        STRATUS
      PROPERTIES INC.
    
    | 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, 2005, included in Stratus Properties Inc.’s (Stratus)
      Annual Report on Form 10-K (Stratus 2005 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 March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the results
      of
      operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006
      and
      2005. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are not
      necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
      December 31, 2006. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
      to the current year presentation. A change in accounting principle applied
      during 2006 is discussed below in Note 2.
    | 2. | STOCK-BASED
                COMPENSATION | 
Accounting
      for Stock-Based Compensation.
      As of
      March 31, 2006, Stratus has three stock-based employee compensation plans and
      one stock-based director compensation plan. Prior to January 1, 2006, Stratus
      accounted for options granted under all of its plans under the recognition
      and
      measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
      “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, as
      permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123,
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” APB Opinion No. 25 required
      compensation cost for stock options 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 (i.e., the intrinsic value).
      Because all the plans require that the option exercise price be at least the
      market price on the date of grant, Stratus recognized no compensation cost
      on
      the grant or exercise of its employees’ options through December 31, 2005. Other
      awards of restricted stock units under the plans did result in compensation
      costs being recognized in earnings based on the intrinsic value on the date
      of
      grant.
    Effective
      January 1, 2006, Stratus adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS
      No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” or “SFAS No. 123R,” using the
      modified prospective transition method. Under that transition method,
      compensation cost recognized in 2006 includes: (a) compensation costs for all
      stock option awards granted to employees prior to, but not yet vested as of
      January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance
      with
      the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all
      stock
      option awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date
      fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. Stratus
      granted no stock option awards in the first quarter of 2006. In addition, other
      stock-based awards charged to expense under SFAS No. 123 (i.e., restricted
      stock
      units) continue to be charged to expense under SFAS No. 123R. Results for prior
      periods have not been restated. Stratus has elected to recognize compensation
      costs for awards that vest over several years on a straight-line basis over
      the
      vesting period. Stratus’ stock option awards provide for an additional year of
      vesting after an employee retires. For stock option awards granted after January
      1, 2006, to retirement-eligible employees, Stratus will record one year of
      amortization of the awards’ value on the date of grant. In addition, prior to
      adoption of SFAS No. 123R, Stratus recognized forfeitures as they occurred
      in
      its SFAS No. 123 pro forma disclosures. Beginning January 1, 2006, Stratus
      includes estimated forfeitures in its compensation cost and updates the
      estimated forfeiture rate through the final vesting date of the
      awards.
    As
      a
      result of adopting SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, Stratus’ net income for the
      three months ended March 31, 2006, was $0.4 million ($0.05 per basic and diluted
      share) lower than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation
      under APB Opinion No. 25. Basic earnings per share would have been $2.30 per
      share and diluted earnings per share would have been $2.17 per share for the
      three months ended March 31, 2006, if Stratus had not adopted SFAS No. 123R,
      compared to reported earnings of $2.25 per basic share and $2.12 per diluted
      share.
    Stock-Based
      Compensation Cost.
      Compensation cost charged against earnings for stock-based awards is shown
      below
      (in thousands). Stock-based compensation costs are capitalized as appropriate,
      but such capitalization was not previously reflected in our pro-forma
      disclosures shown below as amounts were not considered
      material.

For
      the
      pro forma computations, the values of option grants were calculated on the
      dates
      of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and amortized to expense
      on a straight-line basis over the options’ vesting periods. No other discounts
      or restrictions related to vesting or the likelihood of vesting of stock options
      were applied. There were no stock option grants during the first quarter of
      2005.
    Stock-Based
      Compensation Plans.
      As
      discussed above, Stratus currently has four stock-based compensation plans
      and
      all are shareholder approved. As of March 31, 2006, only three of the plans,
      which are discussed below, have awards available for grant. Stratus’ Stock
      Option Plan, 1998 Stock Option Plan, 2002 Stock Incentive Plan and Stock Option
      Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the Plans) provide for the issuance of stock
      options, restricted stock units (see below) and stock appreciations rights
      (collectively stock-based compensation awards), adjusted for the effects of
      the
      effective reverse stock split transactions (see Note 6 of the Stratus 2005
      Form
      10-K), representing 1,330,000 shares of Stratus common stock at no less than
      market value at time of grant.
    Generally,
      stock-based compensation awards are exercisable in 25 percent annual increments
      beginning one year from the date of grant and expire 10 years after the date
      of
      grant. Awards for approximately 3,100 shares under the 1998 Stock Option Plan,
      40,000 shares under the Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors and 9,800
      shares under the 2002 Stock Option Plan were available for new grants as of
      March 31, 2006.
    Options.
      A
      summary of options outstanding as of March 31, 2006 and changes during the

