Liberty Property Trust
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2006
Note 1: Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization
Liberty Property Trust (the “Trust”) is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (a “REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust’s assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by Liberty Property Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and together with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”). The Trust is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owning 95.5% and 96.1% of the common equity of the Operating Partnership at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company provides leasing, property management, development, acquisition and other tenant-related services for a portfolio of industrial and office properties that are located principally within the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern and Midwestern United States and the United Kingdom.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Trust and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership, have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Trust and the Operating Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2005. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Share Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted for its share-based employee compensation plan (the “Plan”), the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”) using the modified prospective application method. In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee requisite service period. Prior to 2003, the Company accounted for the Plan under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations. In January 2003, the Company had adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” prospectively for all employee option awards granted, modified, or settled after January 1, 2003.
Under the modified prospective application method, results for prior periods have not been restated to reflect the effects of implementing SFAS No. 123(R).
Certain restricted share awards and option awards are subject to accelerated vesting upon retirement. The Company historically accounted for these awards over the explicit service period. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company expensed new awards to individuals qualifying for share acceleration. Compensation costs relating to awards granted prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) continue to be expensed over the explicit service period. Had the Company accounted for those awards over the substantive service period, compensation costs for the three months ended June 30, 2005 would have decreased by $0.1 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 would have increased by $0.4 million.
Options:
The Company has authorized the grant of options under the Plan to executive officers, other key employees, non-employee trustees and consultants of up to 12.8 million shares of the Company’s common shares. All options granted have 10-year terms and most options vest over a 3-year period, with options to purchase up to 20% of the shares exercisable after the first anniversary, up to 50% after the second anniversary and 100% after the third anniversary of the date of grant.
Share based compensation cost related to options for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $199,000 and $157,000, respectively. Share based compensation cost related to options for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $370,000 and $258,000, respectively.

Because option awards under the Plan vest over three years, the cost related to share-based employee compensation included in the determination of net income for 2005 is less than that which would have been recognized if the fair value based method had been applied to all option awards since the original effective date of SFAS No. 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested option awards in each period (in thousands, except per share amounts).

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $5.06 and $3.82, respectively. Exercise prices for options outstanding as of June 30, 2006 ranged from $21.88 to $48.54. The weighted average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2006 was 5.3 years and 4.7 years, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised (the difference between the market price at exercise and the price paid by the individual to exercise the option) was $7.3 million and $7.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding was $44.7 million and the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable was $44.5 million. The total cash received from the exercise of options for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $12.1 million and $12.2 million, respectively.
Long Term Incentive Shares (“LTI”):
Restricted LTI share grants made under the Plan are valued at the grant date fair value, which is the market price of the underlying common shares, and vest ratably over a 5-year period beginning with the first anniversary of the grant.
Share-based compensation cost related to restricted LTI share grants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were $779,000 and $1,728,000, respectively, compared to $633,000 and $1,149,000 for the same periods in 2005.
The following table shows a summary of the Company’s restricted LTI share activity for the six months ended June 30, 2006:
                 
            Weighted Avg  
    Shares     Grant Date  
    (000s)     Fair value

    279     $ 41.92  
 
           
As of June 30, 2006, there was $11.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested LTI share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years. The total fair value of restricted shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $1.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
Bonus Shares:
The Plan provides that employees of the Company may elect to receive bonuses or commissions in the form of common shares in lieu of cash (“Bonus Shares”). By making such election, the employee receives shares equal to 120% of the cash value of the bonus or commission, less applicable withholding tax. Bonus Shares issued for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were 32,222 and 42,797, respectively. Share-based compensation cost related to Bonus Shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $0.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively, compared to $0.1 million and $1.7 million for the same periods in 2005.
Profit Sharing Plan:
The Plan provides that employees of the Company, below the officer level, may receive up to 5% of base pay in the form of common shares depending on Company performance. Shares issued in conjunction with the profit sharing plan for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were 3,072 and 3,126 shares, respectively.
Employee Share Purchase Plan:
The Company registered 750,000 common shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with an employee share purchase plan (“ESPP”). The ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company, in amounts up to 10% of the employee’s salary, at a 15% discount to fair market value. There were 6,542 and 4,926 shares issued, in accordance with the ESPP, during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company’s United Kingdom operation is pounds sterling. The Company translates its financial statements into US dollars. Gains and losses resulting from this translation do not impact the results of operations and are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Other comprehensive income was $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and other comprehensive loss was $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Other comprehensive income was $5.6

