ITEM 1. BUSINESS
--------
The Trust
Washington Real Estate Investment Trust ("WRIT" or the "Trust") is a self-
administered, self-managed equity real estate investment trust ("REIT"). The
Trust's business consists of the ownership and operation of income-producing
real properties. The Trust has a fundamental strategy of regional focus,
diversification by property type and conservative financial management.
WRIT operates in a manner intended to enable it to qualify as a REIT under the
Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). In accordance with the Code, a trust which
distributes its capital gains and at least 95 percent of its taxable income to
its shareholders each year, and which meets certain other conditions, will not
be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its
shareholders. Over the last five years, dividends paid per share have been
$1.16 for 1999, $1.11 for 1998, $1.07 for 1997, $1.03 for 1996 and $.99 for
1995. The indicated annualized dividend rate for 2000, based upon the December
31, 1999 dividend, is $1.17. Gains on sale of real estate of $7.9 million in
1999 were tax deferred. Such gains were used to acquire real estate assets and
will not be distributed.
WRIT's geographic focus is based on two principles:
1. Real estate is a local business and is much more effectively selected and
managed by owners located and expert in the region.
2. Geographic markets deserving of focus must be among the nation's best
markets with a strong primary industry foundation but be diversified enough
to withstand downturns in its primary industry.
WRIT considers markets to be local if they can be reached from the operations
center within two hours by car. WRIT's Washington centered market reaches north
to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and south to Richmond, Virginia. While WRIT has
historically focused most of its investments in the Greater Washington-Baltimore
Region, in order to maximize acquisition opportunities, WRIT will consider
investments within the two-hour radius described above. WRIT also will consider
opportunities to duplicate its Washington focused approach in other geographic
markets which meet the criteria described above.
All of WRIT's Trustees, officers and employees live and work in the Greater
Washington-Baltimore region and WRIT's officers average over 19 years of
experience in this region.
The Greater Washington-Baltimore Economy and Real Estate Markets
The Greater Washington-Baltimore area today is an economic machine driven by the
federal government at its center and the growth that results from being the #1
high tech center in the nation (see below). The Technology/Biotechnology sector
has surpassed the federal government as largest employer in the region, and the
Washington region now ranks #1 in the nation in number of high technology firms
and number of high technology employees.

While federal employment in the region has decreased from 22% in 1970 to 11% in
1999, federal procurement (purchase of goods and services) has continued to grow
in the region. Federal procurement in the Washington region totaled $25.7
billion in 1999 making the region #1 in the nation exceeding the combined total
of the #2 and #3 metro areas (Los Angeles and St. Louis). Though the region may
not be recession proof, this federal procurement makes it substantially better
positioned than others to withstand an economic downturn.
Mae East, located in Tysons Corner, Virginia is one of only two Internet
convergence centers in the U.S. As a result, it is estimated that up to 60% of
the world's Internet traffic flows through Northern Virginia. The presence of
Mae East and of the thousands of high tech firms in the area has spawned a
concentration of data centers in the region where large Internet and other high
tech firms process tremendous amounts of data.
This concentration of high tech companies has served to attract even more high
tech firms. Amazon.com, Cisco Systems, Global Crossing and Winstar
Communications are all new presences in the Washington-Baltimore market.

This region serves as the headquarters for several of the largest U.S. and
international financial institutions including the World Bank, International
Monetary Fund, Inter-American Development Bank, Export-Import Bank, Federal
National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp.
(Freddie Mac) and Student Loan Marketing Association (Sallie Mae).
Other major public companies headquartered in the region include MCI Worldcom,
USAirways, America Online, Marriott International, Lockheed-Martin, Danaher
Corp., Lafarge Corp. and Gannett. The region is the second most popular tourist
destination in the world. Most importantly, the Mid-Atlantic region is known as
a job center, with solid educational opportunities and easy access to leisure
time activities.
The region's real estate markets are the beneficiary of this high tech growth.
Vacancies are extremely low, and rental rate growth is very strong. At year-end
1999, regional vacancy rates stood at 1.1% in apartments, 2.7% in grocery
anchored shopping centers and 5.7% in office buildings. The industrial sector,
at 9.2%, is the only sector with a "normal" vacancy level, and some of this
vacancy is the result of obsolescence.
The apartment vacancy rate of 1.1% at year-end 1999 was the area's lowest since
World War II. The office vacancy rate of 5.7% was the 3rd lowest amongst major
metropolitan areas. More importantly, the cities ranked #1 and #2 had vacancy
rates only slightly lower than Washington at 5.0% and 5.3% while New York,
ranked 4th just behind Washington, had a vacancy rate of 8.8%.
-4-
Development underway in the office and apartment sectors is expected to cause an
increase in vacancy rates, but Delta Associates/Transwestern Carey Winston
projects that office vacancies will only reach the 6% to 8% level at year-end
2001 - still lower than the #4 metro area in the nation today. Delta
Associates/Transwestern Carey Winston also projects that apartment vacancies
will only reach 4.9% by year-end 2002.
As of December 31, 1999, WRIT owned a diversified portfolio consisting of 12
retail centers, 22 office buildings, 9 apartment buildings and 16 industrial
distribution/flex properties. WRIT's principal objective is to invest in high
quality real properties in prime locations, then proactively manage, lease, and
develop ongoing capital improvement programs to improve their economic
performance. The percentage of total real estate rental revenue by property
group for 1999, 1998, and 1997 and the percent leased as of December 31, 1999
were as follows:
Real Estate Rental Revenue
Percent Leased --------------------------------
December 31, 1999 1999 1998 1997
----------------- ---- ---- ----
98% Office buildings 52% 50% 45%
92% Retail centers 15 17 20
97% Apartment buildings 19 20 23
94% Industrial/flex properties 14 13 12
--- --- ---
100% 100% 100%
=== === ===
On a combined basis, WRIT's portfolio was 96% occupied in 1999, 96% occupied in
1998, and 95% occupied in 1997.
