(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or consolidated pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes, however, that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. In management’s opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows, are included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
(a) Basis of Accounting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
(b) Principles of Consolidation
The Company consolidates its accounts and the accounts of its majority-owned and controlled Operating Partnership and reflects the remaining interest in the Operating Partnership as minority interest. The Operating Partnership holds and consolidates its majority or controlling interests in the other partnerships and reflects the remaining ownership interests within minority interest.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation (FIN) No. 46R (FIN 46R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN 46R addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity through means other than voting rights and whether it should consolidate the entity. The Company has adopted FIN 46R and analyzed the applicability of this interpretation to its investments. The Company has an interest in one variable interest entity and includes the accounts of this entity in the consolidated financial statements as the Company is the primary beneficiary of this entity.
We account for the investment in a joint venture using the equity method of accounting. The Company has evaluated its investment in the joint venture and has concluded that it is not a variable interest entity as defined by FIN 46R. The Company does not control the joint venture, since all major decisions of the partnership, such as the sale, refinancing, expansion or rehabilitation of any property, require the approval of all partners and voting rights and the sharing of profits and losses are in proportion to the ownership percentages of each partner. This investment was recorded initially at the Company’s cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of net equity in income (loss) and will be adjusted for cash contributions and distributions.

(In thousands, except unit and share, per share and building data)
(c) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes significant estimates regarding revenue recognition, investments in real estate, purchase price allocations and derivative financial instruments and hedging activities.
(d) Reclassifications
Certain amounts have been reclassified in the prior periods to conform to the current period presentation.
(e) Real Estate Investments
The Company records acquired real estate at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straightline method over the estimated useful life of 40 years for buildings, five to ten years for building equipment and fixtures, and the lesser of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests. Maintenance and repairs expenditures are charged to expense as incurred.
In leasing office space, the Company may provide funding to the lessee through a tenant allowance. In accounting for tenant allowances, the Company determines whether the allowance represents funding for the construction of leasehold improvements and evaluates the ownership, for accounting purposes, of such improvements. If the Company is considered the owner of the leasehold improvements for accounting purposes, the Company capitalizes the amount of the tenant allowance and depreciates it over the shorter of the useful life of the leasehold improvements or the lease term. If the tenant allowance represents a payment for a purpose other than funding leasehold improvements, or in the event the Company is not considered the owner of the improvements for accounting purposes, the allowance is considered to be a lease incentive and is recognized over the lease term as a reduction of rental revenue. Factors considered during this evaluation usually include (i) who holds legal title to the improvements, (ii) evidentiary requirements concerning the spending of the tenant allowance, and (iii) other controlling rights provided by the lease agreement (e.g. unilateral control of the tenant space during the build-out process). Determination of the accounting for a tenant allowance is made on a case-by-case basis, considering the facts and circumstances of the individual tenant lease.
(f) Impairment of Long Lived Assets
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which establishes a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144 requires that the operations related to properties that have been sold or properties that are intended to be sold be presented as discontinued operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented, and properties intended to be sold to be designated as “held for sale” on the balance sheet.
The Company reviews the recoverability of the property’s carrying value, when circumstances indicate a possible impairment of the value of a property. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used and fair value less estimated cost to dispose for assets held for sale. These assessments have a direct impact on net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income.

(g) Intangible Assets
Pursuant to SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” the Company follows the purchase method of accounting for all business combinations. To ensure that intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a purchase method business combination should be recognized and reported apart from goodwill, the Company ensures that the applicable criteria specified in SFAS No. 141 are met.
The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets include land, buildings on an as-if vacant basis, equipment and tenant improvements. The Company utilizes various estimates, processes and information to determine the as-if vacant property value. Estimates of value are made using customary methods, including data from appraisals, comparable sales, discounted cash flow analysis and other methods. Identifiable intangible assets include amounts allocated to acquired leases for above- and below-market lease rates, the value of in-place leases, and the value of customer relationships.
Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for properties acquired are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amount to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and management’s estimate of the fair market lease rate for each such in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term and any fixed-rate renewal periods in the respective leases.
The aggregate value of intangible assets related to in-place leases is primarily the difference between the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and the property valued as-if vacant. Factors considered by management in its analysis of the in-place lease intangibles include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up period for each property taking into account current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up period, which primarily ranges from six to 18 months. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
The aggregate value of intangibles related to customer relationships is measured based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the tenant. Characteristics considered by management in determining these values include the nature and extent of the Company’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors.
The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the initial term of the respective leases, which range from two to 20 years. The value of customer relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. If a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles is charged to expense.

In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, management utilizes a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data. Management also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, as well as subsequent marketing and leasing activities, in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and intangible liabilities assumed. Intangible assets consist of the following:
                 
    September 30,     December 31,  
    2006     2005  
Intangible assets:
               
In-place leases, net of accumulated amortization of $53,628 and $38,037
  $ 274,086     $ 315,685  
Customer relationships, net of accumulated amortization of $27,249 and $20,647
    315,883       342,656  
Above-market leases, net of accumulated amortization of $12,161 and $8,868
    15,957       19,355  
Goodwill
    700       700  
Amounts related to assets held for sale, net of accumulated amortization of $20,248 and $3,183
    (217,664 )     (35,929 )
 
           
Total intangible assets
  $ 388,962     $ 642,467  
 
           
Intangible liabilities:
               
Below-market leases, net of accumulated amortization of $12,475 and $8,969
  $ 65,051     $ 67,790  
Amounts related to liabilities held for sale, net of accumulated amortization of $1,480 and $57
    (4,039 )     (177 )
 
           
Total intangible liabilities
  $ 61,012     $ 67,613  
 
           
During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company discovered that certain depreciable assets, primarily intangible assets, were being amortized over the improper useful lives. Had the Company recorded amortization expense utilizing the proper useful lives, net loss would have been increased by $240, $448 and $531 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The adjustments represent 0.5%, 2.0% and 2.8% of net loss and $0.00, $0.01 and $0.01 of net loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company has evaluated the impact of these adjustments and concluded that it is not significant to the financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and the interim periods during years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company recorded $1,219 of additional amortization expense to adjust accumulated amortization to the proper balances.
(h) Accounting for Derivative Financial Investments and Hedging Activities
The Company uses derivatives to hedge, fix and cap interest rate risk and accounts for its derivative and hedging activities using SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, which requires all derivative instruments to be carried at fair value on the balance sheet.
Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. The Company only engages in cash flow hedges.
Under cash flow hedges, derivative gains and losses not considered highly effective in hedging the change in expected cash flows of the hedged item are recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of operations. For hedge transactions that do not qualify for the short-cut method, at the hedge’s inception and on a regular basis thereafter, a formal assessment is performed to determine whether changes in the fair values or cash flows of the derivative instruments have been highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items and whether they are expected to be highly effective in the future. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction. Cash flow hedges that are considered highly effective are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity. Amounts are reclassified from other comprehensive income to the statements of operations in the period or periods the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

(i) Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is recorded in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income, changes in unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities. Since February 2003, the Company has been entering into derivative agreements to hedge the variability of cash flows related to forecasted interest payments associated with obtaining certain financings in order to fix interest rates and maintain expected returns. The Company incurs a loss on derivative agreements, if interest rates decline, or a gain if interest rates rise, during the period between the derivative inception date and derivative settlement date. Unrealized gains and losses on derivatives are amortized into interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the life of the underlying debt. Comprehensive income (loss), net of minority interest, was losses of $55,970 and $19,182 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and losses of $64,158 and $66,557 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
(j) Revenue Recognition
Rental income from leases is recognized on a straightline basis regardless of when payments are due. Certain lease agreements also contain provisions that require tenants to reimburse the Company for real estate taxes, common area maintenance costs and the amortized cost of capital expenditures with interest. Such amounts are included in both revenues and operating expenses when the Company is the primary obligor for these expenses and assumes the risks and rewards of a principal under these arrangements. Under leases where the tenant pays these expenses directly, such amounts are not included in revenues or expenses.
Deferred revenue represents rental revenue and management fees received prior to the date earned. Deferred revenue also includes rental payments received in excess of rental revenues recognized as a result of straightline basis accounting.
Other income includes fees paid by tenants to terminate their leases, which are recognized when fees due are determinable, no further actions or services are required to be performed by the Company, and collectibility is reasonably assured. In the event of early termination, the unrecoverable net book values of the assets or liabilities related to the terminated tenant are recognized as depreciation and amortization expense in the period of termination.
(k) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FIN 46R-6, “Determining the Variability to Be Considered in Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” (FSP FIN 46R-6). This FSP addresses certain implementation issues related to FIN 46R. Specifically, FSP FIN 46R-6 addresses how a reporting enterprise should determine the variability to be considered in applying FIN 46R. The variability that is considered in applying FIN 46R affects the determination of (i) whether an entity is a variable interest entity (VIE), (ii) which interests are “variable interests” in the entity, and (iii) which party, if any, is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. That variability affects any calculation of expected losses and expected residual returns, if such a calculation is necessary. The Company is required to apply the guidance in FSP FIN 46R-6 prospectively to all entities (including newly created entities) and to all entities previously required to be analyzed under FIN 46R when a “reconsideration event” has occurred, beginning July 1, 2006. The Company evaluates the impact of FSP FIN 46R-6 at the time any such “reconsideration event” occurs, and for any new entities, as applicable.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” which defines a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this Interpretation, but does not believe it will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the SEC’s staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108 “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” This Bulletin provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. The guidance in this Bulletin must be applied to financial reports covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of this Bulletin, but does not believe it will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Also in September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies to accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, except for share-based payments transactions under SFAS No. 123. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements or remeasurements of previously computed fair values, the Company does not believe adoption of this Statement will have a material effect on its financial statements.
(3) Acquisitions and Dispositions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company acquired 115 and 209 properties and leasehold interests, respectively. In addition, the Company purchased 9 parcels of land designated as land held for development during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

(4) Indebtedness
The Company had several types of financings in place as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 (totaling $3,088,350 and $3,318,684, respectively), which included mortgage notes payable, a secured credit facility, convertible senior notes and an unsecured credit facility. The weighted average effective interest rate on these borrowings, excluding yield maintenance charges, was 6.06% and 5.90% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and 6.15% and 5.54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The fair value of these borrowings, calculated by comparing the outstanding debt to debt with similar terms at current interest rates, was $3,018,873 and $3,289,984 as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
The Company’s secured and unsecured financing agreements contain various financial and non-financial covenants that are customarily found in these types of agreements. As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, no event of default conditions existed under any of the Company’s secured or unsecured financings.
The Company’s mortgage notes payable typically require that specified loan-to-value and debt service coverage ratios be maintained with respect to the financed properties before the Company can exercise certain rights under the loan agreements relating to such properties. If the specified criteria are not satisfied, in addition to other conditions that the Company may have to observe, the Company’s ability to release properties from the financing may be restricted and the lender may be able to “trap” portfolio cash flow until the required ratios are met on an ongoing basis. As of September 30, 2006, the Company was out of debt service coverage compliance under two of its mortgage note financings, although such non-compliance does not, and will not, constitute an event of default under the applicable loan agreement. Subsequent to September 30, 2006, the Company has resolved the coverage obligation under one of these mortgage notes.

