EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2013 of Liberty Property Trust and Liberty Property Limited Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the “Trust” mean Liberty Property Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries; and references to the “Operating Partnership” mean Liberty Property Limited Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” mean the Trust and the Operating Partnership, collectively.

The Trust is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust's assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust's operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by its subsidiary, the Operating Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership.

The Trust is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owning 97.0% of the common equity of the Operating Partnership at March 31, 2013. The common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (the “Common Units”), other than those owned by the Trust, are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis (subject to anti-dilution protections) for the Trust's Common Shares of Beneficial Interest, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Shares”). The Company has issued several series of Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership (the “Preferred Units"). The outstanding Preferred Units of each series are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis after stated dates into a corresponding series of Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of the Trust except for the Series I-2 Preferred Units, which are not convertible or exchangeable into any other securities. The ownership of the holders of Common and Preferred Units is reflected in the Trust's financial statements as “noncontrolling interest-operating partnership” both in mezzanine equity and as a component of total equity. The ownership of the holders of Common and Preferred Units not owned by the Trust is reflected in the Operating Partnership's financial statements as “limited partners' equity” both in mezzanine equity and as a component of total owners' equity.

The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of the Trust. The Trust has no significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Trust and the Operating Partnership are managed and operated as one entity. The Trust and the Operating Partnership have the same managers.

The Trust's sole business purpose is to act as the general partner of the Operating Partnership. Net proceeds from equity issuances by the Trust are then contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units. The Trust itself does not issue any indebtedness, but guarantees certain of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Trust and the Operating Partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:

• enhances investors' understanding of the Trust and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

• eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the Company's disclosure applies to both the Trust and the Operating Partnership; and

• creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the Trust and the Operating Partnership, this report presents the following separate sections for each of the Trust and the Operating Partnership:

• consolidated financial statements;

• the following notes to the consolidated financial statements;

◦ Income per Common Share of the Trust and Income per Common Unit of the Operating Partnership;

◦ Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income of the Trust and Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income of the Operating Partnership; and

◦ Noncontrolling Interests of the Trust and Limited Partners' Equity of the Operating Partnership

This report also includes separate Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of the Trust and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each entity have made the requisite certifications and that the Trust and Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

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 its subsidiary, Liberty Property Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, together with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”). The Trust is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owning 97.0% of the common equity of the Operating Partnership at March 31, 2013. The Company provides leasing, property management, development, acquisition, and other tenant-related services for a portfolio of industrial and office properties which are located principally within the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern United States and the United Kingdom. Unless otherwise indicated, the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements apply to both the Trust and the Operating Partnership. The terms the "Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” mean the Trust and Operating Partnership collectively.

Note 7: Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

The operating results and gain on disposition of real estate for properties sold and held for sale are reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income as discontinued operations. Prior period financial statements have been adjusted for discontinued operations. There were $74.7 million proceeds from dispositions of operating properties for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to $6.5 million for the same period in 2012.

Below is a summary of the results of operations for the properties held for sale and disposed of through the respective disposition dates (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2013			March 31, 2012
Revenues	$	1,634		$	12,404
Operating expenses	(179		)	(4,686		)
Interest and other income	—			29
Interest expense	(148		)	(2,711		)
Depreciation and amortization	(427		)	(713		)
Income before gain on property dispositions	880			4,323
Gain on property dispositions	41,713			1,064
Income from discontinued operations	$	42,593		$	5,387

One property totaling 86,000 square feet in the Company’s South reportable segment was considered held for sale as of March 31, 2013. This property was sold subsequent to March 31, 2013 for proceeds of $11.0 million.

Interest expense is allocated to discontinued operations. The allocation of interest expense to discontinued operations was based on the ratio of net assets sold and held for sale (without continuing involvement) to the sum of total net assets plus consolidated debt.

