BOSTON PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited and in thousands)

1. Organization

Boston Properties, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, is a
self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT").
The Company is the sole general partner of Boston Properties Limited
Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") and at March 31, 2001, owned an
approximate 74% general and limited partnership interest in the Operating
Partnership. Partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are
denominated as "common units of partnership interest" (also referred to as
"OP Units") or "preferred units of partnership interest" (also referred to
as "Preferred Units"). All references to OP Units and Preferred Units
exclude such units held by the Company. A holder of an OP Unit may present
such OP Unit to the Operating Partnership for redemption at any time
(subject to restrictions agreed upon the issuance of OP Units to particular
holders that may restrict such right for a period of time, generally one
year from issuance). Upon presentation of an OP Unit for redemption, the
Operating Partnership must redeem such OP Unit for cash equal to the then
value of a share of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock"), except
that, the Company may, at its election, in lieu of a cash redemption,
acquire such OP Unit for one share of Common Stock. Because the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding at all times equals the number of OP
Units that the Company owns, one share of Common Stock is generally the
economic equivalent of one OP Unit, and the quarterly distribution that may
be paid to the holder of an OP Unit equals the quarterly dividend that may
be paid to the holder of a share of Common Stock. Each series of Preferred
Units bear a distribution that is set in accordance with an amendment to
the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership. Preferred Units may
also be convertible into OP Units at the election of the holder thereof or
the Company.

All references to the Company refer to Boston Properties, Inc. and its
subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership, collectively, unless the
context otherwise requires.

To assist the Company in maintaining its status as a REIT, the Company
leases its three hotel properties, pursuant to a lease with a participation
in the gross receipts of such hotel properties, to a lessee ("ZL Hotel
LLC") in which Messrs. Zuckerman and Linde, the Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer, respectively, are the sole member-managers.
Messrs. Zuckerman and Linde have a 9.8% economic interest in such lessee
and one or more unaffiliated public charities have a 90.2% economic
interest. Marriott International, Inc. manages these hotel properties under
the Marriott name pursuant to a management agreement with the lessee. Under
the REIT requirements, revenue from a hotel is not considered to be rental
income for purposes of certain income tests that a REIT must meet.
Accordingly, in order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company
has entered into the participating leases described above to provide
revenue that qualifies as rental income under the REIT requirements.

As of March 31, 2001, the Company and the Operating Partnership had
89,701,122 and 20,903,474 shares of Common Stock and OP Units outstanding,
respectively. In addition, the Company had 2,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock and the Operating Partnership had 9,346,033 Preferred Units
outstanding.

The Properties:

As of March 31, 2001, the Company owns a portfolio of 146 commercial
real estate properties (145 and 139 properties at December 31, 2000 and
March 31, 2000, respectively) (the "Properties") aggregating over 39.2
million square feet. The properties consist of 136 office properties with
approximately 31.4 million net rentable square feet (including 15
properties under development expected to contain approximately 5.4 million
net rentable square feet) and approximately 6.0 million additional square
feet of structured parking for 17,179 vehicles, seven industrial properties
with approximately 0.8 million net rentable square feet and three hotels
with a total of 1,054 rooms (consisting of approximately 0.9 million square
feet). In addition, the Company owns, has under contract, or has an option
to acquire 48 parcels of land totaling approximately 556.9 acres, which
will support approximately 9.6 million square feet of development.

2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include all the
accounts of the Company, its majority-owned Operating Partnership and
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto contained in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31,
2000.

The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited; however,
the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim
financial

information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring
matters) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for
these interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
obtained for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year.

Certain prior-year balances have been reclassified in order to conform
to the current-year presentation.

3. Real Estate Activity During the Quarter Ended March 31, 2001

On February 13, 2001, the Company acquired a 4.3-acre parcel of land
at 77 Fourth Avenue in Waltham, Massachusetts for cash of approximately
$13.0 million.

