PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
The Company
Liberty Property Trust (the “Trust”) is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (a “REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust’s assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by its subsidiary, Liberty Property Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, together with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”).
The Company completed its initial public offering in 1994 to continue and expand the commercial real estate business of Rouse & Associates, a Pennsylvania general partnership, and certain affiliated entities (collectively, the “Predecessor”), which was founded in 1972. As of December 31, 2008, the Company owned and operated 357 industrial and 297 office properties (the “Wholly Owned Properties in Operation”) totaling 63.8 million square feet. In addition, as of December 31, 2008, the Company owned 17 properties under development, which when completed are expected to comprise 3.2 million square feet (the “Wholly Owned Properties under Development”) and 1,336 acres of developable land, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use. Additionally, as of December 31, 2008 the Company had an ownership interest, through unconsolidated joint ventures, in 46 industrial and 49 office properties totaling 13.1 million square feet (the “JV Properties in Operation” and, together with the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation, the “Properties in Operation”), four properties under development, which when completed are expected to comprise 1.4 million square feet (the “JV Properties under Development” and, together with the Wholly Owned Properties under Development, the “Properties under Development” and, together with the Properties in Operation, the “Properties”) and 648 acres of developable land, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use.
The Company provides leasing, property management, development and other tenant-related services for the Properties. The Company’s industrial Properties consist of a variety of warehouse, distribution, service, assembly, light manufacturing and research and development facilities. They include both single-tenant and multi-tenant facilities, with most designed flexibly to accommodate various types of tenants, space requirements and industrial uses. The Company’s office Properties are multi-story and single-story office buildings located principally in suburban mixed-use developments or office parks. Substantially all of the Company’s Properties are located in prime business locations within established business communities. In addition, the Company, individually or through joint ventures, owns urban office properties in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Going forward the Company’s product and market selection will favor metro-office, multi-tenant industrial and flex properties and markets with strong demographic and economic fundamentals.
The Trust is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owning 96.0% of the common equity of the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2008. The common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (the “Common Units”), other than those owned by the Trust, are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis (subject to anti-dilution protections) for the Trust’s Common Shares of Beneficial Interest, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Shares”). As of December 31, 2008, the Common Units held by the limited partners were exchangeable for 4.1 million Common Shares. The Company has issued several series of Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership (the “Preferred Units”). The outstanding Preferred Units of each series are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis after stated dates into a corresponding series Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of the Trust. Collectively, the ownership of the holders of Common and Preferred Units is reflected on the Trust’s financial statements as minority interest.
In addition to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company files with or furnishes to the SEC periodic and current reports, proxy statements and other information. The Company makes these documents available on its website, www.libertyproperty.com, free of charge, as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.

Business Objective and Strategies for Growth
The Company’s business objective is to maximize long-term profitability for its shareholders by being a recognized leader in commercial real estate through the ownership, management, development and acquisition of superior office and industrial properties. The Company intends to achieve this objective through offering office and industrial properties in multiple markets and operating as a leading landlord in the industry. The Company believes that this objective will provide the benefits of enhanced investment opportunities, economies of scale, risk diversification both in terms of geographic market and real estate product type, access to capital and the ability to attract and retain personnel. The Company also strives to be a leading provider of customer service, providing an exceptional and positive customer experience. The Company seeks to be an industry leader in sustainable development and to operate an energy-efficient portfolio. In pursuing its business objective, the Company seeks to achieve a combination of internal and external growth, maintain a conservative balance sheet and pursue a strategy of financial flexibility.
Products
The Company strives to be a recognized quality provider of five products (industrial properties, including big box warehouse, multi-tenant industrial, and flex/R&D; and office properties, including single-story office and multi-story office). Going forward the Company’s product selection will favor metro-office, multi-tenant industrial and flex properties. Going forward the Company’s market selection will favor markets with strong demographic and economic fundamentals. Consistent with the Company’s strategy and market opportunities, the Company may pursue office and industrial products other than those noted above.
Markets
The Company operates primarily in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern United States. Additionally, the Company owns certain assets in the United Kingdom. The Company’s goal is to operate in each of its markets with an appropriate product mix of office and industrial properties. In some markets it may offer only one of its product types. Generally, the Company seeks to have a presence in each market sufficient for the Company to be viewed as a significant participant in each market. The Company’s efforts emphasize business park development and asset aggregation. The Company gathers information from internal sources and independent third parties and analyzes this information to support its evaluation of markets and market conditions.
Organizational Plan
The Company seeks to maintain a management organization that facilitates efficient execution of the Company’s strategy. As part of this effort, the Company pursues a human resources plan designed to create and maintain a highly regarded real estate company through recruiting, training and retaining capable people. The structure is designed to support a local office entrepreneurial platform operating within a value-added corporate structure. The Company upgrades its information technology periodically to keep pace with advances in available technology.

Internal Growth Strategies
The Company seeks to maximize the profitability of its Properties by endeavoring to maintain high occupancy levels while obtaining competitive rental rates, controlling costs and focusing on customer service efforts.
Maintain High Occupancies
The Company believes that the quality and diversity of its tenant base and its strategy of operating in multiple markets is integral to achieving its goal of attaining high occupancy levels for its portfolio. The Company targets financially stable tenants in an effort to minimize uncertainty relating to the ability of the tenants to meet their lease obligations.
Cost Controls
The Company seeks to identify best practices to apply throughout the Company in order to enhance cost savings and other efficiencies. The Company also employs an annual capital improvement and preventative maintenance program designed to reduce the operating costs of the Properties in Operation and maintain the long-term value of the Properties in Operation.
Customer Service
The Company seeks to achieve high tenant retention through a comprehensive customer service program, which is designed to provide an exceptional and positive customer experience. The customer service program establishes best practices and provides an appropriate customer feedback process. The Company believes that the program has been helpful in increasing customer satisfaction.
Energy Efficiency Initiatives
The Company is committed to improving the energy efficiency of the existing buildings in its portfolio and has made a substantial effort to design environmentally friendly features in the buildings it develops.
The Company has been an active participant in the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (“LEED”) program. The LEED program, which was created to recognize environmental leadership in the building industry, establishes a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. The Company currently has over seven million square feet of LEED projects completed or under construction, including the 1.25 million square foot Comcast Center.
The Company believes that building in accordance with LEED standards is environmentally responsible and can lead to significant operating efficiencies. The Company believes that green building techniques such as construction waste management (recycling waste onsite); energy conservation (occupancy sensors associated with lighting and high performance HVAC systems); and improvement of environmental quality (maximization of daylight and use of low-emitting materials) can result in positive environmental results and significant economic returns to tenants in terms of savings in operating costs and improved employee performance.
The Company has also taken significant steps to measure the energy efficiency of the existing buildings in the portfolio and to move forward with efforts to improve the energy efficiency of the buildings in the portfolio. These efforts have included, in various cases: (1) conducting energy audits; (2) performing lighting retrofits and installing lighting controls; (3) installing building automation systems; (4) installing improvements designed to increase energy efficiency; and (5) establishing and implementing a green property management guide and green training program.
The Company’s efforts in this area are ongoing. The Company intends to continue to explore methods of enhancing the performance of the buildings in its existing portfolio.
External Growth Strategies
The Company seeks to enhance its long-term profitability through the development, acquisition and disposition of properties either directly or through joint ventures. The Company also considers acquisitions of real estate operating companies.
However, current market conditions are not favorable for the development, acquisition and disposition of properties and consequently the Company expects growth in profitability from these sources to be limited at least in the near term.

Wholly Owned Properties
Development
The Company pursues attractive development opportunities, focusing primarily on high-quality suburban industrial and office properties within its existing markets. When the Company’s marketing efforts identify opportunities, the Company will consider pursuing opportunities outside of the Company’s established markets. The Company and its Predecessor have developed over 59 million square feet of commercial real estate during the past 36 years. The Company’s development activities generally fall into two categories: build-to-suit projects and projects built for inventory (projects that are less than 75% leased prior to commencement of construction). The Company develops build-to-suit projects for existing and new tenants. The Company also builds properties for inventory where the Company has identified sufficient demand at market rental rates to justify such construction.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company completed three build-to-suit projects and 14 inventory projects totaling 3.2 million square feet and representing an aggregate Total Investment, as defined below, of $217.0 million. As of December 31, 2008, these completed development properties were 61.2% leased. The “Total Investment” for a Property is defined as the Property’s purchase price plus closing costs and management’s estimate, as determined at the time of acquisition, of the cost of necessary building improvements in the case of acquisitions, or land costs and land and building improvement costs in the case of development projects, and, where appropriate, other development costs and carrying costs.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had 17 Wholly Owned Properties under Development, which are expected to comprise, upon completion, 3.2 million square feet and are expected to represent a Total Investment of $373.6 million. These Wholly Owned Properties under Development were 63.0% pre-leased as of December 31, 2008. The scheduled deliveries of the 3.2 million square feet of Wholly Owned Properties under Development are as follows (in thousands, except percentages):
                                                 
    Square Feet     Percent Leased     Total

The Company believes that, because it is a fully integrated real estate firm, its base of commercially zoned land in existing industrial and office business parks provides a competitive advantage for future development activities. As of December 31, 2008, the Company owned 1,336 acres of land held for development, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use. Substantially all of the land is located adjacent to or within existing industrial or business parks with site improvements, such as public sewers, water and utilities, available for service. The Company anticipates that its land holdings would support, as and when developed, 13.6 million square feet of property. The Company’s investment in land held for development as of December 31, 2008 was $209.6 million.
Through a development agreement with Kent County Council, the Company develops commercial buildings at Kings Hill, a 650-acre mixed use development site in the County of Kent, England.  The Company also is the project manager for the installation of infrastructure on the site and receives a portion of the proceeds from the sale of land parcels to home builders.  The site has planning consent for 2.0 million square feet of commercial space and 2,750 homes, of which approximately 800,000 square feet of commercial space and 2,100 homes have now been completed.
Acquisitions/Dispositions
The Company seeks to acquire properties consistent with its business objectives and strategies. The Company executes its acquisition strategy by purchasing properties that management believes will create shareholder value over the long-term.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company acquired one property comprising 107,000 square feet for a Total Investment of $17.0 million.
The Company disposes of properties and land held for development that no longer fit within the Company’s strategic plan, or with respect to which the Company believes it can optimize cash proceeds. During the year ended December

Table of Contents

31, 2008, the Company sold 13 operating properties, which contained 665,000 square feet, and 24 acres of land, for aggregate proceeds of $83.0 million.
Joint Venture Properties
The Company, from time to time, considers joint venture opportunities with institutional investors or other real estate companies. Joint venture partnerships provide the Company with additional sources of capital to share investment risk and fund capital requirements. In some instances, joint venture partnerships provide the Company with additional local market or product type expertise.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures totaling $266.6 million (see Note 4 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements).
Development
During the year ended December 31, 2008, unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company held an interest completed three inventory projects totaling 351,000 square feet and representing a Total Investment of $42.5 million. As of December 31, 2008, these completed development properties were 65.9% leased. Additionally, the final 306,000 square feet of Comcast Center (owned by a joint venture in which the Company has a 20% interest), representing a Total Investment of $124.1 million, were brought into service.
As of December 31, 2008, unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company held an interest had four JV Properties under Development which are expected to comprise, upon completion, 1.4 million leaseable square feet and are expected to represent a Total Investment of $186.4 million. These JV Properties under Development were 38.1% pre-leased as of December 31, 2008.
As of December 31, 2008, unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company held an interest owned 648 acres of land held for development, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use. Substantially all of the land is located adjacent to or within existing industrial or business parks with site improvements, such as public sewers, water and utilities, available for service. The Company anticipates that its joint venture land holdings would support, as and when developed, 6.5 million square feet of property.
Acquisitions/Dispositions
During the year ended December 31, 2008, none of the unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company held an interest acquired any properties.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, a joint venture in which the Company held a 50% interest realized proceeds of $1.4 million from the sale of one acre of land.

(The Company refers to itself as “we”, “us” or “our” in the following risk factors.) This section contains some forward looking statements. You should refer to the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on forward-looking statements on page 28.
Risks Related to Our Business
Recent turmoil in the global credit markets and current economic downturn could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
The Company’s business is subject to the risks in this section. Current economic conditions have increased the probability the Company will experience these risks. Recent turmoil in the global credit markets and declines and continuing weakness in the general economy have negatively impacted the Company’s normal business practices, particularly its financing activities.
We have historically relied on access to the credit markets in the conduct of our business. In particular, we currently utilize a $600 million credit facility, and additionally, we have, as of December 31, 2008, $2.1 billion of senior unsecured debt and $198.6 million of secured debt. Our credit facility expires in January 2010, subject to a right to extend for a one-year period. Although we are not aware of any instances in which banks participating in the credit facility have been unable or unwilling to participate in draws under the facility, it is possible that the financial issues confronting the banking industry could lead to such an occurrence. If such a circumstance occurred it is possible that

the Company could not access the full amount which is supposed to be available under the credit facility. Additionally, if the financial issues confronting the banking industry persist it is possible that the amount and terms available for a renewal of the credit facility could be adversely impacted. Our secured and unsecured debt matures at various times between 2009 and 2019. Only a small portion of the principal of our debt is repaid prior to maturity. Therefore, we generally need to refinance our outstanding debt as it matures. In 2009, we have $270 million of senior unsecured debt and $41.8 million of secured debt maturing.
The circumstances noted above have adversely impacted liquidity in the debt markets, making financing terms for borrowers less attractive, and in certain cases resulting in the practicable unavailability of certain types of debt financing. For example, the market for senior unsecured debt financing has been generally unavailable to REITs during 2008. We anticipate that the senior unsecured debt market will be unavailable for the remainder of 2009. As a consequence, we have shifted our financing strategy to include more secured debt.
In addition to our reliance on access to credit markets in the conduct of our business, we have relied on the proceeds from the sale of our real estate assets to fund our growth opportunities. The absence of available financing to facilitate purchase and sale transactions has reduced our ability to rely on the proceeds to fund our growth opportunities.
Additionally, to the extent that credit continues to be less available than in the past and/or more costly than in the past, this state of affairs will likely have an adverse impact on the value of commercial real estate. Uncertainty in the markets about the pricing of real estate has also reduced our ability to rely on the sale of our real estate assets to fund our growth opportunities.
The dramatic and pervasive nature of the economic downturn engendered by the “credit crisis” has resulted in substantial job losses and financial stress to the businesses which form our tenant base. Although the Company endeavors to lease to credit-worthy tenants and has historically experienced relatively few defaults due to tenant bankruptcy, in this economic environment the Company may sustain substantially increased tenant defaults due to bankruptcy or otherwise. Such losses may be greater than expected and may result in a material diminution in the income generated by the Company’s portfolio.
Recent developments in the general economy have affected some of our existing tenants, and could have an adverse impact on our ability to collect rent or renew leases with these tenants, resulting in a negative effect on our cash flow from operations.
Recent developments in the general economy and the global credit markets have had a significant adverse effect on many companies in numerous industries, particularly the financial services and banking industries. We have tenants in these and other industries which may be experiencing these adverse effects. Should any of our tenants that may experience a downturn in its business that weakens its financial condition, delay lease commencement, fail to make rental payments when due, become insolvent or declare bankruptcy, the result could be a termination of the tenant’s lease and material losses to us. Our cash flow from operations and our ability to make expected distributions to our shareholders and service our indebtedness could, in such a case, be adversely affected.
Unfavorable events affecting our existing tenants, or negative market conditions that may affect our existing tenants, could have an adverse impact on our ability to attract new tenants, relet space, collect rent or renew leases, and thus could have a negative effect on our cash flow from operations.
Our cash flow from operations depends on our ability to lease space to tenants on economically favorable terms. Therefore, we could be adversely affected by various facts and events over which we have limited control, such as:
  §   lack of demand for space in the areas where our Properties are located
 
  §   inability to retain existing tenants and attract new tenants
 
  §   oversupply of or reduced demand for space and changes in market rental rates
 
  §   defaults by our tenants or their failure to pay rent on a timely basis
 
  §   the need to periodically renovate and repair our space
 
  §   physical damage to our Properties
 
  §   economic or physical decline of the areas where our Properties are located
 
  §   potential risk of functional obsolescence of our Properties over time

Table of Contents

If a tenant is unable to pay rent due to us, we may be forced to evict such tenants, or engage in other remedies, which may be expensive and time consuming and may adversely affect our net income, shareholders’ equity and cash distributions to shareholders.
At any time, any of our tenants may experience a downturn in its business that may weaken its financial condition. As a result, a tenant may delay lease commencement, fail to make rental payments when due, decline to extend a lease upon its expiration, become insolvent or declare bankruptcy. Any tenant bankruptcy or insolvency, leasing delay or failure to make rental payments when due could result in the termination of the tenant’s lease and material losses to our Company.
If our tenants do not renew their leases as they expire, we may not be able to rent the space. Furthermore, leases that are renewed, and some new leases for space that is relet, may have terms that are less economically favorable to us than current lease terms, or may require us to incur significant costs, such as for renovations, tenant improvements or lease transaction costs.
Any of these events could adversely affect our cash flow from operations and our ability to make expected distributions to our shareholders and service our indebtedness.
A significant portion of our costs, such as real estate taxes, insurance costs, and debt service payments, generally are not reduced when circumstances cause a decrease in cash flow from our Properties.
We may not be able to compete successfully with other entities that operate in our industry.
We experience a great deal of competition in attracting tenants for our Properties and in locating land to develop and properties to acquire.
In our effort to lease our Properties, we compete for tenants with a broad spectrum of other landlords in each of our markets. These competitors include, among others, publicly-held REITs, privately-held entities, individual property owners and tenants who wish to sublease their space. Some of these competitors may be able to offer prospective tenants more attractive financial or other terms than we are able to offer.
We may experience increased operating costs, which could adversely affect our operations.
Our Properties are subject to increases in operating expenses such as insurance, cleaning, electricity, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, general and administrative costs and other costs associated with security, landscaping, repairs and maintenance. While our current tenants generally are obligated to pay a significant portion of these costs, there is no assurance that these tenants will make such payments or agree to pay these costs upon renewal or that new tenants will agree to pay these costs. If operating expenses increase in our markets, we may not be able to increase rents or reimbursements in all of these markets so as to meet increased expenses without simultaneously decreasing occupancy rates. If this occurs, our ability to make distributions to shareholders and service our indebtedness could be adversely affected.
Our ability to achieve growth in operating income depends in part on our ability to develop properties, which may suffer under certain circumstances.
We intend to continue to develop properties when warranted by market conditions. However, current market conditions are not favorable for development and consequently we expect growth in operating income from development to be limited at least in the near term.
Additionally, our general construction and development activities include the risks that:
  §   construction and leasing of a property may not be completed on schedule, which could result in increased expenses and construction costs, and would result in reduced profitability
 
  §   construction costs may exceed our original estimates due to increases in interest rates and increased materials, labor or other costs, possibly making the property unprofitable because we may not be able to increase rents to compensate for the increase in construction costs
 
  §   some developments may fail to achieve expectations, possibly making them unprofitable
 
  §   we may be unable to obtain, or may face delays in obtaining, required zoning, land-use, building, occupancy, and other governmental permits and authorizations, which could result in increased costs and could require us to abandon our activities entirely with respect to a project

Table of Contents

  §   we may abandon development opportunities after we begin to explore them and as a result, we may fail to recover costs already incurred. If we alter or discontinue our development efforts, past and future costs of the investment may need to be expensed rather than capitalized and we may determine the investment is impaired, resulting in a loss
 
  §   we may expend funds on and devote management’s time to projects that we do not complete
 
  §   occupancy rates and rents at newly completed properties may fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including market and economic conditions, and may result in lower than projected rental rates with the result that our investment is not profitable
We face risks associated with property acquisitions.
We acquire individual properties and portfolios of properties, in some cases through the acquisition of operating entities, and intend to continue to do so when circumstances warrant. However, current market conditions are not favorable for acquisitions and consequently we expect growth in operating income from acquisitions to be limited at least in the near term.
Additionally, our acquisition activities and their success are subject to the following risks:
  §   when we are able to locate a desirable property, competition from other real estate investors may significantly increase the purchase price
 
  §   acquired properties may fail to perform as expected
 
  §   the actual costs of repositioning or redeveloping acquired properties may be higher than our estimates
 
  §   acquired properties may be located in new markets where we face risks associated with an incomplete knowledge or understanding of the local market, a limited number of established business relationships in the area and a relative unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures
 
  §   we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties and operating entities, into our existing operations, and as a result, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected
We may acquire properties subject to liabilities and without any recourse, or with only limited recourse, with respect to unknown liabilities. As a result, if a liability were asserted against us based upon ownership of those properties, we might have to pay substantial sums to settle it, which could adversely affect our cash flow.
Many of our Properties are concentrated in our primary markets, and we therefore may suffer economic harm as a result of adverse conditions in those markets.
Our Properties are located principally in specific geographic areas. Due to the concentration of our Properties in these areas, performance is dependent on economic conditions in these areas. These areas have experienced periods of economic decline.
We may not be able to access financial markets to obtain capital on a timely basis, or on acceptable terms.
In addition to the capital market constraints previously noted, our ability to access the public debt and equity markets depends on a variety of factors, including:
  §   general economic conditions affecting these markets
 
  §   our own financial structure and performance
 
  §   the market’s opinion of REITs in general
 
  §   the market’s opinion of REITs that own properties similar to ours
We may suffer adverse effects as a result of the terms of and covenants relating to our indebtedness.
Required payments on our indebtedness generally are not reduced if the economic performance of our portfolio of Properties declines. If the economic performance of our Properties declines, net income, cash flow from operations and cash available for distribution to shareholders will be reduced. If payments on debt cannot be made, we could sustain a loss, or in the case of mortgages, suffer foreclosures by mortgagees or suffer judgments. Further, some obligations, including our $600 million credit facility and $2.1 billion in unsecured notes issued in past public offerings, contain cross-default and/or cross-acceleration provisions, as does $10.9 million in outstanding mortgage indebtedness at December 31, 2008, which means that a default on one obligation may constitute a default on other obligations.

