     1997, the Company distributed shares of its Common Stock to shareholders of
     Crescent REIT and Unit holders of Crescent Operating Partnership of record
     on May 30, 1997. Each holder of 10 shares of common stock of Crescent
     REIT received one share of Crescent Common Stock and each holder of five
     Units (or equivalent partnership interest) of Crescent Operating 
     Partnership received one share of Crescent Common Stock.

     On June 12, 1997, Crescent's registration statement was declared effective
     and Crescent became a public company. The shares of Crescent were accepted
     for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board and began trading on a when-issued
     basis on June 13, 1997.

2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
     prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
     interim financial information and with the instructions to the Form 10-Q
     and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
     the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
     principles for complete financial statements. In management's opinion, all
     adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered
     necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited interim financial
     statements have been included. Operating results for interim periods
     reflected are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
     expected for a full fiscal year. These financial statements and notes
     should be read in conjunction with Crescent's Form S-1, dated June 12,
     1997.

     Moody-Day Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crescent, is
     consolidated and the Company's 1.21% investment in Hicks Muse Tate & Furst
     Equity Fund II, LP ("Hicks-Muse") is shown at cost. Crescent's 50% interest
     in Charter Behavioral Health Systems, LLC ("CBHS") is shown on the equity
     method of accounting.

     The financial statements were prepared on the basis that the "Predecessor"
     is a combination of Moody-Day, Inc. and Hicks-Muse (collectively, the
     "Carter Crowley Asset Group"). As the Company did not have any activities
     until May 9, 1997, the comparative data relating to 1996 and the period
     prior to May 9, 1997 is only with regard to the Predecessor. The assets of
     Carter Crowley Asset Group were adjusted to reflect the purchase price
     allocation.

3.   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

     In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement
     for Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("EPS")
     ("SFAS 128") which supersedes APB No. 15 for periods ending after December
     15, 1997. SFAS 128 specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure
     requirements for earnings per share. Primary EPS and Fully Diluted EPS are
     replaced by Basic EPS and Diluted EPS, respectively. Basic EPS, unlike
     Primary EPS, excludes all dilution while Diluted EPS, like Fully Diluted
     EPS, reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or
     other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into
     common shares. The Company does not expect the effect of its adoption of
     SFAS 128 to be material.

4.  INDEBTEDNESS

     Crescent Operating Partnership agreed to lend Crescent approximately $35.9
     million pursuant to a five-year term loan ("Term Loan"). At June 30, 1997,
     the Company has drawn $35.8 million against this Term Loan and repaid $9.9
     million. The Term Loan is a recourse loan that is secured, to the extent
     not prohibited by pre-existing arrangements, by a first lien on the assets
     owned by Crescent now or in the future (other than assets of Crescent
     acquired after June 30, 1997, which may be pledged in the future to secure
     non-recourse loans to Crescent). The Term Loan bears interest at the rate
     of 12% per annum, compounded annually, and is payable quarterly in an
     amount equal to the lesser of (i) the net cash flow for the preceding
     quarter and (ii) the quarterly amount of principal due, together with
     interest accrued on the loan. Net cash flow will be computed by subtracting
     the total costs incurred by Crescent from its gross receipts. The Term Loan
     will mature on May 8, 2002. The Company also has obtained from Crescent
     Operating Partnership a $20.4 million line of credit ("Line of Credit")
     which bears interest at the same rate as the Term Loan. The Line of Credit
     is payable on an interest-only basis during its term, which expires on the
     later of (i) May 21, 2002 or (ii) five years after the last draw under the
     Line of Credit. Draws may be made under the Line of Credit until June 22,
     2002. The Line of Credit is a recourse obligation and amounts outstanding
     thereunder are or will be secured, to the extent not prohibited by
     pre-existing arrangements, by a first lien on the assets owned by Crescent
     now or in the future (other than assets of Crescent acquired after June 30,
     1997, which may be pledged in the future to secure non-recourse loans to
     Crescent). As of June 30, 1997, no amounts were outstanding under the Line
     of Credit.