The Company’s secured credit facility permits the lender to require partial repayment of a property advance if such advance remains outstanding for more than 12 months, and full repayment if such advance remains outstanding for more than 18 months. In addition, the facility agreement permits the lender to require mandatory repayments to the extent necessary to reduce outstanding facility advances to current market levels following adverse changes in commercial loan underwriting conditions. No such payments were required during this period.
The Company’s unsecured credit facility contains customary financial covenants, including a minimum debt service coverage ratio for the Company of 1.2 to 1.0. This facility also includes maximum levels of i) indebtedness as a percentage of the Company’s total assets of 70%, ii) secured recourse debt as a percentage of the Company’s total assets of 5%, iii) investment in any non-wholly owned entity as a percentage of the Company’s total assets of 20% and iv) investment in any mortgages, notes, accounts receivable, or notes receivable as a percentage of the Company’s total assets of 15%.
(a) Mortgage notes payable
The following is a summary of mortgage notes payable as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005:

Mortgage notes payable related to assets held for sale
    5       (233,689 )            
 
                       
Balance, December 31, 2005
    705     $ 2,467,596              
 
                       
 
(1)   Includes $30,010 of debt that is collateralized by $31,267 of pledged treasury securities, net of discounts and premiums.
 
(2)   Includes $152,510 and $155,126 of debt at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, that relates to the proportionate share of the 30% minority
interest holder in State Street Financial Center and the 11% minority interest holder in 801 Market Street.
 
(3)   Includes $15,000 of debt that relates to the proportionate share of the 30% minority interest holder in State Street Financial Center.
In three separate transactions in June, July and September 2006, we defeased a total of $30,010 of debt secured by several properties that were part of our Bank of America portfolio acquired in 2003. We defeased these properties in order to unencumber them prior to their disposal. In connection with these defeasances, we purchased Treasury securities sufficient to satisfy the scheduled interest and principal payments contractually due under the respective loan agreements. The cash flow from these securities has interest and maturities that coincide with the scheduled debt service payments of the mortgage notes and ultimate payment of principal. The Treasury securities were then substituted for the properties that originally served as collateral for the loan. These securities were placed into a collateral account for the sole purpose of funding the principal and interest payments when due. The indebtedness remains on our consolidated balance sheet as it was not an extinguishment of the debt and the securities are recorded as Pledged treasury securities, net on our consolidated balance sheet.
(b) Secured credit facility
The Company has a $400,000 secured credit facility, which expires in October 2008. Advances under this facility must be repaid within 18 months of the date of the borrowing, unless the borrowing is renewed for incremental periods of 18 months. Advances are made in the aggregate principal amount of up to 80% of the lesser of either (i) the maximum amount of subsequent debt financing that can be secured by the properties that the Company acquires with borrowings under this facility or (ii) the acquisition cost of such properties. This facility bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus either (i) with respect to conduit properties, 1.75%, or (ii) with respect to credit tenant lease properties, an amount, ranging from 1.25% to 2.50%, based on the credit rating of the tenant(s) occupying the property being financed by the proceeds of the specific advance.
As of September 30, 2006, the Company had $279,191 of advances outstanding under this facility, secured by 235 properties, with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% (7.08% at September 30, 2006). As of December 31, 2005, the Company had $171,265 of advances outstanding under this facility, secured by 184 properties, with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% (6.11% at December 31, 2005).

(c) Convertible senior notes
In 2004, the Company completed, through a private offering, the issuance of $450,000 of convertible senior notes and received proceeds of $434,030, net of discount and financing costs. The convertible senior notes are senior unsecured obligations, mature on July 9, 2024 and bear interest at a rate of 4.375%.
The Company cannot redeem the convertible notes before July 20, 2009. All or a portion of the notes can be redeemed by the Company at any time after July 20, 2009 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption. The note holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their respective notes on July 15, 2009, 2014 and 2019 for a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, payable in cash. The note holders are entitled to convert the notes into common shares prior to their maturity date if, among other circumstances, the closing sale price of the Company’s common shares for at least 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days (ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter preceding the quarter in which the conversion occurs) is more than 120% of the applicable conversion price on the 30th trading day. As of the initial closing of the offering of the notes on July 9, 2004, the initial conversion price per share was $17.84, which is subject to adjustment upon certain events, including, but not limited to, the issuance to all holders of common shares of (i) additional common shares as a dividend, (ii) certain rights, warrants or options entitling them to subscribe for, or purchase common shares, or (iii) cash dividends or cash distributions exceeding $0.25 per quarter. As a result of the Company declaring dividends exceeding $0.25, the conversion price per share was adjusted immediately after each record date. As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the conversion price per share was $17.65 and $17.74, respectively. On September 18, 2006, the Company declared a dividend of $0.19 for shareholders of recorded as of September 30, 2006. Accordingly, there was no adjustment to the conversion price per share during the three months ended September 30, 2006.
In October 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB ratified Issue No. 04-8, “Accounting Issues Related to Certain Features of Contingently Convertible Debt and the Effects on Diluted Earnings per Share” (EITF Issue No. 04-8). EITF Issue No. 04-8 requires the inclusion of convertible shares for contingently convertible debt in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, regardless of whether the contingency has been met. In response to EITF Issue No. 04-8, the Company entered into a Second Supplemental Indenture to the Indenture for the convertible senior notes pursuant to which it irrevocably elected to satisfy the conversion obligation with respect to the principal amount of any notes surrendered for conversion with cash. As a result of this election, EITF Issue No. 04-8 requires the Company to include in its calculation of diluted earnings per share only those common shares issuable in satisfaction of the aggregate conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of notes outstanding. The inclusion of any such shares would cause a reduction in the Company’s diluted earnings per share for any periods in which such shares are included. Volatility in the Company’s share price could cause such common shares to be included in the Company’s diluted earnings per share calculation in one quarter and not in a subsequent quarter, thereby increasing the volatility of the Company’s fully diluted earnings per share. As a result of applying EITF Issue No. 04-8, no shares have been included in the calculation of earnings per share.

(d) Unsecured Credit Facility
The Company maintains a $60,000 unsecured credit facility for general corporate purposes, established in September 2004. This facility bears interest at different rates depending upon the Company’s designation at the time of borrowing of the advance as a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan. If the Company designates the advance as a Eurodollar Rate Loan then the advance bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.0%. If the Company designates the advance as a Base Rate Loan then the advance bears interest at the greater of (i) the Prime Rate plus 1.0%, or (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.5%. In May 2006, the Company executed an extension of this facility for a period of one year, beginning on September 30, 2006. The terms of this renewal will reduce the current spread on Eurodollar Rate Loans from LIBOR plus 2.0% to LIBOR plus 1.7% and increase the letter of credit fee amount from 0.8% to 1.7%. These changes became effective at the start of the one year renewal period on September 30, 2006.
The unsecured credit facility maintains a $60,000 sub-limit for letters of credit. In June 2006, the facility was amended to permit cash collateralized letters of credit in excess of this sub-limit. As a result, at September 30, 2006, the Company had $65,269 of letters of credit outstanding consisting of $59,165 of unsecured letters of credit and $6,104 of cash collateralized letters of credit. There were no advances under this facility as of September 30, 2006. At December 31, 2005, the Company had $56,353 of unsecured letters of credit outstanding and no advances under this facility. These letters of credit are primarily used to secure payments under leasehold interests and are issued to utility companies in lieu of a cash security deposits to establish service.
(5) Derivative Instruments and Other Financing Arrangements
Since February 2003, the Company has been entering into derivative agreements to hedge the variability of cash flows related to forecasted interest payments associated with obtaining certain financings in order to fix interest rates and maintain expected returns. The Company incurs a loss on derivative agreements, if interest rates decline, or a gain if interest rates rise, during the period between the derivative inception date and derivative settlement date. Since February 2003, the Company has incurred a net loss aggregating $11,464 relating to terminating these agreements in connection with the closing of the respective financings. These losses have been recorded in other comprehensive income. The largest loss incurred of $12,895 was related to the derivative associated with the financing of the Bank of America, N.A. portfolio acquired in June 2003.
During the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company reclassified approximately $227 and $348 of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company reclassified approximately $2,043 and $1,183 of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense, respectively. Over the next 12 months, the Company expects to reclassify $867 to interest expense as the underlying hedged items affect earnings, such as when the forecasted interest payments occur.
(6) Shareholders’ Equity
On September 18, 2006, the Company declared a dividend to shareholders and a distribution to Operating Partnership unit holders. The Company paid a dividend of $0.19 per common share, totaling $24,771, on October 20, 2006 to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2006. In addition, the Operating Partnership simultaneously paid a distribution of $0.19 per Operating Partnership unit, totaling $562.
On June 19, 2006, the Company declared a dividend to shareholders and a distribution to Operating Partnership unit holders. The Company paid a dividend of $0.27 per common share, totaling $34,968, on July 21, 2006 to shareholders of record as of July 1, 2006. In addition, the Operating Partnership simultaneously paid a distribution of $0.27 per Operating Partnership unit, totaling $908.
On March 29, 2006, the Company declared a dividend to shareholders and a distribution to Operating Partnership unit holders. The Company paid a dividend of $0.27 per common share, totaling $34,961, on April 21, 2006 to shareholders of record as of April 8, 2006. In addition, the Operating Partnership simultaneously paid a distribution of $0.27 per Operating Partnership unit, totaling $921.