Total revenue was $119.0 million for 1999, $103.6 million for 1998 and $79.4
million for 1997. During 1997 through 1999, WRIT acquired eight office
buildings, one retail center, two apartment buildings and eight industrial
distribution/flex properties for a total of 19 properties. These acquisitions
were the primary reason for the shifting of each group's percentage of total
revenue reflected above. During 1998 and 1999, WRIT sold two office properties,
four industrial/flex properties and one retail center for a total of seven
properties. No properties were sold in 1997. No single tenant accounted for
more than 3.81% of revenues in 1999, 3.96% of revenue in 1998 and 3.04% of
revenue in 1997. Various agencies of the U.S. government are counted separately
and include the Department of Commerce, Immigration and Naturalization Service,
U.S. Postal Service, Social Security Administration and U.S. Patent Office. All
Federal government tenants in the aggregate accounted for approximately 2.1% of
WRIT's 1999 total revenue. The larger non-Federal government tenants include
Crestar Bank, District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department, Giant Food,
Main Control, Inc., OAO Corporation, Pepsi Cola, Sun Microsystems, Sunrise
Assisted Living, Inc., The American Red Cross, Wang Laboratories and Xerox.
As of December 31, 1999, and for the year then ended, the 7900 Westpark office
building accounted for 13% of total assets based upon book value and 9% of total
revenues. No other single property accounted for more than 10% of total assets
or total revenues.
During 1998 and prior, the actual day-to-day property management functions at
the properties owned by the Trust were carried out by an independent management
company whose only client was WRIT. No WRIT Trustee or officer was a director
or owned any interest in the management company. Effective December 31, 1998,
WRIT acquired substantially all of the operations of the management company and
took over the property management functions of the properties.
The Trust expects to continue investing in additional income producing
properties. WRIT invests only in properties which management believes will
increase in income and value. WRIT's properties compete for tenants with other
properties throughout the respective areas in which they are located. All
properties compete for tenants on the basis of location, quality and rental
rates.
-5-
WRIT makes capital improvements on an ongoing basis to its properties for the
purpose of maintaining and increasing their values and income. Major
improvements and/or renovations to the properties in 1999 and 1998 are discussed
on page 10.
Further description of the property groups is contained in Item 2, Properties
and in Schedule III. Reference is also made to Item 7, Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The number of persons employed by the Trust was 243 as of February 4, 2000,
including 175 persons engaged in property management functions and 68 persons
engaged in corporate, financial, leasing, and asset management functions.

OFFICE BUILDINGS
- ----------------
Operating income in WRIT's core group of office buildings (excluding 1998 and
1999 acquisitions and dispositions) increased 7% from 1998 to 1999. This
increase was a result of strong rental rate growth and moderate occupancy gains
generally throughout the sector. WRIT's office markets are strong and, while
there is a significant amount of office development underway in several
submarkets, management anticipates that this sector will continue to perform
well in 2000.
During 1999, WRIT's office building revenues and operating income increased by
20% and 23% respectively, over 1998. These increases were primarily due to 1999
acquisitions (600 Jefferson Plaza, 1700 Research Boulevard and Parklawn Plaza)
and 1998 acquisitions (8230 Boone Boulevard and Woodburn Medical Park I and II)
combined with the 7% core group operating income increase described above.
Economic occupancy rates for the core group of office buildings averaged 97% for
both 1999 and 1998.
Rental rate increases of 5% for the sector were the result of increases at
nearly all of the properties. During 1999, WRIT executed new office leases for
645,000 square feet of office space at an average face rent increase of 18% on a
non-straight line basis.
Further details about the performance of the office building sector in 1999 and
1998 are provided in Management's Discussion and Analysis commencing on page 14.
INDUSTRIAL/FLEX PROPERTIES
- --------------------------
Operating income in WRIT's core group of industrial/flex properties (excluding
1999 and 1998 acquisitions and dispositions) increased 5%. Economic occupancy
rates for the core group of industrial/flex properties averaged 97% in 1999
compared to 95% in 1998.
During 1999, WRIT's industrial/flex properties revenues and operating income
increased by 20% and 16%, respectively, over 1998. These increases were
primarily due to 1999 acquisitions (Dulles South IV, Sully Square and Amvax) and
1998 acquisitions (Northern Virginia Industrial Park and 8900 Telegraph Road)
combined with the 5% core portfolio operating income increase described below.
Rental rate increases of 5% for the sector were the result of increases at the
majority of the properties. During 1999, WRIT executed 446,000 square feet of
new industrial/ flex space leases at an average face rent increase of 9% on a
non-straight line basis.
Further details about the performance of the industrial/flex properties sector
in 1999 and 1998 are provided in Management's Discussion and Analysis commencing
on page 14.
RETAIL CENTERS
- --------------
Operating income in WRIT's core retail centers (excluding 1999 and 1998
acquisitions and dispositions) increased 6% from 1998 to 1999. Retail center
rental rates for this same group increased 3% in 1999 over 1998.
During 1999, WRIT's retail center revenues and operating income increased by 4%
and 2%, respectively, over 1998. Economic occupancy rates for the core group of
retail center properties (excluding 1999 and 1998 acquisitions and dispositions)
averaged 96% in 1999 compared to 95% in 1998.
Further details about the performance of the retail center sector in 1999 and
1998 are provided in Management's Discussion and Analysis commencing on page 14.
-9-
APARTMENT BUILDINGS
- -------------------
During 1999, WRIT's apartment revenues and operating income increased by 8% and
9%, respectively, over 1998. These increases were primarily due to the 1999
acquisition of Avondale Apartments combined with the 7% operating income
increase described below.
WRIT's apartment sector core group operating income (excluding the Avondale
Apartments acquired in 1999) increased 7%. This increase was the result of
increased occupancy levels combined with 4% rental rate increases throughout the
group. Economic occupancy rates for the core group of apartments averaged 97%
in 1999 and 95% in 1998.
Further details about the performance of the apartment sector in 1999 and 1998
are provided in Management's Discussion and Analysis commencing on page 14.
PROPERTY EXPANSIONS & MAJOR RENOVATIONS
- ---------------------------------------
BRADLEE SHOPPING CENTER
- -----------------------
The facade renovation that began in 1998 was completed in June 1999. Included
in the renovation was the retenanting of the former 26,640 square-foot GC Murphy
space. The new leases associated with this space have a blended rate per square
foot of $15.28, which is approximately six times the former GC Murphy rent of
$2.42 per square foot. The total cost of the renovation was approximately $3.1
million, of which $1.1 million was incurred in 1999.
