WASHINGTON REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2012

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS

Washington Real Estate Investment Trust (“We” or “WRIT”), a Maryland real estate investment trust, is a self-administered, self-managed equity real estate investment trust, successor to a trust organized in 1960. Our business consists of the ownership and development of income-producing real estate properties in the greater Washington metro region. We own a diversified portfolio of office buildings, medical office buildings, multifamily buildings and retail centers.

Federal Income Taxes

We believe that we qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code and intend to continue to qualify as such. To maintain our status as a REIT, we are required to distribute 90% of our ordinary taxable income to our shareholders. When selling properties, we have the option of (a) reinvesting the sales proceeds of properties sold, allowing for a deferral of income taxes on the sale, (b) paying out capital gains to the shareholders with no tax to WRIT or (c) treating the capital gains as having been distributed to the shareholders, paying the tax on the gain deemed distributed and allocating the tax paid as a credit to the shareholders.

Generally, and subject to our ongoing qualification as a REIT, no provisions for income taxes are necessary except for taxes on undistributed REIT taxable income and taxes on the income generated by our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS’s”). Our TRS’s are subject to corporate federal and state income tax on their taxable income at regular statutory rates. During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, we recorded $0.2 million in income tax expense related to temporary differences in the timing of the recognition of revenue, amortization and depreciation in our TRS's. We included this expense in general and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of income.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Significant Accounting Policies

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements using the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement, which requires new disclosures about fair value measurements. Specifically, additional disclosures are required regarding significant unobservable inputs used for Level 3 fair value measurements, a company's valuation process, transfers between Levels 1 and 2, and hierarchy classifications for items whose fair value is not recorded on the balance sheet, but disclosed in the notes. For WRIT, the primary impact of this ASU was to require disclosure of the hierarchy classifications (Level 1, 2 or 3) for our disclosures of the fair values of financial instruments in our notes to the consolidated financial statements. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2012.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income, which requires the presentation of comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU eliminates the option of presenting the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders' equity. This ASU is effective for fiscal years (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2012 with the presentation of a separate statement of comprehensive income.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of WRIT, its majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which WRIT has a controlling interest, including where WRIT has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In addition, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been included. These unaudited financial statements should be read

in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Within these notes to the financial statements, we refer to the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 as the “2012 Quarter” and the “2011 Quarter”, respectively, and the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 as the “2012 Period” and the “2011 Period”, respectively.

Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.

Reclassifications

During the 2012 Quarter, we identified certain immaterial classification errors in our consolidated statements of income and have determined that in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and future periodic reports we will correct these reclassification errors by including within the subtotal “real estate operating income” impairment charges and acquisition costs, which had previously been included in “other income (expense).” These reclassifications totaled $18.1 million, $1.2 million, $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, $0.1 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, and $0.3 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. These reclassifications will decrease “real estate operating income” and will increase “other income (expense)” by an equal and offsetting amount. As a result, these reclassifications will not change income from continuing operations, net income, cash flows or any other operating measure for the periods affected.

In addition, certain prior year amounts have also been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation due to the reclassification of certain properties as discontinued operations (see note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).

NOTE 3: REAL ESTATE

Acquisition

We acquired the following property during the 2012 Period:



Acquisition Date	Property Name	Property Type	Rentable Square Feet	Contract Purchase Price (in thousands)
June 21, 2012	Fairgate at Ballston	Office	147,000	$	52,250

The results of operations from the acquired property are included in the consolidated statements of income as of its acquisition date and are immaterial for the nine days that we owned the property during the 2012 Period. The difference in the contract purchase price and the cash paid for the acquisition per the consolidated statements of cash flows is due to credits received at settlement totaling $0.1 million.

Variable Interest Entities

On June 15, 2011, we executed a joint venture operating agreement with a real estate development company to develop a mid-rise multifamily property at 650 North Glebe Road in Arlington, Virginia. We estimate the total cost of the project to be $45.0 million, with approximately 70% of the project financed with debt. WRIT is the 90% owner of the joint venture, and will have management and leasing responsibilities when the project is completed and stabilized (defined as 90% of the residential units leased). The real estate development company owns 10% of the joint venture and is responsible for the development and construction of the property. The joint venture currently expects to complete this development project during the third quarter of 2014.

On November 23, 2011, we executed a joint venture operating agreement with a real estate development company to develop a high-rise multifamily property at 1219 First Street in Alexandria, Virginia. We estimate the total cost of the project to be $95.3 million, with approximately 70% of the project financed with debt. WRIT is the 95% owner of the joint venture and will have management and leasing responsibilities when the project is completed and stabilized. The real estate development company owns 5% of the joint venture and is responsible for the development and construction of the property. The joint venture currently expects to complete this development project during the fourth quarter of 2014.

We have determined that the 650 North Glebe Road and 1219 First Street joint ventures are variable interest entities (“VIE's”) primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit either entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. We expect that 70% of the total development costs will be financed through debt. We have also determined that WRIT is the primary beneficiary of each VIE due to the fact that WRIT is providing 90% to 95% of the equity contributions and will manage each property after stabilization.

