EOP is exploring the sale of as much as $2.0 billion to $2.5 billion of additional assets over the course of the next six to 12 months. Dispositions under consideration include certain assets in core markets such as Chicago, Denver Denver, city (1990 pop. 467,610), alt. 5,280 ft (1,609 m), state capital, coextensive with Denver co., N central Colo., on a plateau at the foot of the Front Range of the Rocky Mts., along the South Platte River where Cherry Creek meets it; inc. 1861.  and Northern California Northern California, sometimes referred to as NorCal, is the northern portion of the U.S. state of California.

While the company expects 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 and perhaps subsequent quarters.

Year-to-date as of July July: see month.  31, 2006, EOP completed $1.1 billion in investment activity, acquiring 1.6 million square feet for $690.2 million, and selling 2.7 million square feet of office space and one land parcel for $433.9 million. The net gain on sales of real estate was $117.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

(a) FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable
    GAAP measure is net income (loss), to which it is reconciled. See
    definition below.

(b) The loss for the three months ended June 30, 2006 represents an
    adjustment to the gain previously recorded on properties sold in
    prior periods.

(c) FFO for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 includes
    $0.2 million and $367.0 million, respectively, of non-cash charges
    relating to properties sold and properties held for sale, which is
    equivalent to $0.00 and $0.81 per share on a diluted basis,
    respectively. These charges are not added back to net income
    (loss) when calculating FFO.


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. Equity
Office believes that FFO is helpful to investors as one of several
measures of the performance of an equity REIT. Equity Office further
believes 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. Equity Office
computes FFO in accordance with its 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 Equity Office does. 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
Equity Office's financial performance, or to cash flow from operating
activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of its
liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund its cash
needs, including its ability to make cash distributions.

(a) FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable
    GAAP measure is net income (loss), to which it is reconciled. See
    definition below.

(b) The loss for the six months ended June 30, 2006 represents an
    adjustment to the gain previously recorded on properties sold in
    prior periods.

(c) FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 includes $1.2
    million and $380.6 million, respectively, of non-cash charges
    relating to properties sold and properties held for sale, which is
    equivalent to $0.00 and $0.84 per share on a diluted basis,
    respectively. These charges are not added back to net income
    (loss) when calculating FFO.