Note 3: SFAS No. 144, “Accounting For The Impairment Or Disposal Of Long-Lived Assets"
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the operating results and gain/(loss) on the disposition of real estate for properties sold and held for sale are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations. The proceeds from dispositions of operating properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were $101.7 million and $258.2 million, respectively, as compared to $63.7 million and $93.0 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2005. Below is a summary of the results of the properties disposed of through the respective disposition dates (in thousands):

  $ 678     $ 1,670     $ 1,106     $ 4,609  
 
                       
As of June 30, 2006, the Company determined that the held for sale criteria in SFAS No. 144 has been met for seven properties totaling 308,000 square feet.
During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company sold properties to a joint venture in which the Company retained a 25% ownership interest for proceeds of $125 million. Sales of land and development properties and properties in operation where the Company has continuing involvement are reflected as a component of income from continuing operations. See Chicago Joint Venture below.
Interest expense is allocated to discontinued operations as permitted under Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 87-24, “Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations,” and such interest expense has been included in computing income from discontinued operations. The allocation of interest expense to discontinued operations was based on the ratio of net assets sold (without continuing involvement) or held for sale to the sum of total net assets plus consolidated debt.

Note 4: Joint Ventures
Comcast Center
On April 13, 2006, the Company entered into a joint venture pursuant to which it sold an 80% interest in the equity of Comcast Center, a 1.25 million square foot office tower the Company is developing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The transaction valued the property at $505 million, and in addition allocated approximately $10 million for closing costs and for future refurbishment costs. In connection with the transaction, the joint venture obtained a $324 million forward loan commitment at a rate of 6.15% assuming the loan closes in March 2008. In addition to retaining a 20% interest, the Company will receive leasing and property management fees and may receive a promoted interest if certain return thresholds are met.
Under the terms of the joint venture arrangement, the Company is obligated to complete development of the building, the estimated cost of which is approximately $472 million (including $7 million in refurbishment costs), and is also obligated to complete the initial lease up of the property. The criteria for sale recognition in accordance with SFAS No. 66 “Accounting for the Sale of Real Estate” have not been met and this transaction is accounted for as a financing arrangement.
Chicago Joint Venture
On April 25, 2006, the Company entered into a joint venture selling a 75% equity interest in six distribution buildings totaling 2.15 million square feet, and approximately 100 acres of developable land. The joint venture valued the buildings and land at $125 million. The Company retained a 25% ownership interest in the joint venture, and will receive development, leasing and property management fees, and may receive a promoted interest if certain return thresholds are met.
Note 5: Recently Issued Accounting Standards
SFAS No. 153
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions” (“SFAS No. 153”). SFAS No. 153 requires non-monetary exchanges to be accounted for at fair value, recognizing any gain or loss, if the transactions meet a commercial-substance criterion and fair value is determinable. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 153 on January 1, 2006 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.
EITF Issue 04-5
In June 2005, the FASB ratified its consensus in EITF Issue 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights” (“Issue 04-5”). The effective date for Issue 04-5 was June 29, 2005 for all new or modified partnerships and January 1, 2006 for all other partnerships. The adoption of Issue 04-5 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.