On March 30, 2001, the Company disposed of 25-33 Dartmouth Street in
Westwood, Massachusetts, an industrial building totaling approximately
78,000 square feet. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $6.6
million, resulting in a gain on sale of approximately $4.7 million (net of
minority interest share of approximately $1.1 million).

10. Segment Information

The Company's segments are based on the Company's method of internal
reporting which classifies its operations by both geographic area and
property type. The Company's segments by geographic area are: Greater
Boston, Greater Washington, D.C., Midtown Manhattan, Greater San Francisco,
and New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Segments by property type include: Class A
Office, Office/Technical, Industrial and Hotels.

Asset information by segment is not reported since the Company does
not use this measure to assess performance, therefore, the depreciation and
amortization expenses are not allocated among segments. Interest income,
management and development services, interest expense and general and
administrative expenses are not included in net operating income as the
internal reporting addresses these on a corporate level.

11. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No. 138 ("SFAS No.
133"), as of January 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. It requires the
recognition of all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities in the
Company's consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in the fair value
of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges or that do not meet
the hedge accounting criteria in SFAS No. 133 are required to be reported
through earnings. For derivatives designated as hedging instruments in
qualifying cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in fair value of
the derivatives are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
until the forecasted transactions occur and the ineffective portions are
recognized in earnings.

On the date that the Company enters into a derivative contract, it
designates the derivative as (1) a hedge of the variability of cash flows that
are to be received or paid in connection with a recognized liability (a "cash
flow" hedge), or (2) an instrument that is held for non-hedging purposes (a
"non-hedging" instrument). Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is
highly effective as and that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge,
to the extent that the hedge is effective, are recorded in other comprehensive
income, until earnings are affected by the hedged transaction (i.e. until
periodic settlements of a variable-rate liability are recorded in earnings).
Any hedge ineffectiveness (which represents the amount by which the changes in
the fair value of the derivative exceed the variability in the cash flows of the
forecasted transaction) is recorded in current-period earnings. Changes in the
fair value of non-hedging instruments are reported in current-period earnings.

The Company occasionally purchases a financial instrument in which a
derivative instrument is "embedded." Upon purchasing the financial instrument,
the Company assesses whether the economic characteristics of the embedded
derivative are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of
the remaining component of the financial instrument (i.e. the host contract)
and whether a separate, non-embedded instrument with the same terms as the
embedded instrument would meet the definition of a derivative instrument. When
it is determined that (1) the embedded derivative possesses economic
characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the economic
characteristics of the host contract and (2) a separate, stand-alone instrument
with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, the embedded
derivative is separated from the host contract, carried at fair value, and
designated as either (1) a fair-value or cash flow hedge or (2) a trading or
non-hedging derivative instrument. However, if the entire contract were to be
measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in current earnings,
or if the Company could not reliably identify and measure the embedded
derivative for purposes of separating that derivative from its host contract,
the entire contract would be carried on the balance sheet at fair value and not
be designated as a hedging instrument. Pursuant to SFAS No. 137, the Company
has selected January 1, 1999 as the transition date for embedded derivatives.

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging
instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and
strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes
linking all derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges to (1) specific
assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or (2) forecasted transactions. The
Company also assesses and documents, both at the hedging instrument's inception
and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging
transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows associated
with the hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not (or has
ceased to be) highly effective as a hedge, the Company discontinues hedge
accounting prospectively, as discussed below.

The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when (1) it
determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in
the cash flows of a hedged item; (2) the derivative expires or is sold,
terminated, or exercised; (3) it is no longer probable that the forecasted
transaction will occur; or (4) management determines that designating the
derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.

When the Company discontinues hedge accounting because it is no longer
probable that the forecasted transaction will occur in the originally expected
period, the gain or loss on the derivative remains in accumulated other
comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings when the forecasted
transaction affects earnings. However, if it is probable that a forecasted
transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period or
within an additional two-month period of time thereafter, the gains and losses
that were accumulated in other comprehensive income will be recognized
immediately in earnings. In all situations in which hedge accounting is
discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the Company will carry the
derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet, recognizing changes in the
fair value in current-period earnings.