5.   SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     COMMON STOCK

     The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 10 million shares of
     preferred stock, par value $.01 per share and 22.5 million shares of
     Common Stock, par value $.01 per share. At June 30, 1997, there were
     11,025,547 shares of Common Stock outstanding.


     PREFERRED SHARE PURCHASE RIGHTS

     The Board of Directors has adopted a rights plan that provides that each
     holder of Common Stock also receives a right to purchase from the Company
     one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Preferred Stock, par value
     $.01, of the Company at a price of $5 per share, subject to adjustment.
     These rights can only be exercised in certain events and are intended to
     provide the Company certain anti-takeover protection. The Company has
     reserved 225,000 shares of series A junior preferred stock for this plan.


     WARRANTS

     The Company, in conjunction with the acquisition of its 50% interest in
     CBHS, has issued warrants ("Warrants") to acquire up to 2.5% of the
     Company's Common Stock outstanding (including the shares covered by the
     Warrants) to Magellan Health Services, Inc. ("Magellan") on June 16, 1997 
     at a price to be determined by multiplying a factor of 1.25% by the average
     of the daily high and low sales prices of the Company's Common Stock for
     each trading day, beginning on the trading day immediately following June
     17, 1997, and ending 30 consecutive trading days thereafter. As of July 30,
     1997, the exercise price of the Warrants was determined to be $18.29.

6.  ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURE ACTIVITIES

     On May 9, 1997, Crescent acquired (i) all of the stock in Moody-Day, Inc.,
     a construction equipment sales, leasing and servicing company, (ii) a 1.21%
     interest in Hicks-Muse, a private venture capital fund and (iii) a 12.38%
     interest in Dallas Basketball Limited, a partnership that holds the
     National Basketball Association franchise for the Dallas Mavericks. The
     purchase price was approximately $4.1 million for Moody-Day, Inc.,
     approximately $9.6 million for the Hicks-Muse interest and approximately
     $12.4 million for the interest in the Dallas Basketball partnership. The
     interest in the Dallas Basketball partnership was subsequently sold for
     approximately $12.55 million.

     On June 17, 1997, Crescent acquired for $7.5 million a 50% member 
     interest in CHBS and issued Warrants to purchase up to 2.5% of Crescent
     Common Stock. CHBS is a newly formed limited liability company which
     operates 92 behavioral healthcare facilities (See Footnote 7.). Crescent
     also purchased as part of this acquisition warrants to acquire 1,283,311
     shares of Magellan common stock for $12.5 million. The exercise price of
     the Warrants is $30 per share, exercisable in varying increments beginning
     on May 31, 1998 and ending on May 31, 2009.

10.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

BACKGROUND

     On July 31, 1997, the Company, through its newly-formed subsidiary, WOCOI
     Investment Company, acquired for approximately $425,000, a 42.5% general
     partner interest in The Woodlands Operating Company, L.P. ("Woodlands
     Operating"). The acquisition was part of a larger transaction (the
     "Transaction"), pursuant to which Crescent REIT and certain of its
     subsidiaries, and certain Morgan Stanley funds (the "Morgan Stanley
     Group") acquired The Woodlands Corporation. The purchase price of the
     Company's interest in Woodlands Operating was determined by mutual
     agreement of the parties to the Transaction. WOCOI Investment Company will
     serve as the managing general partner of Woodlands Operating.

     The Woodlands Corporation is the principal owner, developer and operator
     of The Woodlands, an approximately 27,000 acre master-planned residential
     and commercial community located approximately 27 miles north of Houston,
     Texas. The Woodlands includes a shopping mall, retail centers, office
     buildings, a Conference Center and Country Club and other amenities. The
     Company obtained the opportunity to purchase its interest in Woodlands
     Operating from Crescent pursuant to the Intercompany Agreement between the
     Company and Crescent Operating Partnership. The Intercompany Agreement
     gives the Company the right of first refusal to become a lessee of real
     property acquired by Crescent Operating Partnership under certain
     circumstances, and permits Crescent Operating Partnership to offer the
     Company other investment opportunities, in Crescent Operating
     Partnership's discretion.