Table of Contents

Our credit facility and unsecured debt securities contain customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness, including total debt to asset ratios, secured debt to total asset ratios, debt service coverage ratios and minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt which we must maintain. Our continued ability to borrow under our $600 million credit facility is subject to compliance with our financial and other covenants. In addition, our failure to comply with such covenants could cause a default under this credit facility, and we may then be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources. Under those circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available to us, or be available only on unattractive terms.
Our degree of leverage could limit our ability to obtain additional financing or affect the market price of our Common Shares.
Our degree of leverage could affect our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development or other general corporate purposes. Our senior unsecured debt is currently rated investment grade by the three major rating agencies. However, there can be no assurance we will be able to maintain this rating, and in the event our senior debt is downgraded from its current rating, we would likely incur higher borrowing costs. Our degree of leverage could also make us more vulnerable to a downturn in business or the economy generally.
Further issuances of equity securities may be dilutive to our existing shareholders.
The interests of our existing shareholders could be diluted if we issue additional equity securities to finance future developments, acquisitions, or repay indebtedness. We are currently engaged in an ongoing offering of up to $150 million of our equity securities. Additionally, our Board of Trustees can authorize the issuance of additional securities without shareholder approval. Our ability to execute our business strategy depends on our access to an appropriate blend of debt financing, including unsecured lines of credit and other forms of secured and unsecured debt, and equity financing, including issuances of common and preferred equity.
An increase in interest rates would increase our interest costs on variable rate debt and could adversely impact our ability to refinance existing debt.
We currently have, and may incur more, indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates. Accordingly, if interest rates increase, so will our interest costs, which would adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders. Further, rising interest rates could limit our ability to refinance existing debt when it matures.
Property ownership through joint ventures will limit our ability to act exclusively in our interests and may require us to depend on the financial performance of our co-venturers.
From time to time we invest in joint ventures in which we do not hold a controlling interest. These investments involve risks that do not exist with properties in which we own a controlling interest, including the possibility that our partners may, at any time, have business, economic or other objectives that are inconsistent with our objectives. In instances where we lack a controlling interest, our partners may be in a position to require action that is contrary to our objectives. While we seek to negotiate the terms of these joint ventures in a way that secures our ability to act in our best interests, there can be no assurance that those terms will be sufficient to fully protect us against actions contrary to our interests. If the objectives of our co-ventures are inconsistent with ours, we may not in every case be able to act exclusively in our interests.
Additionally, our joint venture partners may experience financial difficulties that impair their ability to meet their obligations to the joint venture, such as with respect to providing additional capital, if required. If such a circumstance presented itself we may be required to perform on their behalf, if possible, or suffer a loss of all or a portion of our investment in the joint venture.
Risks Related to the Real Estate Industry
Real estate investments are illiquid, and we may not be able to sell our Properties if and when we determine it is appropriate to do so.
Real estate generally cannot be sold quickly. We may not be able to dispose of our Properties promptly in response to economic or other conditions. In addition, provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the

12


Table of Contents

“Code”) limit a REIT’s ability to sell properties in some situations when it may be economically advantageous to do so, thereby adversely affecting returns to shareholders and adversely impacting our ability to meet our obligations to the holders of other securities.
We may experience economic harm if any damage to our Properties is not covered by insurance.
We believe all of our Properties are adequately insured. However, we cannot guarantee that the limits of our current policies will be sufficient in the event of a catastrophe to our Properties. Our existing property and liability policies expire during 2009. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to renew or duplicate our current coverages in adequate amounts or at reasonable prices.
We may suffer losses that are not covered under our comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and rental loss insurance policies. For example, we may not be insured for losses resulting from acts of war, certain acts of terrorism, or from environmental liabilities. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits should occur, we would nevertheless remain liable for the loss which could adversely affect cash flow from operations.
Potential liability for environmental contamination could result in substantial costs.
Under federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, we may be required to investigate and clean up the effects of releases of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products at our Properties simply because of our current or past ownership or operation of the real estate. If unidentified environmental problems arise, we may have to make substantial payments which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders because:
  §   as owner or operator, we may have to pay for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred in connection with the contamination
 
  §   the law typically imposes clean-up responsibility and liability regardless of whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the contamination
 
  §   even if more than one person may be responsible for the contamination, each person who shares legal liability under the environmental laws may be held responsible for all of the clean-up costs
 
  §   governmental entities and third parties may sue the owner or operator of a contaminated site for damages and costs
These costs could be substantial. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products or the failure to properly remediate contamination may materially and adversely affect our ability to borrow against, sell or rent an affected property. In addition, applicable environmental laws create liens on contaminated sites in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with a contamination. Changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing at our Properties may result in significant unanticipated expenditures.
It is our policy to retain independent environmental consultants to conduct Phase I environmental site assessments and asbestos surveys with respect to our acquisition of properties. These assessments generally include a visual inspection of the properties and the surrounding areas, an examination of current and historical uses of the properties and the surrounding areas and a review of relevant state, federal and historical documents, but do not involve invasive techniques such as soil and ground water sampling. Where appropriate, on a property-by-property basis, our practice is to have these consultants conduct additional testing, including sampling for asbestos, for lead in drinking water, for soil contamination where underground storage tanks are or were located or where other past site usages create a potential environmental problem, and for contamination in groundwater. Even though these environmental assessments are conducted, there is still the risk that:
  §   the environmental assessments and updates will not identify all potential environmental liabilities
 
  §   a prior owner created a material environmental condition that is not known to us or the independent consultants preparing the assessments
 
  §   new environmental liabilities have developed since the environmental assessments were conducted
 
  §   future uses or conditions such as changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations could result in environmental liability for us
While we test indoor air quality on a regular basis and have an ongoing maintenance program in place to address this aspect of property operations, inquiries about indoor air quality may necessitate special investigation and, depending on the results, remediation. Indoor air quality issues can stem from inadequate ventilation, chemical contaminants

13


Table of Contents

from indoor or outdoor sources, pollen, viruses and bacteria. Indoor exposure to chemical or biological contaminants above certain levels can be alleged to be connected to allergic reactions or other health effects and symptoms in susceptible individuals. If these conditions were to occur at one of our Properties, we may need to undertake a targeted remediation program, including without limitation, steps to increase indoor ventilation rates and eliminate sources of contaminants. Such remediation programs could be costly, necessitate the temporary relocation of some or all of the Property’s tenants or require rehabilitation of the affected Property.
Our Properties may contain or develop harmful mold, which could lead to liability for adverse health effects and costs of remediating the problem.
When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth may occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds may produce airborne toxins or irritants. Concern about indoor exposure to mold has been increasing as exposure to mold may cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. As a result, the presence of significant mold at any of our Properties could require us to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold from the affected Property. In addition, the presence of significant mold could expose us to liability from our tenants, employees of our tenants and others if property damage or health concerns arise.
Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and fire, safety and other regulations may require us to make expenditures that adversely impact our operating results.
All of our Properties are required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”). The ADA generally requires that buildings be made accessible to people with disabilities. Compliance with the ADA requirements could require removal of access barriers, and non-compliance could result in imposition of fines by the United States government or an award of damages to private litigants, or both. Expenditures related to complying with the provisions of the ADA could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and our ability to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, we are required to operate our Properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations, as they may be adopted by governmental agencies and bodies and become applicable to our Properties. We may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with those requirements and these expenditures could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition, as well as our ability to make distributions to shareholders.
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may adversely impact our operating results and may affect markets on which our securities are traded.
Terrorist attacks against our Properties, or against the United States or United States interests generally, may negatively affect our operations and investments in our securities. Attacks or armed conflicts could have a direct adverse impact on our Properties or operations through damage, destruction, loss or increased security costs. Any terrorism insurance that we obtain may be insufficient to cover the loss for damages to our Properties as a result of terrorist attacks.
Furthermore, any terrorist attacks or armed conflicts could result in increased volatility in or damage to the United States and worldwide financial markets and economy. Adverse economic conditions could affect the ability of our tenants to pay rent, which could have an adverse impact on our operating results.
Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure
We have elected REIT status under the federal tax laws and could suffer adverse consequences if we fail to qualify as a REIT.
We have elected REIT status under federal tax laws and have taken the steps known to us to perfect that status, but we cannot be certain that we qualify or that we will remain qualified. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Code, as to which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations. The complexity of these provisions and of the related income tax regulations is greater in the case of a REIT that holds its assets in partnership form, as we do. Moreover, no assurance can be given that new tax laws will not significantly affect our qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification. New laws could be applied retroactively, which means that past operations could be found to be in violation, which would have a negative effect on the business.

14


Table of Contents

If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the distributions to shareholders would not be deductible when computing taxable income. If this happened, we would be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. Also, we could be prevented from qualifying as a REIT for the four years following the year in which we were disqualified. Further, if we requalified as a REIT after failing to qualify, we might have to pay the full corporate-level tax on any unrealized gain in our assets during the period we were not qualified as a REIT. We would then have to distribute to our shareholders the earnings we accumulated while we were not qualified as a REIT. These additional taxes would reduce our funds available for distribution to our shareholders. In addition, while we were disqualified as a REIT, we would not be required by the Code to make distributions to our shareholders. A failure by the Company to qualify as a REIT and the resulting requirement to pay taxes and interest (and perhaps penalties) would cause us to default under various agreements to which we are a party, including under our credit facility, and would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, earnings, financial condition and our ability to make distributions to shareholders.
Future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may lead our Board of Trustees to authorize the revocation of our election to qualify as a REIT. A revocation of our REIT status would require the consent of the holders of a majority of the voting interests of all of our outstanding Common Shares.
Risks associated with potential borrowings necessary to make distributions to qualify as a REIT; distributions can be made in Common Shares.
We intend to make distributions to shareholders to comply with the distribution provisions of the Code necessary to maintain qualification as a REIT and to avoid income taxes and the non-deductible excise tax. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to borrow funds to meet the distribution requirements necessary to achieve the tax benefits associated with qualifying as a REIT. In such circumstances, we might need to borrow funds to avoid adverse tax consequences, even if our management believes that the prevailing market conditions are not generally favorable for such borrowings or that such borrowings would not be advisable in the absence of such tax considerations.
For distributions with respect to a taxable year ending on or before December 31, 2009, Company stock may be used to meet these distribution requirements, subject to the requirements of Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 2009-15, 200-4 I.R.B. 356. Under this Revenue Procedure, we are permitted to make taxable distributions of our stock (in lieu of cash) if (x) any such distribution is declared with respect to a taxable year ending on or before December 31, 2009, and (y) each of our stockholders is permitted to elect to receive its entire entitlement under such declaration in either cash or shares of equivalent value subject to a limitation in the amount of cash to be distributed in the aggregate; provided that (i) the amount of cash that we set aside for distribution is not less than 10% of aggregate distribution so declared, and (ii) if too many of our stockholders elect to receive cash, a pro rata amount of cash will be distributed to each such stockholder electing to receive cash, but in no event will any such stockholder receive less than its entire entitlement under such declaration.
Certain officers of the Trust may not have the same interests as shareholders as to certain tax laws.
Certain officers of the Trust own Common Units. These units may be exchanged for our Common Shares. The officers who own those units and have not yet exchanged them for our Common Shares may suffer different and more adverse tax consequences than holders of our Common Shares suffer in certain situations:
  §   when certain of our Properties are sold
 
  §   when debt on those Properties is refinanced
 
  §   if we are involved in a tender offer or merger
Because these officers own units and face different consequences than shareholders do, the Trust and those officers may have different objectives as to these transactions than shareholders do.
Certain aspects of our organization could have the effect of restricting or preventing a change of control of our Company, which could have an adverse effect on the price of our shares.
Our charter contains an ownership limit on shares. To qualify as a REIT, five or fewer individuals cannot own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% in value of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest. To this end, our Declaration of Trust, among other things, generally prohibits any holder of the Trust’s shares from owning more than 5% of the Trust’s outstanding shares of beneficial interest, unless that holder gets the consent from our Board of

15


Table of Contents

Trustees. This limitation could prevent the acquisition of control of the Company by a third party without the consent from our Board of Trustees.
We have a staggered board and certain restrictive nominating procedures. Our Board of Trustees has three classes of trustees. The term of office of one class expires each year. Trustees for each class are elected for three-year terms as that class’ term expires. The terms of the Class III, Class I, and Class II trustees expire in 2009, 2010, and 2011, respectively. Any nominee for trustee must be selected under the nominating provisions contained in our Declaration of Trust and By-Laws. The staggered terms for trustees and the nominating procedures may affect shareholders’ ability to take control of the Company, even if a change in control were in the shareholders’ interest.
We can issue preferred shares. Our Declaration of Trust authorizes our Board of Trustees to establish the preferences and rights of any shares issued. The issuance of preferred shares could have the effect of delaying, making more difficult or preventing a change of control of the Company, even if a change in control were in the shareholder’s interest.
There are limitations on acquisition of and changes in control pursuant to, and fiduciary protections of The Board under Maryland law. The Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”) contains provisions which are applicable to the Trust as if the Trust were a corporation. Among these provisions is a section, referred to as the “control share acquisition statute,” which eliminates the voting rights of shares acquired in quantities so as to constitute “control shares,” as defined under the MGCL. The MGCL also contains provisions applicable to us that are referred to as the “business combination statute,” which would generally limit business combinations between the Company and any 10% owners of the Trust’s shares or any affiliate thereof. Further, Maryland law provides broad discretion to the Board with respect to its fiduciary duties in considering a change in control of our Company, including that the Board is subject to no greater level of scrutiny in considering a change in control transaction than with respect to any other act by the Board. Finally, the “unsolicited takeovers” provisions of the MGCL permit the Board, without shareholder approval and regardless of what is currently provided in our Declaration of Trust or By-Laws, to implement takeover defenses that our Company does not yet have, including permitting only the Board to fix the size of the Board and permitting only the Board to fill a vacancy on the Board. All of these provisions may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making an acquisition proposal for our Company or of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of Common Shares with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then current market price.
Various factors out of our control could hurt the market value of our publicly traded securities.
The value of our publicly traded securities depends on various market conditions, which may change from time to time. In addition to general economic and market conditions and our particular financial condition and performance, the value of our publicly traded securities could be affected by, among other things, the extent of institutional investor interest in us and the market’s opinion of REITs in general and, in particular, REITs that own and operate properties similar to ours.
The market value of the equity securities of a REIT may be based primarily upon the market’s perception of the REITs growth potential and its current and future cash distributions, and may be secondarily based upon the real estate market value of the underlying assets. The failure to meet the market’s expectations with regard to future earnings and cash distributions likely would adversely affect the market price of publicly traded securities. On November 17, 2008, we announced that our annual dividend rate was being reduced from $2.50 to $1.90. Our payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will depend on numerous factors including our cash flow, financial condition and capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, the general economic environment and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deems relevant, and we cannot assure you that our annual dividend rate will be maintained at its current level.
Rising market interest rates could make an investment in publicly traded securities less attractive. If market interest rates increase, purchasers of publicly traded securities may demand a higher annual yield on the price they pay for their securities. This could adversely affect the market price of publicly traded securities.
We no longer have a shareholder rights plan but are not precluded from adopting one.
Our shareholder rights plan expired in accordance with its terms on December 31, 2007. While we did not extend or renew the plan, we are not prohibited from adopting, without shareholder approval, a shareholder rights plan that may discourage any potential acquirer from acquiring more than a specific percentage of our outstanding Common Shares

16


Table of Contents

since, upon this type of acquisition without approval of our Board of Trustees, all other common shareholders would have the right to purchase a specified amount of Common Shares at a substantial discount from market price.
Transactions by the Trust or the Operating Partnership could adversely affect debt holders.
Except with respect to several covenants limiting the incurrence of indebtedness and a covenant requiring the Operating Partnership to maintain a certain unencumbered total asset value, our indentures do not contain any additional provisions that would protect holders of the Operating Partnership’s debt securities in the event of (i) a highly leveraged transaction involving the Operating Partnership, (ii) a change of control or (iii) certain reorganizations, restructurings, mergers or similar transactions involving the Operating Partnership or the Trust.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Wholly Owned Properties in Operation, as of December 31, 2008, consisted of 357 industrial and 297 office properties. Single tenants occupy 200 Wholly Owned Properties in Operation. These tenants generally require a reduced level of service in connection with the operation or maintenance of these properties. The remaining 454 of the Company’s Wholly Owned Properties in Operation are multi-tenant properties for which the Company renders a range of building, operating and maintenance services.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company has been substituted for Republic Property Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust, and Republic Property Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, (together, “Republic”) as a party to certain litigation as a result of the Company’s acquisition of Republic on October 4, 2007. The litigation is summarized below. The litigation arises out of disputes between Republic and certain parties, two of whom were members of Republic’s Board of Trustees and “founders” of Republic. The disputes include claims arising from the termination of an officer of Republic, the termination of a development arrangement in West Palm Beach, Florida and an attempt by Republic to acquire a certain office property from an entity controlled by the aforementioned related parties pursuant to an option agreement entered into at the time of Republic’s formation.
On November 17, 2006, Republic disclosed in a Form 8-K that Steven A. Grigg, its President and Chief Development Officer, had notified it that he was terminating his employment, purportedly for “good reason,” as such term is defined in his employment agreement, dated December 20, 2005. Mr. Grigg also asserted that, as a result of such termination, he was entitled to the severance payments provided for under the terms of the employment agreement. The cash portion of such severance payments could be valued at up to approximately $1.8 million. The Company disagrees with Mr. Grigg that there is a basis for termination by Mr. Grigg for good reason; therefore, we believe that Mr. Grigg terminated his employment without good reason as of November 13, 2006, the date of his termination letter. Accordingly, we believe that no severance payments are due and we have not remitted any such payments to Mr. Grigg under the terms of his employment agreement.
On December 22, 2006, Mr. Grigg filed a lawsuit against Republic in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Mr. Grigg alleges, among other things, that (i) Republic breached his employment agreement, (ii) Republic breached its duties of good faith and fair dealing and (iii) the Noncompetition Agreement dated December 20, 2005 between Mr. Grigg and Republic is unenforceable and void. Mr. Grigg seeks, among other remedies, (i) the severance payment allegedly due under the employment agreement, (ii) other damages in an amount to be finally determined at trial and (iii) the voiding of the Noncompetition Agreement. The Company believes that Mr. Grigg’s lawsuit is without merit, generally denies the allegations in the complaint and denies that Mr. Grigg is entitled to any of the relief sought in his complaint. Republic originally asserted various counterclaims against Mr. Grigg, including claims for common law fraud, state securities fraud, breach of his employment agreement, breach of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment. Republic subsequently voluntarily dismissed without prejudice its common law fraud, state securities fraud and unjust enrichment claims in order to pursue those claims in the litigation described below pending in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The Company’s counterclaims against Mr. Grigg for breach of his employment agreement and breach of his fiduciary duties remain pending in the District of Columbia Superior Court litigation. On March 30, 2007, the Court denied, in its entirety, Mr. Grigg’s motion to dismiss these counterclaims. The Company seeks damages and other appropriate relief on these counterclaims.
On March 6, 2007, Mr. Richard Kramer, Republic’s former Non-executive Chairman of the Board, filed a lawsuit against Republic in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland Southern Division, in which he sought advancement for legal fees incurred by him purportedly in connection with an independent counsel’s investigation with respect to certain matters involving Republic’s course of dealing in a West Palm Beach development project, as well as those fees incurred in filing and prosecuting this lawsuit. On May 3, 2007, Mr. Kramer voluntarily dismissed this case, and filed a nearly identical lawsuit against Republic in the Circuit Court of Baltimore County, Maryland. We believe that Mr. Kramer’s lawsuit is without merit and filed a motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, motion for summary judgment, seeking the dismissal of Mr. Kramer’s lawsuit. Mr. Kramer filed

20


Table of Contents

a motion for summary judgment against the Company. On November 2, 2007 the Court denied Mr. Kramer’s motion for summary judgment and granted the Company’s motion to dismiss. Mr. Kramer has appealed the Court’s judgment.
On March 28, 2007, Republic filed a lawsuit against Messrs. Kramer and Grigg and Republic Properties Corporation in the United States District Court of the District of Columbia. This lawsuit asserts, among other things, claims against (i) all three defendants for (a) federal and state securities fraud and (b) common law fraud; (ii) Messrs. Kramer and Grigg for (a) federal and state control person liability and (b) unjust enrichment; and (iii) Republic Properties Corporation for (a) breach of contract and (b) indemnification. The Company seeks, among other remedies, (i) damages in an amount not less than $1.2 million, the approximate value (at the time of issuance) of the partnership units issued by Republic Property Limited Partnership to Republic Properties Corporation in connection with the West Palm Beach City Center Development Contribution Agreement, (ii) additional damages incurred by us as a result of the termination of the West Palm Beach Professional Services Agreement, (iii) recovery of the costs, including attorneys fees, associated with a previously-disclosed independent investigation, (iv) reimbursement for Republic’s expenses in this litigation, including attorneys’ fees, and (v) other damages, including punitive damages, in an amount to be finally determined at trial. On April 27, 2007, Republic filed an Amended Complaint in the District of Columbia District Court action, adding to the claims set forth immediately above a claim for declaratory judgment that Mr. Kramer was not entitled to advancement or reimbursement of any of the fees sought in his Maryland litigation. Republic Properties Corporation, Messrs. Kramer and Grigg filed motions to dismiss this lawsuit. On March 31, 2008, the Court granted the motion to dismiss. We filed a motion for reconsideration of the grant of the motion to dismiss. On August 13, 2008, the Court denied the motion for reconsideration. We have appealed the Court’s decision.
On May 21, 2007, Republic proffered a lease, or the Lease, to 25 Massachusetts Avenue Property LLC, or 25 Mass, for certain space in Republic Square I, an office building in Washington, D.C., or the Option Property. Two of Republic’s founders and Trustees, Richard L. Kramer and Steven A. Grigg, currently control 25 Mass and Mark R. Keller, Republic’s former Chief Executive Officer, holds an ownership interest in 25 Mass. Based on information provided by 25 Mass, immediately prior to the proffer of the Lease, approximately 50% of the Option Property’s net rentable area was under lease and approximately 37% of the Option Property’s net rentable area was rent paying space. Had 25 Mass accepted the Lease, more than 85% of the space in the Option Property would have been rent paying space. The base rents and other material terms of the Lease proffer were based on 25 Mass’s lease up projections for the Property and the Lease was on 25 Mass’s form lease agreement.
On May 22, 2007, 25 Mass rejected the proffer of the Lease, asserting, among other things, that it was “not a bona fide business proposal for Republic’s own occupancy and leasing of space”. On May 29, 2007, Republic (i) re-tendered the Lease to 25 Mass for certain space at the Option Property and (ii) exercised its exclusive option to purchase the fee interest in the Option Property pursuant to the Option Agreement among 25 Mass, 660 North Capitol Street Property LLC and Republic dated as of November 28, 2005, or the Option Agreement. On May 30, 2007, 25 Mass rejected the Lease and claimed that “there has been no effective exercise of the Option.” The Company believes that the Lease was properly tendered for an appropriate purpose and, accordingly, the Company re-proffered the Lease to 25 Mass. 25 Mass rejected the Lease proffer and disputed whether the Lease entitled Republic to purchase the Property, pursuant to its exercise of the option, at the Purchase Price (as defined in the Option Agreement).
In response to 25 Mass’s rejection, on June 15, 2007, Republic filed a lawsuit against 25 Mass in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware. This lawsuit asserts, among other things, that (i) by refusing to accept Republic’s option exercise 25 Mass has breached the Option Agreement and (ii) by deciding not to refinance a construction loan on the Property and rejecting the Lease, 25 Mass has breached the covenant of good faith and fair dealing implied in every contract governed by the laws of the District of Columbia. Republic sought, among other remedies, to obtain (I) an injunction against 25 Mass’s sale of the Option Property to any party other than Republic, (II) a declaration that the Lease and option exercise are effective and (III) an order that 25 Mass specifically perform its obligation to sell the Option Property to Republic pursuant to the Option Agreement. Also on June 15, 2007, Republic filed a Notice of Pendency of Action (Lis Pendens) in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds in the District of Columbia, in order to record Republic’s interest in the Option Property as reflected in the Delaware Chancery Court action. On April 7, 2008, the Court of Chancery issued an opinion concluding that neither party was entitled to relief and ordering that the Lis Pendens be lifted. On April 15, 2008, 25 Mass filed a notice of appeal from dismissal of its counterclaims. The parties fully briefed 25 Mass’ appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court, to which all appeals are made. Oral argument in this matter was made before the Delaware Supreme Court on November 12, 2008. On November 25, 2008, the Delaware Supreme Court remanded the matter to the Court of Chancery in order for the Court of Chancery to consider 25 Mass’ claimed breach of the Option Agreement based on (i) liability for breach of the implied duty of

21


Table of Contents

good faith and fair dealing; and (ii) liability for breach of the “further assurances” clause of the option agreement. On January 22, 2009, the Court of Chancery issued a Memorandum Opinion adhering to its original determination that 25 Mass’ counterclaim should be dismissed. On January 29, 2009, the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware set forth a schedule for supplemental memoranda to be filed by the parties. The schedule contemplates that the matter will be submitted to the Court for decision on briefs as of April 8, 2009.
On December 12, 2008, 25 Mass filed a complaint in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that 25 Mass had entered a purchase and sale agreement with a third party for the sale of Republic Square I, and that Republic’s lawsuit and its Lis Pendens, described above, prevented a closing by which Republic Square I could be sold under the terms of that purchase and sale agreement. The December 12, 2008 lawsuit alleges that by so doing, Republic committed tortious interference with contract, tortious interference with prospective contractual relations, malicious prosecution, abuse of process and a violation of the Washington D.C. Lis Pendens statute. The filed complaint seeks “no less than $85 million” in compensatory damages, and “no less than $85 million” in punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees for an improperly filed Lis Pendens under Washington D.C. Code § 42-1207(d). We believe that these claims are without merit and intend to defend vigorously against this litigation.
While management currently believes that resolving these matters will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position, our results of operations or our cash flows, the litigation noted above is subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable final outcome to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our financial position and the results of operations for the period in which the effect becomes capable of being reasonably estimated.

