STRATUS
        PROPERTIES INC.
      NOTES
        TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
      | 1. | GENERAL | 
The
        accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
        conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
        for the
        year ended December 31, 2004, included in Stratus Properties Inc.’s (Stratus)
        Annual Report on Form 10-K (Stratus 2004 Form 10-K) filed with the Securities
        and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
        consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only
        of
        normal recurring items) considered necessary to present fairly the financial
        position of Stratus at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, and the results
        of
        operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005
        and
        2004, and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.
        Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,
        2005
        are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
        year
        ending December 31, 2005. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified
        to
        conform to the current year presentation.
      | 2. | NEW
                  ACCOUNTING STANDARD | 
Refer
        to
        Note 1 of the Stratus 2004 Form 10-K for information regarding Stratus’
        accounting for share-based payments, including stock options. Through June
        30,
        2005, Stratus has accounted for grants of employee stock options under the
        recognition principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
        “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, which
        require compensation costs for stock-based employee compensation plans to
        be
        recognized based on the difference on the date of grant, if any, between
        the
        quoted market price of the stock and the amount an employee must pay to acquire
        the stock. If Stratus had applied the fair value recognition provisions of
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for
        Stock-Based Compensation,” which requires stock-based compensation to be
        recognized based on the use of a fair value method, Stratus’ net income would
        have been reduced by $0.2 million, $0.02 per diluted share, for the second
        quarter of 2005 and $0.3 million, $0.04 per diluted share, for the first
        six
        months of 2005. In 2004, Stratus’ net loss would have been increased by $0.1
        million, $0.02 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2004 and $0.3
        million, $0.04 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2004.
      In
        December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
        No.
        123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R). SFAS No. 123R
        requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee
        stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their
        fair
        values. SFAS No. 123R’s effective date is interim periods beginning after June
        15, 2005. However, in April 2005 the Securities and Exchange Commission provided
        for a deferral of the effective date to fiscal periods beginning after June
        15,
        2005. Stratus is still reviewing the provisions of SFAS No. 123R and has
        not yet
        determined if it will adopt SFAS No. 123R before January 1, 2006. Based on
        currently outstanding employee stock options and based on the previously
        disclosed grant date Black-Scholes values of these outstanding options, Stratus
        estimates the pro forma charge to operating income for the full year
        2005
        would total approximately $0.7 million.
      | 3. | EARNINGS
                  PER SHARE | 
Stratus’
        basic net income (loss) per share of common stock was calculated by dividing
        net
        income (loss) applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of
        common shares outstanding during the period. The following is a reconciliation
        of net income (loss) and weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes
        of calculating diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands, except
        per
        share amounts):

Stock-Based
        Compensation Plans.
        As of
        June 30, 2005, Stratus had four stock-based employee and director compensation
        plans, which are described in Note 7 of the Stratus 2004 Form 10-K. Stratus
        accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles
        of APB
        Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. The following table illustrates
        the
        effect on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share if Stratus had
        applied
        the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to all stock-based
        employee compensation (in thousands, except per share amounts).

      | 6. | BUSINESS
                  SEGMENTS | 
Stratus
        has two operating segments, “Real Estate Operations” and “Commercial Leasing.”
        The Real Estate Operations segment is comprised of all Stratus’ developed
        properties, properties under development and undeveloped properties in Austin,
        Texas, which consist of its properties in the Barton Creek community, the
        Circle
        C community and Lantana. In addition, the Deerfield property in Plano, Texas
        is
        included in the Real Estate Operations segment.
      The
        Commercial Leasing segment includes the Lantana Corporate Center office complex
        at 7000 West, which consists of two fully leased 70,000-square-foot office
        buildings, as well as Stratus’ fully leased 75,000-square-foot office building
        at 7500 Rialto Boulevard. In March 2004, Stratus formed Southwest Property
        Services L.L.C. to manage these office buildings. Previously, Stratus had
        outsourced its property management functions to a property management firm.
        Effective June 30, 2004, Stratus terminated its agreement with this firm
        and
        Southwest Property Services L.L.C. is performing all property management
        responsibilities. The occupancy rate at Stratus’ 7500 Rialto Boulevard office
        building increased to 100 percent at June 30, 2005 from approximately 57
        percent
        at June 30, 2004.
      The
        segment data presented below (in thousands) was prepared on the same basis
        as