7900 WESTPARK DRIVE
- -------------------
In 1999, WRIT completed construction of a 49,000 square-foot office space
addition to its 7900 Westpark Drive office building in McLean, Virginia. This
addition commenced in 1998 and was built over the existing structured parking
deck, similar to the Trust's 1996 addition at 7700 Leesburg Pike. The addition
was 100% leased and occupied upon completion in October 1999. The total cost of
the addition will be approximately $7.5 million, of which $4.9 million was
incurred in 1999.
PROPERTY DISPOSITIONS
- ---------------------
During 1999, WRIT sold four real estate properties: 444 North Frederick Avenue,
Arlington Financial Center, Department of Commerce Industrial Center and V
Street Distribution Center. The total gain on the sales of these properties was
$7.9 million. Net proceeds from the sales of these properties of $22.0 million
were used to invest in other real estate properties acquired by WRIT in 1999.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
---------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
REAL ESTATE RENTAL REVENUE: 1999 VERSUS 1998
- --------------------------------------------
Total revenues for 1999 increased $15.4 million, or 15%, to $119.0 million from
$103.6 million in 1998. The percentage increase in real estate rental revenue
from 1998 to 1999 by property type was as follows:
Office Buildings 20%
Retail Centers 4%
Apartment Buildings 8%
Industrial/Flex Properties 20%
During 1999, WRIT's office building revenues and operating income increased by
20% and 23%, respectively, over 1998. These increases were primarily due to
1999 acquisitions (600 Jefferson Plaza and 1700 Research) and 1998 acquisitions
(8230 Boone Boulevard and Woodburn Medical Park I and II) combined with
increased rental rates and occupancy for the sector and offset in part by the
1999 sales of Arlington Financial Center and 444 N. Frederick Road.
During 1999, WRIT's retail center revenues and operating income increased by 4%
and 2%, respectively, over 1998. The change is primarily attributable to
increased rental rates and tenant recovery income offset by the December 1998
sale of Dover Mart retail center.
WRIT's apartment building revenues and operating income increased by 8% and 9%,
respectively, in 1999 over 1998. These increases were primarily due to the 1999
acquisition of Avondale Apartments, combined with increased rental rates and
occupancy levels across the sector.
WRIT's industrial/flex property revenues and operating income increased by 20%
and 16%, respectively, in 1999 over 1998. These increases were primarily due to
1999 acquisitions (Dulles South IV and Amvax) and 1998 acquisitions (Northern
Virginia Industrial Park and 8900 Telegraph Road) as well as increased rental
rates, offset in part by the 1999 sales of the Department of Commerce Industrial
Center and V Street Distribution Center.
REAL ESTATE RENTAL REVENUE: 1998 VERSUS 1997
- --------------------------------------------
Total revenues for 1998 increased $24.2 million, or 30%, to $103.6 million from
$79.4 million in 1997. The percentage increase in real estate rental revenue
from 1997 to 1998 by property type was as follows:
Office Buildings 43%
Retail Centers 13%
Apartment Buildings 17%
Industrial/Flex Properties 37%
During 1998, WRIT's office building revenues and operating income increased by
43% and 48%, respectively, over 1997. These increases were primarily due to
1998 acquisitions (8230 Boone Boulevard and Woodburn Medical Park I and II) and
1997 acquisitions (1600 Wilson Boulevard and 7900 Westpark Drive) combined with
increased rental rates and occupancy for the sector.
During 1998, WRIT's retail center revenues and operating income increased by 13%
and 17%, respectively, over 1997. These increases were primarily due to the
1998 acquisition of 800 South Washington Street retail center combined with
increased rental rates and increased tenant recovery income.
-14-
WRIT's apartment building revenues and operating income increased by 17% and
20%, respectively, in 1998 over 1997. These increases were primarily due to the
1997 acquisition of Bethesda Hill Apartments, combined with increased rental
rates across the sector.
WRIT's industrial/flex property revenues and operating income increased by 37%
and 39%, respectively, in 1998 over 1997. These increases were primarily due to
1998 acquisitions (Northern Virginia Industrial Park and 8900 Telegraph Road)
and 1997 acquisitions (Ammendale Technology Parks I and II and Pickett
Industrial Park), offset in part by the 1998 sales of Shirley 395 and
Ravensworth.
OPERATING EXPENSES AND OTHER RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------
Real estate operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were 30% for 1999 and
1998 as compared to 32% for 1997. The decrease in 1998 compared to 1997 is
attributable to a 42% revenue increase in WRIT's office building segment
resulting from 1998 and 1997 property acquisitions and increased occupancy and
rental rates, combined with only a 32% increase in the office building segment's
operating expenses. WRIT's percentage of revenue from office buildings within
its entire real estate portfolio has increased to 52% at December 31, 1999, from
50% at December 31, 1998 and 45% at December 31, 1997. The increase is
attributable to 1999 and 1998 office building acquisitions. Generally, real
estate operating expenses have increased to $35.3 million in 1999 from $31.1
million in 1998 and $25.5 million in 1997 due to the acquisition of seven real
estate properties in 1999 and six real estate properties in each of 1998 and
1997.
Interest expense increased $5.2 million in 1999 from 1998. This increase is
primarily attributable to the assumption of an $8.7 million mortgage in
September 1999 in connection with the acquisition of Avondale Apartments, the
issuance of $110.0 million in medium-term notes in February 1998, and the
assumption of $21.6 million in mortgages in November 1998 in connection with the
acquisition of Woodburn Medical Park. In addition, WRIT closed on a $50.0
mortgage note in September 1999 at 7.14% interest rate that was used to pay down
WRIT's unsecured lines of credit at slightly lower interest rates. Interest
expense increased $7.4 million in 1998 from 1997. This increase was
attributable to the issuance of the $110 million medium-term notes in February
1998 and an increase in the average balance of outstanding line of credit
advances due to acquisitions in 1998 and 1997.
General and administrative expenses were $6.2 million for 1999 as compared to
$6.6 million for 1998 and $4.2 million for 1997. The decrease in general and
administrative expenses in 1999, as compared to 1998, is primarily attributable
to increased property management profits that in turn reduce the administrative
expenses of the Trust. The increase in general and administrative expenses in
1998 from 1997 was attributable to increased compensation from personnel
additions due to the increased portfolio of the Trust.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
- -------------------------------
WRIT has utilized the proceeds of share offerings, unsecured and secured debt
offerings, medium and long-term fixed interest rate debt, bank lines of credit
and cash flow from operations for its capital needs. Management believes that
external sources of capital will continue to be available to WRIT from its
existing unsecured credit commitments and from selling additional shares and/or
the sale of medium or long-term secured or unsecured notes. The funds raised
would be used to pay off any outstanding advances on the Trust's lines of credit
and/or for new acquisitions and capital improvements.