We include the joint venture land acquisitions on our consolidated balance sheets in held for development. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the land and capitalized development costs are as follows (in millions):



	June 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
650 North Glebe	$	14.5	$	13.4
1219 First Street	$	16.0	$	14.4

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to the joint ventures are as follows (in millions):



	June 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
650 North Glebe	$	0.3	$	0.1
1219 First Street	$	0.4	$	0.2

Discontinued Operations

We dispose of assets (sometimes using tax-deferred exchanges) that no longer meet our long-term strategy or return objectives and where market conditions for sale are favorable. The proceeds from the sales may be reinvested into other properties, used to fund development operations or to support other corporate needs, or distributed to our shareholders. Properties are considered held for sale when they meet the criteria specified by GAAP. Depreciation on these properties is discontinued at that time, but operating revenues, other operating expenses and interest continue to be recognized until the date of sale. We had no properties classified as sold or held for sale as of June 30, 2012.

We sold or classified as held for sale the following properties during 2011:



Disposition Date	Property Name	Property Type	Rentable Square Feet	Contract Purchase Price (In millions)
Various ⁽¹⁾	Industrial Portfolio⁽¹⁾	Industrial/Office	3,092,000	$	350.9
April 5, 2011	Dulles Station, Phase I	Office	180,000	58.8
		Total 2011	3,272,000	$	409.7

⁽¹⁾

The Industrial Portfolio consists of every property in our industrial segment and two office properties (the Crescent and Albemarle Point). On September 2, 2011 we closed on the sale of industrial properties (8880 Gorman Road, Dulles South IV, Fullerton Business Center, Hampton Overlook, Alban Business Center, Pickett Industrial Park, Northern Virginia Industrial Park I, 270 Technology Park, Fullerton Industrial Center, Sully Square, 9950 Business Parkway, Hampton South and 8900 Telegraph Road) and two office properties (Crescent and Albemarle Point). On October 3, 2011, we closed on the sale of Northern Virginia Industrial Park II. On November 2, 2011, we closed on the sale of 6100 Columbia Park Road and Dulles Business Park I and II.

Operating results of the properties classified as discontinued operations are summarized as follows (in thousands):

We repaid our $50.0 million of 5.05% unsecured notes on their due date of May 1, 2012 using borrowings on our unsecured lines of credit.

NOTE 6: STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

WRIT maintains short-term ("STIP") and long-term ("LTIP") incentive plans that provide for stock-based awards to officers and non-officer employees. Stock based awards are provided to officers and non-officer employees, as well as trustees, under the Washington Real Estate Investment Trust 2007 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan which allows for awards in the form of restricted shares, restricted share units, options, and other awards up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares over the ten year period in which the plan will be in effect. Restricted share units are converted into shares of our stock upon full vesting through the issuance of new shares.

Total Compensation Expense

Total compensation expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements for all outstanding share based awards, was as follows (in millions):



	Quarter Ended June 30,				Period Ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Stock-based compensation expense	$	1.3	$	1.5	$	2.7	$	2.8

Restricted Share Awards

The total fair values of share grants vested was as follows (in millions):



	Quarter Ended June 30,				Period Ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Fair value of share grants vested	$	—	$	—	$	0.3	$	0.3

The total unvested restricted share awards at June 30, 2012 was 313,500 shares, which had a weighted average grant date fair value of $28.40 per share.

As of June 30, 2012, the total compensation cost related to non-vested restricted share awards was $4.2 million, which we expect to recognize as compensation expense over a weighted average period of 24 months.

NOTE 7: FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, quantitative disclosures about the fair value measurements are required to be disclosed separately for each major category of assets and liabilities, as follows:

Level 1: Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets

Level 2: Significant Other Observable Inputs

Level 3: Significant Unobservable Inputs

The only assets or liabilities we had at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are the assets held in the Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (“SERP”). We base the valuations related to this item on assumptions derived from significant other observable inputs and accordingly these valuations fall into Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of these assets at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is as follows (in millions):



	June 30, 2012								December 31, 2011
	Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
SERP	$	2.1	$	—	$	2.1	$	—	$	1.7	$	—	$	1.7	$	—

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

The following disclosures of estimated fair value were determined by management using available market information and

established valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow. Many of these estimates involve significant judgment. The estimated fair value disclosed may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts we could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies could have an effect on the estimated fair value amounts. In addition, fair value estimates are made at a point in time and thus, estimates of fair value subsequent to June 30, 2012 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 June 30, 2012.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash include cash and commercial paper with original maturities of less than 90 days, which are valued at the carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments (Level 1 inputs).

Notes Receivable

We acquired a note receivable ("2445 M Street note") in 2008 with the purchase of 2445 M Street. We estimate the fair value of the 2445 M Street note based on a discounted cash flow methodology using market discount rates (Level 3 inputs).

