CORPORATE OFFICE PROPERTIES TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION
Corporate Office Properties Trust ("COPT") and subsidiaries (the "Company")
is a fully integrated and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT"). We
focus principally on the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition and
development of suburban office buildings located in select submarkets in the
Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. COPT is qualified as a REIT as defined
in the Internal Revenue Code and is the successor to a corporation organized in
1988. As of June 30, 2000, our portfolio included 81 office properties and one
retail property.
We conduct almost all of our operations principally through our operating
partnership, Corporate Office Properties, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"),
for which we are the managing general partner. The Operating Partnership owns
real estate both directly and through subsidiary partnerships and limited
liability companies ("LLCs"). The Operating Partnership also owns the principal
economic interest and, collectively with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Operating Officer, 49.5% of the voting stock of Corporate Office Management,
Inc. ("COMI") (together with its subsidiaries defined as the "Service
Companies"). A summary of our Operating Partnership's forms of ownership and the
percentage of those ownership forms owned by COPT as of June 30, 2000 follows:
% Owned by COPT
-----------------
Common Units 64%
Series A Preferred Units 100%
Series B Preferred Units 100%
Series C Preferred Units 0%
NOTE 2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These notes to our interim financial statements highlight significant
changes to the notes to the financial statements included in our 1999 Form 10-K.
As a result, these notes to our interim financial statements should be read
together with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our 1999
Form 10-K. The interim financial statements on the previous pages reflect all
adjustments which we believe are necessary for the fair presentation of our
financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.
These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations
for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a
full year.
We use two different accounting methods to report our investments in
entities: the consolidation method and the equity method.
CONSOLIDATION METHOD
We use the consolidation method when we own most of the outstanding voting
interests in an entity and can control its operations. This means the accounts
of the entity are combined with our accounts. We eliminate balances and
transactions between companies when we consolidate these accounts. Our
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of:
- - COPT,
- - the Operating Partnership and its subsidiary partnerships and LLCs, and
- - Corporate Office Properties Holdings, Inc. (we own 100%).
6
EQUITY METHOD
We use the equity method of accounting to report our investment in the
Service Companies. Under the equity method, we report:
- - our ownership interest in the Service Companies' capital as an investment
on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and
- - our percentage share of the earnings or losses from the Service Companies
in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We make estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements under
generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions affect
various matters, including:
- - our reported amounts of assets and liabilities in our Consolidated Balance
Sheets at the dates of the financial statements,
- - our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the
financial statements, and
- - our reported amounts of revenues and expenses in our Consolidated
Statements of Operations during the reporting periods.
These estimates involve judgements with respect to, among other things,
future economic factors that are difficult to predict and are often beyond
management's control. As a result, actual amounts could differ from these
estimates.
MINORITY INTERESTS
As discussed previously, we consolidate the accounts of our Operating
Partnership into our financial statements. However, we do not own 100% of the
Operating Partnership. Our Operating Partnership also does not own 11% of one of
its subsidiary partnerships. The amounts reported for minority interests on our
Consolidated Balance Sheets represent the portion of these consolidated
entities' equity that we do not own. The amounts reported for minority interests
on our Consolidated Statements of Operations represent the portion of these
consolidated entities' net income not allocated to us.
Common Units of the Operating Partnership ("Common Units") are
substantially similar economically to our Common Shares of beneficial interest
("Common Shares"). Common Units are also exchangeable into our Common Shares,
subject to certain conditions. We have accrued distributions related to Common
Units owned by minority interests of $1,784 at June 30, 2000 and $1,983 at
December 31, 1999.
Our Operating Partnership issued 974,662 Series C Preferred Units in
connection with a December 1999 property acquisition. Owners of these units are
entitled to a priority annual return equal to 9% of their liquidation preference
for the first ten years following issuance, 10.5% for the five following years
and 12% thereafter. These units are convertible, subject to certain
restrictions, commencing December 21, 2000 into Common Units in the Operating
Partnership on the basis of 2.381 Common Units for each Series C Preferred Unit,
plus any accrued return. The Common Units would then be exchangeable for Common
Shares, subject to certain conditions. We have accrued distributions related to
Series C Preferred Units owned by minority interests of $548 at June 30, 2000
and $61 at December 31, 1999.
