ITEM 1. BUSINESS
--------
The Trust
Washington Real Estate Investment Trust ("WRIT" or the "Trust") is a self-
administered, self-managed equity real estate investment trust ("REIT"). The
Trust's business consists of the ownership and operation of income-producing
real properties. The Trust has a fundamental strategy of regional focus,
diversification by property type and conservative capital management.
WRIT operates in a manner intended to enable it to qualify as a REIT under the
Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). In accordance with the Code, a trust which
distributes its capital gains and at least 95 percent of its taxable income to
its shareholders each year, and which meets certain other conditions, will not
be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its
shareholders. With regard to capital gains, the Trust has the option of (i)
paying our capital gains to the shareholders with no tax to the Trust, (ii)
paying a capital gains tax and retaining the gains on sales, (iii) 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 or (iv) reinvest the proceeds of a sale in other real estate
properties and thereby deferring recognition of the gain. Over the last five
years, dividends paid per share have been $1.23 for 2000, $1.16 for 1999, $1.11
for 1998, $1.07 for 1997, and $1.03 for 1996. The indicated annualized dividend
rate for 2001, based upon the March 31, 2001 dividend, is $1.25. Gains on sale
of real estate of $3.6 million in 2000 were tax deferred. The proceeds of these
sales were used to acquire real estate assets and will not be distributed.
WRIT generally incurs short-term floating rate debt in connection with the
acquisition of real estate. WRIT replaces the floating rate debt with fixed-rate
secured or unsecured terms loans or repays the debt with the proceeds of sales
of equity securities as market conditions permit. WRIT also may, in appropriate
circumstances, acquire one or more properties in exchange for WRIT's equity
securities or operating partnership units which are convertible into WRIT
shares.
WRIT's geographic focus is based on two principles:
1. Real estate is a local business and is much more effectively selected and
managed by owners located and expert in the region.
2. Geographic markets deserving of focus must be among the nation's best
markets with a strong primary industry foundation but be diversified enough
to withstand downturns in its primary industry.
WRIT considers markets to be local if they can be reached from the operations
center within two hours by car. WRIT's Washington centered market reaches north
to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and south to Richmond, Virginia. While WRIT has
historically focused most of its investments in the Greater Washington-Baltimore
Region, in order to maximize acquisition opportunities WRIT will consider
investments within the two-hour radius described above. WRIT also will consider
opportunities to duplicate its Washington focused approach in other geographic
markets which meet the criteria described above.
All of WRIT's Trustees, officers and employees live and work in the Greater
Washington-Baltimore region and WRIT's officers average over 20 years of
experience in this region.
The Greater Washington Economy
The Greater Washington, D.C. economy is a unique blend of "old economy" service
companies and "new economy" high technology growth companies, anchored by the
very significant Federal government presence. On the growth side:
. Washington Dulles International Airport at 25.8% and Baltimore-Washington
International Airport at 16.7% were ranked Nos. 1 and 2 in passenger growth
in the U.S. in 1999, the most recent year for which data is available.
. The Washington region ranks 1st in the U.S. in high-tech and bio-tech
employment.
-3-
While growth is very important, from an investment perspective economic
stability is equally important. In this context, no other region in the country
can compete with the Greater Washington region.
. According to George Mason University Center for Regional Analysis (GMU),
approximately 38% of Washington area technology sales are to the Federal
government. This compares to 5% in Silicon Valley.
. Federal government spending accounts for 31% of the area's Gross Regional
Product.
. Federal spending in this region has increased every year for 20 consecutive
years, even in years when federal spending nationally has decreased.
. The GMU projects Federal spending in the region to grow by 3% in 2001.
. As reflected below, Washington area technology firms are concentrated in
more stable sub-sectors than other technology centered regions.
Washington Area Technology Firms San Francisco Technology Firms
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Internet portals, service providers and content Electronic designers: web pages, games,
providers animation and entertainment
Network applications Software designers
Telecomm Hardware manufacturers
Bio-med Dot.com retailers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. The Greater Washington region is not exposed to new or old economy
manufacturing fluctuations.
. Greater Washington is home to 32 colleges and universities, several of which
are recognized as highly distinguished at both the undergraduate and graduate
levels.
. GMU projects economic growth in the region of 4.1% in 2001, down from 4.8% in
2000, but still very strong and substantially higher than is projected for
the U.S. as a whole.
Greater Washington Real Estate Markets
The combination of economic growth and stability in the Greater Washington
region has translated into very strong real estate market performance in each of
our sectors as reflected in the following data provided by Delta Associates /
Transwestern Commercial Services (Delta).
Office Sector
. Net absorption totaled 15.6 million square feet, up from 11 million square
feet in 1999 and the highest of any metro area in the U.S for the second
straight year.
. Direct vacancy was 3.6% (4.3% with sublet space included) at year end 2000,
down from 5.0% at year end 1999 and 3.8% at the end of Q3 2000.
-4-
. Rents increased by an average of 11% in the region with some submarkets
(Tysons/Dulles and Bethesda/I-270 Corridors) up 20%.
. Of the 21.3 million square feet of space under construction at year end
2000, 53% was pre-leased.
. The overall vacancy rate is projected to rise to the 7% to 8% range over
the next two years due to new development and an anticipated slow down in
economic growth.
. Rents are projected to continue to rise over the next two years, but at a
slower rate than in 2000.
Multifamily Sector
. The 0.7% vacancy rate at year end 2000 in Class B apartments (WRIT's market
segment) was the lowest recorded since World War II.
. Class B apartment rents rose over 15%.
. While nearly 26,000 units are in the development pipeline for delivery by
December, 2003, new demand for approximately 22,000 units is forecasted over
that period. As a result Delta projects a vacancy rate of 4.7% at December,
2003 - still very low by historical standards.
. Rents are projected to continue to rise at 5% to 10% per annum over the next
two years.
Grocery-Anchored Retail Centers Sector - The Washington Metro area
market continues to be a strong retail market due to:
. The highest per capita income of any major metro area in the U.S.
. The high growth rate - 25,000 new households per year since 1993.
. Demand for retail space outstripping new supply since the early 1990's.
. The stability of the regional economy as discussed above.
As a result of these factors:
-----------------------------
. Overall market vacancy in grocery-anchored retail centers fell to 2.2% at
year end 2000 from 2.7% at year end 1999.
. Rents for in-line tenants increased by 6.3% in 2000.