        FIRM
      To
        the
        Board of Directors and Stockholders
      of
        Stratus Properties Inc.:
      We
        have
        reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Stratus Properties
        Inc.
        (a Delaware Corporation) as of June 30, 2005, and the related consolidated
        statements of operations for each of the three-month and six-month periods
        ended
        June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for
        each
        of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. These interim financial
        statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
      We
        conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
        Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial
        information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making
        inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It
        is
        substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the
        standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
        the
        objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
        statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an
        opinion.
      Based
        on
        our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be
        made
        to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them to
        be in
        conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
        of
        America.
      We
        previously audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
        Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet
        of
        Stratus Properties Inc. as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated
        statements of income, of changes in stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for
        the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated March
        29,
        2005 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
        statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
        consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated in all
        material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which
        it
        has been derived.

Management's
        Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
        Operations.
      OVERVIEW
      Management’s
        discussion and analysis presented below should be read in conjunction with
        our
        discussion and analysis of financial results contained in our 2004 Annual
        Report
        on Form 10-K (2004 Form 10-K). The operating results summarized in this report
        are not necessarily indicative of our future operating
        results.
      We
        are
        engaged in the acquisition, development, management and sale of commercial,
        multi-family and residential real estate properties located primarily in
        the
        Austin, Texas area. We conduct real estate operations on properties we
        own.
      Our
        principal real estate holdings are in southwest Austin, Texas. Our most
        significant holding is the 1,914 acres of residential, multi-family and
        commercial property and 69 developed residential lots located within the
        Barton
        Creek community. We own an additional 426 acres of undeveloped residential,
        commercial and multi-family property and 37 acres of developed commercial
        property within the Circle C Ranch (Circle C) community. Our other properties
        in
        the Circle C community are currently being developed and include Meridian,
        which
        is an 800-lot residential development consisting of approximately 384 acres
        at
        June 30, 2005, and Escarpment Village, which is a retail center consisting
        of
        approximately 62 acres. Our remaining Austin holdings consist of 282 acres
        of
        commercial property and three fully leased office buildings in Lantana. The
        office buildings include a 75,000-square foot building at 7500 Rialto Boulevard,
        and two 70,000-square foot buildings at 7000 West William Cannon Drive, known
        as
        the Lantana Corporate Center. In January 2004, we acquired approximately
        68
        acres of land in Plano, Texas, which we refer to as Deerfield. At June 30,
        2005,
        our Deerfield property consists of approximately 47 acres of residential
        land,
        which is being developed, and 34 residential lots.
      DEVELOPMENT
        AND OTHER ACTIVITIES
      Lantana.
        We are
        working with Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NYSE: AMD) on site planning and
        related matters necessary to develop a proposed project at our Lantana property
        in southwest Austin. The AMD project consists of approximately 825,000 square
        feet of office and related uses located on a 59-acre site at the southeast
        corner of West William Cannon Drive and Southwest Parkway. Lantana is a
        partially developed, mixed-use project with remaining entitlements for
        approximately three million square feet of office and retail use on 282 acres.
        Regional utility and road infrastructure is in place with capacity to serve
        Lantana. Development of the AMD project is subject to several conditions,
        including finalizing definitive agreements and securing financing.