Our Operating Partnership issued 2,100,000 preferred units in connection
with an October 1997 property acquisition (the "Initial Preferred Units"). These
units were converted into Common Units on the basis of 3.5714 Common Units for
each Initial Preferred Unit in October 1999. Prior to converting these units,
owners were entitled to a priority annual return equal to 6.5% of their
liquidation preference.
7
EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS")
We present both basic and diluted EPS. We compute basic EPS by dividing
income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of Common
Shares outstanding during the period. Our computation of diluted EPS is similar
except that:
- - the denominator is increased to include the weighted average number of
potential additional Common Shares that would have been outstanding if
securities that are convertible into our Common Shares were converted and
- - the numerator is adjusted to add back any convertible preferred dividends
and any other changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed
conversion into Common Shares.
Our computation of diluted EPS does not assume conversion of securities into our
Common Shares if conversion of those securities would increase our diluted EPS
in a given period. A summary of the numerator and denominator for purposes of
our basic and diluted EPS calculations is as follows (dollars and shares in
thousands):

======== ======== ======== ========
Our diluted EPS computation for the three months ended June 30, 2000 only
assumes conversion of share options and Common Unit warrants because conversions
of Preferred Units, Series A Preferred Shares of beneficial interest (the
"Series A Preferred Shares") and Common Units would increase diluted EPS in that
period. Our diluted EPS computation for the three months ended June 30, 1999
only assumes conversion of share options and Initial Preferred Units because
conversions of Series A Preferred Shares and Common Units would increase diluted
EPS in that period.
Our diluted EPS computation for the six months ended June 30, 2000 only
assumes conversion of share options and Common Unit warrants because conversions
of Preferred Units, Series A Preferred Shares and Common Units would increase
diluted EPS in that period. Our diluted EPS before extraordinary item
computation for the six months ended June 30, 1999 assumes conversion of share
options, Initial Preferred Units and Series A Preferred Shares because
conversions of Common Units would increase diluted EPS in that period. Our
diluted EPS on net income computation for the six months ended June 30, 1999
only assumes conversion of
8
share options and Initial Preferred Units because conversions of Series A
Preferred Shares and Common Units would increase diluted EPS in that period.
RECLASSIFICATION
We reclassified certain amounts from prior periods to conform to the
current period presentation of our consolidated financial statements. These
reclassifications did not affect consolidated net income or shareholders'
equity.

NOTE 13 INFORMATION BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
We have five segments: Baltimore/Washington Corridor office, Greater
Philadelphia office, Northern/Central New Jersey office, Greater Harrisburg
office and retail. Our office properties represent our core-business. We manage
our retail properties as a single segment since they are considered outside of
our core-business.
The table below reports segment financial information. Our retail segment
is not separately reported since it does not meet the reporting thresholds. We
measure the performance of our segments based on total revenues less property
operating expenses. Accordingly, we do not report other expenses by segment in

reviewed by management. We also did not allocate equity in (loss) income of
Service Companies, general and administrative and minority interests since these
items represent general corporate items not attributable to segments.
NOTE 14 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal actions arising
from our ownership and administration of properties. In management's opinion,
any liabilities that may result are not expected to have a materially adverse
effect on our financial position, operations or liquidity. We are subject to
various federal, state and local environmental regulations related to our
property ownership and operation. We have performed environment assessments of
our properties the results of which have not revealed any environmental
liability that we believe would have a materially adverse effect on our
financial position, operations or liquidity.
We are under two contracts to purchase parcels of land that are contiguous
to certain of our existing operating properties. The purchase price for one
parcel is $3,945. The purchase price for the other parcel will be determined
based upon the square footage of the area contained in the building to be
constructed on the land.
NOTE 15 PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
We accounted for our 1999 and 2000 acquisitions using the purchase method
of accounting. We included the results of operations for the acquisitions in our
Consolidated Statements of Operations from their respective purchase dates
through June 30, 2000.
