PART I
Item 1. Business
References to “we,” “us,” “our” and “the Operating Partnership” refer to Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited Partnership, and, unless the context otherwise requires, our direct and indirect subsidiaries; “Crescent” refers to Crescent Real Estate Equities Company and “the General Partner” refers to Crescent Real Estate Equities, Ltd., our sole general partner.
THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP
We were formed under the terms of a limited partnership agreement dated February 9, 1994. We are controlled by Crescent through Crescent’s ownership of all of the outstanding stock of our General Partner, which owns a 1% general partner interest in us. In addition, Crescent owns an approximately 81% limited partner interest in us, with the remaining approximately 18% limited partner interest held by other limited partners.
All of our limited partners, other than Crescent, own, in addition to limited partner interests, units. Each unit generally entitles the holder to exchange the unit (and the related limited partner interest) for two common shares of Crescent or, at Crescent’s option, an equivalent amount of cash. For purposes of this report, the term “unit” or “unit of partnership interest” refers to the limited partner interest and, if applicable, related units held by a limited partner. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2006, Crescent’s approximately 81% limited partner interest has been treated as equivalent, for purposes of this report, to 50,750,346 units and the remaining approximately 18% limited partner interest has been treated as equivalent, for purposes of this report, to 11,320,798 units. In addition, Crescent’s 1% general partner interest has been treated as equivalent, for purposes of this report, to 626,981 units.
Crescent owns its assets and carries on its operations and other activities through us and our subsidiaries. Our limited partnership agreement acknowledges that all of Crescent’s operating expenses are incurred for our benefit and provides that we will reimburse Crescent for all such expenses.
Crescent Finance Company, a Delaware corporation wholly owned by us, was organized in March 2002 for the sole purpose of acting as co-issuer with us of $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior notes due 2009. Crescent Finance Company does not conduct operations of its own.

Within these segments, we owned in whole or in part the following operating real estate assets, which we refer to as the Properties, as of December 31, 2006:
• | Office Segmentconsisted of 71 office properties, which we refer to as the Office Properties, located in 26 metropolitan submarkets in eight states, with an aggregate of approximately 27.6 million net rentable square feet. Fifty-four of the Office Properties are wholly-owned and 17 are owned through joint ventures, one of which is consolidated in our financial statements contained in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” and 16 of which are unconsolidated. | ||
• | Resort Residential Development Segmentconsisted of our ownership of common stock representing interests of 98% to 100% in four Resort Residential Development Corporations and two limited partnerships, which are consolidated. These Resort Residential Development Corporations, through partnership arrangements, owned, in whole or in part, 30 active and planned upscale resort residential development properties, which we refer to as the Resort Residential Development Properties. | ||
• | Resort/Hotel Segmentconsisted of five luxury and destination fitness resorts and spas with a total of 949 rooms/guest nights and three upscale business-class hotel properties with a total of 1,376 rooms, which we refer to as the Resort/Hotel Properties. Five of the Resort/Hotel Properties are wholly-owned, one is owned through a joint venture that is consolidated and two are owned through joint ventures that are unconsolidated. | ||
• | Temperature-Controlled Logistics Segmentconsisted of our 31.7% interest in AmeriCold Realty Trust, or AmeriCold, a REIT. As of December 31, 2006, AmeriCold operated 104 facilities, of which 91 were wholly-owned or leased, one was partially-owned and 12 were managed for outside owners. The 92 owned or leased and partially-owned facilities, which we refer to as the Temperature-Controlled Logistics Properties, had an aggregate of approximately 497.8 million cubic feet (19.0 million square feet) of warehouse space.

Business Objectives and Strategies Overview
We are the Operating Partnership of Crescent Real Estate Equities Company, a REIT, with our assets and operations divided into four investment segments: Office, Resort Residential Development, Resort/Hotel and Temperature-Controlled Logistics. Our strategy has two key elements as outlined below.
First, we selectively invest in premier office properties in markets that offer attractive returns on invested capital. We may align ourselves with institutional partners to enhance our return on equity when compared to the returns we receive as a 100% owner. Where possible, we negotiate performance-based incentives on our joint ventures that allow for additional equity to be earned if return targets are exceeded. For example, we earned promoted interests on the sales of the Three Westlake and Four Westlake joint venture Office Properties in 2006. We currently hold 43% of our office portfolio in joint ventures.
We selectively develop new office properties where the opportunity exists for attractive returns. In August 2006, we completed, with JMI Realty, a 232,330 square-foot, three-building complex in San Diego, California and sold our interest in the property in December 2006 for a $10.4 million gain. We are also developing a 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 267,000 square-foot office building in Irvine, California, and with Champion Partners, a 144,380 square-foot, two-building office complex in Austin, Texas.

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 Crescent Resort Development, Inc., with 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 532 have been sold, 73 are currently in inventory and over 1,950 are scheduled for development over the next 14 years, and is expected to generate in excess of $5.0 billion in sales. 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 addition, we sometimes serve as the primary developer, such as The Ritz-Carlton Phases I and II. Also, we provide mezzanine financing to other office, hotel and residential investors where we see attractive returns relative to owning the equity. We currently have approximately $124.3 million of mezzanine notes.
In 2005, we also completed the recapitalization of our Canyon Ranch® investment. In addition to its wellness facilities in Tucson, Arizona and Lenox, Massachusetts and its Spa Club operation at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, Canyon Ranch partners with developers to establish Canyon Ranch Living communities at which the focal point is a large, comprehensive wellness facility and earns fees for the licensing of the brand name to these communities, providing design and technical services, and the ongoing management of the facilities. One such development is under construction in Miami Beach and an agreement that will pave the way for the development of a Canyon Ranch Living community in Chicago, Illinois, and others, are under consideration or in negotiation.
During 2006, Crescent conducted an extensive review of its strategic alternatives, and in late August received an offer to purchase certain assets. Crescent’s Board of Trust Managers established a special committee of independent trust managers to assist in its consideration of the strategic alternatives and to respond to the offer that was received. The Special Committee hired an independent investment banker and counsel to assist with its review. The Special Committee has rejected the offer received, and on November 1, 2006, instituted a formal review of Crescent’s strategic alternatives.
On March 1, 2007, Crescent announced that it had concluded the review of strategic alternatives first announced on November 1, 2006. Based on that review, Crescent adopted a plan, which we refer to as the Strategic Plan, designed to simplify its and our business model by concentrating on our core office properties business.
Key elements of the Strategic Plan include:
• | Sale of all resort and hotel assets.Properties to be sold include the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa®, Ventana Inn & Spa in Big Sur, California, the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa, and three business-class hotels. | ||
• | Sale of resort residential developments.Properties and assets to be sold include Crescent Resort Development and Desert Mountain Development Corporation. | ||
• | Opportunistic sale of office properties.Properties to be sold include virtually all suburban Dallas properties and all Austin properties, as well as our single assets in Phoenix, Arizona, and in Seattle, Washington. | ||
• | Reduction of general and administrative expenses by more than $17.0 million, or $0.28 per unit.Implementation of savings began immediately on March 1, 2007 and is expected to be fully phased in by the end of 2007. We expect to take a charge of approximately $5.0 million for severance costs. | ||
• | Use of sales proceeds to retire debt. We plan to first use the proceeds from asset sales to retire debt. We expect that our balance sheet will be significantly strengthened and our cost of capital lowered, giving us capacity for growth. | ||
• | Alignment of dividend.We intend to align our distribution to allow Crescent to align its dividend with industry-accepted pay-out ranges to allow for retention of capital for growth. |
In addition to the above elements, Crescent is considering alternatives for our interest in Canyon Ranch in conjunction with the founders of Canyon Ranch. We will communicate our distribution plans as we execute asset sales. After completing these dispositions, our remaining office portfolio is expected to consist of 22.6 million square feet, of which 11.7 million square feet, or 52%, will be owned in joint venture. Our effective ownership will be 14.0 million square feet.

Employees
As of March 5, 2007, we had approximately 748 employees. In connection with the Strategic Plan, the number of employees is expected to be reduced significantly by the end of 2007. None of these employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We consider our employee relations to be good.
Tax Status
We are the Operating Partnership of Crescent, which has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and operate in a manner intended to enable it to continue to qualify as a REIT. As a REIT, Crescent generally will not be subject to corporate federal income tax on net income that it currently distributes to its shareholders, provided that it satisfies certain organizational and operational requirements including the requirement to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders each year. If Crescent fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Crescent is subject to certain state and local taxes.
We have elected to treat certain of our corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries, each of which we refer to as a TRS. In general, a TRS may perform additional services for our tenants and may engage in any real estate or non-real estate business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the provision to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, of rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated). A TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax.
Environmental and Health and Safety Matters
We and our Properties are subject to a variety of federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws, including:
• | Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended (CERCLA); | ||
• | Resource Conservation & Recovery Act; | ||
• | Clean Water Act; | ||
• | Clean Air Act; | ||
• | Toxic Substances Control Act; and | ||
• | Occupational Safety & Health Act. |
The application of these laws to a specific property that we own will be dependent on a variety of property-specific circumstances, including the former uses of the property and the building materials used at each property. Under certain environmental laws, principally CERCLA and comparable state laws, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be required to investigate and clean up certain hazardous or toxic substances, asbestos-containing materials, or petroleum product releases at the property. They may also be held liable to a governmental entity or third parties for property damage and for investigation and clean up costs such parties incur in connection with the contamination, whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the contamination. In addition, some environmental laws create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with the contamination. The owner or operator of a site also may be liable under certain environmental laws and common law to third parties for damages and injuries resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the site. Such costs or liabilities could exceed the value of the affected real estate.
6
Table of Contents
The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral.
Our compliance with existing environmental, health and safety laws has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. To further protect our financial interests regarding environmental matters, we have in place a Pollution and Remediation Legal Liability insurance policy which will respond in the event of certain future environmental liabilities. Certain of our properties contain asbestos-containing building materials, or ACBM. Environmental law requires that ACBM be properly managed and maintained and may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators for failure to comply with these requirements. For properties where ACBM have been identified or are suspected, an operations and maintenance plan has been prepared and implemented. If properties undergo major renovations or are demolished, certain environmental regulations are in place which specify the manner in which ACBM must be handled and disposed. We believe that we are compliant with current environmental regulations and that any ACBM have been appropriately contained.
INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
Office Segment
Ownership Structure
As of December 31, 2006, we owned or had an interest in 71 Office Properties located in 26 metropolitan submarkets in eight states, with an aggregate of approximately 27.6 million net rentable square feet. As lessor, we have retained substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the Office Properties and account for the leases of our 55 consolidated Office Properties as operating leases. Fifty-four of the Office Properties are wholly-owned and 17 are owned through joint ventures, one of which is consolidated and 16 of which are unconsolidated. Additionally, we provide management and leasing oversight services for all of our Office Properties.
Market Information
The Office Property portfolio reflects our strategy of investing in first-class assets within markets that have significant potential for long-term rental growth. Within our selected submarkets, we have focused on premier locations that management believes are able to attract and retain the highest quality tenants and command premium rents. We have sought new acquisitions that have strong economic returns based on in-place tenancy and/or strong value-creation potential given the market and our core competencies. Moreover, we have also sought assets with dominant positions within their markets and submarkets due to quality and/or location, which mitigates the risks of market volatility. Accordingly, management’s investment strategy not only demands an acceptable current cash flow return on invested capital, but also considers cash flow growth prospects. We apply a well-defined leasing strategy in order to capture the potential revenue growth in our portfolio of Office Properties from occupancy gains and rental rate increases in the markets and the submarkets in which we have invested.
In selecting the Office Properties, we have analyzed demographic, economic and market data to identify metropolitan areas expected to enjoy significant long-term employment and office demand growth. The markets in which we are currently invested are projected to continue to exceed national employment and population growth rates, as illustrated in the following table. In addition, we consider these markets “demand-driven.” Our office investment strategy also includes metropolitan regions with above national average economic expansion rates combined with significant office development supply constraints. Additionally, our investment strategy seeks geographic and regional economic diversification within the markets expected to experience excellent economic and office demand growth.

The performance of all of our office markets improved in 2006. Occupancy rose in all of our major markets with the exception of Las Vegas. All markets had positive net absorption, and Dallas, Houston, and Austin significantly outpaced 2005. Occupancy increases of 2.7 percentage points in Houston and 3.8 percentage points in Austin were particularly strong. Miami and Las Vegas remain very healthy markets even though gains slowed from the 2005 pace.

(1) Economic net absorption is the change in leased space from one period to another. | ||
(2) Economic occupancy reflects the occupancy of all tenants paying rent. |
One of the reasons for the improved occupancy in 2006 is that all of our major markets, except Dallas, have relatively low levels of Class A office construction and demand levels outpacing new supply. Dallas has an active development arena, about on par with demand levels. Most markets experienced increases in new supply delivered in 2006, and all of the major markets had much higher levels of space under construction at the end of 2006.

Competition
Our Office Properties, primarily Class A properties located within the Southwest, individually compete against a wide range of property owners and developers, including property management companies and REITs that offer space in similar classes of office properties (specifically Class A properties). A number of these owners and developers may own more than one property. The number and type of competing properties in a particular market or submarket could have a material effect on our ability to lease space and maintain or increase occupancy or rents in our existing Office Properties. We believe, however, that the quality services and individualized attention that we offer our tenants, together with our active preventive maintenance program and superior building locations within markets, enhance our ability to attract and retain tenants for our Office Properties. In addition, as of December 31, 2006, on a weighted average basis, we owned approximately 12% of the Class A office space in the 26 submarkets in which we owned Class A office properties. We believe that ownership of a significant percentage of office space in a particular market reduces property operating expenses, enhances our ability to attract and retain tenants and potentially results in increases in our net income.
Diversified Tenant Base
Our top ten tenants accounted for approximately 13.5% of our total Office Segment revenues as of December 31, 2006. The loss of major tenants could have a temporary adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations until we are able to re-lease the space previously leased to these tenants. Based on rental revenues from office leases in effect as of December 31, 2006, no single tenant accounted for more than 2.5% of our total Office Segment revenues for 2006.
In June 2005, we entered into an agreement with our then largest office tenant, El Paso Energy Services Company and certain of its subsidiaries, which terminated El Paso’s leases totaling 888,000 square feet at Greenway Plaza in Houston, Texas, effective December 31, 2007. Under the agreement, El Paso is required to pay us $65.0 million in termination fees in periodic installments through December 31, 2007, and $62.0 million in rent according to the original lease terms from July 1, 2005 through December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2006, we have collected $35.0 million of the lease termination fee. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, we recognized $38.8 million and $8.5 million, respectively, in net termination fees, which includes accelerated termination fees and contractual full-service rents resulting from the re-lease of approximately 463,000 square feet. As of December 31, 2006, El Paso was current on all rent obligations.

Resort Residential Development Segment
Ownership Structure
As of December 31, 2006, we owned equity interests of 98% to 100% in four Resort Residential Development Corporations and two limited partnerships which are consolidated. These Resort Residential Development Corporations, through partnership arrangements, owned in whole or in part 30 active and planned upscale resort residential development properties, which we refer to as the Resort Residential Development Properties. The partnerships, for the majority of which we are not the general partner, are responsible for the continued development and the day-to-day operations of the Resort Residential Development Properties.
Competition and Market Information
Our Resort Residential Development Properties compete against a variety of other housing alternatives in each of their respective areas. These alternatives include other planned developments, pre-existing single-family homes, condominiums and townhouses. These developments focus primarily on the buying power of aging baby boomers. Management believes that the properties owned by Crescent Resort Development Inc., or CRDI, and Desert Mountain Development Corporation, or Desert Mountain, representing our most significant investments in Resort Residential Development Properties, contain certain features that provide competitive advantages to these developments.
CRDI invests primarily in mountain resort residential real estate in Colorado and California, as well as in downtown Denver, Colorado. Management believes that the Properties owned by CRDI have limited direct competitors because of the projects’ locations, unique product offerings, limited land availability and restricted development rights.
Desert Mountain, a luxury resort residential and recreational private community in Scottsdale, Arizona, offers six 18-hole Jack Nicklaus signature golf courses with adjacent clubhouses. Management believes Desert Mountain has few direct competitors due in part to the superior natural surroundings and the amenity package that Desert Mountain offers to its members. Sources of competition come from the resale market of existing lots and homes within Desert Mountain and from a few smaller projects in the area. In addition, future resort residential golf development in the Scottsdale area is limited due to the lack of water available for golf course use.
Resort residential development demand is highly dependent upon the national economy, home sales and, to a lesser extent, on mortgage interest rates. The national economy achieved healthy economic expansion in 2006 as a result of strong business growth, and mortgage rates rose only marginally (the 30-year average mortgage rate rose by 50 basis points in the first half of the year and then declined by the same in the second half). Nevertheless, the housing sector did slow down considerably. Our markets were somewhat impacted by the housing slowdown, but less than most primary housing markets. In general, we found that the volume of housing transactions declined in our markets, but the pricing held up well or improved. For example, in Eagle County, Colorado where a large CRDI resort development is located, sales volume fell 23% compared to 2005, but the average sales price climbed due to the rising percentage of high end sales in the area.
Resort/Hotel Segment
Ownership Structure
As of December 31, 2006, we owned or had an interest in five luxury and destination fitness resorts and spas and three upscale business-class hotel properties, which we refer to as the Resort/Hotel Properties. We hold one of the Resort/Hotel Properties, the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa, through a joint venture arrangement, pursuant to which we own an 80.1% interest in the limited liability company, which is consolidated, that owns the property. We hold two of the Resort/Hotel Properties, Canyon Ranch Tucson and Canyon Ranch Lenox, through an unconsolidated joint-venture arrangement, pursuant to which we own a 48% interest in the limited liability companies that own the properties. The remaining five Resort/Hotel Properties are wholly-owned.
Seven of the Resort/Hotel Properties are leased to taxable REIT subsidiaries that we own or in which we have an interest. The Omni Austin Hotel is leased to HCD Austin Corporation, an unrelated third party. Third-party operators manage all of the Resort/Hotel Properties.