As of February 23, 2009, the Common Shares were held by 1,167 holders of record. Since its initial public offering in 1994, the Company has paid regular and uninterrupted quarterly dividends.
On November 17, 2008, the Company announced that its annual dividend rate was being reduced from $2.50 to $1.90. Although the Company currently anticipates that dividends at that or a comparable rate will continue to be paid in the future, the payment of future dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Board of Trustees and will depend on numerous factors including the Company’s cash flow, its financial condition, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, the general economic environment and such other factors as the Board of Trustees deems relevant.
In November 2008, certain individuals acquired a total of 110,000 common shares of beneficial interest of Liberty Property Trust in exchange for the same number of units of limited partnership interest in Liberty Property Limited Partnership. Such persons acquired these units of limited partnership interest in connection with their contribution to the Operating Partnership of certain assets in 1998. The exchange of common shares of beneficial interest for the units of limited partnership interest is exempt from the registration requirement of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4 (2) thereunder.

(3)   The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) has issued a standard definition for Funds from operations (as defined below). The Securities and Exchange Commission has agreed to the disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure on a per share basis in its Release No. 34-47226, Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The Company believes that the calculation of Funds from operations is helpful to investors and management as it is a measure of the Company’s operating performance that excludes depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions. As a result, year over year comparison of Funds from operations reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, management believes that Funds from operations provides useful information to the investment community about the Company’s financial performance when compared to other REITs since Funds from operations is generally recognized as the standard for reporting the operating performance of a REIT. Funds from operations available to common shareholders is defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Funds from operations available to common shareholders does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate that cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Funds from operations available to common shareholders also does not represent cash flows generated

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Liberty Property Trust (the “Trust”) is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust’s assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by its subsidiary, Liberty Property Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, collectively with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”).
The Company operates primarily in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern United States. Additionally, the Company owns certain assets in the United Kingdom.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company owned and operated 357 industrial and 297 office properties (the “Wholly Owned Properties in Operation”) totaling 63.8 million square feet. In addition, as of December 31, 2008, the Company owned 17 properties under development, which when completed are expected to comprise 3.2 million square feet (the “Wholly Owned Properties under Development”) and 1,336 acres of developable land, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use. Additionally, as of December 31, 2008, the Company had an ownership interest, through unconsolidated joint ventures, in 46 industrial and 49 office properties totaling 13.1 million square feet (the “JV Properties in Operation” and, together with the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation, the “Properties in Operation”), four properties under development, which when completed are expected to comprise 1.4 million square feet (the “JV Properties under Development” and, together with the Wholly Owned Properties under Development, the “Properties under Development”). The Company also has an ownership interest through unconsolidated joint ventures in 648 acres of developable land, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use.
The Company focuses on creating value for shareholders and increasing profitability and cash flow. With respect to its Properties in Operation, the Company endeavors to maintain high occupancy levels while increasing rental rates and controlling costs. The Company pursues development opportunities that it believes will create value and yield acceptable returns. The Company also acquires properties that it believes will create long-term value, and disposes of properties that no longer fit within the Company’s strategic objectives or in situations where it can optimize cash proceeds. The Company’s operating results depend primarily upon income from rental operations and are substantially influenced by rental demand for the Properties in Operation.
Recent uncertainty in the global credit markets and declines and weakness in the general economy have negatively impacted the Company’s business practices. The credit markets have become considerably less favorable than in the recent past and the Company has shifted its financing strategy to include more secured debt and equity sales in order to address its financing needs. Additionally, uncertainty about the pricing of commercial real estate and the absence of available financing to facilitate transactions has dramatically reduced the Company’s ability to rely on the proceeds from the sale of real estate to provide proceeds to fund investment opportunities. Similarly, current market conditions are not favorable for acquisitions and development and consequently the potential for growth in operating income from acquisitions and development is anticipated to be limited in 2009.
Consistent with the dramatic slow down in the United States and world economy, rental demand for the Properties in Operation declined for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007. Despite this trend, the Company successfully leased 20.4 million square feet during the year ended December 31, 2008 and attained occupancy of 91.1% for the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation and 92.2% for the JV Properties in Operation for a combined occupancy of 91.3% for the Properties in Operation as of that date. At December 31, 2007, occupancy for the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation was 92.7% and for the JV Properties in Operation was 94.0% for a combined occupancy for the Properties in Operation of 92.9%. The Company believes that straight line rents on renewal and replacement leases for 2009 will on average be 4% to 6% greater than rents on expiring leases. Furthermore, the Company believes that average occupancy for its Properties in Operation will not increase or decrease by more than 1% for 2009 compared to 2008.

WHOLLY OWNED CAPITAL ACTIVITY
Acquisitions
During the year ended December 31, 2008, conditions for the acquisition of properties were unsettled because of adverse events in the credit markets. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company acquired one property representing 107,000 square feet for a Total Investment, as defined below, of $17.0 million. “Total Investment” for a property is defined as the property’s purchase price plus closing costs and management’s estimate, as determined at the time of acquisition, of the cost of necessary building improvements in the case of acquisitions, or land costs and land and building improvement costs in the case of development projects, and, where appropriate, other development costs and carrying costs. For 2009, the Company does not anticipate any wholly owned property acquisitions and pursuant to an existing commitment expects to purchase $17.6 million in land.
Dispositions
During the year ended December 31, 2008, market conditions for dispositions were unsettled, which the Company again attributes to adverse events in the credit markets. Disposition activity allows the Company to, among other things, (1) reduce its holdings in certain markets and product types within a market; (2) lower the average age of the portfolio; (3) optimize the cash proceeds from the sale of certain assets; and (4) obtain funds for investment activities. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company realized proceeds of $83.0 million from the sale of 13 operating properties representing 665,000 square feet and 24 acres of land. For 2009, the Company believes it will realize proceeds of approximately $125 million to $200 million from the sale of operating properties.
Development
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company brought into service 17 Wholly Owned Properties under Development representing 3.2 million square feet and a Total Investment of $217.0 million, and initiated $207.6 million in real estate development. As of December 31, 2008, the projected Total Investment of the Wholly Owned Properties under Development was $373.6 million. For 2009, the Company believes that it will bring into service from its development pipeline approximately $250 million to $350 million of Total Investment in operating real estate. Although the Company continues to pursue development opportunities, current market conditions are not favorable for development, and the Company currently anticipates only a modest amount of development starts in 2009. Furthermore, any 2009 development starts will be substantially pre-leased.
JOINT VENTURE CAPITAL ACTIVITY
The Company periodically enters into joint venture relationships in connection with the execution of its real estate operating strategy.
Acquisitions
During the year ended December 31, 2008, none of the unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company held an interest acquired any properties. For 2009, the Company believes that property acquisitions by existing joint ventures will be in the $50 million to $100 million range.
Dispositions
During the year ended December 31, 2008, a joint venture in which the Company held a 50% interest realized proceeds of $1.4 million from the sale of one acre of land. For 2009, the Company does not anticipate that any unconsolidated joint ventures in which it holds an interest will dispose of any operating properties.
Development
During the year ended December 31, 2008, joint ventures in which the Company held a 50% interest brought into service three Properties under Development representing 351,000 square feet and a Total Investment of $42.5 million. As of December 31, 2008, the projected Total Investment of JV Properties under Development was $186.4 million. For 2009, the Company expects unconsolidated joint ventures in which it holds an interest to bring into service $100 million to $175 million of Total Investment in operating properties.
Liberty/Commerz 1701 JFK Boulevard, LP
On April 13, 2006, the Company entered into a joint venture pursuant to which it sold an 80% interest in the equity of Comcast Center, a 1.25 million square foot office tower the Company was then developing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The transaction valued the property at $512 million. Upon signing the joint venture agreement and through March 30, 2008, the criteria for sale recognition in accordance with SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for the Sale of Real Estate” (“SFAS 66”) had not been met and the transaction was accounted for as a financing arrangement.

27


Table of Contents

On March 31, 2008, a $324 million, ten-year secured financing at a 6.15% interest rate for Comcast Center was funded. The proceeds from this financing were used to pay down outstanding borrowings on the Company’s Credit Facility.
On March 31, 2008, all conditions for sale treatment as outlined in SFAS No. 66 were satisfied and the Company recognized the sale of Comcast Center to an unconsolidated joint venture. Profit on the transaction was deferred until the costs of the project could be reasonably estimated. Profit on the sale was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2008. See Note 4 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company brought into service the final 306,000 square feet of Comcast Center equaling $124.1 million of Total Investment.
Forward-Looking Statements
When used throughout this report, the words “believes,” “anticipates” and “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements indicate that assumptions have been used that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual financial results or management plans and objectives to differ materially from those projected or expressed herein, including: the effect of national and regional economic conditions; rental demand; the Company’s ability to identify, and enter into agreements with suitable joint venture partners in situations where it believes such arrangements are advantageous; the Company’s ability to identify and secure additional properties and sites, both for itself and the joint ventures to which it is a party, that meet its criteria for acquisition or development; the current credit crisis and its impact on the availability and cost of capital; the effect of prevailing market interest rates; risks related to the integration of the operations of entities that we have acquired or may acquire; risks related to litigation; and other risks described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Company bases these estimates, judgments and assumptions on historical experience and on other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The following critical accounting policies discussion reflects what the Company believes are the more significant estimates, assumptions and judgments used in the preparation of its Consolidated Financial Statements. This discussion of critical accounting policies is intended to supplement the description of the accounting policies in the footnotes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and to provide additional insight into the information used by management when evaluating significant estimates, assumptions and judgments. For further discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.
Capitalized Costs
Expenditures directly related to the acquisition or improvement of real estate, including interest and other costs capitalized on development projects and land being readied for development, are included in net real estate and are stated at cost. The Company considers a development property substantially complete upon the completion of tenant build-out, but no later than one year after the completion of major construction activity. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, development related salaries and other costs incurred during the period of development. The determination to capitalize rather than expense costs requires the Company to evaluate the status of the development activity. Capitalized interest for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $20.0 million, $45.7 million and $30.8 million, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Deferred rent receivable represents the amount by which straight line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements. Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i)

the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease. The capitalized above or below-market lease values are amortized as a component of rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company monitors the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants on an on-going basis. Based on these reviews, provisions are established, and an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its tenants to make required rental payments is maintained. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $8.5 million and $6.0 million, respectively. The Company’s bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $4.8 million, $3.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company realized $2.0 million from the settlement of a tenant bankruptcy.
Impairment of Real Estate
The Company evaluates its real estate investments upon occurrence of significant adverse changes in operations to assess whether any impairment indicators are present that could affect the recovery of the recorded value. Indicators the Company uses to determine whether an impairment evaluation is necessary includes the low occupancy level of the property, holding period for the property, strategic decisions regarding future development plans for a property under development and land held for development and other market factors. If impairment indicators are present the Company performs an undiscounted cash flow analysis and compares the net carrying amount of the property to the property’s estimated undiscounted future cash flow over the anticipated holding period. The Company assesses the expected undiscounted cash flows based upon estimated capitalization rates, historic operating results and market conditions that may affect the property. If any real estate investment is considered impaired, the carrying value of the property is written down to its estimated fair value. Fair value is estimated based on the discounting of future expected cash flows at a risk adjusted interest rate. During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 the Company recognized impairment losses of $3.1 million, $0.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively. The determination of whether an impairment exists requires the Company to make estimates, judgments and assumptions about the future cash flows. The Company has evaluated each of its Properties and land held for development and has determined that there are no additional impairment charges that need to be recorded at December 31, 2008.
Intangibles
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” the Company allocates the purchase price of real estate acquired to land, building and improvements and intangibles based on the relative fair value of each component. The value ascribed to in-place leases is based on the rental rates for the existing leases compared to the Company’s estimate of the fair market lease rates for leases of similar terms and present valuing the difference based on an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired. Origination values are also assigned to in-place leases, and, where appropriate, value is assigned to customer relationships. Origination cost estimates include the costs to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the in-place leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Additionally, the Company estimates carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods including real estate taxes, other operating expenses and lost rentals at contractual rates. The Company depreciates the amounts allocated to building and improvements over 40 years. The amounts allocated to the intangible relating to in-place leases, which are included in deferred financing and leasing costs or in other liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets, are amortized over the remaining term of the related leases. In the event that a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of the intangible is written off.
The Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually in November and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating the carrying value is impaired. The Company performs its analysis for potential impairment of goodwill in accordance with SFAS 142, which requires that a two-step impairment test be performed on goodwill. In the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the fair value exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired, and no further testing is required. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then a second step must be performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the goodwill and compare it to the carrying value of the goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value then an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference. No impairment losses were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2008 or 2007.
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company analyzes its investments in joint ventures under FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” to determine if the joint venture is considered a variable interest entity and would require consolidation. To the extent that the Company’s joint ventures do not qualify as variable interest entities, it

completes a further assessment under the guidelines of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 04-5, “Determining Whether a General partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights” (“EITF 04-5”) to determine if the venture should be consolidated. The Company does not have any interests in variable interest entities. The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting as the company exercises significant influence, but does not control these entities. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions.
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the estimated fair value of the investment. The Company’s estimates of fair value for each investment are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized.
Results of Operations
The following discussion is based on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. It compares the results of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2008 with the results of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2007, and the results of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2007 with the results of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2006. As a result of the varying level of development, acquisition and disposition activities by the Company in 2008, 2007 and 2006, the overall operating results of the Company during such periods are not directly comparable. However, certain data, including the Same Store (as defined below) results, do lend themselves to direct comparison.
This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report.
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2008 to Year Ended December 31, 2007
Overview
The Company’s average gross investment in operating real estate owned for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased to $5,084.3 million from $4,553.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This increase in operating real estate owned resulted in increases in rental revenue, operating expense reimbursement, rental property operating expenses, real estate taxes and depreciation and amortization expense.
Total operating revenue increased to $748.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $686.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This $61.7 million increase was primarily due to the increase in investment in operating real estate and the increase in operating revenue from the Same Store group of properties, discussed below. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in “Termination Fees,” which totaled $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Termination Fees are fees that the Company agrees to accept in consideration for permitting certain tenants to terminate their leases prior to the contractual expiration date. Termination Fees are included in rental revenue.

(1)   The increase for the year ended December 31, 2008 versus the year ended December 31, 2007 was primarily due to an increase in average gross investment in operating real estate and an increase in rental rates. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in occupancy during 2008.
 
(2)   The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2008 versus the year ended December 31, 2007 was primarily due to a decrease in occupancy. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in average gross investment in operating real estate and an increase in rental rates during 2008.
 
(3)   The increase for the year ended December 31, 2008 versus the year ended December 31, 2007 was primarily due to an increase in average gross investment in operating real estate, an increase in rental rates and an increase in occupancy during 2008 compared to 2007.
 
(4)   The increase for the year ended December 31, 2008 versus the year ended December 31, 2007 was primarily due to the effect of Comcast Center operation during the relevant periods. Comcast Center was a wholly owned 1.25 million square foot development property which came into service incrementally from the third quarter of 2007 through the first quarter of 2008.
 
(5)   The increase for the year ended December 31, 2008 versus the year ended December 31, 2007 was primarily due to an increase in average gross investment in operating real estate. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in occupancy, a decrease in the foreign exchange rate, and a decrease in rental rates during 2008.
 
(6)   See a reconciliation of property level operating income to net income in the Same Store comparison below.
Same Store
Property level operating income, exclusive of Termination Fees, for the Same Store properties decreased to $438.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $440.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, on a straight line basis (which recognizes rental revenue evenly over the life of the lease), and decreased to $433.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $433.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 on a cash basis. These decreases of 0.6% and 0.2%, respectively, are primarily due to a decrease in occupancy.
Management generally considers the performance of the Same Store properties to be a useful financial performance measure because the results are directly comparable from period to period. Management further believes that the performance comparison should exclude Termination Fees since they are more event specific and are not representative of ordinary performance results. In addition, Same Store property level operating income exclusive of Termination Fees is considered by management to be a more reliable indicator of the portfolio’s baseline performance. The Same Store properties consist of the 590 properties totaling approximately 53.4 million square feet owned on January 1, 2007 and excluding properties sold through December 31, 2008.
Set forth below is a schedule comparing the property level operating income, on a straight line basis and on a cash basis, for the Same Store properties for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Same Store property level income is a non-GAAP measure and does not represent income before property dispositions, income taxes, minority interest and equity in (loss) earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures because it does not reflect the consolidated operations of the Company. Investors should review Same Store results, along with Funds from operations (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section), GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities when considering the Company’s operating performance. Also, set forth below is a reconciliation of Same Store property level operating income to net income (in thousands).

General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were relatively unchanged with an expense of $54.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $54.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Minor increases in compensation expense were offset by minor decreases in expenses for marketing and consulting services.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased to $173.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $155.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to the increase in average gross investment in operating real estate during the respective periods and particularly the increased investment in tenant improvement costs, which are depreciated over a shorter period than buildings.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $155.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $127.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This increase was related to an increase in the average debt outstanding, which was $2,833.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $2,677.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The effect of the increase in the average debt outstanding was partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate to 6.1% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from 6.5% for the year ended December 31, 2007. Also contributing to the increase in interest expense was the decrease in interest that was capitalized due to the decrease in development activity.
Interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $2.2 million and $7.0 million, respectively. This decrease was due to the decrease in the level of dispositions in 2008 compared to 2007.

Other
Gain on property dispositions increased to $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to recognition of gain on the sale of Comcast Center into a joint venture in which the Company retains an interest (see Note 4 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements).
During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company purchased $23.4 million principal amount of its August 2010 Senior Notes. These notes were purchased at a $2.5 million discount. The discount is included in net income as a loan extinguishment gain.
Income from discontinued operations decreased to $25.0 million from $41.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease is due to lower operating income and the decrease in gains recognized on sales which were $23.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $33.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s net income decreased to $151.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $164.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2007 to Year Ended December 31, 2006
Overview
The Company’s average gross investment in operating real estate owned for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased to $4,553.0 million from $3,830.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase in operating real estate resulted in increases in rental revenue, operating expense reimbursement, rental property operating expenses, real estate taxes and depreciation and amortization expense.
Total operating revenue increased to $686.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $607.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This $79.2 million increase was primarily due to the increase in investment in operating real estate and the increase in operating revenue from the Prior Year Same Store group of properties, discussed below. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Termination Fees, which totaled $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Termination Fees are included in rental revenue.

Same Store
Property level operating income, exclusive of Termination Fees, for the “Prior Year Same Store” (as defined below) properties increased to $408.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $399.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, on a straight line basis and increased to $406.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $394.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 on a cash basis. These increases of 2.3% and 3.1%, respectively, were primarily due to an increase in occupancy and an increase in rental rates.
Management generally considers the performance of the Prior Year Same Store properties to be a useful financial performance measure because the results are directly comparable from period to period. Management further believes that the performance comparison should exclude Termination Fees since they are more event specific and are not representative of ordinary performance results. In addition, Prior Year Same Store property level operating income exclusive of Termination Fees is considered by management to be a more reliable indicator of the portfolio’s baseline performance. The Prior Year Same Store properties consist of the 561 properties totaling approximately 50.2 million square feet owned on January 1, 2006 and excluding properties sold through December 31 2007.
Set forth below is a schedule comparing the property level operating income, on a straight line basis and on a cash basis, for the Prior Year Same Store properties for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Prior Year Same Store property level income is a non-GAAP measure and does not represent income before property dispositions, income taxes, minority interest, and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures because it does not reflect the consolidated operations of the Company. Investors should review Prior Year Same Store results, along with Funds from operations (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section), GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities when considering the Company’s operating performance.

General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased to $54.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $46.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase was primarily due to increases in salaries and increases in personnel consistent with the increase in the size of the Company. The increase in general and administrative expenses was also due to the expensing of costs relating to the acquisition of Republic and an increase in cancelled project costs.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased to $155.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $132.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to the increase in gross investment in operating real estate during the respective periods and particularly the increased investment in tenant improvement costs, which are depreciated over a relatively shorter period than buildings.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $127.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $109.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase was related to an increase in the average debt outstanding, which was $2,677.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $2,263.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The effect of the increase in the average debt outstanding was partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest costs and a decrease in the weighted average interest rate to 6.5% for the year ended December 31, 2007 from 6.6% for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $7.0 million and $14.8 million, respectively. This decrease was due to the decrease in the level of dispositions in 2007 compared to 2006.