The
      total
      intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31,
      2006, was $1.6 million. As of March 31, 2006, Stratus had $1.1 million of total
      unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options expected to
      be
      recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years. Cash received from
      stock
      option exercises totaled $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31,
      2006,
      and less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The actual
      tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from stock option exercises totaled
      $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, and none for the three
      months ended March 31, 2005. Upon exercise of stock options and vesting of
      restricted stock units, employees may tender Stratus shares to Stratus to pay
      the exercise price and/or the minimum required taxes. Shares tendered to Stratus
      for these purposes totaled approximately 1,500 shares for the three months
      ended
      March 31, 2006 and approximately 300 shares for the three months ended March
      31,
      2005. Stratus paid less than $0.1 million during the three months ended March
      31, 2006 and none during the three months ended March 31, 2005 for employee
      taxes.
    Restricted
      Stock Units.
      Under
      Stratus’ restricted stock program, shares of its common stock may be granted to
      certain officers of Stratus at no cost. The restricted stock units are converted
      into shares of Stratus common stock ratably on the anniversary of each award
      over the vesting period, generally four years. The awards fully vest upon
      retirement. Fair value for restricted stock unit awards is based on the average
      of the high and low Stratus common stock price on the date of
      grant.
    Stratus
      granted 49,000 restricted stock units in the three months ended March 31, 2006.
      A summary of outstanding unvested restricted stock units as of March 31, 2006,
      and activity during the three months ended March 31, 2006 is presented

The
      grant-date fair value of restricted stock units granted during the three months
      ended March 31, 2006 was $1.2 million. The total intrinsic value of restricted
      stock units vesting during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $0.1
      million. As of March 31, 2006, Stratus had $1.3 million of total unrecognized
      compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units expected to be
      recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.
    | 3. | EARNINGS
                PER SHARE | 
Stratus’
      basic net income (loss) per share of common stock was calculated by dividing
      the
      income (loss) applicable to continuing operations, income from discontinued
      operations and 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):

      period.
    | 4. | DEBT
                OUTSTANDING | 
At
      March
      31, 2006, Stratus had total debt of $47.4 million, including $2.2 million of
      current debt, compared to total debt of $50.3 million, including $0.2 million
      of
      current debt, at December 31, 2005. Stratus’ debt outstanding at March 31, 2006
      consisted of the following:
    | · | $13.7
                million of net borrowings under the $45.0 million Comerica revolving
                credit facility. The $45.0 million facility, of which $3.0 million
                is
                provided for Stratus’ Calera Court project, matures on 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
                2008. | 
| · | $6.4
                million of net borrowings under the 7500 Rialto Boulevard project
                loan,
                which matures in January 2008. | 
| · | $2.0
                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
                2007. | 
| · | $10.9
                million of net borrowings under the $18.5 million Escarpment Village
                project loan, which will mature in June
                2007. |

In
      addition, Stratus has a $22.8 million commitment from Teachers
      Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA)
      for a
      30-year mortgage available for funding the completed Escarpment Village shopping
      center project. The mortgage will be used to refinance the $18.5 million
      Escarpment Village project loan discussed above.
    Upon
      the
      closing of the 7000 West sale on March 27, 2006, CarrAmerica
      Lantana, LP (CarrAmerica) paid $10.6 million cash to Stratus and assumed the
      $11.7 million principal balance remaining under Stratus’ 7000 West project loan
      from TIAA (see Note 6). Stratus intends to use the net proceeds from the sale
      to
      reduce its other outstanding debt.

      Restricted cash totaled $0.3 million at March 31, 2006 and $0.4 million at
      December 31, 2005, primarily related to lot sales proceeds to be used for
      payment on project loans. Restricted cash also includes approximately $0.1
      million held at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 representing funds held
      for
      payment of fractional shares resulting from the May 2001 stock split (see Note
      6
      of the Stratus 2005 Form 10-K).
    Interest
      Cost.
      Interest
      expense excludes capitalized interest of $0.8 million in the first quarter

      2006 and $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2005.
    | 6. | DISCONTINUED
                OPERATIONS | 
In
      the
      fourth quarter of 2005, Stratus committed to a plan to sell its office buildings
      at 7000 West. On March 27, 2006, Stratus’ wholly owned subsidiary, Stratus 7000
      West Joint Venture (7000 West JV), sold its two
      70,000-square-foot
      office buildings at 7000 West William Cannon Drive (7000 West), known as the
      Lantana Corporate Center, to
      CarrAmerica for
      $22.3
      million, resulting in a $9.8 million ($7.8 million net of taxes or $1.08 per
      basic share and $1.02 per diluted share) gain in the first quarter of 2006.
      CarrAmerica
      paid $10.6 million cash to Stratus at closing and assumed the $11.7 million
      principal balance remaining under Stratus’ 7000 West project loan from TIAA. In
      connection with CarrAmerica’s assumption of the loan, 7000 West JV entered into
      a First Modification Agreement with CarrAmerica and TIAA under which TIAA
      released 7000 West JV’s $3.5 million letter of credit issued by Comerica Bank
      that secured certain re-tenanting obligations and released 7000 West JV from
      all
      future obligations under the loan. In addition, TIAA released Stratus from
      all
      future liabilities under its guaranty of 7000 West JV’s environmental
      representations and recourse obligations under the loan.
    Upon
      completion of the sale of 7000 West, Stratus ceased all involvement with the
      7000 West office buildings. The operations, assets and liabilities of 7000
      West
      represented a component of Stratus’ commercial leasing segment.