The Company has entered into interest rate protection agreements generally
for the purpose of fixing interest rates on variable rate construction loans in
order to reduce the budgeted interest costs on the Company's development
projects, which would translate into higher returns on investment as the
development projects come on-line. The interest rate protection agreements have
a notional amount of $450.0 million and provide for a fixed interest rate when
LIBOR is less than 5.76% and when LIBOR is greater than 6.35% or 7.95% for terms
ranging from three to five years through February 2005. In addition, the Company
has an interest rate swap agreement for a total of $213.0 million which provides
for a fixed interest rate of 6.0% through September 2002. Certain of the
Company's interest rate protection agreements have been designated as cash flow
hedging instruments. Other derivatives are not linked to specific assets or
liabilities but are used by the Company to manage risk of the overall portfolio.
Amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the
effective portion of cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings over
the estimated life of the constructed asset. No material amounts are expected to
be reclassified within the next twelve months.

Upon adoption of SFAS No. 133, the Company recorded an asset of
approximately $0.2 million (included in prepaid expenses and other assets) and
recorded a liability of approximately $11.4 million for the fair values of these
agreements. The offset for these entries was to a cumulative effect of a change
in accounting principle and accumulated other comprehensive loss, respectively.
Finally, the Company wrote-off deferred charges of approximately $1.6 million as
a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle

The Company's derivatives also include investments in warrants to purchase
shares of common stock of other companies. Based on the terms of the warrant
agreements, the warrants meet the definition of a derivative and accordingly
must be marked to fair value through earnings. The Company had been recording
the warrants at fair value through accumulated other comprehensive loss as
available-for-sale securities under SFAS No. 115. Upon adoption of SFAS No.
133, the Company reclassified approximately $6.9 million, the fair value of the
warrants, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to a cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle.

For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company recorded derivative
gains (losses) of approximately ($6.0) million, $3.3 million and ($0.3) million
through earnings, which represented the total ineffectiveness of all cash flow
hedges and other non-hedging instruments, the changes in value of the embedded
derivatives and the change in value of the warrants, respectively. All
components of each derivative's gain or loss were included in the assessment of
hedge effectiveness, except for the time value of option contracts. In
addition, the Company recorded unrealized derivative losses through other
comprehensive income of approximately $2.5 million.

12. Subsequent Event

On April 25, 2001, the Company, through a joint venture arrangement,
completed its acquisition of the 59-floor 1.6 million net rentable square
foot Citigroup Center located in New York City at a purchase price,
including closing costs, of approximately $755.0 million. The joint venture
acquired Citigroup Center from Dai-Ichi Life Investment Properties, Inc.
The Company has invested approximately $195.0 million in cash and its joint
venture partner contributed approximately $35.0 million in cash. The joint
venture funded the remaining purchase price with new mortgage financing
totaling approximately $525.0 million. The Company will consolidate this
joint venture. The Company will be responsible for managing and leasing the
property.
ITEM 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. This Report on
Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning the federal
securities laws. Actual results or developments could differ materially from
those projected in such statements as a result of certain factors set forth in
the section below entitled "Certain Factors Affecting Future Operating Results"
and elsewhere in this report.

From January 1, 2000 through March 31, 2001, the Company increased its in-
service portfolio from 136 properties to 146 properties (the "Total Portfolio").
As a result of the growth in the Company's Total Portfolio, the financial data
presented below shows significant changes in revenue and expenses from period to
period. The Company does not believe that its period-to-period financial data
are comparable. Therefore, the comparison of operating results for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 show separately changes attributable to the
properties that were owned by the Company for all of each period compared (the
"Same Property Portfolio") and the changes attributable to the Total Portfolio.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2001 to the three months ended
March 31, 2000.

The table below reflects selected operating information for the Same
Property Portfolio and the Total Portfolio. The Same Property Portfolio consists
of the 116 properties acquired or placed in service on or prior to January 1,
2000 and owned by the Company through March 31, 2001.