Note 8: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

In October 2012, Blythe Valley JV Sarl, a joint venture in which the Company held an interest, defaulted on its mortgage loan. The mortgage loan was secured by all of the operating properties and land of the joint venture. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the lender appointed a receiver, effectively taking control of the assets securing its loan. During the year ended December 31, 2012 the joint venture recorded an impairment charge, the Company's share of which was sufficient to bring the Company's investment in the joint venture to zero.

18

Note 9: Continuous Equity Offering

The Company has a continuous equity offering program in place for up to $200 million of equity. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company sold 642,000 common shares through this program. The net proceeds from the offering of $24.3 million were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Company's unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

Note 10: Noncontrolling Interests of the Trust

Noncontrolling interests in the accompanying financial statements represent the interests of the common and preferred units in the Operating Partnership not held by the Trust. In addition, noncontrolling interests include third-party ownership interests in consolidated joint venture investments.

Common units

The common units outstanding of the Operating Partnership not held by the Trust as of March 31, 2013 have the same economic characteristics as common shares of the Trust. The 3,713,851 outstanding common units of the Operating Partnership at such date not held by the Trust share proportionately in the net income or loss and in any distributions of the Operating Partnership. The common units of the Operating Partnership not held by the Trust are redeemable at any time at the option of the holder. The Trust, as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, may at its option elect to settle the redemption in cash or through the exchange on a one-for-one basis with unregistered common shares of the Trust. The market value of the 3,713,851 outstanding common units based on the closing price of the common shares of the Trust at March 31, 2013 was $147.6 million.

Preferred units

The Trust had outstanding the following cumulative redeemable preferred units of the Operating Partnership (the “Equity Preferred Units”) as of March 31, 2013:

ISSUE	AMOUNT		UNITS	LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE		DIVIDEND RATE		REDEEMABLE AS OF	EXCHANGEABLE AFTER
	(in 000’s)
Series E	$	20,000	400		$50	7.00	%	6/16/2010	6/16/15 into Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of the Trust
Series F	$	17,500	350		$50	6.65	%	6/30/2010	12/12/15 into Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of the Trust
Series G	$	27,000	540		$50	6.70	%	12/15/2011	12/15/16 into Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of the Trust

The Equity Preferred Units are callable at the Operating Partnership’s option after a stated period of time. The Trust as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership may at its option elect to settle the redemption for cash or through the exchange on a one-for-one basis with unregistered preferred shares of the Trust.

19

Note 11: Limited Partners' Equity of the Operating Partnership

Common units

General and limited partners' equity - common units relates to limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership issued in connection with the formation of the Operating Partnership and certain subsequent acquisitions. The common units outstanding as of March 31, 2013 have the same economic characteristics as common shares of the Trust. The 3,713,851 outstanding common units at such date are the limited partners' equity - common units held by persons and entities other than the Trust, the general partner of the Operating Partnership, which holds a number of common units equal to the number of outstanding common shares of beneficial interest. Both the common units held by the Trust and the common units held by persons and entities other than the Trust are counted in the weighted average number of common units outstanding during any given period. The common units share proportionately in the net income or loss and in any distributions of the Operating Partnership and are exchangeable into the same number of common shares of the Trust. The market value of the 3,713,851 outstanding common units at March 31, 2013 based on the closing price of the common shares of the Company at March 31, 2013 was $147.6 million.

Preferred units

The following are the Equity Preferred Units as of March 31, 2013:

ISSUE	AMOUNT		UNITS	LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE		DIVIDEND RATE		REDEEMABLE AS OF	EXCHANGEABLE AFTER
	(in 000's)
Series E	$	20,000	400		$50	7.00	%	6/16/2010	6/16/15 into Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of the Trust
Series F	$	17,500	350		$50	6.65	%	6/30/2010	12/12/15 into Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of the Trust
Series G	$	27,000	540		$50	6.70	%	12/15/2011	12/15/16 into Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of the Trust

The Equity Preferred Units are callable at the Operating Partnership's option after a stated period of time. The Trust as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership may at its option elect to settle the redemption for cash or through the exchange on a one-for-one basis with unregistered preferred shares of the Trust.