        | 7. | 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’ nearly 100 percent 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. In the
      fourth quarter of 2005, Stratus committed to sell the two 70,000-square-foot
      office buildings at 7000 West and sold 7000 West on March 27, 2006. The 7000
      West operating results are reported as discontinued operations for the periods
      shown in the table below.
    The
      segment data presented below were prepared on the same basis as Stratus’
consolidated financial statements.

                TAXES | 
Stratus’
      deferred tax assets at December 31, 2005 totaled $17.6 million and Stratus
      had
      provided a 100 percent valuation allowance because realization of the deferred
      tax assets was not considered likely. Realization of Stratus’ deferred tax
      assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income within the
      carryforward period available under tax law. In the first quarter of 2006,
      Stratus sold 7000 West (see Note 6) and in April 2006 Stratus completed the
      sale
      of 58 acres at its Lantana property. These transactions generated income of
      approximately $26 million and along with Stratus’ current homebuilder contract
      arrangements and projected levels of future sales provide sufficient evidence
      that Stratus now believes it is more likely than not that it will be able to
      realize all of its deferred tax assets. As a result, first-quarter 2006 net
      income from continuing operations included a $6.4 million, $0.88 per basic
      share
      and $0.83 per diluted share, tax benefit resulting from the reversal of a
      portion of Stratus’ deferred tax asset valuation allowance and the remaining
      balance of its valuation allowance is being realized in Stratus’ 2006 effective
      tax rate.

    To
      the
      Board of Directors and Stockholders
    of
      Stratus Properties Inc.:
    We
      have
      reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Stratus
      Properties Inc. and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2006, and the related
      consolidated statements of operations for each of the three-month periods ended
      March 31, 2006 and 2005 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the
      three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. 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, 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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements for
      them to
      be in
      conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
      of
      America.
    We
      have
      previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
      Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet
      as of
      December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, of changes
      in stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for the year then ended, management’s
      assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
      reporting as of December 31, 2005 and the effectiveness of the Company’s
      internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005; and in our
      report dated March 16, 2006, we expressed unqualified opinions thereon. The
      consolidated financial statements and management’s assessment of the
      effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting referred to above
      are
      not presented herein. In our opinion, the information set forth in the
      accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005,
      is
      fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance
      sheet from which it has been derived.
    As
      discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements,
      effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting

        OVERVIEW
    Management’s
      discussion and analysis presented below should be read in conjunction with
      our
      discussion and analysis of financial results contained in our 2005 Annual Report
      on Form 10-K (2005 Form 10-K). The operating results summarized in this report
      are not necessarily indicative of our future operating results. All subsequent
      references to Notes refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, unless
      otherwise stated.
    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 currently in southwest Austin, Texas. As
      of
      March 31, 2006, our most significant holding is the 1,728 acres of residential,
      multi-family and commercial property and 72 developed residential estate lots
      located within the Barton Creek community. We also own approximately 384 acres
      of undeveloped residential, commercial and multi-family property and 36 acres
      of
      commercial property under development 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,
      and
      Escarpment Village, which is a 168,000-square-foot retail center anchored by
      a
      grocery store. At March 31, 2006, Meridian consisted of approximately 282 acres
      and 215 developed residential lots. Our remaining Austin holdings at March
      31,
      2006, consisted of 282 acres of commercial property and a 75,000-square-foot
      office building at 7500 Rialto Boulevard, which is nearly 100 percent leased,
      located within Lantana. In the fourth quarter of 2005, we decided to sell our
      two 70,000-square-foot office buildings at 7000 West William Cannon Drive (7000
      West), known as the Lantana Corporate Center. On March 27, 2006, we sold 7000
      West for $22.3 million (see Note 6 and “Discontinued Operations - 7000
      West”).
    In
      January 2004, we acquired approximately 68 acres of land in Plano, Texas, which
      we refer to as Deerfield. At March 31, 2006, our Deerfield property consists
      of
      approximately 26 acres of residential land, which is being developed, and 49
      developed residential lots. We also own two acres of undeveloped commercial
      property in San Antonio, Texas.
    In
      November 2005, we formed a joint venture partnership with Trammell Crow Central
      Texas Development, Inc. (Trammell Crow) to acquire an approximate 74-acre tract
      at the intersection of Airport Boulevard and Lamar Boulevard in Austin, Texas
      for $7.7 million. We refer to the property as the Crestview Station project,
      a
      single-family, multi-family, retail and office development. With our joint
      venture partner, we have commenced brown field remediation and permitting of
      the
      property.
    DEVELOPMENT
      AND OTHER ACTIVITIES
    Lantana.
      In
      November 2005, we entered into an Agreement of Sale and Purchase with Advanced
      Micro Devices, Inc. (NYSE: AMD) under which we agreed to sell them approximately
      58 acres at our Lantana community for $21.2 million. The proposed AMD project
      consists of approximately 825,000 square feet of office and related uses on
      a
      58-acre site at the southeast corner of West William Cannon Drive and Southwest
      Parkway. The sale was subject to certain conditions, including obtaining certain
      permits and approvals from the City of Austin (the City). In February 2006,
      the
      Save Our Springs Alliance, Inc. (the SOS Alliance) filed a lawsuit against
      the
      City seeking, among other matters, to prevent the issuance of permits needed
      to
      develop the AMD project. We intervened in the litigation and vigorously defended
      our Lantana entitlements. On April 11, 2006, a state district judge refused
      to
      stop the approval process for the proposed AMD project and the SOS Alliance
      dropped its lawsuit. On April 20, 2006, the City approved the AMD site
      development permit, and on April 26, 2006, we closed the sale of our 58-acre
      tract at Lantana with AMD for $21.2 million. During the second quarter of 2006,
      we expect to recognize a net pre-tax gain of approximately $16 million on the
      AMD sale. Lantana is a partially developed, mixed-use project with remaining
      Stratus entitlements for approximately 1.9 million square feet of office and
      retail use on 224 acres. Regional utility and road infrastructure is in place
      with capacity to serve Lantana at full build-out permitted under existing
      entitlements.
    In
      2001,
      we reached agreement with the City concerning development of a 417-acre portion
      of the Lantana community. The agreement reflected a cooperative effort between
      the City and us to allow development based on grandfathered entitlements, while
      adhering to stringent water quality standards and other enhancements to protect
      the environment. With this agreement, we completed the core entitlement process
      for the entire Lantana project allowing for approximately 2.9 million square
      feet of office and retail 
    13
        development,
      approximately 400 multi-family units (previously sold to an unrelated third
      party), and a tract for approximately 330 residential lots which we sold in
      2003.
    At
      March
      31, 2006, our 75,000-square-foot office building at 7500 Rialto Boulevard was
      approximately 96 percent leased. As a result of increased demand for office
      space within Lantana, we commenced construction in January 2006 of a second
      75,000-square-foot office building at 7500 Rialto Boulevard. 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
      higher costs during the initial transition, this change in management
      responsibility provides future cost savings for our commercial leasing
      operations and better control of building operations. In the fourth quarter
      of
      2005, we committed to a plan to sell our two office buildings at 7000 West.
      On
      March 27, 2006, we sold 7000 West for $22.3 million (see Note 6 and
“Discontinued Operations - 7000 West”).
    Barton
      Creek Community.
      We
      commenced construction of a new subdivision within the Barton Creek community
      during the fourth quarter of 2000. This subdivision, Mirador, was completed
      in
      late-2001. Mirador adjoins the Escala Drive subdivision. We developed 34 estate
      lots in the Mirador subdivision, with each lot averaging approximately 3.5
      acres
      in size.
    Since
      January 2002, we have secured subdivision plat approval for three new
      residential subdivisions within the Barton Creek Community, including: Versant
      Place - 54 lots, Wimberly Lane Phase II - 47 lots and Calera - 155 lots. At