Note 1: Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization
Liberty Property Trust, (the “Trust”), is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (a “REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust’s assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by Liberty Property Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership, (the “Operating Partnership” and together with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”). The Trust is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owning 95.5% and 96.1% of the common equity of the Operating Partnership at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company provides leasing, property management, development, acquisition and other tenant-related services for a portfolio of industrial and office properties that are located principally within the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern and Midwestern United States and the United Kingdom.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Trust and the Operating Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2005. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company’s United Kingdom operation is pounds sterling. The Company translates its financial statements into US dollars. Gains and losses resulting from this translation do not impact the results of operations and are included in general partner’s equity - common units. Other comprehensive income was $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and other comprehensive loss was $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Other comprehensive income was $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and other comprehensive loss was $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Upon sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of a foreign investment, the gain or loss on the sale will include a portion of the cumulative translation adjustments that have been previously recorded in other comprehensive income.

The Company’s reportable segments are distinct business units which are each managed separately in order to concentrate market knowledge within a geographic area. Within these reportable segments, the Company derives its revenues from its two product types: industrial properties and office properties.
The Company evaluates the performance of the reportable segments based on property level operating income, which is calculated as rental revenue and operating expense reimbursement less rental property expenses and real estate taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those for the Company on a consolidated basis. The operating information for the Operating Partnership by segment is as follows (in thousands):

