NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and regulations. The following notes, which present interim disclosures as required by the SEC, highlight significant changes to the notes to our December 31, 2005 audited consolidated financial statements and should be read together with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K.
NOTE 1 — BUSINESS OF EQUITY OFFICE
Equity Office Properties Trust is a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and the sole general partner of EOP Operating Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“EOP Partnership”). The use of the words “Equity Office”, “we”, “us”, or “our” in this Form 10-Q refers to Equity Office Properties Trust and its subsidiaries, including EOP Partnership, except where the context otherwise requires. We are a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate company principally engaged, through our subsidiaries, in owning, managing, leasing and developing office properties.
As of June 30, 2006, we owned whole or partial interests in 595 office buildings comprising 109.2 million square feet in 16 states and the District of Columbia (“Total Office Portfolio”). After excluding the partial interests owned by our joint venture partners, our share of the Total Office Portfolio is 99.4 million square feet and is referred to as the “Effective Office Portfolio.” The Effective Office Portfolio represents our economic interest in the office properties from which we derive the net income we recognize in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Effective Office Portfolio square feet of 99.4 million has not been reduced to reflect our minority interest partners’ share of EOP Partnership. Properties that have been taken out of service and properties under development are not included in these property statistics. Throughout this report, information is disclosed for either the Total Office Portfolio or the Effective Office Portfolio, or both. The table below shows, in summary, the property statistics for each portfolio as of June 30, 2006.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation |
We own substantially all of our assets and conduct substantially all of our operations through EOP Partnership and its subsidiary entities. We owned 89.8% and 89.7% of EOP Partnership at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, through our ownership of partnership units of EOP Partnership (“Units”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Property holding entities and other subsidiaries of which we own 100% of the equity or receive all of the economics are consolidated. We consolidate certain property holding entities and other subsidiaries in which we own less than a 100% equity interest if the entity is a variable interest entity and we are the primary beneficiary (as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation 46(R),Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, as revised (“FIN 46(R)”)). In accordance with Emerging Issues

Task Force 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”), we also consolidate certain joint ventures in which we have the direct or indirect ability to control certain decisions that would be expected to be made in the ordinary course of the joint venture’s business. Such decisions are defined in the respective joint venture agreements and include, but are not limited to, participating rights with respect to operating, capital and leasing decisions affecting the joint venture (generally through the annual budgeting process).
Minority Interests in Partially Owned Properties |
We are the controlling partner in various consolidated entities having a minority interest book value of $1.2 billion at June 30, 2006. The organizational documents of these entities contain provisions that require the entities to be liquidated through the sale of their assets upon reaching the future date specified in each respective agreement. As controlling partner, we have an obligation to cause these property owning entities to distribute proceeds of liquidation to the minority interest partners in these partially owned properties only if the net proceeds received by the entities from the sale of its assets warrant a distribution based on the agreements. In accordance with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity(“FAS 150”), we estimate the value of minority interest distributions would have been $2.1 billion (“Settlement Value”) had the entities been liquidated as of June 30, 2006. This Settlement Value is based on the estimated third party consideration realizable by the entities upon a hypothetical disposition of the properties and is net of all other assets and liabilities and yield maintenance (or prepayment penalties) associated with the hypothetical repayment of any mortgages encumbering the properties, that would have been due. The amount of any actual distributions to minority interest holders in our partially owned properties is very difficult to predict due to many factors, including the inherent uncertainty of real estate sales. If the entities’ underlying assets are worth less than the underlying liabilities, we have no obligation to remit any consideration to the minority interest holders in partially owned properties.
Use of Estimates |
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Unaudited Interim Statements |
The consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and related footnote disclosures are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
Reclassifications |
Certain reclassifications have been made to the previously reported 2005 statements in order to provide comparability with the 2006 statements reported herein. These reclassifications have not changed the 2005 results of operations or combined shareholders’ equity and mandatorily redeemable preferred shares.

Share Based Employee Compensation Plans |
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment(“FAS 123(R)”), which replaced Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation(“FAS 123”). FAS 123(R) requires compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. We adopted FAS 123(R) effective January 1, 2006 using the modified-prospective method. Previously, we had adopted FAS 123 on January 1, 2003 using the prospective method. Under this method, the fair value of compensation expense was recorded for all share options and other equity awards granted or modified after January 1, 2003. Accordingly, the adoption of FAS 123(R) did not have a material effect on our results of operations and financial position.
The following table illustrates the unaudited effect on net (loss) available to common shareholders and (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 if a fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested share options granted prior to January 1, 2003. Compensation expense related to restricted share awards is not presented in the table below because the expense amount is the same under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees(“APB 25”), which we applied prior to adopting FAS 123, and, therefore, is already reflected in net (loss).

Impact of a New Accounting Standard |
In June 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus in 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

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — (Continued)
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.
Upon adoption of EITF 04-5, effective January 1, 2006, we consolidated the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the following properties that we previously accounted for under the equity method:
Rowes Wharf | 10 & 30 South Wacker | Pasadena Towers | ||
Promenade II | SunTrust Center | Columbia Center | ||
161 North Clark | Prominence in Buckhead | World Trade Center East | ||

1111 19th Street | 1620 L Street | 1333 H Street | ||
Yahoo! Center | 201 Mission Street | 580 California |
We adopted EITF 04-5 using the prospective method; therefore prior periods have not been restated for this change. The table below summarizes the effect on our assets and liabilities as a result of the consolidation of these joint ventures.
(Dollars in thousands) | As of January 1, 2006 | |||

Increase in minority interests — partially owned properties | $ | 1,205,236 | ||
Increase in net other assets and liabilities | $ | 175,264 | ||

Prior to January 1, 2006, our share of the net income from these joint ventures was included in “Income from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures” on the consolidated statements of operations. Upon consolidation, our results of operations include the revenues and expenses of these joint ventures and an allocation to the minority interest partners for their share of the net income. The consolidation of the joint ventures did not impact income from continuing operations or net income available to common shareholders. The table below summarizes the effect on our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as a result of the consolidation of these joint ventures.

NOTE 7 — UNSECURED NOTES
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the following transactions occurred:
Unsecured Notes — Issued: |
On June 27, 2006, we issued $1.5 billion of exchangeable senior unsecured notes that mature on July 15, 2026. The notes bear interest at a fixed coupon rate of 4.00% and an effective rate of 4.11%. The notes are exchangeable into our common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”), at the option of the holder, under specific circumstances or on or after July 15, 2025, at an initial exchange rate of 23.2542 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes. This is equivalent to an initial exchange price of $43.00 per share, which represents an 18.76% premium over the $36.21 closing price of our stock at the time the transaction was priced. The initial exchange rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Upon an exchange of notes, we will settle any amounts up to the principal amount of the notes in cash and the remaining exchange value, if any, will be settled, at our option, in cash, common shares or a combination thereof.
On or after January 18, 2012, we may redeem the notes at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and in certain circumstances, any additional exchange value. In addition, on January 18, 2012, July 15, 2016 and July 15, 2021 or following the occurrence of certain change in control transactions prior to January 18, 2012, note holders may require us to repurchase the notes for an amount equal to the principal amount of the notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
We used the net proceeds from the issuance to concurrently repurchase 17.2 million of our Common Shares for $622.7 million at a price of $36.21 per share (see Note 9). The remaining $847.3 million of net proceeds were used to repay indebtedness under our revolving line of credit and term loan facilities.