16
We prepared the pro forma condensed consolidated financial information
presented below as if all of our 1999 and 2000 acquisitions and dispositions had
occurred on January 1, 1999. Accordingly, we were required to make pro forma
adjustments where deemed necessary. The pro forma financial information is
unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of the results which actually would
have occurred if these acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1999, nor does it
intend to represent our results of operations for future periods.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999
Our total revenues increased $6.9 million or 35%, of which $6.1 million was
generated by rental revenue and $764,000 by tenant recoveries and other revenue.
Included in this change is the following:
- - $6.1 million increase attributable to 28 properties acquired and five
newly-constructed properties placed in service since April 1, 1999.
- - $1.1 million increase attributable to 47 office properties owned throughout
both reporting periods due mostly to increases in rental rates on renewed
space, additional lease termination revenue and steady occupancy.
- - $212,000 decrease attributable to properties sold since April 1, 1999.
Our total expenses increased $6.0 million or 41% due to the effects of the
increases in property operating, interest expense and amortization of deferred
financing costs, depreciation and other amortization and general and
administrative expenses described below.
Our property operating expenses increased $2.1 million or 38%. Included in
this change is the following:
- - $1.7 million increase attributable to 28 properties acquired and five
newly-constructed properties placed in service since April 1, 1999.
- - $411,000 increase attributable to 47 office properties owned throughout
both reporting periods.
- - $16,000 decrease attributable to properties sold since April 1, 1999.
Our interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs increased
$2.2 million or 39% due mostly to a 38% increase in our average outstanding debt
balance resulting from our 1999 and 2000 acquisitions and construction activity.
Our depreciation and other amortization expense increased $1.4 million or 49%,
$947,000 of which is attributable to 28 properties acquired and five
newly-constructed properties placed in service since April 1, 1999. Our general
and administrative expenses increased $364,000 or 46%, $164,000 of which is
attributable to Common Shares subject to forfeiture restrictions issued to
certain of our officers.
Our income before minority interests and extraordinary item also includes a
$97,000 decrease in gain realized on the sales of rental properties and a
$193,000 decrease in our equity in the income of the Service Companies.
As a result of the above factors, income before minority interests and
extraordinary item increased by $582,000 or 11%. The amounts reported for
minority interests on our Consolidated Statements of Operations represent
primarily the portion of the Operating Partnership's net income not allocated to
us. Our income allocation to minority interests increased $530,000 or 35% due to
the increase in the Operating Partnership's net income combined with a higher
percentage ownership by minority interests during the current period.
The factors discussed above combined with a $102,000 decrease in
extraordinary losses collectively resulted in a $154,000 increase in net income.
There was a $781,000 increase in Preferred Share dividends resulting from the
Series B Preferred Share issuance in July 1999. As a result of all of the above,
net income available to Common Shareholders decreased $627,000 or 19%.
COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999
Our total revenues increased $14.2 million or 37%, of which $11.7 million

both reporting periods due mostly to increases in rental rates on renewed
space, additional lease termination revenue and steady occupancy.
- - $753,000 decrease attributable to properties sold since January 1, 1999.
Our total expenses increased $12.0 million or 42% due to the effects of the
increases in property operating, interest expense and amortization of deferred
financing costs, depreciation and other amortization and general and
administrative expenses described below.
Our property operating expenses increased $4.7 million or 45%. Included in
this change is the following:
- - $3.6 million increase attributable to 29 properties acquired and five
newly-constructed properties placed in service since January 1, 1999.
- - $1.1 million increase attributable to 46 office properties owned throughout
both reporting periods, $540,000 of which is due to increased snow removal
costs.
- - $153,000 decrease attributable to properties sold since January 1, 1999.
Our interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs increased
$4.0 million or 36% due mostly to a 38% increase in our average outstanding debt
balance resulting from our 1999 and 2000 acquisitions and construction activity.
Our depreciation and other amortization expense increased $2.5 million or 44%,
$1.9 million of which is attributable to 29 properties acquired and five
newly-constructed properties placed in service since January 1, 1999. Our
general and administrative expenses increased $823,000 or 49%, $463,000 of which
is attributable to Common Shares subject to forfeiture restrictions issued to
certain of our officers and the lapsing of these restrictions on a number of
these shares.