WOODLANDS OPERATING AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

     Woodlands Operating was formed to provide management, advisory,
     landscaping and maintenance services to entities affiliated with the
     Company and Crescent as well as to third parties. Pursuant to the terms of
     five written service agreements, Woodlands Operating will perform general
     management, landscaping and maintenance, construction, design, sales,
     promotional and other marketing services for the properties in which
     Crescent acquired a direct or indirect interest as a result of the
     Transaction. In addition, Woodlands Operating will monitor certain of the
     real estate investments of, and provide advice regarding real estate and
     development issues to, such entities. As compensation for its management
     and advisory services, Woodlands Operating will be paid a monthly advisory
     fee in an amount equal to 3% of all costs and expenses incurred by
     Woodlands Operating in providing such services. As compensation for its
     landscaping and maintenance services, Woodlands Operating will receive a
     monthly fee in an amount equal to 5% of the cost per month of performing
     the required landscaping and maintenance services. Each service agreement
     provides for an initial term of at least 12 months (subject to earlier
     termination under certain circumstances) and will be renewed
     automatically, unless terminated by either party upon giving prior notice
     as specified in each agreement.

                            CRESCENT OPERATING, INC.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

STRATEGY

     Crescent intends to manage its assets, which as of June 30, 1997 consisted
     of (i) Moody Day, Inc. ("Moody-Day"), a construction equipment sales,
     leasing and service company, (ii) a 1.21% limited partner interest in Hicks
     Muste Tate & Furst Equity Fund II, LP ("Hicks-Muse"), a private venture
     capital fund (together with Moody Day, the "Carter Crowley Asset Group")
     and (iii) a 50% member interest in Charter Behavioral Health Systems, LLC
     ("CBHS"), a limited liability company which operates 92 healthcare
     facilities (collectively, the "Assets"), enter into certain of the
     businesses to which the Assets relate and pursue additional opportunities.
     Crescent believes that it has, or will have access to, sufficient liquidity
     and management expertise to manage the assets successfully.

     Crescent's investment and operating strategies are to acquire and operate a
     complementary group of businesses which are aligned with certain of the
     investments and businesses of Crescent REIT. To pursue additional
     opportunities, Crescent plans to capitalize on its relationship with
     Crescent REIT and Crescent REIT's ability to structure transactions
     creatively. Crescent also plans to determine whether it could provide to
     Crescent REIT certain lessee and operator functions currently provided by
     others to Crescent REIT. In this regard, it plans to negotiate to acquire
     or replace the tenants of certain hotels and resorts owned by Crescent REIT
     and leased to third parties. As of June 30, 1997, no such tenants have been
     acquired or replaced, however, and there is no assurance that such
     agreements will be reached. The additional opportunities Crescent may
     pursue are expected to be varied and may be unrelated to any business in
     which Crescent is then engaged or may be engaged at any future date.
     Crescent also expects that, in the future, it may sell existing assets that
     are inconsistent with its long-term strategies. To the extent any such
     sales are made at a time when Crescent REIT has outstanding indebtedness,
     Crescent anticipates that it will use the proceeds of any such sales of
     assets to reduce the amount of any such indebtedness.

     Crescent also intends to pursue additional and similar opportunities with
     Crescent REIT and others in the future. The distribution of Crescent Common
     Stock will provide Crescent shareholders and the Limited Partners who
     received Common Stock in connection with the initial distribution in June
     1997 and who retain their Crescent REIT common shares with the opportunity
     to participate in the benefits both of the real estate operations of
     Crescent REIT (including ownership of real property) and of the lease of
     certain of such assets and the ownership of other non-real estate assets.
     There can be no assurance, however, that any such opportunities will arise
     in the future. 