</TABLE>


The increase in rental revenue in the Same Property Portfolio is primarily
a result of an overall increase in rental rates on new leases and rollovers, as
well as an increase of $2.1 million in recoveries and $1.1 million of lease
termination fees recognized during the quarter. The increase in revenue from
rental revenue from properties in the Total Portfolio was a result of an
increase in revenue from the Same Property offset by a net decrease in the
remaining portfolio resulting from a decrease due to the sale of 25-33 Dartmouth
and a small decrease in occupancy offset by an increase related to revenue
earned on the properties placed in service after January 1, 2000.
The increase in development and management services revenue is mainly due
an incentive fee of approximately $0.5 million received on a development project
resulting from meeting certain development deadlines.

The increase in interest and other revenue is due to higher average cash
balances maintained during the quarter ended March 31, 2001 as a result of the
public offering in October 2000, as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
2000.

Property operating expenses (real estate taxes, utilities, repairs and
maintenance, cleaning and other property related expenses) in the Same Property
Portfolio increased due to a $2.3 million increase in utilities, a $1.6 million
increase in real estate taxes, and miscellaneous increases in other operating
expenses. The additional increase in the Total Portfolio is due to the
properties acquired or placed-in-service after January 1, 2000 offset by the
properties sold prior to March 31, 2001.

General and administrative expenses increased due to write offs of
approximately $0.7 million related to abandoned project costs and overall
increase in compensation.

Interest expense decreased mainly as no interest was incurred on the
Unsecured Line of Credit (due to the zero balance). This was offset by increases
resulting from additional interest on construction loans resulting from new
construction loans and additional draws on the existing construction loans.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the Same Property Portfolio
increased due to additional depreciation related to improvements on existing
properties. The increase in the Total Portfolio was due to the increase in the
Same Property Portfolio and an increase resulting from the properties acquired
or placed-in-service after January 1, 2000 offset by a small decrease resulting
from lower depreciation resulting from the sale of properties after January 1,
2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's consolidated indebtedness at March 31, 2001 was approximately $3.5
billion and bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of approximately
7.26% per annum. Based on the Company's total market capitalization at March 31,
2001 of approximately $8.2 billion, the Company's consolidated debt represents
41.9% of its total market capitalization.

The Company has a $605 million Unsecured Line of Credit with Fleet National
Bank, as agent. The Company uses the Unsecured Line of Credit principally to
facilitate its development and acquisition activities and for working capital
purposes. As of May 10, 2001, the Company had $111.2 million drawn under the
Unsecured Line of Credit.

The following represents the outstanding principal balances due under the first

The Company has determined that its estimated cash flows and available sources
of liquidity are adequate to meet liquidity needs for the next twelve months.
The Company believes that its principal liquidity needs for the next twelve
months are to fund normal recurring expenses, debt service requirements, current
development costs not covered under construction loans and the minimum
distribution required to maintain its REIT qualifications under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company believes that these needs will be
fully funded from cash flows provided by operating and financing activities.
The Company's operating properties and hotels require periodic investments of
capital for tenant-related capital expenditures and for general capital
improvements. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company's
recurring capital expenditures totaled $2.7 million, $2.3 million, and $8.4
million for general capital expenditures, hotel capital expenditures, and tenant
improvement and leasing commissions, respectively.

The Company expects to meet its liquidity requirements for periods beyond twelve
months of the cost of property developments, property acquisitions, scheduled
debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital
improvements through construction loans, the incurrence of long-term secured and
unsecured indebtedness, income from operations and sales of real estate and
possibly the issuance of additional common and preferred units of Boston
Properties Limited Partnership and equity securities of Boston Properties, Inc.
In addition, the Company may finance the development, redevelopment or
acquisition of additional properties by using the Unsecured Line of Credit.

The Company had construction projects in process, which require commitments to
fund to completion. Commitments under these arrangements totaled approximately
$1,039.0 million as of March 31, 2001. In addition, the Company has options to
acquire land that require minimum deposits that the Company will fund using
available cash or the Unsecured Line of Credit.