Market Information
Lodging demand is highly dependent upon the global economy and volume of business travel as well as leisure travel. The hospitality market has enjoyed three years of strong market recovery as measured by occupancy, room rates and revenue per available room, or RevPAR, (RevPAR is a combination of occupancy and room rates and is the chief measure of hotel market performance). In 2006, the national occupancy rate, as reported by Smith Travel Research, experienced a 0.3 percentage point increase to 63.4%, a 7.5% gain in RevPAR and a 7.0% rise in average daily room rates, or ADR. For the luxury section of the industry, the most comparable to our portfolio, hotel occupancy rose 1.2 percentage points to 71.4%, RevPAR climbed 11.7% and ADR increased 9.1%. New hotel construction is still very limited in the nation and in our markets, although it is rising. In 2006, the increase to total hotel supply in the United States was a low 0.6%. The luxury hotel inventory rose by 3.0%.
Competition
We believe that our luxury and destination fitness resorts and spas are unique properties due to location, concept and high replacement cost, all of which create barriers for competition to enter. However, the luxury and destination fitness resorts and spas do compete against business-class hotels or middle-market resorts in their geographic areas, as well as against luxury resorts nationwide and around the world. Our upscale business-class Resort/Hotel Properties in Denver, Austin and Houston are business and convention center hotels that compete against other business and convention center hotels.
Temperature-Controlled Logistics Segment
Ownership Structure
As of December 31, 2006, the Temperature-Controlled Logistics Segment consisted of our 31.7% interest in AmeriCold Realty Trust, or AmeriCold, a REIT, which is unconsolidated. AmeriCold operates 104 facilities, of which 91 are wholly-owned or leased, one is partially-owned and 12 are managed for outside owners. The 92 owned or leased facilities, which we refer to as the Temperature-Controlled Logistics Properties, have an aggregate of approximately 497.8 million cubic feet (19.0 million square feet) of warehouse space. AmeriCold also owns one quarry and the related land.
Business and Industry Information
AmeriCold provides the food industry with refrigerated warehousing, transportation management services and other logistical services. The Temperature-Controlled Logistics Properties consist of production, distribution and public facilities. In addition, AmeriCold manages facilities owned by its customers for which it earns fixed and incentive fees. Production facilities differ from distribution facilities in that they typically serve one or a small number of customers located nearby. These customers store large quantities of processed or partially processed products in the facility until they are further processed or shipped to the next stage of production or distribution. Distribution facilities primarily serve customers who store a wide variety of finished products to support shipment to end-users, such as food retailers and food service companies, in a specific geographic market. Public facilities generally serve the needs of local and regional customers under short-term agreements. Food manufacturers and processors use public facilities to store capacity overflow from their production facilities or warehouses. These facilities also provide a number of additional services such as blast freezing, import/export and labeling.
AmeriCold provides supply chain management solutions to food manufacturers and retailers who require multi-temperature storage, handling and distribution capability for their products. Service offerings include comprehensive transportation management, supply chain network modeling and optimization, consulting and grocery retail-based distribution strategies such as multi-vendor consolidation, direct-store delivery (DSD) and seasonal product distribution. AmeriCold’s technology provides food manufacturers with real-time detailed inventory information via the Internet.

Competition
AmeriCold is the largest operator of temperature-controlled warehouse space in North America. As a result, AmeriCold does not have any competitors of comparable size. AmeriCold operates in an environment in which competition is national, regional and local in nature and in which the range of service, temperature-controlled logistics facilities, customer mix, service performance and price are the principal competitive factors.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
If we are unable to effectively implement the Strategic Plan, our business, financial condition, operating results and Crescent’s common share price could suffer. Our units are exchangeable for Crescent common shares.
The implementation of the Strategic Plan requires us to complete sales of numerous properties and businesses, and effect a substantial reduction in our general and administrative expenses, which will include a significant reduction in personnel. No assurance can be given that we will be able to fully implement the Strategic Plan, or that the implementation will not have an adverse effect on our operations or financial condition. If we fail to implement the Strategic Plan, or if the implementation is longer, more costly or otherwise less successful than projected, we could be subject to various adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, the following:
• | we may face various disruptions to the operation of our business as a result of the substantial time and effort invested by our management in connection with the Strategic Plan, and may be unable to respond effectively to competitive pressures or take advantage of new business opportunities; | ||
• | our decision to implement the Strategic Plan may cause harm to relationships with our employees and/or may divert employee attention away from day-to-day operations of our business; | ||
• | our decision to implement the Strategic Plan requires cooperation of our strategic business partners, including our relationships with the management of Canyon Ranch and East West Partners; | ||
• | regardless of our ability to consummate the Strategic Plan, we would remain liable for significant costs relating thereto, including, among others, severance and retention payments, and accounting, legal and financial advisory expenses; and |
13
Table of Contents
• | an announcement that we have abandoned or cannot fully implement the Strategic Plan could trigger a decline in Crescent’s common share price to the extent that Crescent’s share price reflects a market assumption that we will complete the Strategic Plan. |
The Strategic Plan calls for us to make substantial divestitures. We may be unable to make these divestitures on terms that are acceptable, or at all.
We anticipate making a number of divestitures of our hotel and resort properties, our non-core office properties and our resort and residential development business in accordance with the Strategic Plan. Real estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly. Our ability to do so on favorable terms may be limited by the availability of interested purchasers and internal demand on our resources. We, and our advisors, may not be able to identify purchasers and negotiate acceptable terms on a timely basis or at all. We may not be able to sell these properties for a gain relative to current net book value of such properties. To the extent we are unable to sell these properties for our book value, we may be required to take a non-cash impairment charge or loss on the sale, either of which would reduce our net income.
Our failure to have an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting could hinder our ability to accurately or timely report our financial results, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Although we have received an opinion from our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated therein, our management concluded, as of December 31, 2006, that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as a result of two incorrect accounting items, described further in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”, Note 1, Organization and Basis of Presentation, that constituted material weaknesses. These accounting items, which are highly complex and subject to interpretation, have since been corrected. You should note that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting in the future. An ineffective control environment, if not remedied, could result in a misstatement of our financial statements that could cause a delay in periodic filings with the SEC and such delay could cause a violation of debt covenants.
We derive the substantial majority of our office rental revenues from geographically concentrated markets.
As of December 31, 2006, approximately 66% of our office portfolio, based on total net rentable square feet, was located in the metropolitan areas of Houston and Dallas, Texas. Due to our geographic concentration in these metropolitan areas, any deterioration in economic conditions in the Houston or Dallas metropolitan areas, or in other geographic markets in which we in the future may acquire substantial assets, could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to make distributions to Crescent’s shareholders and our unitholders and could decrease our cash flow. In addition, we compete for tenants based on rental rates, attractiveness and location of a property and quality of maintenance and management services. An increase in the supply of properties competitive with ours in these markets could have a material adverse effect on our ability to attract and retain tenants in these markets.
Our performance and value are subject to general risks associated with the real estate industry.
Our economic performance and the value of our real estate assets, and consequently the value of our investments, will be adversely affected if our Office, Resort Residential Development, Resort/Hotel and Temperature-Controlled Logistics Properties do not generate revenues sufficient to meet our operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures. Any reduction in the revenues that our properties generate will adversely affect our cash flow and ability to meet our obligations. As a real estate company, we are susceptible to the following real estate industry risks:
• | downturns in the national, regional and local economic conditions where our properties are located; | ||
• | competition from other Office, Resort Residential Development, Resort/Hotel and Temperature-Controlled Logistics properties; | ||
• | adverse changes in local real estate market conditions, such as oversupply or reduction in demand for office space, luxury residences, Resort/Hotel space or Temperature-Controlled Logistics storage space; | ||
• | changes in tenant preferences that reduce the attractiveness of our properties to tenants; |
14
Table of Contents
• | tenant defaults; | ||
• | zoning or other regulatory restrictions; | ||
• | decreases in market rental rates; | ||
• | costs associated with the need to periodically repair, renovate and re-lease space; | ||
• | increases in the cost of maintenance, insurance and other operating costs, including real estate taxes, associated with one or more properties, which may occur even when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in revenues from one or more properties; and | ||
• | illiquidity of real estate investments, which may limit our ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. |
We depend on leasing office space to tenants on economically favorable terms and collecting rent from our tenants, who may not be able to pay.
Our financial results depend significantly on leasing space in our office properties to tenants on economically favorable terms. In addition, because a large portion of our income comes from the renting of real property, our income, funds available to pay debt and funds available for distribution to Crescent’s shareholders and our unitholders will decrease if a significant number of our tenants cannot pay their rent. If a tenant does not pay its rent, we might not be able to enforce our rights as landlord without delays and might incur substantial legal costs.
A number of companies, including some of our tenants, have declared bankruptcy in recent years, and other tenants may declare bankruptcy or become insolvent in the future. If a major tenant declares bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the rental property where it leases space may have lower revenues and financial difficulties. Our leases generally do not contain restrictions designed to ensure the creditworthiness of our tenants. As a result, the bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant could result in a lower level of funds from operations available for distribution to Crescent’s shareholders and our unitholders or the payment of our debt.
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts that is reviewed for adequacy by assessing such factors as the credit quality of our tenants, any delinquency in payment, historical trends and current economic conditions. If our assumptions regarding the collectibility of tenant accounts receivable prove incorrect, we could experience write-offs in excess of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which would result in a decrease in our earnings. Bad debt as a percentage of office rental revenue has averaged less than 0.3% over the last three years.
We may experience difficulty or delay in renewing leases or re-leasing space.
We derive most of our revenue in the form of rent received from our tenants. We are subject to the risks that, upon expiration, leases for space in our office properties may not be renewed, the space may not be re-leased, or the terms of renewal or re-lease, including the cost of required renovations or concessions to tenants, may be less favorable than current lease terms. In the event of any of these circumstances, our results of operations and our ability to meet our obligations could be adversely affected.
As of December 31, 2006, leases of office space for approximately 2.0 million, 2.3 million and 2.5 million square feet,representing approximately 8.4%, 9.7% and 10.4% of net rentable area, expire in 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. During these same three years,leases of approximately 22.0% of the net rentable area of our office properties in Dallas and approximately 31.5% of the net rentable area of our office properties in Houston expire.
Our results of operations depends on the ability of El Paso Energy to meet its obligations pursuant to its lease termination agreement with us.
In June 2005, we entered into an agreement with our largest office tenant, El Paso Energy Services Company and certain of its subsidiaries, which terminated El Paso’s leases totaling 888,000 square feet at Greenway Plaza in Houston, Texas, effective December 31, 2007. Original expirations for the space ranged from 2007 through 2014. Under the agreement, El Paso is required to pay in cash to us:
• | $65.0 million in termination fees in periodic installments through December 31, 2007 (of which $35.0 million has been received as of December 31, 2006, and is included in restricted cash in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as it is required to be escrowed with the lender); and | ||
• | $62.0 million in rent according to original contractual lease terms from July 1, 2005, through December 31, 2007 (of which $39.8 million has been received as of December 31, 2006). |
15
Table of Contents
If El Paso does not comply with the terms of the agreement, our revenues will decline, which will adversely affect our results of operations and reduce the cash available for distribution to Crescent’s shareholders and our unitholders or the payment of our debt.
We may have limited flexibility in dealing with our jointly owned investments.
Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of funds that we may invest in properties and assets jointly with other persons or entities. As of December 31, 2006, approximately 43% of the net rentable area of our office properties was held jointly with other persons or entities. In addition, three of our five Resort/Hotel properties, all of our Resort Residential Development properties and our Temperature-Controlled Logistics properties were owned jointly.
Joint ownership of properties may involve special risks, including the possibility that our partners or co-investors might:
• | become bankrupt; | ||
• | have economic or other business interests or goals which are unlike or incompatible with our business interests or goals; | ||
• | be in a position to take action contrary to our suggestions or instructions, or in opposition to our policies or objectives (including actions that may be inconsistent with Crescent’s REIT status); and | ||
• | have different objectives from us regarding the appropriate timing and pricing of any sale or refinancing of the properties. |
Joint ownership also gives a third party the opportunity to influence the return we can achieve on some of our investments and may adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to meet our obligations. In addition, in many cases we do not control the timing or amount of distributions that we receive from the joint investment, and amounts otherwise available for distribution to us instead may be reinvested in the property or used for other costs and expenses of the joint operation.
We also have joint venture agreements that contain buy-sell clauses that could require us to buy or sell our interest at a time we do not deem favorable for financial or other reasons, including the availability of cash at such time and the impact of tax consequences resulting from any sale.
The management and leasing agreements under which we operate our Office Properties owned through joint ventures may be terminated after an initial period.
We generally manage the day-to-day operations of our 17 properties held through joint ventures pursuant to separate management and leasing agreements. Under these agreements we receive fees for management of the properties and leasing commissions. The management and leasing agreements may be terminated, after an initial period of one to five years, by our partners in the joint ventures. The termination of one or more of the management and leasing agreements would result in the loss of the management fees and leasing commissions payable under such agreement or agreements.
The performance of our Resort Residential Development Properties is affected by national, regional and local economic conditions.
Our Resort Residential Development Properties, which include Desert Mountain and CRDI properties, are generally targeted toward purchasers of high-end primary residences or seasonal secondary residences. As a result, the economic performance and value of these properties is particularly sensitive to changes in national, regional and local economic and market conditions. Economic downturns may discourage potential customers from purchasing new, larger primary residences or vacation or seasonal homes. In addition, other factors may affect the performance and value of a property adversely, including changes in laws and governmental regulations (including those governing usage, zoning and taxes), changes in interest rates (including the risk that increased interest rates may result in decreased sales of lots in any resort residential development property) and the availability to potential customers of financing. Adverse changes in any of these factors, each of which is beyond our control, could reduce the income that we receive from the properties, and adversely affect our ability to meet our obligations.
16
Table of Contents
In many cases, we do not develop our Resort Residential Development Properties and are dependent on the developer of these properties.
Some of our Resort Residential Development Corporations co-own Resort Residential Development properties in partnership with third parties, which are the developers of the properties. Our partner for the majority of our Resort Residential Development properties is Harry Frampton and his East West Partners development team. Our income from the development and sale of these properties may be adversely affected if East West Partners fails to control costs and provide quality services and workmanship or if it fails to maintain a quality brand name. In addition, although we have entered into agreements with East West Partners that contain limited non-competition provisions, at certain times and upon certain conditions, East West Partners may develop, and in some cases own or invest in, Resort Residential Development properties that compete with our properties, which may result in conflicts of interest. As a result, East West Partners may in the future make decisions regarding competing properties that would not be in our best interests. While we believe that we could find a replacement for East West Partners, the loss of its services could have an adverse effect on the financial performance of our Resort Residential Development Segment.
The revenues from our eight Resort/Hotel Properties depend on third-party operators that we do not control.
We own or have an interest in eight Resort/Hotel properties, seven of which are leased to our own subsidiaries. We currently lease the remaining Resort/Hotel property, the Omni Austin Hotel, to a third-party entity, HCD Austin Corporation. To maintain Crescent’s status as a REIT, third-party property managers manage each of the eight Resort/Hotel properties. As a result, we are unable to directly implement strategic business decisions with respect to the operation and marketing of our Resort/Hotel properties, such as decisions about quality of accommodations, room-rate structure and the quality and scope of other amenities such as food and beverage facilities and similar matters. The amount of revenue that we receive from the Resort/Hotel properties is dependent on the ability of the property managers to maintain and increase the gross receipts from these properties. If the gross receipts of our Resort/Hotel Properties decline, our revenues will decrease as well, which could adversely affect our results of operations and reduce the amount of cash available to meet our obligations.
The revenues from our eight Resort/Hotel Properties are subject to risks associated with the hospitality industry.
The following factors, among others, are common to the Resort/Hotel industry, and may reduce the receipts generated by our Resort/Hotel Properties.
• | Based on features such as access, location, quality of accommodations, room-rate structure and, to a lesser extent, the quality and scope of other amenities such as food and beverage facilities, our Resort/Hotel properties compete for guests with other resorts and hotels, a number of which have greater marketing and financial resources than our lessees or the Resort/Hotel property managers; | ||
• | If there is an increase in operating costs resulting from inflation or other factors, we or the property managers may not be able to offset the increase by increasing room rates; | ||
• | Our Resort/Hotel Properties are subject to fluctuating and seasonal demands for business travel and tourism; and | ||
• | Our Resort/Hotel Properties are subject to general and local economic conditions that may affect the demand for travel in general and other factors that are beyond our control, such as acts of terrorism. |
Military actions against terrorists, new terrorist attacks (actual or threatened) and other political events could cause a lengthy period of uncertainty that might increase customer reluctance to travel and therefore adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to meet our obligations.
Development and construction risks could adversely affect our profitability.
We currently are developing, expanding or renovating some of our office or Resort/Hotel Properties. In addition, our Resort Residential Development Properties engage in the development of raw land and construction of single-family homes, condominiums, town homes and time-share units. These activities may be exposed to the following risks, each of which could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to meet our obligations:
• | We may be unable to obtain, or suffer delays in obtaining, necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations, which could result in increased costs or our abandonment of these activities; |
17
Table of Contents
• | We may incur costs for development, expansion or renovation of a property which exceed our original estimates due to increased costs for materials or labor or other costs that were unexpected; | ||
• | We may not be able to obtain financing with favorable terms, which may make us unable to proceed with our development and other related activities on the schedule we originally planned or at all; | ||
• | We may be unable to complete construction and sale or lease-up of a lot, office property or resort residential development unit on schedule, which could result in increased debt service expense or construction costs; | ||
• | We may lease, rent or sell developed properties at below expected rental rates, room rates or unit prices; and | ||
• | Occupancy rates, rents or unit sales at newly completed properties may fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including market and economic conditions, and may result in our investment not being profitable. |
Additionally, the time frame required for development, construction and lease-up of these properties means that we may have to wait a few years for a significant cash return. As a REIT, Crescent is required to make cash distributions to its shareholders. If our cash flows from operations are not sufficient, we may be forced to borrow to fund our distributions to Crescent that enable Crescent to pay necessary distributions to its shareholders, which could affect our ability to meet our other obligations.
Many real estate costs are fixed, even if income from our properties decreases.
Our financial results depend primarily on leasing space in our office properties to tenants, renting rooms at our resorts and hotels and successfully developing and selling lots, single-family homes, condominiums, town homes and time-share units at our residential development properties, in each case on terms favorable to us. Fixed costs associated with real estate investment, such as real estate taxes and insurance costs, generally do not decrease even when a property is not fully occupied, or the rate of sales at a project decreases, or other circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investment.
Payment of distributions on any class of our units may be adversely affected by the level of our debt and the terms and number of our other shares or units that rank on an equal basis with or senior to that class of shares or units.
Payment of distributions due on our units is subordinated to distributions on our preferred units, and distributions on our units and our preferred units will be subordinated to all of our existing and future debt and will be structurally subordinated to the payment of dividends and distributions on equity, if any, issued by our subsidiaries. In addition, we may issue additional units of the same or another class or series of shares that rank on a parity with any class or series of our units as to the payment of distributions and the amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our business.
The amount of debt that we have and the restrictions imposed by that debt could adversely affect our business and our financial condition.
We have a substantial amount of debt. As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately $2.3 billion of consolidated debt outstanding, of which approximately $1.5 billion was secured by approximately 57% of our gross total assets.
Our organizational documents do not limit the level or amount of debt that we may incur. We do not have a policy limiting the ratio of our debt to our total capitalization or assets. The amount of debt we have and may have outstanding could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:
• | make it difficult to satisfy our debt service requirements; | ||
• | prevent us from making distributions on our units and preferred units; | ||
• | require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing funds available for operations, property acquisitions and other appropriate business opportunities that may arise in the future; | ||
• | require us to dedicate increased amounts of our cash flow from operations to payments on our variable rate, unhedged debt if interest rates rise; | ||
• | limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the factors that affect the profitability of our business; | ||
• | limit our ability to obtain additional financing, if we need it in the future for working capital, debt refinancing, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development or other general business purposes; and |
18
Table of Contents
• | limit our flexibility in conducting our business, which may place us at a disadvantage compared to competitors with less debt. |
Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on, or to refinance, our indebtedness will depend on our future performance, which to a certain extent is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. There can be no assurance that our business will continue to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service our debt or meet our other cash needs. If we are unable to do so, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt, or to sell assets or obtain additional financing. We cannot assure you that any such refinancing, sale of assets or additional financing would be possible on terms that we would find acceptable.
If we were to breach certain of our debt covenants, our lenders could require us to repay the debt immediately, and, if the debt is secured, could immediately take possession of the property securing the loan. In addition, if any other lender declared its loan in an amount in excess of $5.0 million due and payable as a result of a default, the holders of our public and private notes, along with the lenders under our credit facility and certain other lenders would be able to require that those debts be paid immediately. As a result, any default under our debt covenants could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and our ability to meet our obligations.
We are obligated to comply with financial and other covenants in our debt that could restrict our operating activities, and the failure to comply could result in defaults that accelerate the payment under our debt.
Our secured debt generally contains customary covenants, including, among others, provisions:
• | relating to the maintenance of the property securing the debt; | ||
• | relating to minimum acceptable insurance coverage on our properties; | ||
• | restricting our ability to pledge assets or create other liens; | ||
• | restricting our ability to incur additional debt; | ||
• | restricting our ability to amend or modify existing leases; and | ||
• | restricting our ability to enter into transactions with affiliates. |
Our unsecured debt generally contains various restrictive covenants. The covenants in our unsecured debt include, among others, provisions restricting our ability to:
• | incur additional debt; | ||
• | incur additional secured debt and subsidiary debt; | ||
• | make certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments, including distribution payments on our outstanding units or preferred units, or Crescent’s or our subsidiaries’ outstanding common and preferred equity; | ||
• | limit the ability of restricted subsidiaries to make payments to us; | ||
• | enter into transactions with affiliates; | ||
• | create certain liens; | ||
• | enter into certain sale-leaseback transactions; and | ||
• | consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. |
In addition, certain covenants in our bank facilities require us and our subsidiaries to maintain certain financial ratios, which include minimum debt service ratios, maximum leverage ratios, maximum distributions on our units and preferred units and, in the case of the Operating Partnership, a minimum tangible net worth limitation and a fixed charge coverage ratio. The indentures under which our senior unsecured debt have been issued require 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, in order to incur additional debt.
Any of the covenants described in this risk factor may restrict our operations and our ability to pursue potentially advantageous business opportunities. Our failure to comply with these covenants could also result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all or a substantial portion of our debt.

