      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS         

1.   Organization:
     ------------

     Boston Properties, Inc. (the "Company") a Delaware corporation, was formed
     to succeed to (i) the real estate development, redevelopment, ownership,
     acquisition, management, operating and leasing business associated with
     Boston Properties, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation founded in 1970, and
     (ii) various property partnerships under common control with the
     predecessor company (collectively, the "Boston Properties Predecessor
     Group" or the "Predecessor"). The Company intends to qualify as a real
     estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
     as amended.

     On June 23, 1997, the Company commenced operations after completing an
     initial public offering of 36,110,000 common shares (including 4,710,000
     shares issued as a result of the exercise of an over-allotment option by
     the underwriters) (the "Offering"). The 36,110,000 shares of common stock
     were issued at a price per share of $25.00, generating gross proceeds of
     $902,750,000. The aggregate proceeds to the Company, net of underwriters'
     discount and offering costs were approximately $839,209,000.

     The following transactions occurred simultaneously with the completion of
     the Offering, (collectively, the "Formation Transactions):

        .  The Company became the sole general partner of Boston Properties
           Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). Upon completion of
           the Offering, the Company contributed substantially all of the net
           proceeds of the Offering in exchange for an approximately 70.66%
           interest in the Operating Partnership.

        .  The Operating Partnership exercised various option and purchase
           agreements whereby it issued units in the Operating Partnership
           ("Units") representing an approximately 29.34% limited partnership
           interest, to the continuing investors in exchange for interests in
           certain properties.

        .  The Company contributed substantially all of its Greater Washington,
           D.C. third-party management business to Boston Properties Management,
           Inc. (the "Development and Management Company"), a subsidiary of the
           Operating Partnership.

        .  The Operating Partnership entered into a participating lease with ZL
           Hotel LLC. Marriott International, Inc. manages the Company's two
           hotel properties under the Marriott(R) name. Messrs. Zuckerman and
           Linde are the sole member-managers of ZL Hotel LLC and own a 9.8%
           economic interest in ZL Hotel LLC. ZL Hotel Corp. owns the remaining

                                   CONTINUED
       

           90.2% economic interest in ZL Hotel LLC. Certain public charities own
           all the capital stock of ZL Hotel Corp.

        .  The Company, through the Operating Partnership, entered into a $300
           million unsecured credit facility with BankBoston, N.A., as agent
           (the "Unsecured Line of Credit"). The Unsecured Line of Credit is a
           recourse obligation of the Operating Partnership and is guaranteed by
           the Company. The Company intends to use the Unsecured Line of Credit
           principally to fund growth opportunities and for working capital
           purposes. The Company's ability to borrow under the Unsecured Line of
           Credit is subject to the Company's ongoing compliance with a number
           of financial and other covenants.

         . The Operating Partnership utilized $696,236,000 of the proceeds of
           the Offering, together with $54,000,000 under the Unsecured Line of
           Credit, to repay $707,071,000 of mortgage indebtedness ($47,780,000
           of which was paid on July 1, 1997), $28,843,000 of indebtedness due
           to Messrs. Zuckerman and Linde related to development of properties
           in process and $14,322,000 to fund the acquisition of an
           approximately 170,000 square foot office building in Quincy,
           Massachusetts.

        The Properties

        The Company owns a portfolio of 75 commercial real estate properties (74
        and 72 properties at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively)
        (the "Properties") aggregating approximately 11.0 million square feet,
        89% of which was developed or substantially redeveloped by the Company.
        The properties consist of 63 office properties with approximately 7.8
        million net rentable square feet (including seven office properties
        under development containing approximately 810,000 net rentable square
        feet) and approximately 1.3 million additional square feet of structured
        parking for 4,222 vehicles, nine industrial properties with
        approximately 925,000 net rentable square feet, two hotels with a total
        of 833 rooms (consisting of approximately 750,000 square feet), and a
        parking garage with 1,170 spaces (consisting of approximately 330,000
        square feet). In addition, the Company owns, has under contract, or has
        options to acquire six parcels of land totaling 47.4 acres, which will
        support approximately 1,009,000 square feet of development.