As of June 30, 2006, the Company determined that the held for sale criteria in SFAS No. 144 had been met for seven properties totaling 308,000 square feet.
During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company sold properties to a joint venture in which the Company retained a 25% ownership interest for proceeds of $125 million. Sales of land and development properties and properties in operation where the Company has continuing involvement are reflected as a component of income from continuing operations. See Chicago Joint Venture below.
Interest expense is allocated to discontinued operations as permitted under Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 87-24, “Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations,” and such interest expense has been included in computing income from discontinued operations. The allocation of interest expense to discontinued operations was based on the ratio of net assets sold (without continuing involvement) or held for sale to the sum of total net assets plus consolidated debt.
Note 4: Joint Ventures
Comcast Center
On April 13, 2006, the Company entered into a joint venture pursuant to which it sold an 80% interest in the equity of Comcast Center, a 1.25 million square foot office tower the Company is developing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The transaction valued the property at $505 million, and in addition allocated approximately $10 million for closing costs and for future refurbishment costs. In connection with the transaction, the joint venture obtained a $324 million forward loan commitment at a rate of 6.15% assuming the loan closes in March 2008. In addition to retaining a 20% interest, the Company will receive leasing and property management fees and may receive a promoted interest if certain return thresholds are met.
Under the terms of the joint venture arrangement, the Company is obligated to complete development of the building, the estimated cost of which is approximately $472 million (including $7 million in refurbishment costs), and is also obligated to complete the initial lease up of the property. The criteria for sale recognition in accordance with SFAS No. 66 “Accounting for the Sale of Real Estate” have not been met and this transaction is accounted for as a financing arrangement.
Chicago Joint Venture
On April 25, 2006, the Company entered into a joint venture selling a 75% equity interest in six distribution buildings totaling 2.15 million square feet, and approximately 100 acres of developable land. The joint venture valued the buildings and land at $125 million. The Company retained a 25% ownership interest in the joint venture, and will receive development, leasing and property management fees, and may receive a promoted interest if certain return thresholds are met.
Note 5: Recently Issued Accounting Standards
SFAS No. 153
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions” (“SFAS No. 153”). SFAS No. 153 requires non-monetary exchanges to be accounted for at fair value, recognizing any gain or loss, if the transactions meet a commercial-substance criterion and fair value is determinable. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 153 on January 1, 2006 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.
EITF Issue 04-5
In June 2005, the FASB ratified its consensus in EITF Issue 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights” (“Issue 04-5”). The effective date for Issue 04-5 was June 29, 2005 for all new or modified partnerships and January 1, 2006 for all other partnerships. The adoption of Issue 04-5 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or its financial position.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Liberty Property Trust (the “Trust”) is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (a “REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust’s assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by its subsidiary, Liberty Property Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, collectively with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”).
The Company has an ownership interest in and operates 416 industrial and 290 office properties located primarily in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern and Midwestern United States and the United Kingdom (the “Properties in Operation”) totaling 63.6 million square feet. In addition, as of June 30, 2006, the Company has 30 properties under development (the “Properties under Development” and, together with the Properties in Operation, the “Properties”) and owns 1,369 acres of land, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use. Included within the Properties and land above are 37 industrial and 10 office properties comprising 5.8 million square feet, three development properties comprising 850,000 square feet and 302 acres of developable land owned by unconsolidated joint ventures.
The Company focuses on creating value for shareholders and increasing profitability and cash flow. With respect to its Properties in Operation, the Company endeavors to maintain high occupancy levels while increasing rental rates. The Company pursues development opportunities that it believes will create value and yield acceptable returns. The Company also acquires properties that it believes will create long-term value, and disposes of Properties that no longer fit within the Company’s strategic objectives or in situations where it can optimize cash proceeds. The Company’s operating results depend primarily upon income from rental operations and are substantially influenced by rental demand for the Properties in Operation.
The Company continues to experience the effects of the generally slow real estate economy that has persisted since 2002. This economy has presented a particularly difficult real estate market for landlords. These circumstances have impacted many aspects of the Company’s business.
Revenue from the Properties in Operation, which represents over 95% of the Company’s revenue, was subjected in many of its markets to market conditions characterized by an oversupply of leaseable space and soft demand. In the face of these conditions, the Company successfully leased 4.9 million square feet during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and attained occupancy of 92.8% as of that date. The Company believes that these market conditions for the Properties in Operation, which have persisted since 2002, will generally continue for the remainder of 2006, notwithstanding improvements in some markets. Although rental rates in certain markets are starting to stabilize and the Company expects that there will be selected increases in rents on renewal or replacement leases, the Company believes that rents on renewal or replacement leases for 2006 generally will be less than rents on expiring leases.
Conditions in 2006 for the acquisition of properties continue to be very competitive. During the second quarter of 2006, however, the Company acquired one building representing 297,000 square feet and a Total Investment, as defined below, of $27.6 million. From January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006, the Company acquired seven buildings representing 907,000 square feet of operating properties for an aggregate Total Investment of $61.5 million. These acquisitions generally served to increase the Company’s presence or balance the product mix in markets the Company believes to have significant potential. For 2006, the Company believes that the level of property acquisitions will be in the $250 million to $325 million range, and, similar to 2005, that many of the acquired properties will be either vacant or underleased. The Company believes that there is less competition for such properties, and that consequently they are more attractively priced and are positioned to positively contribute to earnings upon lease up and stabilization. “Total Investment” for a Property is defined as the Property’s purchase price plus closing costs and management’s estimate, as determined at the time of acquisition, of the cost of necessary building improvements in the case of acquisitions, or land costs and land and building improvement costs in the case of development projects, and, where appropriate, other development costs and carrying costs.
Dispositions of Properties in 2006 have been significant. This disposition activity has allowed the Company to (1) shift emphasis or exit product types in certain markets; (2) lower the average age of the portfolio; and (3) take advantage of favorable market conditions to optimize the cash proceeds from the sale of certain well situated assets. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company realized proceeds of $101.7 million from the sale of 14 operating properties

24

representing 942,000 square feet. From January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006, the Company realized aggregate proceeds of $258.2 million from the sale of 27 operating properties representing 2.9 million square feet and two acres of land. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company sold six operating properties and 100 acres of land to a joint venture in which the Company retained a 25% interest for $125.0 million. The real estate investment market continues to be very strong. Given this situation, the Company anticipates that disposition activity for 2006 will be in the $600 million to $725 million range.
In 2006, the Company continued to pursue development opportunities. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company brought into service seven development properties representing 566,000 square feet and a Total Investment of $77.3 million and initiated $145.2 million in real estate development. As of June 30, 2006, the total projected cost of the wholly owned Properties under Development is expected to be $861.6 million. The Company believes that in 2006, it will bring into service from its development pipeline properties representing approximately $180 million of investment in operating real estate.
The Company periodically enters into joint venture relationships in connection with the execution of its real estate operating strategy. During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company entered into two joint ventures. – See Note 4 to the Company’s financial statements. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, unconsolidated joint ventures sold two properties representing 143,000 square feet and six acres of land for proceeds to the joint venture of $9.9 million. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2006, unconsolidated joint ventures initiated $63.3 million in real estate development.