(7) Stock-based Compensation
The Company established the 2002 Equity Incentive Plan (Incentive Plan) that authorized the issuance of options to purchase up to 3,125,000 common shares and up to 1,500,000 restricted shares. The Incentive Plan was amended in 2003 to allow for the issuance of an aggregate of 11,375,000 common shares and common share equivalents. The terms and conditions of the option awards are determined by the board of trustees. Options are granted at the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. Options vest at the rate of 33.33% per year for trustees and 25% on the first anniversary of the date of issuance and 6.25% at the end of each quarter thereafter for employees. The options vest and are exercisable over periods determined by the Company, but in no event later than 10 years from the grant date.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payments” (SFAS No. 123R). Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” As a result, the Company did not recognize compensation expense in the statement of operations for options granted for the periods prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R. As required by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS No. 123), the Company provided certain pro forma disclosures for stock-based compensation as if the fair-value-based approach of SFAS No. 123 had been applied.
The Company elected to use the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS No. 123R and therefore has not restated the financial results for prior periods. Under this transition method, the Company will apply the provisions of SFAS No. 123R to new options granted or cancelled after December 31, 2005. Additionally, the Company will recognize compensation cost for the portion of options for which the requisite service has not been rendered (unvested) that are outstanding as of December 31, 2005, on a straight-line basis over the remaining service period. The compensation cost the Company records for these options will be based on their grant-date fair value as calculated for the pro forma disclosures required by SFAS No. 123.
Amortization of deferred equity compensation, which represents stock-based employee compensation costs, was $2,080 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, associated with restricted stock grants. Amortization of deferred equity compensation was $7,402 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, including $7,356 and $46 associated with restricted stock grants and option grants, respectively. In addition, accelerated amortization of deferred equity compensation related to severance costs of $4,344 was expensed in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. Amortization of deferred equity compensation was $2,528 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, solely related to restricted stock grants. Amortization of deferred equity compensation was $11,104 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, solely related to restricted share grants, including accelerated amortization related to severance costs of $3,026.
The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and basic and diluted loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to all share-based employee compensation and recognized compensation costs in its financial statements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005:

    188,187     6.6 years   $ 12.96       176,938     $ 12.23  
The weighted average fair value of each option granted ranges from $0.19 to $0.33 and was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes options pricing model using the following assumptions:
         
Expected life (in years)
    5  
Risk-free interest rate
  3.25% to 4.21%
Volatility
    10.00 %
Dividend yield
    7.50 %
These assumptions, determined upon issuance of such stock options, were utilized in the calculation of the compensation expense noted above. This expense is the result of vesting of previously granted stock awards. No stock options were granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
The intrinsic value of both options outstanding and options exercisable at September 30, 2006 was $1,881 and $1,881 respectively. Intrinsic value represents the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period, which was $11.16 as of September 29, 2006, and the exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding. The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $3 and $167 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $237 and $1,003 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had approximately $11 of unrecognized compensation costs related to options outstanding. The Company expects to recognize these costs over a weighted average period of 9 months.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company issued 1,065,430 restricted common shares to employees, executive officers and board trustees. These grants, valued at $12,331, are amortized to expense over a three or four year service period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, 847,645 restricted stock grants vested, with an aggregate fair value of $9,479 on the vesting date. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had approximately $12,734 of unrecognized compensation costs related to total issued and outstanding restricted stock grants. The Company expects to recognize these costs over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.

The Company adopted the 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) effective January 1, 2006, which succeeds the 2003 Outperformance Plan. The LTIP is a long-term, performance-based plan, using the growth in funds from operations (FFO), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, after adding back impairments recognized on properties. Under the LTIP, an aggregate of 4,800,000 common shares may be issued to senior executives under our 2002 Equity Incentive Plan. As of September 30, 2006, 1,512,000 target units were allocated to LTIP participants.
Upon the achievement of certain FFO thresholds, as defined under the LTIP, and upon the occurrence of certain other events as more fully set forth in the LTIP, target units are earned and converted into restricted shares, subject to certain vesting criteria. Vested restricted shares are not transferred to the participant until the end of the LTIP, or December 31, 2012. The Company makes certain estimates as it relates to the probability of reaching the required FFO thresholds and records an accrual based on this assessment. As of September 30, 2006, no accrual was recorded.
In July 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party advisor to assist the Company with bank use real estate acquisition sourcing activities. In connection with entering into this agreement, the Company issued the advisor an unvested warrant to purchase 100,000 common shares of beneficial interest. Provided the agreement is still in effect, on each of first, second, third and fourth anniversary of this sourcing agreement, the Company will grant the advisor additional unvested warrants to purchase 100,000 common shares of beneficial interest. The purchase price of each warrant is equal to the closing common share price of the Company on the date of the respective grant. The advisor will earn, or vest in, each warrant if they successfully source acquisition transactions, as defined within the agreement, equal to $100,000. The right to vest in each warrant is cumulative; however, no warrant will be issued in advance of an anniversary date. The advisor must source and the Company must close transactions equal to $500,000 to vest all of the warrants. The Company will recognize this cost, to the extent the warrants are earned, and capitalize such expense as acquisition related costs relating to the respective transactions. A fair value pricing model, such as Black-Scholes, will be utilized to value the warrant when earned.

Diluted income (loss) per share assumes the conversion of all common share equivalents into an equivalent number of common shares, if the effect is dilutive. The Company uses income (loss) from continuing operations to determine whether common share equivalents are dilutive or antidilutive. Therefore, since common share equivalents are antidilutive to continuing operations per share, common share equivalents are not used to compute discontinued operations or net income (loss) per share amounts, even though common share equivalents would be dilutive. The following share options and unvested restricted shares, both computed under the treasury stock method, and the weighted average Operating Partnership units were excluded from the diluted loss per share computations as their effect would have been antidilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005:

(9) Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Company separately classifies properties held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations. In the normal course of business, changes in the market may compel the Company to decide to classify a property as held for sale or reclassify a property that is designated as held for sale back to held for investment. In these situations, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, the property is transferred to held for sale or back to held for investment at the lesser of fair value or depreciated cost. Properties classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2006 are classified as such in the consolidated statement of operations for all periods presented for purposes of comparability.
During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company sold 38 and 103 properties, in separate transactions, for net sales proceeds of $70,858 and $506,025, respectively. The sales transactions resulted in a net gain of $11,227 and $81,093 after minority interest of $255 and $1,841, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, which was reported in discontinued operations.
The Company generally disposes of properties within its taxable REIT subsidiary. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $572 during the three months ended September 30, 2006 due to the application of a net operating loss carry back that originated from changes in estimates used in the 2005 provision analysis that were revised upon the filing of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary’s 2005 tax return. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $981 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 which is comprised of a $1,553 tax provision related to the taxable income in the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary which was primarily generated from the sales of properties, offset by an income tax benefit of $572 recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2006 due to the application of the net operating loss carry back previously described. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, there were one and six properties that were not sold through the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary, which resulted in net gains of $490 and $57,358, respectively.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company sold 10 and 29 properties, in separate transactions, and 2 and 50 properties in bulk transactions, for net sales proceeds of $9,113 and $67,733, respectively. The sales transactions resulted in a net gain of $1,678 and $6,352, after minority interest of $42 and $158 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. An income tax provision was not required for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 as dispositions of properties yielded a taxable loss in the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update publicly any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Overview
We are a self-administered, self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust, or REIT. We are focused primarily on acquiring and operating properties leased to regulated financial institutions. We believe banks will divest of their corporate real estate, in order to enhance operating performance. We also believe that our contractual relationships, with large national banks, our growing visibility within the banking industry and the flexible acquisition and lease structures we can offer financial institutions positions us for continued growth. We seek to lease our properties to banks and financial institutions, generally using long-term triple net or bond net leases, resulting in stable risk-adjusted returns on our capital. We lease space not occupied by financial institutions to other third party tenants at market terms.
We believe that our competitive advantage over traditional real estate companies is our ability to provide banks and other financial institutions with operational flexibility and the benefits of reduced real estate exposure. We seek to become the preferred landlord of leading banks and other financial institutions through the development of mutually beneficial relationships and by offering flexible acquisition structures and lease terms. We believe that financial institutions enjoy our long-term relationship oriented business strategy rather than undergoing a competitive, selective bidding process with multiple real estate companies. Transactions involving Bank of America, N.A., Wachovia Bank, N.A., Citizens Financial Group, Inc. and Regions Financial Corporation demonstrate our ability to cultivate and maintain mutually beneficial relationships with leading financial institutions.
As of September 30, 2006 we owned or held leasehold interests in 1,135 properties located in 38 states and Washington, D.C., including 679 bank branches, 432 office buildings and 24 land parcels containing an aggregate of approximately 34.5 million rentable square feet. In addition, we own 239 retail bank branches comprising of 975,000 square feet in 11 states in an unconsolidated joint venture. This investment was recorded initially at the Company’s cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share, 25.2%, of equity in income or loss and will be adjusted for cash contributions and distributions.
Acquisitions
During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we acquired interests in 42 properties, containing an aggregate of approximately 202,000 square feet, for a total net purchase price of $27.2 million. The majority of these properties were purchased under the terms of existing formulated price contracts.
Dispositions
During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company generated $75.8 million of net proceeds from the disposition of 42 properties comprising approximately 914,000 square feet and 7 vacant land parcels. Included in these dispositions were 23 branch properties with an average occupancy rate of 38.5% and 19 office properties with an average occupancy rate of 62.1%.
Financings
During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company increased advances under its secured credit facility by $57.9 million through utilizing capacity available from existing properties and properties recently acquired. Included in these advances was $25.0 million secured by One Montgomery in San Francisco, California, which had been subject to a $19.0 million mortgage that reached maturity in June of 2006. This was partially offset by $2.4 million in advances repaid relating to properties sold during the period. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had $279.2 million of advances outstanding from the secured credit facility and $120.8 million of additional, uncollateralized availability under this facility.

The Company paid down $5.3 million of mortgage principal in connection with the extension of the short-term bridge facility secured by One Citizens Plaza in Providence, Rhode Island, One Colonial Place in Glen Allen, Virginia, and Bank of Oklahoma in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. In July 2006, the short-term bridge facility was extended to late August 2006 and was subsequently extended until October 31. In October 2006 the short-term bridge facility for these two properties was extended until December 29, 2006, contingent upon executing in November 2006 a loan application for the refinancing of these two properties with the lender currently providing the short-term bridge facility. The third property is currently being evaluated as an asset which may be either sold or refinanced. In October 2006 the short-term bridge facility for this property was extended until January 31, 2007, contingent upon the extension of the other two properties.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, in October 2006 the mezzanine loan secured by One Lincoln Street in Boston, Massachusetts was amended with the current lender to extend the interest-only period from October 11, 2006 to October 11, 2007 and to extend the maturity date from July 11, 2013 to February 11, 2015. In addition, the loan’s interest rate during the interest-only period was amended from LIBOR plus 1.834% to LIBOR plus 1.25% and the fixed interest rate, in effect after the expiration of the interest-only period on October 11, 2007, was amended from 9.75% to 12.00%. The loans was also amended to allow for the prepayment of the loan during the interest-only period without penalty.
Portfolio Review
Summarized in the table below are our key portfolio statistics. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, occupancy increased as a result of net leasing activity, while other portfolio statistics decreased due to the recapture of approximately 108,000 square feet of scheduled short-term space occupied by bank tenants. Over the upcoming periods, we expect that our occupancy will increase through the lease-up of core properties to non-financial tenants and the disposal of non-core properties, which will decrease other ratios.

