BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
 
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
MARCH 31, 2005
 
1.     THE PARTNERSHIP
 
Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Partnership”) is the entity through which Brandywine Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, conducts its business and owns its assets.  The Partnership’s activities include acquiring, developing, redeveloping, leasing and managing office and industrial properties.   The Company’s common shares of beneficial interest are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “BDN”.
 
The Company’s ownership interests in the Partnership consist of both general partner and limited partner units (“Units” or “Common Partnership Units”).  The Partnership issued these Units to the Company in exchange for contributions to the Partnership of the net proceeds from Brandywine Realty Trust’s issuance of its shares of beneficial interest or in connection with awards of shares of beneficial interest by Brandywine Realty Trust to employees and trustees.  The number of Units owned by Brandywine Realty Trust, and the entitlements of these Units to receive distributions and payments in liquidation, mirror the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of Brandywine Realty Trust.  As of March 31, 2005, Brandywine Realty Trust owned 96.4% of the Partnership’s outstanding Units, excluding any preferred mirror Units issued to the Company in exchange for the Company’s contribution of the net proceeds from its issuances of preferred shares of beneficial interest.  The remaining 3.6% of these Units is owned by limited partners.  The Partnership issued these Units to persons that contributed assets to the Partnership.  The Partnership is obligated to redeem each of these units, at the request of the holder, for cash or one common share of the Company, at the option of the Company.  Pursuant to its Partnership Agreement, the Partnership reimburses Brandywine Realty Trust for all expenses incurred in its operations.  The Partnership owns a 95% interest in Brandywine Realty Services Corporation (the “Management Partnership”), a taxable REIT subsidiary, which performs management and leasing services for 39 properties containing an aggregate of approximately 3.5 million net rentable square feet (including four of the Partnership’s Real Estate Ventures).  As of March 31, 2005, the Partnership also held ownership interests in nine unconsolidated real estate ventures with third parties to develop commercial properties.
 
As of March 31, 2005, the Partnership owned 223 office properties (excluding two office properties that are held by two consolidated real estate ventures), 23 industrial facilities and one mixed-use property (collectively, the “Properties”) that contained an aggregate of approximately 19.2 million net rentable square feet.  The Properties are located in the office and industrial markets in and surrounding Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Richmond, Virginia. 
 
2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Partnership without audit except as to the balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, which has been derived from audited data, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Partnership believes that the included disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) for a fair statement of the financial position of the Partnership as of March 31, 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 have been included.  The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
 
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Partnership and its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
7

 
BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
 
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
MARCH 31, 2005
 
When the Partnership obtains an economic interest in an entity, the Partnership evaluates the entity to determine if the entity is deemed a variable interest entity (VIE), and if the Partnership is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”).  The Partnership consolidates the entities that are VIEs and of which the Partnership is deemed to be the primary beneficiary or non-VIEs which the Partnership controls. For VIE’s where the Partnership is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary or the entity is not deemed a VIE and the Partnership does not control the entity but has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the equity method, i.e. at cost, increased or decreased by the Partnership’s share of earnings or losses, less distributions. The Partnership will reconsider its determination of whether an entity is a VIE and who the primary beneficiary is if certain events occur that are likely to cause a change in the original determinations.
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Management makes significant estimates regarding revenue, impairment of long-lived assets and the allowance for doubtful accounts.
 
Operating Properties
Operating properties are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.  The cost of operating properties reflects their purchase price or development cost.  Costs incurred for the acquisition and renovation of an operating property are capitalized to the Partnership’s investment in that property.  Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.  Fully-depreciated assets are removed from the accounts. 
 
Purchase Price Allocation
The Partnership allocates the purchase price of properties to net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired based on fair values. Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) the Partnership’s estimate of the fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancellable term of the lease. Capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancellable terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining non-cancellable terms of the respective leases, including any fixed-rate renewal periods.
 