Forward-Looking Statements
When used throughout this report, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “hopes” and “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements indicate that assumptions have been used that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual financial results or management plans and objectives to differ materially from those projected or expressed herein, including: the effect of national and regional economic conditions; rental demand; the Company’s ability to identify and secure additional properties and sites that meet its criteria for acquisition or development; the availability and cost of capital; the effect of prevailing market interest rates; and other risks described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 for a discussion of critical accounting policies which include capitalized costs, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of real estate and intangibles. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, there were no material changes to these policies.
Results of Operations
The following discussion is based on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. It compares the results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 with the results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. As a result of the varying levels of development, acquisition

Table of Contents

and disposition activities by the Company in 2006 and 2005, the overall operating results of the Company during such periods are not directly comparable. However, certain data, including the Same Store comparison, do lend themselves to direct comparison.
This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report.
Comparison of Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2005.
The Company’s average gross investment in operating real estate owned for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased to $4,218.7 million from $3,790.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased to $4,176.5 million from $3,752.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase resulted from the increased investment in real estate acquired or developed. This increased investment in operating real estate resulted in increases in rental revenue, operating expense reimbursement, rental property operating expenses, real estate taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense.
Total operating revenue increased to $169.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $167.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and increased to $334.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $325.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The $1.2 million increase during the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 was primarily due to the net increase in investment in operating real estate. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in “Termination Fees” which totaled $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $11.7 million for the same period in 2005. The $9.1 million increase during the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005 was primarily due to the net increase in investment in real estate. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in “Termination Fees” which totaled $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. “Termination Fees” are fees that the Company agrees to accept in consideration for permitting certain tenants to terminate their leases prior to the contractual expiration date. Termination Fees are included in rental revenue.
The Company evaluates the performance of the Properties in Operation by reportable segment (see Note 2 to the Company’s financial statements for a reconciliation to net income). The following table identifies changes in reportable segments (dollars in thousands):

(1)   The decreases for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 versus the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are primarily due to a decrease in Termination Fees accepted from $8.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2005 to $2.8 million for the same period in 2006.
 
(2)   The increases for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 versus the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are partially due to greater Termination Fees accepted during the respective periods and also due to an increase in average gross investment in operating real estate during the respective periods.
 
(3)   The increases for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 versus the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are primarily due to increased occupancy and also due to an increase in average gross investment in operating real estate during the respective periods.
 
(4)   The increases for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 versus the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are primarily due to an increase in average gross investment in operating real estate during the respective periods.
 
(5)   The decreases for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 versus the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are primarily due to sales of 15 operating properties to a joint venture in December 2005.
Property level operating income, exclusive of Termination Fees, for the Same Store properties increased to $101.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $101.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005,