2.   Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
     --------------------------------------------------------------------
   
     The consolidated financial statements of the Company include all the
     accounts of the Company, its majority-owned Operating Partnership and
     subsidiaries. The financial statements reflect the properties acquired at
     their historical basis of accounting to the extent of the acquisition of
     interests from the Predecessor's owners who continued as investors. The
     remaining interests acquired for cash from those owners of the Predecessor
     who decided to sell their interests have been accounted for as a purchase
     and the excess of the purchase price over the related historical cost basis
     was allocated to real estate. The combined financial statements of the
     Boston Properties Predecessor Group include interests in properties and the
     third party commercial real estate development, project management and
     property management business of Boston Properties, Inc. The accompanying
     condensed combined financial statements for the Boston Properties
     Predecessor Group have been presented on a combined basis due to the common
     ownership and management; therefore, its

                                   CONTINUED

     combined financial statements are presented for comparative purposes. All
     significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

     The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited; however, the
     financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in
     conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
     Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures
     required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
     statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
     solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of
     the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. The
     results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
     indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year. These
     financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
     prospectus dated June 17, 1997 and the combined financial statements and
     notes thereto of the Boston Properties Predecessor Group included therein.

        Offering Costs

        Underwriting commissions and offering costs incurred in connection with
        the Offering have been reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in
        capital.

        Income Taxes

        The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue
        Code commencing with its taxable period ending December 31, 1997. As a
        result, the Company will generally not be subject to federal income tax
        on its taxable income at corporate rates to the extent it distributes
        annually at least 95% of its taxable income to its shareholders and
        complies with certain other requirements. Accordingly, no provision has
        been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated
        financial statements. Certain subsidiaries are subject to federal and
        state income tax on their taxable income at regular corporate rates.

        Earnings per Share

        Earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number
        of common shares outstanding. The assumed exercise of outstanding stock
        options, using the treasury stock method, is not dilutive and,
        therefore, such amounts are not presented.

3.   Minority Interest in Operating Partnership:
     ------------------------------------------

     Minority interest in the Operating Partnership relates to the interest in 
     the Operating Partnership that is not owned by the Company which, at June
     30, 1997, amounted to 29.34%.

     In conjunction with the formation of the Company, persons contributing
     interests in properties to the Operating Partnership received Units.
     Beginning fourteen months after the completion of the Offering, the
     Operating Partnership will, at the request of any Unitholder, be obligated
     to redeem each Unit held by such Unitholder for, at the option of the
     Operating Partnership, (i) cash equal to the fair market value of one share
     of the Company's common stock at the time of redemption, or (ii) one share
     of the Company's common stock. Such redemptions will cause the Company's
     percentage ownership in the Operating Partnership to increase.


4.   Extinguishment of Indebtedness:
     -------------------------------
   
     Certain mortgage indebtedness aggregating $707,071,000 was repaid in
     conjunction with the Offering. $659,291,000 of this mortgage indebtedness 
     was repaid at June 23, 1997. These repayments, along with the payment of
     certain related prepayment penalties, the write-off of the related
     previously capitalized deferred financing costs and the extinguishment of
     the excess of the mortgage note payable balance over the principal payment
     required for the 599 Lexington Avenue property necessitated by this
     increasing rate loan being accounted for using the effective interest
     method, generated a gain of $7,983,000, (net of minority interest share of
     $3,315,000), which has been reflected as an extraordinary gain to the
     Company in the period ended June 30, 1997.     

     Due to lender requirements, $47,909,000 of the offering proceeds was placed
     in escrow at June 23, 1997 and used to retire $47,780,000 of mortgage
     indebtedness, and related costs on July 1, 1997. These repayments generated
     a loss of $58,000 (net of minority interest share of $24,000) which will be
     reflected as an extraordinary loss in the Statement of Operations of the
     Company for the quarter ended September 30, 1997.

5.   Stock Option and Incentive Plan:
     -------------------------------

     The Company has established a stock option and incentive plan for the
     purpose of attracting and retaining qualified executives and rewarding them
     for superior performance in achieving the Company's business goals and
     enhancing stockholder value. In conjunction with the Offering, the
     Company granted options with respect to 2,290,000 common shares to
     directors, officers and employees. All of such options were issued at an
     exercise price of $25.00. The term of each of such options is 10 years from
     the date of grant. In general, one-third of each of the options granted to
     officers and Mr. Zuckerman are exercisable on each of the third, fourth,
     and fifth anniversary of the date of grant, respectively. 

     One-third of the options granted to employees who are not officers will be
     exercisable on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the date
     of grant, respectively. Other than the options granted to Mr. Zuckerman,
     one-half of the options granted to non-employee directors will be
     exercisable on each of the first and second anniversary of the date of
     grant, respectively.