Other
Gain on property dispositions decreased to $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $17.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease was due to a gain on sale of properties to an unconsolidated joint venture during the year ended December 31, 2006. There was no similar transaction in 2007.
Income from discontinued operations decreased to $41.1 million from $126.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease is due to lower operating income and the decrease in gains recognized on sales which were $33.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $112.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s net income decreased to $164.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $266.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
The uncertainty in the global credit markets has negatively affected the unsecured debt markets. As a result, the Company will be more reliant on the secured debt market as a source of financing in 2009. The Company anticipates that it will need approximately $150 million during 2009 to complete its December 31, 2008 development pipeline and to fund 2009 development starts. The Company’s 2009 debt maturities total approximately $320 million. The Company believes that proceeds from asset sales and from secured debt financing will provide it with sufficient funds to satisfy these obligations. The Company expects to realize approximately $125 million to $200 million in proceeds from asset sales in 2009 and it currently has commitments for approximately $300 million in secured debt financings that it expects will fund in 2009. From January 1, 2009 through February 23, 2009, the Company has sold six Properties in Operation for $34.8 million and it has closed on $193.2 million in secured debt financings.
Activity
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $55.5 million, including $39.7 million in restricted cash.
Net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased to $268.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $346.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This $78.3 million decrease was primarily due to a change in restricted cash and the timing of payments on account. The change in restricted cash is due to the release of restricted funds in the United Kingdom for the payment of infrastructure costs. Net cash flow provided by operating activities is the primary source of liquidity to fund distributions to shareholders and for the recurring capital expenditures and leasing transaction costs for the Company’s Wholly Owned Properties in Operation.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $52.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to net cash used of $758.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This $811.5 million change primarily resulted from a decrease in investment in unconsolidated joint ventures in 2008 compared to an increase in 2007 due to the investment in the Blythe Valley joint venture. There was also a decrease in investment in properties, development in progress and land held for development.
Net cash used in financing activities was $333.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to net cash provided of $396.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This $730.1 million change was primarily due to the decreased net borrowings on unsecured debt including unsecured notes and the credit facility during the year ended December 31, 2008 due to decreased investment activity during 2008. Net cash provided by or used in financing activities includes proceeds from the issuance of equity and debt, net of debt repayments and equity repurchases and shareholder distributions. Cash provided by financing activities is a source of capital utilized by the Company to fund investment activities.
The Company funds its development and acquisitions with long-term capital sources and proceeds from the disposition of properties. For the year ended December 31, 2008, a significant portion of these activities were funded through a $600 million Credit Facility (the “$600 million Credit Facility”). The interest rate on borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility fluctuates based upon ratings from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group (“S&P”) and Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”). The current ratings for the Company’s senior unsecured debt are Baa2, BBB and BBB+ from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively. At these ratings, the interest rate for borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility is 65 basis points over LIBOR. The $600 million Credit

Facility contains an accordion feature whereby the Company may borrow an additional $200 million. The Credit Facility expires in January 2010, and has a one-year extension option. The fee for the one-year extension is $900,000.
Additionally, the Company has entered into an agreement to fund its planned improvements for the Kings Hill Phase 2 land development project. At December 31, 2008, the Company had drawn £1.8 million ($2.7 million) from a £7.0 million ($10.2 million) revolving credit facility. The facility expires on November 22, 2011.
The Company uses debt financing to lower its overall cost of capital in an attempt to increase the return to shareholders. The Company staggers its debt maturities and maintains debt levels it considers to be prudent. In determining its debt levels, the Company considers various financial measures including the debt to gross assets ratio and the fixed charge coverage ratio. As of December 31, 2008 the Company’s debt to gross assets ratio was 41.8%, and for the year ended December 31, 2008, the fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.4x. Debt to gross assets equals total long-term debt, borrowings under the Credit Facility divided by total assets plus accumulated depreciation. The fixed charge coverage ratio equals income from continuing operations before property dispositions and minority interest, including operating activity from discontinued operations, plus interest expense and depreciation and amortization, divided by interest expense, including capitalized interest, plus distributions on preferred units.
As of December 31, 2008, $198.6 million in mortgage loans and $2,131.6 million in unsecured notes were outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 6.6%. The interest rates on $2,327.5 million of mortgage loans and unsecured notes are fixed and range from 5.0% to 8.8%. The weighted average remaining term for these mortgage loans and unsecured notes is 4.9 years.

General
The Company believes that its existing sources of capital will provide sufficient funds to finance its continued development and acquisition activities. The Company’s existing sources of capital include the public debt and equity markets, proceeds from secured financing of properties, proceeds from property dispositions, equity capital from joint venture partners and net cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, the Company expects to incur variable rate debt, including borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility, from time to time.
In June 2007, the Company redeemed for $23.7 million its outstanding 7.63% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units. The redemption resulted in a $0.7 million write-off of Series D issuance costs.
In August 2007, the Company raised $100 million through the placement of 7.40% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units. The net proceeds from this offering were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. Amounts repaid under the $600 million Credit Facility

were subsequently drawn to pay a portion of the cash merger consideration for the purchase of Republic Property Trust.
In August and September 2007, the Company satisfied a $100 million 7.25% senior unsecured note and issued a $300 million 6.625% senior unsecured note due 2017. The net proceeds of the $300 million offering were $296.2 million and were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. Amounts repaid under the $600 million Credit Facility were subsequently drawn to pay a portion of the cash merger consideration for the purchase of Republic Property Trust.
On March 31, 2008, a $324 million 6.15% secured ten-year financing for Comcast Center was funded. The proceeds from this financing were used to pay down outstanding borrowings on the $600 million Credit Facility.
In October 2008, the Company sold 4,750,000 Common Shares. The net proceeds of the offering of $149.5 million were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.
In December 2008, the Company purchased $23.4 million of its 8.5% August 2010 senior unsecured notes. This purchase resulted in a $2.5 million loan extinguishment gain.
In December 2008, the Company commenced the sale of up to $150.0 million of Common Shares pursuant to a continuous offering program. Through December 31, 2008, the Company sold 495,000 Common Shares as part of this program. From January 1, 2009 through February 23, 2009, the Company sold an additional 2.3 million Common Shares through this program. The net proceeds from the offering of $10.8 million through December 31, 2008 and of $47.4 million from January 1, 2009 through February 23, 2009 were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. Through February 23, 2009, the Company paid Citigroup Global Markets Inc., its agent under this program, an aggregate of $1.2 million in fees with respect to the Common Shares sold through this program.
In November 2008, the quarterly Common Share dividend was decreased to $0.475 per share from $0.625 per share. The Company’s annual Common Share dividend paid was $2.50 per share, $2.485 per share, and $2.465 per share in 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. In 2008, the Company’s dividend payout ratio was approximately 78.1% of Funds from operations (as defined below).
The Company has an effective S-3 shelf registration statement on file with the SEC pursuant to which the Trust and the Operating Partnership may issue an unlimited amount of equity securities and debt securities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures totaling $266.6 million.
Calculation of Funds from Operations
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) has issued a standard definition for Funds from operations (as defined below). The SEC has agreed to the disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure on a per share basis in its Release No. 34-47226, Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The Company believes that the calculation of Funds from operations is helpful to investors and management as it is a measure of the Company’s operating performance that excludes depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions. As a result, year over year comparison of Funds from operations reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, management believes that Funds from operations provides useful information to the investment community about the Company’s financial performance when compared to other REITs since Funds from operations is generally recognized as the standard for reporting the operating performance of a REIT. Funds from operations available to common shareholders is defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Funds from operations available to common shareholders does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate that cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Funds from operations available to common shareholders also does not represent cash flows generated from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP.

Inflation
Inflation has remained relatively low in recent years, and as a result, it has not had a significant impact on the Company during this period. Through the early part of 2008, there was a dramatic increase in the price of oil and other commodities; such an increase, if it were to recommence, could result in an increase in inflation. However, weakness in the national and global economies has resulted in Federal Reserve Board action designed to discourage increases in interest rates. To the extent an increase in inflation would result in

increased operating costs, such as insurance, real estate taxes and utilities, substantially all of the tenants’ leases require the tenants to absorb these costs as part of their rental obligations. In addition, inflation also may have the effect of increasing market rental rates.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following discussion about the Company’s risk management includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest, dividends and distributions payable and other liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, which is based on estimates by management and on rates quoted on December 31, 2008 for comparable loans, is less than the aggregate carrying value by approximately $713.1 million at December 31, 2008.
The Company’s primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates. The Company is exposed to market risk related to its $600 million Credit Facility and certain other indebtedness as discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources.” The interest on the $600 million Credit Facility and certain other indebtedness is subject to fluctuations in the market.
The Company also uses long-term and medium-term debt as a source of capital. These debt instruments are typically issued at fixed interest rates. When these debt instruments mature, the Company typically refinances such debt at then-existing market interest rates which may be more or less than the interest rates on the maturing debt. In addition, the Company may attempt to reduce interest rate risk associated with a forecasted issuance of new debt. In order to reduce interest rate risk associated with these transactions, the Company occasionally enters into interest rate protection agreements.
If the interest rates for variable rate debt were 100 basis points higher or lower during 2008, the Company’s interest expense would have increased or decreased by $3.6 million. If the interest rate for the fixed rate debt maturing in 2009 was 100 basis points higher or lower than its current rate of 6.9%, the Company’s interest expense would have increased or decreased by $170,000.
The sensitivity analysis above assumes no changes in the Company’s financial structure. It also does not consider future fluctuations in interest rates or the specific actions that might be taken by management to mitigate the impact of such fluctuations.
The Company is also exposed to currency risk on its net investment in the United Kingdom. The Company does not believe that this currency risk exposure is material to its financial statements.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The dual presentation of financial statements for the Company is required by the SEC. The Company is comprised of two SEC registrants: Liberty Property Trust and Liberty Property Limited Partnership. Accordingly, financial statements are required for each registrant. The financial information contained within the two sets of financial statements is essentially the same.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
To the Shareholders of Liberty Property Trust:
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15 (f) and 15d – 15(f). The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Trustees regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commissions (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment we believe that, as of December 31, 2008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, which is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Liberty Property Trust
We have audited Liberty Property Trust’s (the “Trust”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Trust’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Liberty Property Trust maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 of Liberty Property Trust and our report dated February 25, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Liberty Property Trust
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Property Trust (the “Trust”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Liberty Property Trust at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Liberty Property Trust’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 25, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF LIBERTY PROPERTY TRUST
1. ORGANIZATION
Liberty Property Trust (the “Trust”) is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (a “REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust’s assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by Liberty Property Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, together with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”). The Trust is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owning 96.0% of the common equity of the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2008. The Company provides leasing, property management, development, acquisition, and other tenant-related services for a portfolio of industrial and office properties which are located principally within the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern United States and the United Kingdom.
All square footage amounts are unaudited.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Trust, the Operating Partnership and wholly owned subsidiaries and those subsidiaries in which the Company owns a majority voting interest with the ability to control operations of the subsidiaries and where no approval, veto or other important rights have been granted to the minority shareholders. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform to current-year presentation.
Real Estate and Depreciation
The properties are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
     
Building and improvements
  40 years (blended)
Capital improvements
  15 – 20 years
Equipment
  5 – 10 years
Tenant improvements
  Term of the related lease
Expenditures directly related to acquisition or improvement of real estate, including interest and other costs capitalized during development, are included in net real estate and are stated at cost. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, development-related salaries and other costs incurred during the period of development. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” the Company allocates the purchase price of real estate acquired to land, building and improvements and intangibles based on the relative fair value of each component. The value ascribed to in-place leases is based on the rental rates for the existing leases compared to market rent for leases of similar terms and present valuing the difference based on market interest rates. Origination values are also assigned to in-place leases, and, where appropriate, value is assigned to customer relationships. The Company depreciates the amounts allocated to building and improvements over 40 years and the amounts allocated to intangibles relating to in-place leases, which are included in deferred financing and leasing costs and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, over the remaining term of the related leases.
Once a property is designated as held for sale, no further depreciation expense is recorded. Operations for properties identified as held for sale and/or sold where no continuing involvement exists are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Table of Contents

The Company evaluates its real estate investments upon occurrence of a significant adverse change in its operations to assess whether any impairment indicators are present that affect the recovery of the recorded value. If any real estate investment is considered impaired, a loss is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value.
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence, but does not control these entities. Under the equity method of accounting, the net equity investment of the Company is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the Company’s share of net income from the joint ventures is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the estimated fair value of the investment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are classified as cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes tenant security deposits and escrow funds that the Company maintains pursuant to certain mortgage loans. Restricted cash also includes the undistributed proceeds from the sale of residential land in Kent County, United Kingdom.
Accounts Receivable/Deferred Rent Receivable
The Company’s accounts receivable are comprised of rents and charges for property operating costs due from tenants. The Company periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine if accounts receivable balances are collectible. Based on this review, accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company considers tenant credit quality and payment history and general economic conditions in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts. If the accounts receivable balance is subsequently deemed uncollectible, the receivable and allowance for doubtful account balance is written off.
The Company’s deferred rent receivable represents the cumulative difference between rent revenue recognized on a straight line basis and contractual payments due under the terms of tenant leases.
The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $8.5 million and $6.0 million, respectively.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the amounts paid in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired from business acquisitions accounted for under SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, “Accounting for Goodwill and Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”) goodwill is not amortized to expense but rather is analyzed for impairment. In conjunction with the purchase of Republic, goodwill of $15.3 million was recorded. The goodwill is assigned to the Northern Virginia/Washington, D.C. operation (“reporting unit”) which is part of the Philadelphia reportable segment and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually in November and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating the carrying value may be impaired. The Company performs its analysis for potential impairment of goodwill in accordance with SFAS 142, which requires that a two-step impairment test be performed on goodwill. In the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the fair value exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired, and no further testing is required. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then a second step must be performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the goodwill and compare it to the carrying value of the goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value then an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference. No impairment losses were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2008 or 2007.

Revenues
The Company earns rental income under operating leases with tenants. Rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the applicable lease term. Operating expense reimbursements consisting of amounts due from tenants for real estate taxes, utilities and other recoverable costs are recognized as revenue in the period in which the corresponding expenses are incurred.
Termination fees (included in rental revenue) are fees that the Company has agreed to accept in consideration for permitting certain tenants to terminate their lease prior to the contractual expiration date. The Company recognizes termination fees in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 when the following conditions are met:
  a)   the termination agreement is executed,
 
  b)   the termination fee is determinable,
 
  c)   all landlord services pursuant to the terminated lease have been rendered, and
 
  d)   collectability of the termination fee is assured.
Deferred Financing and Leasing Costs
Costs incurred in connection with financing or leasing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related loan or lease. Deferred financing cost amortization is reported as interest expense. Intangible assets related to acquired in-place leases are amortized over the terms of the related leases.
Costs Incurred for Preferred Unit Issuance
Costs incurred in connection with the Company’s preferred unit issuances are reflected as a reduction of minority interest.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest, dividends and distributions payable and other liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, which is based on estimates by management and on rates quoted on December 31, 2008 for comparable loans, is less than the aggregate carrying value by approximately $713.1 million at December 31, 2008.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a result, the Company generally is not subject to federal income taxation at the corporate level to the extent it distributes annually at least 100% of its REIT taxable income, as defined in the Code, to its shareholders and satisfies certain other organizational and operational requirements. The Company has met these requirements and, accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates (including any alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local income and property taxes, and to federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income.
Several of the Company’s subsidiaries are taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”) and are subject to federal income taxes.  In general, a TRS may perform additional services for tenants and generally may engage in real estate or non-real estate business that are not permitted REIT activities.  The Company is also taxed in certain states, the United Kingdom, and Luxembourg.  Accordingly, the Company has recognized federal, state and foreign income taxes in accordance with US GAAP, as applicable. 
In July 2006 the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, no uncertain tax positions were identified which would result in the recording of a liability for unrecognized tax benefits, and correspondingly no benefit recognition was identified that would affect the effective tax rate. Additionally, there are no possibly significant unrecognized tax benefits which are reasonably expected to occur within the next 12 months. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expense. There are no interest and penalties deducted in the current period and no interest and penalties accrued at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

Table of Contents

Certain of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries have net operating loss carryforwards available of approximately $19.3 million.  These carryforwards begin to expire in 2018.  The Company has considered estimated future taxable income and have determined that a valuation allowance for the full carrying value of net operating loss carryforwards is appropriate.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, certain state and local jurisdictions, the United Kingdom and Luxembourg.  With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local, or United Kingdom and Luxembourg examinations by tax authorities for years before 2005.
The Federal tax cost basis of the real estate at December 31, 2008 was $5.5 billion and at December 31, 2007 was $5.7 billion.
Share Based Compensation
At December 31, 2008, the Company had share-based employee compensation plans as fully described in Note 10. Effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), using the modified prospective application method. In accordance with SAFS No.123(R), share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employees’ requisite service period. In January 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” prospectively for all employee option awards granted, modified, or settled after January 1, 2003. Prior to 2003, the Company accounted for its compensation plan under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations.
Under the modified prospective application method, results for prior periods have not been restated to reflect the effects of implementing SFAS No. 123(R).
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company’s United Kingdom operations is pounds sterling. The Company translates the financial statements for the United Kingdom operations into US dollars. Gains and losses resulting from this translation do not impact the results of operations and are included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income consists solely of the foreign currency translation adjustments described. Other comprehensive (loss) income was ($26.8) million, $1.1 million and $10.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Upon sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of a foreign investment, the gain or loss on the sale will include the cumulative translation adjustments that have been previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
SFAS No. 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for consistently measuring fair value under US GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The hierarchy is measured in three levels based on the reliability of inputs:
Level 1- Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities in a market that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2- Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, through corroboration with observable market data.
Level 3- Valuations derived from other valuation methodologies, including pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections that are not directly observable in the market and significant professional judgment in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

SFAS No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
SFAS No. 141(R)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Applying the Acquisition Method” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). This statement changes the accounting for acquisitions specifically eliminating the step acquisition model, changing the recognition of contingent consideration from being recognized when it is probable to being recognized at the time of acquisition, disallowing the capitalization of transaction costs and delays when restructurings related to acquisitions can be recognized. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will impact the accounting for acquisitions made beginning January 1, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
SFAS No. 160
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Accounting for Noncontrolling Interests” (“SFAS No. 160”). Under this statement, noncontrolling interests are considered equity and thus the Company’s practice of reporting minority interests in the mezzanine section of the balance sheet will be eliminated. Also, under SFAS No. 160, net income will encompass the total income of all consolidated subsidiaries and there will be separate disclosure on the face of the statement of operations of the attribution of that income between controlling and noncontrolling interests. Finally, increases and decreases in noncontrolling interests will be treated as equity transactions.  The standard is effective on January 1, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
FSP EITF 03-6-1
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.”  The FSP clarifies that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.  FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

(1)   Differences between the Company’s net investment in unconsolidated joint ventures and its underlying equity in the net assets of the venture is primarily a result of the deferral of gains associated with the sales of properties to joint ventures in which the Company retains an ownership interest and loans made to the joint ventures by the Company. Deferred gains are amortized to equity in earnings (loss) of joint ventures over the average estimated useful lives of the assets sold.

6. INDEBTEDNESS
Indebtedness consists of mortgage loans, unsecured notes, and borrowings under the credit facility. The weighted average interest rates for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, were 6.1%, 6.5% and 6.6%, respectively. Interest costs during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 in the amount of $20.0 million, $45.7 million and $30.8 million, respectively, were capitalized. Cash paid for interest for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, was $177.0 million, $172.9 million and $150.2 million, respectively.
During the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company purchased $23.4 million of its 8.5% senior unsecured notes. These notes were purchased at a $2.5 million discount. The discount is included in net income as a loan extinguishment gain.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company satisfied a $100 million 7.25% senior unsecured note and issued a $300 million 6.625% senior unsecured note due October 1, 2017. The Company used the net proceeds to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes. Amounts repaid under the credit facility were subsequently drawn to pay a portion of the cash merger consideration for the purchase of Republic Property Trust.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company satisfied a $100 million 6.95% medium term note and issued a $300 million 5.50% senior unsecured note due December 15, 2016. The Company used the net proceeds to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
The Company is subject to financial covenants contained in some of the debt agreements, the most restrictive of which are detailed below under the heading “Credit Facility.” As of December 31, 2008 the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.
Mortgage Loans, Unsecured Notes
Mortgage loans with maturities ranging from 2009 to 2017 are collateralized by and in some instances cross-collateralized by properties with a net book value of $309.4 million.
The interest rates on $2,327.5 million of mortgage loans and unsecured notes are fixed and range from 5.0% to 8.8%. The weighted average remaining term for the mortgage loans and unsecured notes is 4.9 years.
Credit Facility
$600 Million Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has a four-year, $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “$600 million Credit Facility”). Based on the Company’s present ratings, borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility are priced at LIBOR plus 65 basis points. The $600 million Credit Facility contains a competitive bid option, whereby participating lenders bid on the interest rate to be charged. This feature is available for up to 50% of the amount of the facility. The interest rate on the $260.0 million of borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2008 was 1.56%. The current ratings for the Company’s senior unsecured debt are Baa2, BBB, and BBB+ from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively. The $600 million Credit Facility has an accordion feature for an additional $200 million. There is also a 15 basis point annual facility fee on the current borrowing capacity. The $600 million Credit Facility expires on January 16, 2010 and may be extended for a one-year period. The fee to extend the $600 million Credit Facility for one year is $900,000. The $600 million Credit Facility contains financial covenants, certain of which are set forth below:
    total debt to total assets may not exceed 0.60:1;
 
    earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to fixed charges may not be less than 1.50:1;
 
    unsecured debt to unencumbered asset value must equal or be less than 60%; and
 
    unencumbered net operating income to unsecured interest expense must equal or exceed 200%.