     We intend to continue our strategy of acquiring high quality properties through a combination of sale leaseback transactions, specifically tailored transactions, landlord of choice transactions and through our formulated price contracts, and to finance our acquisitions with a combination of equity and debt. We expect to arrange long-term financing on both a secured and unsecured fixed rate basis. We intend to continue to grow our existing relationships and develop new relationships throughout the banking industry, which we expect will lead to further acquisition opportunities. We will also continue to dispose of non-core properties that do not meet our continuing portfolio objectives.
Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies
Set forth below is a summary of the significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies that management believes are important to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Certain of our accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty. These significant accounting estimates include:
Revenue Recognition
Our revenues, which are derived primarily from rental income, include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of each lease reported on a straightline basis over the initial term of the lease. Since many of ourleases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, straightline basis accounting requires us to record a receivable, and include in revenues, unbilled rent receivables that we will only receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. Revenues also include income related to tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance expenses and certain other recoverable expenses that are recognized as revenue in the period in which the related expenses are incurred.
We continually review receivables related to rent, tenant reimbursements and unbilled rent receivables and determine collectibility by taking into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectibility of a

27 of 63


Table of Contents

receivable is in doubt, we record an increase in our allowance for uncollectible accounts or record a direct write-off of the receivable in our consolidated statements of operations.
Investments in Real Estate
Investments in real estate are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation is computed using the straightline method over the estimated useful life of up to 40 years for buildings and improvements, five to ten years for equipment and fixtures and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.
We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis with respect to our investments in real estate. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income because if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our investments in real estate we would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis.
We follow Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which established a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets including discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 requires that the operations related to properties that have been sold or properties that are intended to be sold be presented as discontinued operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented, and properties intended to be sold to be designated as “held for sale” on the balance sheet.
Based on the occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances, we review the recoverability of the property’s carrying value. Such events or changes in circumstances include the following:
    a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset;
 
    a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used or in its physical condition;
 
    a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset, including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator;
 
    an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset; and
 
    a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset.
We review our portfolio on an on-going basis to evaluate the existence of any of the aforementioned events or changes in circumstances that would require us to test for recoverability. In general, our review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value expected, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of our investments in real estate. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income.
Purchase Price Allocation
Pursuant to SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” we follow the purchase method of accounting for all business combinations. To ensure that intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a purchase method business combination can be recognized and reported apart from goodwill, we ensure that the applicable criteria specified in SFAS No. 141 are met.
We allocate the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets include land, buildings, equipment and tenant improvements on an as-if vacant basis. We utilize various estimates, processes and information to determine the as-if vacant property value. Estimates of value are made using customary methods, including data from appraisals, comparable sales, discounted cash flow analysis and other methods. Identifiable intangible assets include amounts allocated to acquired leases for above- and below-market lease rates, the value of in-place leases, and the value of customer relationships.

28 of 63


Table of Contents

Amounts allocated to land, buildings, equipment and fixtures are based on cost segregation studies performed by independent third-parties or on our analysis of comparable properties in our portfolio. Depreciation is computed using the straightline method over the estimated life of 40 years for buildings, five to ten years for building equipment and fixtures, and the lesser of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements.
Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for owned properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term and any fixed-rate renewal periods in the respective leases.
The aggregate value of intangible assets related to in-place leases is primarily the difference between the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and the property valued as if vacant. Factors considered by us in our analysis of the in-place lease intangibles include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up period for each property, taking into account current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up period, which typically ranges from six to 18 months. We also estimate costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
The aggregate value of intangibles assets related to customer relationship is measured based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the tenant. Characteristics considered by us in determining these values include the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors.
The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the initial term of the respective leases, which range primarily from two to 20 years. The value of customer relationship intangibles is amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. If a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles is charged to expense.
In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, we utilize a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data. We also consider information obtained about each property as a result of our pre-acquisition due diligence, as well as subsequent marketing and leasing activities, in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and intangible liabilities assumed. The allocations presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are substantially complete; however, there are certain items that we will finalize once we receive additional information. Accordingly, these allocations are subject to revision when final information is available, although we do not expect future revisions to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Accounting for Derivative Financial Investments and Hedging Activities
We use derivatives to hedge, fix and cap interest rate risk and we account for our derivative and hedging activities using SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, which requires all derivative instruments to be carried at fair value on the balance sheet. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking each hedge transaction. Cash flow hedges that are considered highly effective are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity. Amounts are reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statements in the period or periods the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges under SFAS No. 133.
Under cash flow hedges, derivative gains and losses not considered highly effective in hedging the change in expected cash flows of the hedged item are recognized immediately in the income statement. For hedge transactions that do not qualify for the short-cut method, at the hedge’s inception and on a regular basis thereafter, a formal assessment is performed to determine whether changes in the fair values or cash flows of the derivative instruments have been highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items and whether they are expected to be highly effective in the future.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FIN 46R-6, “Determining the Variability to Be Considered in Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” (FSP FIN 46R-6). This FSP addresses certain implementation issues related to FIN 46R. Specifically, FSP FIN 46R-6 addresses how a reporting enterprise should determine the variability to be considered in applying FIN 46R. The variability that is considered in applying FIN 46R affects the determination of (i) whether an entity is a variable interest entity (VIE), (ii) which interests are “variable interests” in the entity, and (iii) which party, if any, is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. That variability affects any calculation of expected losses and expected residual returns, if such a calculation is necessary. We are required to apply the guidance in FSP FIN 46R-6 prospectively to all entities (including newly created entities) and to all entities previously required to be analyzed under FIN 46R when a “reconsideration event” has occurred, beginning July 1, 2006. The Company evaluates the impact of FSP FIN 46R-6 at the time any such “reconsideration event” occurs, and for any new entities, as applicable.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” which defines a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the effect of this Interpretation, but we do not believe it will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the SEC’s staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108 “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” This Bulletin provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. The guidance in this Bulletin must be applied to financial reports covering the first fiscal year ending November 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of The Bulletin, but does not believe it will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
Also in September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies to accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, except for share-based payments transactions under SFAS No. 123. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements or remeasurements of previously computed fair values, the Company does not believe adoption of this Statement will have a material effect on its financial statements.

Rental Revenue
Rental income increased $10.4 million, or 15.9%, to $75.9 million for the three months September 30, 2006 from $65.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. This increase is primarily related to an increase in rental revenue from Acquisitions which increased $9.0 million compared for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This increase in rental revenue from Acquisitions includes a full quarter of results for Acquisitions purchased in 2005 and a partial period of results for Acquisitions purchased in 2006.
Same Store rental income increased $1.5 million, or 2.4%, to $62.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $61.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Rental income in Same Store increased largely due to lease-up of vacancy within certain portfolios, particularly Harborside in Jersey City, NJ, and properties within the Wachovia, N.A. and Dana portfolios. Also, additional revenue was recorded in our Regions portfolio during the three months ended September 30, 2006 caused by favorable adjustments to leased square footage following the re-measurement of buildings within the portfolio.

Operating Expense Reimbursements and Property Operating Expenses
Operating expense reimbursements were unchanged at approximately $47.3 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005. Property operating expenses increased $9.2 million, or 15.4%, to $68.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from approximately $59.6 million for three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in property operating expenses is partially attributable to results for the three months ended September 30, 2006 including a full quarter of results for Acquisitions purchased in 2005 and a partial period of results for Acquisitions purchased in 2006. The increase also relates to a $5.1 million increase in operating expenses within the Same Store portfolio during the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the prior year period. Total operating expense reimbursements as a percentage of total property operating expenses (“reimbursement ratio”) decreased to 68.8% from 79.5%. This decrease is primarily due to Same Store, which had reimbursement ratios of 69.5% and 77.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
During the three months ended September 30, 2006, Same Store operating expenses increased due to a leasehold impairment of $1.5 million, recorded on a sublease at our Harborside, NJ property due to a sub-tenant lease modification resulting in leasing less generator capacity as was previously negotiated. This impairment was recorded by comparing the net cash inflows we anticipate receiving from this sub-tenant to the net cash outflows we will pay under our leasehold interest obligation. The Company also recorded a provision for tenant litigation of $0.6 million resulting from a tenant dispute over past due rent. As the collection of such rent is uncertain, the receivable has been reserved. In addition, $0.7 million was offset against operating expense reimbursements during the three months ended September 30, 2006 relating to post-closing development requirements of a tenant. Excluding these period adjustments, the Same Store reimbursement ratio increases to 72.9%.
Also contributing to the Same Store ratio decrease were occupancy, expense, and reimbursement variances within the Wachovia portfolio purchased in September 2004. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the bank tenant occupied approximately 607,000 of additional square feet compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006. This additional occupancy resulted in a higher reimbursement rate within this portfolio in 2005. This was partially offset by higher operating expenses within certain properties managed directly by the financial institution tenant. Such costs are fully reimbursed by the tenant. Furthermore, the 2004 operating expense reconciliation associated with this Wachovia portfolio was finalized during the third quarter of 2005 which contributed an additional $1.3 million of operating expense reimbursement during this period.
Within the Regions portfolio acquired in June 2005, operating expenses were $0.7 million higher in the third quarter of 2006 compared to the comparable prior year period when the financial institution tenant continued to directly pay for property operating expenses subsequent to the acquisition. The Company completed its reconciliation with the tenant relating to these expenses during 2006. Operating expense reimbursement within this period decreased to 59.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2006 from 83.4% in the comparable 2005 period. This decrease is a result of transition space released by the bank tenant totaling approximately 98,000 square feet subsequent to September 30, 2005. The tenant had previously reimbursed their allocable share of operating expenses on such released premises.
The Company renewed its property level insurance premiums resulting in an increase of $1.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the prior year period. In addition, higher repairs and maintenance expenditures of $1.0 millions and real estate taxes of $1.4 million contributed to the overall increase in operating expenses.
Interest and other income
Interest and other income decreased $1.0 million from $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Other income in the three months ended September 30, 2005 includes the receipt of a $1.3 million termination fee at our 123 South Broad Street Unit II building.
Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses
Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million, or 3.3%, to $6.1 million for three months ended September 30, 2006, from $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to increased personnel costs associated with increasing staffing levels year over year, as well as an increase to our renewed directors and officers insurance premium. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in travel costs and office related expenses resulting from closing the London office. Marketing, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 4.9% for three months ended September 30, 2006, from 5.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
Broken Deal Costs
Broken deal costs, which relate to withdrawing from potential transactions, were $.04 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Our policy is to capitalize, as deferred costs, external expenses associated with potential acquisitions. However, when we make the decision not to pursue transactions that do not meet our investment criteria, the previously capitalized costs are immediately expensed as broken deal costs in our consolidated statement of operations.