NOTE 8 — LINES OF CREDIT
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the following transactions occurred:
Term Loans |
In January 2006, we exercised our option to increase our existing $750 million unsecured term loan facility by an additional $250 million, which increased the amount outstanding under the facility to $1.0 billion. This facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 55 basis points (the spread is subject to change based on EOP Partnership’s credit rating) and matures in October 2006. We incurred a fee of $1.0 million on this facility based on the outstanding balance as of June 30, 2006, which was reflected as additional interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. To the extent the facility is outstanding on

September 30, 2006, we will incur an additional fee equal to ten basis points of the outstanding balance on such date. As of June 30, 2006, $1.0 billion was outstanding under this facility.
In February 2006, we obtained and fully drew upon a $500 million unsecured term loan facility, which had an interest rate of LIBOR plus 55 basis points and was scheduled to mature in February 2007. This facility was repaid and terminated in June 2006.
In April 2006, we obtained and fully drew upon a $225 million unsecured term loan facility, which had an interest rate of LIBOR plus 60 basis points and was scheduled to mature in June 2006. This facility was repaid and terminated in June 2006.

NOTE 11 — SEGMENT INFORMATION
As discussed in Note 1, our primary business is the ownership and operation of office properties, which represents our only reportable segment. The primary financial measure that our chief operating decision makers use for our office properties is property net operating income, which represents rental revenue, tenant reimbursements, parking and other operating revenues less real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and mainte-

nance and property operating expense (all as reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations). We believe that property net operating income is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of our operating performance because it represents the actual operating results of our properties. Total assets consists primarily of the assets in our office properties operating segment. There are other assets such as corporate furniture, fixtures and equipment that are not associated with the office property segment, but these assets are immaterial.

NOTE 12 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
We owned the San Felipe Plaza office property in a partnership with an affiliate of Samuel Zell, the Chairman of our Board of Trustees. As part of the agreements governing the initial acquisition of this property, we agreed to pay any capital gains tax incurred by the affiliate if the property was sold. As a result of the sale of this property in August 2005, we paid $1.0 million to this affiliate in May 2006, to cover its capital gains tax liability.

NOTE 13 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Concentration of Credit Risk |
We maintain our cash and cash equivalents at various high quality financial institutions. The combined account balances at each institution typically exceed FDIC insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. We believe this risk is not significant.
Environmental |
As an owner of real estate, we are subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Compliance with existing environmental laws has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, and management does not believe it will have such an impact in the future. However, we cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on our properties, properties that we have sold or on properties that may be acquired in the future.
Litigation |
We are not presently subject to material litigation nor, to our knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against us, other than routine actions for negligence and other claims and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of this litigation is expected to be covered by liability insurance or third party indemnifications. We do not expect any or all of this litigation to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Property Acquisitions |
In May 2006, we signed an agreement to acquire the 1540 Broadway office property comprising 906,287 square feet located in New York, New York for $525.1 million. This acquisition closed on July 11, 2006.
Contingencies |
Certain joint venture agreements contain buy/sell options in which each party has the option to acquire the interest of the other party but do not generally require that we buy our partners’ interests. We have one joint venture which allows our unaffiliated partners, at their election, to require that we buy their interests during a specified future time period commencing in 2009 based on a formula contained in the agreement. In addition, we have granted options to each of two tenants to purchase the property it occupies. In accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies, we have not recorded a liability or the related asset that would result from the acquisition (in connection with the above potential obligations) because the probability of our unaffiliated partners requiring us to buy their interest is not currently determinable and we are unable to estimate the amount of the payment required for that purpose.
194 of our properties, consisting of 27.9 million square feet, are subject to restrictions on taxable dispositions under tax protection agreements entered into with some of the contributors of the properties. The carrying value of these properties was $6.0 billion at June 30, 2006. The restrictions on taxable dispositions are effective for periods expiring at different times through 2031. The terms of these tax protection agreements generally prevent us from selling the properties in taxable transactions unless we indemnify the contributing partners for their income tax liability on the portion of the gain on sale allocated to them as a result of the property’s value at the time of its contribution to us or to our predecessor. We do not believe that the tax protection agreements materially affect the conduct of our business or our decisions whether to dispose of

restricted properties because we generally hold our properties for long-term investment purposes. However, where we have deemed it to be in our shareholders’ best interests to dispose of restricted properties, we have endeavored to do so, when practicable, through transactions structured as tax-deferred transactions under section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Whenever practicable, we anticipate structuring most future dispositions of restricted properties as transactions intended to qualify for tax-deferred treatment. We therefore view the likelihood of incurring any material indemnification obligations as a result of our tax protection agreements to be remote. Were we to dispose of a restricted property in a taxable transaction, we generally would be required to pay to a partner (that is a beneficiary of one of the tax protection agreements) an amount based on the amount of income tax the partner would be required to pay on the incremental gain allocated to such partner as a result of the built-in gain that existed with respect to such property at the time of its contribution to us or to our predecessor. In some cases there is a further requirement to reimburse any additional tax liability arising from the indemnification payment itself. The exact amount that would be payable with respect to any particular taxable sale of a restricted property would depend on a number of factors, many of which can only be calculated at the time of any future sale, including the sale price of the property at the time of the sale, the partnership’s basis in the property at the time of the sale, the partner’s basis in the assets at the time of the contribution, the partner’s applicable rate of federal, state and local taxation at the time of the sale and the timing of the sale itself.

Insurance |
Property Damage, Business Interruption, Earthquake and Terrorism: We have a captive insurance company which is a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary. As described below, we are responsible for losses up to certain levels for property damage (including wind and flood damage resulting from hurricanes), business interruption, earthquakes, terrorism and other events prior to third-party insurance coverage. Accordingly, any losses incurred up to our loss exposure amounts or in excess of third-party coverage limitations will be reflected in our financial statements as insurance expense. The insurance coverage provided through third-party insurance carriers is subject to coverage limitations.
Third-Party Coverage | ||||
Type of Insurance Coverage | Our Loss Exposure/Deductible | Limitation | ||
Property damage and business interruption(a) | $50 million per occurrence and $75 million annual aggregate exposure (which includes amounts paid for earthquake loss), plus $1 million per occurrence deductible | $1.0 billion per occurrence(c) | ||
Earthquake(a)(b) | $75 million per occurrence and annual aggregate exposure (which includes amounts paid for property damage and business interruption loss), plus $1 million per occurrence deductible | $325 million in the aggregate per year(c) | ||
Acts of terrorism(d) | $4.9 million per occurrence deductible (plus 10% of the remainder of each and every loss with a maximum per occurrence exposure of $37.4 million which includes the $4.9 million deductible); however, TRIEA provides that if the aggregate industry loss as a result of any such foreign terrorism occurrence is less than $50 million ($100 million in 2007), we are responsible for 100% of such loss. Our intent is to insure such amounts in excess of $50 million in 2007. | $825 million per occurrence(e) |
(a) | We retain up to $75 million annual aggregate loss throughout the portfolio. In the event of a loss in excess of the per occurrence or annual aggregate amount, the third-party insurance carriers would be obligated to cover the losses up to the stated coverage amounts in the table above. | |
(b) | The amount of the third party insurance relating to earthquakes is based on maximum probable loss studies performed by independent third parties. The maximum annual aggregate payment amount for earthquake loss is $325 million, inclusive of our loss exposure of $75 million plus $1 million per occurrence deductible. There can be no assurance that the actual losses suffered in the event of an earthquake would not exceed the amount of such insurance coverage. | |
(c) | These amounts include our loss exposure/deductible amount. | |
(d) | This coverage includes nuclear, chemical and biological events under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (“TRIA”). This coverage does not apply to non-TRIA events (which are terrorism events that are not committed by a foreigner or a foreign country). We maintain separate insurance with a $325 million annual aggregate limit subject to a deductible of $1 million for non-TRIA events. This separate coverage for non-TRIA events excludes nuclear, biological and chemical events. | |
TRIA established the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program (“TRIP”) to mandate that insurance carriers offer insurance covering physical damage from terrorist incidents certified by the U.S. government as foreign terrorist acts. Under TRIP, the federal government shares in the risk of loss associated with certain future terrorist acts. TRIA was extended for two years under the Terrorism Risk Insurance |