on a straight line basis (which recognizes rental revenue evenly over the life of the lease) and increased to $100.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $99.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 on a cash basis. These increases are primarily due to an increase in occupancy for both industrial and office properties.
Property level operating income, exclusive of Termination Fees, for the Same Store properties increased to $203.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $202.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 on a straight line basis and increased to $200.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $198.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 on a cash basis. These increases are primarily due to an increase in occupancy for both industrial and office properties.
Management generally considers the performance of the Same Store properties to be a useful financial performance measure because the results are directly comparable from period to period. Management further believes that the performance comparison should exclude Termination Fees since they are more event specific and are not representative of ordinary performance results. In addition, Same Store property level operating income exclusive of Termination Fees is considered by management to be a more reliable indicator of the portfolio’s baseline performance. The Same Store properties consist of the 610 Properties totaling approximately 51.4 million square feet owned since January 1, 2005.
Set forth below is a schedule comparing the property level operating income, on a straight line basis and on a cash basis, for the Same Store properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. Same Store property level operating income is a non-GAAP measure and does not represent income before property dispositions, income taxes and minority interest because it does not reflect the consolidated operations of the Company. Investors should review Same Store results, along with Funds from operations (see Liquidity and Capital Resources section), GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities when trying to understand the Company’s operating performance. Also, set forth below is a reconciliation of Same Store property level operating income to net income (in thousands).

General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased to $11.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and increased to $21.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $18.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increases were primarily due to increases in compensation expense for real estate personnel necessitated by the competitive real estate market and increases in personnel consistent with the increase in the size and complexity of the Company.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased to $37.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $35.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and increased to $73.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $67.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increases were primarily due to the increase in gross investment in operating real estate during the respective periods and particularly the increased investment in leasing costs, which are amortized over a shorter period than are buildings and improvements.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased to $29.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $31.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and decreased to $60.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $60.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. These decreases were due to a decrease in the average debt outstanding for the respective periods, which was $2,198.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $2,260.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and $2,215.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $2,218.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Additionally, interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was less than the interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 by $2.8 million and $5.1 million, respectively, due to the level of dispositions throughout 2005 and the first two quarters of 2006. Interest costs for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 in the amount of $7.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively, and interest costs for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 in the amounts of $13.4 million and $7.9 million, respectively, were capitalized. The effect of the decreases in the average debt outstanding was partially offset by increases in the weighted average interest rates for the periods to 6.68% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from 6.61% in 2005 and to 6.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from 6.60% for the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Other
Costs directly related to the development of rental properties and land being readied for development are capitalized. Capitalized development costs include interest, development-related salaries, property taxes, insurance and other directly identifiable costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized development-related salaries and benefits, excluding costs related to Comcast Center, historically represent approximately 1-2% of the cost of developed properties brought into service. Capitalized development-related salaries and benefits for Comcast Center are less than 1% of the cost of the project.
Gain on property dispositions, including impairment increased to a gain of $17.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from an impairment of $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and increased to a gain of $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from an impairment of $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increases for the three and six months periods are due to the gains realized on the sale of a 75% interest in six distribution buildings and approximately 100 acres of land in Chicago to a joint venture.
Income from discontinued operations increased to $16.5 million from $8.6 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2005 and increased to $74.0 million from $18.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The increase for both comparable periods is due to an increase in the level of property dispositions during the respective periods.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s net income increased to $68.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $44.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and increased to $158.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $90.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2006, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $55.5 million, including $17.7 million in restricted cash.
Net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased to $70.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $194.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This $124.1 million decrease was primarily due to the change in prepaid expenses and other assets related to the $97.7 million in cash proceeds from property dispositions held in escrow at June 30, 2006. Decreases are also due to fluctuations in operating assets and liabilities during the respective periods. Net cash flow provided by operations is the primary source of liquidity to fund distributions to shareholders and for the recurring capital expenditures and leasing transaction costs for the Company’s Properties in Operation.
Net cash provided by investing activities changed to $55.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from net cash used of $269.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This $325.2 million change primarily resulted from an increased proceeds from the disposition of properties/land, increased investment in development in progress and a reduction in acquisition activity in 2006 as compared to 2005.
Net cash used in financing activities was $152.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $95.2 million provided for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This $247.3 million change was primarily due to a decrease in borrowings in 2006 compared to 2005 due to the increase in proceeds from dispositions. Net cash provided by or used in financing activities includes proceeds from the issuance of equity and debt, net of debt repayments and shareholder distributions. Cash provided by financing activities is a source of capital utilized by the Company to fund investment activities.
The Company funds its development and acquisitions with long-term capital sources including proceeds from the disposition of Properties. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, a significant portion of these activities were funded through a $600 million Credit Facility (the “$600 million Credit Facility”). The interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility fluctuate based upon ratings from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group (“S&P”) and Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”). The current ratings for the Company’s senior unsecured debt are Baa2, BBB and BBB from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively. At these ratings, the interest rate for borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility is 65 basis points over LIBOR. The $600 million Credit Facility contains an accordion feature whereby the Company may borrow an additional $200 million. The $600 million Credit Facility expires in January 2010, and has a one year extension option.
The Company uses debt financing to lower its overall cost of capital in an attempt to increase the return to shareholders. The Company staggers its debt maturities and maintains debt levels it considers to be prudent. In determining its debt levels, the Company considers various financial measures including the debt to gross assets ratio and the earnings to fixed charge coverage ratio. As of June 30, 2006 the Company’s debt to gross assets ratio was 40.9%, and for the six months ended June 30, 2006, the earnings to fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.6x. Debt to gross assets equals total long-term debt and borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility divided by total assets plus accumulated depreciation. Earnings to fixed charges equals income from continuing operations before property dispositions and minority interest, including operating activity from discontinued operations, plus interest expense and depreciation and amortization, divided by interest expense, including capitalized interest, plus distributions on preferred units.
As of June 30, 2006, $210.1 million in mortgage loans and $1,755.0 million in unsecured notes were outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 6.8%. The interest rates on $1,959.0 million of mortgage loans and unsecured notes are fixed and range from 5.125% to 9.75%. Interest rates on $6.1 million of mortgage loans float with the base rate of the respective lending bank or a municipal bond index. The weighted average remaining term for the mortgage loans and unsecured notes is 5.3 years.