Repositioning
On August 17, 2006, the Company announced the results of a strategic review of its operations. This review resulted in several broad initiatives which include accelerating asset sales, reducing the Company’s leverage ratio and reducing marketing, general and administrative expenses. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company incurred $8.2 million of charges associated with the repositioning plan. These charges are primarily comprised of $3.9 million in professional and other fees related to the strategic review, $2.7 million in termination and impairment charges incurred primarily in connection with subleasing the Company’s New York office, and $1.6 million of previously deferred costs related to the Company’s decision not to pursue a collateralized financing arrangement.
Amortization of Deferred Equity Compensation
The amortization of deferred equity compensation was $2.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, a decrease $0.4 million or 17.7%. The decrease reflects the full amortization of restricted shares issued in July 2003, which vested over a three year period, offset by the issuance of additional unvested restricted shares in 2006.
Severance and Related Accelerated Amortization of Deferred Compensation
During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded estimated severance charges related to the separation our former President and Chief Executive Officer, and two additional senior executives, positions which will not be refilled, as well as certain other employees. These charges include a combination of cash severance and accelerated vesting of equity compensation totaling $17.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.0 million, or 5.5%, to $38.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $36.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. This increase is primarily related to the timing of acquisitions due to depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 including a full quarter of results for Acquisitions purchased in 2005 and a partial period of results for Acquisitions purchased in 2006.
Depreciation and amortization in Same Store decreased $2.5 million from $33.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $31.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This decrease primarily relates to a correction to the useful lives of certain assets recorded in the prior year. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company discovered that certain depreciable assets, primarily intangible assets, were being amortized over the improper useful lives. After evaluating the impact of these adjustments, approximately $1.2 million of additional depreciation and amortization expense was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2005 in order to adjust accumulated amortization to the proper balances as of September 30, 2005. The remaining decrease in depreciation and amortization primarily reflects early lease terminations in our 123 South Broad Street Unit II building in Philadelphia, PA and Beaver Valley in Wilmington, DE.
The increase in depreciation and amortization expense during the three months ended September 30, 2006 in Corporate is primarily attributable to leasehold improvements, office furniture and fixtures due to the expansion of our corporate offices as well as hardware and software associated with our new information system.
Interest Expense on Mortgages and Other Debt
Interest expense on mortgage notes and other debt increased $6.3 million, or 19.4%, to $38.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $32.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to additional borrowings and contractual increases in interest rates, specifically due to the following:
New Borrowings. During the period from July 1, 2005 to September 30, 2006, we received proceeds of $296.4 million under new mortgages, secured by properties acquired during the period, which increased interest expense by $2.5 million.
Secured Credit Facility. Interest expense on our secured credit facility increased by $4.4 million. This increase is attributable to an increase in average advances to $260.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $50.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2005, as well as an increase in the weighted average effective interest rate, excluding the amortization of deferred financing costs, to 7.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2006, from 5.3% during the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Refinancing. In December 2005, we completed the refinancing of the mortgage debt of approximately $161.3 million on our Dana Commercial Credit portfolio to a non-amortizing mortgage of $180.0 million. The interest rate increased from 4.04% to 5.61% as a result of this refinancing, which also extended the term by approximately seven years. The increase of both principal and interest rate resulted in additional interest expense of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005.
Debt Amortization and Extinguishment. These aforementioned increases in interest expense are partially offset by contractual debt amortization and the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $83.1 million during the period from July 1, 2005 to September 30, 2006.
Gain on Disposal of Properties in Continuing Operations
The Company sold seven parcels of land for a net gain of $1.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company realized a gain of $0.1 million related to the purchase of an interest rate cap related to the sale of the 30% interest in State Street Financial Center.
Equity in Loss from Unconsolidated Joint Venture
During the three months ended September 30, 2006, our allocated share in the loss of our Citizens Bank unconsolidated joint venture totaled $0.7 million. This loss includes our allocated portion of depreciation and interest expense totaling $2.1 million. The Company earns a management fee of 0.15% of property value under management, defined as the original purchase price. The gross amount of management fees, totaling $0.1 million are included in interest and other income from continuing operations.
Minority Interest
Minority interest was $1.2 million and $0.4 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, this amount represents an allocation of net loss to unitholders in our Operating Partnership and an allocation of net income or loss from 801 Market Street property to third parties that own a minority interest in those properties. However, on October 31, 2005, the Company acquired the remaining 11% limited partnership interest in the entity that owns 123 S. Broad Street in Philadelphia, PA. Therefore, allocations of minority interest on 123 South Broad occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2005, but did not occur during the three months ended September 30, 2006.
Discontinued Operations
Following the announcement of its repositioning plan on August 17, 2006, the Company began a process of identifying and disposing of non-core assets and selected marquee properties. Included in discontinued operations at September 30, 2006 is State Street Financial Center (“State Street”), a 1.0 million square foot office tower located in Boston, MA. Due to its materiality, State Street is presented separately in the following table of discontinued operations:

Discontinued Operations — Loss from Discontinued Operations.
Loss from discontinued operations increased $4.3 million to a loss of $9.2 million, net of minority interest, for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from a loss of $4.9 million, net of minority interest, for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Impairment charges included in discontinued operations totaled $7.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to none in the three months ended September 30, 2005. Significant property impairments taken in the current period include a $4.8 million charge taken against a single property in the Bank of America 2003 portfolio and an aggregate of $1.5 million in impairment charges taken in the Charter One/Citizens Bank portfolio. Excluding impairments, properties included in discontinued operations generated a loss of $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to a loss of $4.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2005.
Discontinued Operations — Net Gains
During the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we sold 38 and 12 properties for a gain of $11.2 million and $1.7 million, net of minority interest and income tax expense, respectively. We have established investment criteria for properties included in our real estate portfolio and a policy to dispose of non-core properties that do not meet such criteria. Pursuant to our policy, we generally intend to commence efforts to dispose of non-core properties within 30 days of acquisition and dispose of them within approximately 12 months of acquisition. If we sell properties at a gain, we may incur income tax liability.

Rental Revenue
Rental income increased $42.7 million, or 23.7%, to $223.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $180.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This increase is primarily related to the rental revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 including a full nine months of results for Acquisitions purchased in 2005 and a partial period of results for Acquisitions purchased in 2006. Acquisition rental revenue increased $42.1 million in the current period compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Same Store rental income increased $0.9 million, or 0.5%, to $166.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $165.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This increase primarily reflects lease-up of vacancy within certain properties, particularly Harborside in Jersey City, NJ, the Wachovia Bank, N.A. portfolio, 101 Independence in Charlotte, NC and the Bank of America 2004 portfolio. Also, additional revenue was recorded in our Bank of America 2004 portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 reflecting favorable adjustments to leased square footage following the re-measurement of buildings within