THE INTERCOMPANY AGREEMENT

     Crescent and Crescent Operating Partnership have entered into the
     Intercompany Agreement to provide each other with rights to participate in
     certain transactions. The Intercompany Agreement provides, subject to
     certain terms, that Crescent Operating Partnership will provide Crescent
     with a right of first refusal to become the lessee of any real property
     acquired by Crescent Operating Partnership if Crescent Operating
     Partnership determines that, consistent with Crescent REIT's status as a
     REIT, it is required to enter into a "master" lease arrangement, provided
     that Crescent and Crescent Operating Partnership negotiate a mutually
     satisfactory lease arrangement and Crescent Operating Partnership
     determines, in its sole discretion, that Crescent is qualified to be the
     lessee. For example, Crescent REIT generally would be required, consistent
     with its status as a REIT, to enter into a master lease arrangement as to
     hotels and behavioral healthcare facilities. In general, a master lease
     arrangement is an arrangement pursuant to which an entire property or
     project (or a group of related properties or projects) is leased to a
     single lessee. As to opportunities for Crescent to become the lessee of any
     assets under a master lease arrangement, the Intercompany Agreement
     provides that Crescent Operating Partnership must provide Crescent with
     written notice of the lessee opportunity. During the 30 days following such
     notice, Crescent has a right of first refusal with regard to the offer to
     become a lessee and the right to negotiate with Crescent Operating
     Partnership on an exclusive basis regarding the terms and conditions of the
     lease. If a mutually satisfactory agreement cannot be reached within the
     30-day period (or such longer period to which Crescent and Crescent
     Operating Partnership may agree), Crescent Operating Partnership may offer
     the opportunity to others for a period of one year thereafter before it
     must again offer the 






                                      10
<PAGE>   12

     opportunity to Crescent in accordance with the procedures specified above.
     Crescent Operating Partnership may, in its discretion, offer any
     investment opportunity other than a lessee opportunity to Crescent , upon
     such notice and other terms as Crescent Operating Partnership may
     determine.

     Under the Intercompany Agreement, Crescent has agreed not to acquire or
     make (i) investments in real estate which, for purposes of the
     Intercompany Agreement, includes the provision of services related to real
     estate and investment in hotel properties, real estate mortgages, real
     estate derivatives or entities that invest in real estate assets or (ii)
     any other investments that may be structured in a manner that qualifies
     under the federal income tax requirements applicable to REITs unless it
     has provided written notice to Crescent Operating Partnership of the
     material terms and conditions of the acquisition or investment
     opportunity, and Crescent Operating Partnership has determined not to
     pursue such acquisitions or investments either by providing written notice
     to Crescent rejecting the opportunity within 10 days from the date of
     receipt of notice of the opportunity or by allowing such 10-day period to
     lapse. Crescent also has agreed to assist Crescent Operating Partnership
     in structuring and consummating any such acquisition or investment which
     Crescent Operating Partnership elects to pursue, on terms determined by
     Crescent Operating Partnership. In addition, Crescent has agreed to notify
     Crescent Operating Partnership of, and make available to Crescent
     Operating Partnership, investment opportunities developed by Crescent or
     of which Crescent becomes aware but is unable or unwilling to pursue.

HISTORICAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     On May 9, 1997, the Company acquired the Carter Crowley Asset Group. The
     Company's financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the
     "Predecessor" consists of the Carter Crowley Asset Group. As the Company
     did not have any activities until May 9, 1997, the comparative data
     relating to 1996 and the period prior to May 9, 1997 is only with regard to
     the Predecessor.       

     Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 
     1996. Total revenues of the Company increased approximately $600,000,
     or 24.1% to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared
     with $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. This increase
     was due to an increase in customer construction projects and a
     corresponding increase in demand for Moody-Day equipment and services, an
     increase in the amount of equipment Moody-Day had available to meet sale
     and rental demand and the favorable introduction by Moody-Day of new lines
     of equipment available for sale and rental.

     Total cost of sales for the Company increased approximately $50,000, or
     2.5%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared
     with $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. This increase
     is due primarily to increase in demand for Moody-Day equipment offset by 
     lower depreciation of new and used equipment as a result of the purchase
     price allocation.

     Selling, general and administrative and other expense for the Company
     increased approximately $158,000, or 33.2%, in the aggregate, due
     primarily to increases in interest expense attributable to increases in
     corporate borrowing and in general corporate expenses.