Our income before minority interests and extraordinary item also includes a
$1.1 million decrease in our gain realized on the sales of rental properties and
a $327,000 decrease in our equity in the income of the Service Companies.
As a result of the above factors, income before minority interests and
extraordinary item increased by $833,000 or 8%. Our income allocation to
minority interests increased $1.4 million or 48% due to the increase in the
Operating Partnership's net income combined with a higher percentage ownership
by minority interests during the current period.
The factors discussed above combined with a $796,000 decrease in
extraordinary losses collectively resulted in a $259,000 increase in net income.
There was a $1.6 million increase in Preferred Share dividends resulting from
the Series B Preferred Share issuance in July 1999. As a result of all of the
above, net income available to Common Shareholders decreased $1.3 million or
20%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CAPITALIZATION AND LIQUIDITY
Cash provided from operations represented our primary source of liquidity
to fund dividends and distributions, pay debt service and fund working capital
requirements. We expect to continue to meet our short-term capital needs,
including all property expenses, general and administrative expenses, debt
service, distribution requirements and recurring capital improvements and
leasing commissions. We do not anticipate borrowing to meet these requirements.
We historically have financed our property acquisitions using a combination
of borrowings secured by our properties, proceeds from the sales of properties
and the equity issuances of Common and Preferred Units in our Operating
Partnership and Common and Preferred Shares. We use our secured revolving credit
facility with Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown (the "Revolving Credit Facility") to
finance much of our investing and financing activities. We pay down our
Revolving Credit Facility using proceeds from long-term borrowings
collateralized by our properties as attractive financing conditions arise and
equity issuances as attractive equity market conditions arise. We also have a
$50.0 million line of credit with Prudential Securities Credit Corporation (the
"Prudential Credit Facility"). Amounts available under the Revolving Credit
Facility and the Prudential Credit Facility are computed based on 65% of the
appraised value of properties pledged as collateral. As of August 1, 2000, the
maximum amount available under our Revolving Credit Facility was $99.4 million,
of which $8.2 million was unused. As of August 1, 2000, none of our properties
were pledged as collateral for the Prudential Credit Facility and therefore no
borrowings were available.
Our debt strategy favors long-term, fixed-rate, secured debt over
variable-rate debt to minimize the risk of short-term increases in interest
rates. As of June 30, 2000, 64% of our mortgage and other loans payable balance
carried fixed interest rates.

We expect to meet our long-term capital needs through a combination of cash
from operations, additional borrowings from existing credit facilities and new
loans and additional equity issuances of Common Shares, Preferred Shares, Common
Units and/or Preferred Units.
As of June 30, 2000, we had $121.0 million in mortgage and other loans
payable maturing in 2000 which includes a $100.0 million loan maturing in
October that may be extended for two one-year periods, subject to certain
conditions. We expect to extend this loan for a one-year period and as of June
30, 2000 are in compliance with the necessary conditions. We expect to repay the
remaining balance of the 2000 loan maturities through a combination of
borrowings from existing credit facilities and new loans and cash from
operations.
We are under two contracts to purchase parcels of land that are contiguous
to certain of our existing operating properties. The purchase price for one
parcel will be $3.9 million. The purchase price for the other parcel will be
determined based upon the square footage of the area contained in the building
to be constructed on the land. We have no other contractual obligations as of
June 30, 2000 for property acquisitions or material capital costs other than the
completion of construction and development projects that were underway and
tenant improvements and leasing costs in the ordinary course of business.
23
INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000:
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we acquired a 74,513 square foot
operating property and five parcels of land for an aggregate acquisition cost of
$15.8 million. These acquisitions were financed by:
- using $10.0 million in proceeds under our Revolving Credit Facility,
- assuming $3.1 million in mortgage and other loans, and
- using cash reserves for the balance.
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we completed the construction of
three office buildings totaling 243,087 square feet. Costs incurred on these
buildings through June 30, 2000 totaled $29.1 million. We have $26.7 million in
construction loan facilities for these buildings of which $16.2 million was
borrowed through June 30, 2000.