the portfolio that were completed in the fourth quarter of 2005. These increases were partially offset by $1.0 million of accelerated amortization of a below-market lease liability recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This accelerated amortization was associated with an early lease termination by a non-bank third party tenant, initiated by the tenant due to its financial instability. In addition, scheduled lease terminations in our Dana Commercial Credit portfolio, 123 South Broad Street Unit II building in Philadelphia, PA as well as at Beaver Valley in Wilmington, DE also had an unfavorable impact on rental revenue in the current period versus the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Operating Expense Reimbursements and Property Operating Expenses
Operating expense reimbursements increased $14.2 million, or 11.1%, to $140.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $126.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Property operating expenses increased $34.3 million, or 20.7%, to $200.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $166.0 million for nine months ended September 30, 2005. Both these increases are partially related to the effect of Acquisitions which represents $7.1 million and $19.8 million of the increase in operating expense reimbursements and property operating expenses, respectively. Total operating expense reimbursements as a percentage of total property operating expenses (“reimbursement ratio”) decreased to 70.4% from 76.4%. This decrease is also partially due to Acquisitions, which had reimbursement ratios of 38.5% and 45.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, as acquired properties have a lower recovery than properties in the Same Store portfolio, based on the structure of the corresponding leases and overall occupancy.
Same Store operating expense reimbursements increased $7.1 million, or 5.8%, to $130.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $123.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Same Store property operating expenses increased $15.6 million, or 9.5%, to $179.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $164.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Same Store reimbursement ratios decreased to 72.5% from 75.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
Property operating expenses increased as a result of leasehold impairments of $3.3 million recorded in connection with the execution of subleases at our Harborside, NJ leasehold location during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. These impairments were recorded in connection with comparing the net cash inflows we anticipate receiving from sub-tenants to the net cash outflows we will pay under our leasehold interest obligation. The Company also recorded a provision for tenant litigation of $0.6 million during the period resulting from a tenant dispute over past due rent. As the collection of such rent is uncertain, the receivable has been reserved. In addition, $0.7 million was offset against operating expense reimbursements during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, relating to post-closing development requirements of a tenant. Excluding these adjustments, the Same Store reimbursement ratio would increase to 73.7%.
Also contributing to the Same Store ratio decrease were occupancy, expense and reimbursement variances within the Wachovia portfolio purchased in September 2004. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the bank tenant occupied approximately 607,000 of additional square feet compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This additional occupancy resulted in a higher reimbursement rate within this portfolio in 2005. This was partially offset by higher operating expenses within certain properties managed directly by the financial institution tenant. Such costs are fully reimbursed by the tenant. Furthermore, the 2004 operating expense reconciliation associated with this Wachovia portfolio was finalized during the third quarter of 2005 which contributed an additional $1.3 million of operating expense reimbursement during this period.
Property operating expenses in the Bank of America, N.A. portfolios purchased in June 2003 and October 2004 increased primarily as a result of higher repairs and maintenance, utility and real estate tax expenses, during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. These higher property operating expenses resulted in higher operating expense reimbursements based on the tenants’ pro rata share. Accordingly, there was little change in the reimbursement ratios of these portfolios.
The Company renewed its property level insurance premiums resulting in an increase of $0.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the prior year period. In addition, higher repairs and maintenance expenditures of $2.8 million and real estate taxes of $4.2 million contributed to the overall increase in operating expenses.
Interest and other income
Interest and other income decreased $0.9 million from $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease primarily reflects the receipt of a $1.3 million termination fee at our 123 South Broad Street Unit II building in September of 2005. This decrease was partially offset by lower interest income and lease termination fees paid in the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses
Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased $2.2 million, or 13.0%, to $19.4 million for nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $17.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to increased personnel costs, including recruiting fees, associated with increasing staffing levels year over year, professional fees related to internal audit services as well as an increase to our renewed directors and officers’ insurance premium. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in travel costs and office related expenses resulting from closing our London office. Marketing, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 5.3% for nine months ended September 30, 2006, from 5.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Broken Deal Costs
Broken deal costs, which relate to withdrawing from potential transactions, were $0.2 million and $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Our policy is to capitalize, as deferred costs, external expenses associated with potential acquisitions. However, when we make the decision not to pursue transactions that do not meet our investment criteria, the previously capitalized costs are immediately expensed as broken deal costs in our consolidated statement of operations.
Repositioning
On August 17, 2006, the Company announced the results of a strategic review of its operations. This review resulted in several broad initiatives which include accelerating asset sales, improving the Company’s leverage ratio and reducing marketing, general and administrative expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company incurred $8.6 million of charges associated with the repositioning plan. These changes are primarily comprised of $4.4 million in professional and other fees related to the strategic review, $2.7 million in termination and impairment charges incurred primarily in connection with subleasing the Company’s New York office, and $1.6 million of previously deferred costs related to the Company’s decision not to pursue a collateralized financing arrangement.
Amortization of Deferred Equity Compensation
The amortization of deferred equity compensation was $7.4 million and $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This decrease was due to restricted stock grants issued in September 2002 to the board of trustees, which were amortized over a three year vesting period ending in September 2005 in addition to a full period of amortization of restricted shares issued in July 2003, which vested over a three year period. These decreases are offset by the issuance of additional unvested shares in 2006.
Severance and Related Accelerated Amortization of Deferred Compensation
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded estimated severance charges related to the separation our former President and Chief Executive Officer, and two additional senior executives, positions which will not be refilled, as well as certain other employees. These charges include a combination of cash severance and accelerated vesting of equity compensation totaling $17.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we incurred severance charges related to the separation of two senior officers. These severance charges included the amortization of deferred compensation associated with the acceleration of vesting and additional issuance of restricted stock awards, as applicable.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $19.0 million, or 19.9%, to $114.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $95.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This increase is related primarily to the timing of acquisitions due to depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 including nine months of expense for Acquisitions purchased in 2005 and a partial period of expense for Acquisitions purchased in 2006. As a result, depreciation and amortization for Acquisitions increased $19.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the prior year period.
Depreciation and amortization in Same Store decreased $2.3 million from $86.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $84.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This decrease includes lower depreciation and amortization at our 123 South Broad Street Unit II building in Philadelphia, PA and our Beaver Valley property in Wilmington, DE reflecting the impact of early lease terminations on these properties. Also, depreciation and amortization in the Bank of America, N.A. 2003 portfolio decreased principally due to the accelerated amortization of intangibles and leasehold improvements recorded during the second quarter of 2005 related to an early lease termination by a non-bank third party tenant, initiated by the tenant due to its financial instability. Additionally, the change in Same Store depreciation and amortization expense reflects the previously described correction to the useful lives of certain assets recorded in the prior year.
These decreases were partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense in certain properties due to additional capital and tenant improvements and the acceleration of depreciation and amortization of tenant improvements and intangible assets related to the early release of space in Bank of America Plaza in St. Louis, MO, recorded in the first quarter of 2006.
The increase in depreciation and amortization expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, in Corporate is primarily attributable to leasehold improvements, office furniture and fixtures due to the expansion of our corporate offices as well as hardware and software associated with our new information system.

Interest Expense on Mortgages and Other Debt
Interest expense on mortgage notes and other debt increased approximately $29.3 million, or 34.6%, to $114.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $84.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to additional borrowings and contractual increases in interest rates, specifically due to the following:
New Borrowings. During the period from January 1, 2005 to September 30, 2006, we received proceeds of $381.8 million under new mortgages, secured by properties acquired during the period, which increased interest expense by $12.0 million. In addition, in March 2005, we completed the $304.0 million long-term financing, secured by the Bank of America, N.A. portfolio purchased in October 2004. This financing bore interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.02% through June 14, 2005 (3.11% in June 2005), before resetting to the contractual fixed rate of 5.96% for the remainder of the loan term. The net effect of the financing and its higher interest rate was an increase to interest expense of $5.2 million.
Secured Credit Facility. Interest expense on our secured credit facility increased by $10.0 million. This increase is attributable to an increase in average advances to $222.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $73.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as well as an increase in the weighted average effective interest rate, excluding the amortization of deferred financing costs, to 6.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from 3.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. In March 2005, we repaid the $270.0 million advance drawn in October 2004 to partially fund the acquisition of the Bank of America, N.A. portfolio. These funds were repaid in March 2005, when proceeds of $304.0 million from a long-term loan secured by the portfolio were received.
Refinancing. In December 2005, we completed the refinancing of the mortgage debt of approximately $161.3 million on our Dana Commercial Credit portfolio to a non-amortizing mortgage of $180.0 million. The interest rate increased from 4.04% to 5.61% as a result of this refinancing. The increase of both principal and interest rate resulted in additional interest expense of $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Variable to Fixed Changes in Interest Rates. The mortgage secured by properties acquired from Wachovia Bank, N.A. in September 2004, reset from a variable rate of LIBOR plus 1.5% (4.27% in March 2005) to the contractual fixed rate of 6.4% in May 2005. Interest expense related to the Wachovia Bank, N.A. portfolio increased $0.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, as a net result of interest rates reverting from variable to fixed, partially offset by amortization and the early extinguishment of debt.
Debt Amortization and Extinguishment. These aforementioned increases in interest expense are partially offset by contractual debt amortization and the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $116.8 million during the period from January 1, 2005 to September 30, 2006.
Loss on Investments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded a net loss on investments of $0.5 million, primarily due to a loss incurred on the sale of certain marketable securities. We no longer hold a position in such securities and therefore no such loss was incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Gain on Disposal of Properties in Continuing Operations
We sold 13 parcels of land for a net gain of $2.0 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company realized a gain of $0.1 million related the purchase an interest rate cap related to the sale of the 30% interest in State Street Financial Center.
Equity in Loss from Unconsolidated Joint Venture
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, our allocated share in the loss includes of our Citizens Bank unconsolidated joint venture totaled $0.7 million. This loss includes our allocated portion of depreciation and interest expense totaling $2.1 million. The Company earns a management fee of 0.15% of property value under management, defined as the original purchase price. The gross amount of management fees, totaling $0.1 million are included in interest and other income from continuing operations.

Minority Interest
Minority interest was $2.9 million and $2.1 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, this amount represents an allocation of net loss to unitholders in our Operating Partnership and an allocation of net income or loss from our 801 Market Street property to third parties that own a minority interest in those properties. However, we acquired an 89% majority interest in 801 Market Street in April 2005; therefore, a portion of our allocations to minority interest were recorded on this property during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the 801 Market Street property incurred an annual, contingent, incentive management fee expense, which was not estimable until earned. This expense was not incurred during the same period in 2005. On October 31, 2005, the Company acquired the remaining 11% limited partnership interest in the entity that owns 123 S. Broad Street in Philadelphia, PA. Therefore, allocations of minority interest on 123 South Broad occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, but did not occur during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Discontinued Operations
Following the announcement of its repositioning plan on August 17, 2006, the Company began a process of identifying and disposing of non-core assets and selected marquee properties. Included in discontinued operations at September 30, 2006 is State Street Financial Center (“State Street”), a 1.0 million square foot office tower located in Boston, MA. Due to its materiality, State Street is presented separately in the following table of discontinued operations:

Discontinued Operations — Loss from Discontinued Operations.
Loss from discontinued operations increased $4.0 million to a loss of $18.8 million, net of minority interest, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from a loss of $14.8 million, net of minority interest, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Excluding impairment charges, the properties included in discontinued operations generated $10.4 million of net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to generating a loss of $13.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization on a property ceases subsequent to being reclassified as held for sale. A majority of the properties sold or held for sale at September 30, 2006, such as the five 100% leased properties sold to Resnick Development Corp. in April 2006, were not held for sale at September 30, 2005 and depreciation and amortization expense was incurred on these properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, but not during the same period in 2006. The decrease is partially offset by the $7.4 million increase in impairment charges, to $8.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Discontinued Operations — Yield Maintenance Fees
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we sold 12 and two properties encumbered by mortgages and incurred related charges on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $13.6 million and $0.2 million, net of minority interest, respectively.
Discontinued Operations — Net Gains
During the nine months ended September, 2006 and 2005, we sold 103 and 79 properties for a gain of $81.1 million and $6.4 million, net of minority interest and income tax expense, respectively. This includes the gain before defeasance costs of $56.9 million recorded in April 2006 related to the sale of five 100% leased properties to Resnick Development Corp.