Many factors affect the trading price of Crescent’s shares, for which our units are exchangable.
As with other publicly traded securities, the trading price of Crescent’s shares will depend on a number of factors that change from time to time, including:
• | our financial condition, performance and prospects; | ||
• | the market for similar securities; | ||
• | additional issuance of other classes or series of Crescent’s shares or our units, particularly preferred shares or units, or the issuance of debt securities; | ||
• | the amount of distributions paid on Crescent’s common and preferred shares and our units and preferred units; | ||
• | an announcement regarding future distribution pay-out ranges on Crescent’s common shares or our units; | ||
• | general economic and financial market conditions; and | ||
• | prevailing interest rates, increases in which may have a negative effect on the trading value of Crescent’s preferred shares and our preferred units. |
Rising interest rates could adversely affect our cash flow and the market price of our outstanding debt securities and preferred units.
Of our approximately $2.3 billion of debt outstanding as of December 31, 2006, approximately $479.6 million bears interest at variable rates and is unhedged. We also may borrow additional funds at variable interest rates in the future. To mitigate part of this risk, we have entered, and in the future may enter into other transactions to limit our exposure to rising interest rates. Increases in interest rates, or the loss of the benefits of any interest rate hedging arrangements, would increase our interest expense on our variable rate debt, which could adversely affect cash flow and our ability to service our debt and meet our obligations. In addition, an increase in market interest rates may lead purchasers of our securities to demand a higher annual yield, which could adversely affect the market price of our outstanding debt securities and preferred units.
The level of our distributions to Crescent’s common shareholders and our unitholders is highly dependent on the implementation of the Strategic Plan.
Lower occupancy levels, reduced rental rates, increased leasing costs and reduced revenues as a result of asset sales have had the effect of reducing our cash flow from operations. For year ended December 31, 2006, our cash flow from operations was insufficient to fully cover the distributions on Crescent’s common shares and our units. We funded this shortfall primarily with a combination of proceeds from asset sales and joint ventures and borrowings under our credit facility. While 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 units and Crescent’s preferred shares, non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures and revenue enhancing capital expenditures (including property improvements, tenant improvements and leasing commissions) in 2007, if Crescent’s Board of Trustees continues to declare distributions on Crescent’s common shares and our units at current levels, we expect that our cash flow from operations will continue to be insufficient to fully cover the equivalent distributions on our units in 2007. We intend to use proceeds from asset sales and joint ventures pursuant to the Strategic Plan to cover this shortfall. In addition, as we implement the Strategic Plan, we intend to align our distributions with industry-accepted pay-out ranges to allow for retention of capital for growth.
The terms of some of our debt may prevent us from paying distributions on our units.
Some of our debt limits our ability to make some types of payments on equity and other distributions to unitholders, which would limit our ability to make some types of payments, including payment of distributions on our units, unless we meet certain financial tests. As a result, if we are unable to meet the applicable financial tests, we may not be able to pay distributions on our units in one or more periods.
Mezzanine loans involve greater risks of loss than senior loans secured by income producing properties.
We invest in mezzanine loans that typically take the form of limited recourse loans made to a special purpose entity which is the direct or indirect parent of another special purpose entity owning a commercial real estate property. These mezzanine loans are secured by a pledge of the ownership interest in the property owner (or in an entity that directly or indirectly owns the property owner) and are thus structurally subordinate to a conventional first mortgage loan made to the property owner. We also offer mezzanine financing by taking a junior participating interest in a first mortgage loan.
These types of investments involve more risk than conventional senior mortgage lending directly secured by real property because these investments are structurally or contractually subordinated to the senior loans (or
20
Table of Contents
senior participations) and may become unsecured as a result of foreclosure by a senior lender on its collateral. While we will typically have cure rights with respect to loans senior to ours and the right to purchase these senior loans if in default, an exercise of this right may require our investing substantial additional capital on short notice to avoid loss of our initial investment.
In addition, mezzanine loans usually have higher loan-to-value ratios than conventional mortgage loans, resulting in less equity in the property and increasing the risk of loss of principal. Reflecting the risk of these loans, mezzanine borrowers are generally required to pay significantly higher rates of interest than conventional mortgage loan borrowers, increasing borrowers’ cash-flow vulnerability. In the event of a bankruptcy of the borrower, we may not have full recourse to the borrower’s assets, or the assets of the borrower may not be sufficient to satisfy our mezzanine loan. Additionally, we have no right to participate in the bankruptcy proceedings of any senior borrower (including the property owner). While we normally obtain recourse guaranties to protect against a voluntary bankruptcy or uncontested involuntary bankruptcy of the mezzanine borrower and the senior borrowers, these guaranties may not fully cover our debt.
As a result of any or all of the foregoing, we may not recover some or all of our mezzanine loan investment.
The use of repurchase agreements to fund our mezzanine notes 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. 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.
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 may 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 interest 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.

Environmental problems are possible and may be costly.
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, we may be required to investigate and clean up certain hazardous or toxic substances released on or in properties we own or operate, and also may be required to pay other costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances. This liability may be imposed without regard to whether we knew about the release of these types of substances or were responsible for their release. The presence of contamination or the failure to remediate properly contamination at any of our properties may adversely affect our ability to sell or lease those properties or to borrow using those properties as collateral. The costs or liabilities could exceed the value of the affected real estate. We have not been notified by any governmental authority, however, of any material environmental non-compliance, liability or other environmental claim in connection with any of our properties, and we are not aware of any other environmental condition with respect to any of our properties that management believes would have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations taken as a whole.
The uses of any of our properties prior to our acquisition of the property and the building materials used at the property are among the property-specific factors that will affect how the environmental laws are applied to our properties. In general, before we purchased each of our properties, independent environmental consultants conducted Phase I environmental assessments, which generally do not involve invasive techniques such as soil or ground water sampling, and where indicated, based on the Phase I results, conducted Phase II environmental assessments which do involve this type of sampling. None of these assessments revealed any materially adverse environmental condition relating to any particular property not previously known to us. We believe that all of those previously known conditions either have been remediated or are in the process of being remediated at this time. There can be no assurance, however, that environmental liabilities have not developed since these environmental assessments were prepared or that future uses or conditions (including changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations) or new information about previously unidentified historical conditions will not result in the imposition of environmental liabilities. If we are subject to any material environmental liabilities, the liabilities could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to meet our obligations.
Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act could be costly.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, all public accommodations and commercial facilities must meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Compliance with the ADA requirements could involve removal of structural barriers from certain disabled persons’ entrances. Other federal, state and local laws may require modifications to or restrict further renovations of our properties with respect to such accesses. Although we believe that our properties are substantially in compliance with present requirements, noncompliance with the ADA or related laws or regulations could result in the United States government’s imposition of fines or in the award to private litigants of damages against us. Costs such as these, as well as the general costs of compliance with these laws or regulations, may adversely affect our ability to meet our obligations.
Our insurance coverage on our properties may be inadequate or unavailable, which may have a material adverse effect on our business.
We currently carry insurance on all of our properties, including insurance for property damage and third-party liability. We believe this coverage is of the type and amount customarily obtained for or by an owner of real property assets. We intend to obtain similar insurance coverage on subsequently acquired properties. Our existing primary insurance policies expire on November 1 annually.
In the future, we may be unable to renew or duplicate our current insurance coverage in adequate amounts or at reasonable prices. In addition, due to events such as the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the recent hurricanes in Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida, insurance companies may no longer offer coverage against certain types of losses, such as losses due to terrorist acts, environmental liabilities, or other catastrophic events including named storms and floods, or, if offered, the expense of obtaining these types of insurance may increase dramatically or may not be justifiable. We therefore may cease to have insurance coverage against certain types of losses and/or there may be decreases in the limits of insurance available. In 2006, insurance companies lowered the amount of named storm insurance offered substantially, or, where offered, the expense increased dramatically. As a result, the amount of named storm coverage we obtained is significantly lower than 2005. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of our insured limits occurs, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property, but still remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property. We cannot guarantee that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. If any of our properties were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could seriously disrupt our operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. Also,
22
Table of Contents
due to inflation, changes in codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors, it may not be feasible to use insurance proceeds to replace a building after it has been damaged or destroyed. Events such as these could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to meet our obligations.
In addition, the debt we use to finance our properties includes covenants that require us to maintain designated levels of insurance coverage with insurers having minimum credit ratings. For example, certain of our loans secured by our coastal properties include requirements that we maintain minimum levels of named storm insurance. If we are unable to maintain insurance that meets the requirements of our lenders and if we are unable to amend or obtain waivers of those requirements, we could be in default under these loan agreements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Competition for acquisitions and dispositions could adversely affect us.
We may compete for available investment opportunities with entities that have greater liquidity or financial resources. Several real estate companies may compete with us in seeking properties for acquisition or land for development and prospective tenants, guests or purchasers. This competition may increase the costs of any acquisitions that we make and adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to meet our obligations by:
• | reducing the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us; and | ||
• | increasing the bargaining power of property owners. |
We face similar competition with other real estate businesses in our efforts to dispose of properties, which may result in lower sales prices. In addition, if a competitor succeeds in making an acquisition in a market in which our properties compete, ownership of that investment by a competitor may adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to meet our obligations by:
• | interfering with our ability to attract and retain tenants, guests or purchasers; and | ||
• | adversely affecting our ability to minimize expenses of operation. |
Acquisitions may fail to perform as expected.
We focus our investment strategy on investment opportunities and markets that offer attractive returns on our invested capital, primarily within our Office Property Segment, with a strategy of acquiring properties at a cost significantly below that which would be required to develop a comparable property. Acquisition of properties entails risks that include the following, any of which could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to meet our obligations:
• | We may not be able to identify suitable properties to acquire or may be unable to complete the acquisition of the properties we select for acquisition; | ||
• | We may not be able to integrate new acquisitions into our existing operations successfully; | ||
• | Our estimate of the costs of improving, repositioning or redeveloping an acquired property may prove to be too low, and, as a result, the property may fail to meet our estimates of the profitability of the property, either temporarily or for a longer time; | ||
• | Office properties, resorts or hotels we acquire may fail to achieve the occupancy and rental or room rates we anticipate at the time we make the decision to invest in the properties, resulting in lower profitability than we expected in analyzing the properties; | ||
• | Our pre-acquisition evaluation of the physical condition of each new investment may not detect certain defects or necessary repairs until after the property is acquired, which could significantly increase our total acquisition costs; and | ||
• | Our investigation of a property or building prior to its acquisition, and any representations we may receive from the seller, may fail to reveal various liabilities, which could effectively reduce the cash flow from the property or building, or increase our acquisition cost. |
We are dependent on our key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.
Our officers, particularly John Goff and Dennis H. Alberts, are critical to the management and direction of our business, and to our implementation of the Strategic Plan. Our future success depends, in large part, on our ability to retain these officers, Crescent’s Trust Managers and other capable management personnel. We do not presently have employment agreements with any of our executive officers. Although we believe that we will be able to attract and retain talented personnel and replace key personnel should the need arise, including by making
23
Table of Contents
retention payments in connection with the Strategic Plan, our inability to do so could disrupt our operations, including implementation of the Strategic Plan. We do not have key-man life insurance for our executive officers.
Provisions of Crescent’s declaration of trust and bylaws could inhibit changes in control or discourage takeover attempts beneficial to our unitholders.
There are certain provisions of Crescent’s declaration of trust and bylaws that may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or making more difficult a change in control and preventing the removal of incumbent directors. The existence of these provisions may discourage third-party bids and reduce any premiums paid for Crescent’s common shares. These include Crescent’s staggered Board of Trust Managers, which makes it more difficult for a third party to gain control of Crescent’s Board, and the ownership limit described below. In addition, any future series of Crescent’s preferred shares may have certain voting provisions that could delay or prevent a change of control or other transaction that might involve a premium price or otherwise be beneficial to our unitholders. The declaration of trust also establishes special requirements with respect to “business combinations,” including certain issuances of Crescent equity securities, between Crescent and an “interested shareholder,” and mandates procedures for obtaining voting rights with respect to “control shares” acquired in a control share acquisition.
Ownership of Crescent shares is subject to limitation for REIT tax purposes.
To remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, not more than 50% in value of Crescent’s outstanding shares may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the federal income tax laws applicable to REITs) at any time during the last half of any taxable year, and Crescent’s outstanding shares must be beneficially owned by 100 or more persons at least 335 days of a taxable year. To facilitate maintenance of Crescent’s REIT qualification, its declaration of trust, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits ownership by any single shareholder of more than 8.0% of Crescent’s issued and outstanding common shares or such greater percentage as established by Crescent’s Board of Trust Managers, but in no event greater than 9.9%, or more than 9.9% of any class of Crescent’s issued and outstanding preferred shares. We refer to these limits together as the “ownership limit.” In addition, the declaration of trust prohibits ownership by Richard E. Rainwater, the Chairman of Crescent’s Board of Trust Managers, together with certain of his affiliates or relatives, initially, of more than 8.0% and subsequently, of more than 9.5% of its issued and outstanding common shares. We refer to this limit as the “Rainwater ownership limit.” Any transfer of shares may be null and void if it causes a person to violate the ownership limit, or Mr. Rainwater, together with his affiliates and relatives, to violate the Rainwater ownership limit, and the intended transferee or holder will acquire no rights in the shares. Those shares will automatically convert into excess shares, and the shareholder’s rights to distributions and to vote will terminate. The shareholder would have the right to receive payment of the purchase price for such excess shares and certain distributions upon our liquidation. Excess shares will be subject to repurchase by Crescent at its election. While the ownership limit and the Rainwater ownership limit help preserve Crescent’s status as a REIT, they could also delay or prevent any person or small group of persons from acquiring, or attempting to acquire, control of Crescent in a transaction beneficial to our unitholders.
The number of Crescent shares available for future sale could adversely affect the market price of Crescent’s publicly traded securities.
We have entered into various private placement transactions whereby units of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership were issued in exchange for properties or interests in properties. These units and interests are currently exchangeable for Crescent common shares on the basis of two shares for each one unit or, at Crescent’s option, an equivalent amount of cash. Upon exchange for Crescent’s common shares, those common shares may be sold in the public market pursuant to registration rights. As of December 31, 2006, approximately 11,320,798 units were outstanding, 8,551,173 of which were exchangeable for 17,102,346 of Crescent common shares or, at Crescent’s option, an equivalent amount of cash. In addition, as of December 31, 2006, the Operating Partnership had outstanding options to acquire approximately 3,159,560 units, of which 482,408 were exercisable and exchangeable for 964,816 of Crescent common shares or, at Crescent’s option, an equivalent amount of cash. These options were exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $34 per unit, or $17 per common share, with a weighted average remaining contractual life of five years. Crescent has also reserved a number of Crescent common shares for issuance pursuant to its employee benefit plans, and such common shares will be available for sale from time to time. As of December 31, 2006, Crescent had outstanding options to acquire approximately 4,562,950 Crescent common shares, of which approximately 4,266,446 options were exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $20, with a weighted average remaining contractual life of three years. We cannot predict
24
Table of Contents
the effect that future sales of Crescent common shares, or the perception that such sales could occur, will have on the market prices of our units.
Failure to qualify as a REIT would cause Crescent to be taxed as a corporation, which would substantially reduce funds available for our payment of distributions.
We intend to continue to operate in a manner that allows Crescent to meet the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code. A REIT generally is not taxed at the corporate level on income it distributes to its shareholders, as long as it distributes at least 90 percent of its income to its shareholders annually and satisfies certain other highly technical and complex requirements. Unlike many REITs, which tend to make only one or two types of real estate investments, Crescent invests in a broad range of real estate products. Several of Crescent’s investments also are more complicated than those of other REITs. As a result, Crescent is likely to encounter a greater number of interpretative issues under the REIT qualification rules, and more issues which lack clear guidance, than are other REITs. We, as a matter of policy, consult with outside tax counsel in structuring our new investments in an effort to allow Crescent to satisfy the REIT qualification rules.
Crescent must meet the requirements of the Code in order to qualify as a REIT now and in the future, so it is possible that Crescent will not continue to qualify as a REIT in the future. The laws and regulations governing federal income taxation are the subject of frequent review and amendment, and proposed or contemplated changes in the laws or regulations may affect Crescent’s ability to qualify as a REIT and the manner in which we conduct our business. If Crescent fails to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, it would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to shareholders in computing taxable income and would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates. In addition to these taxes, Crescent may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Unless Crescent is entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, it could not elect to be taxed as a REIT for four taxable years following any year during which it was first disqualified. Therefore, if Crescent loses its REIT status, it could be required to pay significant income taxes. Because we are Crescent’s only source of funds to make tax payments and distributions, this would reduce our funds available for investments or for distributions to our unitholders. This would likely adversely affect the value of your investment in us. In addition, Crescent would no longer be required by law or its operating agreements to make any distributions to its shareholders, reducing our incentive to make such distributions on our units.
The lower tax rate on dividends from regular corporations may cause investors to prefer to hold stock in regular corporations instead of REITs, which could adversely affect the market price of Crescent’s common shares, for which our units are exchangeable.
On May 28, 2003, the President signed into law the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, which we refer to as the Act. Under the Act, the current maximum tax rate on the long-term capital gains of non-corporate taxpayers is reduced to 15% for the tax years beginning on or before December 31, 2008. The Act also reduced the tax rate on “qualified dividend income” to the maximum capital gains rate. Because, as a REIT, Crescent is not generally subject to tax on the portion of its REIT taxable income or capital gains distributed to its shareholders, its distributions are not generally eligible for this new tax rate on dividends. As a result, the non-capital-gain portion of Crescent’s REIT distributions generally continues to be taxed at the higher tax rates applicable to ordinary income. Without further legislation, the maximum tax rate on long-term capital gains will revert to 20% in 2009, and dividends will again be subject to tax at ordinary rates.
Our results of operations and financial condition may be affected by a recently enacted law, which subjects us to the revised Texas franchise tax.
On May 18, 2006, the Texas Governor signed into law HB 3, a franchise tax reform bill. The revised franchise tax, which will first be due in May 2008 based on 2007 financial results, will be a tax based on taxable margin (commonly referred to as the “Margin Tax”). Unlike the existing franchise tax, the Margin Tax will be imposed on substantially all businesses that have statutory liability protection, including Texas real estate investment trusts and limited partnerships, such as Crescent and the Operating Partnership. Payment of the Margin Tax may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