. Strong performance is expected to continue, as the development pipeline is
inadequate to meet demand.
Industrial Sector
. Year 2000 net absorption of 9.8 million square feet was the highest since the
mid-1980's.
. Vacancy was 7.8% at year end 2000, the lowest since the early 1980's.
. Average industrial rents rose 7.5% in the region while Northern Virginia
Flex/R&D rents increased 20%.
-5-
. Of the 8.5 million square feet of industrial space under construction at
year end 2000, 22% was pre-leased.
. The regional industrial vacancy rate is projected to increase slightly to
just over 8% by year-end 2001.
WRIT PORTFOLIO
As of December 31, 2000, WRIT owned a diversified portfolio consisting of 10
retail centers, 23 office buildings, 9 multifamily buildings and 15 industrial
properties. WRIT's principal objective is to invest in high quality properties
in prime locations, then proactively manage, lease, and develop ongoing capital
improvement programs to improve their economic performance. The percentage of
total real estate rental revenue by property group for 2000, 1999 and 1998 and
the percent leased as of December 31, 2000 were as follows:
Real Estate Rental Revenue
Percent Leased ------------------------------
December 31, 2000 2000 1999 1998
----------------- ---- ---- ----
99% Office buildings 53% 52% 50%
94% Retail centers 14 15 17
98% Multifamily 19 19 20
98% Industrial 14 14 13
---- ---- ----
100% 100% 100%
==== ==== ====
On a combined economic basis, WRIT's portfolio was 97% occupied in 2000, 96%
occupied in 1999 and 96% occupied in 1998.
Total revenue was $134.7 million for 2000, $119.0 million for 1999, and $103.6
million for 1998. During 1998, 1999 and 2000, WRIT acquired eight office
buildings, one retail center, one multifamily building and five industrial
properties. During 1998, 1999 and 2000, WRIT sold two office properties, four
industrial properties and three retail centers. These acquisitions and
dispositions were the primary reason for the shifting of each group's percentage
of total revenue reflected above. No single tenant accounted for more than 3.64%
of revenues in 2000, 3.81% of revenues in 1999 and 3.96% of revenue in 1998. All
Federal government tenants in the aggregate accounted for approximately 2.6% of
WRIT's 2000 total revenue. Various agencies of the U.S. government are counted
separately and include the Department of Commerce, Immigration and
Naturalization Service, U.S. Postal Service, Social Security Administration and
U.S. Patent Office. WRIT's larger non-Federal government tenants include
Suntrust Bank, District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department, Giant Food,
Main Control, Inc., OAO Corporation, Pepsi Cola, Sun Microsystems, Sunrise
Assisted Living, Inc., The American Red Cross, Wang Laboratories and Xerox.
As of December 31, 2000, and for the year then ended, the 7900 Westpark office
building accounted for 12.7% of total assets based upon book value and 9.5% of
total revenues. No other single property accounted for more than 10% of total
assets or total revenues.
During 1998 and prior, the actual day-to-day property management functions at
the properties owned by the Trust were carried out by an independent management
company whose only client was WRIT. No WRIT Trustee or officer was a director
or owned any interest in the management company. Effective December 31, 1998,
WRIT acquired substantially all of the operations of the management company and
took over the property management functions of the properties.
The Trust expects to continue investing in additional income producing
properties. WRIT only invests in properties which management believes will
increase in income and value. WRIT's properties compete for
-6-
tenants with other properties throughout the respective areas in which they are
located on the basis of location, quality and rental rates.
WRIT makes capital improvements on an ongoing basis to its properties for the
purpose of maintaining and increasing their values and income. Major
improvements and/or renovations to the properties in 2000 and 1999 are discussed
on page 18.
Further description of the property groups is contained in Item 2, Properties
and in Schedule III. Reference is also made to Item 7, Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The number of persons employed by the Trust was 263 as of January 31, 2001
including 178 persons engaged in property management functions and 85 persons
engaged in corporate, financial, leasing, and asset management functions.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
----------
The schedule on the following page lists the Trust's real estate investment
portfolio as of December 31, 2000, which consisted of 57 properties.
As of December 31, 2000, the percent leased is the percentage of net rentable
area for which fully executed leases exist and may include signed leases for
space not yet occupied by the tenant.
Cost information is included in Schedule III to WRIT's financial statements
included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

OFFICE BUILDINGS
- ----------------
Operating income in WRIT's core group of office buildings (excluding 2000 and
1999 acquisitions and dispositions) increased 10% from 1999 to 2000. This
increase was a result of strong rental rate growth with some moderate occupancy
gains throughout the sector. WRIT's office markets are strong and, while there
is a significant amount of office development underway in several submarkets,
management anticipates that this sector will continue to perform well in 2001.
Economic occupancy rates for the core group of office buildings averaged 97% for
2000 and 1999.
Rental rate increases of 7% for the core group of office buildings were the
result of increases at nearly all of the properties. During 2000, WRIT executed
new leases for 758,000 square feet of office space at an average face rent
increase of 18% on a non-straight line basis.
Further details about the performance of the office building sector in 2000 and
1999 are provided in Management's Discussion and Analysis commencing on page 15.

Rental rate increases of 4% for the core group of industrial properties were the
result of increases at the majority of the properties. During 2000, WRIT
executed new leases for 1,083,000 square feet of industrial space at an average
face rent increase of 19% on a non-straight line basis.

leases for 181,000 square feet of retail space at an average face rent increase
of 15% on a non-straight line basis.
Further details about the performance of the retail center sector in 2000 and

APARTMENT BUILDINGS
- -------------------
WRIT's apartment sector core group operating income (excluding the Avondale
Apartments acquired in 1999) increased 11%. This increase was the result of the

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
---------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
REAL ESTATE RENTAL REVENUE: 2000 VERSUS 1999
- --------------------------------------------
Total revenues for 2000 increased $15.8 million, or 13%, to $134.7 million from
$119.0 million in 1999. The percentage increase in real estate rental revenue
from 1999 to 2000 by property type was as follows:
Office Buildings 15%
Retail Centers 1%
Multifamily 14%
Industrial 19%
During 2000, WRIT's office building revenues and operating income increased by
15% and 17%, respectively, over 1999. These increases were primarily due to
increased rental rates for the sector, 2000 acquisitions of Wayne Plaza and
Courthouse Square and 1999 acquisitions of 600 Jefferson Plaza, 1700 Research
Boulevard and Parklawn Plaza, offset in part by the 1999 sales of Arlington
Financial Center and 444 N. Frederick Road and a slight decline in occupancy
rates.