The Company’s existing sources of capital include the public debt and equity markets, proceeds from dispositions of properties, equity contributions by joint venture partners and net cash provided from operating activities. Additionally, the Company expects to incur variable rate debt, including borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility, from time to time.
The Company has an effective S-3 shelf registration statement on file with the SEC (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). As of August 4, 2006, pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, the Trust had the capacity to issue up to $586.1 million in equity securities and the Operating Partnership had the capacity to issue up to $806.2 million in debt securities.
Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company sold six operating properties located in Chicago which contained 2.1 million square feet and 104 acres of land to a joint venture, for $125.0 million. The Company retained a 25% ownership position in the joint venture.
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company entered into a joint venture with a subsidiary of Commerzbank AG, selling an 80% interest in Comcast Center upon its completion and stabilization. The transaction values the property at $505 million, and in addition allocates approximately $10 million for closing costs and for future refurbishment costs. In connection with the transaction, the joint venture has obtained a $324 million forward loan commitment.
Calculation of Funds from Operations
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) has issued a standard definition for Funds from operations (as defined below). The SEC has agreed to the disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure on a per share basis in its Release No. 34-47226, Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The Company believes that the calculation of Funds from operations is helpful to investors and management as it is a measure of the Company’s operating performance that excludes depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions. As a result, year over year comparison of Funds from operations reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, management believes that Funds from operations provides useful information to the investment community about the Company’s financial performance when compared to other REITs since Funds from operations is generally recognized as the standard for reporting the operating performance of a REIT. Funds from operations available to common shareholders is defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Funds from operations available to common shareholders does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate that cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

Inflation
Inflation has remained relatively low during the last three years, and as a result, it has not had a significant impact on the Company during this period. The $600 million Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate; therefore, the amount of interest payable under the $600 million Credit Facility is influenced by changes in short-term interest rates, which tend to be sensitive to inflation. To the extent an increase in inflation would result in increased operating costs, such as in insurance, real estate taxes and utilities, substantially all of the tenants’ leases require the tenants to absorb these costs as part of their rental obligations. In addition, inflation also may have the effect of increasing market rental rates.
