholders and recognized best practices.

Elimination of Tax Gross-ups upon Change of Control - On November 2, 2012, the Compensation Committee amended each of the change of control agreements with its executive officers to (i) eliminate the Section 4999 excise tax gross up provision and (ii) provide that if an executive officer would be better off with reduced severance benefits in order to avoid the effect of the Section 4999 excise tax, then the benefits will be reduced accordingly.

By way of background, WRIT maintains change in control agreements that provide for continuation of payments and benefits in the event of termination due to a “change in control” (as defined in these agreements). The basic rationale for these change in control protections is to diminish the potential distractions due to personal uncertainties and risks that inevitably arise when a change in control is threatened or pending. For a complete description of the change of control agreements (as they existed prior to the amendment noted above), please refer to our discussion at page 21 and pages 30-31 of WRIT's proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 3, 2012.

Adoption of Margin Loan Prohibition Policy - On November 2, 2012, the Compensation Committee adopted the following policy:

No executive officer may take a margin loan where WRIT's shares are used, directly or indirectly, as collateral for the loan. Such persons are also prohibited from otherwise pledging WRIT securities as collateral for a loan arrangement. With respect to any such margin loan or other loan arrangement in effect on the effective date of this policy (November 2, 2012), such margin loan or other loan arrangement shall not cause a violation of this policy provided it is terminated no later than December 31, 2012.

Adoption of Clawback Policy -Lastly, the Compensation Committee confirmed its intention to adopt a clawback policy promptly following final adoption of SEC and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) rules related to such policies.

Further Disclosure of Executive Compensation Program

The Compensation Committee believes that transparency is an important goal in an executive compensation program. The STIP and LTIP have been purposefully designed to allow the Compensation Committee flexibility to acknowledge environmental factors - both positive and negative - that affect the financial performance results obtained by management during a performance period. The Compensation Committee believes this flexibility is critical due to the fact that WRIT is in the midst of a strategic plan designed to reallocate WRIT's asset base into better-located, higher-quality properties.


44

Table of Contents

WRIT's strategic plan was adopted by the Board of Trustees in December 2010 and provides that, over a course of five years, management will seek to -

Grow the asset base of the WRIT in order to create an enterprise with total market capitalization of approximately $4.5 to $5.0 billion
Develop an organized program of investment in WRIT's office, medical office, retail and multifamily divisions designed to acquire and develop assets inside the Beltway or near Metro stations or other demand drivers, and
Dispose of WRIT's industrial division (which successfully took place in the Fall of 2011).

Both the Compensation Committee and the Board of Trustees believe the strategic plan is a purposeful long-term vision for WRIT. As well, both the Compensation Committee and the Board of Trustees carefully monitor management's ongoing accomplishment of the goals set forth in the strategic plan. Ultimately, there are numerous factors that will determine whether management succeeds in effectuating the vision of the strategic plan. Some of these are within the control of management - and some are not. The following table demonstrates some examples of these factors -

Factors within Control of ManagementFactors not within Control of Management
ŸAggressiveness of acquisition program
ŸActual availability of acquisitions
ŸCareful management of balance sheet
ŸActual availability of equity and debt financing

The Compensation Committee believes that the complexity of WRIT's strategic plan execution has been appropriately taken into account in the development of WRIT's executive compensation program. The STIP and LTIP specifically provides the Compensation Committee with the ability to use its discretion to acknowledge factors inherent to long-term strategic plan execution that have negatively affected short-term performance.

In light of the foregoing, the Compensation Committee desires to ensure transparency in its decision making on matters affecting the STIP and LTIP. In this regard, the Compensation Committee notes the following.

Disclosure of STIP Guidelines - On February 15, 2012, the Compensation Committee revised the STIP for performance years 2012 and later to provide greater flexibility to recognize both challenges to WRIT, and/or positive external circumstances that have beneficially impacted WRIT, in the satisfaction of WRIT's financial performance goals. Under the STIP as revised, at the completion of the one-year performance period, fulfillment of our financial performance goals will be evaluated in the aggregate by the Compensation Committee in its discretion. Under the STIP as revised, the financial metrics that the Compensation Committee will consider in determining aggregate financial goal performance will continue to be core FFO per share, core FAD per share and same-store NOI growth. Instead of each of the foregoing metrics carrying a 20% weight (as provided in the STIP as it existed in 2011), our performance under these metrics will be judged by the Compensation Committee in the aggregate and their aggregate weighting will equal 60%. Further, the Compensation Committee will no longer establish specified financial performance targets for these metrics, but rather will determine guideline expectations for each metric.

In prior proxy statement filings, the Compensation Committee has noted financial performance “targets” for the prior year. Under the revised STIP, the Compensation Committee will provide disclosure of the financial performance “guideline expectations” set by the Compensation Committee for the prior year (comparable to the manner previously done for “target” financial performance metrics). Further, if the Compensation Committee awards compensation above or below the compensation level corresponding to actual achievement of core FFO per share, core FAD per share and same-store NOI growth based on guideline expectations, the Compensation Committee will provide an explanation of the factors underlying such award.

Disclosure of LTIP Guidelines - Under the LTIP, strategic plan fulfillment constitutes 60% of the award for each executive officer. At the completion of the three-year performance period, strategic plan fulfillment will be evaluated by the Compensation Committee in its discretion (taking into account input from the Board and a written presentation on strategic plan fulfillment to be provided by the Chief Executive Officer). Under the LTIP, this evaluation will consider, among other factors, (a) maintenance of an appropriate core FAD/share growth rate, (b) maintenance of an appropriate debt/EBITDA ratio, (c) maintenance of an appropriate debt service coverage ratio, (d) maintenance of an appropriate core FAD/dividend coverage ratio, (e) development of WRIT's management team, (f) formation of appropriate strategic partnerships, (g) creation of appropriate development transactional activity at WRIT and (h) overall improvement of the quality of the WRIT portfolio, in each case at levels and in manners that promote the fulfillment of WRIT's strategic plan.

Table of Contents

Under the LTIP, the Compensation Committee may provide informal guidelines from time to time with respect to the financial criteria noted above based on current market conditions, but has advised WRIT management that its final determination of strategic plan fulfillment at the end of the three-year performance period will not be bound by any such guidelines.
Under the LTIP, the Compensation Committee will provide disclosure of the informal guidelines set by the Compensation Committee (comparable to the manner previously done for “target” financial performance metrics under the STIP). Further, if the Compensation Committee awards compensation above or below the compensation level corresponding to actual achievement of the financial criteria noted above based on such informal guidelines, the Compensation Committee will provide an explanation of the factors underlying such award.