Extension Act (“TRIEA”), which established new requirements and expires on December 31, 2007. TRIEA created a new program trigger for any certified act of terrorism occurring after March 31, 2006 that prohibits payment of federal compensation unless the aggregate industry insured losses resulting from that act of terrorism exceed $50 million for 2006 and $100 million for 2007.
(e) | This amount is in excess of our deductible amounts. |
Pollution: We have pollution and remediation insurance coverage for both sudden and gradual events. Limits for this exposure are $2 million per loss and $10 million aggregate per year subject to a deductible of $100,000 per occurrence.
Workers Compensation, Automobile Liability and General Liability: We have per occurrence deductible amounts for workers compensation of $500,000, auto liability of $250,000 and general liability of $1,000,000.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which relate to, without limitation, future economic performance, plans and objectives of each of Equity Office Properties Trust (“Equity Office”) and EOP Operating Limited Partnership for future operations and projections of revenue and other financial items, which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative thereof or other variations thereof or compatible terminology. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s present expectations and beliefs about future events. As with any projection or forecast, these statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such forward-looking statements and that should be considered in evaluating this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) and the outlook of Equity Office include, but are not limited to, the following: although our occupancy and market rents are increasing, we continue to experience rent roll down in certain markets, although at diminishing levels, as leases expire and are renewed at current rates and our operations may continue to be negatively impacted by the effect of increased expenses (including energy costs and repairs and maintenance expense) and higher tenant improvement and leasing costs; our long term leases cause our operating results to lag improving market conditions; our geographic market diversity may cause our operating results to be less favorable than operating results in the strongest markets; in order to continue to pay distributions to our common shareholders and unitholders at anticipated levels, we must borrow funds or sell assets; we were a net seller of real estate in 2005 and the first six months of 2006 and expect to continue to sell assets during the remainder of 2006, which may further reduce our income from continuing operations and funds from operations; future disposition activity may also result in gains or losses on sale of real estate, earnings dilution and impairment charges; our performance and share value are subject to risks associated with the real estate industry; new acquisitions may fail to perform as expected; our ability to dispose of assets on terms we find acceptable will be subject to market conditions we do not control; our properties face significant competition; we face potential adverse effects from tenant bankruptcies or insolvencies; competition for acquisitions or an oversupply of properties for sale could adversely affect us; and a hurricane, earthquake or terrorist act could adversely affect our business and such losses, or other potential losses, may not be fully covered by third-party insurance.
These and other risks and uncertainties are detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including Form 10-K filed on March 15, 2006 and Form 8-K filed on March 9, 2006, as amended by Part II — Item 1A of this Form 10-Q. Except with respect to material changes in such risk factors as may be reflected from time to time in our quarterly filings, we are under no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any obligation to, update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of changes, new information, subsequent events or otherwise.
The following discussion should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

I. | Executive Summary |
Equity Office is the largest publicly traded owner and manager of office properties in the United States. We own, manage, lease and develop office properties. At June 30, 2006, we had a national office portfolio comprised of whole or partial interests in 595 office buildings located in 16 states and the District of Columbia. We own premium quality office buildings. Based on our Effective Office Portfolio, which consists of 99.4 million square feet, 39.4% and 60.6% of our properties are located in central business districts and suburban locations, respectively. At June 30, 2006, we owned buildings in 23 markets and 99 submarkets, including our 17 principal markets which are:
Atlanta | New York | San Francisco | ||
Austin | Oakland | San Jose | ||
Boston | Orange County | Seattle | ||
Chicago | Portland | Stamford | ||
Denver | Sacramento | Washington, D.C. | ||
Los Angeles | San Diego |
We believe our principal markets generally offer the following: a strong opportunity for us to be a market leader; an ability to leverage our operating platform; sufficient market size for us to achieve scale and grow; an intellectual and cultural infrastructure; and a highly educated workforce.
We operate our properties using a portfolio-based model as compared to many real estate owners who operate on a property-by-property basis. We believe this approach allows us to operate efficiently while providing a high level of service to our tenants. Our market concentrations enable us to provide a wide range of office solutions to tenants who have local, regional and national office space needs.
The following are among the factors that affect our business and are important to consider when reviewing our financial and operating results:
• | the economic environment; | |
• | our operating and leasing results; | |
• | our investment activity and our use of the proceeds from dispositions; and | |
• | our liquidity and capital resources. |
Economic Environment
We typically experience long business cycles because our average lease term is four to six years. Accordingly, when office business fundamentals improve, our operating results tend to improve more slowly than would be the case if, for example, we re-priced a substantial percentage of our product “to market” on an annual basis. Conversely, when the fundamentals of the office business decline, our operating results do not
31
Table of Contents
deteriorate as quickly. Further, we have chosen to diversify our portfolio risk by operating in a large number of office markets whose conditions may not recover or deteriorate in tandem. As a result of these factors, variations in our operating results are likely to lag those in the general economy. Our operating results are also likely to vary from those generated by portfolios which are concentrated in fewer markets.
At the present time, the office market fundamentals are generally improving from prior years. Office job growth, a principal driver of demand for our properties, has been positive for three years and is forecasted to increase modestly in 2006 in most of our principal markets. Measured over the course of the past three years, all of our principal markets have experienced positive net absorption. Occupancy has increased in most of our principal markets, and we expect most markets to show continued modest increases for the remainder of 2006. However, in a few markets with new construction deliveries, a modest decline in occupancy is possible for the remaining portion of 2006. Although construction activity in several of our markets has recently increased, such activity remains below historical levels. Within the last twelve months, construction costs have increased (including material costs which are partially driven by rising energy costs) and this may ultimately reduce new competitive supply in a number of our markets.
Rental rates have begun to trend upwards in many of our principal markets. Although rising rents and occupancy trends are expected to positively impact our operating results over time, our results will continue to be negatively impacted by anticipated decreases in rental rates on new and renewal leases in certain of our markets as compared to expiring leases (commonly referred to as rent roll down) and the effect of increased expenses (including energy costs and repairs and maintenance expense) and higher tenant improvement and leasing costs.
Operating and Leasing Results
Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 |
As the economy and office markets recover, we are seeing improvements in substantially all of our markets. Rental rates on new and renewal leases continue to be below those of expiring leases across our portfolio; however occupancy and rental rates on our new leases have gradually been improving, which has offset the impact of the rent roll down. We also repositioned our portfolio by disposing of $2.7 billion of assets in 2005 which resulted in earnings dilution. Consolidated income from early lease terminations from continuing operations declined during the six months ended June 30, 2006 by $53.4 million (2005 included lease termination income from one tenant in the amount of $48.7 million) as compared to the prior year period. Also during the six months ended June 30, 2006, operating expenses increased primarily because of increased utility and repairs and maintenance costs (although a portion of such increases can be recovered from our tenants). As a result, our income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $0.07 per diluted share, down from $0.24 per diluted share for the comparable prior year period. Although our income from continuing operations is down, our net income available to common shareholders increased from a loss of $0.26 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to income of $0.36 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2006, mainly as a result of the non-cash impairment charges and losses on assets sold in 2005.
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force04-5,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”), effective January 1, 2006, we consolidated the assets, liabilities and results of operations of 18 joint ventures that we previously accounted for under the equity method (“JV Consolidation”). We adopted EITF 04-5 using the prospective method; therefore prior periods have not been

restated for this change. The table below summarizes the effect on our assets and liabilities as a result of the consolidation of these joint ventures.