During 2000, WRIT's retail center revenues and operating income increased by 1%
and 2%, respectively, over 1999. The increases were due to the 2000 acquisition
of 833 S. Washington Street combined with increased rental rates and occupancy
levels, offset by the 2000 sales of Prince William Plaza and Clairmont Center.
WRIT's multifamily revenues and operating income increased by 14% and 19%,
respectively, in 2000 over 1999. These increases were primarily due to the 1999
acquisition of Avondale Apartments, combined with increased rental rates and
occupancy levels across the sector.
WRIT's industrial revenues and operating income increased by 19% and 21%,
respectively, in 2000 over 1999. These increases were primarily due to the 1999
acquisitions of Dulles South IV, Amvax and Sully Square, as well as increased
rental rates and occupancy levels primarily at Northern Virginia Industrial
Park, offset in part by the loss of revenues from the 1999 sales of the
Department of Commerce Industrial Center and V Street Distribution Center.
REAL ESTATE RENTAL REVENUE: 1999 VERSUS 1998
- --------------------------------------------
Total revenues for 1999 increased $15.4 million, or 15%, to $119.0 million from
$103.6 million in 1998. The percentage increase in real estate rental revenue
from 1998 to 1999 by property type was as follows:
Office Buildings 20%
Retail Centers 4%
Multifamily 8%
Industrial 20%
During 1999, WRIT's office building revenues and operating income increased by
20% and 23%, respectively, over 1998. These increases were primarily due to
1999 acquisitions of 600 Jefferson Plaza and 1700 Research Boulevard and 1998
acquisitions of 8230 Boone Boulevard and Woodburn Medical Park I and II combined
with increased rental rates and occupancy levels for the sector and offset in
part by the 1999 sales of Arlington Financial Center and 444 N. Frederick Road.
During 1999, WRIT's retail center revenues and operating income increased by 4%
and 2%, respectively, over 1998. The change was primarily attributable to
increased rental rates and tenant recovery income across the sector offset by
the December 1998 sale of Dover Mart retail center.
-15-
WRIT's multifamily revenues and operating income increased by 8% and 9%,
respectively, in 1999 over 1998. These increases were primarily due to the 1999
acquisition of Avondale Apartments, combined with increased rental rates and
occupancy levels across the sector.
WRIT's industrial revenues and operating income increased by 20% and 16%,
respectively, in 1999 over 1998. These increases were primarily due to 1999
acquisitions of Dulles South IV and Amvax and 1998 acquisitions of Northern
Virginia Industrial Park and 8900 Telegraph Road as well as increased rental
rates across the sector, offset in part by the 1999 sales of the Department of
Commerce Industrial Center and V Street Distribution Center.
OPERATING EXPENSES AND OTHER RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------
Real estate operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were 28% for 2000 as
compared to 30% for 1999 and 1998. The decrease in 2000 compared to 1999 and
1998 is attributable to a 15% revenue increase in WRIT's office building segment
resulting from 2000, 1999 and 1998 property acquisitions and increased rental
rates, combined with only an 11% increase in the office building segment's
operating expenses. WRIT's percentage of revenue from office buildings,
including medical buildings, within its entire real estate portfolio has
increased to 53% at December 31, 2000, from 52% December 31, 1999 and 50% at
December 31, 1998. The increase is attributable to 2000, 1999 and 1998 office
building acquisitions. 3.9% of the real estate portfolio revenues are
attributable to WRIT's medical office buildings which WRIT considers to have
less exposure to potential competition than typical office buildings. WRIT's
percentage of revenue from industrial centers increased to 14.3% at December 31,
2000 from 13.6% at December 31, 1999 and 13.1% at December 31, 1998. The
increase is attributable to 1999 and 1998 acquisitions. Generally, real estate
operating expenses have increased to $38.3 million in 2000 from $35.3 million in
1999 and $31.1 million in 1998 due to the acquisition of three real estate
properties in 2000, seven real estate properties in 1999 and six real estate
properties in 1998.
Interest expense increased $3.3 million in 2000 from 1999. The increase is
primarily attributable to a higher average unsecured line of credit balance
outstanding combined with higher variable interest rates, the issuance of $55.0
million in medium-term notes in November 2000 used to pay off WRIT's unsecured
lines of credit and the assumption of an $8.7 million mortgage in September 1999
in connection with the acquisition of Avondale Apartments. Interest expense
increased $5.2 million in 1999 from 1998 primarily due to the assumption of an
$8.7 million mortgage in September 1999 in connection with the acquisition of
Avondale Apartments, the issuance of $110.0 million medium-term notes in
February 1998 and the assumption of $21.6 million in mortgages in November 1998
in connection with the acquisition of Woodburn Medical Park. In addition, WRIT
closed on a $50.0 mortgage note in September 1999 at a 7.14% interest rate that
was used to pay off WRIT's unsecured lines of credit at slightly lower interest
rates.
General and administrative expenses were $7.5 million for 2000 as compared to
$6.2 million for 1999 and $6.6 million for 1998. The increase in general and
administrative expenses in 2000 from 1999 was primarily attributable to
increased compensation due to the increased portfolio and growth of the Trust.
The decrease in general and administrative expenses in 1999, as compared to
1998, was primarily attributable to increased property management profits in
1999 that in turn reduced the administrative expenses of the Trust.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
- -------------------------------
WRIT has utilized the proceeds of share offerings, unsecured and secured debt
issuance (medium and long-term fixed interest rate debt), bank lines of credit
and cash flow from operations for its capital needs. Management believes that
external sources of capital will continue to be available to WRIT from its
existing unsecured bank line of credit commitments and from selling additional
shares and/or the sale of medium or long-term secured or unsecured notes. The
funds raised would be used for new acquisitions and capital improvements.
Management believes that WRIT has the liquidity and the capital resources
necessary to meet all of its known obligations and to make additional property
acquisitions and capital improvements when appropriate to enhance long-term
growth.