        30, 2005, our 75,000-square-foot office building at 7500 Rialto Boulevard
        was
        fully leased. As demand for office space within Lantana has increased, we
        plan
        to commence construction of a second 75,000-square-foot office building at
        7500
        Rialto Boulevard during the coming year, subject to securing suitable tenant
        leases.
      Downtown
        Austin Project.
        In April
        2005, the City of Austin (the City) selected our proposal to develop a mixed-use
        project in downtown Austin immediately north of the new City Hall complex.
        The
        project is planned for retail, office and residential uses, and will be the
        future site of the Austin Children’s Museum. We have entered an exclusive
        negotiation period with the City to reach agreement on the project’s design and
        transaction terms and structure. Subject to successful negotiations with
        the
        City, we plan to pursue this project in partnership with nationally recognized
        office, retail and apartment developers.
      Wimberly
        Lane Phase II.
        In May
        2004, we entered into a contract with a national homebuilder to sell 41 lots
        within the Wimberly Lane Phase II subdivision in the Barton Creek community.
        In
        June 2004, the homebuilder paid us a non-refundable $0.6 million deposit
        for the
        right to purchase the 41 lots, which was used to pay ongoing development
        costs
        of the lots. The deposit is being recognized as income as lots are sold.
        The
        lots are being sold on a scheduled takedown basis, with six lots sold in
        December 2004 following completion of subdivision utilities, and then three
        lots
        per quarter beginning in June 2005. The average purchase price for each of
        the
        41 lots is $150,400, subject to a six percent annual escalator commencing
        in
        December 2004. The initial lot closings occurred in December 2004. We expect
        scheduled homebuilder sales during the remainder of 2005 to total six lots
        for
        $0.9 million. Wimberly Lane Phase II also includes six estate lots, each
        averaging approximately five acres, which we are retaining and marketing.
        Estate
        lot sales in 2005 through June 30 included five lots (one in the first quarter
        and four in the second quarter) for $1.5 million.
Deerfield.
        In
        January 2004, we acquired the Deerfield property for $7.0 million. The property
        is zoned and subject to a preliminary subdivision plan for 234 residential
        lots.
        In February 2004, we executed an Option Agreement and a Construction Agreement
        with a national homebuilder. Pursuant to the Option Agreement, the homebuilder
        paid us $1.4 million for an option to purchase all 234 lots over 36 monthly
        take-downs. The net purchase price for each of the 234 lots is $61,500, subject
        to certain terms and conditions. The $1.4 million option payment is
        non-refundable, but will be applied against subsequent purchases of lots
        by the
        homebuilder after certain thresholds are achieved and will be recognized
        by us
        as income as lots are sold. The Construction Agreement requires the homebuilder
        to complete development of the entire project by March 15, 2007. We agreed
        to
        pay up to $5.2 million of the homebuilder’s development costs. The homebuilder
        must pay all property taxes and maintenance costs. In February 2004, we entered
        into a $9.8 million three-year loan agreement with Comerica Bank (Comerica)
        to
        finance the acquisition and development of Deerfield. Development is proceeding
        on schedule and we had $5.6 million in remaining availability under the loan
        at
        June 30, 2005. The initial lot sale occurred in November 2004 and subsequent
        lot
        sales are on schedule with 29 lot sales closing in the first half of 2005.
        Under
        the agreement terms, we expect to complete 47 lot sales for $2.9 million
        during
        the remainder of 2005.
      Circle
        C Community. We
        have
        commenced development activities at the Circle C community based on the
        entitlements secured in our Circle C settlement with the City, which permits
        development of one million square feet of commercial space, 900 multi-family
        units and 830 single-family residential lots. The preliminary plan has been
        approved for Meridian, an 800-lot residential development at the Circle C
        community. In October 2004, we received final City plat and construction
        permit
        approvals for the first phase of Meridian, and construction commenced in
        January. During the first quarter of 2005, we contracted to sell a total
        of 494
        lots in our Meridian project to three national homebuilders in four phases.
        Sales for each of the four phases commence upon substantial completion of
        development for that phase, and continue every quarter until all of the lots
        have been sold. The first phase, which is currently under development, includes
        134 lots and substantial completion is projected prior to year-end. Development
        of the second phase of approximately 134 lots will commence in the third
        quarter
        of 2005, with completion projected by early 2006. We estimate our sales from
        the
        first phase of Meridian to total at least 14 lots for $0.9 million during
        the
        remainder of 2005.
      In
        addition, several retail sites at the Circle C community received final City
        approvals and are being developed. Zoning for Escarpment Village, a
        160,000-square-foot retail project anchored by a grocery store, was approved
        during the second quarter of 2004, and construction has commenced with
        completion expected by mid-2006. In December 2004, we obtained an $18.5 million
        project loan from Comerica to fund the construction of Escarpment Village,
        as
        well as a $22.8 million commitment from the Teachers Insurance and Annuity
        Association of America (TIAA) for a long-term mortgage for the completed
        project.
      Calera.
        During
        2004, we completed construction of four courtyard homes at Calera Court within
        the Barton Creek community, one of which was sold in the first quarter of
        2004.
        Calera Court, the initial phase of the “Calera” subdivision, will include 17
        courtyard homes on 16 acres. Funding for the construction of courtyard homes
        at
        Calera Court is provided by a $3.0 million project loan established with
        Comerica in September 2003. The second phase of Calera, Calera Drive, consisting
        of 53 single-family lots many of which adjoin the Fazio Canyons Golf Course,
        has
        received final plat and construction permit approval. Development of these
        lots
        is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2005. Development
        of the
        third and last phase of Calera, which will include approximately 70
        single-family lots, is not expected to commence until after 2005.
      Office
        Buildings.
        During
        the first quarter of 2004, we executed leases that brought our 7500 Rialto
        Boulevard office building to 90 percent occupancy in July 2004, and at June
        30,
        2005, the office building was fully leased. In March 2004, we formed Southwest
        Property Services L.L.C. to manage our office buildings. Effective June 30,
        2004, we terminated our agreement with the third-party property management
        firm
        previously providing this function. Although there were some higher costs
        during
        the initial transition, we anticipate that this change in management
        responsibility should provide future cost savings for our commercial leasing
        operations and better control of building operations.

          RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS
      We
        are
        continually evaluating the development potential of our properties and will
        continue to consider opportunities to enter into transactions involving our
        properties. As a result, and because of numerous other factors affecting
        our
        business activities as described herein, our past operating results are not
        necessarily indicative of our future results.

Developed
        Property Sales. Developed
        property sales for the second quarter of 2005 included 13 lots at Deerfield
        for
        $0.8 million and three standard homebuilder lots for $0.5 million and four
        estate lots for $1.2 million at the Wimberly Lane Phase II subdivision.
        Second-quarter 2005 developed property sales also included eight other
        residential estate lots within the Barton Creek community, six at the Mirador
        subdivision for $3.3 million and two at the Escala Drive subdivision for
        $0.8
        million. The first six months of 2005 also included the sales of 16 lots
        at
        Deerfield for $1.0 million, a residential estate lot at the Escala Drive
        subdivision for $0.9 million and an estate lot at the Wimberly Lane Phase
        II
        subdivision for $0.3 million. Developed property sales for the second quarter
        of
        2004 included five residential estate lots within the Barton Creek community,
        three at the Escala Drive subdivision for $1.0 million and two at the Mirador
        subdivision for $0.8 million. The first six months of 2004 also included
        a
        residential estate lot at the Mirador subdivision for $0.4 million and the
        first
        courtyard home at Calera Court for $0.6 million.
      Undeveloped
        Property Sales.
        During
        the second quarter of 2004, we sold two tracts totaling three acres within
        the
        Circle C community for $1.4 million.
      Commissions,
        Management Fees and Other.
        Commissions, management fees and other revenues included sales of our
        development fee credits to third parties totaling $0.1 million in the second
        quarter of 2005, $0.2 million in the first six months of 2005 and $0.1 million
        in the first six months of 2004. We received these development fee credits
        as
        part of the Circle C settlement (see Note 8 of our 2004 Form 10-K). Commissions
        totaled $0.2 million in both of the 2005 periods, compared with less than
        $0.1
        million in the second quarter of 2004 and $0.1 million in the first six months
        of 2004, reflecting an increase in developed property sales in the 2005
        periods.
Cost
        of Sales.
        The
        increases in cost of sales for the second quarter and first six months of
        2005
        compared to the 2004 periods primarily relate to the increase in developed
        property sales in the 2005 periods.