As of December 31, 1999, WRIT had line of credit commitments in place from
commercial banks for up to $75 million, which bear interest at an adjustable
spread over LIBOR based on the Trust's interest coverage ratio and public debt
rating. WRIT acquired seven properties for a total acquisition cost of $61.9
million in 1999, and acquired six properties for total acquisition costs of
$82.2 million in 1998. The 1999 acquisitions were financed through line of
credit advances, the use of proceeds from property sales in February 1999 and
the assumption of a mortgage payable of $8.7 million. The 1998 acquisitions
were primarily financed through line of credit advances, the February 1998
issuance of $110 million of medium-term notes (after repayment of amounts
outstanding on line-of-credit borrowings of $95 million), the assumption of
mortgages payable amounting to $21.6 million and the reinvestment of the
proceeds of the sale of three properties in 1998 of $10.8 million. On September
27, 1999, WRIT closed on a $50.0 million mortgage note payable, the proceeds of
which were used to pay down WRIT's unsecured lines of credit. The mortgage is
secured by five of WRIT's Virginia residential properties.
-15-
On February 20, 1998, WRIT sold $50 million of 7.25% unsecured notes due
February 25, 2028 at 98.653% to yield approximately 7.36%. WRIT also sold $60
million of 6.898% unsecured Mandatory Par Put Remarketed Securities ("MOPPRS")
at an effective borrowing rate through the remarketing date (February 2008) of
approximately 6.74%. WRIT used the proceeds of these notes for general business
purposes, including repayment of $95 million of outstanding advances under its
lines of credit. WRIT used the remainder of the proceeds to finance
acquisitions and capital improvements to its properties. WRIT had four interest
rate lock agreements related to this transaction which settled for $5.4 million
and treated that settlement and the cost of a related interest rate cap
agreement as transaction costs of the borrowing. These costs are being
amortized over the life of the unsecured notes using the effective interest rate
method.
Cash flow from operating activities totaled $52.4 million, $53.6 million and
$42.5 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, including net income of $44.3 million (net of $7.9 million gain on
property sales), $41.1 million (net of $6.8 million gain on property sales) and
$30.1 million, respectively, and depreciation and amortization of $19.6 million,
$15.4 million and $10.9 million, respectively. The decrease in cash flows from
operating activities in 1999 from 1998 is primarily due to the timing of
payments for trade accounts payable. The increase in cash flows from operating
activities in 1998 from 1997 was primarily due to real estate acquisitions,
increased operating income from previously owned properties and the resultant
increase in net income.
Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $50.0 million, $68.9 million and
$152.7 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The decline in cash flows used in investing activities in 1999
from 1998 and in 1998 from 1997 is attributable to a reduction in real estate
acquisitions.
Cash flows used in financing activities were $2.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999, compared to cash flows provided by financing activities of
$12.0 million and $116.4 million for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Cash flows used in financing activities in 1999 declined from
1998 as a result of increased dividend payments in 1999, line of credit
repayments in excess of advances and no debt issuance in 1999. Cash flows
provided by financing activities declined in 1998 from 1997 due to line of
credit repayments in excess of advances, offset by net proceeds from the debt
offering in 1998.
Rental revenue has been the principal source of funds to pay WRIT's operating
expenses, interest expense and dividends to shareholders. In 1999, 1998 and
1997, WRIT paid dividends totaling $41.3 million, $39.6 million and $36.1
million, respectively.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
- --------------------
Capital improvements of $17.8 million were completed in 1999, including tenant
improvements. Capital improvements to WRIT properties in 1998 and 1997 were
approximately $18.7 million and $13.9 million, respectively.
Accretive Capital Improvements
- ------------------------------
Acquisition Related - These are capital improvements to properties acquired
during the current and preceding two years which were planned during WRIT's
investment analysis. In 1999, the most significant of these improvements were
made to the 7900 Westpark Drive, Woodburn Medical Park, Bethesda Hill
Apartments, Ammendale Technology Park II and Northern Virginia Industrial Park.
Expansions/Additions and Major Renovations - Expansions/Additions increase the
rentable area of a property. During 1999, WRIT completed the 49,000 square foot
addition at 7900 Westpark Drive. Major Renovations are improvements sufficient
to increase the income otherwise achievable at a property. During 1999, WRIT
completed the renovation of the Bradlee Shopping Center. See Expansions and
Major Renovations on Page 10 of this report for descriptions of these 1999
projects.
-16-
Tenant Improvements - Tenant Improvements are costs associated with commercial
lease transactions such as painting and carpeting. During 1999, WRIT's average
Tenant Improvement Costs per square foot of space leased were as follows:
Office $4.59
Retail $0.69
Industrial $0.55
The Retail and Industrial Tenant Improvement costs are substantially lower than
Office Improvement costs because the tenant improvements required in these
property types are substantially less extensive than in offices. WRIT's office
tenant improvement costs are among the lowest in the industry for a number of
reasons. Approximately 66% of our office tenants renew their leases with WRIT,
and renewing tenants generally require minimal tenant improvements. In
addition, lower tenant improvement costs is one of the many benefits of WRIT's
focus on leasing to smaller office tenants. Smaller office suites have limited
configuration alternatives. Therefore, WRIT is often able to lease an existing
suite with tenant improvements being limited to new paint and carpet.
Other Capital Improvements
- --------------------------
Other Capital Improvements are those not included in the above categories.
These are also referred to as recurring capital improvements. Over time these
costs will be reincurred to maintain a property's income and value. In our
residential properties, these include new appliances, flooring, cabinets,
bathroom fixtures, and the like. These improvements are made as needed upon
vacancy of an apartment and averaged $759 for the 724 apartments turned over in
1999. WRIT also expensed an average of $303 per apartment turnover for items
which do not have a long-term life and are, therefore, not capitalized.