Note 12: Noncontrolling Interest - Operating Partnership/Limited Partners' Equity - Preferred Units

As of March 31, 2013, the following cumulative preferred units of the Operating Partnership were outstanding:

ISSUE	AMOUNT		UNITS	LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE	DIVIDEND RATE
	(in 000’s)
Series I-2	$	7,537	301	$25	6.25	%

The preferred units are callable at the holder's option at any time and are callable at the Operating Partnership's option after a stated period of time for cash.

Note 13: Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the following estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized on disposition of the financial instruments at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest, dividend and distributions payable and other liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term nature of these

20

instruments. The carrying value of the outstanding amounts under the Company's credit facility is also a reasonable estimate of fair value because interest rates float at a rate based on LIBOR.

The Company used a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of its debt as of March 31, 2013.  This is a Level 3 fair value calculation. The inputs used in preparing the discounted cash flow model include actual maturity dates and scheduled cash flows as well as estimates for market value discount rates.  The Company updates the discounted cash flow model on a quarterly basis to reflect any changes in the Company's debt holdings and changes to discount rate assumptions.  

The only significant unobservable input in the discounted cash flow model is the discount rate.  For the fair value of the Company's unsecured notes, the Company uses a discount rate based on the indicative new issue pricing provided by lenders.  For the Company's mortgage loans, the Company uses an estimate based on its knowledge of the mortgage market. The weighted average discount rate for the combined unsecured notes and mortgage loans used as of March 31, 2013 was approximately 2.89% compared to 2.87% at December 31, 2012. An increase in the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model would result in a decrease to the fair value of the Company's long-term debt.  A decrease in the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model would result in an increase to the fair value of the Company's long-term debt.

The following summarizes the changes in the fair value of the Company's long-term debt from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013 (in thousands):

	Carrying Value			Fair Value			Fair Value Above (Below) Carrying Value

Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Matters

Substantially all of the Company's properties and land were subject to Phase I Environmental Assessments and when appropriate Phase II Environmental Assessments (collectively, the “Environmental Assessments”) obtained in contemplation of their acquisition by the Company. The Environmental Assessments did not reveal, nor is the Company aware of, any non-compliance with environmental laws, environmental liability or other environmental claim that the Company believes would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Operating Ground Lease Agreements

Future minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancelable operating ground leases under which the Company is the lessee, as of March 31, 2013, were as follows (in thousands):

Year	Amount
2013	$	122
2014	158
2015	153
2016	153
2017	153
2018 through 2054	5,085
Total	$	5,824

Operating ground lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $40,000 as compared to $41,000 for the same period in 2012.

21

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is a party to a variety of legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the normal course of business. The Company believes that as of March 31, 2013 there were no legal proceedings, claims or assessments expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial statements.

Other

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had letter of credit obligations of $4.9 million related to development requirements. The Company believes that the likelihood is remote that there will be a draw upon these letter of credit obligations.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had 12 buildings under development. These buildings are expected to contain, when completed, a total of 3.7 million square feet of leasable space and represent an anticipated aggregate investment of $302.3 million. At March 31, 2013, development in progress totaled $209.7 million. In addition, as of March 31, 2013, the Company invested $7.3 million in deferred leasing costs related to these development buildings.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company was committed to $4.4 million in improvements on certain buildings and land parcels.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company was committed to $31.4 million in future land purchases.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company was obligated to pay for tenant improvements not yet completed for a maximum of $38.5 million.

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions. The combined account balances at each institution typically exceed FDIC insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company believes the risk is not significant.