(1) | Office Property Table data is presented without adjustments to reflect our actual ownership percentage in joint ventured properties. Our actual ownership percentage in each property has been included for informational purposes. | |
(2) | Calculated in accordance with GAAP based on base rent payable as of December 31, 2006, giving effect to free rent and scheduled rent increases and including adjustments for expenses payable by or reimbursable from customers. The weighted average full-service rental rate for the El Paso lease (Greenway Plaza, Houston, Texas) reflects weighted average full-service rental rate over the shortened term (due to lease termination effective as of December 31, 2007) and excludes the impact of the net lease termination fee being amortized into revenue through December 31, 2007. | |
(3) | Leases have been executed at certain Office Properties but had not commenced as of December 31, 2006. If such leases had commenced as of December 31, 2006, the percent leased for Office Properties would have been 92.6%. Properties whose percent leased exceeds economic occupancy by 5 percentage points or more are as follows: Stanford Corporate Centre — 94.1%, Fullbright Tower — 91.7%, BriarLake Plaza — 97.3, Regency Plaza — 93.8% and Miami Center — 98.8%. | |
(4) | The weighted average full-service cash rental rate per square foot calculated based on base rent payable for Office Properties as of December 31, 2006, without giving effect to free rent and scheduled rent increases that are taken into consideration under GAAP but including adjustments for expenses paid by or reimbursed from customers is $22.55. | |
(5) | Property statistics exclude Financial Plaza (acquired January 2006). This office property will be included in portfolio statistics once stabilized. Stabilization is deemed to occur upon the earlier of (a) achieving 90% occupancy, (b) one year following the acquisition date or date placed in service (related to developments), or (c) two years following the acquisition date for properties which are being repositioned. |

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Unitholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Our actual results of operations and the amounts actually available for distribution will be affected by a number of factors, including:
• | the general condition of the United States economy; | ||
• | general leasing activity and rental rates in the markets in which the Office Properties are located; | ||
• | the ability of tenants to meet their rent obligations; | ||
• | our operating and interest expenses; | ||
• | consumer preferences relating to the Resort/Hotel Properties and the Resort Residential Development Properties; | ||
• | cash flows from unconsolidated and consolidated entities; | ||
• | the level of our property acquisitions and dispositions; | ||
• | capital expenditure requirements; | ||
• | federal, state and local taxes payable by us; and | ||
• | the adequacy of cash reserves. |
There is no established public trading market for our limited partner interests, including the associated units for limited partners other than Crescent and the General Partner. The following table sets forth the cash distributions paid per unit during each quarter of fiscal years 2006 and 2005. As of March 22, 2007, there were approximately 74 holders of record of our units.

Our future distributions will be at the discretion of Crescent’s Board of Trust Managers. Crescent’s Board of Trust Managers has indicated that it will review our distribution rate on a quarterly basis and, as part of the implementation of the Strategic Plan, it intends to align its dividend with industry-accepted pay-out ranges to allow for retention of capital for growth.

Overview
We are the Operating Partnership of Crescent Real Estate Equities Company, a REIT, with our assets and operations divided into four investment segments: Office, Resort Residential Development, Resort/Hotel and Temperature-Controlled Logistics. Our strategy, prior to full implementation of the Strategic Plan discussed below, had two key elements as outlined below.
First, we selectively invest in premier office properties in markets that offer attractive returns on invested capital. We may align ourselves with institutional partners to enhance our return on equity when compared to the returns we receive as a 100% owner. Where possible, we negotiate performance-based incentives on our joint ventures that allow for additional equity to be earned if return targets are exceeded. For example, we earned promoted interests on the sales of the Three Westlake and Four Westlake Office Properties in 2006. We also evaluate our existing portfolio for joint-venture opportunities that enable us to increase our return on equity and provide access to equity for reinvestment. We currently hold 43% of our office portfolio in joint ventures.
We selectively develop new office properties where the opportunity exists for attractive returns. In August 2006, we completed, with JMI Realty, a 232,330 square-foot, three-building complex in San Diego, California and sold our interest in the property in December 2006 for a $10.4 million gain. We are also developing a 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 267,000 square-foot office building in Irvine, California, and with Champion Partners, a 144,380 square-foot, two-building office complex in Austin, Texas.
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 532 have been sold, 73 are currently in inventory and over 1,950 are scheduled for development over the next 14 years, and is expected to generate in excess of $5.0 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 addition, we sometimes serve as the primary developer, such as The Ritz-Carlton Phases I and II. Also, we provide mezzanine financing to other office, hotel and residential investors where we see attractive returns relative to owning the equity. We currently have approximately $124.3 million of mezzanine notes.
In 2005, we also completed the recapitalization of our Canyon Ranch investment. In addition to its wellness facilities in Tucson, Arizona and Lenox, Massachusetts and its Spa Club operation at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, Canyon Ranch partners with developers to establish Canyon Ranch Living communities at which the focal point is a large, comprehensive wellness facility and earns fees for the licensing of the brand name to these communities, providing design and technical services, and the ongoing management of the facilities. One such development is under construction in Miami Beach and an agreement that will pave the way for the development of a Canyon Ranch Living community in Chicago, Illinois, and others, are under consideration or in negotiation.
During 2006, Crescent conducted an extensive review of its strategic alternatives, and in late August received an offer to purchase certain assets. Crescent’s Board of Trust Managers established a special committee of independent trust managers to assist in its consideration of the strategic alternatives and to respond to the offer that was received. The Special Committee hired an independent investment banker and counsel to assist with its review. The Special Committee rejected the offer received, and on November 1, 2006, instituted a formal review of Crescent’s strategic alternatives.
On March 1, 2007, Crescent announced that it had concluded the review of strategic alternatives first announced on November 1, 2006. Based on that review, Crescent adopted a plan, which we refer to as the Strategic Plan, designed to simplify its and our business model by concentrating on our core office properties business.
Key elements of the Strategic Plan include:
• | Sale of all resort and hotel assets.Properties to be sold include the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa®, Ventana Inn & Spa in Big Sur, California, the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa, and three business-class hotels. | ||
• | Sale of resort residential developments.Properties and assets to be sold include Crescent Resort Development and Desert Mountain Development Corporation. | ||
• | Opportunistic sale of office properties.Properties to be sold include virtually all suburban Dallas properties and all Austin properties, as well as our single assets in Phoenix, Arizona, and in Seattle, Washington. |

• | Reduction of general and administrative expenses by more than $17.0 million, or $0.28 per unit.Implementation of savings began immediately on March 1, 2007 and is expected to be fully phased in by the end of 2007. We expect to take a charge of approximately $5.0 million for severance costs. | ||
• | Use of sales proceeds to retire debt. We plan to first use the proceeds from asset sales to retire debt. We expect that our balance sheet will be significantly strengthened and our cost of capital lowered, giving us capacity for growth. | ||
• | Alignment of dividend.We intend to align our distribution to allow Crescent to align its dividend with industry-accepted pay-out ranges to allow for retention of capital for growth. |
In addition to the above elements, Crescent is considering alternatives for our interest in Canyon Ranch® in conjunction with the founders of Canyon Ranch®. We will communicate our distribution plans as we execute asset sales. After completing these dispositions, our remaining office portfolio is expected to consist of 22.6 million square feet, of which 11.7 million square feet, or 52%, will be owned in joint venture. Our effective ownership will be 14.0 million square feet.

Resort/Hotel Segment
Park Hyatt Beaver Creek
In the second quarter of 2006, 85 rooms were taken out of service at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek in Avon, Colorado. The area occupied by 55 of these rooms is being converted into 15 fractional units for sale in our Resort Residential Development Segment. Sales of fractional units commenced in 2006. The remaining space was used to expand the Allegria Spa within the hotel. In addition, the Resort is adding air conditioning and upgrading the common areas. The spa expansion and common area upgrade were completed in December 2006.
On March 10, 2007, an agreement became effective for the sale of all assets included in the Resort/Hotel segment. The purchaser has the right to terminate the agreement until the expiration of a due diligence period on March 26, 2007. If the purchaser has not terminated the agreement by the expiration of the due diligence period, closing of the transaction, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, is anticipated to occur during the second quarter of 2007. On March 23, 2007, an amendment to the agreement became effective to include an office property adjacent to an asset included in the Resort/Hotel segment and to extend the due diligence period by one week, from March 26, 2007 to April 2, 2007. Closing of the transaction continues to be anticipated during the second quarter of 2007.
Temperature-Controlled Logistics Segment
In August 2006, AmeriCold entered into a definitive agreement to acquire from ConAgra Foods, Inc. or ConAgra, four refrigerated warehouse facilities and the lease on a fifth facility, with an option to purchase. These five warehouses contain a total of 1.7 million square feet and 48.9 million cubic feet. The aggregate purchase price is approximately $190.0 million, consisting of $152.0 million in cash to ConAgra and $38.0 million representing the recording of a capital lease obligation for the fifth facility. During the fourth quarter of 2006, AmeriCold completed the acquisition of two of these facilities and assumed the leasehold on the fifth facility and the related capital lease obligation. In January 2007, AmeriCold completed the acquisition of the third facility. The acquisition of the remaining facility is expected to be completed during the first half of 2007.

Table of Contents
In December 2006, AmeriCold completed a 5.45% fixed-rate, interest-only financing in an aggregate principal amount of $1.05 billion which matures in approximately equal tranches in seven, nine and ten years. The proceeds were used to repay $449.0 million of fixed-rate mortgages with a rate of 6.89% and a $430.0 million variable rate mortgage. The mortgages that were repaid were collateralized by 84 temperature-controlled warehouses which were released upon repayment. Fifty of the warehouses are used to collateralize the new loan. A portion of the remaining proceeds were distributed to the owners, of which our portion was approximately $58.7 million.
Other Segment
Mezzanine Notes
We offer mezzanine financing in the form of limited recourse loans that are made to a special purpose entity which is the direct or indirect parent of another special purpose entity owning a commercial real estate property. These mezzanine loans are secured by a pledge of the ownership interest in the property owner (or in an entity that directly or indirectly owns the property owner) and are thus structurally subordinate to a conventional first mortgage loan made to the property owner. We also offer mezzanine financing by taking a junior participating interest in a first mortgage loan.
45
Table of Contents
The underlying real estate assets may be a single office, hotel or residential property, or a portfolio of cross-collateralized real estate assets. We typically require recourse guaranties from the ultimate owners of the property for such matters as voluntary bankruptcy filings, failure to contest involuntary bankruptcy filings, violation of special purpose entity covenants, environmental liability and other events such as misappropriation of rents or insurance. Although these types of loans generally have greater repayment risks than first mortgages due to the subordinated nature of the loans and the higher loan-to-value ratio, we have a disciplined approach in underwriting the value of the asset. The yield on these investments may be enhanced by front-end fees, prepayment fees, yield look-backs, participating interests and additional fees to allow prepayment during a prepayment black-out period.

(1) | The loan has an interest-only term through September 2007. Beginning October 2007, the borrower must make principal payments based on a 30-year amortization schedule until maturity.

In 2006, we received approximately $110.2 million of net proceeds, after the repayment of debt, for the repayment of five of our mezzanine notes, which included $6.2 million of prepayment fees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations, our credit facility, construction loans and proceeds from asset sales and joint ventures. Our short-term liquidity requirements through December 31, 2007 consists primarily of our normal operating expenses, maturity of our 7.5% senior unsecured notes due September 2007, the 2007 Notes, recurring principal and interest payments on our debt, Resort Residential Development capital expenditures, capital expenditures for operating properties, potential redemption of restricted units from the Operating Partnership and distributions to our unitholders. Our long-term liquidity requirements are substantially similar to our short-term liquidity requirements other than the level of debt obligations maturing after December 31, 2007.
We intend on using the proceeds from the substantial asset sales that we expect to make in accordance with the Strategic Plan which is discussed in the Overview section to this Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
57
Table of Contents
and Results of Operations” to address many of our long-term liquidity requirements early, including: retiring our 9.25% senior notes due April 2009, the 2009 Notes, selected mortgage debt, our Series B Preferred Units and outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Additionally, if and when we sell our Resort Residential Development Properties, we expect to eliminate all related construction debt as well as future Resort Residential capital expenditures.
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 units, non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures and revenue enhancing capital expenditures (including property improvements, tenant improvements and leasing commissions) in 2007. The cash flow from our Resort Residential Development Segment is cyclical in nature and primarily realized in the last quarter of each year. While we expect to sell virtually all of the investments comprising this segment in 2007, we may meet temporary shortfalls in operating cash flow caused by this cyclicality through working capital draws under our credit facility, additional borrowings or asset sales in accordance with the Strategic Plan. As of December 31, 2006, we had up to $239.3 million of borrowing capacity available under our credit facility. If Crescent’s Board of Trustees continues to declare distributions on our units at current levels, our cash flow from operations, after payments discussed above, is not expected to fully cover such distributions on our units in 2007. However, as part of the Strategic Plan, we intend to align our distributions with industry-accepted pay-out ranges to allow for retention of capital for growth. We will communicate our distribution plans as we execute asset sales. In the meantime, we intend to use proceeds from any asset sales and joint ventures and borrowings under our credit facility to cover any distribution shortfall.
In addition, through December 31, 2007, we may make capital expenditures that are not in the ordinary course of operations of our business of approximately $140.3 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 and any asset sales. As of December 31, 2006, we also had maturing debt obligations of $750.0 million through December 31, 2007, made up primarily of the maturity of the 2007 Notes, the GACC Note (which has three one-year extension options), Funding I Defeasance (to be repaid from proceeds of defeasance investments), the Mass Mutual Note and the KeyBank II loan. The 2007 Notes are expected to be repaid using proceeds from asset sales in accordance with the Strategic Plan. We intend to refinance or pay off with asset sales the Mass Mutual and KeyBank II loans. In addition, $108.3 million of these maturing debt obligations relate to the Resort Residential Development Segment and are expected to be repaid with the sales of the corresponding land or units or are expected to be refinanced with additional debt facilities. The remaining maturities consist primarily of normal principal amortization and are expected to be met with cash flow from operations.
Long-Term Liquidity
Our long-term liquidity requirements as of December 31, 2006, consist primarily of $1.5 billion of debt maturing after December 31, 2007, some of which we expect to repay in 2007 from asset sales as discussed above. We anticipate meeting these obligations, to the extent that these obligations remain outstanding after we have fully implemented the Strategic Plan, 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 joint ventures.
We anticipate that long-term liquidity requirements will also include amounts required for future unidentified property acquisitions, mezzanine notes and capital expenditures. Property acquisitions and capital expenditures are expected to be funded with any cash reserves remaining from asset sales made in accordance with the Strategic Plan, 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 future asset sales and joint ventures. Mezzanine notes 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 and committed projects.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, our cash flow from operations was insufficient to fully cover the distributions on our units. We funded this shortfall primarily with a combination of proceeds from asset sales and borrowings under our credit facility.

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 December 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, contractors 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.

Table of Contents
(11) | The Credit Facility has a maximum borrowing capacity of $366.8 million. The $118.0 million outstanding at December 31, 2006, excludes letters of credit issued under the facility of $9.5 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. | |
(12) | 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 7.27%. |
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, 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 the Credit Facility, the 2007 Notes, 2009 Notes, KeyBank I Loan, Morgan Stanley II Loan, Goldman Sachs Loan, Societe Generale I Construction Loan and KeyBank II 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.
As of December 31, 2006, no event of default had occurred. 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 year ended December 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 80%, 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 December 31, 2006, we had outstanding repurchase obligations under two repurchase agreements totaling $32.3 million with a weighted average borrowing rate of 7.17%.
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 December 31, 2006, we had interest rate swaps and interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges, which are accounted for in conformity with SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 138,Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133and SFAS No. 149,Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

In addition, three of our unconsolidated companies have interest rate caps and swaps designated as cash flow hedges of which our portion of change in unrealized losses reflected in OCI was $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Unconsolidated Debt Arrangements
As of December 31, 2006, the total debt of the unconsolidated joint ventures and investments in which we have ownership interests was $2.3 billion, of which our share was $705.6 million. We guaranteed $1.0 million of this debt as of December 31, 2006. Additional information relating to our unconsolidated debt financing arrangements is contained in Note 10, “Investments in Unconsolidated Companies,” of Item 1, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
Share Repurchase Program
Crescent commenced its share repurchase program in March 2000. On October 15, 2001, Crescent’s Board of Trust Managers increased from $500.0 million to $800.0 million the amount of outstanding common shares that can be repurchased from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. There were no share repurchases under the program for the year ended December 31, 2006. As of December 31, 2006, Crescent had repurchased 20,256,423 common shares under the share repurchase program, at an aggregate cost of approximately $386.9 million, resulting in an average repurchase price of $19.10 per common share. All repurchased shares were recorded as treasury shares. The repurchase of common shares by Crescent will result in a decrease in its limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership which will result in an increase in net income per unit.
Shelf Registration Statement
On October 29, 1997, Crescent filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC relating to the future offering of up to an aggregate of $1.5 billion of common shares, preferred shares and warrants exercisable for common shares. Management believes the shelf registration statement will provide us with more efficient and immediate access to capital markets when considered appropriate. As of March 5, 2007, approximately $510.0 million was available under the shelf registration statement for the issuance of securities.