Prior to January 1, 2006, our share of the net income from these joint ventures was included in “Income from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures” on the consolidated statements of operations. Upon consolidation, our results of operations include the revenues and expenses of these joint ventures and an allocation to the minority interest partners for their share of the net income. The consolidation of the joint ventures did not impact income from continuing operations, net income available to common shareholders or funds from operations available to common shareholders. The table below summarizes the effect on our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as a result of the consolidation of these joint ventures.

Leasing Results |
Occupancy |
Total square feet for leases under which tenants took occupancy during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were 8.8 million and 10.7 million, respectively. This decrease was primarily a result of our asset dispositions, partially offset by property acquisitions. Our Effective Office Portfolio occupancy was 90.7% as of June 30, 2006, an increase from 90.4% at the end of 2005 and 87.5% at the end of 2004. The increase in occupancy since December 31, 2004 was mainly due to selling properties with low occupancy and improved leasing results. As a result of occupancy growth, our revenues have increased in recent periods. We expect occupancy to be in the 91% to 92% range by year-end 2006.
Rental Rates |
Rental rates on new leases for tenants that have taken occupancy declined during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 by 8.6% and 12.6% (on a weighted average cash basis), respectively, when compared to rates on expiring and terminating leases. Market rents began a downward trend in 2001 as vacancy rates increased across the nation. While we have recently been able to increase rental rates in most areas (market rents increased in our principal markets an estimated 7.3% since year end 2005), we expect it to take time for rental rates to improve across the portfolio since only a portion of our leases expire each year. We estimate that rental rates on our leases that are scheduled to expire during the remainder of 2006 are 5% to 10% above current market rental rates. The decline in rents to current market levels adversely affects our rental revenues. Until market rental rates increase from their current levels to the level payable under expiring leases (which
33
Table of Contents
we believe may not occur in a majority of our markets until mid 2007), we expect that rent roll down will reduce our rental revenues and results of operations.
Early Lease Terminations |
We had 1.2 million square feet of early lease terminations during the six months ended June 30, 2006, which compares to 2.0 million square feet (including 0.3 million from a single tenant) in the six months ended June 30, 2005. Income from early lease terminations was significantly lower in the first six months of 2006 than the first six months of 2005 primarily because of one large termination fee in the first quarter of 2005.
Tenant Improvements and Leasing Costs |
In order to retain tenants and obtain new tenants, we incur tenant improvement and leasing costs, which have been at historically high levels since 2003. Our share of such costs for the six months ended June 30, 2006 averaged $17.17 per square foot as compared to the full year 2005 average of $20.23 per square foot. We expect a significant increase in tenant improvements and leasing costs during the latter half of 2006 resulting in the average costs for all of 2006 to be between $21.50 and $23.50 per square foot. These increasing costs are due to higher construction costs across the country. Also, the repositioning of our portfolio has resulted in a higher concentration of buildings in markets that require higher tenant improvement costs.

(c) | Based on the monthly contractual rent when the lease commenced, expired or terminated multiplied by 12 months. For new and renewal leases, if the monthly contractual rent when the lease commenced is $0 (as a result of rent abatements), then the rental rate represents the first monthly rent payment due multiplied by 12 months (“Annualized Cash Rent”). The contractual rent amounts include total base rent and estimated expense reimbursements from tenants before any adjustments for rent abatements and contractual increases or decreases in rent. We believe Annualized Cash Rent is a useful measure because this information can be used for comparison to current market rents as published by various third party sources. |
Investment Activity |
During the last few years, we took steps to reposition our portfolio for long-term growth. We took advantage of a favorable asset-sale environment and during 2005 sold, on an Effective Office Portfolio basis, $2.7 billion of assets and acquired $1.4 billion of assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 we sold $417.4 million of assets comprising 2.7 million square feet and acquired five buildings, one vacant land parcel, one development property and one other investment for $165.1 million. Our portfolio is comprised of premium quality office buildings in diverse geographic markets. More than 96.7% of our assets (based on total square feet) are currently located in our 17 principal markets.
We continually evaluate our portfolio on both a property-by-property and a market basis and are focused on maximizing the value and total return of every asset. There are times when market conditions or asset management strategy warrants selling properties in our principal markets. We expect to continue to take advantage of market opportunities and to engage in further sales based on market conditions and achieving our return criteria. On August 1, 2006, we announced that we are exploring the sale of $2.0 billion to $2.5 billion of additional assets over the next six to 12 months. Dispositions under consideration include certain assets in principal markets such as Chicago, Denver and Northern California. As a part of this strategy, we may also exit the Atlanta market over time. While we expect to recognize an overall net gain from any such dispositions should they occur, the decision to sell certain assets may require material non-cash impairment charges in the third quarter and perhaps in subsequent quarters.
We may continue to use disposition proceeds, in part, for acquisitions, capital spending in our existing portfolio, debt repayments, distributions to our shareholders and unitholders, and repurchases of our common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”) and partnership units of EOP Partnership (“Units”). When we sell assets in the future, we may recognize gains, losses or impairment charges, and may experience earnings dilution. Ultimately, the amount and duration of dilution, if any, from asset sales will depend upon the manner in which we redeploy our capital over time. We believe any short-term earnings dilution is outweighed by our improved prospects for long-term growth.
Since 2003, on a net square footage basis, we have decreased our Total Office Portfolio by more than 16 million square feet, or 13%, and reduced our number of markets by nine. We recently announced a significant realignment with the objective of bringing our corporate and property operating general and administrative costs further in line with our reduced size. The changes include moving from a regional to a functional structure. We will continue to centralize operations with the primary focus on the three key functions of our business — property management, leasing and asset management. As a result of the realignment, we anticipate recording a severance charge of $30 million in the second half of 2006 with the majority being recognized in the third quarter.
We expect to continue, as market conditions permit, to invest a portion of the capital from our dispositions or other sources of capital into acquisitions and developments which we expect to meet our return
35
Table of Contents
criteria. While the current commercial real estate market has provided us with favorable valuations for assets we have sold, this same market has also created an extremely competitive atmosphere for acquiring properties. Most of the properties we acquired during the first six months of 2006 had average occupancy rates lower than our weighted average portfolio occupancy. We acquired these properties, however, because they were attractively priced, located in our principal markets and have growth potential that we believe will make them accretive to our earnings over the long term.
As of June 30, 2006, our overall debt levels increased $1.8 billion as compared to December 31, 2005, mainly as a result of funds used for share repurchases and the JV Consolidation, which totaled $682.0 million (our share of which is $306.9 million). We repurchased 35.6 million Common Shares (at an average purchase price of $34.03 per share for $1.2 billion) and redeemed 2.8 million Units (at an average purchase price of $30.89 per Unit for $87.9 million). Included in these amounts are 17.2 million Common Shares repurchased concurrently with the June 2006 issuance of $1.5 billion of exchangeable senior unsecured notes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As discussed later in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section, for 2006 we anticipate that our net cash flow provided by operating activities will be insufficient to meet all of our cash requirements including capital improvements, tenant improvements and leasing costs as well as distributions to shareholders and unitholders and that we will cover the shortfall with proceeds primarily from financing activities and asset sales.