     Other expenses of the Company increased approximately $502,000 for the
     three months ended June 30, 1997, compared with June 30, 1996, due
     primarily to a $260,000 increase in interest expense resulting from an
     increase in corporate borrowings, a $399,000 equity loss in CBHS, and a
     $150,000 gain on sale of partnership.  

     Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1996.
     Total revenues of the Company increased approximately $900,000 or 16%,
     to $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared with $5.0
     million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The increase is primarily
     the result of an increase in customer construction projects and a
     corresponding increase in demand for Moody-Day's equipment and services,
     an increase in the amount of equipment Moody-Day had available to meet
     sale and rental demand and the favorable introduction by Moody-Day of new
     lines of equipment available for sale and rental.

     Total cost of sales for the Company increased approximately $300,000, or
     7.3%, to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared
     with $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. This increase is
     due primarily to an increase in depreciation expense as a result of
     inventory purchased by Moody-Day to meet customer demand for rental
     equipment and an increase in cost of sales as a result of the new
     equipment lines available for sale.

     Selling, general and administrative expense of the Company increased
     approximately $200,000, or 22.2%, to $1.1 million for the year ended June
     30, 1997, compared with $900,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996,
     due to increases in general corporate expenses and sales commissions.

     Other expenses of the Company increased approximately $600,000, for the
     six months ended June 30, 1997, compared with the six months ended June
     30, 1996 due primarily to a $300,000 increase in interest expense
     resulting from an increase in corporate borrowings.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     In connection with the formation and capitalization of Crescent, Crescent
     has received approximately $14.1 million in cash from Crescent Operating
     Partnership and Crescent Operating Partnership agreed to lend Crescent
     approximately $35.9 million pursuant to a five-year term loan
     (approximately $35.8 million of which was funded through June 30, 1997 and
     approximately $25.9 million of which was outstanding as of such date). The
     loan is a recourse loan that is or will be secured, to the extent not
     prohibited by pre-existing arrangements, by a first lien on the investments
     and all other assets owned by Crescent now or in the future (other than
     assets of Crescent acquired after June 30, 1997, which may be pledged in
     the future to secure non-recourse loans to Crescent). The loan bears
     interest at the rate of 12% per annum, compounded annually, and is payable
     quarterly in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the net cash flow for the
     preceding quarter and (ii) the quarterly amount of principal due, together
     with interest accrued on the loan. Net cash flow will be computed by
     subtracting the total costs incurred by Crescent from its gross receipts.
     The loan will mature on May 8, 2002. The Company also has obtained a $20.4
     million line of credit which bears interest at the same rate as the term
     loan. The line of credit is payable on an interest-only basis during its
     term, which expires on the later of (i) May 21, 2002 or (ii) five years
     after the last draw under the line of credit. Draws may be made under the
     line of credit until June 22, 2002. The line of credit is a recourse
     obligation and amounts outstanding thereunder are or will be secured, to
     the extent not prohibited by pre-existing arrangements, by a first lien on
     the investments and all other assets owned by Crescent now or in the future
     (other than assets of Crescent acquired after June 30, 1997, which may be
     pledged in the future to secure non-recourse loans to Crescent). As of June
     30, 1997, no amounts were outstanding under the line of credit.

     Approximately $12.6 million in cash and the proceeds of approximately
     $15.3 million of loans were used to acquire the Carter-Crowley Assets and
     the 12.38% limited partner interest in the partnership that owns the
     Dallas Mavericks. The remaining approximately $1.5 million previously
     funded in the form of cash, together with the remaining approximately
     $20.6 million advanced in the form of loans, was used both to acquire, and
     make an additional contribution relating to, the CBHS Interest and to
     acquire the warrants to acquire shares of Magellan common stock for an
     aggregate of approximately $20.0 million, and to fund an obligation of
     Moody-Day to purchase construction equipment for approximately $2.1
     million. The line of credit will be used to support future funding
     obligations associated with these investments (consisting of approximately
     $2.1 million relating to Crescent's investment in Hicks-Muse and
     approximately $17.5 million relating to the CBHS Interest) and other cash
     requirements.

