                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.       Organization and Basis of Presentation:
         ---------------------------------------

         Organization
         ------------

         Beacon Properties Corporation was incorporated on March 4, 1994 as a
         Maryland Corporation, and commenced operations effective with the
         completion of its Initial Public Offering (the "IPO") on May 26, 1994.
         Beacon Properties Corporation, together with Beacon Properties, L.P.
         (the "Operating Partnership") and their subsidiaries (collectively, the
         "Company") was formed to continue and expand the commercial real estate
         business of The Beacon Group (the "Predecessor"). The Company
         qualifies as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue
         Code of 1986, as amended.

         The Company specializes in property ownership, management, leasing,
         design and development and currently owns or has an interest in 118
         properties totaling approximately 18.8 million square feet (the
         "Properties").

         Basis of Presentation
         ---------------------

         The financial statements of the Company are consolidated and include
         all the accounts of the Company, its majority owned Operating
         Partnership and subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
         transactions have been eliminated.

         The accompanying financial statements are unaudited; however, they have
         been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles for interim financial information and in conjunction with
         the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
         Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by
         generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
         statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
         solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation
         of the financial statements for these interim periods have been
         included. The results for the six months ended June 30, 1997 are not
         necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full
         fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
         with the December 31, 1996 audited financial statements and notes
         thereto of the Company, included in its annual report on Form 10-K (as
         amended by Form 10-K/A) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.
         Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported amounts
         to conform with current reporting.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                     -------


3.       Mortgage Notes Payable:
         -----------------------

         On April 30, 1997, in connection with the acquisition of Centerpointe I
         and II located in Fairfax County, Virginia, the Company assumed $30
         million of mortgage debt secured by the properties. The mortgage has a
         remaining term of 3.9 years, bears interest at 7.32% and requires
         monthly installments of interest only until December 1, 1999 and
         principal and interest during the remaining term based on a 25-year
         amortization schedule.

         On May 23, 1997, in connection with the acquisition of Westbrook
         Corporate Center located in suburban Chicago, the Company assumed
         approximately $82 million of million of mortgage debt and borrowed $24
         million of additional mortgage debt secured by the properties. The
         mortgage has a term of ten years, bears interest at 8.00% and requires
         monthly installments of principal and interest based on a 26-year
         amortization schedule.

4.       Note Payable, Credit Facility:
         ------------------------------

         On April 8, 1997, the Company replaced its $300 million secured
         floating-rate credit facility (the "Credit Facility") to an unsecured
         facility and decreased the interest rate on the Credit Facility from
         the Eurodollar rate plus 175 basis points (1.75%) to the Eurodollar
         rate plus 120 basis points (1.20%). Additionally, on April 30, 1997,
         the maximum loan amount available under the Credit Facility was
         increased to $350 million.

         As a result of the new unsecured Credit Facility, the Company recorded
         an extraordinary item of $2.3 million, net of minority interest, in
         connection with the write-off of fees and costs to acquire the prior
         secured Credit Facility.

5.       Commitments and Contingencies:
         ------------------------------

         In connection with the acquisition of the Westbrook Corporate Center,
         the Company has agreed to maintain non-recourse financing assumed from
         the sellers for a 10 year period and not to sell or otherwise transfer
         any portion of the property prior to the tenth anniversary of the
         closing date. If the Company should choose not to maintain the
         non-recourse provisions of the existing or new debt, or should choose
         to sell the property, within the 10 year period it shall be required to
         make payments to the sellers.