Debt

Mortgage notes payable consist of instruments in which certain of our real estate assets are used for collateral. We estimate the fair value of the mortgage notes payable by discounting the contractual cash flows at a rate equal to the relevant treasury rates (with respect to the timing of each cash flow) plus credit spreads estimated through independent comparisons to real estate assets or loans with similar characteristics. Lines of credit payable consist of bank facilities which we use 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. We estimate the market value based on a comparison of the spreads of the advances to market given the adjustable base rate. We estimate the fair value of the notes payable by discounting the contractual cash flows at a rate equal to the relevant treasury rates (with respect to the timing of each cash flow) plus credit spreads derived using the relevant securities’ market prices. We classify these fair value measurements as Level 3 as we use significant unobservable inputs and management judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices.

NOTE 8: EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

We determine “Basic earnings per share” using the two-class method as our unvested restricted share awards have non-forfeitable rights to dividends, and are therefore considered participating securities. We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to the controlling interest less the allocation of undistributed earnings to unvested restricted share awards by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

We also determine “Diluted earnings per share” under the two-class method with respect to the unvested restricted share awards. We further evaluate any other potentially dilutive securities at the end of the period and adjust the basic earnings per share calculation for the impact of those securities that are dilutive. Our diluted earnings per share calculation includes the dilutive impact of employee stock options based on the treasury stock method and our incentive share awards with performance or market conditions under the contingently issuable method. The diluted earnings per share calculation also considers our operating partnership units and 3.875% convertible notes under the if-converted method. The 3.875% convertible notes, which were repaid in full during the third quarter of 2011, were anti-dilutive for the reporting periods during which they were outstanding.

The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (amounts in thousands; except per share data):

NOTE 9: SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have four reportable segments: office, medical office, retail and multifamily. Office buildings provide office space for various types of businesses and professions. Medical office buildings provide offices and facilities for a variety of medical services. Retail centers are typically neighborhood grocery store or drug store anchored retail centers. Multifamily properties provide rental housing for individuals and families throughout the Washington metropolitan area.

We evaluate performance based upon operating income from the combined properties in each segment. Our reportable operating segments are consolidations of similar properties. GAAP requires that segment disclosures present the measure(s) used by the chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing segments’ performance. Net operating income is a key measurement of our segment profit and loss. Net operating income is defined as segment real estate rental revenue less segment real estate expenses.

The following tables present revenues and net operating income for the 2012 and 2011 Quarters and Periods from these segments, and reconciles net operating income of reportable segments to net income as reported (in thousands):

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in Item 1 of this report and the more detailed information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2012.

We refer to the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 as the “2012 Quarter” and the “2011 Quarter”, respectively, and the six months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 as the “2012 Period” and the “2011 Period”, respectively.

The following important factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, could affect our future results and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements: (a) the effects of changes in Federal government spending; (b) the economic health of the greater Washington metro region, or other markets we may enter; (c) the timing and pricing of lease transactions; (d) the effect of the recent credit and financial market conditions; (e) the availability and cost of capital; (f) fluctuations in interest rates; (g) the economic health of our tenants; (h) the supply of competing properties; (i) consumer confidence; (j) unemployment rates; (k) consumer tastes and preferences; (l) our future capital requirements; (m) inflation; (n) compliance with applicable laws, including those concerning the environment and access by persons with disabilities; (o) governmental or regulatory actions and initiatives; (p) changes in general economic and business conditions; (q) terrorist attacks or actions; (r) acts of war; (s) weather conditions; (t) the effects of changes in capital available to the technology and biotechnology sectors of the economy, and (u) other factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2012 and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update our forward-looking statements or risk factors to reflect new information, future events, or otherwise.

General

Introductory Matters

We provide our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) in addition to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to assist readers in understanding our results of operations and financial condition. We organize the MD&A as follows:


•	Overview. Discussion of our business, operating results, investment activity and capital requirements, and summary of our significant transactions to provide context for the remainder of MD&A.


•	Results of Operations. Discussion of our financial results comparing the 2012 Quarter to the 2011 Quarter and the 2012 Period to the 2011 Period.


•	Liquidity and Capital Resources. Discussion of our financial condition and analysis of changes in our capital structure and cash flows.


•	Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. Descriptions of accounting policies that reflect significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

When evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, we focus on the following financial and non-financial indicators:


•	Net operating income (“NOI”), calculated as real estate rental revenue less real estate expenses excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense and general and administrative expenses. NOI is a non-GAAP supplemental measure to net income.


•	Funds From Operations (“FFO”), calculated as set forth below under the caption “Funds from Operations.” FFO is a non-GAAP supplemental measure to net income.


•	Occupancy, calculated as occupied square footage as a percentage of total square footage as of the last day of that period.


•	Leased percentage, calculated as the percentage of physical net rentable area leased for our commercial segments and percentage of apartments leased for our multifamily segment.


•	Rental rates.