We have established investment criteria for properties included in our real estate portfolio and a policy to dispose of non-core properties that do not meet such criteria. Pursuant to our policy, we generally intend to commence efforts to dispose of non-core properties within 30 days of acquisition and dispose of them within approximately 12 months of acquisition. If we sell properties at a gain, we may incur income tax liability.
Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $3.8 million. The level of cash flows provided by operating activities is affected by both the timing of interest payments and amount of borrowings outstanding during the period. It is also affected by the receipt of scheduled rent payments particularly in the Bank of America, N.A. portfolio purchased in October 2004 due to higher rental revenue in the initial 12 month period and the timing of the payment of operating expenses. The increase in deferred revenue is due to the receipt of approximately $40.4 million from the Bank of America N.A. in January 2006 under the terms of a lease that we assumed in the acquisition of Dana Commercial Credit portfolio. We also received $9.2 million of standby subtenant fees from Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The quarterly prepayment received from Charles Schwab & Co., Inc increased from $2.4 million to $3.1 million in 2006 compared to 2005, and the final quarterly installment of prepaid sublease management fees of $0.6 million was paid on December 31, 2005. These changes were partially offset by the increase in prepaid expenses and other assets as result of the prepayment of interest expense associated with the refinancing of the debt on the Dana Commercial Credit portfolio and various real estate taxes.
Total 2006 dividends and distributions declared during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $97.1 million. As noted above, cash flows from operations during this period totaled $3.8 million, a difference of approximately $93.3 million compared to the amounts declared for dividends and distributions. This difference is partially attributable to $20.6 million in charges related to repositioning expenses and severance costs paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, although additional amounts were accrued to be paid in a subsequent quarter. Additionally, increased borrowings under our secured credit facility and adjustments on variable rate debt caused interest expense to increase $29.3 million from the comparable 2005 period. Furthermore, changes in operating assets and liabilities versus the comparable nine months period caused a decrease in cash flows of $19.2 million, principally resulting from higher prepaid expenses and lower deferred revenues (advance payments received under the Schwab agreement).
Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $291.5 million. Investing activities consisted primarily of proceeds from sales of real estate of approximately $514.4 million, including proceeds from the sale of five 100% leased properties to Resnick Development Corp. These proceeds were partially offset by payments for acquisitions and an investment in a joint venture, net of cash acquired and deposits paid in previous periods, of approximately $160.0 million. Such acquisitions consisted of sixteen properties acquired from National City Bank, eight properties from Western Sierra, one property from First Charter Bank, and various properties under our formulated price contracts. Additionally, we spent approximately $32.1 million related to capital expenditures and leasehold costs, and purchase of $31.6 million of investments, including Pledged treasury securities.
Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $341.5 million. Financing activities consisted primarily of (i) dividends to shareholders and distributions to Operating Partnership unit holders of approximately $109.1 million, (ii) repayment of mortgage notes payable and credit facilities of approximately $346.2 million, (iii) approximately $3.5 million related to an increase in restricted cash, and (iv) approximately $1.1 million paid for deferred financing costs. These outflows were partially offset by proceeds from our secured credit facility of approximately $117.2 million, to fund a portion of the purchase price of the properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and approximately $1.2 million related to the exercise of stock options by a former executive officer.
Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $76.7 million. The level of cash flows provided by operating activities is affected by the receipt of scheduled rent payments and the timing of the payment of operating and interest costs. The increase in deferred revenue is due to the receipt in January 2005 of approximately $40.4 million from Bank of America, N.A. under the terms of a lease that we assumed in the acquisition of the Dana Commercial Credit portfolio and the prepayment of approximately $9.2 million of sublease management and standby subtenant fees received from Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. These changes were partially offset by the decrease in accrued interest pertaining to the annual contractual payments on debt secured by the Dana Commercial Credit portfolio and the payment of interest on our convertible senior notes.
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $571.3 million. Investing activities consisted primarily of payments for acquisitions, net of cash acquired and deposits paid in previous periods, of approximately $632.7 million and approximately $27.0 million for payments related to capital expenditures and leasehold costs. These payments were partially offset by proceeds from sales of real estate of approximately $67.7 million and net sales of marketable securities of approximately $20.7 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $447.2 million. Financing activities consisted primarily of proceeds from mortgage notes payable and credit facilities of approximately $720.2 million, which were principally from the secured financing on the Bank of America, N.A. portfolio that we acquired in October 2004 and the secured financings used to fund a portion of the purchase price of the properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. We also received approximately $244.4 million of proceeds from the May 2005 public offering and the exercise of stock options as well as approximately $0.3 million of contributions from the minority interest owners of State Street Financial Center. These proceeds were partially offset by (i) dividends to shareholders and distributions to Operating Partnership unit holders of approximately $98.2 million, (ii) repayment of mortgage notes payable, net of financing cost refunds, of approximately $389.0 million, (iii) approximately $4.4 million of payments to redeem Operating Partnership units issued in connection with the acquisition of State Street Financial Center and (iv) approximately $26.1 million related to an increase in restricted cash.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Short-Term Liquidity Requirements
We had an aggregate of $67.3 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of September 30, 2006, of which $30.3 million was in lock box accounts to fund monthly contractual debt service payments and reserve requirements.
As of September 30, 2006, we had $279.2 million of advances outstanding from our secured credit facility and $120.8 million of additional, uncollateralized availability under this facility. On October 18, 2006, the Company borrowed an additional $10.0 million of availability from this facility. As of September 30, 2006 an additional advance under this facility of approximately $80.0 million was in process, after which total unsecured availability for this facility will be $30.8 million.
In addition to our secured credit facility, we have an unsecured credit facility with $60.0 million borrowing limit, available for general corporate purposes, which includes $60.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit. In June 2006, the unsecured credit facility was amended to permit cash collateralized letters of credit in excess of this sub-limit. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had $65.3 million of letters of credit outstanding consisting of $59.2 million of unsecured letters of credit and $6.1 of cash collateralized letters of credit, resulting in a net availability of $0.8 million.
In October 2006 the mezzanine loan secured by One Lincoln Street in Boston, Massachusetts was amended with the current lender to extend the interest-only period from October 11, 2006 to October 11, 2007 and to extend the maturity date from July 11, 2013 to February 11, 2015. In addition, the loan’s interest rate during the interest-only period was amended from LIBOR plus 1.834% to LIBOR plus 1.25% and the fixed interest rate, in effect after the expiration of the interest-only period on October 11, 2007, was amended from 9.75% to 12.00%. The loan was also amended to allow for prepayment loan during the interest-only period without penalty.
Excluding acquisitions pending under our formulated price contracts, as of September 30, 2006, we had no pending acquisitions under contract or letters of intent.
As of September 30, 2006, we had approximately $38.4 million in pending acquisitions under outstanding notifications and notifications we anticipate receiving under our formulated price contracts. Pursuant to our formulated price contracts, we acquire, or assume leasehold interests in, the surplus bank branches of financial institutions at a formulated price established by independent appraisals. We were still in due diligence periods and had not received appraisals for all the properties for which we received or anticipate receiving notice. Therefore, where possible and quantifiable, we have estimated the purchase price of the properties we anticipate acquiring, based on the appraisals we have received for similar properties. The acquisition of these properties will be principally financed with cash generated by property dispositions and our secured line of credit.
In connection with the Company’s repositioning strategy, the former CEO and President, and two additional senior executives, positions which will not be refilled, along with several other former employees were paid an aggregate of $15.2 million in severance payments. In addition, $4.4 million was paid to various attorneys, banking advisors and consultants that have assisted the Company in its repositioning strategy. Such payments were made during the three months ended September 30, 2006.
In October 2006, we received of proceeds $0.6 million from the disposition of two properties net of debt prepayment and transaction costs. Primary outflows of cash in October 2006 included the payment of our dividends and distributions declared in September 2006 of $25.3 million.
In November and December 2006, we anticipate receiving aggregate proceeds from selling non-core properties of approximately $26.2 million, net of principal payments, yield maintenance fees on related debt, and transaction costs. Such dispositions, which are currently under contract, are subject to the buyers’ due diligence. We cannot assure that we will successfully close these dispositions. If such properties are not sold or not sold in a timely manner, our liquidity position could be adversely affected.
On November 2, 2006, the Company entered into a definitive contract for the sale of the State Street Financial Center, located in Boston, Massachusetts, for a sale price in excess of $880.0 million, before defeasance and other settlement costs. The purchaser is a Northeast-based private real estate investment group. The Company owns a 70% interest in the property through a joint venture. The sale of the property is subject to a right of first refusal by our joint venture partner. The Company anticipates closing on the transaction late in 2006 or in the first quarter of 2007. If completed, the Company’s portion of the net proceeds resulting from this sale is expected to exceed $175.0 million, after debt payoff, defeasance costs and other related expenses.
As of September 30, 2006, we had 13 formulated price contracts with banking institutions, including contracts with three of the six largest depositary institutions in the United States. Unless terminated, our formulated price contracts automatically renew on an annual basis. Since our formulated price agreements require us, with limited exceptions, to purchase all bank branches, subject to notification, that the counter parties determine to be surplus properties, the total contractual obligation under these agreements is not quantifiable. If we are unable to accurately forecast the number of properties that we may become obligated to purchase, or if we are unable to secure adequate debt or equity financing to fund the purchase price, we may not have sufficient capital to purchase these properties. If

we cannot perform our obligations, we may become subject to liquidated or other damages or impair our relationships with these institutions. The institutions with which we have such agreements may also have the right to terminate the agreements if we breach our obligations under them. Any of these damages could significantly affect our operating results, and if these agreements are terminated, our ability to acquire additional properties and successfully execute our business plan. If we are successful in entering into similar agreements with other financial institutions, we may need a significant amount of additional capital to fund additional acquisitions under those agreements. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise necessary capital on acceptable terms, or at all. Our inability to fund required acquisitions would adversely affect our revenues, impair our business plan and reduce cash available for distribution to shareholders.
In July 2006, the short-term bridge facility initially received in anticipation of completing a pooled securitization financing, secured by Bank of Oklahoma Plaza, One Citizens Plaza and One Colonial Place, was extended to late August 2006 and was subsequently extended until October 31, 2006. At the time of extension until October 31, 2006, the outstanding loan balance was reduced by $5.3 million. The portion of the short-term bridge facility secured by Bank of Oklahoma Plaza and One Citizens Plaza includes approximately $16.2 million of recourse to our Operating Partnership. During the third quarter of 2006, the Company elected not to pursue the completion of a pooled securitization financing based on its new repositioning strategy. Accordingly, previously deferred costs totaling $1.6 million related to this contemplated financing were written off and are included within repositioning expenses within the accompanying statements of operations. Two of the properties financed under this facility are expected to be refinanced with individual mortgage loans, which should be completed before year end. In October 2006 the short-term bridge facility for these two properties was extended until December 29, 2006. These loan applications for the refinancing of these two properties with the lender currently providing the short-term bridge facility are in the process of being completed. The third property is currently being evaluated as an asset which may be either sold or refinanced. In October 2006 the short-term bridge facility for this property was extended until January 31, 2007, contingent upon the extension of the other two properties.
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for operating expenses, contractually obligated reimbursable and non-reimbursable capital expenditures, dividend and distribution payments to our shareholders and unit holders, respectively, debt service, inclusive of principal repayment and interest expense related to both secured and unsecured debt and commitments to complete pending acquisitions. Although cash flows from real estate operating activity is a source from which these payments are provided, with the exception of acquisitions, it alone is not sufficient to meet these obligations. We are obligated under the terms of our major tenant leases to fund all capital expenditures at the time of completing certain capital improvements. These tenants reimburse these costs over a useful life schedule plus interest. We are currently negotiating a facility to finance the tenant portion of these costs. In addition to cash flow from real estate operating activity and cash available from our credit facilities, we expect to fund short-term liquidity requirements from any or all of the following sources:
    proceeds from the sale of non-core and other identified real estate assets;
 