The financial results presented in the consolidated statements of operations show significant changes fromperiod-to-period. Ourperiod-to-period financial results may not be comparable because we acquire and dispose of properties on an ongoing basis. We have also consolidated properties (that we previously recorded under the equity method) as a result of the JV Consolidation. During 2005, we completed a significant amount of disposition activity which resulted in earnings dilution. The net income for properties sold and properties held for sale (including all revenue and expense line items) is included in Discontinued Operations. See Item 1 — Note 4 for more information, including the results of operations for the properties classified as Discontinued Operations.

(a) | Corporate general and administrative expense is not allocated to the Same Store Portfolio because these expenses are not directly incurred in connection with any specific property. | |
(b) | Interest expense (including amortization of deferred financing costs and prepayment expenses) for the Same Store Portfolio represents interest expense on mortgage debt and does not include interest expense on the unsecured notes or the lines of credit. |

Table of Contents
(c) | Property net operating income consists of property operating revenues minus property operating expenses. Included in property operating revenues are rental revenue, tenant reimbursements, parking and other income, which includes income from early lease terminations. Included in property operating expenses are real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance and property operating expenses. See Item 1 — Note 11 for more information. | |
(d) | Property operating margin is determined by dividing property operating revenues less property operating expenses by property operating revenues. |
Property Operating Revenues |
Property operating revenues in the Same Store Portfolio increased primarily because of increased occupancy and an increase in tenant reimbursements (we recover a portion of increases in our operating expenses from our tenants), partially offset by a decrease in income from early lease terminations and the effect of the rent roll down. Same store occupancy increased from 89.5% at March 31, 2005 to 91.1% at June 30, 2006.
Property operating revenues in the Total Company increased primarily because of property acquisitions, consolidations and developments, which accounted for $127.3 million of the increase ($97.1 million of which was due to the JV Consolidation), and increases in the Same Store Portfolio, as explained above.
Depreciation and Amortization |
Depreciation and amortization expense in the Same Store Portfolio increased because of capital and tenant improvements placed in service since the beginning of the prior period.
Depreciation and amortization expense in the Total Company increased because of property acquisitions, consolidations and developments, which accounted for $37.4 million of the increase ($25.6 million of which was due to the JV Consolidation), and the increases in the Same Store Portfolio, as explained above.
Real Estate Taxes |
Real estate taxes in the Same Store Portfolio decreased primarily due to a reduction of prior year taxes due to successful appeals, partially offset by increases in taxes at other properties. We anticipate real estate taxes will continue to fluctuate based on changes in property assessments and tax rates.
Real estate taxes increased in the Total Company because of property acquisitions, consolidations and developments, which accounted for $19.6 million of the increase ($15.1 million of which was due to the JV Consolidation). This increase in real estate taxes was partially offset by the decrease in the Same Store Portfolio, as explained above.
Repairs and Maintenance |
Repairs and maintenance expense increased in the Same Store Portfolio as a result of increased cleaning expense attributable to higher contractual rates and increased occupancy, higher payroll costs for building engineers and higher spending for major repairs. We increased our spending in repairs and maintenance as part of a program to maintain high levels of quality in our properties. Repairs and maintenance expense is expected to continue at an increased level as a result of planned projects in 2006.
Repairs and maintenance expense increased in the Total Company because of property acquisitions, consolidations and developments, which accounted for $19.1 million of the increase ($15.2 million of which was due to the JV Consolidation), and increases in the Same Store Portfolio, as explained above.
Property Operating |
Property operating expense increased for the Same Store Portfolio primarily due to an increase in utilities expense of $4.1 million attributable to higher utility rates and increased occupancy and increased payroll expenses. We anticipate that utility costs will increase in the coming quarters when compared to historical
39

costs if utility rates and the occupancy levels of our properties continue to increase. A portion of such expenses will be recoverable from tenants.
Property operating expenses in the Total Company increased because of property acquisitions, consolidations and developments, which accounted for $14.3 million of the increase ($11.1 million of which was due to the JV Consolidation), and increases in the Same Store Portfolio, as explained above.
In conjunction with our recently announced realignment, we anticipate recording a severance charge of $30 million (primarily in property operating general and administrative expense) in the second half of 2006 with the majority being recognized in the third quarter.
Impairment |
Refer to Item 1 — Note 4.
Interest Expense |
Interest expense in the Same Store Portfolio decreased primarily because of mortgage debt repayments.
Interest expense for the Total Company increased primarily as a result of increased indebtedness used for Common Share and Unit repurchases during 2005 and 2006 and the JV Consolidation (which accounted for $7.7 million of the increase). The increase in interest expense was partially offset by the repayment of higher interest rate debt with proceeds from asset sales and the issuance of new debt at lower interest rates. In addition, capitalized interest increased $6.6 million due to an increase in development activity (capitalized interest has the effect of reducing overall interest expense). As of June 30, 2006, 89% of our total debt was at a fixed interest rate and our weighted average interest rate on consolidated debt was 6.33% compared to 6.68% at June 30, 2005. Our fixed to floating debt ratio will fluctuate periodically based on, among other things, our capital transaction activities, including acquisitions, dispositions, share repurchases and debt maturities.
Minority Interest — Partially Owned Properties |
Income allocated to minority interests in partially owned properties for the Total Company increased primarily because of the JV Consolidation, which accounted for $10.7 million of the increase.
Income from Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures |
Income from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for the Total Company decreased primarily because of the 2005 sales of our interests in three properties, which accounted for $18.4 million (consisting primarily of gain on sale of assets) of the decrease, and the JV Consolidation, which accounted for $10.0 million of the decrease.
Discontinued Operations |
Discontinued operations consists of properties we sold and also properties classified as held for sale. See Item 1 — Note 4 for additional information regarding discontinued operations.