Significant Accounting Policies
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on 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, and contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities where that information is available from other sources. Certain estimates are particularly sensitive due to their significance to the financial statements. Actual results may differ significantly from management’s estimates.
We believe that the most significant accounting policies that involve the use of estimates and assumptions as to future uncertainties and, therefore, may result in actual amounts that differ from estimates are the following:
• | Impairments, | ||
• | Acquisition of operating properties, | ||
• | Relative sales method and percentage of completion (Resort Residential Development entities), | ||
• | Gain recognition on sale of real estate assets, | ||
• | Consolidation of variable interest entities, and | ||
• | Allowance for doubtful accounts. |
Impairments.Real estate, leasehold improvements and intangible assets are classified as long-lived assets held for sale or long-lived assets to be held and used. Assets classified as held and used are evaluated for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When expected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of a Property and we do not expect to recover our carrying costs, an impairment loss is recognized. For Properties classified as held for use, we reduce carrying costs to fair value. For Properties held for disposition, we reduce carrying costs to the fair value less estimated selling costs in accordance with SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Our estimates of cash flows of the Properties requires us to make assumptions related to future rental rates, occupancies, operating expenses, the ability of our tenants to perform pursuant to their lease obligations and proceeds to be generated from the eventual sale of our Properties. Any changes in estimated future cash flows due to changes in our plans or views of market and economic conditions could result in recognition of additional impairment losses.
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually, using the fair value based test prescribed by SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Our impairment review is judgmental and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Estimates of fair value are primarily determined using discounted cash flow methods and are dependent upon assumptions of future sales trends, market conditions, future cash flow and applicable discount rates. A change in these underlying assumptions could cause a change in the results of our analysis and, as such, could cause the fair value to be less than the respective carrying amount. Such an event would result in recognition of impairment losses.
If events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an investment accounted for using the equity method has declined below its carrying value and we consider the decline to be “other than temporary,” the investment is written down to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. The evaluation of impairment for an investment would be based on a number of factors, including financial condition and operating results for the investment, inability to remain in compliance with provisions of any related debt agreements, and recognition of impairments by other investors. Impairment recognition would negatively impact the recorded value of our investment and reduce net income.
Acquisition of operating properties.We allocate the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identified intangible assets acquired based on their fair values in accordance with SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations. We initially record the allocation based on a preliminary purchase price allocation with adjustments recorded during the allocation period, not to exceed one year from the acquisition.
In making estimates of fair value for purposes of allocating purchase price, management utilizes sources, including, but not limited to, independent value consulting services, independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with financing the respective property, and other market data. Management also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired.
67
Table of Contents
The aggregate value of the tangible assets acquired is measured based on the sum of (i) the value of the property and (ii) the present value of the unamortized in-place tenant improvement allowances. Management’s estimates of the value of the property are made using models similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by management in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs such as real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals during the expected lease-up period assuming current market conditions. The value of the property is then allocated among building, land, site improvements, and equipment. The value of tenant improvements is separately estimated due to the different depreciable lives.
The aggregate value of intangible assets acquired is measured based on the difference between (i) the purchase price and (ii) the value of the tangible assets acquired as defined above. This value is then allocated among above-market and below-market in-place lease values, costs to execute similar leases (including leasing commissions, legal expenses and other related expenses), in-place lease values and customer relationship values.
Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties are calculated based on the present value (using a market interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of the below-market fixed rate renewal option, if any, for below-market leases. We perform this analysis on a lease by lease basis. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term plus the term of the below-market fixed rate renewal option, if any, of the respective leases.
Management estimates costs to execute leases similar to those acquired at the property at acquisition based on current market conditions. These costs are recorded based on the present value of the amortized in-place leasing costs on a lease by lease basis over the remaining term of each lease.
The in-place lease values and customer relationship values are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each customer’s lease and our overall relationship with that respective customer. Characteristics considered by management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the customer, growth prospects for developing new business with the customer, the customer’s credit quality, and the expectation of lease renewals, among other factors. The in-place lease value and customer relationship value are both amortized to expense over the initial term of the respective leases and projected renewal periods, but in no event does the amortization period for the intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building.
Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the costs to execute similar leases, in-place lease value and the customer relationship value and above-market and below-market lease values would be charged to expense.
Relative sales method and percentage of completion.We use the accrual method to recognize earnings from the sale of Resort Residential Development Properties after closing has taken place, title has been transferred, sufficient cash has been received to demonstrate the buyer’s commitment to pay for the property and collection of the balance of the sales price, if any, is reasonably assured. If a sale does not qualify for the accrual method of recognition, deferral methods are used as appropriate including the percentage-of-completion method. In certain cases, when we receive an inadequate cash down payment and take a promissory note for the balance of the sales price, revenue recognition is deferred until such time as sufficient cash is received to meet minimum down payment requirements. The cost of resort residential property sold is defined based on the type of product being purchased. The cost of sales for resort residential lots is generally determined as a specific percentage of the sales revenues recognized for each Resort Residential Development project. The percentages are based on total estimated development costs and sales revenue for each Resort Residential Development project. These estimates are revised annually and are based on the then-current development strategy and operating assumptions utilizing internally developed projections for product type, revenue and related development costs. The cost of sales for resort residential units (such as townhomes and condominiums) is determined using the relative sales value method. If the resort residential unit has been sold prior to the completion of infrastructure cost, and those uncompleted costs are not significant in relation to total costs, the full accrual method is utilized. Under this method, 100% of the revenue is recognized, and a commitment liability is established to reflect the allocated estimated future costs to complete the resort residential unit. If our estimates of costs or the percentage of completion is incorrect, it could result in either an increase or decrease in cost of sales expense or revenue recognized and therefore, an increase or decrease in net income.
Gain recognition on sale of real estate assets.In accordance with SFAS No. 66,Accounting for Sales of Real Estate,we perform evaluations of each real estate sale to determine if full gain recognition is appropriate and of each sale or contribution of a property to a joint venture to determine if partial gain recognition is appropriate. The application of SFAS No. 66 can be complex and requires us to make assumptions including an assessment of whether the risks and rewards of ownership have been
68
Table of Contents
transferred, the extent of the purchaser’s investment in the property being sold, whether our receivables, if any, related to the sale are collectible and are subject to subordination, and the degree of our continuing involvement with the real estate asset after the sale. If full gain recognition is not appropriate, we account for the sale under an appropriate deferral method.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.We perform evaluations of each of our investments, investment partnerships, real estate partnerships, mezzanine investments and joint ventures to determine if the associated entities constitute a Variable Interest Entity, or VIE, as defined under Interpretations 46 and 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” or FIN 46 and 46R, respectively. In general, a VIE is an entity that has (i) an insufficient amount of equity for the entity to carry on its principal operations, without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, (ii) a group of equity owners that are unable to make decisions about the entity’s activities, or (iii) equity that does not absorb the entity’s losses or receive the benefits of the entity. If any one of these characteristics is present, the entity is subject to FIN 46R’s variable interests consolidation model.
Quantifying the variability of VIEs is complex and subjective, requiring consideration and estimates of a significant number of possible future outcomes as well as the probability of each outcome occurring. The results of each possible outcome are allocated to the parties holding interests in the VIE and based on the allocation, a calculation is performed to determine which party, if any, has a majority of the potential negative outcomes (expected losses) or a majority of the potential positive outcomes (expected residual returns). That party, if any, is the VIE’s primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the VIE. Calculating expected losses and expected residual returns requires modeling potential future results of the entity, assigning probabilities to each potential outcome, and allocating those potential outcomes to the VIE’s interest holders. If our estimates of possible outcomes and probabilities are incorrect, it could result in the inappropriate consolidation or deconsolidation of the VIE.
For entities that do not constitute VIE’s, we consider other GAAP, as required, determining (i) consolidation of the entity if our ownership interests comprise a majority of its outstanding voting stock or otherwise control the entity, or (ii) application of the equity method of accounting if we do not have direct or indirect control of the entity, with the initial investment carried at cost and subsequently adjusted for our share of net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions to and from these entities. Further, we evaluate, under 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,entities for which we have a general partner interest to determine the nature of limited partners’ rights in assessing whether those rights overcome the presumption that we control the limited partnership entity.
Allowance for doubtful accounts/credit losses.Our accounts receivable balance is reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. Our receivable balance is composed primarily of rents and operating cost recoveries due from tenants, receivables associated with club memberships at our Resort Residential Development properties and guest receivables at our Resort/Hotel properties. We also maintain an allowance for deferred rent receivables which arise from the straight-lining of rents. The allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed at least quarterly for adequacy by reviewing such factors as the credit quality of our tenants or members, any delinquency in payment, historical trends and current economic conditions. If the assumptions regarding the collectibility of accounts receivable prove incorrect, we could experience write-offs in excess of allowance for doubtful accounts, which would result in a decrease in net income.
Mezzanine notes are reviewed for potential impairment at each balance sheet date. A mezzanine note is considered impaired when it becomes probable, based on current information, that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the mezzanine note contractual terms. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured by comparing the recorded amount of the mezzanine note to the present value of the expected cash flows or the fair value of the collateral. If a mezzanine note was deemed to be impaired, we would record a reserve for loan losses through a charge to income for any shortfall. To date, no such impairment charges have been recognized.
Impact 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
69
Table of Contents
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 $0.2 million of expense will be recorded for the year ended December 31, 2007, for stock and unit options due to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R.
EITF 04-5.In June 2005, the EITF ratified the consensus in Issue No. 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), which states that the general partner in a limited partnership is presumed to control that limited partnership. This presumption may be overcome if the limited partners have either (1) the substantive ability to dissolve the limited partnership or otherwise remove the general partner without cause or (2) substantive participating rights, which provide the limited partners with the ability to effectively participate in significant decisions that would be expected to be made in the ordinary course of business and thereby preclude the general partner from exercising unilateral control over the partnership. EITF 04-5 is effective June 30, 2005 for new or modified limited partnership arrangements and effective January 1, 2006 for existing limited partnership arrangements. There was no impact to our financial condition or results of operations from the adoption of EITF 04-5.
EITF 06-3.At its June 2006 meeting, the EITF ratified the consensus regarding Issue No. 06-3 (EITF 06-3),How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation). EITF 06-3 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2006, with earlier application permitted. The scope of EITF 06-3 includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer, and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value added, and certain excise taxes. The consensus indicates that gross vs. net income statement classification of those taxes within its scope is an accounting policy decision. In addition, for taxes within its scope, the consensus requires the following disclosures: the accounting policy elected for these taxes and the amounts of the taxes reflected gross (as revenue) in the income statement on an interim and annual basis. We do not believe there will be an impact to our financial condition or results of operations from the adoption of EITF 06-3.
FASB Interpretation 48.In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,(FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes.FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The standard also provides guidance on derecognizing, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and are to be applied to all tax positions upon initial adoption of this standard. Only tax positions that meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized upon adoption of FIN 48. We expect to record less than $1.0 million as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning “Partners’ Capital” as of January 1, 2007 from the adoption of FIN 48.
SFAS No. 157.In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements. The new FASB rule defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, to our financial condition or results of operations from the adoption of SFAS No. 157.
SAB No. 108.In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,Financial Statements – Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, (SAB 108), which is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. SAB No. 108 provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have an impact to our financial condition or results of operations.
EITF 06-8.At its November 2006 meeting, the EITF ratified the consensus regarding Issue No. 06-8 (EITF 06-8),Applicability of the Assessment of a Buyer’s Continuing Investment under FASB Statement No. 66 for Sales Of Condominiums. EITF 06-8 is effective for annual periods beginning after March 15, 2007. The scope of EITF 06-8 is limited to the sale of individual units in a condominium project and requires an entity to evaluate the adequacy of the buyer’s initial and continuing investment for purposes of determining whether the sales price is collectible as required to recognize profit using the percentage-of-completion method under paragraph 37 of Statement 66. If the buyer does not meet the initial and continuing investment criteria, the guidance requires use of the deposit method to recognize profit. We do not believe there will be an impact to our financial condition or results of operations from the adoption of EITF 06-8.

Funds from Operations
FFO, as used in this document, means: |
• | Net Income (Loss) – determined in accordance with GAAP; | ||
• | excluding gains (or 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 partners – diluted in this manner, except that Net Income (Loss) is replaced by Net Income (Loss) Available to Partners.
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 partners – diluted and FFO appropriate measures of performance for an operating partnership of an equity REIT and for its investment segments. However, FFO available to partners – 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 partners – 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 partners – diluted may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of operating partnerships of other REITs because these operating partnerships may apply the definition of FFO in a different manner than we apply it.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our use of financial instruments, such as debt instruments and mezzanine notes receivable, subjects us to market risk which may affect our future earnings and cash flows as well as the fair value of its assets. Market risk generally refers to the risk of loss from changes in interest rates and market prices. We manage our market risk by attempting to match anticipated inflow of cash from our operating, investing and financing activities with anticipated outflow of cash to fund debt payments, distributions to unitholders, investments, capital expenditures and other cash requirements. We also enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument or to effectively lock the interest rate on a portion of our variable rate debt.
The following discussion of market risk is based solely on hypothetical changes in interest rates related to our variable rate debt and variable rate mezzanine notes receivable. This discussion does not purport to take into account all of the factors that may affect the financial instruments discussed in this section.
Interest Rate Risk
Debt
Our interest rate risk is most sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates on our short-term variable rate debt. We had total outstanding debt of approximately $2.3 billion at December 31, 2006, of which approximately $479.6 million, or approximately 21%, was unhedged variable rate debt. The variable rate debt is based on an index (LIBOR or Prime) plus a credit spread. The weighted average interest rate on such unhedged variable rate debt was 7.3% as of December 31, 2006. A 10% increase in the underlying index would cause an increase of 62.1 basis points to the weighted average interest rate on such variable rate debt, which would result in an annual decrease in net income and cash flows of approximately $3.0 million. Conversely, a 10% decrease in the underlying index would cause a decrease of 62.1 basis points to the weighted average interest rate on such unhedged variable rate debt, which would result in an annual increase in net income and cash flows of approximately $3.0 million based on the unhedged variable rate debt outstanding as of December 31, 2006.
Mezzanine Notes
Our mezzanine notes receivable are sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable loans. We had total outstanding mezzanine loans of approximately $124.3 million at December 31, 2006, of which approximately $106.8 million, or approximately 86%, were variable rate loans. The variable rate is based on an index (LIBOR) plus a credit spread. The weighted average interest rate on such variable rate loans was 14.0% as of December 31, 2006. A 10% increase in the underlying index would cause an increase of 53.6 basis points to the weighted average interest rate on such variable rate loans, which would result in an annual increase in net income and cash flows of approximately $0.6 million. Conversely, a 10% decrease in the underlying index would cause a decrease of 53.6 basis points to the weighted average interest rate on such variable rate loans, which would result in an annual decrease in net income and cash flows of approximately $0.6 million based on the variable rate loans outstanding as of December 31, 2006.
Cash Flow Hedges
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 December 31, 2006, total variable rate debt was $767.2 million, of which $287.6 million was hedged. A description of these derivative financial instruments is contained in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Equity and Debt Financing – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Sole Director of Crescent Real Estate Equities, Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits. The financial statements of AmeriCold Realty Trust (AmeriCold), a corporation in which the Partnership has a 31.7% interest for 2006, have been audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us; and our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for AmeriCold, is based solely on the report of the other auditors. In the consolidated financial statements, the Partnership’s investment in AmeriCold is stated at $87,069,000 at December 31, 2006, and the Partnership’s equity in the net loss of AmeriCold is stated at $15,669,000, for the year then ended.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and, for 2006, the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited Partnership at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the 2005 and 2004 consolidated financial statements have been restated to correct errors in recording membership deposits and intangible assets, including the related minority interest and tax impact. Additionally, as discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2006 the Partnership changed its method of accounting for stock-based compensation.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 26, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment and an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
References to “we,” “us,” “our” and “the Operating Partnership” refer to Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited Partnership, and, unless the context otherwise requires, our direct and indirect subsidiaries; “Crescent” refers to Crescent Real Estate Equities Company and “the General Partner” refers to Crescent Real Estate Equities, Ltd., our sole general partner.
We were formed under the terms of a limited partnership agreement dated February 9, 1994. We are controlled by Crescent through Crescent’s ownership of all of the outstanding stock of our General Partner, which owns a 1% general partner interest in us. In addition, Crescent owns an approximately 81% limited partner interest in us, with the remaining approximately 18% limited partner interest held by other limited partners.
All of our limited partners, other than Crescent, own, in addition to limited partner interests, units. Each unit generally entitles the holder to exchange the unit (and the related limited partner interest) for two common shares of Crescent or, at Crescent’s option, an equivalent amount of cash. For purposes of this report, the term “unit” or “unit of partnership interest” refers to the limited partner interest and, if applicable, related units held by a limited partner. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2006, Crescent’s approximately 81% limited partner interest has been treated as equivalent, for purposes of this report, to 50,750,346 units and the remaining approximately 18% limited partner interest has been treated as equivalent, for purposes of this report, to 11,320,798 units. In addition, Crescent’s 1% general partner interest has been treated as equivalent, for purposes of this report, to 626,981 units.
Crescent owns its assets and carries on its operations and other activities through us and our subsidiaries. Our limited partnership agreement acknowledges that all of Crescent’s operating expenses are incurred for our benefit and provides that we will reimburse Crescent for all such expenses.
Crescent Finance Company, a Delaware corporation wholly owned by us, was organized in March 2002 for the sole purpose of acting as co-issuer with us of $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior notes due 2009. Crescent Finance Company does not conduct operations of its own.