•	Leasing activity, including new leases, renewals and expirations.

For purposes of evaluating comparative operating performance, we categorize our properties as “same-store”, “non-same-store” or discontinued operations. A “same-store” property is one that was owned for the entirety of the periods being evaluated, is stabilized from an occupancy standpoint and is included in continuing operations. We consider newly constructed properties to be stabilized when they achieve 90% occupancy. A “non-same-store” property is one that was acquired or placed into service and not at 90% occupancy during either of the periods being evaluated and is included in continuing operations. Results for properties sold or held for sale during any of the periods evaluated are classified as discontinued operations.

Overview

Business

Our revenues are derived primarily from the ownership and operation of income-producing properties in the greater Washington metro region. As of June 30, 2012, we owned a diversified portfolio of 72 properties, totaling approximately 8.7 million square feet of commercial space and 2,540 multifamily units, and land held for development. These 72 properties consisted of 27 office properties, 18 medical office properties, 16 retail centers and 11 multifamily properties.

Operating Results

Our results of operations were as follows (in thousands):



	2012 Quarter		2011 Quarter		$ Change			% Change
Real estate rental revenue	$	76,777	$	71,684	$	5,093		7.1	%
NOI ⁽¹⁾	$	51,298	$	47,883	$	3,415		7.1	%
Net income attributable to the controlling interests	$	6,008	$	6,522	$	(514	)	(7.9	)%
FFO ⁽²⁾	$	31,599	$	33,154	$	(1,555	)	(4.7	)%

⁽¹⁾ See page 24 of the MD&A for reconciliations of NOI to net income.
⁽²⁾ See page 39 of the MD&A for reconciliations of FFO to net income.

The increases in real estate rental revenue and NOI are due to acquisitions made during 2011 and 2012. NOI for the same-store portfolio decreased by $0.8 million primarily due to lower occupancy in the office and medical office segments. The lower occupancy reflects continued difficulties in leasing vacant office space. For the Washington metro region, overall office vacancy was 12.6% for the 2012 Quarter, up from 12.1% one year ago, according to Delta Associates/Transwestern Commercial Services ("Delta"). We expect real estate market conditions to remain challenging for the remainder of 2012, as, according to Delta, uncertainty over the Federal budget and the broader economic climate is causing hesitancy among tenants and dampening leasing activity.

Capital Requirements

As of June 30, 2012, our unsecured lines of credit had $221.0 million in borrowings outstanding and $0.8 million in letters of credit issued, leaving a remaining borrowing capacity of $278.2 million.

We repaid our $50.0 million of 5.05% unsecured notes on their maturity date of May 1, 2012 using borrowings on our unsecured lines of credit. Subsequent to the end of the 2012 Quarter, we prepaid $21.4 million of mortgage notes payable without penalty on August 1, 2012 using borrowings on our unsecured lines of credit.

Significant Transactions

We summarize below our significant transactions during the 2012 and 2011 Periods:

2012 Period


•	The acquisition of an office building for $52.3 million, adding approximately 147,000 square feet. We incurred $0.2 million in acquisition costs related to this transaction.

•

The execution of an amended and restated credit agreement for our Credit Facility No. 1 to expand the facility from $75.0 million to $100.0 million, with an accordion feature that allows us to increase the facility to $200.0 million, subject to additional lender commitments. The amended and restated facility matures June 2015, with a one-year extension option, and bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 107.5 basis points.


•	The execution of an amended and restated credit agreement for Credit Facility No. 2, our $400.0 million unsecured line of credit, to extend the maturity date of the facility to July 2016 , with a one-year extension option, and lower the interest rate to LIBOR plus a margin of 107.5 basis points.


•	The execution of new leases for 0.5 million square feet of commercial space (excluding first generation leases at recently-built properties and properties sold or held for sale), with an average rental rate increase of 12.5% over expiring leases.

2011 Period


•	The disposition of Dulles Station I, a 180,000 square foot office building in Herndon, Virginia, for a contract sales price of $58.8 million.


•	The acquisition of two office buildings for $127.3 million, adding approximately 314,000 square feet. We incurred $1.6 million in acquisition costs related to these purchase transactions.


•	The acquisition of approximately 37,000 square feet of land in Arlington, Virginia for $11.8 million through a consolidated joint venture of which WRIT is a 90% owner. The joint venture intends to develop a mid-rise apartment community on this land.


•	The execution of new leases for 0.8 million square feet of commercial space (excluding first generation leases at recently-built properties), with an average rental rate increase of 5.4% from expiring leases.

Results of Operations

The discussion that follows is based on our consolidated results of operations for the 2012 and 2011 Quarters and Periods. The ability to compare one period to another may be significantly affected by acquisitions completed and dispositions made during those periods. To provide more insight into our operating results, we divide our discussion into two main sections:


•	Consolidated Results of Operations: Overview analysis of results on a consolidated basis.