6.       Environmental issue:
         --------------------

         Site assessments at 175 Wyman Street have identified the presence of
         trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene in the groundwater (the
         "Existing Groundwater Condition"). The chemicals in the groundwater are
         believed to be associated with former manufacturing use of the
         Property. Prior to the acquisition of the Property by the Company, the
         former owner of the Property, Hewlett-Packard Company, reported the
         Existing Groundwater Condition to the Massachusetts Department of
         Environmental Protection (the "DEP). Hewlett-Packard Company sought and
         obtained approval from DEP of an Immediate Response Action which
         involves installation of a system to extract and treat contaminated
         groundwater (the "System). According to its submissions to DEP,
         Hewlett-Packard Company is in the process of installing the System. In
         its purchase and sale agreement with the Company, Hewlett-Packard
         Company agreed to indemnify the Company against costs of remediating
         the Existing Groundwater Condition and claims by off-site parties for
         property damage, personal injury, and natural resource damages related
         to the Existing Groundwater Condition (the "Indemnity"). Any claim
         under the Indemnity is subject to the risk that the indemnifying party
         will lack sufficient assets to satisfy the claim. Moreover, any claim
         under the Indemnity may be subject to substantial defenses, including
         but not limited to the defense that the claim was exacerbated by the
         Company's development or redevelopment of the Property, as to which
         matters the Company has indemnified Hewlett-Packard Company. However,
         the Company does not believe that any such liability would have a
         material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of
         operations and liquidity.

         On August 8, 1997, the Company amended the Credit Facility to provide
         for a competitive bid option and a decrease in the interest rate on the
         Credit Facility from the Eurodollar rate plus 120 basis points (1.20%)
         to the Eurodollar rate plus 90 basis points (.90%).

                                     -------


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations.

This Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. The words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "estimate" and
other expressions which are predictions of or indicate future events and trends
and which do not relate to historical matters identify forward-looking
statements. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those set
forth in the forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause such a
difference include the following: Real estate investment considerations, such as
the effect of economic and other conditions in the market area on cash flows and
values; the need to renew leases or relet space upon the expiration of current
leases, and the ability of a property to generate revenues sufficient to meet
debt service payments and other operating expenses; and risks associated with
borrowing, such as the possibility that the Company will not have sufficient
funds available to make principal payments on outstanding debt, outstanding debt
may be refinanced at higher interest rates or otherwise on terms less favorable
to the Company and interest rates under the Credit Facility may increase.

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial
statements and notes thereto.


Results of Operations

Comparison of Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996

The Company's gross revenues increased by 117% for the six months ended June 30,
1997 compared to the corresponding period in 1996. The growth in gross revenues
was primarily the result of the acquisition of 87 Properties (the "Acquisition
Properties" ) comprising 12.0 million square feet during 1996 and 1997 offset by
the sale of the Westlakes Office Park Property in May 1997. The Company's
proportionate share of weighted average square feet of office properties
increased by 97% to 14.6 million square feet for the six months ended June 30,
1997 compared to 7.4 million square feet for the corresponding period in 1996.

The Acquisition Properties increased revenues from rental operations, which
includes rental income, recoveries from tenants and other income, by $44.1 and
$85.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively,
compared to the corresponding periods in 1996. The remaining balance of the
increase was primarily due to increases in occupancy and rental rates and
completion of the redevelopment and achievement of 88% occupancy at the Crosby
Corporate Center in 1996 offset by the decrease in revenues as a result of the
sale of Westlakes Office Park.

The impact of the straight-line rent adjustment increased consolidated revenues
for the Company by $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and $2.6
million for the corresponding period in 1996. The impact of the straight-line
rent adjustment decreased the Company's equity in net income of property joint
ventures and corporations by $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997
and increased the Company's equity in net income of property joint ventures and
corporations by $0.1 million for the corresponding period in 1996.

The impact of the straight-line rent adjustment increased consolidated revenues
for the Company by $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and
$1.5 million for the corresponding period in 1996. The impact of the
straight-line rent adjustment decreased the Company's equity in net income of
property joint ventures and corporations by $0.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 and increased the Company's equity in net income of property
joint ventures and corporations by $0.1 million for the corresponding period in
1996.

                                     -------


Mortgage interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 was
$1.4 and $2.8 million, respectively, compared to $1.2 and $2.2 million for
corresponding periods in 1996. The increase is the result of the Company's
acquisition of the remaining portions of the outstanding first mortgage
indebtedness on the Rowes Wharf Property in April and June 1996.