income, which includes income from early lease terminations. Included in property operating expenses are real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance and property operating expenses. See Item 1 — Note 11 for more information. | ||
(d) | Property operating margin is determined by dividing property operating revenues less property operating expenses by property operating revenues. |
Property Operating Revenues |
Property operating revenues in the Same Store Portfolio decreased primarily because of a decrease in income from early lease terminations of $55.4 million, of which $48.7 million related to a single tenant during the first half of 2005, and the effect of the rent roll down. The decrease was partially offset by increased occupancy and an increase in tenant reimbursements (we recover a portion of increases in our operating expenses from our tenants). Same store occupancy increased from 89.5% at December 31, 2004 to 91.1% at June 30, 2006.
Property operating revenues in the Total Company increased primarily because of property acquisitions, consolidations and developments, which accounted for $259.0 million of the increase ($191.1 million of which was due to the JV Consolidation). This increase in property operating revenues was partially offset by the decreases in the Same Store Portfolio, as explained above.
Depreciation and Amortization |
Depreciation and amortization expense in the Same Store Portfolio increased because of capital and tenant improvements placed in service since the beginning of the prior period.
Depreciation and amortization expense in the Total Company increased because of property acquisitions, consolidations and developments, which accounted for $82.0 million of the increase ($50.7 million of which was due to the JV Consolidation), and the increases in the Same Store Portfolio, as explained above.
Real Estate Taxes |
Real estate taxes in the Same Store Portfolio increased primarily due to property tax increases on certain properties, partially offset by a reduction of prior year taxes due to successful appeals recorded in the second quarter of 2006. We anticipate real estate taxes will continue to fluctuate based on changes in property assessments and tax rates.
Real estate taxes increased in the Total Company because of property acquisitions, consolidations and developments, which accounted for $39.9 million of the increase ($30.5 million of which was due to the JV Consolidation), and the increase in the Same Store Portfolio, as explained above.
Repairs and Maintenance |
Repairs and maintenance expense increased in the Same Store Portfolio as a result of increased cleaning expense attributable to higher contractual rates and increased occupancy, higher payroll costs for building engineers and higher spending for major repairs. We increased our spending in repairs and maintenance as part of a program to maintain high levels of quality in our properties. Repairs and maintenance expense is expected to continue at an increased level as a result of planned projects in 2006.
Repairs and maintenance expense increased in the Total Company because of property acquisitions, consolidations and developments, which accounted for $35.3 million of the increase ($27.9 million of which was due to the JV Consolidation), and increases in the Same Store Portfolio, as explained above.
Property Operating |
Property operating expense increased for the Same Store Portfolio primarily due to an increase in utilities expense of $11.9 million attributable to higher utility rates and increased occupancy and increased payroll expenses. We anticipate that utility costs will increase in the coming quarters when compared to historical
42
Table of Contents
costs if utility rates and the occupancy levels of our properties continue to increase. A portion of such expenses will be recoverable from tenants. In addition, we incurred severance expense of $3.1 million in 2006 and $2.8 million in 2005.
Property operating expenses in the Total Company increased because of property acquisitions, consolidations and developments, which accounted for $29.7 million of the increase ($21.3 million of which was due to the JV Consolidation), and increases in the Same Store Portfolio, as explained above.
In conjunction with our recently announced realignment, we anticipate recording a severance charge of $30 million (primarily in property operating general and administrative expense) in the second half of 2006 with the majority being recognized in the third quarter.
Impairment |
Refer to Item 1 — Note 4.
Interest Expense |
Interest expense in the Same Store Portfolio decreased primarily because of mortgage debt repayments.
Interest expense for the Total Company increased primarily as a result of increased indebtedness used for Common Share and Unit repurchases during 2005 and 2006 and the JV Consolidation (which accounted for $19.2 million of the increase). The increase in interest expense was partially offset by the repayment of higher interest rate debt with proceeds from asset sales and the issuance of new debt at lower interest rates. In addition, capitalized interest increased $7.0 million due to an increase in development activity (capitalized interest has the effect of reducing overall interest expense). As of June 30, 2006, 89% of our total debt was at a fixed interest rate and our weighted average interest rate on consolidated debt was 6.33% compared to 6.68% at June 30, 2005. Our fixed to floating debt ratio will fluctuate periodically based on, among other things, our capital transaction activities, including acquisitions, dispositions, share repurchases and debt maturities.
Minority Interest — Partially Owned Properties |
Income allocated to minority interests in partially owned properties for the Total Company increased primarily because of the JV Consolidation, which accounted for $20.5 million of the increase.
Income from Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures |
Income from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for the Total Company decreased primarily because of the 2005 sales of our interests in three properties, which accounted for $19.9 million (consisting primarily of gain on sale of assets) of the decrease, and the JV Consolidation, which accounted for $17.5 million of the decrease.
Discontinued Operations |
Discontinued operations consists of properties we sold and also properties classified as held for sale. See Item 1 — Note 4 for additional information regarding discontinued operations.
III. | Liquidity and Capital Resources |
Liquidity
Net cash provided by operating activities is primarily dependent upon occupancy levels of our properties, rental rates on our leases and our level of operating and other expenses. Our primary sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include cash provided by operating activities, borrowings against our lines of credit, other unsecured notes and proceeds from asset sales. Cash requirements include capital improvements, tenant improvements, leasing costs, distributions to our shareholders and unitholders and minority interest in partially owned properties, repurchases of our securities and acquisition and development costs.
43
Table of Contents
Our ability to draw upon our lines of credit and to incur additional indebtedness is dependent in part on our compliance with various financial and other covenants as required by existing indentures. A material adverse change in our net cash provided by operating activities may affect the financial performance covenants under our lines of credit and unsecured notes. If we fail to satisfy these covenants and are unable to reach a satisfactory resolution with our lenders, our lines of credit could become unavailable to us, the maturity dates for our unsecured notes could be accelerated, the interest charged on the lines of credit could increase and we may not be able to access other sources of financing. Moodys, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch provide credit ratings on EOP Partnership. If two or more of these agencies downgrade our credit ratings, the interest rate charged on our lines of credit will increase. In addition, the interest rate associated with any future financings is likely to be higher due to a decline in our credit ratings. (A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating).
During the last few years, we took steps to reposition our portfolio for long-term growth. We took advantage of a favorable asset-sale environment and during 2005 sold, on an Effective Office Portfolio basis, $2.7 billion of assets and acquired $1.4 billion of assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 we sold $417.4 million of assets comprising 2.7 million square feet and acquired five buildings, one vacant land parcel, one development property and one other investment for $165.1 million. We expect to continue to take advantage of market opportunities and to engage in further sales based on market conditions and achieving our return criteria. On August 1, 2006, we announced that we are exploring the sale of $2.0 billion to $2.5 billion of additional assets over the next six to 12 months. Dispositions under consideration include certain assets in principal markets such as Chicago, Denver and Northern California. As a part of this strategy, we may also exit the Atlanta market over time. While we expect to recognize an overall net gain from any such dispositions should they occur, the decision to sell certain assets may require material non-cash impairment charges in the third quarter and perhaps in subsequent quarters. We may continue to use disposition proceeds, in part, for acquisitions, capital spending in our existing portfolio, debt repayments, distributions to our shareholders and unitholders, and repurchases of our Common Shares and Units.
As of June 30, 2006, our overall debt levels increased $1.8 billion as compared to December 31, 2005, mainly as a result of funds used for share repurchases and the JV Consolidation, which totaled $682.0 million (our share of which is $306.9 million). We repurchased 35.6 million Common Shares (at an average purchase price of $34.03 per share for $1.2 billion) and redeemed 2.8 million Units (at an average purchase price of $30.89 per Unit for $87.9 million). Included in these amounts are 17.2 million Common Shares repurchased concurrently with the June 2006 issuance of $1.5 billion of exchangeable senior unsecured notes.
In order to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must distribute an amount equal to at least 90% of our taxable income (excluding capital gains) to our shareholders. We currently distribute amounts attributable to capital gains to our shareholders; however, these amounts can be retained by us and taxed at the corporate tax rate. Accordingly, we currently intend, although we are not legally obligated, to continue to make regular quarterly distributions to holders of our common and preferred shares, at least at the level required to maintain our REIT status for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The declaration of distributions on capital shares is at the discretion of the Board of Trustees, which decision is made quarterly by the Board of Trustees based on then prevailing circumstances.
Reduced rental rates, reduced revenues as a result of asset sales and increased operating expenses (including utilities and repairs and maintenance) have reduced our net cash provided by operating activities. In addition, tenant improvement and leasing costs have increased as compared to historical levels due to competitive market conditions, higher construction costs and location of the portfolio. We anticipate that net cash provided by operating activities will be insufficient to satisfy all our cash needs including capital improvements, tenant improvement and leasing costs and distributions to our shareholders and unitholders in 2006 and that we will cover the shortfall with proceeds primarily from financing activities and asset sales. Our Board declared distributions on Common Shares for the second quarter 2006 at $0.33 per Common Share. Although we anticipate a shortfall during 2006, we expect our cash needs will fluctuate throughout the year and are dependent on factors such as the timing of our distributions, our leasing activities and asset dispositions and acquisitions.
44
Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2006, we had $1.3 billion of debt maturing in the remainder of 2006. Because REIT rules for federal income tax purposes require us to distribute 90% of our taxable income, we will not be able to retain sufficient cash to repay all of our debt as it comes due using only cash from operating activities. As a result, we will be required to repay most of our maturing debt with borrowings and proceeds from asset sales, although there can be no assurance that such dispositions or financings at acceptable terms will be available to us.
We believe that net cash provided by operating activities, proceeds from existing or future lines of credit, proceeds from other financing sources that we expect to be available to us and proceeds from asset sales will together provide sufficient liquidity to meet our cash needs during 2006.