As of December 31, 2000, WRIT had line of credit commitments in place from
commercial banks for up to $75.0 million, which bear interest at an adjustable
spread over LIBOR based on the Trust's interest coverage ratio
-16-
and public debt ratings. WRIT acquired three improved properties and the land
under Munson Hill Towers for a total acquisition cost of $26.6 million in 2000,
and acquired seven properties for a total acquisition cost of $61.9 million in
1999. The 2000 acquisitions were financed by line of credit advances and the use
of proceeds from property sales in February and August 2000. WRIT disposed of
two properties in 2000 resulting in net proceeds of $5.7 million. The proceeds
from these sales were used to partially fund 2000 acquisitions. On November 6,
2000, WRIT sold $55.0 million of 7.78% unsecured notes due November 2004. The
notes bear an effective interest rate of 7.89%. Total proceeds to the Trust, net
of underwriting fees, were $54.8 million. WRIT used the proceeds of these notes
to repay advances on its lines of credit.
The 1999 acquisitions were financed by line of credit advances, the use of
proceeds from property sales in February 1999 and the assumption of a non-
recourse mortgage payable of $8.7 million. WRIT disposed of six properties in
1999 resulting in net proceeds of $22.0 million. On September 27, 1999, WRIT
closed on a $50.0 million mortgage note payable, the proceeds of which were used
to pay down WRIT's unsecured lines of credit. The mortgage is secured by WRIT's
five Virginia multifamily properties.
The 1998 acquisitions were primarily financed through line of credit advances,
from the February 1998 issuance of $110.0 million of medium-term notes (after
repayment of amounts outstanding on line of credit borrowings of $95.0 million),
the assumption of mortgages amounting to $21.6 million and from the reinvestment
of the of $10.8 million proceeds of the sales of three properties in 1998.
On February 20, 1998, WRIT sold $50.0 million of 7.25% unsecured notes due
February 25, 2028 at 98.653% to yield approximately 7.36%. WRIT also sold
$60.0 million of 6.898% unsecured Mandatory Par Put Remarketed Securities
("MOPPRS") at an effective borrowing rate through the remarketing date (February
2008) of approximately 6.74%. WRIT used the proceeds of these notes for general
business purposes, including repayment of $95.3 million of outstanding advances
under its lines of credit. WRIT used the remainder of the proceeds to finance
acquisitions and capital improvements to its properties. WRIT had four interest
rate lock agreements related to this transaction which settled for $5.4 million
and treated that settlement and the cost of a related interest rate cap
agreement as transaction costs of the borrowing. These costs are being amortized
over the life of the unsecured notes using the effective interest rate method.
Cash flow from operating activities totaled $62.0 million, $53.2 million and
$53.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, including net income of $45.1 million (net of $3.6 million gain on
property sales), $44.3 million (net of $7.9 million gain on property sales) and
$41.1 million (net of $6.8 million gain on property sales), respectively, and
depreciation and amortization of $22.7 million, $19.6 million and $15.4 million,
respectively. The increase in cash flows from operating activities in 2000 from
1999 was primarily due to real estate acquisitions, increased operating income
from previously owned properties and the resultant increase in net income. The
decrease in cash flows from operating activities in 1999 from 1998 was primarily
due to the timing of payments for trade accounts payable.
Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $37.4 million, $49.9 million and
$68.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The decline in cash flows used in investing activities in 2000
from 1999 and in 1999 from 1998 is attributable to a reduction in real estate
acquisitions.
Cash flows used in financing activities were $22.9 million and $3.2 million for
the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, compared to cash flows
provided by financing activities of $12.0 million for the year ended December
31, 1998. Cash flows used in financing activities in 2000 compared to 1999
increased as a result of increased dividend payments in 2000, increased line of
credit repayments in excess of advances, offset by net proceeds from the debt
offering in 2000. Cash flows used in financing activities in 1999 declined from
1998 as a result of increased dividend payments in 1999, offset by decreased
line of credit repayments in excess of advances and no debt issuance in 1999.
Rental revenue has been the principal source of funds to pay WRIT's operating
expenses, interest expense and dividends to shareholders. In 2000, 1999 and
1998, WRIT paid dividends totaling $44.0 million, $41.3 million and $39.6
million, respectively.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
- --------------------
Capital improvements of $16.3 million were completed in 2000, including tenant
improvements. Capital improvements to WRIT properties in 1999 and 1998 were
approximately $18.4 million and $18.7 million, respectively.
WRIT's capital improvement costs for 1998 - 2000 were as follows (in thousands):
Year Ended December 31,
------------------------------------------
2000 1999 1998
------- ------- -------
Accretive capital improvements:
Acquisition related $ 1,640 $ 5,716 $ 4,943
Expansions and major renovations 892 5,929 2,856
Tenant improvements 6,342 2,342 5,653

Total Accretive capital
improvements 8,874 13,987 13,452
Other: 7,394 4,384 5,200
------- ------- -------
Total $16,268 $18,371 $18,652
======= ======= =======
Accretive Capital Improvements
- ------------------------------
Acquisition Related - These are capital improvements to properties acquired
during the current and preceding two years which were planned during WRIT's
investment analysis. In 2000, the most significant of these improvements were
made to Pickett Industrial Center, Northern Virginia Industrial Park, Earhart
Building, South Washington Street Bethesda Hill Apartments and Munson Hill
Towers. In 1999, the most significant of these improvements were made to
7900 Westpark Drive, Woodburn Medical Park, Bethesda Hill Apartments, Ammendale
Technology Park II and Northern Virginia Industrial Park. In 1998, the most
significant of these improvements were made to Maryland Trade Center,
7900 Westpark, The Ashby at McLean, Bethesda Hill Apartments, Pickett Industrial
Center and Northern Virginia Industrial Park.
Expansions and Major Renovations - Expansions and major renovations increase the
rentable area of a property. During 1999, WRIT completed the 49,000 square foot
expansion at 7900 Westpark Drive. Major renovations are improvements sufficient
to increase the income otherwise achievable at a property. During 1999, WRIT
completed the renovation of the Bradlee Shopping Center.
Tenant Improvements - Tenant Improvements are costs associated with commercial
lease transactions such as painting and carpeting.
