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 (i) exclude the impact of impairment charges and debt extinguishment charges related to the sale of real estate assets and (ii) include the impact of gains on sale of developed operating properties and promoted interests. Crescent provides this additional calculation of FFO, as adjusted, 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 "Second 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 expense directly related to real estate
    assets. An additional $0.9 million for the second quarter 2005 and
    $1.3 million for year-to-date 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 (i) exclude the impact of impairment charges and debt
    extinguishment charges related to the sale of real estate assets
    and (ii) include gains on sale of developed operating properties
    and promoted interests. Crescent provides this additional
    calculation of FFO, as adjusted, 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, 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.