•	Net Operating Income (“NOI”): Detailed analysis of same-store and non-same-store NOI results by segment.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Real Estate Rental Revenue

Real estate rental revenue for properties classified as continuing operations is summarized as follows (all data in thousands except percentage amounts):

Minimum Base Rent: Minimum base rent increased by $4.5 million in the 2012 Quarter primarily due to acquisitions ($5.1 million) and higher rental rates ($1.1 million) at same-store properties, partially offset by lower occupancy ($1.5 million) at same-store properties.

Minimum base rent increased by $10.2 million in the 2012 Period primarily due to acquisitions ($10.6 million) and higher rental rates ($2.0 million) at same-store properties, partially offset by lower occupancy ($1.9 million) at same-store properties.

Recoveries from Tenants: Recoveries from tenants increased by $0.8 million in the 2012 Quarter primarily due to acquisitions.

Recoveries from tenants increased by $1.6 million in the 2012 Period primarily due to acquisitions ($2.0 million) and higher reimbursements for real estate taxes ($0.3 million) from same-store properties, partially offset by lower operating expense reimbursements ($0.6 million) from same-store properties.

Provisions for Doubtful Accounts: Provisions for doubtful accounts increased by $0.8 million in the 2012 Quarter due to higher provisions across the portfolio, particularly in the office ($0.3 million) and retail ($0.3 million) segments.

Provisions for doubtful accounts increased by $0.4 million in the 2012 Period due to higher provisions in the office ($0.1 million) and retail ($0.4 million) segments, offset by lower provisions in the medical office segment ($0.1 million).

Lease Termination Fees: Lease termination fees were flat in the 2012 Quarter and increased by $0.2 million in the 2012 Period, primarily in the office segment.

Parking and Other Tenant Charges: Parking and other tenant charges increased by $0.6 million in the 2012 Quarter primarily due to acquisitions ($0.2 million), as well as higher percentage rent ($0.2 million) and parking income ($0.1 million) from same-store properties.

Parking and other tenant charges increased by $0.8 million in the 2012 Period primarily due to acquisitions ($0.5 million) and higher parking income ($0.2 million) from same-store properties.

Net Operating Income

NOI is the primary performance measure we use to assess the results of our operations at the property level. We believe that NOI is useful as a performance measure because, when compared across periods, NOI reflects the impact on operations of trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. NOI excludes certain components from net income in order to provide results more closely related to a property’s results of operations. For example, acquisition costs are incurred prior to obtaining properties, and interest expense and real estate impairments are not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset. In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort operating performance at the property level. As a result of the foregoing, we provide NOI as a supplement to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. NOI does not represent net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. As such, it should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance. A reconciliation of NOI to net income follows.

(2)Discontinued operations include gains on disposals and income from operations for:

2011 held for sale and sold – Dulles Station, Phase I and the Industrial Portfolio

Real estate rental revenue from same-store properties decreased by $1.2 million in the 2012 Quarter primarily due to lower occupancy ($1.5 million) and higher reserves for uncollectible revenue ($0.8 million), partially offset by higher rental rates ($1.1 million).

Real estate expenses from same-store properties decreased by $0.4 million in the 2012 Quarter as lower write-offs of receivables ($0.6 million) and lower utilities expense ($0.2 million) were partially offset by higher real estate taxes ($0.3 million).

The decrease in same-store occupancy was the result of difficulties in leasing vacant space in the office segment. The increase in non-same-store occupancy reflects the acquisitions made during 2011. During the 2012 Quarter, 47.4% of the commercial square footage expiring was renewed as compared to 64.7% in the 2011 Quarter, excluding properties sold or classified as held for sale. During the 2012 Quarter, we executed new leases (excluding first generation leases at recently-built properties) for 247,439 commercial square feet at an average rental rate of $31.99 per square foot, an increase of 14.3%, with average tenant improvements and leasing commissions and incentives (including free rent) of $39.91 per square foot.

2012 acquisition - Fairgate at Ballston

2011 acquisitions – Braddock Metro Center and John Marshall II

Real estate rental revenue from same-store properties decreased by $1.7 million in the 2012 Quarter primarily due to lower occupancy ($1.3 million), higher reserves for uncollectible revenue ($0.3 million) and lower reimbursements for operating expenses ($0.2 million), partially offset by higher rental rates ($0.3 million).

Real estate expenses from same-store properties decreased by $0.1 million primarily due to lower utilities ($0.3 million) partially offset by higher administrative costs ($0.1 million).

Real estate rental revenue from same-store properties decreased by $2.0 million in the 2012 Period primarily due to lower occupancy ($1.6 million) and lower reimbursements for operating expenses ($0.3 million).

Real estate expenses from same-store properties increased by $0.4 million in the 2012 Period primarily due to lower recoveries of bad debt ($0.4 million), higher real estate taxes ($0.2 million) and higher administrative costs ($0.2 million), partially offset by lower utilities ($0.6 million).