Note 15: Supplemental Disclosure to Statements of Cash Flows

The following are supplemental disclosures to the statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (amounts in thousands):

	2013		2012
Write-off of fully depreciated/amortized property and deferred costs	$	7,182	$	7,643
Write-off of depreciated/amortized property and deferred costs due to sale	$	23,906	$	3,331
Write-off of origination costs relating to preferred unit redemption	$	—	$	2,771

Amounts paid in cash for deferred leasing costs incurred in connection with signed leases with tenants are paid in conjunction with improving (acquiring) property, plant and equipment. Such costs are not contained within net real estate. However, they are integral to the completion of a tenant lease and ultimately are related to the improvement and thus the value of the Company’s property, plant and equipment. They are therefore included in investing activities in the Company’s statements of cash flows.

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 (“REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust’s assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by its subsidiary, Liberty Property Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, collectively with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”).

The Company operates primarily in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern United States. Additionally, the Company owns certain assets in the United Kingdom.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company owned and operated 342 industrial and 240 office properties (the “Wholly Owned Properties in Operation”) totaling 66.9 million square feet. In addition, as of March 31, 2013, the Company owned 12 properties under development, which when completed are expected to comprise 3.7 million square feet (the “Wholly Owned Properties under Development”) and 1,462 acres of developable land, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use. Additionally, as of March 31, 2013, the Company had an ownership interest, through unconsolidated joint ventures, in 47 industrial and 37 office properties totaling 13.7 million square feet (the “JV Properties in Operation” and, together with the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation, the “Properties in Operation”). The Company also has an ownership interest through unconsolidated joint ventures in

22

518 acres of developable land, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use. The Company refers to the Wholly Owned Properties under Development and the Properties in Operation collectively as the "Properties."

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 maximizing rental rates and controlling costs. The Company pursues development opportunities that it believes will create value and yield acceptable returns. The Company also acquires properties that it believes will create long-term value, and disposes of properties that no longer fit within the Company’s strategic objectives or in situations where it can optimize cash proceeds. In the foreseeable future, the Company expects its strategy with respect to product and market selection to favor industrial and metro-office properties and markets with strong demographic and economic fundamentals.

The Company’s operating results depend primarily upon income from rental operations and are substantially influenced by rental demand for the Properties in Operation. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company operated in a national economic environment characterized by high unemployment, low growth in GDP and low interest rates. Although this low interest rate environment has created opportunity for the Company to borrow money at a low rate of interest, the sluggish pace of economic activity has continued to put downward pressure on rents. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, straight line rents on renewal and replacement leases were on average 4.0%lower than rents on expiring leases which was within the decrease anticipated by the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company successfully leased 5.4 million square feet and, as of that date, attained occupancy of 92.7% for the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation and 92.4% for the JV Properties in Operation for a combined occupancy of 92.6% for the Properties in Operation. At December 31, 2012, occupancy for the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation was 92.5% and for the JV Properties in Operation was 90.2% for a combined occupancy for the Properties in Operation of 92.1%.

Consistent with its strategy, the Company intends to increase its investment in industrial and metro-office properties and decrease its investment in suburban office properties. For similar investment dollars, cash flow from industrial properties is generally less than cash flow generated from suburban office properties. Such transactions result in a reduction of net cash provided by operating activities. The Company anticipates that for 2013, in the aggregate, the net cash provided by operating activities, less customary capital expenditures and leasing transaction costs, will be less than dividend distributions.  The Company will continue to evaluate these circumstances in light of its dividend distribution policy.

WHOLLY OWNED CAPITAL ACTIVITY

Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company did not acquire any properties. For 2013, the Company anticipates that wholly owned property acquisitions will range from $100 million to $200 million and believes that certain of its acquired properties will be either vacant or partially leased.

Dispositions

Disposition activity allows the Company to, among other things, (1) reduce its holdings in certain markets and product types within a market consistent with the Company's strategy; (2) lower the average age of the portfolio; (3) optimize the cash proceeds from the sale of certain assets; and (4) obtain funds for investment activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company realized proceeds of $74.7 million from the sale of one property representing 441,000 square feet. For 2013, the Company anticipates that wholly owned property dispositions will range from $150 million to $250 million.

