EARNINGS OUTLOOK

Crescent addresses earnings guidance in its earnings conference calls and provides documentation of its quarterly supplemental operating and financial data reports. Refer to the following paragraphs for details about accessing today's conference call, presentation, and supplemental operating and financial data report.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Funds from operations is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measurement used in the real estate industry to measure and compare the operating performance of real estate companies, although those companies may calculate funds from operations in different ways. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines funds from operations as Net Income (Loss) determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles The standard accounting rules, regulations, and procedures used by companies in maintaining their financial records.

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) provide companies and accountants with a consistent set of guidelines that cover both broad accounting

 operating property, excluding extraordinary items (determined by GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and including the impact of adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Crescent's FFO, as adjusted, follows the NAREIT definition, but is adjusted to exclude the impact of impairment charges and debt extinguishment charges related to the sale of real estate assets. Crescent provides this additional calculation of FFO, as adjusted, to exclude these charges, because management utilizes it in making operating decisions and assessing performance, and to assist investors in assessing the operating performance of Crescent. A reconciliation of Crescent's FFO before and after such adjustments to GAAP net income is included in the financial statements accompanying this press release and in the "First Quarter 2006 Supplemental Operating and Financial Data" located on Crescent's website. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income.

(a) Extinguishment of debt directly related to the sale of real estate
    assets. An additional $0.4 million for the first quarter 2005 of
    extinguishment of debt that is not related to the sale of real
    estate assets is included in funds from operations available to
    common shareholders.

(b) Funds from operations is a supplemental non-GAAP financial
    measurement used in the real estate industry to measure and
    compare the operating performance of real estate companies,
    although those companies may calculate funds from operations in
    different ways. The National Association of Real Estate Investment
    Trusts ("NAREIT") defines funds from operations as Net Income
    (Loss) determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of
    depreciable operating property, excluding extraordinary items
    (determined by GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization of
    real estate assets, and including the impact of adjustments for
    unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
    Crescent's FFO, as adjusted, follows the NAREIT definition, but is
    adjusted to exclude the impact of impairment charges and debt
    extinguishment charges related to the sale of real estate assets.
    Crescent provides this additional calculation of FFO, as adjusted,
    to exclude these charges because management utilizes it in making
    operating decisions and assessing performance, and to assist
    investors in assessing the operating performance of Crescent. FFO
    should not be considered an alternative to net income.

(c) Includes income from investment land sales, net, interest and
    other income, extinguishment of debt, income/loss from other
    unconsolidated companies, other expenses, depreciation and
    amortization of non-real estate assets, and amortization of
    deferred financing costs.