     On June 11, 1997, Crescent sold the 12.38% limited partner interest in the
     partnership that owns the Dallas Mavericks to an affiliated entity and
     received proceeds from the sale in the amount of approximately $12.55
     million. The limited partner interest was originally purchased by Crescent
     for approximately $12.4 million and the sale resulted in a gain to Crescent
     of approximately $.15 million. Of the approximately $12.55 million proceeds
     from the sale of the limited partner interest, Crescent used approximately
     $9.9 million to repay outstanding principal and $.2 million to pay accrued
     and unpaid interest on the term loan from Crescent Operating Partnership.
     Additionally, Crescent paid a dividend of approximately $2.4 million to
     Crescent Operating Partnership, its sole stockholder at that time.

PRO FORMA CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company currently has no commitments to purchase any assets. Crescent
has no external sources of financing except as described above in "Liquidity and
Capital Resources." The purchase of additional assets will be contingent upon
securing adequate funding on terms acceptable to the Company. The Company is not
aware of any material unfavorable trends in either capital resources or the
outlook for long-term cash generation, nor does it expect any material change in
the availability and relative cost of such capital resources.


CHARTER BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SYSTEMS, LLC

     The Company acquired its 50% member interest in CBHS on June 17, 1997.
     Summarized below are operating statistics for the quarter ended June 30,
     1997.

</TABLE>

     The Facilities' hospital business is seasonal in nature, with a reduced
     demand of certain services generally occurring in the first fiscal quarter
     around major holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, and during the
     summer months comprising the Company's third quarter. CBHS's business is
     also subject to general economic conditions and other factors.
     Accordingly, the results of operations for the interim periods are not
     necessarily indicative of the actual results expected for the year.

     The Facilities provide inpatient and outpatient behavioral healthcare
     services. The inpatient treatment includes acute and residential programs
     serving adults, adolescents and children. Third party payers include
     governmental, commercial, managed care and private payers. The Facilities
     are experiencing a shift in payer mix to managed care payers from other
     payers. The Company on August 1, 1997, advanced CBHS $10 million pursuant
     to its agreement to provide working capital. This loan bears interest at
     10% per annum.

BACKGROUND

     On July 31, 1997, the Company, through its newly-formed subsidiary, WOCOI
     Investment Company, acquired for approximately $425,000, a 42.5% general
     partner interest in The Woodlands Operating Company, L.P. ("Woodlands
     Operating"). The acquisition was part of a larger transaction (the
     "Transaction"), pursuant to which Crescent REIT and certain of its
     subsidiaries, and certain Morgan Stanley funds (the "Morgan Stanley
     Group") acquired The Woodlands Corporation. The purchase price of the
     Company's interest in Woodlands Operating was determined by mutual
     agreement of the parties to the Transaction. WOCOI Investment Company will
     serve as the managing general partner of Woodlands Operating.

     The Woodlands Corporation is the principal owner, developer and operator
     of The Woodlands, an approximately 27,000 acre master-planned residential
     and commercial community located approximately 27 miles north of Houston,
     Texas. The Woodlands includes a shopping mall, retail centers, office
     buildings, a Conference Center and Country Club and other amenities. The
     Company obtained the opportunity to purchase its interest in Woodlands
     Operating from Crescent pursuant to the Intercompany Agreement between the
     Company and Crescent Operating Partnership. The Intercompany Agreement
     gives the Company the right of first refusal to become a lessee of real
     property acquired by Crescent Operating Partnership under certain
     circumstances, and permits Crescent Operating Partnership to offer the
     Company other investment opportunities, in Crescent Operating
     Partnership's discretion.