Derivative Financial Instruments |
As of June 30, 2006, we had no outstanding derivative financial instruments.
Energy Contracts |
In an ongoing effort to control energy costs, we have entered into contracts for the purchase of gas or electricity for certain properties in states which have deregulated energy markets. Typically, the terms of the contracts range from one to three years. Although all or a portion of the commodity price under these contracts is generally fixed, the amounts actually expended under these contracts will vary in accordance with actual energy usage and the timing of energy usage during the period. Our failure to purchase the amount of energy for which we have contractual commitments could result in penalties, depending on market conditions, some of which could be significant. As these contracts expire, we will be subject to market pricing which could have the effect of increasing our energy costs.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements |
As listed above, our share of mortgage debt of unconsolidated joint ventures is $165.8 million. We do not have any other off-balance sheet arrangements with any unconsolidated investments or joint ventures that we believe have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

Lines of Credit |
Term Loans |
In January 2006, we exercised our option to increase our existing $750 million unsecured term loan facility by an additional $250 million, which increased the amount outstanding under the facility to $1.0 billion. This facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 55 basis points (the spread is subject to change based on EOP Partnership’s credit rating) and matures in October 2006. We incurred a fee of $1.0 million on this facility based on the outstanding balance as of June 30, 2006, which was reflected as additional interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. To the extent the facility is outstanding on September 30, 2006, we will incur an additional fee equal to ten basis points of the outstanding balance on such date. As of June 30, 2006, $1.0 billion was outstanding under this facility. Subsequent to June 30, 2006, we entered into an amendment that increased our $1.0 billion unsecured term loan facility to $1.6 billion. We fully drew upon this additional capacity in July 2006, which increased the amount outstanding under this facility to $1.6 billion.
In February 2006, we obtained and fully drew upon a $500 million unsecured term loan facility, which had an interest rate of LIBOR plus 55 basis points and was scheduled to mature in February 2007. This facility was repaid and terminated in June 2006.
In April 2006, we obtained and fully drew upon a $225 million unsecured term loan facility, which had an interest rate of LIBOR plus 60 basis points and was scheduled to mature in June 2006. This facility was repaid and terminated in June 2006.
Revolving Line of Credit |
As of June 30, 2006, $148.8 million was outstanding under our $1.25 billion revolving line of credit facility, which had an interest rate of LIBOR plus 60 basis points and an annual facility fee of 20 basis points, or $2.5 million. This facility matures in August 2009 and we have one option to extend the maturity date for an additional year for an extension fee of $1.875 million. We are in the process of renegotiating our $1.25 billion revolving line of credit facility, which may result in an increase in the facility amount and changes to our financial covenants. We expect to complete these renegotiations in the third quarter of 2006, subject to mutual agreement of the parties involved.

Table of Contents
We use our lines of credit and proceeds from other unsecured notes, together with net cash provided by operating activities and proceeds generated from asset sales, to fund capital improvements, tenant improvement and leasing costs, distributions to our shareholders and unitholders, financing and investing activities and for other general working capital purposes. As a result of the nature and timing of the draws, the outstanding balance on our lines of credit is subject to ongoing fluctuation and amounts outstanding under the lines of credit may from time to time be significant. We consider all such borrowings to be in the ordinary course of our business and expect fluctuations in the outstanding balance under the lines of credit.

Restrictions and Covenants under Unsecured Indebtedness |
The terms of our lines of credit and unsecured notes contain various financial covenants which require satisfaction of certain financial ratios. As of June 30, 2006, we believe we were in compliance with each of these financial covenants. If we fail to comply with any of these covenants, the indebtedness could become due and payable before its stated maturity date.

Capital Improvements, Tenant Improvements and Leasing Costs
Capital Improvements |
Significant renovations and improvements, which improve or extend the useful life of our properties are capitalized and depreciated over the improvement’s useful life. We categorize these capital expenditures as follows:
• | Capital Improvements — costs for improvements that enhance the value of the property such as lobby renovations, roof replacement, significant renovations for Americans with Disabilities Act compliance, chiller replacement and elevator upgrades. | |
• | Development and Redevelopment Costs — costs associated with the development or redevelopment of a property including construction costs, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, capitalized interest and operating costs incurred while the property is made ready for its intended use. |
The table below shows the costs incurred for each type of improvement.

(e) | On September 29, 2005, we acquired 79% of the square feet of 1095 Avenue of the Americas. Verizon, the sole tenant, occupied 96.8% of the portion of the property acquired by us at its acquisition. Verizon has been moving out in phases throughout 2006 and has vacated more than 90% of that space as of June 30, 2006. We have begun to redevelop the property as Verizon has vacated the premises, and we anticipate completing the redevelopment in Q3 2007. |
In addition to the developments described above, we own or partially own various land parcels available for development. These sites represent possible future development of up to approximately ten million square feet of office space. These potential developments will be impacted by the timing and likelihood of success of the entitlement processes, both of which are uncertain. These various sites include: Russia Wharf, Boston, MA; Prominence in Buckhead, Atlanta, GA; Perimeter Center, Atlanta, GA; Tabor Center, Denver, CO; Bridge Pointe Corporate Center, San Diego, CA; La Jolla Center, San Diego, CA; Orange Center, Orange, CA; Skyport Plaza, San Jose, CA; Station Landing, Walnut Creek, CA; NE 8th Street, Bellevue, WA; 175 Wyman, Waltham, MA; Parkshore Plaza, Folsom, CA; Commerce Plaza, Oakbrook, IL; Pointe O’Hare Land, Rosemont, IL; Kruse Oaks, Portland, OR; Reston Town Center, Reston, VA; and First & Main, Portland, OR.