During 1999, WRIT's capital improvement costs were as follows (in thousands):
Accretive capital improvements:
Acquisition related $ 5,716
Expansions and major renovations 5,929
Tenant improvements 2,342
-------
Total Accretive capital
improvements 13,987
Other: 3,752
-------
Total $17,739
=======
Management believes that WRIT has the liquidity and the capital resources
necessary to meet all of its known obligations and to make additional property
acquisitions and capital improvements when appropriate to enhance long-term
growth.
YEAR 2000
- ---------
WRIT's Year 2000 Project completion resulted in no interruption or failure of
normal business activities or operations. No material failures or significant
interruptions were experienced that materially or adversely affected WRIT's
results of operations, liquidity or financial condition. The total costs
incurred to become Year 2000 compliant were not material to WRIT's financial
position. Any future cost associated with Year 2000 compliancy is not expected
to be material to WRIT's financial position.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements which
involve risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements include (a)
WRIT's intention to invest in properties that it believes will continue to
increase in income and value; (b) WRIT's belief that its real estate markets
will continue to perform well; (c) WRIT's belief that renovations and other
changes at the Bradlee Shopping Center will increase traffic and enable it
-17-
to raise rents; (d) WRIT's belief that external sources of capital will continue
to be available and that additional sources of capital will be available from
the sale of shares or notes; (e) WRIT's belief that it has the liquidity and
capital resources necessary to meet its known obligations and to make additional
property acquisitions and capital improvements when appropriate to enhance long-
term growth and (f) other statements preceded by, followed by or that include
the words "believes," "expects," "intends," "anticipates," "potential" and other
similar expressions.
WRIT claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements
contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for the
foregoing statements. The following important factors, in addition to those
discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report, could affect WRIT's future results
and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the
forward-looking statements: (a) the economic health of WRIT's tenants; (b) the
economic health of the Greater Washington-Baltimore region, or other markets
they may enter, including the effects of changes in Federal government spending;
(c) inflation; (d) consumer confidence; (e) unemployment rates; (f) consumer
tastes and preferences; (g) stock price and interest rate fluctuations; (h)
WRIT's future capital requirements; (i) competition; (j) compliance with
applicable laws, including those concerning the environment and access by
persons with disabilities; (k) weather conditions and (l) the effects of changes
in capital availability to the technology and biotechnology sectors of the
economy.

The following table sets forth the Trust's ratios of earnings to fixed charges
and debt service coverage for the periods shown:

Earnings to fixed charges 1.62x 2.00x 4.08x
Debt service coverage 3.42x 3.84x 5.08x
ITEM 7A. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
- -------- ----------------------------------------------------------
The only material market risk to which WRIT is exposed is interest-rate risk.
WRIT's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily
to refinancing long-term fixed rate obligations, the opportunity cost of fixed
rate obligations in a falling interest rate environment and its variable rate
lines of credit. WRIT primarily enters into debt obligations to support general
corporate purposes including acquisition of real estate properties, capital
improvements and working capital needs. In the past WRIT has used interest rate
hedge agreements to hedge against rising interest rates in anticipation of
imminent refinancing or new debt issuance.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders of
Washington Real Estate Investment Trust:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Washington Real
Estate Investment Trust (the "Trust," a Maryland real estate investment trust)
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated
statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Trust and subsidiaries as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The financial statement schedule
included on pages 42 through 45 of the Form 10-K is presented for the
purpose of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is
not a required part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects the
financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

WASHINGTON REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997
1. Nature of Business:
Washington Real Estate Investment Trust ("WRIT" or the "Trust") is a self-
administered, self managed equity real estate investment trust, successor to a
trust organized in 1960. The Trust's business consists of the ownership and
operation of income-producing real properties.
WRIT operates in a manner intended to enable it to qualify as a real estate
investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). In accordance
with the Code, a trust which distributes its capital gains and at least 95
percent of its taxable income to its shareholders each year, and which meets
certain other conditions, will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable
income which is distributed to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for
Federal income taxes is required.
In June 1996, WRIT changed its domicile from the District of Columbia to the
State of Maryland. Issued and outstanding shares were assigned a par value of
$.01 per share.
2. Accounting Policies:
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Trust and its majority owned subsidiaries, after eliminating all intercompany
transactions.
Revenue Recognition
Residential properties are leased under operating leases with terms of generally
one year or less, and commercial properties are leased under operating leases
with average terms of three to five years. WRIT recognizes rental income and
rental abatements from its residential and commercial leases when earned in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 13.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs associated with the issuance of senior subordinated notes and draws on
lines of credit are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest rate
method over the term of the related notes.
Real Estate and Depreciation
Real estate assets are recorded at cost. Buildings are depreciated on a
straight-line basis over estimated useful lives not exceeding 50 years.
Effective January 1, 1995, WRIT revised its estimate of useful lives for major
capital improvements to real estate. All capital improvement expenditures
associated with replacements, improvements or major repairs to real property are
depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives
ranging from 3 to 30 years. All tenant improvements are amortized using the
straight-line method over 5 years or the term of the lease if it differs
significantly from 5 years. Capital improvements placed in service prior to
January 1, 1995 will continue to be depreciated on a straight-line basis over
their previously estimated useful lives not exceeding 30 years. Maintenance and
repair costs are expensed as incurred.
WRIT evaluates quarterly the carrying value of its long-lived assets in
accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." In cases where management
is holding particular properties for sale, the Trust assesses impairment based
on whether the fair value (estimated sales price less costs of disposal) of each
individual property to be sold is less than the net book value. A
-30-
property is considered to be held for sale when the Trust has made the decision
to dispose of the property. Otherwise, the Trust assesses impairment of its real
estate properties based on whether it is probable that undiscounted future cash
flows from each individual property will be less than its net book value. If a
property is determined to be impaired, its basis is adjusted to its fair market
value. There were no property impairments recognized during the three-year
period ending December 31, 1999.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include investments readily convertible to known
amounts of cash with original maturities of 90 days or less.