• | Temperature-Controlled Logistics Segment. |
Within these segments, we owned in whole or in part the following operating real estate assets, which we refer to as the Properties, as of December 31, 2006:
• | Office Segmentconsisted of 71 office properties, which we refer to as the Office Properties, located in 26 metropolitan submarkets in eight states, with an aggregate of approximately 27.6 million net rentable square feet. Fifty-four of the Office Properties are wholly-owned and 17 are owned through joint ventures, one of which is consolidated and 16 of which are unconsolidated. | ||
• | Resort Residential Development Segmentconsisted of our ownership of common stock representing interests of 98% to 100% in four Resort Residential Development Corporations and two limited partnerships, which are consolidated. These Resort Residential Development Corporations, through partnership arrangements, owned in whole or in part, 30 active and planned upscale resort residential development properties, which we refer to as the Resort Residential Development Properties. | ||

AmeriCold also owned one quarry and the related land. |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of our direct and indirect subsidiary entities. The equity interests that we do not own in those direct and indirect subsidiaries are reflected as minority interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Restatement of Financial Data
In connection with the closing of our financial records for the year ended December 31, 2006, our management identified two accounting-related items discussed below that affected our financial statements. In light of these accounting items, on February 28, 2007, Crescent’s Audit Committee of the Board of Trust Managers determined that readers should no longer rely on our previously filed financial statements and other financial information for the fiscal years 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001, and component fiscal quarters, as well as for the first, second and third quarters of fiscal year 2006, and we filed a Form 8-K, Item 4.02, Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements on a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review. We have reflected all required restatements in this Form 10-K as described below.
Refundable Fees for Club Member Services
One of our golf clubs has a limited number of non-equity club members who are entitled to repayment of a portion of their dues up to a fixed amount per member upon surrender of their memberships. We are required to deposit a fixed percentage of all dues collected from these members into a separate cash fund and then use this fund to make payments to members that choose to surrender their membership. Our obligation for payment to the members for surrendered memberships is funded by the amounts deposited into the separate cash fund.
In prior years, the liability associated with these memberships was recognized through a charge to expense equal to the amount funded at the balance sheet date in the separate cash fund. We have determined that the appropriate methodology associated with refundable fees for club member services is outlined in Staff Accounting
83
Table of Contents
CRESCENT REAL ESTATE EQUITIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Bulletin No. 104,Revenue Recognition, under which revenue related to refundable fees for services should not be recognized until the fee is fixed and determinable. For these memberships, member dues should not have been recognized as revenue until the dues paid exceeded the maximum refund amount available to the member. The impact of this adjustment before taxes and minority interests was to reduce revenue ($0.8 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively) by the amount of refundable dues received during each period and reduce expense by the amounts recognized as a liability ($0.4 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively). This results in a liability to members at each balance sheet date equal to the refundable amount (an increase in the liability of $11.0 million at December 31, 2005). Application of the guidance resulted in a $5.3 million decrease in Net Income for the years ended December 31, 1997 through 2005 ($9.3 million before taxes and minority interests). We have recognized this impact as a cumulative adjustment to decrease Partners’ Capital as of December 31, 2003 by $4.6 million ($8.1 million before taxes and minority interests) and restated our Net Income, decreasing the amounts by $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively ($0.4 million and $0.8 million before taxes and minority interests, respectively).
Classification of Club Membership Intangible Asset
At the time of acquisition of one of our golf clubs, a portion of the purchase price was recorded as a membership intangible asset related to the acquired right to sell a predetermined number of equity memberships in the club. As memberships were sold, a pro rata amount of the membership intangible was charged to deferred revenue and amortized. We have determined that the right to sell a predetermined number of equity club memberships does not meet the criteria for the recording of an identifiable intangible asset. Instead the membership intangible asset should have been recorded as goodwill at the time of acquisition and amortized until our adoption of SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and other Intangible Assets, then evaluated annually for impairment. This resulted in an understatement of goodwill ($19.0 million at December 31, 2005), an understatement of deferred revenue ($17.7 million at December 31, 2005) and an overstatement of amortization expense ($3.4 million and $3.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively). The cumulative impact of the restatement results in a $0.2 million decrease in Net Income for the years ended December 31, 1997 through 2005 ($0.4 million before taxes and minority interests). We have recognized this impact as a cumulative adjustment to decrease Partners’ Capital as of December 31, 2003 by $3.9 million ($6.9 million before taxes and minority interests) and restated our Net Income, increasing the amounts by $1.9 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively ($3.4 million and $3.1 million before taxes and minority interests, respectively).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Impact 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.
EITF 04-5.In June 2005, the EITF ratified the consensus in Issue No. 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), which states that the general partner in a limited partnership is presumed to control that limited partnership. This presumption may be overcome if the limited partners have either (1) the substantive ability to dissolve the limited partnership or otherwise remove the general partner without cause or (2) substantive participating rights, which provide the limited partners with the ability to effectively participate in significant decisions that would be expected to be made in the ordinary course of business and thereby preclude the general partner from exercising unilateral control over the partnership. EITF 04-5 is effective June 30, 2005 for new or modified limited partnership arrangements and effective January 1, 2006 for existing limited partnership arrangements. There was no impact to our financial condition or results of operations from the adoption of EITF 04-5.
EITF 06-3.At its June 2006 meeting, the EITF ratified the consensus regarding Issue No. 06-3 (EITF 06-3),How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation). EITF 06-3 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2006, with earlier application permitted. The scope of EITF 06-3 includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer, and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value added, and certain excise taxes. The consensus indicates that gross vs. net income statement classification of those taxes within its scope is an accounting policy decision. In addition, for taxes within its scope, the consensus requires the following disclosures: the accounting policy elected for these taxes and the amounts of the taxes reflected gross (as revenue) in the income statement on an interim and annual basis. There was no impact to our financial condition or results of operations from the adoption of EITF 06-3.
FASB Interpretation 48.In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,or FIN 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes.FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The standard also provides guidance on derecognizing, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and are to be applied to all tax positions upon initial adoption of this standard. Only tax positions that meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized upon adoption of FIN 48. We expect to record less than $1.0 million as a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning Partners’ Capital as of January 1, 2007 from the adoption of

FIN 48. The impact of the adoption of FIN 48 has not been determined by AmeriCold, an equity investment in which we hold a 31.7% interest, as of December 31, 2006.
SFAS No. 157.In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements. The new FASB rule defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, to our financial condition or results of operations from the adoption of SFAS No. 157.
SAB No. 108.In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,Financial Statements – Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, (SAB 108), which is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. SAB No. 108 provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have an impact to our financial condition or results of operations.
EITF 06-8.At its November 2006 meeting, the EITF ratified the consensus regarding Issue No. 06-8 (EITF 06-8),Applicability of the Assessment of a Buyer’s Continuing Investment under FASB Statement No. 66 for Sales of Condominiums. EITF 06-8 is effective for annual periods beginning after March 15, 2007. The scope of EITF 06-8 is limited to the sale of individual units in a condominium project and requires an entity to evaluate the adequacy of the buyer’s initial and continuing investment for purposes of determining whether the sales price is collectible as required to recognize profit using the percentage-of-completion method under paragraph 37 of Statement 66. If the buyer does not meet the initial and continuing investment criteria, the guidance requires use of the deposit method to recognize profit. We do not believe there will be an impact to our financial condition or results of operations from the adoption of EITF 06-8.
Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.We perform evaluations of each of our investments, investment partnerships, real estate partnerships, mezzanine investments and joint ventures to determine if the associated entities constitute a Variable Interest Entity, or VIE, as defined under Interpretations 46 and 46R,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, or FIN 46 and 46R, respectively. Due to the adoption of FIN 46, we consolidated Elijah Fulcrum Fund Partners, L.P., which we refer to as Elijah, as of January 1, 2004. Elijah is a limited partnership whose purpose is to invest in the SunTx Fulcrum Fund, L.P. The consolidation of Elijah resulted in an approximately $0.4 million charge to earnings which is reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. In general, a VIE is an entity that has (i) an insufficient amount of equity for the entity to carry on its principal operations without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, (ii) a group of equity owners that are unable to make decisions about the entity’s activities, or (iii) equity that does not absorb the entity’s losses or receive the benefits of the entity. If any one of these characteristics is present, the entity is subject to FIN 46R’s variable interests consolidation model.
Quantifying the variability of VIEs is complex and subjective, requiring consideration and estimates of a significant number of possible future outcomes as well as the probability of each outcome occurring. The results of each possible outcome are allocated to the parties holding interests in the VIE and based on the allocation, a calculation is performed to determine which party, if any, has a majority of the potential negative outcomes (expected losses) or a majority of the potential positive outcomes (expected residual returns). That party, if any, is the VIE’s primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the VIE. Calculating expected losses and expected residual returns requires modeling potential future results of the entity, assigning probabilities to each potential outcome, and allocating those potential outcomes to the VIE’s interest holders. If our estimates of possible outcomes and probabilities are incorrect, it could result in the inappropriate consolidation or deconsolidation of the VIE.
For entities that do not constitute VIEs, we consider other GAAP, as required, determining (i) consolidation of the entity if our ownership interests comprise a majority of its outstanding voting stock or otherwise control the entity, or (ii) application of the equity method of accounting if we do not have direct or indirect control of the entity, with the initial investment carried at cost and subsequently adjusted for our share of net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions to and from these entities. Further, we evaluate, under

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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,entities for which we have a general partner interest to determine the nature of limited partners’ rights in assessing whether those rights overcome the presumption that we control the limited partnership entity.
Acquisition of operating properties.We allocate the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identified intangible assets acquired based on their fair values in accordance with SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations. We initially record the allocation based on a preliminary purchase price allocation with adjustments recorded during the allocation period, not to exceed within one year from the acquisition.
In making estimates of fair value for purposes of allocating purchase price, management utilizes sources, including, but not limited to, independent value consulting services, independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with financing the respective property, and other market data. Management also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired.
The aggregate value of the tangible assets acquired is measured based on the sum of (i) the value of the property and (ii) the present value of the unamortized in-place tenant improvement allowances. Management’s estimates of the value of the property are made using models similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by management in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs such as real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals during the expected lease-up period assuming current market conditions. The value of the property is then allocated among building, land, site improvements and equipment. The value of tenant improvements is separately estimated due to the different depreciable lives.
The aggregate value of intangible assets acquired is measured based on the difference between (i) the purchase price and (ii) the value of the tangible assets acquired as defined above. This value is then allocated among above-market and below-market lease values, costs to execute similar leases (including leasing commissions, legal expenses and other related expenses), in-place lease values and customer relationship values.
Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties are calculated based on the present value (using a market interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of the below-market fixed rate renewal option, if any, for below-market leases. We perform this analysis on a lease by lease basis. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term plus the term of the below-market fixed rate renewal option, if any, of the respective leases.
Management estimates costs to execute leases similar to those acquired at the property at acquisition based on current market conditions. These costs are recorded based on the present value of the amortized in-place leasing costs on a lease by lease basis over the remaining term of each lease.
The in-place lease values and customer relationship values are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each customer’s lease and our overall relationship with that respective customer. Characteristics considered by management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the customer, growth prospects for developing new business with the customer, the customer’s credit quality and the expectation of lease renewals, among other factors. The in-place lease value and customer relationship value are both amortized to expense over the initial term of the respective leases and projected renewal periods, but in no event does the amortization period for the intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building.
Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the costs to execute similar leases, in-place lease value and the customer relationship value and above-market and below-market in-place lease values would be charged to expense.
Net Investments in Real Estate.Real estate, for operating properties, is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Betterments, major renovations, and certain costs directly related to the acquisition, improvements and leasing of real estate are capitalized. Operating leases for space in our Office Properties

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
generally provide an allowance for the construction of tenant improvements. We capitalize the cost of tenant improvements up to the amount of the allowance granted in the lease. The cost of any improvements paid by the tenant in excess of the tenant improvement allowance is not reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Buildings and Improvements | 2 to 46 years | |
Tenant Improvements | Terms of leases, which approximates the useful life of the asset | |
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment | 2 to 5 years |
Real estate also includes land and capitalized project costs associated with the acquisition and the development of land, construction of resort residential units, amenities and facilities, interest and loan origination costs on land under development, and certain general and administrative expenses to the extent they benefit the development of land. We adhere to the accounting and reporting standards under SFAS No. 67,Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projectsfor costs associated with the acquisition, development, construction and sale of real estate projects. In addition, we capitalize interest costs as a part of the historical cost of acquiring certain assets that qualify for capitalization under SFAS No. 34,Capitalization of Interest Cost. Our assets that qualify for accounting treatment under this pronouncement must require a period of time to prepare for their intended use, such as our land development project assets that are intended for sale or lease and constructed as discrete projects. In accordance with the authoritative guidance, the interest cost capitalized by us is the interest cost recognized on borrowings and other obligations. The amount capitalized is an allocation of the interest cost incurred during the period required to complete the asset. The interest rate for capitalization purposes is based on the rates of our outstanding borrowings.
Assets classified as held and used are evaluated for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When expected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of a Property and we do not expect to recover our carrying costs, an impairment loss is recognized. For Properties classified as held for use, we reduce carrying costs to fair value. For Properties held for disposition, we reduce carrying costs to the fair value less estimated selling costs in accordance with SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Depreciation expense is not recognized on Properties classified as held for disposition.
Concentration of Real Estate Investments.Our Office Properties are located primarily in the Dallas and Houston, Texas, metropolitan areas. As a result of this geographic concentration, our operations could be adversely affected by a recession or general economic downturn in the areas where these Properties are located.
Cash and Cash Equivalents.We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents.Restricted cash includes escrows established pursuant to certain mortgage financing arrangements for real estate taxes, insurance, security deposits, ground lease expenditures, capital expenditures and capital requirements related to cash flow hedges. At December 31, 2005, restricted cash also included funds related to residential property closings at year end when the receipts are held in escrow and required to be used to pay down the project construction loan.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts/Credit Losses .Our accounts receivable balance is reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. Our receivable balance is composed primarily of rents and operating cost recoveries due from tenants, receivables associated with club memberships at our Resort Residential Development properties and guest receivables at our Resort/Hotel properties. We also maintain an allowance for deferred rent receivables which arise from the straight-lining of rents. The allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed at least quarterly for adequacy by reviewing such factors as the credit quality of our tenants or members, any delinquency in payment, historical trends and current economic conditions. If the assumptions regarding the collectibility of accounts receivable prove incorrect, we could experience write-offs in excess of its allowance for doubtful accounts, which would result in a decrease in net income.
Mezzanine notes receivable are reviewed for potential impairment at each balance sheet date. A mezzanine note receivable is considered impaired when it becomes probable, based on current information, that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the mezzanine note’s contractual terms. The amount of impairment,
96
Table of Contents
CRESCENT REAL ESTATE EQUITIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
if any, is measured by comparing the recorded amount of the mezzanine note to the present value of the expected cash flows or the fair value of the collateral. If a mezzanine note was deemed to be impaired, we would record a reserve for loan losses through a charge to income for any shortfall. To date, no such impairment charges have been recognized.
Investments in Unconsolidated Companies.Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and companies are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. If events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an investment accounted for using the equity method has declined below its carrying value and we consider the decline to be “other than temporary,” the investment is written down to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. The evaluation of impairment for an investment would be based on a number of factors, including financial condition and operating results for the investment, inability to remain in compliance with provisions of any related debt agreements, and recognition of impairments by other investors. Impairment recognition would negatively impact the recorded value of our investment and reduce net income.
Certain of our unconsolidated entities, SunTx Fulcrum Fund, L.P., or SunTx, and G2 Opportunity Fund, L.P., or G2, are subject to specialized industry accounting principles under the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide: Investment Companies. Under those guidelines, SunTx and G2 record underlying investments, including investments in portfolio companies which are not publicly traded securities, at estimated fair value. Accordingly, various factors are considered in valuing such securities, including: their costs, current and projected operating performance, prices of recent significant placements of securities of the same issuer to unaffiliated third parties, if any, recent market transactions for similar companies, and other such factors. Because of the inherent uncertainty of such valuations, the fair value adjustments to non-public investments are estimates, and accordingly, such estimated values may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. SunTx and G2 update such estimates of fair value on an annual basis; as such, we record any unrealized gains or losses during the year in the fourth quarter as equity in earnings results associated with these investments.
See Note 10, “Investments in Unconsolidated Companies” for a table that lists our ownership in significant unconsolidated joint ventures and investments as of December 31, 2006.
Other Assets.Other assets consist principally of leasing costs, deferred financing costs, intangible assets, goodwill and marketable securities. Leasing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis during the terms of the respective leases, and unamortized leasing costs are written off upon early termination of lease agreements. Deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis (when it approximates the effective interest method) over the shorter of the expected lives or the terms of the respective loans. The effective interest method is used to amortize deferred financing costs on loans where the straight-line basis does not approximate the effective interest method, over the terms of the respective loans.
Goodwill and intangible assets are reviewed annually for impairment. Upon the conveyance of a water pipeline to the local government, we reclassified the fair value of the water pipeline from land improvements into an intangible asset, or water rights. The water rights in use are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years.
Marketable securities are considered either available-for-sale, trading or held-to-maturity, in accordance with SFAS No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Realized gains or losses on the sale of securities are recorded based on specific identification. Available-for-sale securities are marked to market value on a monthly basis with the corresponding unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Trading securities are marked to market on a monthly basis with the unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. Held-to-maturity securities consists of U.S. Treasury and government sponsored agency securities purchased to in-substance defease debt, and are included in the “Defeasance investments” line. When a decline in the fair value of marketable securities is determined to be other than temporary, the cost basis is written down to fair value and the amount of the write-down is included in earnings for the applicable period. Investments in equity securities with no readily determinable market value are reported at cost, as they are not considered marketable under SFAS No. 115.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments.The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, deferred rent receivable, notes receivable, other assets, accounts payable and other liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values. Fair values of our notes

receivable, primarily mezzanine notes, are influenced by changes in, and market expectations for changes in, interest rates and levels of repayments as well as other factors beyond the control of management. Because most of our investments that have variable interest rates adjust to more current rates monthly, declines in fair value caused by increases in interest rates can be largely recovered in a relatively short period of time. The fair value of mezzanine notes with fixed interest rates are based on current interest rates for similar investments with similar payment terms and maturities at the time of investment. The fair value of our defeasance investments was approximately $110.3 million as of December 31, 2006. The fair value of our notes payable and junior subordinated notes is most sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. Since our $767.2 million in variable rate debt changes with these changes in interest rates, it also approximates the fair market value of the underlying debt. We reduce the variability in future cash flows by maintaining a sizable portion of debt with fixed payment characteristics. Although the cash flow to or from us does not change, the fair value of the $1.5 billion in fixed rate debt, based upon current interest rates for similar debt instruments with similar payment terms and expected payoff dates, would be approximately $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2006. The defeasance investments and defeased debt cannot legally be separated and, therefore, have a net fair value of $0.4 million. For defeasance investments, fair values are based on quoted market prices. For defeased debt, fair values are based on rates currently available from banks and other lenders for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2006.
Derivative Financial Instruments.SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and interpreted, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. Our objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements or other identified risks. Derivative financial instruments are used to convert a portion of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt and to manage our fixed to variable rate debt ratio.
To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our cash flow hedging strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges are entered into to achieve a fixed interest rate on variable rate debt.
We measure our derivative instruments and hedging activities at fair value and record them as an asset or liability, depending on our rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged items are recorded in earnings. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of changes in fair value of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedges and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period. We assess the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction.
As of December 31, 2006, there are no derivatives designated as fair value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations nor are derivatives being used for trading or speculative purposes.
At December 31, 2006, derivatives with a fair value of $0.1 million were included in “Other assets, net.” The change in net unrealized gains decreased $1.8 million in 2006 for derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is separately disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Partners’ Capital.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable rate debt. The change in net unrealized gains/losses on cash flow hedges reflects the recognition of $1.9 million of net unrealized losses from other comprehensive income to interest expense during 2006. We estimate that during 2007 an additional $0.1 million of unrealized gains will be recognized as a reduction to interest expense.
Gain recognition on sale of real estate assets.In accordance with SFAS No. 66,Accounting for Sales of Real Estate,we perform evaluations of each real estate sale to determine if full gain recognition is appropriate and of each sale or contribution of a property to a joint venture to determine if partial gain recognition is appropriate. The application of SFAS No. 66 can be complex and requires us to make assumptions including an assessment of