As of June 30, 2000, we had construction activities underway on four new
buildings totaling 321,000 square feet that were 44% pre-leased. Estimated costs
upon completion for these projects total approximately $49.3 million. We have
construction loan facilities in place totaling $34.6 million to finance the
construction of these projects. Borrowings under these facilities totaled $4.2
million at June 30, 2000 all of which was drawn upon during the six months then
ended. We also borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility to finance these
activities.
As of June 30, 2000, we also had development activities underway on four
parcels of land.
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we sold a retail property for
$3.0 million of which $2.4 million was used to pay off a mortgage loan payable
on the property. Net proceeds from this sale after mortgage loan repayment,
transaction costs and operating revenue and expense pro-rations totaled $513,000
all of which was applied to working capital.
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
We generated net cash flow from operating activities of $20.4 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $3.7 million from the six
months ended June 30, 1999. Our increase in cash flows from operating activities
is due mostly to income generated from our newly acquired and newly constructed
properties. Our net cash flow used in investing activities for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 increased $13.3 million from the six months ended June 30,
1999 due mostly to a decrease of $29.4 million in proceeds from rental property
sales offset by a $21.0 million decrease in cash outlays associated with
purchases of and additions to commercial real estate properties. Our net cash
flow provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2000
increased $3.9 million from the six months ended June 30, 1999 due mostly to a
$37.6 million decrease in repayments of mortgage and other loans payable, offset
by an $28.4 million decrease in proceeds from mortgage and other loans payable.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
We consider Funds from Operations ("FFO") to be meaningful to investors as
a measure of the financial performance of an equity REIT when considered with
the financial data presented under generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP"). Under the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts'
("NAREIT") definition, FFO means net income (loss) computed using generally
accepted accounting principles, excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate-related depreciation and
amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures. Further, if the conversion of securities into Common Shares is
dilutive, we exclude any GAAP income allocated to these securities in computing
FFO. The FFO we present may not be comparable to the FFO of other REITs since
they may interpret the current NAREIT definition of FFO differently or they may
not use the current NAREIT definition of FFO. FFO is not the same as cash
generated from operating activities or net income determined in accordance with
GAAP. FFO is not necessarily an indication of our cash flow available to fund
cash needs. Additionally, it should not be used as an alternative to net income
when evaluating our financial performance or to cash flow
24
from operating, investing and financing when evaluating our liquidity or ability
to make cash distributions or pay debt service. Our FFO for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 are summarized in the following table:

INFLATION
We have not been significantly impacted by inflation during the periods
presented in this report. This is mostly because of the relatively low inflation
rates in our markets. Most of our tenants are contractually obligated to pay
their share of operating expenses, thereby reducing exposure to increases in
such costs resulting from inflation.
25
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to certain market risks, the most predominant of which is
changes in interest rates. Increases in interest rates can result in increased
interest expense under our Revolving Credit Facility and our other loans payable
carrying variable interest rate terms. Increases in interest rates can also
result in increased interest expense when our loans payable carrying fixed
interest rate terms mature and need to be refinanced.
The following table sets forth our long-term debt obligations, principal
cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates and estimated
fair market value ("FMV") at June 30, 2000 (dollars in thousands):
For the Year Ended December 31,

(1) Includes $100.0 million maturity in October that may be extended for two
one-year terms, subject to certain conditions.
(2) Includes $31.9 million for four construction loan facilities maturing that
may be extended for a one-year period, subject to certain conditions.
(3) Includes $2.6 million for a construction loan facility maturing that may be
extended for a two-year period, subject to certain conditions.
(4) Includes $3.7 million for a construction loan facility maturing that may be
extended for a one-year period, subject to certain conditions.
On May 25, 2000, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement with Bear
Stearns Capital Markets, Inc. This agreement caps our one-month LIBOR base at
7.7% per annum on a notional amount of $50.0 million through May 31, 2002. The
fair market value of this agreement as of June 30, 2000 was $84,000.
Based on our variable rate debt balances during the six months ended June
30, 2000, our interest expense would have increased $627,000 if interest rates
were 1% higher.
PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not currently involved in any material litigation nor, to the best

(other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business,
substantially all of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance).