      March 31, 2006, our remaining unsold developed lots within the Barton Creek
      Community included: Calera Drive - 28 lots, Wimberly Lane Phase II - 23 lots,
      Calera Court - 10 lots, Mirador - 10 lots and Escala - 1 lot. Development of
      the
      remaining Barton Creek property is expected to occur over several
      years.
    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. The deposit was used to pay ongoing development
      costs of the lots. The deposit will be applied against subsequent purchases
      of
      lots by the homebuilder after certain thresholds are achieved and will be
      recognized as income as lots are sold. The lots are being sold on a scheduled
      takedown basis, with the initial six lots sold in December 2004 following
      completion of subdivision utilities, and then an average of 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 Wimberly Lane Phase II subdivision also included six estate
      lots, each averaging approximately five acres, which we retained, marketed
      and
      sold in 2005 for a total of $1.8 million.
    During
      2004, we completed construction of four courtyard homes at Calera Court within
      the Barton Creek community. Calera Court, the initial phase of the “Calera”
subdivision, will include 17 courtyard homes on 16 acres. The second phase
      of
      Calera, Calera Drive, consisting of 53 single-family lots, many of which adjoin
      the Fazio Canyons Golf Course, received final plat and construction permit
      approval in 2005. In the third quarter of 2005, development of these lots was
      completed and the initial five lots were sold for $2.1 million. Development
      of
      the third and last phase of Calera, which will include approximately 70
      single-family lots, will commence in mid-2006.
    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. Our Circle C
      settlement permits development of 1.0 million square feet of commercial space,
      900 multi-family units and 830 single-family residential lots. In 2004, we
      amended our Circle C settlement with the City to increase the amount of
      permitted commercial space from 1.0 million square feet to 1.16 million square
      feet in exchange for a decrease in allowable multi-family units from 900 units
      to 504 units. 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 2005. 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
      includes 134 lots, was substantially completed at the end of 2005. Development
      of the second phase of 134 lots commenced in the third quarter of 2005 and
      was
      substantially completed in March 2006. We estimate our sales from the first
      two
      phases of Meridian will total at least 38 lots for $2.3 million during the
      second quarter of 2006.
    In
      addition, several retail sites at the Circle C community have received final
      City approvals and are being developed. Zoning for Escarpment Village, a
      168,000-square-foot retail project anchored by a grocery 
    14
        store,
      was approved during the second quarter of 2004, and construction is progressing
      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. The grand opening of the shopping center is set for May 12, 2006,
      and
      we expect to close the long-term mortgage in June 2006.
    Deerfield.
      In
      January 2004, we acquired the Deerfield property in Plano, Texas, for $7.0
      million. The property was 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 was $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 $7.8 million in
      remaining availability under the loan at March 31, 2006. The initial lot sale
      occurred in November 2004 and subsequent lot sales are on schedule. In October
      2005, we executed a revised agreement with the homebuilder, increasing the
      lot
      sizes and average purchase price to $67,150 based on a new total of 224 lots.
      We
      expect to complete 20 lot sales for $1.3 million during the second quarter
      of
      2006.
    Crestview
      Station.
      In
      November 2005, we formed a joint venture partnership with Trammell Crow to
      acquire an approximate 74-acre tract at the intersection of Airport Boulevard
      and Lamar Boulevard in Austin, Texas, for $7.7 million. With our joint venture
      partner, we have commenced brown field remediation and permitting of the
      property, known as the Crestview Station project, for single-family,
      multi-family, retail and office development, with closings on the single-family
      and multi-family components expected to occur in 2007 upon completion of the
      remediation. At March 31, 2006, our investment in the Crestview Station project
      totaled $3.8 million and the joint venture partnership had $6.6 million of
      outstanding debt, of which each joint venture partner guarantees $1.9
      million.
    The
      Crestview Station property is divided into three distinct parcels - one
      containing approximately 46 acres, a second consisting of approximately 27
      acres, and a third 0.5-acre tract. Our joint venture partnership has contracted
      with a nationally recognized remediation firm to demolish the existing buildings
      and remediate the 27-acre and 0.5-acre tracts as part of preparing them for
      residential permitting. Under the terms of the remediation contract, the joint
      venture partnership will pay the contractor approximately $4.9 million upon
      completion of performance benchmarks and certification by the State of Texas
      that the remediation is complete. The contractor is required to pay all costs
      associated with the remediation and to secure an environmental liability policy
      with $10.0 million of coverage remaining in place for a 10-year term. Pursuant
      to the agreement with the contractor, all environmental and legal liability
      was
      assigned to and assumed by the contractor effective November 30,
      2005.
    Downtown
      Austin Project.
      In April
      2005, the City selected our proposal to develop a mixed-use project in downtown
      Austin immediately north of the new City Hall complex. The project includes
      an
      entire city block and is suitable for a mixture of retail, office, hotel,
      residential and civic uses. We have entered into a negotiation period with
      the
      City to reach agreement on the project’s design and transaction terms and
      structure.
    RESULTS
      OF OPERATIONS
    We
      are
      continually evaluating the development potential of our properties and will
      continue to consider opportunities to enter into significant 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.