During the 2012 Period, 59.8% of the square footage that expired was renewed compared to 61.0% in the 2011 Period, excluding properties sold or classified as held for sale. During the 2012 Period, we executed new leases for 254,536 square feet of office space at an average rental rate of $35.09 per square foot, an increase of 14.7%, with average tenant improvements and leasing commissions and incentives (including free rent) of $48.86 per square foot.

2009 acquisition – Lansdowne Medical Office Building

Real estate rental revenue from same-store properties decreased by $0.2 million in the 2012 Period primarily due to lower occupancy ($0.3 million), partially offset by lower reserves for uncollectible revenue ($0.1 million).

Real estate expenses from same-store properties increased by $0.4 million in the 2012 Period primarily due to write-offs of uncollectible receivables ($0.3 million).

During the 2012 Period, 55.0% of the square footage that expired was renewed compared to 73.8% in the 2011 Period.

2011 acquisition – Olney Village Center

Real estate rental revenue from same-store properties increased by $0.4 million in the 2012 Period primarily due to higher reimbursements for real estate taxes ($0.5 million) and higher occupancy ($0.3 million), partially offset by higher reserves for uncollectible revenue ($0.4 million).

Real estate expenses from same-store properties decreased by $1.3 million in the 2012 Period primarily due to lower write-offs of receivables ($1.0 million) caused by the liquidation of a large tenant in bankruptcy during the 2011 Quarter, and lower snow removal costs ($0.4 million).

During the 2012 Period, 70.9% of the square footage that expired was renewed compared to 97.7% in the 2011 Period. During the 2012 Period, we executed new leases for 109,900 square feet of retail space at an average rental rate of $21.40, an increase of 7.1%, with average tenant improvements and leasing commissions and incentives (including free rent) of $15.79 per square foot.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Structure

During the remainder of 2012, we expect that we will have the following capital requirements. There can be no assurance that our capital requirements will not be materially higher or lower than these expectations.


•	Funding dividends on our common shares and noncontrolling interest distributions to third party unit holders;


•	Approximately $45.0 - $60.0 million to invest in our existing portfolio of operating assets, including approximately $20.0 - $25.0 million to fund tenant-related capital requirements and leasing commissions;


•	Approximately $1.0 million to fund first generation tenant-related capital requirements and leasing commissions;


•	Approximately $12.9 million to invest in our development projects;


•	Funding to cover any costs related to property acquisitions; and


•	Funding for potential property acquisitions throughout the remainder of 2012, with a portion expected to be offset by proceeds from potential property dispositions.

Our Board of Trustees announced on July 26, 2012 a new quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share to be paid on September 28, 2012 to shareholders of record on September 14, 2012. The new quarterly dividend rate represents a 31% decrease from our second quarter 2012 dividend of $0.43375 per share.

Debt Financing

Our total debt at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is summarized as follows (in thousands):



	June 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Fixed rate mortgages	$	425,268	$	427,710
Unsecured credit facilities	221,000		99,000
Unsecured notes payable	607,653		657,470
	$	1,253,921	$	1,184,180

Mortgage Debt

At June 30, 2012, our $425.3 million in fixed rate mortgages, which includes a net $4.0 million in unamortized discounts due to fair value adjustments, bore an effective weighted average fair value interest rate of 5.9% and had a weighted average maturity of 4.1 years. We may either initiate secured mortgage debt or assume mortgage debt from time-to-time in conjunction with property acquisitions. Subsequent to the end of the 2012 Quarter, we prepaid $21.4 million of mortgage notes payable without penalty on August 1, 2012 using borrowings on our unsecured lines of credit.

Unsecured Credit Facilities

Our primary external sources of liquidity are our two revolving credit facilities.

During the 2012 Quarter, we executed an amended and restated credit agreement for our Credit Facility No. 1 to expand the facility from $75.0 million to $100.0 million, with an accordion feature that allows us to increase the facility to $200.0 million, subject to additional lender commitments. The amended and restated facility matures June 2015, with a one-year extension option, and bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 107.5 basis points. All outstanding advances are due and payable upon maturity in June 2015. Interest only payments are due and payable generally on a monthly basis. In addition, we pay a facility fee based on the credit rating of our publicly issued debt which currently equals 0.175% per annum of the $100.0 million committed capacity, without regard to usage. Rates and fees may be adjusted up or down based on changes in our senior unsecured credit ratings.

During the 2012 Quarter, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement for our $400.0 million unsecured line of credit (“Credit Facility No. 2”) to extend the maturity date of the facility to July 2016, with a one-year extension option, and lower the interest rate to LIBOR plus a margin of 107.5 basis points. All outstanding advances are due and payable upon maturity in July 2016. Interest only payments are due and payable generally on a monthly basis. In addition, we pay a facility fee based on the credit rating of our publicly issued debt which currently equals 0.175% per annum of the $400.0 million committed capacity, without regard to usage. Rates and fees may be adjusted up or down based on changes in our senior unsecured credit ratings.