Other intangible assets also include amounts representing the value of tenant relationships and in-place leases based on the Partnership’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Partnership’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. The Partnership estimates the cost to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the in-place leases, include leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. This intangible asset is amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases. Partnership estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers or by using independent appraisals. Factors considered by the Partnership in their analysis include an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. The Partnership also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, the Partnership includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, which primarily range from three to twelve months.

BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
 
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
MARCH 31, 2005
 
Characteristics considered by the Partnership in allocating value to its tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Partnership’s business relationship with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors. The value of tenant relationship intangibles is amortized over the remaining initial lease term and expected renewals, but in no event longer than the remaining depreciable life of the building. The value of in-place leases is amortized over the remaining non-cancellable term of the respective leases and any fixed-rate renewal periods.
 
In the event that a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of each intangible, including market rate adjustments, in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, would be charged to expense.
 
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
Rental revenue is recognized on the straight-line basis regardless of when payments are due.  The cumulative difference between lease revenue recognized under the straight-line method and contractual lease payment terms is recorded as “accrued rent receivable” on the accompanying balance sheets.  The straight-line rent adjustment increased revenue by approximately $3.3 million and $1.9 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.  Tenant receivables and accrued rent receivables are carried net of the allowances for doubtful accounts of $4.5 million as of March 31, 2005 and $4.1 million as of December 31, 2004.  The allowance is based on management’s evaluation of the collectability of receivables, taking into account tenant specific considerations as well as the overall credit of the tenant portfolio.  The leases also typically provide for tenant reimbursement of common area maintenance and other operating expenses.   Tenant reimbursement revenue is recorded when earned, as the underlying expense of the Properties is incurred.  Other income is recorded when earned and is primarily comprised of termination fees received from tenants, bankruptcy settlement fees, third party leasing commissions, and third party management fees.  During the three-months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, other income includes net termination fees of $4.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively.  Deferred rental revenue represents rental revenue received from tenants prior to their due dates.
 
Equity-Based Compensation Plans
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 148 (“SFAS 148”), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure. SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123 (“SFAS 123”), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily adopts the fair value recognition method of recording stock option expense. SFAS 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 and APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entity’s accounting policy with respect to stock options on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements.  The Partnership adopted SFAS 148 on a prospective basis for all grants subsequent to January 1, 2002.
 
Prior to 2002, the Partnership accounted for stock options issued under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and Related Interpretations.  The following table illustrates the effect on net income available to common partnership units and earnings per units if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period (in thousands, except per unit amounts):

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Partnership accounts for its derivative instruments and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133 (“SFAS 133”), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and its corresponding amendments under SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – An Amendment of SFAS 133.  SFAS 133 requires the Partnership to measure every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) at fair value and record them in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability.  For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the changes in fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings.  For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income.  Changes in the ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the current period.  For the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, the Partnership was not party to any derivative contract designated as a fair value hedge.
 
The Partnership actively manages its ratio of fixed-to-floating rate debt.  To manage its fixed and floating rate debt in a cost-effective manner, the Partnership, from time to time, enters into interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges, under which it agrees to exchange various combinations of fixed and/or variable interest rates based on agreed upon notional amounts. 
 
Income Taxes
No federal or state income taxes are payable by the Partnership, and accordingly, no provision for taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The partners are to include their respective share of the Partnership’s profits or losses in their individual tax returns. The Partnership’s tax returns and the amount of allocable Partnership profits and losses are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. If such examination results in changes to Partnership profits or losses, then the tax liability of the partners would be changed accordingly.
 
The Partnership owns a subsidiary REIT that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code.  In management’s opinion, the requirements to maintain this election are being met.  The Partnership’s REIT subsidiary is subject to a 4% Federal excise tax if sufficient taxable income is not distributed within prescribed time limits.  The excise tax equals 4% of the annual amount, if any, by which the sum of (a) 85% of the subsidiary’s ordinary income and (b) 95% of the subsidiary’s net capital gain exceeds cash distributions and certain taxes paid by the subsidiary.
 