Interest Rate Protection Agreements
WRIT has entered into interest rate protection agreements to reduce its exposure
to interest rate risk on anticipated borrowings. The costs (if any) of such
agreements which qualify for hedge accounting are included in other assets and
are amortized over the interest rate protection agreement term. To qualify for
hedge accounting, the interest rate protection agreement must meet two criteria:
(i) the debt to be hedged exposes WRIT to interest rate risk and (ii) the
interest rate protection agreement reduces WRIT's exposure to interest rate
risk. In the event that interest rate protection agreements that qualify for
hedge accounting are terminated or are closed out, the associated gain or loss
is deferred and amortized over the term of the underlying hedged asset or
liability. Amounts to be paid or received under interest rate protection
agreements are accrued currently and are netted with interest expense for
financial statement presentation purposes. Additionally, in the event that
interest rate protection agreements do not qualify as hedges, such agreements
are reclassified to investments accounted for at fair value, with any gain or
loss included as a component of income.
Comprehensive Income
WRIT has no items of comprehensive income that would require separate reporting
in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Earnings Per Common Share
During 1997, WRIT adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." This statement
requires the computation and reporting of both "basic" and "diluted" earnings
per share.
"Basic earnings per share" is computed as net income divided by the weighted-
average common shares outstanding. "Diluted earnings per share" is computed as
net income divided by the total weighted average common shares outstanding plus
the effect of dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding for the period.
Dilutive common equivalent shares reflect the assumed issuance of additional
common shares pursuant to certain of the Trust's share based compensation plans
(see Note 8) that could potentially reduce or "dilute" earnings per share, based
on the treasury stock method.
The weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the year ended December
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, was 35.7, 35.7 and 33.4 million shares, respectively.
There was no impact of dilution of common equivalent shares on the basic
weighted-average shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998
and 1997.
Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
-31-
New Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
In June 1998, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," was issued. This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for
hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure
those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may
be specifically designated as (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair
value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b)
a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or
(c) a hedge of the foreign currency exposure to a net investment in a foreign
operation, an unrecognized firm commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a
foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transaction. SFAS No. 137 amended the
effective date of SFAS No. 133 to be effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. Although currently WRIT has no derivative
instruments, this statement could affect derivative instruments acquired by WRIT
in future periods.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.
3. Real Estate Investments:
WRIT's real estate investment portfolio, at cost, consists of properties located
in Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia as follows:
December 31,
--------------------------
1999 1998
-------- --------
(In thousands)
Office buildings $352,145 $323,152
Retail centers 97,004 95,017
Apartment buildings 99,125 83,163
Industrial distribution/flex properties 113,596 97,542
-------- --------
$661,870 $598,874
======== ========
WRIT's results of operations are dependent on the overall economic health of its
tenants and the specific segments in which WRIT holds properties, as well as the
overall economic health of the markets in which it owns property. These segments
include commercial, residential, retail and industrial/flex properties. Although
all sectors are affected by external factors, such as inflation, consumer
confidence, unemployment rates and consumer tastes and preferences, the retail
segment is particularly sensitive to such factors. A decline in the retail
sector of the economy could reduce merchant sales, which could adversely affect
the operating results of WRIT.
As of December 31, 1999, 7900 Westpark office building accounted for 13 percent
of total assets and 9 percent of total revenues. No other single property or
tenant accounted for more than 10 percent of total assets or total revenues.
Properties acquired by WRIT during the year ending December 31, 1999 are as
follows:

4. Mortgage Notes Payable:
On August 22, 1995, WRIT assumed a $7.8 million mortgage note payable as partial
consideration for its acquisition of Frederick County Square retail center. The
mortgage bears interest at 9 percent. Principal and interest are payable
monthly until January 1, 2003, at which time all unpaid principal and interest
are payable in full.
On November 30, 1998, WRIT assumed a $9.2 million mortgage note payable and a
$12.4 million mortgage note payable as partial consideration for its acquisition
of Woodburn Medical Park I and II. Both mortgages bear interest at 7.69 percent
per annum. Principal and interest are payable monthly until September 15, 2005,
at which time all unpaid principal and interest are payable in full.
On September 20, 1999, WRIT assumed an $8.7 million mortgage note payable as
partial consideration for its acquisition of the Avondale Apartments. The
mortgage bears interest at 7.88 percent per annum. Principal and interest
are payable monthly until November 1, 2005, at which time all unpaid principal
and interest are payable in full.
On September 27, 1999, WRIT executed a $50.0 million mortgage note payable
secured by Munson Hill Towers, Country Club Towers, Roosevelt Towers, Park Adams
Apartments and the Ashby Apartments. The mortgage bears interest at 7.14
percent per annum and is payable monthly until October 1, 2009, at which time
all unpaid principal and interest are payable in full. These funds were used to
repay advances received on the Unsecured Lines of Credit Payable.

5. Unsecured Lines of Credit Payable:
During 1999, WRIT maintained two unsecured lines of credit: a $25 million line
of credit ("Credit Facility No. 1") and a $50 million line of credit ("Credit
Facility No. 2").
Credit Facility No. 1
WRIT had $22 and $0 million outstanding as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, related to Credit Facility No. 1.
The following advances have been made under this commitment:
Advance Date Paid Amount 1999 1998 1997
Date in Full (In thousands) Rate Rate Rate
------- --------- -------------- ---- ---- ----
September 26, 1996 September 26, 1997 4,000 -- -- 6.83%
November 14, 1997 February 25, 1998 25,000 -- 6.64%-8.50% 6.40%-6.64%
March 29, 1999 March 28, 2000 4,000 5.98% -- --
May 20, 1999 July 19, 1999 12,000 5.67% -- --
July 20, 1999 January 20, 2000 12,000 6.30% -- --
September 15, 1999 March 15, 2000 6,000 6.64% -- --
Prior to March 17, 1999, all new advances and interest rate adjustments, upon
the expiration of WRIT's interest lock-in dates bore interest at LIBOR plus a
spread based on WRIT's public debt rating. All unpaid interest and principal
could be prepaid prior to the expiration of WRIT's interest rate lock-in periods
subject to a yield maintenance obligation.
On March 17, 1999, WRIT executed an amended and restated agreement extending the
termination date to March 17, 2002. Under the amended agreement, WRIT may take
either a Corporate Base Rate ("CBR") or a LIBOR advance. Both advances have
interest rates based on the applicable rate plus a spread based on the most
recent ratings from Moody's and/or S&P for WRIT's long-term unsecured debt.