Our unsecured credit facilities contain financial and other covenants with which we must comply. Some of these covenants include:


•	A minimum tangible net worth;


•	A maximum ratio of total liabilities to gross asset value, calculated using an estimate of fair market value of our assets;


•	A maximum ratio of secured indebtedness to gross asset value, calculated using an estimate of fair market value of our assets;


•	A minimum ratio of quarterly EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) to fixed charges, including interest expense;


•	A minimum ratio of unencumbered asset value, calculated using a fair value of our assets, to unsecured indebtedness;


•	A minimum ratio of net operating income from our unencumbered properties to unsecured interest expense; and


•	A maximum ratio of permitted investments to gross asset value, calculated using an estimate of fair market value of our assets.

Failure to comply with any of the covenants under our unsecured credit facilities or other debt instruments could result in a default under one or more of our debt instruments. This could cause our lenders to accelerate the timing of payments and would therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition and liquidity. In addition, our ability to draw on our unsecured credit facilities or incur other unsecured debt in the future could be restricted by the loan covenants. As of June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with our loan covenants.

There is a possibility that in the near term we may rely to a greater extent upon our unsecured credit facilities and potentially maintain balances on our unsecured credit facilities for longer periods than has been our historical practice. To the extent that we maintain larger balances on our unsecured credit facilities or maintain balances on our unsecured credit facilities for longer periods, adverse fluctuations in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on earnings.

Unsecured Notes

We generally issue unsecured notes to fund our real estate assets long-term. In issuing future unsecured notes, we generally seek to ladder the maturities of our debt to mitigate exposure to interest rate risk in any particular future year.

Our unsecured notes have maturities ranging from March 2013 through February 2028, as follows (in thousands):



	June 30, 2012
	Note Principal
5.125% notes due 2013	$	60,000
5.25% notes due 2014	100,000
5.35% notes due 2015	150,000
4.95% notes due 2020	250,000
7.25% notes due 2028	50,000
	$	610,000

Our unsecured notes contain covenants with which we must comply. These include:


•	Limits on our total indebtedness;


•	Limits on our secured indebtedness;


•	Limits on our required debt service payments; and


•	Maintenance of a minimum level of unencumbered assets.

Failure to comply with any of the covenants under our unsecured notes could result in a default under one or more of our debt instruments. This could cause our debt holders to accelerate the timing of payments and would therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition and liquidity. As of June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with our unsecured notes covenants.

We may from time to time seek to repurchase and cancel our outstanding notes through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. We did not repurchase any outstanding unsecured notes prior to their maturity dates during the 2012 Period.

Common Equity

We have authorized for issuance 100.0 million common shares, of which 66.3 million shares were outstanding at June 30, 2012.

We have a dividend reinvestment program, whereby shareholders may use their dividends and optional cash payments to purchase common shares. The common shares sold under this program may either be common shares issued by us or common shares purchased in the open market. We use net proceeds under this program for general corporate purposes. For the 2012 Period, we issued 54,758 common shares at a weighted average price of $29.67 per share, raising $1.3 million in net proceeds.

During the 2012 Quarter, we entered into a new sales agency financing agreement with BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC relating to the issuance and sale of up to $250.0 million of our common shares from time to time over a period of no more than 36 months from June 2012. Sales of our common shares are made at market prices prevailing at the time of sale. We will use net proceeds for the sale of common shares under this program for the repayment of borrowings under our lines of credit, acquisitions and general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2012, we have not issued any common shares under this new sales agency financing agreement.

Dividends

We pay dividends quarterly. The maintenance of our dividend level is subject to various factors reviewed by the Board of Trustees in its discretion. These factors include our results of operations, the availability of cash to make the necessary dividend payments and the effect of REIT distribution requirements, which require at least 90% of our taxable income to be distributed to shareholders. When setting the dividend level, our Board in particular looks at trends in our level of funds from operations, together with associated recurring capital improvements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and incentives, and adjustments to straight-line rents to reflect cash rents received. Subsequent to the end of the 2012 Quarter and Period, our Board of Trustees announced on July 26, 2012 a new quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share to be paid on September 28, 2012 to shareholders of record on September 14, 2012. The new quarterly dividend rate represents a 31% decrease from our second quarter 2012 dividend of $0.43375 per share.

The table below details our dividend and distribution payments for the 2012 and 2011 Quarters and Periods (in thousands).



	Quarter Ended June 30,									Period Ended June 30,
					Change									Change
	2012		2011		$			%		2012		2011		$			%
Common dividends	$	28,907	$	28,796	$	111		0.4	%	$	57,807	$	57,386	$	421		0.7	%
Distributions to noncontrolling interests	7		82		(75		)	(91.5	)%	14		107		(93		)	(86.9	)%
	$	28,914	$	28,878	$	36		0.1	%	$	57,821	$	57,493	$	328		0.6	%

Dividends paid for the 2012 Quarter and Period increased due primarily to the issuance of 0.2 million common shares under our dividend reinvestment program during 2011.