New Pronouncements
In October 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123R (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”).  SFAS 123R requires companies to categorize share-based payments as either liability or equity awards.  For liability awards, companies will remeasure the award at fair value at each balance sheet date until the award is settled.  Equity classified awards are measured at the fair value and are not remeasured.  SFAS 123R will be effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005.  Awards issued, modified, or settled after the effective date will be measured and recorded in accordance with SFAS 123R.  The Partnership believes that the implementation

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
MARCH 31, 2005
 
of this standard will not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 153, “Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions” (“SFAS 153”).  SFAS 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.   SFAS No. 153 is effective for non-monetary transactions occurring in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.  The Partnership believes that the implementation of this standard will not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Acquisitions and Dispositions
 
The Partnership’s acquisitions are accounted for by the purchase method.  The results of each acquired property are included in the Partnership’s results of operations from their respective purchase dates.
 
2005
 
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, the Partnership acquired 6.9 acres of developable land for an aggregate purchase price of $11.6 million.
 
2004
 
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, the Partnership sold one office property containing 37,000 net rentable square feet and one industrial property containing 45,000 net rentable square feet for an aggregate of $6.1 million, realizing a net gain of $.2 million.
 
On September 21, 2004, the Partnership completed the acquisition of 100% of the partnership interests in The Rubenstein Company, L.P. (“TRC”). Through the acquisition, the Partnership acquired 14 office properties (the “TRC Properties”) located in Pennsylvania and Delaware that contain approximately 3.5 million net rentable square feet. The results of TRC’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date.
 
The aggregate consideration for the TRC Properties was $631.3 million including $29.3 million of closing costs, debt prepayment penalties and debt premiums that are included in the basis of the assets acquired. The consideration was paid with $540.4 million of cash, $79.3 million of debt assumed, $1.6 million of other liabilities assumed, and 343,006 Class A Units valued at $10.0 million. The value of the debt assumed was based on prevailing market rates at the time of acquisition. The value of the Class A Units was based on the average trading price of the Company’s common shares.

The Partnership has agreed to issue the sellers up to a maximum of $9.7 million of additional Class A Units if certain of the TRC Properties achieve at least 95% occupancy prior to September 21, 2007.  Any contingent amounts ultimately payable would represent additional purchase price and would be reflected within the basis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
 
At the closing of this transaction, the Partnership agreed not to sell the TRC Properties in a transaction that would trigger taxable income to the contributors (i.e., sellers) for periods ranging from three to 15 years.  In the event that the Partnership sells any of the properties in such a transaction within the applicable restricted period, the Partnership will be required to pay significant tax liabilities that would be incurred by the contributors.
 
Pro forma information relating to the acquisition of TRC is presented below as if TRC was acquired and the related financing transactions occurred as January 1, 2004. These pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results which actually would have occurred if the acquisition had occurred on the first day of the periods presented, nor does the pro forma financial information purport to represent the results of operations for future periods:

4.     INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE VENTURES, AT EQUITY
 
As of March 31, 2005, the Partnership had an aggregate investment of approximately $12.7 million in nine Real Estate Ventures (net of returns of investment).  The Partnership formed these ventures with unaffiliated third parties to develop office properties or to acquire land in anticipation of possible development of office properties.  Seven of the Real Estate Ventures own eight office buildings that contain an aggregate of approximately 1.6 million net rentable square feet, one Real Estate Venture developed a hotel property that contains 137 rooms and one Real Estate Venture is developing an office property located in Charlottesville, Virginia.
 
The Partnership also has investments in two real estate ventures that are considered to be variable interest entities under FIN No. 46 and of which the Partnership is the primary beneficiary.  The financial information for these two real estate ventures (Four and Six Tower Bridge Associates) were consolidated into the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements effective March 31, 2004.  Prior to March 31, 2004, the Partnership accounted for its investment in these two ventures under the equity method. 
 
The Partnership accounts for its non-controlling interests in its Real Estate Ventures using the equity method.  Non-controlling ownership interests range from 6% to 50%, subject to specified priority allocations in certain of the Real Estate Ventures.  The Partnership’s investments, initially recorded at cost, are subsequently adjusted for the Partnership’s share of the Real Estate Ventures’ income or loss and cash contributions and distributions.