WRIT's average Tenant Improvement Costs for 1998 - 2000 per square foot of space
leased were as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
-----------------------------------------------------
2000 1999 1998
----- ----- -----
Office $4.71 $4.59 $5.05
Retail $1.81 $0.69 $1.30
Industrial $1.47 $0.55 $1.61
-18-
The Retail and Industrial Tenant Improvement costs are substantially lower than
Office Improvement costs because the tenant improvements required in these
property types are substantially less extensive than in offices. WRIT's office
tenant improvement costs are among the lowest in the industry for a number of
reasons. Approximately 81% of our office tenants renew their leases with WRIT,
and renewing tenants generally require minimal tenant improvements. In
addition, lower tenant improvement costs is one of the many benefits of WRIT's
focus on leasing to smaller office tenants. Smaller office suites have limited
configuration alternatives. Therefore, WRIT is often able to lease an existing
suite with tenant improvements being limited to new paint and carpet.
Other Capital Improvements
- --------------------------
Other Capital Improvements are those not included in the above categories.
These are also referred to as recurring capital improvements. Over time these
costs will be reincurred to maintain a property's income and value. In the
Trust's residential properties, these include new appliances, flooring,
cabinets, bathroom fixtures, and the like. These improvements are made as
needed upon vacancy of an apartment and averaged $855 for the 768 apartments
turned over in 2000. In 2000, WRIT also expensed an average of $350 per
apartment turnover for items which do not have a long-term life and are,
therefore, not capitalized.
YEAR 2000
- ---------
WRIT's Year 2000 Project completion resulted in no interruption or failure of
normal business activities or operations. No material failures or significant
interruptions were experienced that materially or adversely affected WRIT's
results of operations, liquidity or financial condition. The total costs
incurred to become Year 2000 compliant were not material to WRIT's financial
position. Any future cost associated with Year 2000 compliancy is not expected
to be material to WRIT's financial position.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------
This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and
uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements include (a) WRIT's intention to
invest in properties that it believes will continue to increase in income and
value; (b) WRIT's belief that its real estate markets will continue to perform
well; (c) WRIT's belief that external sources of capital will continue to be
available and that additional sources of capital will be available from the sale
of shares or notes; (d) WRIT's belief that it has the liquidity and capital
resources necessary to meet its known obligations and to make additional
property acquisitions and capital improvements when appropriate to enhance long-
term growth and (e) other statements preceded by, followed by or that include
the words "believes," "expects," "intends," "anticipates," "potential" and other
similar expressions.
WRIT claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements
contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for the
foregoing statements. The following important factors, in addition to those
discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report, could affect WRIT's future results
and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in the
forward-looking statements: (a) the economic health of WRIT's tenants; (b) the
economic health of the Greater Washington-Baltimore region, or other markets
WRIT may enter, including the effects of changes in Federal government spending;
(c) the supply of competing properties; (d) inflation; (e) consumer confidence;
(f) unemployment rates; (g) consumer tastes and preferences; (h) stock price and
interest rate fluctuations; (i) WRIT's future capital requirements; (j)
competition; (k) compliance with applicable laws, including those concerning the
environment and access by persons with disabilities; (l) weather conditions and
(m) the effects of changes in capital availability to the technology and
biotechnology sectors of the economy.
RATIOS OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES AND DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE
- -------------------------------------------------------------
The following table sets forth the Trust's ratios of earnings to fixed charges
and debt service coverage for the periods shown:
-19-
Year Ended December 31,
---------------------------------------------
2000 1999 1998
---- ---- ----
Earnings to fixed charges 2.63x 2.61x 3.01x
Debt service coverage 3.40x 3.42x 3.84x
We computed the ratios of earnings to fixed charges by dividing earnings by
fixed charges. For this purpose, earnings consist of income from continuing
operations plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense,
including interest costs capitalized, and the amortized costs of debt issuance.
We computed debt service coverage ratio by dividing earnings before interest
income and expense, depreciation, amortization and gain on sale of real estate
by interest expense and principal amortization.
ITEM 7A. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
----------------------------------------------------------
The principal material financial market risk to which WRIT is exposed is
interest-rate risk. WRIT's exposure to market risk for changes in interest
rates relates primarily to refinancing long-term fixed rate obligations, the
opportunity cost of fixed rate obligations in a falling interest rate
environment and its variable rate lines of credit. WRIT primarily enters into
debt obligations to support general corporate purposes including acquisition of
real estate properties, capital improvements and working capital needs. In the
past WRIT has used interest rate hedge agreements to hedge against rising
interest rates in anticipation of imminent refinancing or new debt issuance.
The table below presents principal, interest and related weighted average
interest rates by year of maturity, with respect to debt outstanding on
December 31, 2000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders of
Washington Real Estate Investment Trust:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Washington Real
Estate Investment Trust (the "Trust," a Maryland real estate investment trust)
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated
statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Trust and subsidiaries as
of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The financial statement schedule
included on pages 43 through 45 of the Form 10-K is presented for the purpose of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects the
financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

WASHINGTON REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
------------------------------------------
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
----------------------------------------------------
1. Nature of Business:
Washington Real Estate Investment Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust
("WRIT" or the "Trust"), is a self-administered, self managed equity real estate
investment trust, successor to a trust organized in 1960. The Trust's business
consists of the ownership and operation of income-producing real estate
properties in the greater Washington - Baltimore region.
WRIT operates in a manner intended to enable it to qualify as a real estate
investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). In accordance
with the Code, a trust which distributes its capital gains and at least 95
percent of its taxable income to its shareholders each year, and which meets
certain other conditions, will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable
income which is distributed to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for
federal income taxes is required.
2. Accounting Policies:
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Trust and its majority owned subsidiaries, after eliminating all intercompany
transactions.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", was issued. This
statement (as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities--Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
133") establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts
(collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. It
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically
designated as (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a
recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge of
the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge
of the foreign currency exposure to a net investment in a foreign operation, an
unrecognized firm commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a foreign-
currency-denominated forecasted transaction. This statement is effective for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2001. Although WRIT
currently has no derivative instruments, this statement will affect the
reporting of derivative instruments acquired by WRIT in future periods. WRIT has
entered into interest rate protection agreements to reduce its exposure to
interest rate risk on anticipated borrowings. The costs (if any) of such
agreements which qualify for hedge accounting are included in other assets and
are amortized over the interest rate protection agreement term. In the event
that interest rate protection agreements that qualify for hedge accounting are
terminated or are closed out, the associated gain or loss is deferred and
amortized over the term of the underlying hedged asset or liability. Amounts to
be paid or received under interest rate protection agreements are accrued
currently and are netted with interest expense for financial statement
presentation purposes.