    proceeds from the sale of interests in existing real property assets contributed to and maintained or re-developed through off balance sheet entities to be formed with unrelated third party investors;
 
    the placement of mortgage financings on existing unencumbered assets;
 
    the placement of mortgage financings to refinance existing encumbered assets; and
 
    the issuance of secured or unsecured debt securities.
However, if these sources of funds become unavailable, our access to the capital markets becomes restricted or we are unable to match the completion of capital sourcing transactions with capital needs, our ability to meet our short-term liquidity requirements will be adversely affected.
Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
Our long-term requirements generally consist of real property investments, on-going capital expenditures and repairs and maintenance within our existing real estate portfolio, the refinancing of existing long-term debt obligations, which may come due in the next 12 months, as well as the repayment of balances outstanding on our credit facilities. These investments and refinancing requirements may be funded utilizing capital market transactions, which may include the issuance of preferred equity, common equity and various forms of secured and unsecured long-term debt instruments. Such financings may also be funded through short-term bank loans and long-term mortgages. In addition, we are actively managing our debt and capital position. We are currently reviewing our debt portfolio, in order to identify and refinance obligations with high interest rate coupons or high debt service constants. Through these refinancings, we anticipate improved cash flow by decreasing interest payment obligations or eliminating or reducing debt amortization.
We expect to continue to acquire additional properties in the next 12 months. We expect to fund current acquisition commitments and future commitments with any or all of the sources of capital described above. We intend to arrange debt in accordance with our general borrowing policies, which include utilizing our credit facilities prior to securing permanent debt financing and/or obtaining short-term floating rate bridge financings to expedite the closing of such acquisitions.

We anticipate that our current cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from real estate operating activity, anticipated proceeds from non-core asset sales, and our access to the capital markets is sufficient to meet our short-term and long-term capital requirements. However, if these sources of funds become unavailable or our access to the capital markets becomes restricted, our ability to meet current dividend and other cash payment requirements will be adversely affected.
Our properties are encumbered by mortgages and other financing agreements aggregating approximately $3,090.5 million in outstanding principal, excluding unamortized premiums and discounts, as of September 30, 2006, with an average remaining term of 10.3 years and a weighted average interest rate (excluding unamortized debt premium and discounts and the effects of hedging activities) of 5.7%. As of September 30, 2006, our ratio of total debt (mortgage notes payable, senior convertible notes and credit facilities) to total assets, both net of cash and cash equivalents, was 71.6%. To the extent that sufficient net proceeds from asset dispositions become available, the Company may retire up to $100 million of debt or repurchase up to $100 million of common stock or a combination of both. In such event, a concomitant adjustment to this ratio may occur.
Our total debt balance includes the 100% consolidated interests of two buildings in which there are minority interest holders, including State Street Financial Center, which is encumbered by a mortgage and mezzanine loan aggregating $542.9 million at September 30, 2006, of which the minority interest holder’s share is 30%, or $162.9 million, and 801 Market Street, which is encumbered by a $42.1 million mortgage at September 30, 2006, of which the minority interest holder’s share is 11%, or $4.6 million. Excluded from total debt balances at September 30, 2006 is the Company’s allocable portion of mortgage notes payable within an unconsolidated joint venture, which totals $64.3 million.

As of September 30, 2006 for the three months ending December 31, 2006, we are required to pay $148.4 million in debt service, which includes $84.6 million principal due on our short-term bridge facility which was subsequently extended in October 2006, $50.0 million of mezzanine debt which the Company subsequently extended in October 2006, and $24.4 million of contractual debt amortization. The table below summarizes the properties financed and the principal payments required as of September 30, 2006 for the remainder of 2006 and the following calendar years (dollars in millions):

(1)   Excludes unamortized debt premium and discounts.
 
(2)   Includes approximately $38.4 million related to notifications outstanding under our formulated price contracts. However, since our formulated price agreements require us, with limited exceptions, to purchase, or assume leasehold interest in, all bank branches, subject to notification, that the counter parties determine to be surplus properties, the total contractual obligation under these agreements is not quantifiable.
As of September 30, 2006, we had $65.3 million of letters of credit outstanding. We have provided Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. with an irrevocable, standby letter of credit for $36.3 million as security for our obligation under a subtenant agreement and a sublease management and standby subtenant agreement at Harborside Plaza in Jersey City, New Jersey. The amount of the letter of credit will increase concurrently with each rent credit and sublease management fee paid to us by Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. up to $51.6 million and then decrease over the term of our obligations through October 2017. In connection with various reserve requirements for our long-term financing of the Bank of America, N.A. portfolio we acquired in October 2004, we posted a $19.5 million letter of credit as collateral. This letter of credit may be reduced when certain conditions are met, including various leasing and maintenance requirements. We also provided Bank of America, N.A. with an irrevocable, standby letter of credit for $6.0 million, as security for our obligations under our lease agreements related to the properties we acquired from Bank of America, N.A. in June 2003 and October 2004. The remaining letters of credit were primarily issued to secure payments under leasehold interests and issued to utility companies in lieu of a cash security deposit to establish service. In addition, the Company has $0.8 million in surety bonds outstanding as of September 30, 2006 issued to utility companies in lieu of a cash security deposit to establish service.
We generally intend to refinance the remaining principal balance of our mortgage notes payable as they become due or repay them if the respective property is sold.
Cash Distribution Policy
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) commencing as of our taxable year ended December 31, 2002. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to our shareholders. It is our intention to comply with these requirements and maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate federal, state or local income taxes on taxable income we distribute (in accordance with the IRC and applicable regulations) to our shareholders. However, as property dispositions are a part of our on-going business plan, it is necessary to transfer properties held for sale to our taxable REIT subsidiary, prior to completion of such sales, in order to maintain the favorable REIT tax status under the IRC. Gains on sales of these assets may be subject to taxes according to the individual property’s resident jurisdiction. When taxes are due on such sales, the tax liability is paid by our taxable REIT subsidiary. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years. Even if we qualify for federal taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income (i.e., taxable income not distributed in the amounts and in the time frames prescribed by the IRC and applicable regulations thereunder).

It is our intention to pay to our shareholders, within the time periods prescribed by the IRC, all or substantially all of our annual taxable income, including gains from the sale of real estate and recognized gains on the sale of securities.
We intend to continue our policy of making sufficient cash distributions to shareholders in order for us to maintain our REIT status under the IRC and to avoid corporate income and excise tax on undistributed income.
Since inception, dividends and Operating Partnership unit distributions have exceeded the minimum amounts required to satisfy the IRC distribution requirements. As such, any distribution amount in excess of our taxable income is designated as a return of capital. The dividend distribution policy is set by our board of trustees annually and reviewed quarterly. Payments made in excess of our taxable income are at the discretion of the board of trustees.
To address the difference between cash flows generated from operations and dividend payout, the Company’s board of trustees announced on August 17, 2006, a reduction in our dividend of $0.08 per share, or 29.6%, from $0.27 per share to $0.19 per share. For comparative purposes, dividends and distributions would have totaled $76.0 million if the dividend has been decreased commencing in the first quarter of 2006. The dividend reduction is part of our overall repositioning strategy, which includes the sale of marquee assets and the reduction of leverage. Along with other initiatives, management and the board of trustees believe that the measures they are currently undertaking (as previously communicated), will address the difference as it relates to future periods.
Inflation
Some of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. These provisions generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases either at fixed rates or indexed escalations (based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures). We may be adversely impacted by inflation on the leases that do not contain indexed escalation provisions. In addition, our net leases require the tenant to pay its allocable share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance. This may reduce our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The market risk associated with financial instruments and derivative financial instruments is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices or rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk relating to variable-rate borrowings. To meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements, we borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Borrowings under our credit facilities bear interest at variable rates. Our long-term debt, which consists of secured financings, typically bears interest at fixed rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, caps, and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. We do not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
As of September 30, 2006, our debt included fixed-rate debt, including debt secured by assets held for sale, with a carrying value of approximately $2,669.6 million and a fair value of approximately $2,600.1 million. Changes in market interest rates on our fixed-rate debt impacts the fair value of the debt, but it has no impact on interest incurred or cash flow. For instance, if interest rates rise 100 basis points and our fixed rate debt balance remains constant, we expect the fair value of our debt to decrease, the same way the price of a bond declines as interest rates rise. The sensitivity analysis related to our fixed-rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from their September 30, 2006 levels, with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by approximately $189.2 million. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in an increase in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by approximately $211.2 million.
As of September 30, 2006, our debt included variable-rate mortgage notes payable and credit facilities with a carrying value of $418.8 million. The sensitivity analysis related to our variable-rate debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in variable interest rates with all other variables held constant. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in variable interest rates on our variable notes payable would increase or decrease our interest expense by approximately $2.5 million annually.
These amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates changes on our borrowing costs, and, assume no other changes in our capital structure.
As the information presented above includes only those exposures that existed as of September 30, 2006, it does not consider exposures or positions arising after that date. The information represented herein has limited predictive value. As a result, the ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on cumulative exposures, hedging strategies employed and the magnitude of the fluctuations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
(b) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In response to the material weakness described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company has taken a number of measures, including the following:
    Design of a revised control process over accounting for income taxes, which includes additional management oversight and review of the tax accounting treatment of property dispositions.
 
    Initiate a quarter end review by outside tax accountants, who are not our external auditors, of quarterly tax entries and activities.
No other changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
None.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On July 11, 2006, the Company entered into a sourcing agreement with a third-party advisor to assist the Company with real estate acquisition sourcing activities with respect to financial institutions. In connection with entering into this agreement, the Company issued the advisor an unvested warrant to purchase 100,000 common shares of beneficial interest. Provided the sourcing agreement is still in effect, on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of this agreement, the Company will grant the advisor additional unvested warrants to purchase 100,000 common shares of beneficial interest. The exercise price of each warrant is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the date of issuance of the respective grant. The advisor will earn, or vest in, each warrant if they successfully source acquisition transactions, as defined in the sourcing agreement, with the Company equal to $100.0 million. The right to vest in each warrant is cumulative; however, no warrant will be issued in advance of an anniversary date. The advisor must source and the Company must close transactions equal to $500.0 million to vest all of the warrants. The Company relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in issuing the initial warrant because the warrant was offered privately solely to the advisor. The proceeds from the exercise of these warrants will be used for general corporate purposes.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
None.
Item 5. Other Information