Rental
        Income.
        In the
        second quarter of 2005, rental income from our 7000 West office buildings
        totaled $0.9 million, compared to $0.8 million for the 2004 period. In addition,
        we earned $0.3 million in rental income from our 7500 Rialto Boulevard office
        building for the second quarter of 2005, compared to $0.2 million for the
        second
        quarter of 2004, as the occupancy rate increased from approximately 57 percent
        in the second quarter of 2004 to 100 percent in the second quarter of
        2005.
      CAPITAL
        RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
      Six-Months
        2005 Compared with Six-Months 2004
      Although
        at June 30, 2005, we had a $15.9 million working capital deficit, we believe
        that we have adequate funds from our revolving credit facility and projected
        operating cash flows to meet our working capital requirements. Additionally,
        we
        expect to restructure or extend our 7500 Rialto Boulevard project loan ($6.5
        million balance in current liabilities at June 30, 2005) prior to its maturity
        in January 2006 (see below). Operating activities provided cash of $12.4
        million
        during the first six months of 2005, compared to $2.4 million during the
        first
        six months of 2004. Compared to the 2004 period, operating cash flows improved
        primarily because of the increase in sales activities and working capital
        changes.
      Cash
        used
        in investing activities totaled $19.1 million during the first six months
        of
        2005, compared to $13.5 million during the 2004 period. We acquired our
        Deerfield property for $7.0 million in the first quarter of 2004 and continued
        to develop the property in the first six months of 2005. Other real estate
        expenditures for the first six months of 2005 and 2004 included improvements
        to
        certain properties in the Barton Creek and Circle C communities. Development
        of
        our commercial leasing properties included the completion of certain tenant
        improvements to our 7000 West office buildings and 7500 Rialto Boulevard
        office
        building during the first six months of 2005 and 2004. The expenditures for
        the
        2004 period were partly offset by municipal utility district (MUD)
        reimbursements of $0.1 million.
      Financing
        activities provided cash of $7.6 million during the first six months of 2005
        compared to $9.0 million during the first six months of 2004. During the
        first
        half of 2005, our financing activities reflected $5.1 million of net borrowings
        under our revolving line of credit and $3.3 million of net borrowings from
        our
        project construction loans, including $4.8 million of borrowings from the
        Escarpment Village project loan. During the first half of 2004, our financing
        activities included $2.3 million of net borrowings from our revolving line
        of
        credit and $6.0 million of net borrowings from our project construction loans,
        including borrowings of $4.4 million from the Deerfield loan and $1.2 million
        from the Calera Court project loan. See “Credit Facility and Other Financing
        Arrangements” below for a discussion of our outstanding debt at June 30,
        2005.
      In
        2001,
        our Board of Directors approved an open market share purchase program for
        up to
        0.7 million shares of our common stock. Under this program, we purchased
        18,389
        shares during the second half of 2004 for $0.2 million, a $13.47 per share
        average. In the first six months of 2005, we purchased 60,995 shares for
        $1.0
        million, a $16.70 per share average. During the third quarter of 2005 through
        August 8, 2005, we purchased 720 shares for approximately $13,000, an $18.00
        per
        share average. A total of 619,896 shares remain available under this program.
        The timing of future purchases of our common stock is dependent on many factors
        including the price of our common shares, our cash flows and financial position,
        and general economic and market conditions.
Credit
        Facility and Other Financing Arrangements
      At
        June
        30, 2005, we had total debt of $64.1 million, including $7.9 million of current
        debt, compared to total debt of $55.6 million, including $1.5 million of
        current
        debt, at December 31, 2004. Our debt outstanding at June 30, 2005 consisted
        of
        the following:

                  maturity
                  to May 30, 2007. | 
| · | $10.0
                  million of borrowings outstanding under two unsecured $5.0 million
                  term
                  loans, one of which will mature in January 2008 and the other in
                  July

                  million of net borrowings under the $3.0 million Calera Court project
                  loan, secured by three courtyard homes at Calera Court. This project
                  loan
                  will mature in September 2005. | 
| · | $4.2
                  million of net borrowings under the $9.8 million Deerfield loan,
                  for which
                  the Deerfield property and any future improvements are serving
                  as
                  collateral. This project loan will mature in February

                  million of net borrowings under the $18.5 million Escarpment Village
                  project loan, which will mature in June
                  2007. | 
In
        addition, we have a $22.8 million commitment, which will be available in

