        ended June 30, 2011 was $6.5 million, or $0.10 per diluted share,

"Year to date, we have progressed with our strategy of repositioning our holdings toward properties inside the Beltway, near major transportation nodes and in areas with strong employment drivers and superior growth demographics. We have acquired $127 million of downtown Washington, DC office assets, we are under contract to purchase an office building at a future Tysons Corner metro station for $73.5 million, and we disposed of a suburban office building for $59 million. We announced a joint venture to develop a 150 unit apartment community in the heart of Arlington, Virginia. We continue to make good progress on the intended sale of our industrial portfolio. Finally, we executed a new 3-year $400 million credit facility, with the option of upsizing to $600 million in the future. Our balance sheet is well positioned to fund the various acquisition opportunities that we are pursuing," said George "Skip" McKenzie, President and Chief Executive Officer of WRIT.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

In the second quarter of 2011, WRIT entered into a joint venture with Crimson Partners to develop a six-story, 150 unit mid-rise apartment community in Arlington, Virginia. The joint venture purchased the proposed development site, which is approximately 37,000 square feet and located at the corner of North Glebe Road and North Carlin Springs Road, across the street from Ballston Common Mall and within walking distance of the Ballston Metro Station and one of the busiest Harris Teeter grocery stores in the metro region. The total cost of the project is estimated to be $43.5 million, with a projected stabilized return on cost between 7.0-8.0%. WRIT will be a 90% owner of the joint venture. Crimson Partners will be a 10% owner and responsible for the development, construction and lease-up of the property, with WRIT having management and leasing responsibilities. Construction is projected to commence in second quarter 2012 and will last approximately 15-18 months.

As previously announced, WRIT is under contract to purchase John Marshall II, a 223,000 square foot office building located at 8283 Greensboro Drive in Tysons Corner, Virginia, for $73.5 million. The purchase is subject to the assumption of a $54.3 million 5.79% loan. WRIT anticipates closing on this acquisition in the third quarter of 2011.

WRIT also completed the sale of Dulles Station West Phase I, a 180,000 square foot office building in Herndon, Virginia, for $58.8 million. WRIT acquired the land for Dulles Station West Phases I and II in 2005 and completed construction on Phase I in 2007. It is 100% leased to tenants including IBM and National Student Clearinghouse. Phase II, which was not included in the transaction, is zoned for future development of a 340,000 square foot office building.

Certain statements in our earnings release and on our conference call are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, the potential for federal government budget reductions, changes in general and local economic and real estate market conditions, the timing and pricing of lease transactions, the effect of the current credit and financial market conditions, the availability and cost of capital, fluctuations in interest rates, tenants' financial conditions, levels of competition, the effect of government regulation, the impact of newly adopted accounting principles, and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including our 2010 Form 10-K and first quarter 2011 Form 10-Q. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events.

(1) Funds From Operations ("FFO") - The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT") defines FFO (April, 2002 White Paper) as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")) excluding gains (or losses) associated with sales of property plus real estate depreciation and amortization. FFO is a non-GAAP measure and does not replace net income as a measure of performance or net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. We consider FFO to be a standard supplemental measure for equity real estate investment trusts ("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.

Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO") is calculated by adjusting FFO for the following items (which we believe are not indicative of the performance of WRIT's operating portfolio and affect the comparative measurement of WRIT's operating performance over time): (1) gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, (2) costs related to the acquisition of properties and (3) real estate impairments, as appropriate. These items can vary greatly from period to period, depending upon the volume of our acquisition activity and debt retirements, among other factors. We believe that by excluding these items, Core FFO serves as a useful, supplementary measure of WRIT's ability to incur and service debt, and distribute dividends to its shareholders. Core FFO is a non-GAAP and non-standardized measure, and may be calculated differently by other REITs.

(2) Net Operating Income ("NOI"), defined as real estate rental revenue less real estate expenses, is a non-GAAP measure. NOI is calculated as net income, less non-real estate revenue and the results of discontinued operations (including the gain on sale, if any), plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization and general and administrative expenses. We provide NOI as a supplement to 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. It is the primary performance measure we use to assess the results of our operations at the property level.

(3) For purposes of evaluating comparative operating performance, we categorize our properties as "same-store" or "non-same-store". A same-store property is one that was owned for the entirety of the periods being evaluated. A non-same-store property is one that was acquired or placed into service during either of the periods being evaluated.

(4) Funds Available for Distribution ("FAD") is a non-GAAP measure. It is calculated by subtracting from FFO (1) recurring expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing costs that are capitalized and amortized and are necessary to maintain our properties and revenue stream and (2) straight-line rents, then adding (3) non-real estate depreciation and amortization, (4) real estate impairments, (5) amortization of restricted share and unit compensation, and adding or subtracting amortization of lease intangibles, as appropriate. We consider FAD to be a measure of a REIT's ability to incur and service debt and to distribute dividends to its shareholders. FAD is a non-standardized measure and may be calculated differently by other REITs.