     As of June 30, 1997, the Company had granted options with respect to
     2,290,000 common shares and an additional 2,464,750 common shares were
     reserved for issuance under the Company's stock option and incentive plan.

statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations include certain forward-looking statements about the Company's
business, revenues, expenditures and operating and capital
requirement. In addition, forward-looking statements may be included in various
other Company documents to be issued in the future and in various oral
statements by Company representatives to security analysts and investors from
time to time. Any such statements are subject to risks that could cause the
actual results or needs to vary materially. The risks and uncertainties
associated with the forward-looking information include the strength of the
commercial office and industrial real estate markets in which the Company
operates, competitive market conditions, general economic growth, interest rates
and capital market conditions. The Company discusses such risks in detail in its
prospectus dated June 17, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 1997 to the six months ended 
June 30, 1996

For discussion purposes, the results of operations for the six months ended June
30, 1997 combine the operating results of the Boston Properties Predecessor
Group for the period January 1, 1997 to June 22, 1997 and the operating results
of the Company for the period June 23, 1997 to June 30, 1997. The results of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 represent solely the operating
results of the Predecessor. Consequently, the comparison of the periods provides
only limited information regarding the operations of the Company.

Rental revenue decreased $0.5 million or 0.5% to $98.8 million from $99.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the six months ended
June 30, 1996. Rental revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1996 includes a
$7.5 million non-recurring lease termination fee received from a tenant at the
599 Lexington Avenue property. Rental revenue for the six months ended June 30,
1997 includes rental revenue from the hotel leases for the eight-day period June
23, 1997 to June 30, 1997.

Hotel operating revenue increased $1.3 million or 4.4% to $31.2 million from
$29.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the six months
ended June 30, 1996. Hotel operating revenue for the six months ended June 30,
1997 only includes revenue from January 1, 1997 to June 22, 1997 as a result of
the Operating Partnership entering into a participating lease at the time of the
Offering to operate the hotel properties with ZL Hotel LLC.

Third party management and development fee income increased $637,000 or 20.1% to
$3.8 million from $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared
to the six months ended June 30, 1996 primarily as a result of increased fees on
existing projects.

Interest income decreased $200,000 or 13% to $1.4 million from $1.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the six months ended June 30,
1996, primarily due to a reduction in cash reserves partially offset by interest
income earned on net proceeds of the Offering for the eight-day period of June
23, 1997 to June 30, 1997.

Property expenses decreased $1.1 million or 3.6% to $28.0 million from $29.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the six months ended
June 30, 1996 primarily as a result of reductions in real estate taxes,
utilities, and snow removal costs.

Hotel operating expenses increased $686,000 or 3.2% to $22.0 million from $21.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the six months ended
June 30, 1996. Hotel expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997 only

Interest expense increased $220,000 or 0.4% to $54.7 million from $54.5 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and the six months ended June 30, 1996.
An increase in interest expense due to increased indebtedness for the period
January 1, 1997 to June 22, 1997 was offset by a reduction in interest expense
for the eight-day period June 23, 1997 to June 30, 1997 as a result of the
payoff of mortgage indebtedness.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $123,000 or 0.7% to $17.9
million from $17.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to
the six months ended June 30, 1996.

As a result of the foregoing, net income before extraordinary items and minority
interests increased $1.1 million to $7.2 million from $6.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996.

June 30, 1996:

For discussion purposes, the results of operations for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 combine the operating results of the Boston Properties Predecessor
Group for the period April 1, 1997 to June 22, 1997 and the operating results of
the Company for the period June 23, 1997 to June 30, 1997. The results of
operations for the three months ended June 30, 1996 represent solely the
operating results of the Predecessor. Consequently, the comparison of the
periods provides only limited information regarding the operations of the
Company.

Rental revenue increased $4.0 million or 8.7% to $50.4 million from $46.4 
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the three months 
ended June 30, 1996. The increase is due to increased occupancy at 91 Hartwell 
Avenue and Democracy Center. Also, rental revenue for the three months ended 
June 30, 1997 includes rental revenue from the hotel leases for the eight day 
period June 23, 1997 to June 30, 1997.

Hotel operating revenue increased $17,000 or less than 0.1% at approximately
$18.4 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 1997 and the three

1997 only includes revenue from January 1, 1997 to June 22, 1997.

to the three months ended June 30, 1996 primarily as a result of increased fees
on existing projects.

Interest income increased $96,000 or 11.3% to $948,000 from $852,000 for the 
three months ended June 30,1997 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996
primarily due to interest income earned on net proceeds of the Offering for the 
period June 23, 1997 to June 30, 1997 partially offset by a reduction in cash 
reserves.

Property expenses decreased $759,000 or 5.1% to $14.0 million from $14.8 million
for the three months ended June 30,1997 compared to the three months ended June
30, 1996 primarily as a result of reductions in real estate taxes and utilities.