Cash flows from operations are an important factor in our ability to sustain our dividend at its current rate. If our cash flows from operations were to decline significantly, we may have to borrow on our lines of credit to sustain the dividend rate or reduce our dividend.

Historical Cash Flows

Consolidated cash flow information is summarized as follows (in millions):



	Period Ended June 30,
							Change
	2012			2011			$		%
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	67.1		$	60.0		$	7.1	11.8	%
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	$	(76.3	)	$	(91.2	)	$	14.9	(16.3	)%
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	10.8		$	(4.7	)	$	15.5	(329.8	)%

Our operating activities generated $67.1 million of net cash in the 2012 Period, an increase from $60.0 million in the 2011 Period that is primarily attributable the acquisitions made during 2011 and lower acquisition costs.

Our investing activities used net cash of $76.3 million in the 2012 Period compared to $91.2 million in the 2011 Period. The decrease in cash used by investing activities is primarily due higher net acquisition activity during the 2011 Period, partially offset

by an increase in capital expenditures during the 2012 Period.

Our financing activities provided net cash of $10.8 million in the 2012 Period as compared to net cash used of $4.7 million in the 2011 Period. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to a higher volume of note repayments during the 2011 Period.

Ratios of Earnings to Fixed Charges and Debt Service Coverage

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



	Quarter Ended June 30,				Period Ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Earnings to fixed charges	1.35	x	1.25	x	1.32	x	1.19	x
Debt service coverage	2.80	x	2.78	x	2.76	x	2.71	x

We computed the ratio of earnings to fixed charges by dividing earnings by fixed charges. For this purpose, earnings consist of income from continuing operations attributable to the controlling interests plus fixed charges, less capitalized interest. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, including amortized costs of debt issuance, and interest costs capitalized.

We computed the debt service coverage ratio by dividing Adjusted EBITDA (which is earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, real estate impairment, gain on sale of real estate, gain/loss from the extinguishment of debt and gain/loss on non-disposal activities) by interest expense and principal amortization. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate for use in our debt service coverage ratio because it provides an estimate of the cash available to pay down long term debt. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. As such, it should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to the controlling interests is in Exhibit 12 – Computation of Ratios.

Funds From Operations

FFO is a widely used measure of operating performance for real estate companies. We provide FFO as a supplemental measure to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Although FFO is a widely used measure of operating performance for REITs, FFO does not represent net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. As such, it should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance. In addition, FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor does it represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”) defines FFO (April, 2002 White Paper) as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and impairments of depreciable real estate, if any, plus real estate depreciation and amortization. We consider FFO to be a standard supplemental measure for REITs because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which historically assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have instead historically risen or fallen with market conditions, we believe that FFO more accurately provides investors an indication of our ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and fund other needs. Our FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs. These other REITs may not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently.

The following table provides the calculation of our FFO and a reconciliation of FFO to net income for the periods shown (in thousands):



	Quarter Ended June 30,				Period Ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Net income attributable to the controlling interests	$	6,008	$	6,522	$	11,189	$	11,187
Adjustments:
Depreciation and amortization	25,591		22,526		51,585		44,422
Discontinued operations:
Depreciation and amortization	—		2,933		—		6,286
Income tax expense	—		1,173		—		1,173
Real estate impairment	—		—		—		599
FFO as defined by NAREIT	$	31,599	$	33,154	$	62,774	$	63,667

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We base the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We discuss the most critical estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2012.

ITEM 3: QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The principal material financial market risk to which we are exposed is interest-rate risk. Our 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 our variable rate lines of credit. We primarily enter into debt obligations to support general corporate purposes including acquisition of real estate properties, capital improvements and working capital needs.

As the majority of our outstanding debt is long-term, fixed rate debt, our interest rate risk has not changed significantly from what was disclosed in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Debt Financing.”

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Accounting, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Accounting, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Accounting concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There have been no changes in WRIT’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined by Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during the period covered by the report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, WRIT’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

None.

ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS

We cannot assure you we will maintain our dividend rate.

Cash flows from operations are an important factor in our ability to sustain our dividend rate. If our cash flows from operations were to decline significantly, we may have to borrow on our lines of credit to sustain the dividend rate or reduce our dividend rate. Our ability to maintain our dividend rate or to increase our dividend rate will depend on a number of factors, including, among others, the following:


•	our future financial condition and results of operations;


•	the performance of lease terms by tenants;


•	the terms of our loan covenants; and


•	our ability to acquire, finance, develop or redevelop and lease additional properties at attractive rates.

Our board of trustees considers, among other factors, trends in our level of funds from operations, together with associated recurring capital improvements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and incentives, and adjustments to straight-line rents to reflect cash rents received. This level has trended lower in recent years due to the recent economic downturn and uncertainty with the business and leasing environment in the Washington metro region. We have recently reduced our dividend rate, and if such trend were to continue for a sustained period of time, our board of trustees could determine to further reduce our dividend rate.

If we do not maintain or increase our common share dividend rate in the future, it could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common shares.