Development

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company brought into service one Wholly Owned Property under Development representing 208,000 square feet and a Total Investment of $80.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company initiated three Wholly Owned Properties under Development with a projected Total Investment of $69.7 million. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had 12 Wholly Owned Properties under Development with a projected Total Investment of $302.3 million. For 2013, the Company anticipates that wholly owned development deliveries will total between $300 million and $400 million and that during 2013 it will commence development on properties with an expected aggregate Total Investment in a range from $300 million to $400 million.

“Total Investment” for a property is defined as the property’s purchase price plus closing costs (in the case of acquisitions if vacant) 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.

23

UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE CAPITAL ACTIVITY

The Company periodically enters into unconsolidated joint venture relationships in connection with the execution of its real estate operating strategy.

Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, none of the unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company held an interest acquired any properties. The Company does not anticipate that any unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company holds an interest will acquire any properties in 2013.

Dispositions

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, none of the unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company held an interest sold any properties. The Company does not anticipate that any unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company holds an interest will dispose of any properties in 2013.

Development

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, none of the unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company held an interest brought any properties into service or began any development activities. As of March 31, 2013, the Company has no unconsolidated joint venture properties under development. The Company does not anticipate that any unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company holds an interest will bring any development properties into service or begin any development activities in 2013.

PROPERTIES IN OPERATION

The composition of the Company’s Properties in Operation as of March 31, 2013 and 2012 was as follows (square feet in thousands):

	Net Rent Per Square Foot(1)				Straight Line Rent and Operating Expense Reimbursement Per Square Foot(2)				Total Square Feet		Percent Occupied

(1) Net rent represents the contractual rent per square foot at March 31, 2013 or 2012 for tenants in occupancy. Net rent does not include the tenant's obligation to pay property operating expenses and real estate taxes. If a tenant at March 31, 2013 or 2012 was within a free rent period its rent would equal zero for the purposes of this metric.

(2) Straight line rent and operating expense reimbursement represents the straight line rent including operating expense recoveries per square foot at March 31, 2013 or 2012 for tenants in occupancy.

(3) JV Properties in Operation represents the 84 properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company has an interest.

Geographic segment data for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are included in Note 6 to the Company’s financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

When used throughout this report, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates” 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 global, national and regional economic conditions; rental demand; the Company’s ability to identify, and enter into agreements with suitable joint venture partners in situations where it believes such arrangements are advantageous; the Company’s ability to identify and secure additional properties and sites, both for itself and the joint ventures to which it is a party, that meet its criteria for acquisition or development; the effect of prevailing market interest rates; risks related to the integration of the operations of entities that we have acquired or may acquire; risks related to litigation; and other risks described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for a discussion of critical accounting policies which include capitalized costs, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of real estate, intangibles and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, 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 months ended March 31, 2013 with the results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2012. As a result of the varying levels of development, acquisition and disposition activities by the Company in 2013 and 2012, 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 consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Overview

The Company’s average gross investment in operating real estate owned for the three months ended March 31, 2013increased to $5,235.3 million from $4,599.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase in operating real estate resulted in increases in rental revenue, operating expense reimbursement, rental property expenses, real estate taxes and depreciation and amortization expense. Rental property expense includes utilities, insurance, janitorial, landscaping, snow removal and other costs necessary to maintain a property.

Total operating revenue increased to $176.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $166.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The $9.7 millionincrease was primarily due to an increase in rental income, which was primarily due to the increase in average gross investment in operating real estate. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in termination fees, which totaled $539,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2012.

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 and if a property is sold, related termination fees are included in discontinued operations. See “Other” below.