Our
      deferred tax assets at December 31, 2005 totaled $17.6 million and we had
      provided a 100 percent valuation allowance because realization of the deferred
      tax assets was not considered likely. Realization of our deferred tax assets
      is
      dependent on generating sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period
      available under tax law. In the first quarter of 2006, we sold 7000 West (see
      Note 6) and in April 2006 we completed the sale of 58 acres at our Lantana
      property. These transactions generated income of approximately $26 million
      and
      along with our current homebuilder contract arrangements and projected levels
      of
      future sales provide sufficient evidence that we now believe it is more likely
      than not that we will be able to realize all of our deferred tax assets. As
      a
      result, first-quarter 2006 net income from continuing operations included a
      $6.4
      million, $0.88 per basic share and $0.83 per diluted share, tax benefit
      resulting from the reversal of a portion of our deferred tax asset valuation
      allowance and the remaining balance of our valuation allowance is being
      realized in our 2006 effective tax rate.
    We
      have
      two operating segments, “Real Estate Operations” and “Commercial Leasing” (see
      Note 7). The following is a discussion of our operating results by
      segment.

Developed
      Property Sales. Improving
      market conditions in the Austin area have resulted in increased lot sales in
      the
      first quarter of 2006. Property sales for the first quarters of 2006 and 2005
      included the following (revenues in thousands):

Undeveloped
      Property Sales.
      During
      the first quarter of 2006, we sold a 7.5-acre tract in the Barton Creek
      community for $1.5 million.
    Commissions,
      Management Fees and Other.
      Commissions, management fees and other revenues totaled $0.3 million in the
      first quarter of 2006, compared to $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2005,
      and included sales of our development fee credits to third parties totaling
      $0.2
      million in the 2006 quarter and $0.1 million in the 2005 quarter. We received
      these development fee credits as part of the Circle C settlement (see Note
      8 of
      our 2005 Form 10-K).
    Cost
      of Sales and General and Administrative Expenses.
      Cost of
      sales totaled $7.6 million in the first quarter of 2006 and $1.9 million in
      the
      2005 quarter. The increase in cost of sales for the 2006 quarter compared to
      the
      2005 quarter primarily relates to the increase in developed property sales
      in
      the 2006 quarter.  General and administrative expenses increased to $1.6
      million in the first quarter of 2006 compared to $1.1 million for the first
      quarter of 2005 primarily because of stock-based compensation costs associated
      with adoption of new accounting rules (see "New Accounting
      Standard").
    Commercial
      Leasing
    Our
      commercial leasing operating results primarily reflect the activities at our
      7500 Rialto Boulevard office building and Southwest Property Services L.L.C.
      after removing the results for 7000 West which are now classified as
      discontinued operations (see below). Summary commercial leasing operating
      results follow (in thousands):