The Acquisition Properties increased property expenses, real estate taxes and
depreciation and amortization by $21.8 and $41.7 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods
in 1996. The remaining balance of the increase was primarily due to additional
operating expenses as a result of an increase in occupancy and the completion of
the redevelopment and achievement of 88% occupancy at the Crosby Corporate
Center in 1996 offset by the decrease in expenses as a result of the sale of the
Westlakes Office Park.

General and administrative expenses were $9.1 and $17.7 million for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, compared to $3.8 and $7.4
million for the corresponding periods in 1996. The Acquisition Properties
increased general and administrative expenses by $1.4 and $2.5 million for the
three and six month periods, respectively. The remaining balance of the increase
was primarily due to an increase in corporate management and administrative
costs. In 1996, the Company established its first regional offices in the
Southeast and Mid-Atlantic and in the first quarter of 1997 regional offices in
the Midwest and West were established. As a result, payroll expense increased by
$4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 along with an increase in
other corporate and regional general and administrative expenses. General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 10.9% for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 compared to 9.8% for the corresponding period in
1996.

Net operating income (excluding the effect of straight-line rents) for
properties owned for at least a full year (all properties except the Acquisition
Properties) increased 7.2% and 6.2% for the three and six months ended June 30,
1997, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 1996.

Mortgage interest expense was $11.6 and $22.7 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, compared to $7.3 and $13.7 million for
the corresponding periods in 1996. The increase in both periods was primarily
the result of debt incurred or assumed in connection with several of the
Acquisition Properties and an increase in the weighted average outstanding
balance of the Credit Facility.

Interest-amortization of financing costs was $0.3 and $0.7 million for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, compared to $0.6 and $1.2
million for the corresponding periods in 1996. The decrease was primarily the
result of the reduction in amortization of financing costs of the Credit
Facility as a result of the write-off of fees and costs of the Credit Facility
which was substantially modified in both June 1996 and April 1997.

Equity in net income of joint ventures and corporations was $1.9 and $3.3
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, compared
to $1.2 and $2.7 million for the corresponding periods in 1996. The increase in
both periods was primarily the result of an increase in equity in net income
from 75-101 Federal Street as a result of a termination fee recognized in 1997.

Loss from discontinued operations from the Construction Company was $0.9 and
$1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively,
compared to $0.7 and $1.1 million for the corresponding periods in 1996. In
December 1996, substantially all of the assets of the Construction Company were
sold to Skanska AB, a Swedish construction firm. The Construction Company's new
business plan involves the completion of certain contracts not transferred to
the purchaser and the liquidation of its remaining assets.

In May 1997, the Company sold the Westlakes Office Park property, its sole
property located in Berwyn (suburban Philadelphia), Pennsylvania for
approximately $72.5 million and recorded a gain on the sale of the property of
$16.7 million.

Extraordinary items, net of minority interest, was $2.3 million for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $1.6 and $3.3 million for the
corresponding periods in 1996. In 1997, the Company recorded an extraordinary
item in connection with the write-off of fees and costs of the secured Credit
Facility which was replaced with an unsecured facility in April 1997. In March
1996, the Company recorded an extraordinary item of $1.8 million, net of
minority interest, in connection with the write-off of fees and costs to acquire
a $260 million mortgage loan provided by Paine Webber Real Estate Securities,
Inc. used to acquire the Perimeter Center Portfolio (the "Paine Webber
Acquisition Loan"). The Paine Webber Acquisition Loan was repaid in March 1996,
approximately three years prior to its maturity. Also in 1996, an extraordinary
item of $1.5 million, net of minority interest, was recorded in connection the
write-off of fees and costs of the Credit Facility which was substantially
modified in June 1996.

The minority interest in the Operating Partnership represents the portion of the
Operating Partnership which is not owned by the Company.