This $25 million credit commitment requires WRIT to pay the lender an unused
commitment fee at the rate of 0.375 percent per annum on the amount by which the
$25 million commitment exceeds the balance of outstanding advances and term
loans. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, $3 million and $25.0 , respectively, of
this commitment was unused and available for subsequent acquisitions or capital
improvements. This fee is paid quarterly. This commitment also contains certain
financial and non-financial covenants including debt service coverage, net
worth, and permitted indebtedness ratios which WRIT has met as of December 31,
1999. In addition, this commitment requires approval to be obtained from the
lender for purchases by the Trust over an agreed upon amount.
Credit Facility No. 2
WRIT had $11 million and $44 million outstanding as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively, related to Credit Facility No. 2.

On July 25, 1999, WRIT executed an agreement to amend and restate the original
Credit Facility No. 2 agreement. All unpaid interest and principal are due July
2002 and can be prepaid prior to this date without any prepayment fee or yield
maintenance obligation. Any new advances shall bear interest at LIBOR plus a
spread based on WRIT's public debt rating.
Credit Facility No. 2 provides WRIT the option to convert any advances or
portions thereof into a term loan at any time through July 2002. The principal
amount of each term loan, if any, shall be repaid in July 2002.
This $50 million credit commitment requires WRIT to pay the lender an unused
commitment fee ranging from 0.15 to 0.25 percent per annum based on WRIT's
public debt rating. The fee is paid on the amount by which the $50 million
commitment exceeds the balance of outstanding advances and term loans. At
December 31, 1999 and 1998, $39 million and $6 million, respectively, of this
commitment was unused. This fee is paid quarterly in arrears. This commitment
also contains certain financial covenants including cash flow to debt service,
net worth, capitalization and permitted indebtedness ratios which WRIT has met
as of December 31, 1999.
Bridge Loan
During 1997, WRIT temporarily expanded one of its lines of credit to provide up
to an additional $20.25 million through February 27, 1998, at which time it was
repaid. The bridge loan accrued interest at LIBOR plus 0.70 percent. At
February 27, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the interest rate was 8.50 percent and
6.64 percent, respectively.
WRIT was required to pay a commitment fee equal to 0.10 percent of the
commitment. The bridge loan also required WRIT to pay the lender an unused
commitment fee at the rate of 0.175 percent on the amount that the $20.25
million commitment exceeded the balance of outstanding advances.

Weighted Average Interest Rate 5.93% 6.38%
6. Senior and Medium-Term Notes Payable:
Senior Notes
On August 8, 1996, WRIT entered into an underwriting agreement to sell $50
million of 7.125 percent 7-year unsecured notes due August 13, 2003, and $50
million of 7.25 percent unsecured 10-year notes due August 13, 2006. This
transaction closed on August 13, 1996. The 7-year notes were sold at 99.107
percent of par and the 10-year notes were sold at 98.166 percent of par. Net
proceeds to the Trust after deducting underwriting expenses were $97.6 million.
The 7-year notes bear an effective interest rate of 7.46 percent, and the 10-
year notes bear an effective interest rate of 7.49 percent, for a combined
effective interest rate of 7.47 percent. In 1996, WRIT used the proceeds of
these notes to pay down its lines of credit and to finance acquisitions and
capital improvements to its properties. These notes also contain certain
financial covenants including debt service coverage and permitted indebtedness
ratios which WRIT has met as of December 31, 1999.
Medium-Term Notes
On February 20, 1998, WRIT sold $50 million of 7.25 percent unsecured notes due
February 25, 2028 at 98.653 percent to yield approximately 7.36 percent. WRIT
also sold $60 million in unsecured Mandatory Par Put Remarketed Securities
("MOPPRS") at an effective borrowing rate through the remarketing date (February
2008) of approximately 6.74 percent. WRIT used the proceeds of these notes for
general business purposes, including repayment of outstanding advances under its
lines of credit and to finance acquisitions and capital improvements to its
properties. WRIT settled interest rate lock agreements for $5.4 million and
treated the cost of the interest rate caps as a transaction cost of the
borrowing. These costs are amortized over the life of the unsecured notes using
the effective interest rate method. These notes also contain certain financial
covenants including debt service coverage and permitted indebtedness ratios,
which WRIT has met as of December 31, 1999.
7. Shares of Beneficial Interest and Dividends:
In August 1997, WRIT received $61.1 million from the public sale of 3,750,000
shares. WRIT's offering costs were approximately $200,000, resulting in net
proceeds received by the Trust of $60.9 million. Approximately $23.0 million of
the net proceeds was used to repay certain borrowings outstanding under the
Trust's lines of credit resulting from 1997 property acquisitions. The balance
of the net proceeds was used to acquire income producing properties and for
capital improvements.
The following is a breakdown of the taxable percentage of WRIT's dividends for
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively:
Ordinary Income Return of Capital
--------------- -----------------
1999 100% 0%
1998 98% 2%
1997 93% 7%
-36-
8. Share Options and Grants:
WRIT maintains an Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), which includes
qualified and non-qualified options. As of December 31, 1999, 1.5 million
shares may be awarded to eligible employees. Under the Plan, options, which are
issued at market price on the date of grant, vest after not more than two years
and expire ten years following the date of grant. Options may be granted under
the Plan at any time prior to June 25, 2001. Activity under the Plan is
summarized below:
1999 1998 1997
--------------------- ------------------- --------------------
Wtd Avg Wtd Avg Wtd Avg
Shares Ex Price Shares Ex Price Shares Ex Price
------ -------- ------ -------- ------ --------
Outstanding at January 1 806,000 $16.83 409,000 $15.93 365,000 $14.78
Granted 513,000 14.47 430,000 17.59 183,000 16.13
Exercised (12,000) 15.89 (8,000) 12.41 (125,000) 12.58
Expired (34,000) 17.28 (25,000) 16.76 (14,000) 18.33
Outstanding at December 31 1,273,000 15.87 806,000 16.83 409,000 15.93
Exercisable at December 31 560,000 16.54 288,000 15.90 173,000 15.84
560,000 of the exercisable options outstanding at December 31, 1999 have
exercise prices between $12.410 and $20.625, with a weighted-average exercise
price of $16.54 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 7.53 years.
The remaining 713,000 options have exercise prices between $14.47 and $17.59,
with a weighted average exercise price of $15.35 and a remaining contractual
life of 9.72 years.