In
      January 2006, we began earning rental income (less than $0.1 million for the
      first quarter) from Escarpment Village. We expect our rental income and related
      costs from Escarpment Village to increase throughout the remainder of 2006
      following the grand opening of the shopping center on May 12, 2006.
    Other
      Financial Results
    General
      and administrative expenses increased to $1.7 million in the first quarter
      of
      2006 from $1.3 million in the 2005 quarter, primarily because of stock-based
      compensation costs. On January 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial
      Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment.” Stock-based
      compensation costs totaled $0.6 million in the 2006 quarter, including a net
      $0.3 million charged to general and administrative expenses, and $0.1 million
      in
      the 2005 quarter, which was charged to general and administrative
      expenses.
17
        DISCONTINUED
      OPERATIONS - 7000 WEST
    In
      the
      fourth quarter of 2005, we committed to a plan to sell our office buildings
      at
      7000 West. On March 27, 2006, our wholly owned subsidiary, Stratus 7000 West
      Joint Venture (7000 West JV), sold its two
      70,000-square-foot
      office buildings at 7000 West William Cannon Drive (7000 West), known as the
      Lantana Corporate Center, to
      CarrAmerica Lantana, LP (CarrAmerica) for
      $22.3
      million, resulting in a $9.8 million ($7.8 million net of taxes or $1.08 per
      basic share and $1.02 per diluted share) gain in the first quarter of 2006.
      CarrAmerica
      paid us $10.6 million cash at closing and assumed the $11.7 million principal
      balance remaining under our 7000 West project loan from TIAA. In connection
      with
      CarrAmerica’s assumption of the loan, 7000 West JV entered into a First
      Modification Agreement with CarrAmerica and TIAA under which TIAA released
      7000
      West JV’s $3.5 million letter of credit issued by Comerica Bank that secured
      certain re-tenanting obligations and released 7000 West JV from all future
      obligations under the loan. In addition, TIAA released us from all future
      liabilities under its guaranty of 7000 West JV’s environmental representations
      and recourse obligations under the loan.
    Upon
      completion of the sale of 7000 West, Stratus ceased all involvement with the
      7000 West office buildings. The operations, assets and liabilities of 7000
      West
      represented a component of our commercial leasing segment.
    Our
      discontinued operations generated net income of $8.2 million, including a $7.8
      million gain net of taxes on the sale, in the first quarter of 2006 and $0.1
      million in the first quarter of 2005. We earned rental income of $1.1 million
      in
      the first quarter of 2006 and $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2005 from
      our
      two fully leased office buildings at 7000 West.
    CAPITAL
      RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
    Comparison
      of First-Quarter 2006 and 2005 Cash Flows
    Operating
      activities provided cash of $5.3 million during the first quarter of 2006 and
      $4.1 million during the first quarter of 2005, including cash provided by
      discontinued operations totaling $0.4 million during the first quarter of 2006
      and the first quarter of 2005. Compared to the 2005 quarter, operating cash
      flows in the first quarter of 2006 improved primarily because of the increase
      in
      sales activities, partly offset by working capital changes.
    Cash
      provided by investing activities totaled $4.2 million during the first quarter
      of 2006 and cash used in investing activities totaled $6.6 million during the
      first quarter of 2005. First-quarter 2006 included $10.0 million received from
      the sale of 7000 West (see “Discontinued Operations - 7000 West”). Other real
      estate expenditures for the first quarters of 2006 and 2005 included
      improvements to certain properties in the Barton Creek, Lantana and Circle
      C
      communities.
    Financing
      activities used cash of $2.4 million during the first quarter of 2006, compared
      to $3.1 million provided by financing activities during the first quarter of
      2005. During the first quarter of 2006, our financing activities included $2.0
      million of net repayments on our revolving line of credit and $0.9 million
      of
      net repayments on our project construction loans, including net repayments
      of
      $0.9 million from the Deerfield loan and $0.9 million from the Meridian project
      loan, partly offset by $1.0 million of borrowings on the Escarpment Village
      loan. During the first quarter of 2005, our financing activities reflected
      $4.1
      million of net borrowings under our revolving line of credit partially offset
      by
      net repayments on our project construction loans totaling $0.6 million,
      including $0.5 million related to the Deerfield loan. See “Credit Facility and
      Other Financing Arrangements” below for a discussion of our outstanding debt at
      March 31, 2006.
    In
      2001,
      our Board of Directors approved an open market share purchase program for up
      to
      0.7 million shares of our common stock. During the first quarter of 2006, we
      purchased 10,668 shares for $0.3 million, a $23.78 per share average. During
      the
      second quarter of 2006 through May 5, 2006, we purchased 10,000 shares for
      $0.3
      million, a $25.12 per share average. A total of 471,948 shares remain available
      under this program. During the first quarter of 2005, we purchased 20,305 shares
      for $0.3 million, a $16.48 per share average. Our loan agreement with Comerica
      provides a limit of $6.5 million for common stock purchases after September
      30,
      2005. 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.
18
        Credit
      Facility and Other Financing Arrangements
    At
      March
      31, 2006, we had total debt of $47.4 million, including $2.2 million of current
      debt, compared to total debt of $50.3 million, including $0.2 million of current
      debt, at December 31, 2005. We expect to use the proceeds from the 7000 West
      and
      AMD sales to reduce debt in the second quarter of 2006. Our debt outstanding
      at
      March 31, 2006 consisted of the following:
    | · | $13.7
                million of net borrowings under the $45.0 million Comerica revolving
                credit facility. The $45.0 million facility, of which $3.0 million
                is
                provided for our Calera Court project, matures on 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
                2008. | 
| · | $6.4
                million of net borrowings under the 7500 Rialto Boulevard project
                loan,
                which matures in January 2008. | 
| · | $2.0
                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
                2007. | 
| · | $10.9
                million of net borrowings under the $18.5 million Escarpment Village
                project loan, which will mature in June
                2007. | 
| · | $4.4
                million of net borrowings under the $10.0 million Meridian project
                loan,
                which will mature in November 2007. | 
In
      addition, we had a $22.8 million commitment from TIAA
      for a
      30-year mortgage available for funding the completed Escarpment Village shopping
      center project. The mortgage will be used to refinance the $18.5 million
      Escarpment Village project loan discussed above.
    Upon
      the
      closing of the 7000 West sale on March 27, 2006, Carr
      America paid us $10.6 million cash and assumed the $11.7 million principal
      balance remaining under our 7000 West project loan from TIAA (see Note 6 and
      “Discontinued
      Operations - 7000 West”).
      We
      intend to use the net proceeds from the sale to reduce our other outstanding
      debt.
    For
      a
      further discussion of our debt see Note 4 of our 2005 Form 10-K.
    Outlook
    As
      discussed in “Risk Factors” located in our 2005 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. From 2001 through 2004, a downturn in the technology
      sector negatively affected the Austin real estate market, especially the
      high-end residential and commercial leasing markets; however, beginning in
      2005,
      market conditions have improved.
    Over
      the
      past several years, we have successfully worked cooperatively with the City
      to
      obtain approvals that allow the development of our properties to proceed in
      a
      timely manner while protecting the environment. We believe the desirable
      location and overall quality of our properties, in combination with the land
      use
      and development entitlements we have obtained, will command a premium over
      the
      value of other Austin-area properties.
    Our
      long-term success will depend on our ability to maximize the value of our real
      estate through obtaining required approvals that permit us to develop and sell
      our properties in a timely manner at a reasonable cost. We must incur
      significant development expenditures and secure additional permits prior to
      the
      development and sale of certain properties. In addition, we continue to pursue
      additional development opportunities, and believe we can obtain bank financing
      for developing our properties at a reasonable cost.
    