The Company had investments in securities of approximately $6.1 million at March
31, 2001. In accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No.115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS
115"), the Company has classified $1.8 million of the investment in securities
as available for sale and recorded them at fair value. Investments in securities
of non-publicly traded companies totaling $4.3 million have been recorded at
cost as they are not considered marketable under SFAS 115. Currently, the
Company has $5.5 million of unrealized losses relating to the SFAS 115
securities in other comprehensive income. The Company considers the decline in
market value to be "temporary". If the market value for these securities does
not recover in the second quarter of 2001, the Company may consider the decrease
to be "other than temporary" and if so, will write down the value of the
securities through earnings to the fair value of the assets at June 30, 2001, in
accordance with SFAS 115.

Funds from Operations

Management believes that Funds from Operations (" FFO") is helpful to investors
as a measure of the performance of an equity REIT because, along with cash flows
from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities, it
provides investors with an understanding of the ability of the Company to incur
and service debt, to make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs. In
accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (
"NAREIT") revised definition of FFO, the Company calculated FFO by adjusting net
income (loss) (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States, including non-recurring items), for gains (or
losses) from sales of properties (except gains and losses from sales of
depreciable operating properties), real estate related depreciation and
amortization and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company's
FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the
term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the
NAREIT definition differently. FFO does not represent cash generated from
operating activities determined in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered as an
alternative to net income (determined in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States) as a measure of the Company's
liquidity, not is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company's cash
needs, including its ability to make cash distributions.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Company recorded a non-cash
adjustment of approximately $(3.1) million related to the application of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133 "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 137 and 138 ("SFAS 133"). As a result, the
Company's Funds from Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are
not comparable to the Funds from Operations for the same period in the prior
year as SFAS 133 was adopted on January 1, 2001.

Certain Factors Affecting Future Operating Results

This Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
the federal securities laws regarding the Company's business, strategies,
revenues, expenditures and operating and capital requirements. The following
factors, among others, could cause actual results, performance or achievements
of the Company to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the
forward-looking statements made in this report: general risks affecting the real
estate industry (including, without limitation, the inability to enter into or
renew leases, dependence on tenants' financial condition, and competition from
other developers, owners and operators of real estate); risks associated with
the availability and terms of financing and the use of debt to fund acquisitions
and developments; failure to manage effectively the Company's growth and
expansion into new markets or to integrate acquisitions successfully; risks and
uncertainties affecting property development and construction (including,
without limitation, construction
delays, cost overruns, inability to obtain necessary permits and public
opposition to such activities); risks associated with downturns in the national
and local economies, increases in interest rates, and volatility in the
securities markets; costs of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act
and other similar laws; potential liability for uninsured losses and
environmental contamination; risks associated with the Company's potential
failure to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and possible adverse changes in tax and environmental laws; and risks
associated with the Company's dependence on key personnel whose continued
service is not guaranteed.

Inflation

Substantially all of the office leases provide for separate real estate tax and
operating expense escalations over a base amount. In addition, many of the
leases provide for fixed base rent increases or indexed increases. The Company
believes that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by the
contractual rent increases described above.
ITEM 3  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and
interest rates. The primary market risk facing the Company is mortgage debt,
which bears interest primarily at fixed rates, and therefore, the fair value of
these instruments is affected by changes in the market interest rates. The
following table presents principal cash flows (in thousands) based upon maturity
dates of the debt obligations and the related weighted average interest rates by
expected maturity dates for the fixed rate debt. The interest rate of the
variable rate debt as of March 31, 2001 ranged from LIBOR plus 1.00% to LIBOR
plus 2.00%. At March 31, 2001, the Company was a party to three hedge contracts
for a total of $450.0 million. The agreements provide for a fixed interest rate
when LIBOR is less than 5.76% and when LIBOR is greater than 6.35% or 7.95% for
terms remaining of two to four years. In addition, we have an interest rate
swap agreement for a total of $213.0 million which provides for a fixed interest
rate of 6.0% through September 11, 2002.