The Company’s tax return for the year ended December 31, 2008 has not been filed. The taxability information presented for the 2008 distributions is based upon the best available data. The Company’s prior federal income tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities. Because the application of tax laws and regulations is susceptible to varying interpretations, the taxability of distributions could be changed at a later date upon final determination by taxing authorities.
Common Shares Held in Treasury
The Company’s Board of Trustees authorized a share repurchase plan under which the Company may purchase up to $100 million of the Company’s Common Shares and preferred shares (as defined below).
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company purchased 1,190,809 Common Shares for $50.6 million as part of the share repurchase plan. The Company purchased no Common Shares under the share repurchase plan during 2008.
Minority Interest
Minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements represents the interests of the common and preferred units in Liberty Property Limited Partnership not held by the Trust. Minority interest is adjusted at each period end to reflect the ownership percentage of the common and preferred unitholders at that time. A minority interest reclassification occurs between minority interest and shareholders’ equity each period there is a transaction involving ownership interests in Liberty Property Limited Partnership. In addition, minority interest includes third-party ownership interests in consolidated joint venture investments. During 2006, 684,432 common units were issued in connection with an acquisition. No common units were issued in connection with acquisitions during 2008 or 2007. The common units outstanding as of December 31, 2008 have the same economic characteristics as Common

Shareholder Rights Plan
In December 1997, the Board of Trustees of the Company adopted a shareholder rights plan (the “Shareholder Rights Plan”). Under the Shareholder Rights Plan, one Right (as defined in the Shareholder Rights Plan) was attached to each outstanding common share at the close of business on December 31, 1997. In addition, a Right was attached to each share of common stock issued after that date. Each Right entitled the registered holder to purchase from the Company, under certain conditions, a unit (a “Rights Plan Unit”) consisting of one one-thousandth of a share of a Series A Junior Participating Preferred Share, $0.0001 par value, (the “Junior Preferred Stock”), of the Company, for $100 per Rights Plan Unit, subject to adjustment. The Rights became exercisable only if a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an “Acquiring Person”) acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of Common Shares or other voting securities (“Voting Stock”) that had 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock, or if an Acquiring Person commenced to make a tender offer or exchange offer to acquire beneficial ownership of Voting Stock that had 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock. The Rights were redeemable by the Company at a price of $0.0001 per Right. All Rights expired on December 31, 2007.

Table of Contents

While the Company did not extend or renew the plan, it is not prohibited from adopting, without shareholder approval, a shareholder rights plan that may discourage any potential acquirer from acquiring more than a specified percentage of our outstanding Common Shares since, upon this type of acquisition without approval of our board of trustees, all other common shareholders would have the right to purchase a specified amount of Common Shares at a substantial discount from market price.
Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan
The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan under which holders of Common Shares may elect to automatically reinvest their distributions in additional Common Shares and may make optional cash payments for additional Common Shares. The Company may issue additional Common Shares or repurchase Common Shares in the open market for purposes of financing its obligations under the Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan. During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, 1,328,376, 1,366,066, and 1,297,867 Common Shares, respectively, were issued through the Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan. The Company used the proceeds to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company maintains a 401(k) plan for the benefit of its full-time employees. The Company matches the employees’ contributions up to 3% of the employees’ salary and may also make annual discretionary contributions. Total 401(k) expense recognized by the Company was $1.4 million, $912,000 and $940,000 for the years ended 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
10. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION
2008 Plan
In March 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) adopted a 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) which is applicable to the Company’s executive officers. Pursuant to the 2008 Plan grants of stock options and restricted stock units were made.
Options
The Company has authorized the grant of options under the share-based employee compensation plan (the “Plan”) and the 2008 Plan to executive officers, other key employees, non-employee trustees and consultants of up to 12.8 million Common Shares of the Company. All options granted have 10-year terms and most options vest and are expensed over a three-year period, with options to purchase up to 20% of the shares exercisable after the first anniversary, up to 50% after the second anniversary and 100% after the third anniversary of the date of grant.
Share based compensation cost related to options for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $1.0 million, $904,000 and $790,000, respectively.
The fair value of share option awards is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The following weighted-average assumptions were utilized in calculating the fair value of options granted during the periods indicated:
                         
    Year Ended December 31,
    2008   2007   2006
Risk-free interest rate
    2.7 %     4.6 %     4.8 %
Dividend yield

Exercisable at December 31, 2008
    1,875     $ 33.21  
The weighted average fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $2.64, $5.60 and $5.06, respectively. Exercise prices for options outstanding as of December 31, 2008 ranged from $21.88 to $49.74. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2008 was 5.6 years and 3.8 years, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the total intrinsic value of share options exercised (the difference between the market price at exercise and the price paid by the individual to exercise the option) was $2.6 million, $7.7 million and $23.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, certain of the options outstanding and exercisable had an exercise price higher than the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares and are considered to have no intrinsic value. As of December 31, 2008, 208,000 options outstanding and exercisable had an exercise price lower than the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares. The aggregate intrinsic value of these options was $43,000. The total cash received from the exercise of options for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $6.5 million, $8.7 million and $29.4 million, respectively. The Company has historically issued new shares to satisfy share option exercises.
As of December 31, 2008, there was $2.2 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested options granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.
Long Term Incentive Shares (“LTI”)
Restricted LTI share grants made under the Plan are valued at the grant date fair value, which is the market price of the underlying Common Shares, and vest ratably over a five-year period beginning with the first anniversary of the grant.
Restricted stock unit grants made pursuant to the 2008 Plan consist of an obligation to pay the executive officers Common Shares at the end of the third year after the date of grant. The number of restricted stock units issued will be determined by using specific performance measures.
Share-based compensation cost related to restricted LTI share grants for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $4.4 million, $3.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
The following table shows a summary of the Company’s restricted LTI share activity for the year ended December 31, 2008:

million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested shares granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. The total fair value of restricted shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $3.5 million, $2.4 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
Bonus Shares
The Plan provides that employees of the Company may elect to receive bonuses or commissions in the form of Common Shares in lieu of cash (“Bonus Shares”). By making such election, the employee receives shares equal to 120% of the cash value of the bonus or commission, less applicable withholding tax. Bonus Shares issued for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were 83,015, 64,755 and 39,207, respectively. Share-based compensation cost related to Bonus Shares for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $2.6 million, $2.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
Profit Sharing Plan
The Plan provides that employees of the Company, below the officer level, may receive up to 5% of base pay in the form of Common Shares depending on Company performance. Shares issued in conjunction with the profit sharing plan for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were 15,517, 3,457 and 3,072 shares, respectively.
An additional 1,751,912, 2,738,176 and 3,063,169 Common Shares were reserved for issuance for future grants under the Share Incentive Plan at December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.
Employee Share Purchase Plan
The Company registered 750,000 Common Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with an employee share purchase plan (“ESPP”). The ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company, in amounts up to 10% of the employee’s salary, at a 15% discount to fair market value. There were 17,618, 13,414 and 10,491 shares issued, in accordance with the ESPP, during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Substantially all of the Properties and land were subject to Phase I Environmental Assessments and when appropriate Phase II Environmental Assessments (collectively, the “Environmental Assessments”) obtained in contemplation of their acquisition by the Company. The Environmental Assessments consisted of, among other activities, a visual inspection of each Property and its neighborhood and a check of pertinent public records. The Environmental Assessments did not reveal, nor is the Company aware of, any non-compliance with environmental laws, environmental liability or other environmental claim that the Company believes would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company is obligated to make additional capital contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures of $3.8 million. The Company has not guaranteed any of the debt of the unconsolidated joint ventures.
The Company has letter of credit obligations of $2.0 million related to development requirements. It is remote that there will be a draw upon these letter of credit obligations.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions. The combined account balances at each institution typically exceed FDIC insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company believes the risk is not significant.
Litigation
The Company has been substituted for Republic as a party to certain litigation as a result of the Company’s acquisition of Republic on October 4, 2007. The litigation arises out of disputes between Republic and certain parties, two of whom were members of Republic’s Board of Trustees and “founders” of Republic. The disputes include claims arising from the termination of an officer of Republic (damages sought $1.8 million), and an attempt by Republic to acquire a certain office property from an entity controlled by the aforementioned related parties pursuant to an option agreement entered into at the time of Republic’s formation (damages sought $85.0 million compensatory and $85.0 million punitive). The Company believes that these claims are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously against this litigation.

Table of Contents

In accordance with SFAS No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies,” the Company will record a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, the Company believes that such legal actions will not have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates its portfolio of properties primarily throughout the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern United States. Additionally, the Company owns certain assets in the United Kingdom. The Company reviews the performance of the portfolio on a geographical basis. As such, the following regions are considered the Company’s reportable segments:
     
Reportable Segments   Markets
Northeast
  Southeastern PA; Lehigh/Central PA; New Jersey
Midwest
  Minnesota; Milwaukee; Chicago
Mid-Atlantic
  Maryland; Carolinas; Richmond; Virginia Beach
South
  Jacksonville; Orlando; Boca Raton; Tampa; Texas; Arizona
Philadelphia
  Philadelphia; Northern Virginia/Washington, D.C.
United Kingdom
  County of Kent; West Midlands
The Company’s reportable segments are distinct business units which are each managed separately in order to concentrate market knowledge within a geographic area. Within these reportable segments, the Company derives its revenues from its two product types: industrial properties and office properties.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company began to report the results of the Arizona market as part of the “South” reportable segment rather than listing Arizona as its own reportable segment, as it had been presented in 2007. Also, the Company began to report the results of the Lehigh/Central PA market as part of the “Northeast” reportable segment rather than as part of the “Midwest” segment. The Company also began to report the results of certain operating properties containing 834,000 square feet in the “Philadelphia” reportable segment rather than as part of the New Jersey market in the “Northeast” reportable segment, as they had been presented in 2007. As required by SFAS No. 131 (“SFAS No. 131”) “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” consolidated financial statements issued by the Company in the future will reflect modifications to the

Table of Contents

Company’s reportable segments resulting from the change described above, including reclassification of all comparative prior period segment information.
The Company evaluates performance of the reportable segments based on property level operating income, which is calculated as rental revenue and operating expense reimbursement less rental property expenses and real estate taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those for the Company on a consolidated basis.
The operating information by segment is as follows (in thousands):

14. SFAS NO. 144, “ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS”
Discontinued Operations
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the operating results and gain/(loss) on disposition of real estate for properties sold and held for sale are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations. Prior year financial statements have been adjusted for discontinued operations. The proceeds from dispositions of operating properties with no continuing involvement were $80.0 million and $369.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Below is a summary of the results of operations of the properties disposed of through the respective disposition dates (in thousands):
                         
    Year Ended December 31,  
    2008     2007     2006  
Revenues
  $ 13,295     $ 43,330     $ 85,536  
Operating expenses
    (5,377 )     (17,375 )     (31,202 )
Interest expense
    (2,203 )     (6,957 )     (14,764 )
Depreciation and amortization
    (3,153 )     (9,671 )     (19,838 )
 
                 
 
                       
Income before property dispositions and minority interest
  $ 2,562     $ 9,327     $ 19,732  
 
                 
Six properties totaling 296,000 square feet located in the Company’s Mid-Atlantic segment are considered to be held for sale as of December 31, 2008.
Interest expense is allocated to discontinued operations as permitted under EITF Issue 87-24, "Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations,” and such interest expense has been included in computing income from discontinued operations. The allocation of interest expense to discontinued operations was based on the ratio of net assets sold (without continuing involvement) to the sum of total net assets plus consolidated debt.
Asset Impairment
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized impairment losses of $3.1 million, $0.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively. The 2008 impairment loss of $3.1 million was recognized in the fourth quarter and was related to a 49,000 square foot operating property in the Midwest segment, a 110,000 square foot operating property in Southeastern PA and a 296,000 square foot portfolio of operating properties in the Mid-Atlantic segment. The 2007 impairment loss of $0.2 million was related to various land parcels. The 2006 impairment loss of $4.2 million was primarily related to a 352,000 square foot portfolio of operating properties in the Midwest segment. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2006, respectively, $3.1 million and $4.2 million in impairment related to properties sold or held for sale were included in the caption discontinued operations in the Company’s statement of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2007, $0.2 million in impairment was included in the caption gain on property dispositions as a component of income from continuing operations. The Company determined these impairments through a comparison of the aggregate future cash flows (including quoted offer prices) to be generated by the properties to the carrying value of the properties. The Company has evaluated each of the properties and land held for development and has determined that there are no additional valuation adjustments necessary at December 31, 2008.
15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In December 2008, the Company commenced the sale of Common Shares pursuant to a continuous offering program. From January 1, 2009 through February 23, 2009, the Company sold 2.3 million common shares through this program. The net proceeds from the offering of $47.4 million were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.
In February 2009, the Company closed on mortgages totaling $193.2 million. The mortgages encumber certain of the Company’s Properties in Operation. The net proceeds from these mortgages were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
To the Partners of Liberty Property Limited Partnership:
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 (f) and 15d-15(f). The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commissions (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment we believe that, as of December 31, 2008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, which is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Partners of Liberty Property Limited Partnership
We have audited Liberty Property Limited Partnership’s (the “Operating Partnership”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control–Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Operating Partnership’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Liberty Property Limited Partnership maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, owners’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 of Liberty Property Limited Partnership and our report dated February 25, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Partners of Liberty Property Limited Partnership
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Property Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, owners’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Operating Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Liberty Property Limited Partnership at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Liberty Property Limited Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 25, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
LIBERTY PROPERTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
1. ORGANIZATION
Liberty Property Trust (the “Trust”) is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (a “REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust’s assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by its subsidiary, Liberty Property Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, together with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”). The Trust is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owning 96.0% of the common equity of the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2008. The Company provides leasing, property management, development, acquisition, and other tenant-related services for a portfolio of industrial and office properties which are located principally within the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern United States and the United Kingdom.
All square footage amounts are unaudited.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Operating Partnership and wholly owned subsidiaries and those subsidiaries in which the Company owns a majority voting interest with the ability to control operations of the subsidiaries and where no approval, veto or other important rights have been granted to the minority shareholders. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform to current-year presentation.
Real Estate and Depreciation
The properties are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives. The estimated lives are as follows:
     
Building and Improvements
  40 years (blended)
Capital improvements
  15 — 20 years
Equipment
  5 — 10 years
Tenant improvements
  Term of the related lease
Expenditures directly related to acquisition or improvement of real estate, including interest and other costs capitalized during development, are included in net real estate and are stated at cost. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, development-related salaries and other costs incurred during the period of development. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” the Company allocates the purchase price of real estate acquired to land, building and improvements and intangibles based on the relative fair value of each component. The value ascribed to in-place leases is based on the rental rates for the existing leases compared to market rent for leases of similar terms and present valuing the difference based on market interest rates. Origination values are also assigned to in-place leases, and, where appropriate, value is assigned to customer relationships. The Company depreciates the amounts allocated to building and improvements over 40 years and the amounts allocated to intangibles relating to in-place leases, which are included in deferred financing and leasing costs and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, over the remaining term of the related leases.
Once a property is designated as held for sale, no further depreciation expense is recorded. Operations for properties identified as held for sale and/or sold where no continuing involvement exists are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Table of Contents

The Company evaluates its real estate investments upon occurrence of a significant adverse change in its operations to assess whether any impairment indicators are present that affect the recovery of the recorded value. If any real estate investment is considered impaired, a loss is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value.
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence, but does not control these entities. Under the equity method of accounting, the net equity investment of the Company is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the Company’s share of net income from the joint ventures is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the estimated fair value of the investment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are classified as cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes tenant security deposits and escrow funds that the Company maintains pursuant to certain mortgage loans. Restricted cash also includes the undistributed proceeds from the sale of residential land in Kent County, United Kingdom.
Accounts Receivable/Deferred Rent Receivable
The Company’s accounts receivable are comprised of rents and charges for property operating costs due from tenants. The Company periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine if accounts receivable balances are collectible. Based on this review, accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company considers tenant credit quality and payment history and general economic conditions in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts. If the accounts receivable balance is subsequently deemed uncollectible, the receivable and allowance for doubtful account balance is written off.
The Company’s deferred rent receivable represents the cumulative difference between rent revenue recognized on a straight line basis and contractual payments due under the terms of tenant leases.
The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $8.5 million and $6.0 million, respectively.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the amounts paid in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired from business acquisitions accounted for under SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, “Accounting for Goodwill and Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”) goodwill is not amortized to expense but rather is analyzed for impairment. In conjunction with the purchase of Republic, goodwill of $15.3 million was recorded. The goodwill is assigned to the Northern Virginia/Washington, D.C. operation (“reporting unit”) which is part of the Philadelphia reportable segment and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually in November and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating the carrying value may be impaired. The Company performs its analysis for potential impairment of goodwill in accordance with SFAS 142, which requires that a two-step impairment test be performed on goodwill. In the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the fair value exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired, and no further testing is required. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then a second step must be performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the goodwill and compare it to the carrying value of the goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value then an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference. No impairment losses were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2008 or 2007.
Revenues
The Company earns rental income under operating leases with tenants. Rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the applicable lease term. Operating expense reimbursements consisting of amounts due from tenants for

91


Table of Contents

real estate taxes, utilities and other recoverable costs are recognized as revenue in the period in which the corresponding expenses are incurred.
Termination fees (included in rental revenue) are fees that the Company has agreed to accept in consideration for permitting certain tenants to terminate their lease prior to the contractual expiration date. The Company recognizes termination fees in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 when the following conditions are met:
  a)   the termination agreement is executed,
 
  b)   the termination fee is determinable,
 
  c)   all landlord services pursuant to the terminated lease have been rendered, and
 
  d)   collectability of the termination fee is assured.
Deferred Financing and Leasing Costs
Costs incurred in connection with financing or leasing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related loan or lease. Deferred financing cost amortization is reported as interest expense. Intangible assets related to acquired in-place leases are amortized over the terms of the related leases.
Costs Incurred for Preferred Unit Issuance Costs incurred in connection with the Company’s preferred unit issuances are reflected as a reduction of Limited partner’s equity — preferred units.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest, distributions payable and other liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, which is based on estimates by management and on rates quoted on December 31, 2008 for comparable loans, is less than the aggregate carrying value by approximately $713.1 million at December 31, 2008.
Income Taxes
In conformity with the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state and local tax statutes, taxable income or loss of the Operating Partnership is required to be reported in the tax returns of the partners in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. However, the Company is taxed in certain states, the United Kingdom and Luxembourg. Accordingly, the Company has recognized federal, state, local and foreign taxes in accordance with US GAAP, as applicable.
In July 2006 the FASB issued FASB interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, no uncertain tax positions were identified which would result in the recording of a liability for unrecognized tax benefits, and correspondingly no benefit recognition was identified that would affect the effective tax rate. Additionally, there are no possibly significant unrecognized tax benefits which are reasonably expected to occur within the next 12 months. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expense. There are no interest and penalties deducted in the current period and no interest and penalties accrued at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
Certain of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries have net operating loss carryforwards available of approximately $19.3 million. These carryforwards begin to expire in 2018. The Company has considered estimated future taxable income and have determined that a valuation allowance for the full carrying value of net operating loss carryforwards is appropriate.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, certain state and local jurisdictions, the United Kingdom and Luxembourg. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local, or United Kingdom and Luxembourg examinations by tax authorities for years before 2005.

Table of Contents

Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company’s United Kingdom operations is pounds sterling. The Company translates the financial statements for the United Kingdom operations into US dollars. Gains and losses resulting from this translation do not impact the results of operations and are included in general partner’s equity-common units. Other comprehensive (loss) income was ($26.8) million, $1.1 million and $10.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Upon sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of a foreign investment, the gain or loss on the sale will include the cumulative translation adjustments that have been previously recorded in general partner’s equity-common units.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
SFAS No. 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for consistently measuring fair value under US GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The hierarchy is measured in three levels based on the reliability of inputs:
Level 1- Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities in a market that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2- Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, through corroboration with observable market data.
Level 3- Valuations derived from other valuation methodologies, including pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections that are not directly observable in the market and significant professional judgment in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
SFAS No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
SFAS No. 141(R)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Applying the Acquisition Method” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). This statement changes the accounting for acquisitions specifically eliminating the step acquisition model, changing the recognition of contingent consideration from being recognized when it is probable to being recognized at the time of acquisition, disallowing the capitalization of transaction costs and delays when restructurings related to acquisitions can be recognized. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will impact the accounting for acquisitions made beginning January 1, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
SFAS No. 160
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Accounting for Noncontrolling Interests” (“SFAS No. 160”). Under this statement, noncontrolling interests are considered equity and thus the Company’s practice of reporting minority interests in the mezzanine section of the balance sheet will be eliminated. Also, under SFAS No. 160, net income will encompass the total income of all consolidated subsidiaries and there will be separate disclosure on the face of the statement of operations of the attribution of that income between controlling and noncontrolling interests. Finally, increases and decreases in noncontrolling interests will be treated as equity transactions. The standard is effective on January 1, 2009. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
FSP EITF 03-6-1
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.” The FSP clarifies that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the

two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Deferred gains are amortized to equity in earnings (loss) of joint ventures over the average estimated useful lives of the assets sold.

6. INDEBTEDNESS
Indebtedness consists of mortgage loans, unsecured notes, and borrowings under the credit facility. The weighted average interest rates for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, were 6.1%, 6.5% and 6.6%, respectively. Interest costs during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 in the amount of $20.0 million, $45.7 million and $30.8 million, respectively, were capitalized. Cash paid for interest for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, was $177.0 million, $172.9 million and $150.2 million, respectively.
During the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company purchased $23.4 million of its 8.5% senior unsecured notes. These notes were purchased at a $2.5 million discount. The discount is included in net income as a loan extinguishment gain.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company satisfied a $100 million 7.25% senior unsecured note and issued a $300 million 6.625% senior unsecured note due October 1, 2017. The Company used the net proceeds to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes. Amounts repaid under the credit facility were subsequently drawn to pay a portion of the cash merger consideration for the purchase of Republic Property Trust.
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company satisfied a $100 million 6.95% medium term note and issued a $300 million 5.50% senior unsecured note due December 15, 2016. The Company used the net proceeds to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
The Company is subject to financial covenants contained in some of the debt agreements, the most restrictive of which are detailed below under the heading “Credit Facility.” As of December 31, 2008 the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.
Mortgage Loans, Unsecured Notes
Mortgage loans with maturities ranging from 2009 to 2017 are collateralized by and in some instances cross-collateralized by properties with a net book value of $309.4 million.
The interest rates on $2,327.5 million of mortgage loans and unsecured notes are fixed and range from 5.0% to 8.8%. The weighted average remaining term for the mortgage loans and unsecured notes is 4.9 years.
Credit Facility
$600 Million Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has a four-year, $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “$600 million Credit Facility”). Based on the Company’s present ratings, borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility are priced at LIBOR plus 65 basis points. The $600 million Credit Facility contains a competitive bid option, whereby participating lenders bid on the interest rate to be charged. This feature is available for up to 50% of the amount of the facility. The interest rate on the $260.0 million of borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2008 was 1.56%. The current ratings for the Company’s senior unsecured debt are Baa2, BBB, and BBB+ from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively. The $600 million Credit Facility has an accordion feature for an additional $200 million. There is also a 15 basis point annual facility fee on the current borrowing capacity. The $600 million Credit Facility expires on January 16, 2010 and may

101


Table of Contents

be extended for a one-year period. The fee to extend the $600 million Credit Facility for one year is $900,000. The $600 million Credit Facility contains financial covenants, certain of which are set forth below:
    total debt to total assets may not exceed 0.60:1;
 
    earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to fixed charges may not be less than 1.50:1;
 
    unsecured debt to unencumbered asset value must equal or be less than 60%; and

8. OWNERS’ EQUITY
Common Units
General and Limited partners’ equity — common units relates to limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership issued in connection with the formation of the Company and certain subsequent acquisitions. During 2006, 684,432 common units were issued in connection with an acquisition. No common units were issued in connection with acquisitions during 2008 or 2007. The common units outstanding as of December 31, 2008 have the same economic characteristics as common shares of the Trust. The 4,074,967 common units are the common units held by persons and entities other than Liberty Property Trust, the general partner of Liberty Property Limited Partnership, which holds a number of common units equal to the number of outstanding common shares of beneficial interest. Both the common units held by Liberty Property Trust and the common units held by persons and entities other than Liberty Property Trust are counted in the weighted average number of common units outstanding during

102

any given period. The 4,074,967 common units share proportionately in the net income or loss and in any distributions of the Operating Partnership and are exchangeable into the same number of common shares of the Trust. The market value of the 4,074,967 common units at December 31, 2008 based on the closing price of the shares of the Company at December 31, 2008 was $93.0 million.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Substantially all of the Properties and land were subject to Phase I Environmental Assessments and when appropriate Phase II Environmental Assessments (collectively, the “Environmental Assessments”) obtained in contemplation of their acquisition by the Company. The Environmental Assessments consisted of, among other activities, a visual inspection of each Property and its neighborhood and a check of pertinent public records. The Environmental Assessments did not reveal, nor is the Company aware of, any non-compliance with environmental laws, environmental liability or other environmental claim that the Company believes would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company is obligated to make additional capital contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures of $3.8 million. The Company has not guaranteed any of the debt of the unconsolidated joint ventures.