WRIT accounts for the Plan and the non-qualified share options granted under APB
Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation cost has been recognized. Had
compensation cost for these plans been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," WRIT's net income and earnings per
share would have been reduced to the following pro-forma amounts:
1999 1998 1997
------ ------ ------
Net Income: As Reported $44,301 $41,064 $30,136
Pro-Forma 43,419 40,240 29,780
Basic Earnings Per Share: As Reported 1.24 1.15 0.90
Pro-Forma 1.22 1.13 0.89
Weighted-average fair value of options
granted 1.76 1.92 1.94
Weighted-average assumptions:
Expected lives (years) 7 7 7
Risk free interest rate 6.42% 5.09% 5.75%
Expected volatility 21.05% 19.21% 17.41%
Expected dividend yield 7.12% 6.27% 5.79%
Because the method of accounting has not been applied to options granted prior
to January 1, 1995, the resulting pro-forma compensation may not be
representative of that to be expected in future years. The assumptions used in
the calculations of weighted average fair value of options granted are as
prescribed under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Such assumptions may not be the same as those used by the financial community
and others in determining the fair value of such options.
WRIT has computed basic earnings per share. There was no impact of dilution of
common equivalent shares on the basic weighted-average shares outstanding for
the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997.
During 1999 and 1998, WRIT issued 12,299 and 9,692 share grants, respectively,
to executives and trustees of the Trust. The respective compensation expense
was recorded based upon the share price at the grant date. Share grants are
awarded by the compensation committee of the Board of Trustees.
-37-
9. Benefit Plans:
During 1996, management adopted an Incentive Compensation Plan ("the
Compensation Plan") for its senior personnel which is intended to align their
compensation growth with shareholders' interests. Essentially, the Compensation
Plan limits future salary increases and provides cash bonus incentives, share
options under the Incentive Share Option Plan and share grants under the Share
Grant Plan based on performance. The financial incentives to management are
earned after WRIT has achieved a prescribed level of growth. This plan is
effective from 1996 forward and is reviewed by the Board of Trustees'
Compensation Committee each year.
In 1997, WRIT implemented a Retirement Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan"). It
was established so that participants in the Savings Plan may elect to contribute
a portion of their earnings to the Savings Plan and WRIT may, at its discretion,
make a voluntary contribution to the Savings Plan.
WRIT maintained a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for all eligible
employees through December 31, 1995. At December 31, 1995, all benefit accruals
under the plan were frozen and thus the projected benefit obligation ("PBO") and
the accumulated benefit obligation ("ABO") became equal. WRIT terminated the
plan as of December 31, 1999. Since there are no further benefit accruals
provided under the plan, WRIT has substantially reduced its funding obligation
and there will be no further increases in the ABO or PBO. Benefits under the
plan were generally based on years of service and final average pay. Pension
costs are accrued and funded annually from plan entry date in the plan to
projected retirement date and include service costs for benefits earned during
the period and interest costs on the projected benefit obligation less the
return on plan assets. The effects of the pension plan are immaterial to WRIT's
financial statements.
10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure of the
fair value of financial instruments. Whenever possible the estimated fair value
has been determined using quoted market information as of December 31, 1999.
The estimated fair value information presented is not necessarily indicative of
amounts the Trust could realize currently in a market sale since the Trust may
be unable to sell such instruments due to contractual restrictions or the lack
of an established market. The estimated market values have not been updated
since December 31, 1999, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ
significantly from the amounts presented.
Below is a summary of significant methodologies used in estimating fair values
and a schedule of fair values at December 31, 1999.
Cash and cash equivalents
Includes cash and commerical paper with remaining maturities of less than 90
days, which are valued at the carrying value.
Mortgage notes payable
Mortgage notes payable consist of instruments in which certain of the Trust's
real estate assets are used for collateral. The fair value of the mortgage
notes payable is estimated based upon published rates or dealer quotes for
instruments with similar terms and maturities.
Lines of credit payable
Lines of credit payable consist of bank facilities which the Trust uses for
various purposes including working capital, acquisition funding or capital
improvements. The lines of credit advances are priced at a specified rate plus
a spread. The carrying value of the lines of credit payable is estimated to be
market value since the interest rate adjusts with the market.
Notes payable
Notes payable consists of $50 million, 7.125 %, 7 year unsecured notes due
August 13, 2003, $50 million, 7.25%, 10 year unsecured notes due August 13,
2006, $50 million, 7.25%, 20 year unsecured notes due February 25, 2028 and $60
million unsecured Mandatory Par Put Remarketed Securities with an effective
yield of 6.74%. The fair value of these securities is estimated based on
published rates or dealer quotes for securities with similar terms and
characteristics.

Notes payable $210,000 $192,420 $210,000 $202,900
11. Rentals Under Operating Leases:
Noncancellable commercial operating leases provide for minimum rental income
during each of the next five years of approximately $79.6 million, $69.0
million, $50.6 million, $38.0 million, $27.0 million and $63.0 million
thereafter. Apartment leases are not included as they are generally for one
year. Most of these commercial leases increase in future years-based on changes
in the Consumer Price Index or agreed-upon percentages. Contingent rentals from
the shopping centers, based on a percentage of tenants' gross sales, were
$425,000, $462,000 and $351,000 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
12. Contingencies:
In the normal course of business, WRIT is involved in various types of pending
or unasserted claims. In the opinion of management, these claims will not have
a material impact on the financial condition or future operations of the Trust.
13. Segment Information:
WRIT has four reportable segments: Office Buildings, Industrial/Flex
Properties, Apartment Buildings, and Retail Centers. Office Buildings represent
52 percent of real estate rental revenue and provide office space for various
types of businesses. Industrial/Flex Properties represent 14 percent of real
estate rental revenue and are used for warehousing and distribution. Apartment
Buildings represent 19 percent of real estate rental revenue and provide housing
for families throughout the Washington Metropolitan area. Retail Centers
represent 15 percent of real estate rental revenue and are retail outlets for a
variety of stores.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies. WRIT evaluates performance based
upon income from real estate from the combined properties in each segment.
-39-
WRIT's reportable segments are a consolidation of related properties, which
offer different products. They are managed separately because each segment
requires different operating, pricing and leasing strategies. All of the
properties have been acquired separately and are incorporated into the
applicable segment.