Revenue Recognition
Residential properties are leased under operating leases with terms of generally
one year or less, and commercial properties are leased under operating leases
with average terms of three to five years. WRIT recognizes rental income and
rental abatements from its residential and commercial leases when earned on the
straight-line method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 13. WRIT records an allowance for doubtful accounts
equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. This estimate is based on WRIT's
historical experience and a review of the current status of its receivables.
Contingent rents are recorded when cumulative sales
-31-
exceed the amount necessary for the contingent rents to equal minimum annual
rent, and WRIT has been informed of cumulative sales data; thereafter,
percentage rent is accrued based on subsequent sales.
Minority Interest
WRIT entered into an operating agreement with a member of the previous ownership
entity of Northern Virginia Industrial Park in conjunction with the acquisition
of this property in May 1998. This resulted in a minority ownership interest in
this property based upon defined company ownership units at the date of
purchase. WRIT accounts for this activity by allocating the percentage
ownership interest of the net operating income of the property to minority
interest. Quarterly distributions are made to the minority owner equal to the
quarterly dividend per share for each ownership unit.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs associated with the issuance of mortgage and other notes and draws on
lines of credit are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest rate
method over the term of the related notes and are included in interest expense
on the accompanying statements of income.
Real Estate and Depreciation
Buildings are depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives
not exceeding 50 years. All capital improvement expenditures associated with
replacements, improvements, or major repairs to real property are depreciated
using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3
to 30 years. All tenant improvements are amortized over the shorter of the
useful life or the term of the lease. Maintenance and repair costs are charged
to expense as incurred.
WRIT recognizes impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present and the net undiscounted cash flows
estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying
amount. Impairment is generally assessed through comparison of amortized value
to fair value. There were no property impairments recognized during the three-
year period ending December 31, 2000.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include investments readily convertible to known
amounts of cash with original maturities of 90 days or less.
Comprehensive Income
WRIT has no items of comprehensive income that would require separate reporting
in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Earnings Per Common Share
"Basic earnings per share" is computed as net income divided by the weighted-
average common shares outstanding. "Diluted earnings per share" is computed as
net income divided by the total weighted average common shares outstanding plus
the effect of dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding for the period.
Dilutive common equivalent shares reflect the assumed issuance of additional
common shares pursuant to certain of the Trust's share based compensation plans
(see Note 8) that could potentially reduce or "dilute" earnings per share, based
on the treasury stock method.
-32-
The weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the years ended December
31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were 35.7 million shares for each respective year and
35.9 million, 35.7 million and 35.7 million on a diluted basis for the years
ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998.
Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.
3. Real Estate Investments:
WRIT's real estate investment portfolio, at cost, consists of properties located
in Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Virginia as follows:

Industrial 117,941 113,596
-------- --------
$698,513 $661,870
======== ========
WRIT's results of operations are dependent on the overall economic health of its
tenants and the specific segments in which WRIT holds properties, as well as the
overall economic health of the markets in which it owns property. These segments
include commercial office, multifamily, retail and industrial. Although all
sectors are affected by external factors, such as inflation, consumer
confidence, unemployment rates and consumer tastes and preferences, the retail
segment is particularly sensitive to such factors. A decline in the retail
sector of the economy could reduce merchant sales, which could adversely affect
the operating results of WRIT.
As of December 31, 2000, 7900 Westpark office building accounted for 13 percent
of total assets and 9 percent of total revenues. No other single property or
tenant accounted for more than 10 percent of total assets or total revenues.

4. Mortgage Notes Payable:
On August 22, 1995, WRIT assumed a $7.8 million mortgage note payable as partial
consideration for its acquisition of Frederick County Square retail center. The
mortgage bears interest at 9 percent. Principal and interest are payable
monthly until January 1, 2003, at which time all unpaid principal and interest
are payable in full.
On November 30, 1998, WRIT assumed a $9.2 million mortgage note payable and a
$12.4 million mortgage note payable as partial consideration for its acquisition
of Woodburn Medical Park I and II. Both mortgages bear interest at 7.69 percent
per annum. Principal and interest are payable monthly until September 15, 2005,
at which time all unpaid principal and interest are payable in full.
On September 20, 1999, WRIT assumed an $8.7 million mortgage note payable as
partial consideration for its acquisition of the Avondale Apartments. The
mortgage bears interest at 7.88 percent per annum. Principal and interest are
payable monthly until November 1, 2005, at which time all unpaid principal and
interest are payable in full.
On September 27, 1999, WRIT executed a $50.0 million mortgage note payable
secured by Munson Hill Towers, Country Club Towers, Roosevelt Towers, Park Adams
Apartments, and the Ashby Apartments. The mortgage bears interest at 7.14
percent per annum and is payable monthly until October 1, 2009, at which time
all unpaid principal and interest are payable in full. These funds were used to
repay advances on its lines of credit.
Annual payments of mortgage principal as of December 31, 2000 are as follows:

5. Unsecured Lines of Credit Payable:
During 2000, WRIT maintained two unsecured lines of credit: a $25.0 million
line of credit ("Credit Facility No. 1") and a $50.0 million line of credit
("Credit Facility No. 2").
Credit Facility No. 1
WRIT had $0 and $22.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, related to Credit Facility No. 1.
The following advances have been made under this commitment:
Advance Date Paid Amount 2000 1999 1998
Date in Full (In thousands) Rate Rate Rate
- ----------------- ---------------- -------------- ------- -------- ---------
November 1997 February 1998 $25,000 -- -- 6.64%-8.50%
May 1999 July 1999 12,000 -- 5.67% --
Mar. - Sept. 1999 Jan. - March 2000 22,000 6.33% 6.33% --
Jan. - March 2000 November 2000 $22,000 7.33% -- --
Prior to March 17, 1999, all new advances and interest rate adjustments, upon
the expiration of WRIT's interest lock-in dates, bore interest at LIBOR plus a
spread based on WRIT's public debt rating. All unpaid interest and principal
could be prepaid prior to the expiration of WRIT's interest rate lock-in periods
subject to a yield maintenance obligation.
-35-
On March 17, 1999, WRIT executed an amended and restated agreement extending the
maturity date to March 17, 2002. Under the amended agreement, WRIT may choose
either a Corporate Base Rate ("CBR") or a LIBOR advance. Both advances have
interest rates based on the applicable rate plus a spread based on the most
recent ratings from Moody's and/or S&P for WRIT's long-term unsecured debt.