103


Table of Contents

The Company has letter of credit obligations of $2.0 million related to development requirements. It is remote that there will be a draw upon these letter of credit obligations.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions. The combined account balances at each institution typically exceed FDIC insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company believes the risk is not significant.
Litigation
The Company has been substituted for Republic as a party to certain litigation as a result of the Company’s acquisition of Republic on October 4, 2007. The litigation arises out of disputes between Republic and certain parties, two of whom were members of Republic’s Board of Trustees and “founders” of Republic. The disputes include claims arising from the termination of an officer of Republic (damages sought $1.8 million), and an attempt by Republic to acquire a certain office property from an entity controlled by the aforementioned related parties pursuant to an option agreement entered into at the time of Republic’s formation (damages sought $85.0 million compensatory and $85.0 million punitive). The Company believes that these claims are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously against this litigation.
In accordance with SFAS No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies,” the Company will record a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, the Company believes that such legal actions will not have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

11. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates its portfolio of properties primarily throughout the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern United States. Additionally, the Company owns certain assets in the United Kingdom. The Company reviews the performance of the portfolio on a geographical basis. As such, the following regions are considered the Company’s reportable segments:

Table of Contents

     
Reportable Segments   Markets
Northeast
  Southeastern PA; Lehigh/Central PA; New Jersey
Midwest
  Minnesota; Milwaukee; Chicago
Mid-Atlantic
  Maryland; Carolinas; Richmond; Virginia Beach
South
  Jacksonville; Orlando; Boca Raton; Tampa; Texas; Arizona
Philadelphia
  Philadelphia; Northern Virginia/Washington, D.C.
United Kingdom
  County of Kent; West Midlands
The Company’s reportable segments are distinct business units which are each managed separately in order to concentrate market knowledge within a geographic area. Within these reportable segments, the Company derives its revenues from its two product types: industrial properties and office properties.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company began to report the results of the Arizona market as part of the “South” reportable segment rather than listing Arizona as its own reportable segment, as it had been presented in 2007. Also, the Company began to report the results of the Lehigh/Central PA market as part of the “Northeast” reportable segment rather than as part of the “Midwest” segment. The Company also began to report the results of certain operating properties containing 834,000 square feet in the “Philadelphia” reportable segment rather than as part of the New Jersey market in the “Northeast” reportable segment, as they had been presented in 2007. As required by SFAS No. 131 (“SFAS No. 131”) “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” consolidated financial statements issued by the Company in the future will reflect modifications to the Company’s reportable segments resulting from the change described above, including reclassification of all comparative prior period segment information.
The Company evaluates performance of the reportable segments based on property level operating income, which is calculated as rental revenue and operating expense reimbursement less rental property expenses and real estate taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those for the Company on a consolidated basis.
The operating information by segment is as follows (in thousands):

12. SFAS NO. 144, “ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OR DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS”
Discontinued Operations In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the operating results and gain/(loss) on disposition of real estate for properties sold and held for sale are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations. Prior year financial statements have been adjusted for discontinued operations. The proceeds from dispositions of operating properties with no continuing involvement were $80.0 million and $369.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Below is a summary of the results of operations of the properties disposed of through the respective disposition dates (in thousands):
                         
    Year Ended December 31,  
    2008     2007     2006  
Revenues
  $ 13,295     $ 43,330     $ 85,536  
Operating expenses
    (5,377 )     (17,375 )     (31,202 )
Interest expense
    (2,203 )     (6,957 )     (14,764 )
Depreciation and amortization
    (3,153 )     (9,671 )     (19,838 )
 
                 
 
                       
Income before property dispositions and minority interest
  $ 2,562     $ 9,327     $ 19,732  
 
                 
Six properties totaling 296,000 square feet located in the Company’s Mid-Atlantic segment are considered to be held for sale as of December 31, 2008.
Interest expense is allocated to discontinued operations as permitted under EITF Issue 87-24, "Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations,” and such interest expense has been included in computing income from discontinued operations. The allocation of interest expense to discontinued operations was based on the ratio of net assets sold (without continuing involvement) to the sum of total net assets plus consolidated debt.
Asset Impairment
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, during the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized impairment losses of $3.1 million, $0.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively. The 2008 impairment loss of $3.1 million was recognized in the fourth quarter and was related to a 49,000 square foot operating property in the Midwest segment, a 110,000 square foot operating property in Southeastern PA and a 296,000 square foot portfolio of operating properties in the Mid-Atlantic segment. The 2007 impairment loss of $0.2 million was related to various land parcels. The 2006 impairment loss of $4.2 million was primarily related to a 352,000 square foot portfolio of operating properties in the Midwest segment. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2006, respectively, $3.1 million and $4.2 million in impairment related to properties sold or held for sale were included in the caption discontinued operations in the Company’s statement of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2007, $0.2 million in impairment was included in the caption gain on property dispositions as a component of income from continuing operations. The Company determined these impairments through a comparison of the aggregate future cash flows (including quoted offer prices) to be generated by the properties to the carrying value of the properties. The Company has evaluated each of the properties and land held for development and has determined that there are no additional valuation adjustments necessary at December 31, 2008.
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In December 2008, the Company commenced the sale of common shares pursuant to a continuous offering program. From January 1, 2009 through February 23, 2009, the Company sold 2.3 million common shares through this program. The net proceeds from the offering of $47.4 million were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.
In February 2009, the Company closed on mortgages totaling $193.2 million. The mortgages encumber certain of the Company’s Properties in Operation. The net proceeds from these mortgages were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.

SECTION 1
PURPOSE
     The Company considers it essential to its best interests to foster the optimum performance of its management employees. The Company recognizes the possibility that a Change in Control of the Company or one or more Subsidiaries may occur, or that the Company may engage in certain other transactions which may affect its management employees, and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise, may result in the distraction of management to the detriment of the Company.
     In order to encourage management employees to maintain their continued attention and dedication to their duties and responsibilities, the Company has adopted this Management Severance Plan.

               (a) The Employee is an Employee of the Company or any Subsidiary after the Effective Date of the Plan;
               (b) The Employee is employed by the Company at the time a Change of Control occurs; and
               (c) The Employee is terminated from employment within two (2) years after the Change of Control described in Section 3.1(b) occurs, unless such termination is: (i) as a result of such Employee’s death, or such Employee’s Disability or Extended Leave of Absence in accordance with Section 3.2, (ii) as a result of such Employee’s Willful Misconduct or (iii) by the Employee other than for Good Reason. In the event an individual’s employment is terminated for any reason prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, such individual shall not be entitled to any benefits under the Plan by virtue of such Change of Control.

absent from the full-time performance of his or her duties for twelve (12) consecutive months, the Employee shall not be entitled to any benefits under the Plan.
     3.3 Willful Misconduct. Termination of the Employee’s employment for “Willful Misconduct” shall mean termination:
               (a) Upon the continued failure by the Employee to substantially perform his or her duties, which failure the Employee fails to cure (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Disability or an Extended Leave of Absence or the Employee’s termination of his or her employment for Good Reason) within ten (10) days after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Employee by the Company or the Subsidiary by which he or she is employed, which demand describes in reasonable detail the manner in which the Company or such Subsidiary believes that the Employee has not substantially performed his or her duties; or
               (b) The willful engaging by the Employee in conduct which is materially injurious to the Company and/or any Subsidiary, monetarily or otherwise. For purposes of this Section 3.3, no act, or failure to act, on the Employee’s part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Employee in bad faith and without reasonable belief that his or her action or omission was in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and/or any Subsidiary.
               (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Willful Misconduct unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Employee a copy of a written determination of the Compensation Committee issued pursuant to a meeting of the Compensation Committee (after reasonable notice to the Employee and an opportunity for the Employee, together with his or her counsel, to be heard before the Compensation Committee) finding that in the good faith opinion of the Compensation Committee the Employee was guilty of conduct constituting Willful Misconduct, as set forth in this Section 3.3, and describing such conduct in reasonable detail.

5


 

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Page

               (d) a material change in the geographic location at which the Employee must perform services, which for purposes of this Agreement means the requirement that Employee must perform services at a location that is 50 miles from the current executive offices of the Company, other than on travel reasonably required to carry out Employee’s obligations under this Agreement; or
               (e) any material breach of this Agreement by the Company.
Provided, however, that a termination by Employee for Good Reason shall be effective only if (i) the Employee has provided a notice of termination to the Company within 90 days after the initial existence of the event constituting Good Reason that an event constituting Good Reason has occurred, (ii) within 30 days following the delivery of such notice of termination by Employee to the Company, the Company has failed to cure the circumstances giving rise to Good Reason, and (iii) Employee’s termination of employment is effective within 30 days following the end of the 30-day cure period set forth above.
     3.5 Termination of Employment. After the occurrence of a Change of Control, any purported termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company or by the Employee shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party. “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice that shall indicate the specific termination provision in the Plan relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Employee’s employment under the provision so indicated. Any Notice of Termination to the Company shall be directed to the Compensation Committee. All Notices of Termination shall be sent (i) by certified or registered mail and shall be deemed received three (3) business days after the date of mailing; (ii) by Federal Express or similar overnight courier and shall be deemed received one (1) business day after delivery to Federal Express or similar overnight courier; or (iii) by personal service and shall be deemed received on the same day as service.

               (c) The Company does not undergo a Change of Control prior to termination of his or her employment; or
               (d) Except in the case of a Change of Control, the Employee voluntarily terminates his or her employment with the Company.
SECTION 4
SEVERANCE BENEFIT AMOUNT
     4.1 Severance Pay. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4, the Severance Pay to be paid to an eligible Employee shall be an amount equal to the sum of (A) the product of the Applicable Multiplier for such Employee multiplied by the sum of one (1) Year of Pay for such Employee plus such Employee’s Eligible Bonus, plus (B) the pro rata portion, through the Termination Date, of any unpaid performance bonus earned by such Employee for the year in which the Change of Control occurs. In addition, except as otherwise provided in this Section 4:
               (a) all of such Employee’s options or other rights to acquire Common Shares or partnership interests in Liberty Property Limited Partnership, all unvested amounts contributed by the Company to the Company-sponsored tax-qualified defined contribution plan with a cash or deferred arrangement, commonly known as a “401(k) plan,” for the benefit of such Employee, and all restricted stock granted to such Employee, shall vest immediately upon the Termination Date,
               (b) the Company shall make a lump sum payment to Employee within 60 days following Employee’s Termination Date in an amount equal to three years of maximum contributions allowed under applicable laws to the Company-sponsored tax-qualified defined contribution plan with a cash or deferred arrangement, commonly known as a “401(k) plan.”
               (c) the Company shall make a lump sum payment to Employee within 60 days following the Employee’s Termination Date in an amount equal to the cost to Employee for three (3) years of substantially similar benefits enjoyed by such Employee under the Company’s life insurance, accident or disability plans in which the Employee was participating at the time of the Change of Control.
               (d) For a period of thirty-six (36) months following the Termination Date, the Employee shall continue to receive the medical and dental coverage in effect on his Termination Date (or generally comparable coverage) for himself and, where applicable, his spouse and dependents, at the same premium rates as may be charged from time to time for employees generally, as if the Employee had continued in employment during such period; provided that in order to receive such continued coverage, the Employee shall be required to pay to the Company at the same

time that premium payments are due for the month an amount equal to the full monthly premium payments required for such coverage. The Company shall reimburse to Employee monthly the premium amount paid by the Employee, less the premium rate charged to active employees for such coverage (the “Health Payment”), no later than the next payroll date of the Company that occurs after the date the premium for the month is paid by the Employee. In addition, on each date on which the monthly Health Payments are made, the Company shall pay to the Employee an additional amount equal to the federal, state and local income and payroll taxes that the Employee incurs on each monthly Health Payment (the “Health Gross-up Payment”). The Health Payment paid to the Employee during the period of time during which the Employee would be entitled to continuation coverage under the Company’s group health plan under COBRA is intended to qualify for the exception from deferred compensation as a medical benefit provided in accordance with the requirements of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(B). The Health Payment and the Health Gross-up Payment shall be reimbursed to the Employee in a manner that complies with the requirements of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv). The COBRA health continuation coverage period under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) shall begin to run at the end of the thirty-six (36) month period during which Employee is entitled to medical coverage under this Agreement.
     4.2 Increases to Severance Pay. The Company, in its sole discretion, may increase the Severance Pay to an amount in excess of that specified in Section 4.1, subject to the limitations of Section 4.6. Any increase in severance pay must be expressly authorized in writing by the Compensation Committee.
     4.3 Unemployment Compensation. If an Employee applies for and receives unemployment compensation payments for any period of time during or for which Severance Pay is being paid, any Severance Pay remaining to be paid shall not be reduced by the amount of any such unemployment compensation payments.
     4.4 Sickness; Disability. If an Employee due to sickness or injury receives short-term disability payments, worker’s compensation or long-term disability payments after the Employee’s Termination Date, the Employee shall not receive any Severance Pay until the cessation of said payments. Once such payments cease, the amount of Severance Pay to which the Employee is entitled shall be reduced by the amount of any such short-term disability, worker’s compensation or long-term disability payments.
     4.5 Reduction of Severance Pay. The severance benefit provided for in the Plan is the maximum benefit that the Company will pay for severance. To the extent that a federal, state or local law might require the Company to make a payment to an Employee because of that Employee’s involuntary termination (other than with respect to unemployment compensation), the benefit payable under the Plan shall be correspondingly reduced. To the extent that an Employee receives severance pay in connection with the cessation of his or her employment other than pursuant to the Plan

8


 

TABLE OF CONTENTS
(continued)
Page
(whether pursuant to a contract or other severance plan or policy), the benefit payable under the Plan shall be correspondingly reduced. Any overpayments made under the Plan shall be promptly repaid after written request. Severance Pay that will be offset does not include payments received by an Employee due to his or her participation in any other benefit plan which is not a severance plan, or payments made to an Employee for his or her accrued, but unused vacation or Paid Time Off days.
     4.6 Section 280G(b) of Code.
     (a) If, at the time the Change of Control occurs, section 280G(b) of the Code is applicable to the Employee and to the Company with respect to the events associated with the Change of Control, then notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event that it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of an Employee, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise (the “Payment”), would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of section 280G of the Code, the Employee shall be paid an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount retained by the Employee after deduction of any excise tax imposed under section 4999 of the Code, and any federal, state and local income, employment tax and excise tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, shall be an amount such that the Employee will be in the same after-tax position as if no excise tax under the Code had been imposed; provided, however, that the Gross-Up Payment shall be payable only if it results in an after-tax payment amount to the Employee at least $25,000 greater than the Employee’s after-tax position without the Gross-Up Payment. In the event that the after-tax benefit would not meet this threshold, the Payment will be reduced in such amount as is reasonably deemed necessary by the Company so that no excise tax is imposed. Any Gross-Up Payment shall be paid by Company to Employee within five (5) days of receipt of the Company’s independent public accountant’s determination (as described below), but in any event not later than the end of the Employee’s taxable year next following the Employee’s taxable year in which the related taxes are remitted to the taxing authority.
     (b) For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, the Employee shall be deemed to pay federal income tax and employment taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income and employment taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of the Employee’s residence (or, if greater, the state and locality in which the Employee is required to file a nonresident income tax return with respect to the Payment) on the date of termination, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that may be obtained from the deduction of such state and local taxes (calculated by assuming that any reduction in itemized deductions allowable to him applies first to reduce the amount of such state and local taxes which would otherwise be deductible by him). All determinations to be made under this Section 4.6 shall be made by the tax counsel and Company’s independent

Page
public accountant immediately prior to the Change in Control (which may be the Company’s auditors (the “Referee”), which firm(s) shall provide its determinations and any supporting calculations both to the Company and the Employee within ten days of the Employee’s termination date. Any such determination by the Referee shall be binding upon the Company and the Employee. All fees and expenses of the Referee in performing the determinations referred to above shall be borne solely by the Company.
     (c) As a result of uncertainty in the application of section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Referee, it is possible that the Gross-Up Payment made will have been an amount less than the Company should have paid pursuant to this Section 4.6 (the “Underpayment”) or an amount greater than the Company should have paid pursuant to this Section 4.6 (the “Overpayment”). In the event that it is finally determined that an Underpayment exists and the Employee is required to make a payment of any excise tax or related tax, the Gross-Up Payment shall be adjusted accordingly and the shortfall shall be promptly paid by the Company to the Employee. In the event that it is finally determined that an Overpayment exists and the Company paid a Gross-Up Payment to the Employee in excess of the amount of the Gross-Up Payment to which he is actually entitled hereunder, such excess shall be promptly reimbursed by the Employee to the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Referee of and from any and all claims, damages and expenses resulting from or relating to its determinations pursuant to this Section 4.6, except for claims, damages or expenses resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Referee.
     4.7 Further Actions. The Company shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary or appropriate to satisfy any requirements under federal, state or other laws to withhold or to make deductions from any benefits payable under the Plan.
SECTION 5
DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS
     5.1 Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan, payments will be made in a single lump sum payment within 60 days following the Employee’s Termination Date.
     5.2 Deceased Employees. Severance Pay shall be paid to the estate of any eligible Employee who dies before the entire amount due hereunder is paid.
SECTION 6
PLAN ADMINISTRATION

     6.1 Compensation Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee, which shall have complete authority to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make modifications and amendments to the Plan in accordance with Section 7.2 hereof.
     6.2 Determinations Conclusive. The determinations by the Compensation Committee prior to a Change of Control on the matters referred to such Committee shall be conclusive. Prior to a Change of Control, the Compensation Committee shall have full discretionary authority, the maximum discretion allowed by law, to administer, interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, and to determine any and all questions or disputes hereunder, including but not limited to eligibility for benefits and the amount of benefits due. Subsequent to a Change of Control the Compensation Committee shall not have full discretionary authority; rather, its determinations shall be made strictly in accordance with the terms of the Plan and shall be subject to de novo review by a court of competent jurisdiction.
     6.3 Disputes. In the event of a claim by any person, including but not limited to any Employee (the “Claimant”), as to whether such person is entitled to any benefit under the Plan, the amount of any distribution or its method of payment, such Claimant shall present the reason for his or her claim in writing to the Compensation Committee. Such claim must be filed within forty-five (45) days following the date upon which the Claimant first learns of his or her claim. All claims shall be in writing, signed and dated and shall briefly explain the basis for the claim. The claim shall be mailed to the Compensation Committee by certified mail at the following address:
Liberty Property Trust
65 Valley Stream Parkway
Malvern, PA 19355
Attention: General Counsel’s Office
Compensation Committee for the
Liberty Property Trust Management Severance Plan
Telephone:(610) 648-1700
Telecopy:(610) 644-2175 (fax)
     The Compensation Committee shall, within ninety (90) days after receipt of such written claim, decide the claim and send written notification to the Claimant as to its disposition; provided that the Compensation Committee may elect to extend such period for an additional ninety (90) days if special circumstances so warrant and the Claimant is so notified in writing prior to the expiration of the original ninety (90)-day period. In the event the claim is wholly or partially denied, such written notification shall (a) state the specific reason or reasons for the denial; (b) make specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; (c) provide a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim and an

explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and (d) set forth the procedure by which the Claimant may appeal the denial of his or her claim. The Claimant may request a review of such denial by making application in writing to the Compensation Committee within sixty (60) days after receipt of such denial. Such application must be via certified mail. The named appeals fiduciary is the Compensation Committee or the person(s) named by the Compensation Committee to review the Claimant’s appeal. Such Claimant (or his or her duly authorized representative) may, upon written request to the Compensation Committee, review any documents pertinent to his or her claim, and submit in writing issues and comments in support of his or her claim or position. Within sixty (60) days after receipt of a written appeal, the named appeals fiduciary shall decide the appeal and notify the Claimant of the final decision; provided that the named appeals fiduciary may elect to extend such sixty (60)-day period to up to one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the written appeal. The final decision shall be in writing and shall include specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based.
     6.4 Payment of Fees. All reasonable legal fees and expenses of the Claimant incurred in pursuing a claim in accordance with Section 6.3 shall be reimbursed to such Claimant by the Company, but only if the Claimant substantially prevails with respect to such claim.
SECTION 7
PLAN MODIFICATION OR TERMINATION
     7.1 Automatic Termination. The Plan shall terminate automatically on the day following the annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders to be held in 2004. Unless the Company’s Board of Trustees determines, prior to such termination, that the duration of the Plan shall not be extended, then, on the date of each annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders (beginning with the meeting to be held in 2004), the Plan shall be extended automatically until the day following the next annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders.

acting pursuant thereto, the Compensation Committee shall retain the authority provided in Section 6.

SECTION 8
GENERAL PROVISIONS
     8.1 No Right to Employment. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to give any Employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or to interfere with the right of the Company to discharge him or her at any time, with or without cause.
     8.2 Vacancies on Compensation Committee. If any of the positions on the Compensation Committee becomes vacant, either the Chairman of the Board or President of the Company may appoint such person or persons as he or she determines, to carry out the responsibilities assigned to such position under the Plan, so long as, if a Change of Control has occurred within two (2) years prior to such appointment, such person was employed by the Company or was a member of the Board of Trustees prior to any such Change of Control.
     8.3 Assignments. Except as otherwise provided by law, no right or interest of any Employee under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation by execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or in any other manner, but excluding adjudication of incompetency; no attempted assignment or transfer thereof shall be effective; and no right or interest of any Employee under the Plan shall be liable for, or subject to, any obligation or liability of such Employee, except to the extent specifically provided for herein.