whether the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, the extent of the purchaser’s investment in the property being sold, whether our receivables, if any, related to the sale are collectible and are subject to subordination, and the degree of our continuing involvement with the real estate asset after the sale. If full gain recognition is not appropriate, we account for the sale under an appropriate deferral method.
Revenue Recognition — Office Properties.As a lessor, we have retained substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the Office Properties and account for our leases as operating leases. Income on leases, which includes scheduled increases in rental rates during the lease term and/or abated rent payments for various periods following the tenant’s lease commencement date, is recognized on a straight-line basis. Deferred rent receivable represents the excess of rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis over cash received pursuant to the applicable lease provisions. Office Property leases generally provide for the reimbursement of annual increases in operating expenses above base year operating expenses (excess operating expenses), payable to us in equal installments throughout the year based on estimated increases. Any differences between the estimated increase and actual amounts incurred are adjusted at year end.
Revenue Recognition – Resort Residential Development Properties.We use the accrual method to recognize revenue from the sale of Resort Residential Development Properties after closing has taken place, title has been transferred, sufficient cash has been received to demonstrate the buyer’s commitment to pay for the property and collection of the balance of the sales price, if any, is reasonably assured. If a sale does not qualify for the accrual method of recognition, deferral methods are used as appropriate. In certain cases, when we receive an inadequate cash down payment and take a promissory note for the balance of the sales price, revenue recognition is deferred until such time as sufficient cash has been received to meet minimum down payment requirements. The cost of resort residential property sold is defined based on the type of product being purchased. The cost of sales for resort residential lots is generally determined as a specific percentage of the sales revenue recognized for each Resort Residential Development project. The percentages are based on total estimated development costs and sales revenue for each Resort Residential Development project. These estimates are based on the then-current development strategy and operating assumptions utilizing internally developed projections for product type, revenue and related development costs. The cost of sales for resort residential units (such as townhomes and condominiums) is determined using the relative sales value method. If the resort residential unit has been sold prior to the completion of infrastructure cost, and those uncompleted costs are not significant in relation to total costs, the full accrual method is utilized. Under this method, 100% of the revenue is recognized, and a commitment liability is established to reflect the allocated estimated future costs to complete the resort residential unit. If our estimates of costs or the percentage of completion is incorrect, it could result in either an increase or decrease in cost of sales expense or revenue recognized and therefore, an increase or decrease in net income.
At our golf clubs, members are expected to pay an advance initiation fee or refundable deposit upon their acceptance as a member to the club. These initiation fees and deposits vary in amount based on a variety of factors such as the supply and demand for our services in each particular market, number of golf courses and breadth of amenities available to the members, and the prestige of having the right to membership of the club. A significant portion of our initiation fees are deferred equity memberships which are recorded as deferred revenue when sold and recognized as membership fee revenue on a straight-line basis over the number of months remaining until the turnover date of the club to the members. Refundable deposits relate to the non-equity membership portion of each membership sold which will be refunded upon resignation by the member and upon reissuance of the membership, or at the termination of the membership as provided by the membership agreement. Refundable deposits are not recorded as revenue but rather as a liability due to the refundable nature of the deposit. For certain refundable deposits, the difference between the amount paid by the member and the present value of the refund obligation is deferred and recognized as revenue over the average expected life of the membership and the present value of the refund obligation accretes to the refund amount over the nonrefundable term. A limited number of non-equity members may be entitled to repayment of a portion of their dues up to a fixed amount per member upon surrender of their memberships. Revenue associated with these refundable dues is deferred until we are relieved from this repayment obligation. The deferred revenue and refundable deposits, net of related deferred expenses, are presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets in Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities.

Revenue Recognition — Resort/Hotel Properties.We recognize revenue for room sales and guest nights and revenue from guest services whenever rooms were occupied and services had been rendered. Lease revenue is recognized for the Omni Austin Hotel. Also, we record taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis in that they are excluded from revenues.
Revenue Recognition – Mezzanine Notes.We recognize interest income on mezzanine notes over the term of the note using the effective interest method and on an accrual basis. Fees received in connection with loan commitments and loan origination costs are deferred until the loan is funded and are then recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield.
Income Taxes.We are the Operating Partnership of Crescent, which has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and operate in a manner intended to enable it to continue to qualify as a REIT. As a REIT, Crescent generally will not be subject to corporate federal income tax on net income that it currently distributes to its shareholders, provided that it satisfies certain organizational and operational requirements including the requirement to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders each year. Accordingly, Crescent does not believe it will be liable for federal income taxes on its REIT taxable income or state income taxes in most of the states in which it operates.
We have elected to treat certain of our corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries, each of which we refer to as a TRS. In general, a TRS may perform additional services for tenants and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the provision to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, of rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated). A TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax, state and local taxes.
Income or losses of the Operating Partnership are allocated to our partners for inclusion in their respective income tax calculations. Accordingly, no provision or benefit for income taxes has been made other than for certain consolidated subsidiaries.
Use of Estimates.The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Earnings Per Share (Unit).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 partners by the weighted average number of units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue units were exercised or converted into units, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS amount. We present both basic and diluted earnings per unit.
The following table presents a reconciliation for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 of basic and diluted earnings per unit from “Income before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle” to “Net income available to partners.” The table also includes weighted average units on a basic and diluted basis.

3. SEGMENT REPORTING
For purposes of segment reporting as defined in SFAS No. 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, 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 partners – diluted in this manner, except that Net Income (Loss) is replaced by Net Income (Loss) Available to partners.
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 partners – diluted and FFO appropriate measures of performance for an operating partnership of an equity REIT and for its investment segments. However, FFO available to partners – 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 partners – diluted and FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other operating partnerships of REITs because these operating partnerships may apply the definition of FFO in a different manner than we apply it. Selected financial information related to each segment for the three years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, and total assets, consolidated property level financing, consolidated other liabilities and minority interests for each of the segments at December 31, 2006 and 2005, are presented in the following tables:

In addition, we sold Canyon Ranch Lenox to a subsidiary of CR Operating, LLC. The founders of Canyon Ranch sold their interest in CR License, L.L.C. to a subsidiary of CR Operating, LLC. As a result of these transactions, the new entities own the following assets: Canyon Ranch Tucson, Canyon Ranch Lenox, Canyon Ranch SpaClub at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, Canyon Ranch SpaClub on the Queen Mary 2 ocean liner, Canyon Ranch Living Community in Miami, Florida, Canyon Ranch SpaClub at The Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee, Florida, and the Canyon Ranch trade names and trademarks.
In addition, the newly formed entities completed a private placement of Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Preferred Membership Units for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $110.0 million. In this private placement, Richard E. Rainwater, Chairman of Crescent’s Board of Trust Managers, and certain of his family members purchased approximately $27.1 million of these units on terms identical to those extended to all other investors. The units are convertible into a 25% common equity interest in CR Spa, LLC and CR Operating, LLC and pay distributions at the rate of 8.5% per year in years one through seven, and 11% in years eight through ten. At the end of ten years, or upon earlier redemption, the holders of the units are entitled to receive a premium in an amount sufficient to result in a cumulative return of 11% per year. The units are redeemable after seven years at the option of the issuer. Also on January 18, 2005, the new entities completed a $95.0 million financing with Bank of America. The loan has an interest-only term until maturity in February 2015, bears interest at 5.94% and is secured by the Canyon Ranch Tucson and Canyon Ranch Lenox Resort/Hotel Properties. As a result of these transactions, we received proceeds of approximately $91.9 million, which was used to pay down or defease debt related to our previous investment in the Properties and to pay down our credit facility. No gain or loss was recorded in connection with the above transactions. Following these transactions, we account for our interests in CR Spa, LLC and CR Operating, LLC under the equity method.

Redtail Capital Partners, L.P.
On May 10, 2005, we entered into an agreement with Capstead Mortgage Corporation pursuant to which we formed a joint venture, Redtail Capital Partners, L.P., to invest up to $100.0 million in select mezzanine loans on commercial real estate over a two-year period. The Redtail Capital Partners joint venture agreement also provides that we and Capstead may form a second joint venture to invest up to an additional $100.0 million in equity. Capstead is committed to 75% of the capital of the second joint venture, or up to $75.0 million, and we are committed to 25%, or up to $25.0 million. We will be responsible for identifying investment opportunities and managing the portfolios and will earn a management fee and incentives based on portfolio performance. A wholly-owned subsidiary of this joint venture has a $225.0 million warehouse borrowing facility in the form of a repurchase agreement. Borrowings under the warehouse facility are secured by the subsidiary’s financed participation interests and mezzanine loans, and guaranteed by the joint venture. Total investments of the joint venture in mezzanine loans, assuming leverage, could be as much as $325.0 million. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we have made capital contributions of $7.4 million. We account for our interest in Redtail Capital Partners, L.P. under the equity method.
2004 Transactions
Office
The Crescent, Houston Center and Post Oak Central
On November 10, 2004, we contributed nine of our Office Properties to a limited partnership in which we initially had a 40% interest and a fund advised by JPM has a 60% interest. The Office Properties contributed to the partnership are The Crescent (two Office Properties) in Dallas, Texas and Houston Center (four Office Properties) and Post Oak Central (three Office Properties), both in Houston, Texas. The Office Properties were valued at $897.0 million. This transaction generated net proceeds of approximately $290.0 million after the pay off of the JP Morgan Mortgage Note, pay down of a portion of the Fleet Fund I Term Loan and defeasance of a portion of LaSalle Note I. The joint venture was accounted for as a partial sale of the Office Properties, resulting in a net gain of approximately $194.1 million. On December 23, 2004, an affiliate of General Electric Pension Fund, which we refer to as GE Pension Fund, purchased a 16.15% interest in the partnership from us, reducing our ownership interest to 23.85%. This transaction generated net proceeds of approximately $49.0 million and a net gain of $56.7 million. The net proceeds from both transactions were used to pay off the remaining portion of the Fleet Fund I Term Loan and pay down our credit facility. We incurred debt pre-payment penalties of approximately $35.0 million relating to the early extinguishment of the JP Morgan Mortgage Note and the partial defeasance of LaSalle Note I, which is reflected in the “Extinguishment of debt” line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2005, we recorded an adjustment in the “(Loss) gain on joint venture of properties” line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the write-off of capitalized internal leasing costs related to this joint venture.
Fountain Place and Trammell Crow Center
On November 23, 2004, we contributed two of our Office Properties to a limited partnership in which we have a 23.85% interest and a fund advised by JPM has a 76.15% interest. The two Office Properties contributed to the partnership are Fountain Place and Trammell Crow Center, both in Dallas, Texas. The Office Properties were valued at $320.5 million. This transaction generated net proceeds of approximately $71.5 million after the pay off of the Lehman Capital Note. The joint venture was accounted for as a partial sale of the Office Properties, resulting in a net gain of approximately $14.9 million. The net proceeds from this transaction were used to pay down a portion of our credit facility. For the year ended December 31, 2005, we recorded an adjustment in the “(Loss) gain on joint venture of properties” line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the write-off of capitalized internal leasing costs related to this joint venture.
As a result of GE Pension Fund’s purchase of an interest in the first partnership, GE Pension Fund serves along with us as general partner, and we serve as the sole and managing general partner of the second partnership. Each of the Office Properties contributed to the partnerships is owned by a separate limited partnership. Each of those property partnerships (excluding Trammell Crow Center) has entered into a separate leasing and management agreement with us, and, in the case of Trammell Crow Center, the property partnership also has entered into a management oversight agreement and a mortgage servicing agreement with us. We have no commitment to reinvest

Under the agreement, El Paso is required to pay us $65.0 million in termination fees in periodic installments through December 31, 2007, and $62.0 million in rent according to the original lease terms from July 1, 2005 through December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2006, we have collected $35.0 million of the lease termination fee.

9. TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED LOGISTICS
As of December 31, 2006, the Temperature-Controlled Logistics Segment consisted of our 31.7% interest in AmeriCold. AmeriCold operates 104 facilities, of which 91 were wholly-owned or leased, one was partially-owned and twelve were managed for outside owners. We account for our interest in AmeriCold as an unconsolidated equity investment.
On November 18, 2004, Vornado Crescent Portland Partnership, or VCPP, the partnership through which we owned our 40% interest in AmeriCold, sold a 20.7% interest in AmeriCold to The Yucaipa Companies for $145.0 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $12.3 million, net of transaction costs, to us. Yucaipa may earn a promote of up to 20% of the increase in value of AmeriCold through December 31, 2007. Our portion of the promote is payable out of the proceeds from a future sale of our interest in AmeriCold subject to certain limitations.
Immediately following this transaction, VCPP dissolved and, after the payment of all of its liabilities, distributed its remaining assets to its partners. The assets distributed to us consisted of common shares, cash and a note receivable. In connection with the dissolution of the partnership, Vornado Realty L.P. or Vornado, agreed to terminate the preferential allocation payable to it under the partnership agreement. In consideration of this, we agreed to pay Vornado an annual management fee of $4.5 million, payable only out of dividends we receive from AmeriCold and proceeds from sales of the common shares of AmeriCold that we own. Unpaid annual management fees will accrue without interest. The amount of the annual management fee will be reduced in proportion to any sales by us of our interest in AmeriCold. We also agreed to pay Vornado, from the proceeds of any sales of the common shares of AmeriCold that we own, a termination fee equal to the product of $23.8 million and the percentage reduction in our ownership of AmeriCold, as of November 18, 2004, represented by the sale. Our obligation to pay the annual management fee and the termination fee will end on October 30, 2027, or, if earlier, the date on which we sell all of the common shares of AmeriCold that we own.
In August 2006, AmeriCold entered into a definitive agreement to acquire from ConAgra Foods, Inc. or ConAgra, four refrigerated warehouse facilities and the lease on a fifth facility, with an option to purchase. The aggregate purchase price is approximately $190.0 million, consisting of $152.0 million in cash to ConAgra and $38.0 million representing the recording of a capital lease obligation for the fifth facility. During the fourth quarter of 2006, AmeriCold completed the acquisition of two of these facilities and assumed the leasehold on the fifth facility and the related capital lease obligation. In January 2007, AmeriCold completed the acquisition of the third facility. The acquisition of the remaining facility is expected to be completed during the first half of 2007.
In December 2006, AmeriCold completed a 5.45% fixed-rate, interest-only financing in an aggregate principal amount of $1.05 billion which matures in approximately equal tranches in seven, nine and ten years. The proceeds were used to repay $449.0 million of fixed-rate mortgages with a rate of 6.89% and a $430.0 million variable rate mortgage. The mortgages that were repaid were collateralized by 84 temperature-controlled warehouses which were released upon repayment. Fifty of the warehouses are used to collateralize the new loan. A portion of the remaining proceeds were distributed to the owners, of which our portion was approximately $58.7 million.

Fresh Choice
On November 16, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Fresh Choice, LLC, or Fresh Choice, jointly proposed by us, Cedarlane Natural Foods, Inc., or Cedarlane, and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors appointed in the bankruptcy filing. The Plan became effective on December 21, 2005. Pursuant to the Plan, we and Cedarlane acquired 100% of the new equity interest in Fresh Choice. Our portion of the new capital investment was 40% of $3.0 million, or $1.2 million. In addition, we and Cedarlane entered into a loan agreement for up to $3.0 million, of which $2.9 million has been funded as of December 31, 2006. The loan matures in January 2010. Also, as part of the Plan, Fresh Choice obtained new financing with GE Capital Franchise Financing Corporation of $5.0 million, of which 50% is guaranteed by us and Cedarlane in proportion to respective ownership interests. The unsecured creditors agreed to accept payment in the form of a two year non-interest bearing note of $2.5 million. Following these transactions, we account for our interests in Fresh Choice under the equity method.
On January 5, 2007, we entered into a recapitalization agreement whereby we sold a portion of our interests in Fresh Choice. The agreement calls for a two-part close transaction due to restrictions in place related to the debt of Fresh Choice. Upon the first closing in January 2007, the buyer acquired an interest in the entities that own Fresh Choice for cash of $3.0 million, of which we received approximately $1.6 million. The second closing is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2007.

(1) | The remaining outstanding balance of this note at maturity will be approximately $223.4 million. | |
(2) | Obtaining this loan was a reconsideration event under FIN 46R. 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. | |
(3) | The outstanding principal balance of this loan at maturity will be approximately $33.7 million. | |
(4) | We assumed these loans in connection with the Hughes Center properties 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 December 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 | ||||||||||

Metropolitan Life Note VI | 1,098 | 5.68 | % | 19,239 | ||||||||
Total | $ | 2,212 | $ | 48,673 | ||||||||
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. | ||
(5) | 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 debt service payment of the loans. | |
(6) | 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 partners and investments. | |
(7) | At our option, these notes can be called beginning in April 2007 for 102.3% and in April 2008 and thereafter for par. | |
(8) | 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 note has three one-year extension options. | |
(9) | This loan has one one-year extension option. The loans supporting this facility are subject to daily valuations by Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, respectively, and we are subject to a margin call if the overall leverage of the facility exceeds certain thresholds. | |
(10) | The maximum facility amount is $30.0 million. | |
(11) | The maximum facility amount is $169.0 million. This loan has three one-year extension options. | |
(12) | The maximum facility amount is $84.9 million. | |
(13) | The maximum facility amount is $52.3 million. This loan has two one-year extension options. The rate on this loan decreases to LIBOR plus 170 basis points when the following are met: 85% leased and 75% occupied. | |
(14) | The maximum facility amount is $41.8 million. | |
(15) | The maximum facility amount is $36.0 million. | |
(16) | The maximum facility amount is $33.4 million. This loan has one six-month extension option. | |
(17) | The maximum facility amount is $27.5 million. This loan has one one-year extension option. The partners have committed to contribute up to an additional $17.1 million in capital should certain financial covenants not be maintained. | |
(18) | The maximum facility amount is $21.0 million. | |
(19) | 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 December 31, 2006, the maximum borrowing capacity under the credit facility was $366.8 million. The outstanding balance excludes letters of credit issued under our credit facility of $9.5 million which reduces our maximum borrowing capacity. The spread to LIBOR on this loan decreases to 150 basis points if we reduce leverage below 45% and it increases to 175 basis points if we exceed 55% leverage. | |
(20) | 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. | |
(21) | 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 7.27%. |

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, KeyBank I Loan, Morgan Stanley II Loan, Goldman Sachs Loan, Societe Generale I Construction Loan and KeyBank II Loan after the notice and cure periods for the other indebtedness have passed. As of December 31, 2006, no event of default had occurred. 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 year ended December 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 One Properties (CREF One Parent, L.P., CREF One Parent GP, LLC, CREF One Holdings, L.P., CRE Management One, LLC); Funding III Properties (CRE Management III Corp.); Funding IV Properties (CRE Management IV Corp.); Funding V Properties (CRE Management V Corp.); Funding VIII Properties (CRE Management VIII, LLC); Funding XII Properties (CREF XII Parent GP, LLC, CREF XII Parent, L.P., CREF XII Holding GP, LLC, CREF XII 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 Finance Company, Crescent Real Estate Capital MS, L.P. and Crescent Real Estate Capital GS, L.P.