This $25.0 million credit commitment requires WRIT to pay the lender an unused
commitment fee at the rate of 0.375 percent per annum on the amount by which the
$25.0 million commitment exceeds the balance of outstanding advances and term
loans. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, $25.0 million and $3.0 million,
respectively, of this commitment was unused and available for subsequent
acquisitions or capital improvements. This fee is paid quarterly. This
commitment also contains certain financial and non-financial covenants including
debt service coverage, net worth, and permitted indebtedness ratios, which WRIT
has met as of December 31, 2000. In addition, this commitment requires approval
to be obtained from the lender for purchases by the Trust over an agreed upon
amount.
Credit Facility No. 2
WRIT had $0 and $11.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, related to Credit Facility No. 2.
The following advances have been made under this commitment:
Advance Date Paid Amount 2000 1999 1998

August 2000 November 2000 4,000 6.86%-7.51% -- --
October 2000 November 2000 $14,000 7.46% -- --
On July 25, 1999, WRIT executed an agreement to amend and restate the original
Credit Facility No. 2 agreement. All unpaid interest and principal are due July
2002 and can be prepaid prior to this date without any prepayment fee or yield
maintenance obligation. Any new advances shall bear interest at LIBOR plus a
spread based on WRIT's public debt rating.
Credit Facility No. 2 provides WRIT the option to convert any advances or
portions thereof into a term loan at any time through July 2002. The principal
amount of each term loan, if any, shall be repaid in July 2002.
This $50.0 million credit commitment requires WRIT to pay the lender an unused
commitment fee ranging from 0.15 to 0.25 percent per annum based on WRIT's
public debt rating. The fee is paid on the amount by which the $50.0 million
commitment exceeds the balance of outstanding advances and term loans. At
December 31, 2000 and 1999, $50.0 million and $39.0 million, respectively, of
this commitment was unused. This fee is paid quarterly in arrears. This
commitment also contains certain financial covenants including cash flow to debt
service, net worth, capitalization and permitted indebtedness ratios, which WRIT
has met as of December 31, 2000.
Information related to short-term borrowings are as follows (in thousands):

6. Senior and Medium-Term Notes Payable:
Senior Notes
On August 13, 1996 WRIT sold $50.0 million of 7.125 percent 7-year unsecured
notes due August 13, 2003, and $50.0 million of 7.25 percent unsecured 10-year
notes due August 13, 2006. The 7-year notes were sold at 99.107 percent of par
and the 10-year notes were sold at 98.166 percent of par. Net proceeds to the
Trust after deducting underwriting expenses were $97.6 million. The 7-year
notes bear an effective interest rate of 7.46 percent, and the 10-year notes
bear an effective interest rate of 7.49 percent, for a combined effective
interest rate of 7.47 percent. WRIT used the proceeds of these notes to repay
advances on its lines of credit and to finance acquisitions and capital
improvements
Medium-Term Notes
On February 20, 1998, WRIT sold $50.0 million of 7.25 percent unsecured notes
due February 25, 2028 at 98.653 percent to yield approximately 7.36 percent.
WRIT also sold $60.0 million in unsecured Mandatory Par Put Remarketed
Securities ("MOPPRS") at an effective borrowing rate through the remarketing
date (February 2008) of approximately 6.74 percent. The net proceeds to WRIT
after deducting loan origination fees was $102.8 million. WRIT used the
proceeds of these notes for general business purposes, including repayment of
outstanding advances under its lines of credit and to finance acquisitions and
capital improvements to its properties. WRIT's costs of the borrowings and
related closed hedge settlements of approximately $7.2 million will be amortized
over the lives of the notes using the effective interest method.
On November 6, 2000, WRIT sold $55.0 million of 7.78 percent unsecured notes due
November 2004. The notes bear an effective interest rate of 7.89 percent.
Total proceeds to the Trust, net of underwriting fees, were $54.8 million. WRIT
used the proceeds of these notes to repay advances on its lines of credit.
These notes contain certain financial and non-financial covenants, all of which
WRIT has met as of December 31, 2000.
7. Dividends:
The following is a breakdown of the taxable percentage of WRIT's dividends for
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively:
Ordinary Income Return of Capital
-------------------- ---------------------
2000 100% 0%
1999 100% 0%
1998 98% 2%
-37-
8. Share Options and Grants:
WRIT maintains an Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), which includes
qualified and non-qualified options. As of December 31, 2000, 1.8 million
shares may be awarded to eligible employees. Under the Plan, options, which are
issued at market price on the date of grant, vest after not more than two years
and expire ten years following the date of grant. Options may be granted under
the Plan at any time prior to June 25, 2001. Activity under the Plan is
summarized below:
2000 1999 1998
------------------------- -------------------------- -------------------------
Wtd Avg Wtd Avg Wtd Avg
Shares Ex Price Shares Ex Price Shares Ex Price
-------- ------------ -------- ------------- --------- -----------
Outstanding at January 1 1,273,000 $15.87 806,000 $16.83 409,000 $15.93
Granted 376,000 21.34 513,000 14.47 430,000 17.59
Exercised (6,000) 15.21 (12,000) 15.89 (8,000) 12.41
Expired (22,000) 14.74 (34,000) 17.28 (25,000) 16.76
Outstanding at December 31 1,621,000 17.16 1,273,000 15.87 806,000 16.83
Exercisable at December 31 1,008,000 16.31 560,000 16.54 288,000 15.90
The 1,008,000 exercisable options outstanding at December 31, 2000 have exercise
prices between $12.41 and $21.34, with a weighted-average exercise price of
$16.31 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 7.6 years. The
remaining 613,000 options have exercise prices between $14.47 and $21.34, with a
weighted average exercise price of $18.56 and a weighted average remaining
contractual life of 9.6 years.
WRIT accounts for the Plan under APB Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation
cost has been recognized. Had compensation cost for the Plan been determined
consistent with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," WRIT's
net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the following pro-
forma amounts:
2000 1999 1998
-------------- ----------- ------------
Net Income: As Reported $45,139 $44,301 $41,064
Pro-Forma 44,214 43,419 40,240
Basic Earnings Per Share: As Reported 1.26 1.24 1.15
Pro-Forma 1.24 1.22 1.13
Weighted-average fair value of options
granted 2.46 1.76 1.92
Weighted-average assumptions:
Expected lives (years) 7 7 7
Risk free interest rate 5.49% 6.42% 5.09%
Expected volatility 17.57% 21.05% 19.21%
Expected dividend yield 5.85% 7.12% 6.27%
The assumptions used in the calculations of weighted average fair value of
options granted are as prescribed under accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. Such assumptions may not be the same as those used by the
financial community and others in determining the fair value of such options.