      7500
        Rialto Boulevard Project Loan Amendment.
        Under
        the terms of an existing amendment, we executed a one-year option in January
        2004 to extend the maturity of our project loan for the 75,000-square-foot
        office building at 7500 Rialto Boulevard from January 31, 2004 to January
        31,
        2005, with a remaining option to extend the maturity for an additional one-year
        period. Effective January 31, 2005, we extended the loan for one year in
        accordance with the amendment. Under the terms of the maturity extension,
        we
        paid an extension fee of $18,500 and the commitment under the facility was
        reduced by $0.2 million to $7.4 million. We may make additional borrowings
        under
        this facility to fund certain tenant improvements. We expect to restructure
        or
        extend our 7500 Rialto Boulevard project loan ($6.5 million balance at June
        30,
        2005) prior to its maturity in January 2006.
      Outlook
      As
        discussed in “Risk Factors” located in our 2004 Form 10-K, our financial
        condition and results of operations are highly dependent upon market conditions
        in Austin. Our future operating cash flows and, ultimately, our ability to
        develop our properties and expand our business will be largely dependent
        on the
        level of our real estate sales. In turn, these sales will be significantly
        affected by future real estate market conditions in Austin, Texas, development
        costs, interest rate levels and regulatory issues including our land use
        and
        development entitlements. The Austin real estate market experienced a slowdown
        during the past several years which affected our operating results and
        liquidity. While current market conditions are improving, we cannot at this
        time
        project how long or to what extent improving conditions will
        persist.
      We
        have
        made progress securing permitting for our Austin-area properties (see “Company
        Strategies and Development Activities” in our 2004 Form 10-K). Significant
        development expenditures must be incurred and additional permits secured
        prior
        to the sale of certain properties. Certain of our properties benefit from
        grandfathered entitlements that are not subject to the development requirements
        currently in effect. We continue to engage in positive and cooperative dialogue
        with the City concerning land use and development permit issues.
      We
        are
        continuing to pursue additional development and management fee opportunities.
        We
        also believe that we can obtain bank financing for developing our properties
        at
        a reasonable cost.
NEW
        ACCOUNTING STANDARD
      Refer
        to
        Note 1 of our 2004 Form 10-K for information regarding our accounting for
        share-based payments, including stock options. Through June 30, 2005, we
        have
        accounted for grants of employee stock options under the recognition principles
        of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock
        Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, which require compensation
        costs for stock-based employee compensation plans to be recognized based
        on the
        difference on the date of grant, if any, between the quoted market price
        of the
        stock and the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. If we had
        applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial
        Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,”
        which requires stock-based compensation to be recognized based on the use
        of a
        fair value method, our net income would have been reduced by $0.2 million,
        $0.02
        per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2005 and $0.3 million, $0.04
        per
        diluted share, for the first six months of 2005. In 2004, our net loss would
        have been increased by $0.1 million, $0.02 per diluted share, for the second
        quarter of 2004 and $0.3 million, $0.04 per diluted share, for the first
        six
        months of 2004.
      In
        December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
        No.
        123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R). SFAS No. 123R
        requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee
        stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their
        fair
        values. SFAS No. 123R’s effective date is interim periods beginning after June
        15, 2005. However, in April 2005 the Securities and Exchange Commission provided
        for a deferral of the effective date to fiscal periods beginning after June
        15,
        2005. We are still reviewing the provisions of SFAS No. 123R and have not
        yet
        determined if we will adopt SFAS No. 123R before January 1, 2006. Based on
        currently outstanding employee stock options and based on the previously
        disclosed grant date Black-Scholes values of these outstanding options, we
        estimate the pro forma charge to operating income for the full year
        2005
        would total approximately $0.7 million.

        include economic and business conditions, business opportunities that may
        be
        presented to and pursued by us, changes in laws or regulations and other
        factors, many of which are beyond our control, and other factors that are

Quantitative
        and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
        Risk.
      There
        have been no significant changes in our market risks since the year ended
        December 31, 2004. For more information, please read the consolidated financial

Controls
        and Procedures.
      (a) Evaluation
        of disclosure controls and procedures.
        Our
        chief executive officer and chief financial officer, with the participation
        of
        management, have evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and
        procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities
        Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly
        report on Form 10-Q. Based on their evaluation, they have concluded that
        our
        disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them
        to
        material information relating to Stratus (including our consolidated
        subsidiaries) required to be disclosed in our periodic Securities and Exchange
        Commission filings.
      (b) Changes
        in internal controls.
        There
        has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that
        occurred during the second quarter that has materially affected, or is
        reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial
        reporting.

        1.Legal
        Proceedings.
      We
        may
        from time to time be involved in various legal proceedings of a character
        normally incident to the ordinary course of our business. We believe that
        potential liability from any of these pending or threatened proceedings will
        not
        have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of
        operations. We maintain liability insurance to cover some, but not all,
        potential liabilities normally incident to the ordinary course of our business
        as well as other insurance coverage customary in our business, with such
        coverage limits as management deems prudent.