     8.6 Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and to the extent not preempted, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
     8.7 Welfare Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute a “welfare plan” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and any ambiguities in the Plan shall be construed to effect that intent.
     8.8 Section 409A of the Code.
          (a) Interpretation. Notwithstanding the other provisions hereof, this Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable, and this Agreement shall be interpreted to avoid any penalty sanctions under Section 409A of the Code. Accordingly, all provisions herein, or incorporated by reference, shall be construed and interpreted to comply with Section 409A of the Code and, if necessary, any such provision shall be deemed amended to comply with Section 409A of the Code. If any payment or benefit cannot be provided or made at the time specified herein without incurring sanctions under Section 409A of the Code, then such benefit or payment shall be provided in full at the earliest time thereafter when such sanctions will not be imposed. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, all payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement may only be made upon a “separation from service” within the meaning of such term under Section 409A of the Code, each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment and the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement is to be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. In no event shall Employee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment.
          (b) Payment Delay. To the maximum extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, the severance benefits payable under this Agreement are intended to comply with the “short-term deferral exception” under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4), and any remaining amount is intended to comply with the “separation pay exception” under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii); provided, however, if on the date of Employee’s termination of employment Company’s stock (or stock of any other company required to be aggregated with Company for purposes of Section 409A of the Code) is publicly-traded on an established securities market or otherwise and Employee is a “specified employee” (as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and its corresponding regulations) as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (or its delegate) in its sole discretion in accordance with its “specified employee” determination policy, then all cash severance payments payable to Employee under this Agreement that are deemed as deferred compensation subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and payable within six (6) months following Employee’s “separation from service” shall be postponed for a period of six (6) months following Employee’s “separation from service” with Company. The postponed amounts shall be paid to Employee in a lump sum within 30 days after the date that is six (6) months following Employee’s “separation

from service” with Company. If Employee dies during such six (6) month period and prior to payment of the postponed cash amounts hereunder, the amounts delayed on account of Section 409A of the Code shall be paid to the personal representative of Employee’s estate within 60 days after Employee’s death.
          (c) Reimbursements. All reimbursements and provision of in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses incurred during Employee’s lifetime (or during a shorter period of time specified in this Agreement), (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the amount of in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year, (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense or provision of in-kind benefits will be made on or before the last day of the taxable year following the year in which the expense is incurred or payment becomes due, and (iv) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Any tax gross up payments to be made hereunder shall be made not later than the end of Employee’s taxable year next following Employee’s taxable year in which the related taxes are remitted to the taxing authority.

LIBERTY PROPERTY TRUST
 
PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
To Be Held May 15, 2008
 
GENERAL INFORMATION
 
This proxy statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Trustees of Liberty Property Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Trust” or the “Company”), for use at the Trust’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) to be held at The Desmond Hotel, One Liberty Boulevard, Malvern, Pennsylvania 19355 on May 15, 2008 at 11:00 a.m., local time, and any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth in the foregoing notice and more fully discussed herein. This proxy statement, the foregoing notice and the enclosed proxy are first being mailed to shareholders of the Trust on or about April 18, 2008. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on March 20, 2008 (the “Record Date”) shall be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting.
 
If the enclosed proxy is properly executed and received by the Trust prior to voting at the Meeting, the common shares of beneficial interest, $0.001 par value per share, of the Trust (the “common shares”) represented thereby will be voted in accordance with the instructions marked thereon. In the absence of instructions, the common shares represented by the enclosed proxy will be voted FOR the nominees of the Board of Trustees in the election of trustees and FOR ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2008. Management does not intend to bring any matter before the Meeting other than as indicated in the notice and does not know of anyone else who intends to do so. If any other matters properly come before the Meeting, however, the persons named in the enclosed proxy, or their duly constituted substitutes acting at the Meeting, will be authorized to vote or otherwise act thereon in accordance with their judgment on such matters.
 
Any proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise by notifying the Secretary of the Trust in writing prior to the time of the Meeting, by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.
 
On the Record Date, the Trust had 92,032,075 common shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting. Each holder of common shares is entitled to one vote per share held of record by such holder on the Record Date. There must be present at the Meeting in person or by proxy shareholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast to constitute a quorum for the Meeting. Common shares represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy but not voted on one or more proposals will be included in determining the presence of a quorum, but will not be considered cast on any proposal on which they were not voted. Thus, abstentions and broker “non-votes” are deemed to be present at the Meeting for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is constituted, but are not deemed to be votes cast at the Meeting. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power on that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.
 
Abstentions and broker “non-votes” will affect each of the proposals described in this proxy as follows:
 
  •  On the proposal to elect four Class II trustees to hold office until the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in 2011 and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, the vote of a majority of all the votes cast at the Meeting is necessary to elect a trustee. Neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will be counted as votes cast, and therefore will have no effect on the results of the vote with respect to this proposal.
 
  •  The vote of a majority of all the votes cast at the Meeting is necessary to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2008. Neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will be counted as votes cast, and therefore will have no effect on the results of the vote with respect to this proposal.
 
Assuming a quorum is present at the Meeting, a majority of all the votes cast at the Meeting shall be sufficient to elect a trustee. A majority of all votes cast in an election for trustee means that the number of shares voted “for” a nominee for trustee must exceed the number of votes cast as “withheld” from that nominee. In addition, the Trust’s

COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
Introduction
 
Our Compensation Discussion and Analysis addresses the compensation paid or awarded to our executive officers listed in the Summary Compensation Table that immediately follows this discussion. We refer to these executive officers as our “named executive officers.”
 
2007 Compensation
 
General
 
As is its practice, our Compensation Committee made its final compensation determinations for 2007 at a meeting held early the following year, in this case on March 27, 2008. This meeting followed several preliminary meetings of the Compensation Committee regarding 2007 compensation that were held during 2007 and early in 2008. These determinations include final determinations of cash bonuses and long-term incentive awards. At the same meeting, the Compensation Committee set base salaries and bonus and long-term incentive targets for 2008.
 
Compensation Objectives
 
The compensation paid or awarded to our named executive officers for 2007 was designed to meet the following objectives:
 
  •  Provide competitive levels of compensation for executive officers, taking into account the size of our company and the compensation paid by members of a peer group consisting of a selected group of REITs in our market sectors. We refer to this objective as “competitive compensation.”
 
  •  Create a compensation structure under which a meaningful portion of total compensation relates to the Trust’s actual performance, including long-term performance. We refer to this objective as “performance incentives.”
 
  •  Encourage the aggregation and maintenance of meaningful equity ownership, and alignment of executive and shareholder interests, by providing compensation that ties the interests of executive officers to those of the Trust’s shareholders by linking a portion of executive compensation directly to increases in shareholder value. We refer to this objective as “stakeholder incentives.”
 
  •  Provide compensation and benefits that will attract, motivate and retain superior talent over the long-term. We refer to this objective as “retention incentives.”

We fashioned various components of our 2007 compensation payments and awards to meet these objectives as follows:
 
     
Type of Compensation
 
Objectives Addressed
 
Salary   Competitive Compensation
Bonus   Performance Incentives

Retention Incentives

Determination of Competitive Compensation
 
In assessing competitive compensation, we relied on data provided to us by our independent compensation consultant, Towers Perrin. The compensation consultant provides this data to us on a regular basis. The compensation consultant employed its standard methodology to develop competitive compensation levels for seasoned executives having similar responsibilities, using comparative industry data derived from its executive compensation database, the NAREIT Compensation Survey and proxy data from a peer group consisting of certain office and industrial REITs. We believe that data regarding this peer group is useful with regard to an assessment of compensation for our named executive officers because it lends itself to a useful analysis of industry practices and to comparisons as to individual positions. The REITs that comprised the peer group for making decisions with respect to annual bonus and long-term incentive compensation are generally those that appear in the NAREIT Index as either “office,” “industrial” or “mixed,” subject to an appropriate market capitalization threshold. These REITs are listed below:
 
     
Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. 
  Franklin Street Properties Corp.
AMB Property Corporation
  Highwoods Properties, Inc.
BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. 
  HRPT Properties Trust
Boston Properties, Inc. 
  Kilroy Realty Corporation
Brandywine Realty Trust
  Mack-Cali Realty Corporation
Corporate Office Properties Trust
  Maguire Properties, Inc.
Cousins Properties Incorporated
  Parkway Properties, Inc.
DCT Industrial Trust
  ProLogis
Douglas Emmett, Inc. 
  PS Business Parks, Inc.
Duke Realty Corporation
  SL Green Realty Corp.
Eastgroup Properties, Inc. 
  Washington Real Estate Investment Trust
First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.
   
 
We have historically sought to maintain named executive officers’ salaries at or below the median of salaries for comparable executives based on trailing proxy data. Additionally, we have set our bonus and long-term incentive targets for named executive officers based on a review of the same type of data noted in the preceding paragraph. We check annually to see if our total cash compensation and total direct compensation are in line with the aforementioned industry data.
 
A comparison in early 2007 of the data to the Company’s 2006 salaries and target 2007 compensation indicated that:
 
  •  In general, salaries for certain named executive officers were below market.
 
  •  In general, total cash compensation and total direct compensation were below market.
 
  •  In general, the bonus and long-term incentive targets for named executive officers were below market.

Salaries
 
Base salaries are set by the Compensation Committee and are designed to be competitive with the salaries paid by peer group members. Changes in individual base salaries are based in part on the review of the report prepared by the independent compensation consultant, which included a review of peer group practices and other compensation data, as well as the individual’s responsibility, experience and performance and increases in cost of living indices. The weight given such factors by the Compensation Committee may vary from individual to individual. Base salaries are reviewed for adjustment annually. Based on the considerations described above, we adjusted the salaries of our named executive officers in early 2007 as follows:
 
         
Name
  Salary*  
 
William P. Hankowsky
  $ 525,000  
George J. Alburger, Jr. 
  $ 400,000  
Robert F. Fenza
  $ 370,000  
James J. Bowes
  $ 325,000  
Michael T. Hagan
  $ 320,000  
 
 
* Salary increases were approved on March 19, 2007, to be effective January 1, 2007.
 
As a result of these adjustments, all named executive officers’ salaries were within a range deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee for comparable executives derived from the peer group discussed above, and in consideration of the individual’s performance and experience.
 
The salaries of the named executive officers were not adjusted in 2008.
 
Annual Bonus Program
 
While the principal objective of our annual non-equity incentive compensation program, which we refer to as our annual bonus program, is to provide a short-term performance incentive, we nevertheless consider competitive factors, including total cash compensation of peers.
 
For 2007, each named executive officer was eligible for a cash bonus award equal to a specified percentage of the officer’s annual salary (the “Base Bonus Percentage”) multiplied by a percentage (the “Bonus Multiplier”). For 2007, Base Bonus Percentages were 105% for the Chief Executive Officer and 85% for the other named executive officers. The achievement of the bonus was based on a three-part formula. The first part of the formula measured growth in the Trust’s Funds from Operations per common share (“FFO”) relative to the corresponding performance of a peer group for 2007 determined by the Committee (the “Peer Group”). With respect to this goal, the Trust’s actual FFO growth for 2007 was 1.9%. The Peer Group’s average FFO growth for the period was 1.9%. The second part of the formula measured the Trust’s performance against a broad group of operational metrics approved by the Committee, including performance against projected FFO, earnings per common share, net operating income and general and administrative expenses, as well as execution of the Trust’s capital plan. With respect to these measures, the goals pre-established by the Committee for 2007, and the actual performance by the Trust for the period, were as follows: FFO per common share (projected $3.10-$3.25; actual $3.18); earnings per common share (projected $2.16-$2.74; actual $1.80); net operating income (target $398.0 million; actual $398.35 million); general and administrative expenses (target $49.0 million; actual $53.5 million); and execution of the Trust’s capital plan, as to which actual performance exceeded target with respect to goals for acquisitions, dispositions, development and equity and debt financing activities. The third part of the formula measured individual performance relative to established goals approved by the Committee. To determine the bonus, the Committee applied an 80% weighting to the first two parts of the formula and a 20% weighting to the third part of the formula.

The Committee, after considering the factors discussed above, made the following annual bonus awards to the named executive officers for 2007:
 
         
Name
  Amount  
 
William P. Hankowsky
  $ 496,912  
George J. Alburger, Jr. 
  $ 323,000  
Robert E. Fenza
  $ 297,480  
James J. Bowes
  $ 261,462  
Michael T. Hagan
  $ 257,632  
 
Consistent with a policy adopted by the Compensation Committee for all employees, our named executive officers have the option of taking common shares in lieu of a cash bonus awarded to them at the rate of shares equal to 120% of the cash value of the bonus or the portion thereof for which common shares are substituted, less applicable withholding tax. These shares are subject to restrictions on sale for one year after issuance. We believe that this inducement encourages share ownership, further aligns employee and shareholder interests and further supports our objective of retention, since the shares are restricted. Dividends are paid on common shares issued pursuant to such awards for 2007 performance and contractual restrictions on sale related to such awards will expire on March 28, 2009.
 
The annual bonus award payments are reflected in two separate columns of the Summary Compensation Table. The portion of the payment taken by the named executive officer in cash appears in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column, while the portion which the named executive officer elected to take in shares appears in the “Share Awards” column.
 
Long-Term Incentive Program — Equity-Based Compensation
 
Historically, the Compensation Committee has operated a long-term incentive compensation (“LTI”) program for named executive officers, which is linked directly to relative total shareholder return (“TSR”). Under this program, the LTI awards made to named executive officers were derived from the Company’s TSR measured against a peer group determined by the Compensation Committee, with the amount of the award varying with relative performance.
 
While ultimately, as discussed below, the Compensation Committee elected not to make awards under this program, it was in place for 2007. Under this program, each named executive officer would be eligible pursuant to our LTI program to receive an LTI payment that is a function of salary, with each named executive officer able to earn a specified percentage of salary (215% for chief executive officer and 130% for chief operating officer, chief financial officer, chief investment officer and chief legal officer). The LTI payment was typically made in a combination of restricted shares and options, with an approximate 80%/20% split favoring the use of restricted shares. The base amount of the LTI payment would be subject to a multiplier in accordance with the schedule set forth below:
 
     
TSR Performance
 
LTI Award
 
25th Percentile of Peer Group
  50% of LTI Target
Median of Peer Group
  100% of LTI Target
75th Percentile of Peer Group
  150% of LTI Target
 
However, in connection with the adoption of a new long-term incentive compensation plan for named executive officers, as discussed below in “2008 Compensation Developments,” the Committee has determined to make no award pursuant to the 2007 long-term incentive program. Had awards been made in accordance with the Committee’s past practice of implementing a floor to the formula at the 25th percentile (corresponding to the cap at the 75th percentile), the actual amounts that would have been earned as LTI and granted to the named executive

Overall 2007 Compensation
 
The tables that follow this Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth the compensation that our named executive officers were paid in 2007. In certain cases, however, decisions regarding compensation for 2007 services performed by our named executive officers were made in March 2008. Furthermore, portions of the amounts shown in the Summary Compensation Table, under the Share Awards and Options Awards columns, relate to compensation paid for years prior to 2007, but appear in the table because under applicable accounting guidelines, the Company reflected an expense for this compensation in its 2007 financial statements. In order to provide additional clarification on all compensation paid in consideration of 2007 performance, we are providing the following table. It should not be read as a replacement of the tables appearing following this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, but as a supplement thereto. This table reflects the fact that except for the shares taken by certain named executive officers for in lieu of a cash bonus for 2007, no equity awards were made to our named executive officers for 2007. The amounts reflected in this table include:
 
  •  2007 annual salary;
 
  •  2007 annual bonus award (bonus paid in cash in 2008 in consideration of 2007 performance); and
 
  •  Other compensation paid in 2007.
 
This table does not include amounts received by the named executive officers as dividends on awards granted for services performed prior to 2007, or as retention awards, that are shown as compensation in the Summary Compensation Table. It also does not include the options that were awarded on March 28, 2008, which are described below under “2008 Compensation Developments — 2008 Awards Under 2008 Plan.”

Messrs. Hankowsky, Alburger and Hagan exercised this option as to 50%, 100% and 100%, respectively, of their entire annual bonuses and were awarded 6,327, 8,749 and 6,978 common shares, respectively.

(b) Includes (i) amounts paid by the Company to purchase term life insurance policies for the Messrs. Hankowsky, Alburger, Fenza, Bowes and Hagan as follows: $1,433, $1,433, $1,433, $1,433 and $1,433, respectively; (ii) $25,341 in payments made to provide a car service to Mr. Hankowsky from time to time and (iii) $500 paid to each named executive officer as a holiday bonus; this amount is paid to each employee of the Company.
 
Share-Based Award Grant Practices
 
In 2007, we followed practices for the grant of share-based awards consistent with the manner in which we have historically granted such awards. Among other things, these practices encompass the following principles:
 
  •  Share-based awards are to be approved annually by the Compensation Committee at a meeting set once the data required by the compensation formula is available, which generally occurs in the second half of March.
 
  •  The annual share-based awards will not be made when the Compensation Committee is aware that executive officers or non-employee trustees are in possession of material, non-public information.
 
  •  While share-based awards other than annual awards may be granted, such awards will not be made to executive officers if the Compensation Committee is aware that they are in possession of material, non-public information.
 
  •  The Compensation Committee has established that options are granted only on the date the Compensation Committee meets to approve the grant and with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant.
 
  •  Backdating of options is prohibited.

Management Severance Plan
 
We have a management severance plan for a group of senior officers, including our named executive officers. Various aspects of this plan are described under “Payments upon Termination Events, Including Following a Change of Control.” The management severance plan provides for payments and other benefits to each of the named executive officers if we terminate the executive’s employment without cause or if the executive terminates employment for “good reason” within two years following a change of control. The management severance plan also provides that if the total payments to any of our named executive officers under the terms of the management severance plan are subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, we will make an additional payment to the named executive officer, which payment is designed so that, after payment of all excise taxes and any other taxes payable in respect of the additional payment, the named executive officer will retain the same amount as if no excise tax had been imposed. See “Tax Considerations” below for further information regarding the excise tax reimbursement.
 
Tax Considerations
 
Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, a publicly-held corporation may not deduct more than $1 million in a taxable year for certain forms of compensation made to the chief executive officer and other officers listed on the Summary Compensation Table. Our policy is to seek to preserve the federal income tax deductibility of compensation paid to our executives, and our equity awards have generally been structured to preserve deductibility under Section 162(m). Nevertheless, we retain the flexibility to authorize compensation that may not be deductible if we believe it is in the best interests of our company. We believe that the compensation paid to our executives in 2007 was deductible.
 
As noted above, under the management severance plan, we will make additional payments to our named executive officers if payments to them resulting from a change of control are subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. We included this provision in the management severance plan in order to enhance the motivation of our named executive officers to further increase shareholder value while remaining employed by us. We believe that these incentives would be frustrated by the possible imposition of the need for our executive officers to pay an excise tax upon the receipt of their change of control benefit under the management severance plan, and we do not believe that the provisions of the management severance plan should provide even a potential disincentive to our named executive officers’ pursuit of a change of control that otherwise might be in the best interests of the Trust and its shareholders. Accordingly, we determined to provide payment to reimburse our named executive officers for any excise taxes payable in connection with the change-in-control payment, as well as any taxes that accrue as a result of our reimbursement. We believe that this determination is appropriate given our named executive officers’ collective record in seeking to enhance shareholder value.
 
Role of Executive Officers in Determining Executive Compensation for Named Executive Officers
 
In connection with 2007 compensation, Towers Perrin provided data and Mr. Bowes provided general support to the Compensation Committee to assist it in determining compensation levels. Mr. Hankowsky made recommendations as to named executive officers but not as to his own compensation. While the Compensation Committee utilized this information, and valued Mr. Hankowsky’s observations with regard to other executive officers, the ultimate decisions regarding executive compensation were made by the Compensation Committee.
 
Share Ownership Guidelines
 
Share Ownership of Senior Officers
 
Consistent with an emphasis on higher standards of corporate governance, we believe that the investment community values share ownership by senior management and that, by holding an equity position in the Company, officers demonstrate their commitment to and belief in the long-term profitability of the Company. Accordingly, the Board believes that ownership of Company shares by officers should be encouraged, and has established ownership guidelines applicable to the Company’s officers at the Senior Vice President level and above.


15


 

The policy states that each covered officer should seek to acquire and maintain a level of ownership of Company common shares (determined based on the fair market value of such shares from time to time as a multiple of the officer’s base salary) as follows: Chief Executive Officer: 5x; Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer and General Counsel: 3x; and Senior Vice Presidents: 1x.
 
The policy stipulates that the covered officers should work toward achieving these levels of ownership with the objective of meeting the requirements by January 31, 2008 or within five years of becoming subject to these requirements, as applicable. Each of the named executive officers met the prescribed levels as of that date. Once a covered officer has achieved the targeted level of share ownership, the policy states that he or she (1) should maintain at least that level of ownership for the duration of his or her tenure with the Company and (2) should, within three years after receiving an increase in salary or a promotion, seek to achieve the resulting greater target level of ownership.
 
The policy recognizes the following sources of share ownership for purposes of determining whether the above ownership target is satisfied:
 
  •  Company common shares acquired by a covered officer, including unvested restricted share awards;
 
  •  Units of limited partnership interest in Liberty Property Limited Partnership; and
 
  •  Company common shares owned directly by a covered officer’s spouse or minor children who reside with the covered officer, or held in a trust established for estate and/or tax planning purposes that is revocable by the covered officer and/or his or her spouse.
 
For purposes of determining whether the ownership target is satisfied, shares underlying outstanding options are not included.
 
The policy further mandates that until such time as a covered officer has attained the applicable target ownership level, he or she must retain common shares obtained as a result of a share award, unless the Board otherwise permits.
 
Share Ownership of Trustees
 
The Board believes that trustees should be shareholders and have a financial stake in the Company. In furtherance of this belief, non-management trustees are paid a portion of their annual fees in the Company’s common shares.
 
Additionally, the trustees are expected to own an amount of Company common shares equal in value to five times the annual retainer paid to trustees. The target date for acquiring such ownership is May 2010.
 
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits
 
In addition to the components noted above, our compensation program may also include various benefits, such as health insurance plans and pension, profit sharing and retirement plans in which substantially all of the Trust’s employees participate. At the present time, the only plans in effect are health, dental, life and disability insurance plans, a 401(k) plan, a flexible spending insurance program, an employee share purchase plan and the severance plan for certain senior officers of the Trust described under “Management Severance Plan.”
 