WOODLANDS OPERATING AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

     Woodlands Operating was formed to provide management, advisory,
     landscaping and maintenance services to entities affiliated with the
     Company and Crescent as well as to third parties. Pursuant to the terms of
     five written service agreements, Woodlands Operating will perform general
     management, landscaping and maintenance, construction, design, sales,
     promotional and other marketing services for the properties in which
     Crescent acquired a direct or indirect interest as a result of the
     Transaction. In addition, Woodlands Operating will monitor certain of the
     real estate investments of, and provide advice regarding real estate and
     development issues to, such entities. As compensation for its management
     and advisory services, Woodlands Operating will be paid a monthly advisory
     fee in an amount equal to 3% of all costs and expenses incurred by
     Woodlands Operating in providing such services. As compensation for its
     landscaping and maintenance services, Woodlands Operating will receive a
     monthly fee in an amount equal to 5% of the cost per month of performing
     the required landscaping and maintenance services. Each service agreement
     provides for an initial term of at least 12 months (subject to earlier
     termination under certain circumstances) and will be renewed
     automatically, unless terminated by either party upon giving prior notice
     as specified in each agreement.



                                      15
<PAGE>   17

     The assets of Woodlands Operating consist primarily of the following
     direct and indirect subsidiaries: (I) MND Hospitality, Inc., a payroll
     entity the assets of which are solely related to its employee benefit
     plans; (ii) MND Hospitality Services Corp., a payroll entity used to
     record the expenses of temporary employees; (iii) BOCH General
     Partnership, the assets of which include certain equipment, personal
     property and contract rights; (iv) WECCR General Partnership (AWECCR GP@)
     which leases certain assets described below; and (v) WECCR, Inc., a Texas
     corporation which owns 1% general partner interests in both BOCH General
     Partnership and WECCR GP.

     WECCR GP leases the Woodlands Conference Center and Country Club, a
     364-room executive conference center with a private golf and tennis club
     serving approximately 1,600 members and offering 81 holes of golf, and
     certain related assets (the "Facility") from The Woodlands Commercial
     Properties Company, L.P. ("Woodlands Commercial"), a partnership the
     interests of which are owned by Crescent and the Morgan Stanley Group.
     Pursuant to the lease agreement, Woodlands Commercial has assigned to
     WECCR GP substantially all of its interest in and to third-party contracts
     and agreements relating to the operation of the Facility. WECCR GP leases
     the Facility on a triple net basis and will pay base rent in the amount of
     $750,000 per month during the eight-year term of the lease. The lease also
     provides for the payment of percentage rent ranging from 23% to 35% for
     each calendar year in which gross receipts from the operation of the
     Facility exceed amounts ranging from $38,000,000 to $54,000,000; provided,
     however, that in no event will percentage rent payments exceed a ceiling
     amount to be determined in accordance with a formula based on actual and
     estimated annual gross receipts. Under the lease, WECCR GP must maintain a
     net worth of at least $400,000 and is responsible for the payment of
     maintenance costs.

FUNDING FOR THE ACQUISITION OF WOODLANDS OPERATING

     Funds used to acquire the Company's general partner interest in Woodlands
     Operating were obtained through an advance on a $35.9 million term note
     from Crescent Operating Partnership, pursuant to a term note agreement
     between the two companies. The term note is a recourse obligation which
     bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum, compounded annually, and is
     payable quarterly in an amount equal to the lesser of (I) the net cash
     flow for the preceding quarter and (ii) the quarterly amount of principal
     due, together with interest accrued on the loan. Net cash flow will be
     computed by subtracting the total costs incurred by the Company from its
     gross receipts. The loan will mature on May 8, 2002.

PENDING INVESTMENT

     Crescent REIT has offered the Company the opportunity to acquire, for
     approximately $1 million, all of the voting stock, representing a 5%
     equity interest, in The Woodlands Land Company, Inc. ("Landevco"), a
     newly-formed residential development corporation which is currently wholly
     owned by Crescent REIT Landevco holds a 42.5% general partner interest in,
     and is the managing general partner of, The Woodlands Land Development
     Company, L.P., which owns, among other assets, certain residential
     property, a realty office, contract rights relating to the operation of
     its properties and a 50% interest in a title company. The Company has
     accepted the offer to acquire the interest in Landevco and anticipates it
     will consummate the acquisition in the near future.