                                     -------

Capitalization

At June 30, 1997, the Company's total consolidated debt was approximately $736.5
million, and its total consolidated debt plus its proportionate share of total
unconsolidated debt (other than the Rowes Wharf Property debt) was approximately
$829.1 million. At June 30, 1997, the Company's outstanding consolidated debt
consisted of approximately $149.0 million under its floating-rate Credit
Facility and approximately $587.5 million of fixed rate mortgage indebtedness
with an weighted average rate of 7.38%, collateralized by properties owned 100%
by the Company. The Company's proportionate share of its current total
unconsolidated debt (excluding the Rowes Wharf Property debt) consists of
approximately $46.1 million on the One Post Office Square Property (in which the
Company has a 50% general partner interest) and approximately $46.4 million on
the 75-101 Federal Street Property (in which the Company owns approximately 52%
of the common stock of a private REIT that owns the property). The weighted
average rate of the Company's unconsolidated fixed rate mortgage indebtedness is
7.47%. The weighted average rate of the Company's consolidated and
unconsolidated fixed rate mortgage indebtedness is 7.39% and the weighted
average maturity is approximately 6.8 years.

Based on the Company's total market capitalization of $3,118.4 million at June
30, 1997 (at the June 30, 1997 closing stock price of $33.313 per share and
including the 7,343,451 Units of minority interest in the Operating
Partnership), the Company's consolidated debt plus its proportionate share of
total unconsolidated debt (other than the Rowes Wharf property debt) represented
approximately 27% of its total market capitalization.

Funds from Operations

The Company believes that to facilitate a clear understanding of the operating
results of the Company, Funds from Operations ("FFO") should be examined in
conjunction with net income. The definition of FFO was clarified in the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT") White Paper,
adopted by the NAREIT Board of Governors on March 3, 1995, as net income
(computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles),
excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus
depreciation and amortization (in each case only real estate related assets),
and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be
calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO should not be considered as a
substitute for net income as an indication of the Company's performance or as a
substitute for cash flow as a measure of its liquidity. The following table
presents the calculations for FFO for the periods ended June 30, 1997 and June
30, 1996.

                                 PART I - ITEM 2

                                     -------


Short and Long Term Liquidity

The Company has considered its short-term (up to 12 months) liquidity needs and
the adequacy of expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. The Company
believes that its principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund normal
recurring expenses, debt service requirements and the minimum distribution
required to maintain the Company's REIT qualifications under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company believes that these needs will be
fully funded from cash flows provided by operating activities.

The Company expects to meet long-term (greater than 12 months) liquidity
requirements for the costs of development, property acquisitions, scheduled debt
maturities, major renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital
improvements through long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the
issuance of additional Operating Partnership Units and equity securities. The
Company may finance the redevelopment or acquisition of additional properties by
using its Credit Facility.

OTHER INFORMATION
-----------------

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

         On April 3, 1997, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the
         "Commonwealth") filed a claim against the Beacon Construction Company,
         Inc. and certain other parties relating to the construction of the
         Registry of Motor Vehicles Building (the "RMV Building"), located at
         Ruggles Center, Boston, Massachusetts, which seeks to recover damages
         from Beacon Construction Company, Inc. as a result of its alleged
         negligence in connection with the construction of the RMV Building. The
         Company is unable to quantify the claims of the Commonwealth but does
         not believe that the proceedings will have a material adverse effect on
         the Company's financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities

     (a) None

     (b) On June 13, 1997, the Company issued 8,000,000 shares of 8.98% Series A
         Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share. The 8.98% Series A Preferred
         Stock ranks senior to the Company's Common Stock.

     (c) Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities:
         
         During the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Operating Partnership
         issued Units in private placements in reliance on an exemption from
         registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
         amended, in the amount and for the consideration set forth below. Each
         Unit, other than Series A Preferred Units, is redeemable for cash, or,
         at the option of the Company, for shares of the Company's common stock,
         on a one-for-one basis.

         On April 16, 1997, the Operating Company issued 7,000,000 Units to the
         Company in exchange for the contribution of the net proceeds of
         approximately $211.4 million from the Company's public offering of a
         like number of shares of common stock.

         On May 23, 1997, the Operating Partnership issued 1,374,006 Units to
         the contributors of the Westbrook Corporate Center in exchange for
         their interests in the property.
