      INVESTMENT SECTOR

      Business-Class Hotel Properties

      Because of Crescent's status as a real estate investment trust for
federal income tax purposes, it does not operate the business-class
hotel properties and has leased all of them, except the Omni Austin
Hotel in Austin, Texas, to Crescent Operating, Inc. pursuant to
long-term leases. The Omni Austin Hotel is leased, pursuant to a
separate long-term lease, to HCD Austin Corporation. As previously
announced, Crescent has entered into an agreement to purchase the
long-term leases from Crescent Operating, Inc. in the fall of 2001.

      Same-Store Rental Income Growth and Operating Statistics:

      The following table shows same-store rental income growth for the
four business-class hotel properties owned during these periods. The