    NEW
      ACCOUNTING STANDARD
    Accounting
      for Stock-Based Compensation.
      As of
      March 31, 2006, we had three stock-based employee compensation plans and one
      stock-based director compensation plan. Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted
      for options granted under all of our plans under the recognition and measurement
      principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for
      Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, as permitted by
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for
      Stock-Based Compensation.” APB Opinion No. 25 required compensation cost for
      stock options 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 (i.e., the intrinsic value). Because all the
      plans
      require that the option exercise price be at least the market price on the
      date
      of grant, we recognized no compensation cost on the grant or exercise of our
      employees’ options through December 31, 2005. Other awards of restricted stock
      units under the plans did result in compensation costs being recognized in
      earnings based on the intrinsic value on the date of grant.
    Effective
      January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No.
      123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” or “SFAS No. 123R,” using the modified
      prospective transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost
      recognized in 2006 includes: (a) compensation costs for all stock option awards
      granted to employees prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based
      on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original
      provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all stock option
      awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair
      value
      estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. We granted no
      stock option awards in the first quarter of 2006. Other stock-based awards
      charged to expense under SFAS No. 123 (i.e., restricted stock units) continue
      to
      be charged to expense under SFAS No. 123R (see Note 2). Results for prior
      periods have not been restated.
    As
      a
      result of adopting SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, our net income for the
      three months ended March 31, 2006, was $0.4 million ($0.05 per basic and diluted
      share) lower than if we had continued to account for share-based
      compensation under APB Opinion No. 25. Basic earnings per share would have
      been
      $2.30 per share and diluted earnings per share would have been $2.17 per share
      for the three months ended March 31, 2006, if we had not adopted SFAS No. 123R,
      compared to reported earnings of $2.25 per basic share and $2.12 per diluted
      share.
    Compensation
      cost charged against earnings for stock-based awards is shown below (in
      thousands). We capitalized $0.1 million of stock-based compensation costs to
      fixed assets in the first quarter of 2006 and none in the 2005
      quarter.

CAUTIONARY
      STATEMENT
    Management’s
      Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
      contains forward-looking statements regarding proposed real estate sales and
      development activities at the Deerfield project, the Barton Creek community,
      the
      Circle C community and at Lantana; the proposed development of a mixed-use
      project in downtown Austin; future events related to financing and regulatory
      matters; the expected results of our business strategy; and other plans and
      objectives of management for future operations and activities. Important factors
      that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations
      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
      described in more detail under “Risk Factors” located in our 2005 Form
      10-K.
    There
      have been no significant changes in our market risks since the year ended
      December 31, 2005. For more information, please read the consolidated financial
      statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
      the
      year ended December 31, 2005.

        (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 first quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably
      likely to materially affect our internal control over financial
      reporting.
    On
      February 21, 2006, the Save Our Springs Alliance, Inc. (“SOS Alliance”) filed
      suit against the City of Austin (the City) in the 200th
      Judicial
      District Court of Travis County, Texas under Cause No. GN-06-000627. SOS
      Alliance, among other claims, asserts that (i) the AMD project is not exempt
      under Chapter 245 of the Texas Local Government Code (the grandfathering
      statute) from current code compliance; and (ii) our Lantana settlement
      agreements with the City are invalid. The SOS Alliance requests that the court
      enjoin the City from issuing permits for development of the AMD project. On
      February 24, 2006, we intervened in the litigation to vigorously defend our
      Lantana entitlements. On March 22, 2006, the SOS Alliance’s request for
      injunction against the City was heard in the Travis County District Court.

      the hearing, the judge requested that the SOS Alliance, the City, AMD and
      Stratus attempt to resolve their dispute. From March 23 through April 10,
      Stratus, AMD, the City and the SOS Alliance attempted to reach agreement
      concerning development of the AMD core tract and the surrounding option parcels.
      The parties reached an impasse. On April 11, 2006, the judge issued an order
      denying the SOS Alliance’s request for an injunction against the issuance of
      permits for AMD’s campus. The SOS Alliance subsequently dismissed its lawsuit.
    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.
    There
      have been no material changes to our risk factors since the year ended December
      31, 2005. For more information, please read Item 1A included in our Form 10-K
      for the year ended December 31, 2005.