Hotel operating expenses decreased $463,000 or 3.7% to $12.0 million from $12.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the three months

for the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the three months ended June
30, 1996. An increase in interest expense due to increased indebtedness for the 
period January 1, 1997 to June 22, 1997 was partially offset by a reduction in 
interest expense for the eight day period June 23, 1997 to June 30, 1997 as a 
result of the payoff of mortgage indebtedness.

Depreciation and amortization expense remained unchanged at $9.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996.

As a result of the foregoing, net income before extraordinary items and 
minority interest increased $5.7 million to $6.8 million from $1.1 million for 
the three months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the three months ended June 30,
1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Upon completion of the Offering, the Company received approximately $839.2
million in net proceeds. The Company used these funds as follows: (i)
approximately $707.1 million to repay certain mortgage indebtedness; (ii)
approximately $2.7 million for related prepayment penalties; (iii) ($47.8
million of which was paid on July 1,1997) approximately $2.7 million for other
related prepayment costs; (iv) approximately $10.4 million to pay transfer
taxes; (v) approximately $1.6 million to establish the Unsecured Line of Credit.

The Company closed on the $300 million Unsecured Line of Credit with BankBoston,
N.A., as agent. Upon completion of the Offering, $54.0 million was drawn on the
Unsecured Line of Credit and was used as follows: (i) $28.8 million to repay
notes due Messrs. Zuckerman and Linde (the "Development Loan") in respect of
loans advanced by them to the entities that, prior to the Offering, owned the
Development Properties and certain parcels of land, to the fund the development
of the Development Properties and the acquisition of such parcels of land; and
(ii) approximately $14.3 million (net of $6.9 million of assumed debt) was used
to acquire the Newport Office Park property.

The Unsecured Line of Credit, at the Company's election, bears interest at a
floating rate based on a spread over LIBOR ranging from 90 basis points to 110
basis points, depending upon the Company's applicable leverage ratio, or the
Line of Credit Bank's prime rate. The Company's ability to borrow under the
Unsecured Line of Credit is subject to the Company's ongoing compliance with a
number of financial and other covenants. The Unsecured Line of Credit requires:
the Company to maintain a ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered
property value of not more than 60%; that the unencumbered properties must
generate sufficient net operating income to maintain a debt service coverage
ratio of at least 1.4 to 1; a total indebtedness to total asset value ratio of
not more than 55%; that the ratio of EBITDA to debt service plus estimated
capital expenditures and preferred dividends be at least 1.75 to 1; and certain
other customary covenants and performance requirements.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally
through its initial working capital and net cash provided by operations. The
Company's operating properties and hotels require periodic investments of
capital for tenant-related capital expenditures and for general capital
improvements. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company's recurring
capital expenditures totaled $7.3 million.

The Company expects to meet its long-term liquidity requirements for the funding
of property development, property acquisitions and other non-recurring capital
improvements through long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness (including the
Unsecured Line of Credit) and the issuance of additional equity securities of
the Company.

The Company will have commitments to fund to completion, development projects
that are currently in process. Commitments under these arrangements totaled
$35 million as of June 30, 1997. The Company expects to fund these commitments
initially using the Unsecured Line of Credit. In addition, the Company has
options to acquire land that require minimum deposits that the Company will fund
using the Unsecured Line of Credit.

Funds from Operations

Management believes Funds from Operations is helpful to investors as a measure 
of the performance of an equity REIT because, along with cash flows from 
operating activities, financing activities and investing activities, it provides
investors with an understanding of the ability of the Company to incur and 
service debt and make capital expenditures. The Company computes Funds from 
Operations in accordance with standards established by the White Paper on Funds 
from Operations approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in 1995, which may 
differ from the methodology for calculating Funds from Operations utilized by 
other equity REITs, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
The White Paper defines Funds from Operations as net income (loss) (computed in
accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and
sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and
after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Further,
Funds from Operations does not represent amounts available for management's
discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt
service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. Funds from
Operations should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined
in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company's financial performance
or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP)
as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available
to fund the Company's cash needs, including its ability to make distributions.
The Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the
combined historical operating results of the Boston Properties Predecessor Group
and the Company, Funds from Operations should be examined in conjunction with
net income as presented in the consolidated and combined financial statements.

The following table presents the Company's Funds from Operations for the period
from June 23, 1997 to June 30, 1997 and for the pro forma three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1997:

Inflation

The majority of the Company's tenant leases require tenants to pay most
operating expenses, including real estate taxes and insurance, and increases in
common area maintenance expenses, which reduces the Company's exposure to
increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