Inflation
Substantially all of our office leases require the tenant to pay, as additional rent, their respective portion of real estate taxes and operating expenses. In addition, many of our office leases provide for fixed increases in base rent or escalations indexed to the Consumer Price Index or other measures. We believe that a significant portion of increases in property operating expenses will be offset, in part, by expense reimbursements and contractual rent increases described above.
Cash Flows
Throughout this MD&A, we have discussed the significant transactions that impacted our cash flows. Our consolidated statements of cash flows include cash flows from continuing and discontinued operations. Cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations was $8 million and $71 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The properties included in discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 include dispositions that occurred during the first six months of 2006, while the properties included in discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 included those same properties and all 2005 dispositions. We expect to continue, as market conditions permit, to invest a portion of the capital from our dispositions into acquisitions in targeted growth markets. We may continue to use disposition proceeds, in part, for capital spending in our existing portfolio, debt repayments, distributions to our shareholders and unitholders, and repurchases of our Common Shares and Units. As a result of the significant level of dispositions, we have experienced and may continue to experience earnings dilution. Ultimately, the amount and duration of this dilution will depend upon the manner in which we redeploy our capital over time. We believe short-term earnings dilution, if any, is outweighed by our improved prospects for long-term growth. Except as disclosed on our consolidated statements of cash flows, there was no other material impact on cash flows used for or provided by investing activities and cash flows used for financing activities from discontinued operations for either period presented.
The table below summarizes the changes in our cash and cash equivalents as a result of operating, investing and financing activities for the following periods:

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period | $ | 152,628 | $ | 615,997 | |||||
Operating Activities |
Cash provided by operating activities depends primarily on cash received from tenants in our properties in accordance with their lease obligations, less payments for our operating and other expenses. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities (which includes amounts from both continuing and discontinued operations) for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is primarily due to a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets, the impact of the JV Consolidation and the collection of tenant and other receivables for operating expense reimbursements that were due from tenants, partially offset by the impact of discontinued operations. The decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets primarily relates to prepaid real estate taxes and a receivable from a tenant that was recorded in the first quarter 2005 and subsequently collected in September 2005. As previously discussed within this MD&A, we consolidated the assets, liabilities and results of operations of 18 joint ventures that we previously accounted for under the equity method. Prior to consolidation, we reflected the distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures in cash provided by operating activities. Beginning in 2006, the cash flows from operating activities for these joint ventures is reflected in
56
Table of Contents
virtually all captions within the operating activities section, representing both our share and our minority interest partners’ share. The distributions to our minority interest partners are included in financing activities.
Investing Activities |
Net cash used for or provided by investing activities reflects the net impact of acquisitions and dispositions of properties, expenditures for capital and tenant improvements (including development costs) and lease costs. It also includes cash associated with the JV Consolidation and decreases in escrow deposits and restricted cash which primarily relate to the release of escrow funds from property sales.
Financing Activities |
Net cash used for financing activities generally includes cash provided by or used for debt transactions, distributions to our common and preferred shareholders and repurchases of our securities.
Analysis of Selected Balance Sheet Items |
As discussed in the Operating Results section of this MD&A, our consolidated balance sheet has changed significantly due to the JV Consolidation. The table below contains other selected balance sheet items that have changed significantly from December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006.

Investment in Real Estate Held for Sale, Net of Accumulated Depreciation |
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets(“FAS 144”), we have classified certain properties as held for sale. Properties held for sale are reflected in our consolidated balance sheets at the lower of their historical cost or their fair value less cost to sell (determined based on the estimated sales prices and estimated transaction costs). The properties’ net income and provision for losses, if any, are included in discontinued operations (see Item 1 — Note 4). At June 30, 2006, we had no properties held for sale. The December 31, 2005 balance includes amounts for the three properties that were held for sale at December 31, 2005 (which were sold in the first quarter 2006).
Escrow Deposits and Restricted Cash |
The increase in escrow deposits and restricted cash was primarily the result of increased escrow deposits related to the sales of two properties during the second quarter 2006 that were structured as tax-deferred exchanges and the deposit for the acquisition of 1540 Broadway which closed in July 2006.
Deferred Financing Costs |
The increase in deferred financing costs was primarily the result of loan costs related to the $1.5 billion exchangeable senior unsecured notes issued during the second quarter 2006.

Deferred Leasing Costs and Other Related Intangibles |
The increase in deferred leasing costs and other related intangibles was primarily the result of the JV Consolidation. In addition, we incurred leasing costs during 2006 for new and renewal leases and recorded deferred leasing costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141,Business Combinations(“FAS 141”).
Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets |
The decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets was primarily the result of the repayment of the $40.7 million note receivable, net of deferred gain, representing a bridge loan that we made to the buyer of an office property and a decrease in prepaid real estate taxes.
Distribution Payable |
The increase in distribution payable was primarily the result of the accrual for Common Share and Unit distributions declared during the second quarter but not paid until the third quarter.
IV. | Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates |
Refer to our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of critical accounting policies, which includes revenue recognition including allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, insurance and the fair value of financial instruments.
Refer to Item 1 — Note 2 for a discussion of the impact of new accounting standards.

Subsequent Events
See Item 1 — Note 14 for events that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2006 through August 1, 2006.
V. | Funds From Operations (“FFO”) |
FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe FFO, as defined by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), to be an appropriate measure of performance for an equity REIT, for the reasons, and subject to the qualifications, specified below.
The following tables reflect the reconciliation of FFO to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the periods presented:

Table of Contents
FFO Definition: |
FFO is defined as net income (loss), computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), excluding gains from sales of properties (but not losses from sales of properties, impairments or provisions for losses on properties held for sale), plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We believe that FFO is helpful to investors as one of several measures of the performance of an equity REIT. We further believe that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other equity REITs. Investors should review FFO, along with GAAP net income (loss) when trying to understand an equity REIT’s operating performance. We compute FFO in accordance with our interpretation of the standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other equity REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor does it represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation referred to above that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings. |
Legal proceedings are incorporated herein by reference from “Item 1. — Financial Statements — Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies.”
Item 1A. | Risk Factors. |
There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Form 10-K filed on March 15, 2006, except for the risk factor entitled “We were a net seller of real estate in 2005, which will further reduce our income from continuing operations and funds from operations. Future disposition activity may also result in gains or losses on sales of real estate and impairment charges,” which is replaced by the following risk factor.
We were a net seller of real estate in 2005, which has reduced our income from continuing operations and funds from operations. Future disposition activity may also result in gains or losses on sales of real estate, impairment charges and earnings dilution.
We were a net seller of real estate in 2003, a net buyer in 2004 and a net seller of real estate in 2005. We expect to engage in significant additional disposition activity in 2006, continuing into 2007, which will further reduce our income from continuing operations and funds from operations and may also result in gains or losses on sales of real estate, impairment charges and earnings dilution. The impact from such dispositions on our financial condition and results of operations will depend, to a great extent, on how we utilize the proceeds of such dispositions and the timing of such utilization. The actual extent of our future disposition activities will depend on various factors, certain of which are beyond our control, including market conditions.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds. |
Under our repurchase program announced in July 2002, as amended, we have been authorized to repurchase in the open market or in privately-negotiated transactions up to $2.6 billion of our Common Shares through May 31, 2007. We also obtained separate authorization during June 2006 to repurchase an additional $450.0 million of our Common Shares in a privately-negotiated transaction concurrently with our issuance of $1.5 billion of exchangeable senior unsecured notes (see Part 1 — Financial Information — Item 1. Financial Statements — Note 7). In addition, we announced in May 2004 that we may repurchase Common Shares from time to time to fund our employee benefit programs, including the 1997 Employee Share Purchase Plan and Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan (“SERP”). Such repurchases are not considered part of our open market repurchase program. The following table summarizes repurchases of our Common Shares during the second quarter of 2006:

repurchased in the open market to fund fees paid in Common Shares to each of our non-employee trustees, except Mr. Zell. The remaining 1,860 Common Shares repurchased represent Common Shares surrendered to Equity Office to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock. |
(b) | This dollar value relates to the $2.6 billion open market repurchase program only. The number of Common Shares that may yet be repurchased in the open market to fund shares purchased under our 1997 Employee Share Purchase Plan, as amended, was 1,321,249 at April 30, 2006 and May 31, 2006 and 1,290,608 at June 30, 2006. |