Segments

The Company evaluates the performance of the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation in terms of net operating income by reportable segment (see Note 6 to the Company’s financial statements for a reconciliation of this measure to income from continuing operations). The following table identifies changes to net operating income in reportable segments (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended						Percentage Increase (Decrease)
	March 31,
	2013			2012
Northeast
– Southeastern PA	$	22,613		$	25,170		(10.2	%)	(1	)
– Lehigh/Central PA	16,668			16,195			2.9	%
– Other	8,322			9,105			(8.6	%)
Central	18,923			17,747			6.6	%
South	33,317			32,654			2.0	%
Metro	6,796			5,629			20.7	%	(2	)
United Kingdom	(133		)	(229		)	(41.9	%)
Segment-level net operating income	$	106,506		$	106,271		0.2	%

(1) The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in average gross investment in operating real estate and one-time items that increased net operating income in the first quarter of 2012 that did not recur in the first quarter of 2013.

(2) The increase was primarily due to an increase in average gross investment in operating real estate.

Same Store

Property level operating income, exclusive of termination fees, for the Same Store properties increased to $116.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $115.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 on a straight line basis (which recognizes rental revenue evenly over the life of the lease), and increased to $114.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $114.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 on a cash basis.

26

The same store results were affected by increases in straight line rental rates and occupancy and a decrease in cash rental rates. The following details the Same Store occupancy and rental rates for the respective periods:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2013			2012
Average occupancy %	93.0		%	92.0		%
Average rental rate - cash basis (1)	$	7.99		$	8.07
Average rental rate - straight line rent and operating expense reimbursement (2)	$	11.59		$	11.45

(1) Represents the average contractual rent per square foot for the three months ended March 31, 2013 for tenants in occupancy in Same Store properties. Net rent does not include the tenant's obligation to pay property operating expenses and real estate taxes. If a tenant was within a free rent period its rent would equal zero for purposes of this metric.

(2) Straight line rent and operating expense reimbursement represents the average straight line rent including operating expense recoveries per square foot for the three months ended March 31, 2013 or 2012 for tenants in occupancy.

Management generally considers the performance of the Same Store properties to be a useful financial performance measure because the results are directly comparable from period to period. Management further believes that the performance comparison should exclude termination fees since they are more event-specific and are not representative of ordinary performance results. In addition, Same Store property level operating income and Same Store cash basis 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 546 properties totaling approximately 61.7 million square feet owned on January 1, 2012. Acquisitions and completed development during the year ended December 31, 2012 and the three months ended March 31, 2013 are excluded from the Same Store properties. Acquisitions and completed development are included in Same Store when they have been purchased in the case of acquisitions, and are stabilized in the case of completed development, prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented in the comparison. The 50 properties sold during 2012 and the one property sold during the three months ended March 31, 2013 are also excluded.

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 months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. Same Store property level operating income and cash basis property level operating income are non-GAAP measures and do not represent income before property dispositions, income taxes and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures because they do not reflect the consolidated operations of the Company. Investors should review Same Store results, along with Funds from operations (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below), GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities when considering the Company’s operating performance. Also set forth below is a reconciliation of Same Store property level operating income and cash basis property level operating income to net income (in thousands).

(1) Includes Termination Fees of $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and $534,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased to $19.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $17.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase was primarily due to increases in compensation, the writeoff of costs for canceled projects and costs associated with operating initiatives. General and administrative expenses include salaries, wages and incentive compensation for general and administrative staff along with related costs, consulting, marketing, public company expenses, costs associated with the acquisition of properties and other general and administrative costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased to $45.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $40.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase was primarily due to the increased investment in operating real estate.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $31.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $28.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the average debt outstanding to $2,610.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $2,295.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase was partially

28

offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate to 5.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from 5.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as well as an increase in interest capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2013 due to an increase in development activity.

Interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $148,000 and $2.7 million, respectively. This decrease was due to the level of dispositions in 2013 and 2012.