In addition, in 2007 we reimbursed Mr. Hankowsky for the occasional use of a car service. The Company determined to reimburse Mr. Hankowsky for the car service because it determined that in those instances it was economically more productive for him to be able to continue to work while traveling in the car rather than be occupied by the task of driving.
 
2008 Compensation Developments
 
At a meeting held on March 27, 2008, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Liberty Property Trust (the “Company”) approved the Liberty Property Trust 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”), with the purpose of enhancing and refining the performance incentives provided to the Named Executive Officers. The 2008 Plan provides for an annual aggregate award (each, an


16


 

“Award”) composed of (i) a grant of restricted stock units (approximately two-thirds of the total targeted expected value of the Award) and (ii) an grant of stock options (approximately one-third of the total targeted expected value of the Award). When the Company’s common shares of beneficial interest, $0.001 par value (the “Common Shares”) are issued with respect to the Awards they underlie, they will be issued under the Company’s Amended and Restated Share Incentive Plan, and shall generally be subject to the terms and conditions of that plan.
 
Awards under the 2008 Plan will have the following general features:
 
Restricted Stock Units.  A “restricted stock unit” (or “RSU” or “phantom stock”) under the 2008 Plan consists of a legally-binding promise to pay the executive a certain number of the Common Shares at the end of the Award Period (as defined below), to the extent certain annual performance criteria are met or exceeded.
 
The restricted stock units shall be eligible to be earned over the three-year period beginning on the date of grant (the “Award Period”), and shall be further subdivided into (i) a portion earned ratably over the Award Period on a year-by-year basis (each year constituting a related “Performance Period”), using a specific performance measure (the “First Portion”), and (ii) a portion earned over the full Award Period, using another specific performance measure (the “Second Portion”). Neither portion, however, would be payable until the end of the three-year Award Period. Any dividends that accumulate prior to the end of the Award Period will be paid if and when the related restricted stock units are redeemed and paid.
 
Under the 2008 Plan, the Committee has the ability to utilize a wide variety of performance measures on which to base each particular year’s grant of restricted stock units, and will act each year to designate the specific performance measures for that year. For the Awards granted under the 2008 Plan for 2008, as discussed more specifically below, these two measures are based, respectively, on the amount of the Company’s “funds from operations” (the “FFO Portion”) for the First Portion of the Award, and its total shareholder return (the “TSR Portion”) as compared to a relevant peer group for the Second Portion of the Award. The Committee has adopted a performance metrics schedule for the 2008 Award, listing the threshold at which actual FFO and TSR will accrue, in relation to the specified target levels. These levels provide for specified awards upon attainment of stipulated percentages of the target level with a maximum payment of 200%, with the Compensation Committee retaining discretion to reduce the award from the prescribed level as it deems fit.
 
The restricted stock units that comprise the First Portion will be split into three equal pieces, corresponding to each of the three years in the relevant Award Period. Depending on how each year’s performance compares to the budget performance for that year using an annually-determined performance schedule, a portion of the related restricted stock units will be deemed earned for that year, and will be payable to the participant in Common Shares (under the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Share Incentive Plan) at the end of the Award Period. The restricted stock units that comprise the Second Portion are eligible to be earned on the basis of total shareholder return for the relevant Award Period, using a pre-determined performance schedule. The Second Portion will be deemed earned and payable to the participant in Common Shares (under the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Share Incentive Plan) at the end of the Award Period.
 
If a recipient of an Award quits or is discharged for cause prior to the end of the Award Period, all restricted stock units will be forfeited, even if they have (in the case of the First Portion that accrues on a year-by-year basis) already been earned. If the recipient of the Award is, instead, terminated without cause, or terminates by reason of death, disability or “Retirement” (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Share Incentive Plan) prior to the end of the Award Period, units would be payable at the end of the Award Period based on actual attainment within each Performance Period, and would not be pro-rated for short service. The 2008 Plan also includes several common restrictive covenants and other provisions, subject to the Committee’s discretion, that would trigger forfeiture of an Award.
 
Options.  Stock options granted under the 2008 Plan will be vested (and thus exercisable) solely on the basis of time and continued employment, with no regard to any performance criteria, at a rate of 20% of the total option component at the end of the first anniversary of the date of grant, 30% on the second anniversary, and the remainder on the third anniversary. In addition, they will become immediately vested and exercisable in full if the optionee ceases to be employed by, or provide services to, the Company by reason of death, disability, retirement or termination without cause. These terms and conditions are, generally, the terms and conditions that currently govern

options granted to named executive officers as part of the Company’s LTI program, and thus do not represent a change in that component of the LTI program.

(2) As described above, the RSUs constituting the First Portion are split into three equal pieces, corresponding to each of the three years in the relevant Award Period. One-third of the RSUs may be earned with respect each year in the Award Period, but will be payable to the participant at the end of the Award Period.
 
(3) As described above, the RSUs constituting the Second Portion are eligible to be earned on the basis of TSR for the full Award Period. The determination of whether the Second Portion is earned and payable shall be made at the end of the Award Period.

(1) This column indicates the dollar amount recognized as compensation expense by the Trust for financial statement reporting purposes during 2007 and 2006 under SFAS 123(R) with respect to restricted shares granted to the named executive officer. Accordingly, it includes amounts from awards made during and prior to the referenced year. These amounts reflect the Company’s accounting expense for these awards and do not correspond to the actual amounts received by the named executive officers as compensation for the referenced year.

A portion of the amounts shown in this column reflects the elections by Messrs. Hankowsky, Alburger, Fenza and Hagan, consistent with a policy adopted by the Trust’s Compensation Committee with respect to employee annual performance non-equity incentive compensation, which we sometimes refer to as annual bonus, to receive common shares in lieu of cash for all or part of their annual bonus compensation for 2007 or 2006. By making such elections, these individuals received shares equal to 120% of the cash value of such bonus or portion thereof, less applicable withholding tax (the “Bonus Value”). Each executive received the number of common shares able to be purchased with the dollar amount of the Bonus Value based on the closing price of the common shares on the New York Stock Exchange on March 28, 2008 ($31.20) for bonuses included in 2007 compensation or March 19, 2007 ($49.74) for bonuses included in 2006 compensation. The dollar amounts of Bonus Value recognized in accordance with SFAS 123(R) during 2007 and 2006 are reflected under the Share Awards column. Pursuant to these elections, Messrs. Hankowsky, Alburger and Hagan were awarded 6,327, 8,749 and 6,978 common shares, respectively, as 2007 compensation and 3,920, 2,029 and 1,858 common shares, respectively, as 2006 compensation, and Mr. Fenza was awarded 1,029 shares as 2006 compensation. Dividends will be paid on the common shares issued pursuant to such awards. The contractual restrictions on sale related to such awards will expire on March 28, 2009 for the awards made as 2007 compensation and expired on March 19, 2008 for the awards made as 2006 compensation.
 
(2) This column indicates the dollar amounts recognized as compensation expense by the Trust for financial statement reporting purposes during 2007 and 2006 under SFAS 123(R) with respect to all options to purchase common shares granted to the named executive officer, regardless of the date of grant. Accordingly, it includes amounts from grants made during and prior to the referenced years. These amounts reflect the Company’s accounting expense for these awards in the referenced years and do not correspond to the actual amounts received by the named executive officers as compensation for that year. For information regarding the assumptions made in the valuations of these amounts, see Footnote 10 to the Trust’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year.
 
(3) This column shows amounts of annual performance non-equity incentive compensation for 2007 and 2006 taken by the named executive officers in cash.
 
(4) Consists of amounts paid by the Company to purchase term life insurance policies for the Messrs. Hankowsky, Alburger, Fenza, Bowes and Hagan as follows: $1,433, $1,433, $1,433, $1,433 and $1,433, respectively, for 2007 and $1,500, $1,500, $1,500, $1,500 and $1,436, respectively for 2006. Includes dividends paid on unrestricted shares to Messrs. Hankowsky, Alburger, Fenza, Bowes and Hagan as follows: $59,642, $31,601, $32,913, $26,010 and $19,819, respectively, for 2007 and $74,419, $37,169, $39,260, $29,429 and $13,478, respectively, for 2006. Includes unvested reinvested dividends paid on unvested restricted shares to Messrs. Hankowsky and Alburger as follows: $84,154 and $59,635, respectively, for 2007 and $79,074 and $56,037, respectively, for 2006. Includes $25,341 and $16,682 in payments made during 2007 and 2006, respectively, to provide a car service to Mr. Hankowsky from time to time.

(1) March 19, 2007 represents (a) the date on which our Board set the range of potential annual bonus awards for 2007 performance by Named Executive Officers, and (b) the date on which it made grants of restricted shares that comprised the Long-Term Incentive (“LTI”) payment earned by the named executive officers in 2006. These restricted shares awards were determined in reference to the range of potential LTI payments for 2006 performance established by the Board at its March 19, 2007 meeting. At the March 19, 2007 meeting, the Board also established the range of potential LTI payments for 2007 performance. Ultimately, as discussed in Compensation Discuss and Analysis, no grants of restricted shares were made for 2007 performance.
 
(2) This award reflects the range of potential annual bonus available to be earned by the named executive officer for 2007. The actual amounts earned for 2007 pursuant to the annual bonus program are set forth in the Summary Compensation Table under “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” (or, where the Named Executive chose to take all or a portion of his annual bonus in the form of restricted shares, under “Share Awards”), and are also set forth in the table below. Each named executive officer’s annual bonus is a function of salary, with each named executive officer able to earn a specified percentage of his salary (105% for chief executive officer and 85% for chief operating officer, chief financial officer, chief investment officer and chief legal officer). The base amount of the bonus was then subject to a multiplier calculated in accordance with the three-part formula discussed under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Annual Bonus Program.”
 
The dollar amounts of the actual awards under the annual bonus program for 2007 performance, determined by the Compensation Committee at its March 28, 2008 meeting, were as follows:

  (a)  See footnote (1) to the Summary Compensation Table for a discussion of the election by some of the Named Executive Officers to receive common shares in lieu of cash for all or part of their annual bonus compensation for 2007.
 
(3) This column shows the restricted share component of the LTI payment made on March 19, 2007 related to 2006 performance. The shares will vest ratably over a five-year period.
 
(4) This column shows the share option component of the LTI payment made on March 19, 2007 related to 2006 performance. The options will vest 20% on the first anniversary of the date of grant, 50% on the second anniversary and 100% on the third anniversary.
 
(5) The value of the restricted share awards was based on the closing price of the common shares on the New York Stock Exchange on March 19, 2007 of $49.74. The value of the share options reflects a per option value of $5.68 arrived at a through a Black-Scholes analysis. The assumptions used in this analysis were as follows:
 
  •  5 year expected life
 
  •  0.183 expected volatility
 
  •  4.47% risk free interest rate
 
  •  5.16% dividend yield

Payments upon Termination Events, Including Following a Change of Control
 
The Trust has a management severance plan for a group of senior officers of the Trust, including Messrs. Hankowsky, Alburger, Fenza, Bowes and Hagan. The tables below reflect the amounts that would be payable to the named executive officers upon various termination events, including pursuant to the management severance plan. These tables show the amount of compensation payable to each of the named executive officers in the event of termination of such executive’s employment, in each of the following cases: termination by the Trust not for Cause (as defined in the management severance plan and described below), retirement, in the event of death or disability and following a Change of Control (as defined in the management severance plan and described below). The amounts indicated are based on the assumption that the termination occurred as of December 31, 2007, on which date the closing price of the common shares on the New York Stock Exchange was $28.81. Actual amounts payable would vary based on the date of the named executive officer’s termination and can only be finally determined at that time.
 
In general, the management severance plan applies similarly to each of the named executive officers as follows: In the event of (i) the termination of the named executive officer other than “for cause” or (ii) the named executive officer’s voluntary termination of his employment for “good reason,” in either case within two years following a “change of control,” the named executive officer would receive the following: (a) an amount equal to 2.99 times the sum of his current annual base salary plus the largest annual performance bonus paid to him over the previous five years; (b) the pro rata portion, through the date of termination, of unpaid performance bonus for the year in which the termination occurs; (c) immediate vesting of outstanding options and restricted shares; (d) an amount equal to the Trust’s maximum contribution under the 401(k) plan for a period of three years, including the year in which termination occurs; (e) immediate vesting of contributions previously made by the Trust to the individual’s account under the 401(k) plan; and (f) continuation of employee group benefits coverage for a period of three years after the date of termination. In addition, under the severance plan, if any payments made to a covered person would result in an excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the named executive officer would become entitled to receive a tax reimbursement payment that


25


 

would put him in the same financial position after the application of the excise tax as he would have been in if the excise tax did not apply to such amounts.
 
Payments Made Upon Termination by Trust Not for Cause
 
Regardless of the manner in which a named executive officer’s employment terminates, he is entitled to receive amounts earned during his term of employment. Such amounts include:
 
  •  non-equity incentive compensation earned during the fiscal year;
 
  •  unused vacation pay
 
Payments Made Upon Retirement
 
Under the terms of the agreements pursuant to which the named executive officers have been granted their options and restricted shares, the vesting of unvested options or restricted shares at the retirement of the named executive officer is generally based upon a sliding scale taking into account the named executive officer’s age and length of service to the Trust. The following table illustrates this scale:
 
             
    Minimum Years
     
Age
  of Service to Trust     Amount to Vest
 
55-56
    10     Options and restricted shares that would have vested in accordance with their terms during the 12 month period after the named executive officer’s retirement shall vest as of the date of retirement
57-58
    8     Options and restricted shares that would have vested in accordance with their terms during the 24 month period after the named executive officer’s retirement shall vest as of the date of retirement
59-60
    6     Options that would have vested in accordance with their terms during the 24 month period after the named executive officer’s retirement shall vest as of the date of retirement; restricted shares that would have vested in accordance with their terms during the 36 month period after the named executive officer’s retirement shall vest as of the date of retirement
61-62
    4     Options and restricted shares that would have vested in accordance with their terms during the 48 month period after the named executive officer’s retirement shall vest as of the date of retirement
63-64
    2     Options and restricted shares that would have vested in accordance with their terms during the 60 month period after the named executive officer’s retirement shall vest as of the date of retirement
65 or more
        All options and restricted shares not vested at the date of retirement shall vest as of the date of retirement
 
As of December 31, 2007, the named executive officers were the following ages and had the following years of service to the Trust:
 
                 
          Years
 
Name
  Age     of Service  
 
William P. Hankowsky
    56       7  
George J. Alburger, Jr. 
    60       12+  
Robert E. Fenza
    50       23+  
James J. Bowes
    54       11+  
Michael T. Hagan
    50       18+  
 
The options that so become exercisable upon retirement, along with any other options that were already exercisable on the date of retirement, may be exercised until the date that is 36 months after the date of retirement.
 
Payments Made Upon Death or Disability
 
In the event of the death or disability of a named executive officer, in addition to the benefits listed under the headings “Payments Made Upon Termination by Trust Not for Cause” above, all unvested options or restricted


26


 

shares owned by the named executive officers will vest immediately. In the case of options, the options will remain exercisable until the date that is 36 months after the date of termination of the named executive officer’s employment with the Trust due to his death or disability.
 
Payments Made Upon a Termination Following a Change of Control
 
The Trust has a Management Severance Plan to which each of the named executive officers is a party. Pursuant to these agreements, if an executive’s employment is terminated within two years following a change of control (other than termination by the Company for cause or by reason of death or disability) or if the executive terminates his employment in certain circumstances defined in the agreement which constitute “good reason”, in addition to the benefits listed under the heading “Payments Made Upon Termination by Trust Not for Cause”:
 
  •  the named executive officer will receive:
 
  •  a lump sum severance payment of 2.99 times the sum of the executive’s current annual base salary plus the largest annual performance bonus paid to him over the previous five years;
 
  •  a lump sum amount representing a pro rata portion, through the date of termination, of unpaid performance bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, assuming achievement of the target level of the performance goals;
 
  •  a lump sum amount equal to the Trust’s maximum contribution under the 401(k) plan for a period of three years, including the year in which termination occurs;
 
  •  an amount equal to the excise tax charged to the named executive officer as a result of the receipt of any change-of-control payments; and
 
  •  continuation of employee group benefits coverage for a period of three years after the date of termination.
 
  •  all options and restricted shares held by the executive, as well as contributions previously made by the Trust to the individual’s account under the 401(k) plan, will automatically vest
 
The Management Severance Plan to which the named executive officers are parties has been filed as Exhibit 10.9 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Under the Management Severance Plan, a change of control is deemed to occur on:
 
• the date of on which shareholders of the Trust (or the Board, if shareholder approval is not required) approve a plan to dissolve or liquidate the Trust;
 
• the date on which transactions contemplated by an agreement to sell or dispose of substantially all of the Trust’s assets are consummated, other than a transaction in which holders of the Trust’s shares just prior to the transaction will have at least 50% of the voting power of the acquiring entity’s voting securities just after the transaction (without regard to such holder’s ownership of the acquiring entity’s voting securities immediately before or contemporaneously with such transaction), which voting securities are to be held by such holders just after the transaction in substantially the same proportion among themselves as just prior to the transaction;
 
• the first date on which (1) transactions contemplated by an agreement to merge or consolidate the Trust with or into another entity (or to merge the other entity with or into the Trust) are consummated, other than a transaction in which holders of the Trust’s shares just prior to the transaction will have at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity’s voting securities just after the transaction (without regard to such holder’s ownership of the acquiring entity’s voting securities immediately before or contemporaneously with such transaction), which voting securities are to be held by such holders just after the transaction in substantially the same proportion among themselves as just prior to the transaction and (2) those who were board members just prior to the merger or consolidation cease to constitute a majority of the Board;
 
• the date on which any entity, person or group (excluding the Trust, any of its subsidiaries, or any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Trust or any of its subsidiaries) has become the beneficial owner of, or has obtained voting control over, more than 20% of the outstanding shares (without regard to any contractual or other restriction on the conversion or other exchange of securities into or for shares); or


27


 

 
• the first day after which a majority of the Board has been a member of the Board for less than two years, unless the nomination for election of each new trustee (who was not a trustee at the beginning of such two-year period) was approved by a vote of at least 2/3 of the trustees then in office who were trustees at the beginning of such period.

Additionally, trustees receive a fee of $1,500 for each Board meeting that such trustee attends in person; however, trustees receive a fee of $500 for teleconference Board meetings if such meetings address only routine matters. Trustees also receive

a fee of $500 for participation in any informational call held to supplement the regularly scheduled Board meetings. Trustees will be entitled to receive a fee of $1,000 for each committee on which they serve, a fee of $1,000 for each committee meeting such trustee attends in person and a fee of $500 for each committee meeting attended by teleconference. The Chair of the Audit Committee receives an additional annual fee of $10,000. The Chairs of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Compensation Committee each receive an additional annual fee of $6,000. Additionally, all trustees are entitled to be reimbursed for travel and lodging expenses associated with attending Board and committee meetings. Trustees who are officers and full-time employees of the Trust are not entitled to receive any separate compensation for service as a trustee or committee member.
 
Pursuant to the Trust’s Amended and Restated Share Incentive Plan, each non-employee trustee is entitled to receive an annual grant of a 10-year option to purchase 5,000 common shares, exercisable at a price equal to the fair market value of the common shares on June 23rd of each year. Such options vest over a three-year period beginning with the date of grant as follows: 20% after the first year; 50% after two years; and 100% after three years.

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
Ernst & Young LLP has audited the Trust’s financial statements since the Trust’s inception. The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees has selected Ernst & Young LLP as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.
 
Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
 
Fees billed to the Trust by Ernst & Young LLP during 2007 and 2006
 
Ernst & Young LLP was the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Certain prior year fee amounts have been adjusted to reflect billing adjustments made subsequent to issuance of the proxy statement for our 2007 annual meeting of shareholders.
 
Audit Fees.  Fees for audit services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $999,761 and $810,900, respectively. These services included (i) the audit of the Trust’s annual financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, (ii) the reviews of the financial statements included in the Trust’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, and (iii) consents and comfort letters issued in connection with debt and equity offerings and registration statements.
 
Audit-Related Fees.  Fees for audit-related services that were reasonably related to the performance of the 2007 and 2006 audits or reviews of the Trust’s financial statements and are not reported under the preceding paragraph totaled $1,500 and $1,500, respectively. These fees were for accounting research software.
 
Tax Fees.  Fees billed to the Trust by Ernst & Young LLP during 2007 and 2006 for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning totaled $114,546 and $35,412, respectively.
 
All Other Fees.  There were no other fees billed to the Trust by Ernst & Young LLP during 2007 or 2006.
 
All audit, audit-related and tax services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by Ernst & Young LLP was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. The Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy provides for (a) general pre-approval of certain specified services and (b) specific pre-approval of all other permitted services, as well as proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels. The policy authorizes the Audit Committee to delegate to one or more of its members’ pre-approval authority with respect to permitted services.
 
For both types of pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee will also consider whether the independent registered public accounting firm is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, for reasons such as its familiarity with the Company’s business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile and other factors, and whether the service might enhance the Company’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality. All such factors will be considered as a whole, and no one factor is necessarily determinative.
 
Shareholder ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required by the Trust’s Bylaws or any other applicable legal requirement. However, the Board of Trustees is submitting the selection of Ernst & Young LLP to the shareholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the shareholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee and the Board of Trustees will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Board of Trustees at its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Trust and the shareholders.


31


 

The Audit Committee has considered whether Ernst & Young LLP’s provision of services other than professional services rendered for the audit and review of the Trust’s annual financial statements is compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young LLP’s independence, and has determined that it is so compatible.
 
Recommendation and Required Vote
 
The Board of Trustees recommends a vote FOR ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. Ratification requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the common shares represented at the Meeting.
 
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
Alan Lingerfelt, the brother of David L. Lingerfelt, one of our trustees, was employed as a Senior Vice President of the Trust in our Richmond, Virginia office through his departure on June 30, 2007. During 2007, he was paid compensation of approximately $301,000 for such services. All share options and restricted shares included in his compensation for 2007 were forfeited when his employment terminated.
 
POLICY FOR APPROVING RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
Our Codes of Conduct for Trustees and for Executive Officers mandate that officers and trustees bring promptly to the attention of our General Counsel any transaction or series of transactions that may result in a conflict of interest between that person and the Trust. Following any disclosure, our General Counsel will then review with the Chairman of our Audit Committee the relevant facts disclosed by the officer or trustee in question. After this review, the Chairman of the Audit Committee and the General Counsel determine whether the matter should be brought to the Audit Committee or the full Board of Trustees for approval. In considering any such transaction, the Audit Committee or the Board of Trustees, as the case may be, will consider various relevant factors, including, among others, the reasoning for the Trust to engage in the transaction, whether the terms of the transaction are arm’s length and the overall fairness of the transaction to the Company. If a member of the Audit Committee or the Board is involved in the transaction, he or she will not participate in any of the discussions or decisions about the transaction. The transaction must be approved in advance whenever practicable, and if not practicable, must be ratified as promptly as practicable.