WRIT has computed basic earnings per share. There was no impact of dilution of
common equivalent shares on the basic weighted-average shares outstanding for
the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998.
During 2000 and 1999, WRIT issued 36,417 and 12,299 share grants, respectively,
to executives and trustees of the Trust. The respective compensation expense
was recorded based upon the share price at the grant date. The Board of
Trustees awards share grants subject to Compensation Committee recommendations.
-38-
9. Benefit Plans:
During 1996, management adopted an Incentive Compensation Plan ("the
Compensation Plan") for its senior personnel which is intended to align their
compensation growth with shareholders' interests. Essentially, the Compensation
Plan limits future salary increases and provides cash bonus incentives, share
options under the Incentive Share Option Plan and share grants under the Share
Grant Plan based on financial performance of the Trust. The financial
incentives to management are earned after WRIT has achieved a prescribed level
of growth. This plan is effective from 1996 forward and is reviewed by the
Board of Trustees' Compensation Committee each year. The amounts charged to
expense for the share grants were $629.1 thousand, $183.2 thousand and $222.5
thousand for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
In 1997, WRIT implemented a Retirement Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan"). It
was established so that participants in the Savings Plan may elect to contribute
a portion of their earnings to the Savings Plan, and WRIT may, at its
discretion, make a voluntary contribution to the Savings Plan.
WRIT maintained a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for all eligible
employees through December 31, 1995. At December 31, 1995, all benefit accruals
under the plan were frozen and thus the projected benefit obligation ("PBO") and
the accumulated benefit obligation ("ABO") became equal. WRIT terminated the
plan as of December 31, 1999, and final participant distributions were made in
July 2000.
The Trust adopted a split dollar life insurance plan for senior officers,
excluding the President, Chief Executive Officer, in 2000. It is intended that
the Trust will recover its costs from the life insurance policies at death prior
to retirement, termination prior to retirement or at retirement age 65. It is
intended that the cash values of the policy in excess of the Trust's interest
can be used by the executive. The Trust has a security interest in the cash
value and death benefit of each policy to the extent of the sum of premium
payments made by the Trust.
The Trust has adopted a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for the Chief
Executive Officer. The plan allows for a deferral of a percentage of annual
cash compensation. Compensation deferred will be credited with interest equal
to the Trust's current cost of funds. As an incentive, if the Chief Executive
Officer should remain employed by WRIT until age 70, the compensation deferred
will be credited with an additional 2.5 percent per anum. In the event of death
or retirement prior to age 70, the compensation plus interest can be paid in
either a lump sum or in equal installments plus interest at the discretion of
the plan participant. The plan is unfunded and payments are to be made from
general assets of the Trust.
10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure of the
fair value of financial instruments. Whenever possible the estimated fair value
has been determined using quoted market information as of December 31, 2000.
The estimated fair value information presented is not necessarily indicative of
amounts the Trust could realize currently in a market sale since the Trust may
be unable to sell such instruments due to contractual restrictions or the lack
of an established market. The estimated market values have not been updated
since December 31, 2000, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ
significantly from the amounts presented.
Below is a summary of significant methodologies used in estimating fair values
and a schedule of fair values at December 31, 2000.
Cash and cash equivalents
Includes cash and commercial paper with remaining maturities of less than 90
days, which are valued at the carrying value.
Mortgage notes payable
Mortgage notes payable consist of instruments in which certain of the Trust's
real estate assets are used for collateral. The fair value of the mortgage
notes payable is estimated based upon dealer quotes for instruments with similar
terms and maturities.
Lines of credit payable
Lines of credit payable consist of bank facilities which the Trust uses for
various purposes including working capital, acquisition funding or capital
improvements. The lines of credit advances are priced at a specified rate plus
-39-
a spread. The carrying value of the lines of credit payable is estimated to be
market value since the interest rate adjusts with the market. There were no
outstanding balances due on the lines of credit at December 31, 2000.
Notes payable
Notes payable consists of $50 million, 7.125 %, 7 year unsecured notes due
August 13, 2003, $50 million, 7.25%, 10 year unsecured notes due August 13,
2006, $50 million, 7.25%, 20 year unsecured notes due February 25, 2028, $60
million unsecured Mandatory Par Put Remarketed Securities with an effective
yield of 6.74% and $55 million, 7.78%, 4 year unsecured notes due November 15,
2004. The fair value of these securities is estimated based on dealer quotes
for securities with similar terms and characteristics.

11. Rentals Under Operating Leases:
Noncancellable commercial operating leases provide for minimum rental income
during each of the next five years of approximately $91.5 million, $72.0
million, $54.6 million, $40.5 million, $27.1 million and $60.8 million
thereafter. Apartment leases are not included as they are generally for one
year. Most of these commercial leases increase in future years based on changes
in the Consumer Price Index or agreed-upon percentages. Contingent rentals from
the shopping centers, based on a percentage of tenants' gross sales, were
$217,000, $425,000 and $462,000 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
12. Contingencies:
In the normal course of business, WRIT is involved in various types of pending
or unasserted claims. In the opinion of management, these claims will not have
a material impact on the financial condition or future operations of the Trust.
13. Segment Information:
WRIT has four reportable segments: Office Buildings, Industrial, Multifamily
and Retail Centers. Office Buildings, including medical office buildings,
represent 53 percent of real estate rental revenue and provide office space for
various types of businesses. Industrial represents 14 percent of real estate
rental revenue and are used for warehousing and distribution. Multifamily
properties represent 19 percent of real estate rental revenue. These properties
provide housing for families throughout the Washington Metropolitan area.
Retail Centers represent the remaining 14 percent of real estate rental revenue
and are typically neighborhood grocery store or drug store anchored retail
centers.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note
2. WRIT evaluates performance based upon operating income from the combined
properties in each segment. WRIT's reportable segments are consolidations of
similar properties. They are managed separately because each segment requires
different operating, pricing and leasing strategies. All of these properties
have been acquired separately and are incorporated into the applicable segment.