Other

Gain on property dispositions increased to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $523,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Income from discontinued operations increased to $42.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase was primarily due to the gain recognized on sales which were $41.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2012.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s net income increased to $74.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $39.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

The Company seeks to maintain a conservative balance sheet and pursue a strategy of financial flexibility. The Company expects to invest $200 million to $300 million to fund its investment in development properties in 2013. The Company’s remaining 2013 debt maturities total approximately $8.7 million. The Company anticipates that it will invest $100 million to $200 million in acquisitions in 2013. The Company expects to realize approximately $150 million to $250 million in proceeds from asset sales in 2013. The Company believes that proceeds from asset sales, its available cash, borrowing capacity from its Credit Facility (as defined below) and its other sources of capital including the public debt and equity markets will provide it with sufficient funds to satisfy these obligations.

Activity

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $82.6 million, including $28.2 million in restricted cash.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $92.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $92.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This $518,000 decrease was primarily due to a reduction in termination fees and an increase in general and administrative costs partially offset by fluctuations in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash flow provided by operating activities is the primary source of liquidity to fund distributions to shareholders and for recurring capital expenditures and leasing transaction costs for the Company’s Wholly Owned Properties in Operation.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $30.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $67.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This $97.8 million change primarily resulted from an increase in net proceeds from the dispositions of properties/land and a decrease in investment in development in progress.

Net cash used in financing activities increased to $103.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $18.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This $85.0 million increase was primarily due to net changes in the Company’s debt during the respective periods partially offset by an increase in net proceeds from the issuance of common shares. Net cash used in financing activities includes proceeds from the issuance of equity and debt, net of debt repayments, equity repurchases and distributions.

The Company sold 642,000 common shares through its continuous offering program during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The net proceeds from the offering of $24.3 million were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the Company's unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

The Company funds its development activities and acquisitions with long-term capital sources and proceeds from the disposition of properties. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, a portion of these activities were funded through a $500 million Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”). The interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Facility fluctuates based upon ratings from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group and Fitch, Inc. Based on the Company’s existing ratings, the interest rate for borrowings under the Credit Facility at March 31, 2013 was LIBOR plus 107.5 basis points.

The Company uses debt financing to lower its overall cost of capital in an attempt to increase the return to shareholders. The Company staggers its debt maturities and maintains debt levels it considers to be prudent. In determining its debt levels, the Company considers various financial measures including the debt to gross assets ratio and the fixed charge coverage ratio. As of March 31, 2013, the Company’s debt to gross assets ratio was 40.5% and for the three months ended March 31, 2013, the fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.0x. Debt to gross assets equals total long-term debt and borrowings under the Credit Facility divided by total assets plus accumulated depreciation including accumulated depreciation on assets held for sale. The fixed charge coverage ratio equals income from continuing operations before gain on property dispositions, 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 March 31, 2013, $304.9 million in mortgage loans and $2,258.9 million in unsecured notes were outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 5.21%. The interest rates on $2,547.8 million of mortgage loans and unsecured notes are fixed and range from 3.0% to 7.5%. The weighted average remaining term for the mortgage loans and unsecured notes is 5.9 years.

The scheduled principal amortization and maturities of the Company’s mortgage loans, unsecured notes and the Credit Facility and the related weighted average interest rates as of March 31, 2013 are as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

General

The Company has an effective S-3 shelf registration statement on file with the SEC pursuant to which the Trust and the Operating Partnership may issue an unlimited amount of equity securities and debt securities.

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 operating property dispositions. As a result, year over year comparison of Funds from operations reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, management believes that Funds from operations provides useful information to the investment community about the Company’s financial performance when compared to other REITs since Funds from operations is generally recognized as the standard for reporting the operating performance of a REIT. Funds from operations available to common shareholders is defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Funds from operations available to common shareholders does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate that cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Funds from operations available to common shareholders also does not represent cash flows generated from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP.

Inflation

Inflation has remained relatively low in recent years, and as a result, it has not had a significant impact on the Company during this period. To the extent an increase in inflation would result in increased operating costs, such as insurance, real estate taxes

and utilities, substantially all of the tenants’ leases require the tenants to absorb these costs as part of their rental obligations. In addition, inflation also may have the effect of increasing market rental rates.