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 $100.0 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 December 31, 2006, approximately $22.3 million with a weighted average interest rate of 7.37% was outstanding under this agreement.
On May 5, 2006, we entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement with Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company. Pursuant to the agreement, up to 80% of the value of the loans that we make can be financed up to a maximum principal amount of $100.0 million. The investments can be financed through May 2009, at which time full payment is due. The financing and payment can be extended one year subject to Goldman Sachs’ approval. If extended, payments will be made in twelve monthly installments during the extension period. 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 110 basis points to 250 basis points and is

secured by the note receivable associated with each advance. At December 31, 2006, approximately $10.0 million with an interest rate of 6.72% was outstanding under this agreement.
13. INTEREST RATE SWAPS AND CAPS
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 December 31, 2006, we had interest rate swaps and interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges, which are accounted for in conformity with SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 138,Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133and SFAS No. 149,Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
The following table shows information regarding the fair value of our interest rate swaps and caps designated as cash flow hedge agreements, which are included in the “Other assets, net” and “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities” line items in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and additional interest expense and unrealized gains (losses) recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, or OCI, for the year ended December 31, 2006.

(1) | A portion of the interest on the debt that this swap is hedging is capitalized. |
In addition, three of our unconsolidated companies have interest rate caps and swaps designated as cash flow hedges of which our portion of change in unrealized losses reflected in OCI was $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.
We have designated our cash flow hedge agreements as cash flow hedges of LIBOR-based monthly interest payments on a designated pool of variable rate LIBOR indexed debt. The interest rate swaps have been and are expected to remain highly effective. Changes in the fair value of these highly effective hedging instruments are recorded in OCI. The effective portion that has been deferred in OCI will be recognized in earnings as interest expense when the hedged items impact earnings. If an interest rate swap falls outside 80%-125% effectiveness for a quarter, all changes in the fair value of the hedge for the quarter will be recognized in earnings during the current period. If it is determined based on prospective testing that it is no longer likely a hedge will be highly effective on a prospective basis, the hedge will no longer be designated as a cash flow hedge in conformity with SFAS No. 133, as amended. An immaterial amount of hedge ineffectiveness on the designated hedges, due to index and reset date mismatches between the hedges and hedged debt, was recognized in other income and expense during 2006.
Over the next 12 months, an estimated $0.1 million of Accumulated OCI will be recognized as a reduction to interest expense related to the effective portions of the cash flow hedge agreements.

Undesignated Caps
In connection with the GACC Note, we entered into LIBOR interest rate caps struck at 6.00% on a notional amount corresponding to each loan, for a total of $165.0 million through June 2008. Simultaneously, we sold a LIBOR interest rate cap with the same terms. Since these instruments do not reduce our net interest rate exposure, they were not designated as hedges and changes to their respective fair values are charged to earnings as the charges occur. As the significant terms of these arrangements are the same, the effects of a revaluation of these instruments are expected to offset each other.
14. RENTALS UNDER OPERATING LEASES
As of December 31, 2006, we received rental income from the lessees of 55 consolidated Office Properties and one Resort/Hotel Property under operating leases.
We lease one Resort/Hotel Property for which we recognize rental income under an operating lease that provides for percentage rent. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the percentage rent amounts for the one Resort/Hotel Property were $6.6 million, $5.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively.
In general, Office Property leases provide for the payment of fixed base rents and the reimbursement by the tenant to us of annual increases in operating expenses in excess of base year operating expenses. The excess operating expense amounts totaled $48.4 million, $46.9 million and $66.0 million, for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These excess operating expenses are generally payable in equal installments throughout the year, based on estimated increases, with any differences adjusted at year end based upon actual expenses.
For non-cancelable operating leases for consolidated Office Properties as of December 31, 2006, future minimum rentals (base rents) during the next five years and thereafter (excluding tenant reimbursements of operating expenses for Office Properties) are as follows:

15. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION
Lease Commitments
We had 16 wholly-owned Office Properties at December 31, 2006, located on land that is subject to long-term ground leases, which expire between 2015 and 2080. Lease expense associated with ground leases during each of the three years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $2.8 million, $2.7 million and $4.2 million, respectively, recognized on a straight-line basis. Future minimum lease payments due under such leases as of December 31, 2006, are as follows:

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 and U.S. Bank National Association guarantees 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 December 31, 2006, are listed in the table below.

(2) | We provide a $7.8 million letter of credit to support the payment of interest and principal of the Eagle Ranch Metropolitan District Revenue Development Bonds. | |
(3) | We provide a guarantee of up to $1.0 million to GE Capital Franchise Financing Corporation as part of Fresh Choice’s bankruptcy reorganization. |
Other Commitments
In July 2005, we purchased comprehensive insurance that covers us, contractors 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.

In connection with the Canyon Ranch transaction, we have agreed to indemnify the founders regarding the tax treatment of the transaction, not to exceed $2.5 million, and certain other matters. We believe there is a remote likelihood that payment will ever be required related to these indemnities.
See Note 9, “Temperature-Controlled Logistics,” for a description of our commitments related to our ownership of common shares in AmeriCold and the termination of our partnership with Vornado.
Contingencies
Environmental Matters
All of the Properties have been subjected to Phase I environmental assessments, and some Properties have been subjected to Phase II soil and ground water sampling as part of the Phase I assessments. Such assessments have not revealed, nor is management aware of, any environmental liabilities that management believes would have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
We own several Office Properties that contain asbestos. For certain of these Office Properties, we estimated the fair value of the conditional asset retirement obligation in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 47,Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, or FIN 47, and determined a conditional asset retirement obligation was not required. With respect to certain other Office Properties, we have not recorded any related asset retirement obligation, as the fair value of the liability cannot be reasonably estimated, due to uncertainties in the timing and manner of settlement of these obligations.
Litigation
We are involved from time to time in various claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that the impact of such matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations when resolved.
16. 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 year ended December 31, 2006, was approximately $1.7 million, of which $1.4 million relates to additional expense recognized as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, compensation expense recognized for stock and unit options was approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $1.83, $1.12 and $1.05, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, was $3.3 million, $2.4 million and $0.2 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 December 31, 2006, there was approximately $0.8 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 1.2 years.
With respect to our stock and unit 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 unit would have been:

Crescent has two stock incentive plans, the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan and the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan. 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, and the 1996 Unit Plan expired on July 16, 2006. 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 under shareholder approved plans.
On February 19, 2002, John Goff, Vice-Chairman of Crescent’s Board of Trust Managers and Chief Executive Officer and our sole director and Chief Executive Officer, was granted the right to earn 300,000 restricted shares under the 1995 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 years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, approximately $1.1 million, $1.1 million and $1.9 million was recorded as compensation expense, respectively related to this grant. The grant-date fair value of the restricted shares which vested in each of the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $17.51 per restricted share for a total of $1.8 million.

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 and subject to a six-month hold period following vesting, 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, 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 2004 and 2005 Unit 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 years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, was $7.31, $6.19 and $7.05, respectively, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the related service period, except for when performance targets are achieved. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, approximately $10.6 million, $12.3 million and $0.4 million was recorded as compensation costs related to the 2004 and 2005 Unit Plans, respectively, of which approximately $1.0 million and $1.2 million was capitalized in 2006 and 2005, respectively.

As of December 31, 2006, 98,875 units (197,750 common share equivalents) have been redeemed for cash. The total grant-date fair value of units vested during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $7.6 million and $10.1 million, respectively.
17. MINORITY INTERESTS
Minority interests in real estate partnerships represent joint venture or preferred equity partners’ proportionate share of the equity in certain real estate partnerships.

18. PARTNERS’ CAPITAL
Share Repurchase Program
Crescent commenced its Share Repurchase Program in March 2000. On October 15, 2001, Crescent’s Board of Trust Managers increased from $500.0 million to $800.0 million the amount of outstanding common shares that can be repurchased from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. There were no share repurchases under the program for the years ended December 31, 2006 or 2005. As of December 31, 2006, Crescent had repurchased 20,256,423 common shares under the Share Repurchase Program, at an aggregate cost of approximately $386.9 million, resulting in an average repurchase price of $19.10 per common share. All repurchased shares were recorded as treasury shares. The repurchase of common shares by Crescent will decrease Crescent’s limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership, which will result in an increase in net income per unit.
Distributions
The distributions to unitholders paid during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, were $184.1 million, $178.9 million, and $175.6 million, respectively. These distributions represented an annualized distribution of $1.50 per unit for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004. On February 15, 2007, we distributed $45.8 million to unitholders.
Distributions to Series A Preferred unitholders for each of the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, was $24.0 million. The distributions per Series A Preferred Unit were $1.6875 per preferred unit annualized for each of the three years. On February 15, 2007, we distributed $6.0 million to Series A Preferred unitholders. The Series A Preferred Units are convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the holders into Crescent common shares at a conversion price of $40.86 per common share (equivalent to a conversion rate of 0.6119 common shares per Series A Preferred Unit). The Series A Preferred Units, on or after February 28, 2003, may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at our option. We pay distributions on the Series A Preferred Units in an amount totaling $1.6875 per unit each year (equivalent to 6.75% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per unit), payable on a quarterly basis.
Distributions to Series B Preferred unitholders for each of the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, were $8.1 million. The distributions per Series B Preferred unit were $2.3750 per preferred unit annualized for each of the three years. On February 16, 2007, we distributed $2.0 million to Series B Preferred unitholders. The Series B Preferred Units are redeemable on or after May 17, 2007, in whole or in part, at our option. We pay distributions on the Series B Preferred Units in an amount totaling $2.375 per unit each year (equivalent to 9.50% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per unit), payable on a quarterly basis.
19. INCOME TAXES
Taxable Consolidated Entities
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 year ended December 31, 2006, the taxable consolidated entities were comprised of our taxable REIT subsidiaries.
Significant components of our deferred tax liabilities and assets at December 31, 2006 and 2005 from continuing operations are as follows:

In addition to the net deferred tax assets of approximately $3.3 million and $2.4 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, we had a current tax payable of $0.6 million on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2005, we had a current income tax receivable of approximately $8.3 million.
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. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management determined that an $8.8 million and a $9.7 million valuation allowance at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively were necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. When assessing the adequacy of the valuation allowance, management considered both anticipated reversals of deferred tax liabilities and other potential sources of taxable income in future years. We have available state and federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7.5 million at December 31, 2006, arising from operations of the taxable REIT subsidiaries. The net operating loss carryforwards will expire between 2007 and 2026.

For the year ended December 31, 2006, our income tax benefit from continuing operations was $3.5 million. Our $3.5 million income tax benefit consists primarily of $7.4 million for the Resort Residential Development Segment and $3.9 million for the Resort/Hotel Segment; partially offset by income tax expense of $(4.1) million for the other taxable REIT subsidiaries and $(3.7) million for the Office Segment. Additionally, tax benefit (expense) amounts of $(10.6) million, $0 million and $0.3 million are included in the gain on sale of real estate from discontinued operations and (loss) income from discontinued operations, net of taxes for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
20. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Loans to Employees and Trust Managers of Crescent for Exercise of Stock Options and Unit Options
As of December 31, 2006, we had approximately $37.9 million in loan balances outstanding reflected in the “Partners’ Capital” line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, inclusive of current interest accrued of approximately $0.2 million, to certain of our employees and Crescent’s trust managers on a recourse basis under stock and unit incentive plans pursuant to an agreement approved by Crescent’s 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 and units of the Operating Partnership pursuant to the exercise of vested stock and unit options. The loans bear interest at 2.52% per year (based on the Applicable Federal Rate at the time the interest rates on the notes were fixed), payable quarterly, mature on July 28, 2012, and may be repaid in full or in part at any time without premium or penalty. John C. Goff, Vice-Chairman of Crescent’s Board of Trust Managers and Chief Executive Officer and our sole director and Chief Executive Officer, had a loan representing $26.4 million of the $37.9 million total outstanding loans at December 31, 2006. No conditions exist at December 31, 2006 which would cause any of the loans to be in default.

We have a policy which allows employees to purchase our residential properties marketed and sold by our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business. This policy requires the individual to purchase the property for personal use or investment and requires the property to be held for at least two years. In addition this policy requires, among other things, that the prices paid by affiliates must be equivalent to the prices paid by unaffiliated third parties for similar properties in the same development and that the other terms and conditions of the transaction must be at least as beneficial to us as the terms and conditions with respect to the other properties in the same development. In 2005, two executive officers entered into binding contracts to purchase three condominium units and one lot at three of our resort residential development projects. The contracts for one of the condominiums and the lot closed in 2005.

22. COPI
On February 14, 2002, we entered into an agreement with Crescent Operating, Inc., or COPI, pursuant to which we and COPI agreed to jointly seek approval by the bankruptcy court of a pre-packaged bankruptcy plan for COPI. Until February 14, 2002, Richard E. Rainwater, the Chairman of Crescent’s Board of Trust Managers, and John C. Goff, the Chief Executive Officer of Crescent and the Vice-Chairman of Crescent’s Board of Trust Managers and our sole director and Chief Executive Officer, were, respectively, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of COPI and the Chief Executive Officer of COPI and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of COPI. Until their resignations on February 14, 2002, Anthony M. Frank and Paul E. Rowsey III, who are members of Crescent’s Board of Trust Managers, were members of the Board of Directors of COPI. On January 19, 2005, the bankruptcy plan became effective upon COPI’s providing notification to the bankruptcy court that all conditions to effectiveness had been satisfied. Following the effectiveness of the bankruptcy plan, Crescent issued 184,075 common shares to the stockholders of COPI in satisfaction of our final obligation under the agreement with COPI. The common shares were valued at approximately $3.0 million in accordance with the terms of our agreement with COPI and the provisions of the bankruptcy plan, and the issuance of the shares was recorded as a reduction to the liability recorded in 2001. As stockholders of COPI, certain of Crescent’s trust managers and executive officers, as a group, received an aggregate of approximately 25,426 common shares.
On March 10, 2003, COPI filed a plan under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas. On June 22, 2004, the bankruptcy court confirmed the bankruptcy plan, as amended. On November 4, 2004, COPI sold its interest in AmeriCold Logistics to AmeriCold Realty Trust for approximately $19.1 million. In accordance with the confirmed bankruptcy plan, COPI used approximately $15.4 million of the proceeds to repay the loan from Bank of America, including accrued interest. In addition, in accordance with the bankruptcy plan COPI used approximately $4.4 million of the proceeds to satisfy a portion of its debt obligations to us. Of the $4.4 million, $0.7 million has been recorded as a reduction of the amounts paid by us in connection with the accrued liability recorded in 2001 relating to the COPI bankruptcy. Because we also wrote off COPI debt obligations to us in 2001, the remaining $3.7 million has been included in “Interest and other income” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2004. In addition, approximately $2.6 million of the accrued liability related

to the COPI bankruptcy was reversed in December 2004, resulting in a reduction in the amounts included in the “Other expenses” line item in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
23. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)
On March 1, 2007, Crescent announced that it had concluded the review of strategic alternatives first announced on November 1, 2006. Based on that review, Crescent adopted a plan, the Strategic Plan, which concentrates on our core office properties business. Key elements of the Strategic Plan include the opportunistic sale of certain office properties and the sale of resort residential development and resort and hotel assets anticipated to occur within one year. Following are the carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities, by segment, associated with these assets for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Americold Realty Trust and Subsidiaries:
Americold Realty Trust and Subsidiaries:
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Americold Realty Trust and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented separately herein). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards as established by the Auditing Standards Board (United States) and in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Notes 2 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2006 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment to FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
Not applicable.
Item 9A. 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-K, 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.

Table of Contents
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) inInternal 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 not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report as a result of material weaknesses identified and described below in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.Except as described below in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, we made no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management of Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited Partnership is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our employees, including management and Crescent’s 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. Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the framework established inInternal Control- Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
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 fair presentation of published financial statements 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.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
Based on our assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2006, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as a result of material weaknesses identified with respect to controls over the selection, application and monitoring of accounting policies utilized by a consolidated subsidiary. These material weaknesses resulted in the misapplication of generally accepted accounting principles in our previously issued consolidated financial statements, which we have restated as discussed further below.
DESCRIPTION AND REMEDIATION OF MATERIAL WEAKNESSES
Refundable Fees for Club Member Services.We identified that the selection, application and monitoring of accounting policies utilized by a consolidated subsidiary resulted in the incorrect application of generally accepted accounting principles associated with accounting for refundable fees for club member services. As a result of this material weakness, Net Income was overstated. We have restated our audited consolidated financial statements through a cumulative adjustment to decrease Partners’ Capital as of December 31, 2003 by $4.6 million and decreased our Net Income by $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, to correct these errors.
Classification of Club Membership Intangible Asset.We identified that the selection, application and monitoring of accounting policies utilized by a consolidated subsidiary resulted in the incorrect application of generally accepted accounting principles associated with the classification of a club membership intangible asset. As a result of this material weakness, Net Income for the years ended December 31, 1997 through 2005 was overstated. We have restated our audited consolidated financial statements through a cumulative adjustment to decrease Partners’ Capital as of December 31, 2003 by $3.9 million and increased our Net Income by $1.9 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, to correct these errors.
Remediation Steps to Address Material Weaknesses.With respect to both the Refundable Fees for Club Member Services and Classification of Club Member Intangible Asset items above, to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, subsequent to year end we have modified our application of accounting principles and improved training at our consolidated subsidiary to ensure application of the correct generally accepted accounting principles to support understanding of those accounting principles.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Sole Director of Crescent Real Estate Equities, Ltd.
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, because of the effect of a material weakness identified with respect to controls over the selection, application and monitoring of accounting policies utilized by a consolidated subsidiary, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Partnership’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed 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. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment:
Management identified as a material weakness the Partnership’s ineffective control over the selection, application and monitoring of accounting policies utilized by a consolidated subsidiary, including refundable fees for club member services and intangible assets.
As a result of this material weakness in internal control, the Partnership concluded its previously issued financial statements should be restated. The restatement is discussed in detail in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests

applied in our audit of the 2006 financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated March 26, 2007, on those financial statements.
In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Partnership did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Partnership has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the COSO criteria.