The reduction in the historical cost values during the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 were due to re-allocations of the Partnership’s purchase price for the TRC Properties to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on final appraisals and the retirement of assets that became fully amortized during the aforementioned period.

8.     UNSECURED CREDIT FACILITY
 
The Partnership utilizes credit facility borrowings for general business purposes, including the acquisition, development and redevelopment of properties and the repayment of other debt.  The Partnership maintains a $450.0 million unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that matures in May 2007.  Borrowings under the Credit Facility generally bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread over LIBOR ranging from 0.65% to 1.2% based on the Partnership’s unsecured senior debt rating.  The Partnership has the option to increase the Credit Facility to $600.0 million subject to the absence of any defaults and the Partnership’s ability to acquire additional commitments from our existing lenders or new lenders.  As of March 31, 2005, the Partnership had $200.0 million of borrowings and $10.7 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility, leaving $239.3 million of unused availability.  The weighted-average interest rate on the Partnership’s unsecured credit facilities, including the effect of interest rate hedges during 2004, was 3.4% during 2005 and 4.6% during 2004.
 
The Credit Facility requires the maintenance of certain ratios related to minimum net worth, debt-to-total capitalization and fixed charge coverage and various non-financial covenants.

In the normal course of its on-going business operations, the Partnership encounters economic risk.  There are three main components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk.  The Partnership is subject to interest rate risk on its interest-bearing liabilities.  Credit risk is the risk of inability or unwillingness of tenants to make contractually required payments.  Market risk is the risk of declines in the value of properties due to changes in rental rates, occupancy levels, interest rates or other market factors affecting the valuation of properties held by the Partnership.
 
Use of Derivative Financial Instruments
The Partnership’s use of derivative instruments is limited to the utilization of interest rate agreements or other instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures and not for speculative purposes.  The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Partnership’s operating and financial structure, as well as to hedge specific transactions.  The counterparties to these arrangements are major financial institutions with which the Partnership and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships.  The Partnership is potentially exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by these counterparties.  However, because of the high credit ratings of the counterparties, the Partnership does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet these obligations as they come due.  The Partnership does not hedge credit or property value market risks.
 
The Partnership formally assesses, both at inception of the hedge and on an on-going basis, whether each derivative is highly-effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item.  If management determines that a derivative is not highly-effective as a hedge or if a derivative ceases to be a highly-effective hedge, the Partnership will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively.
 
As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Partnership was not party to any derivative financial instruments. 
 
In October 2004, in anticipation of the offering of the 2009 and 2014 unsecured notes, the Partnership entered into treasury lock agreements.  The treasury lock agreements were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk and qualified for hedge accounting.  The treasury lock agreements were for notional amounts totaling $194.8 million for an expiration of five years at an all-in-rate of 4.8% and for notional amounts totaling $188.0 million for an expiration of 10 years at an all-in-rate of 5.6%.  The treasury lock agreements were settled in October 2004 upon the completion of the offering of the 2009 and 2014 unsecured notes at a total cost of approximately $3.2 million.  The cost was recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and is being amortized to interest expense over the terms of the respective unsecured notes.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants related to the Partnership’s investments or rental operations are engaged in similar business activities, or are located in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their inability to meet contractual obligations, including those to the Partnership, to be similarly affected.  The Partnership regularly monitors its tenant base to assess potential concentrations of credit risk.  Management believes the current credit risk portfolio is reasonably well diversified and does not contain any unusual concentration of credit risk.   No tenant accounted for 5% or more of the Partnership’s rents during the three-month period ended March 31, 2005.  
 
10.     DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 the Partnership had no discontinued operations.  For the three-month period ended March 31, 2004, income from discontinued operations relates to 4 properties that the Partnership sold from January 1, 2004.    The following table summarizes the revenue and expense information for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 (in thousands):

14.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Legal Proceedings
The Partnership is involved from time to time in litigation on various matters, including disputes with tenants and disputes arising out of agreements to purchase or sell properties.  Given the nature of the Partnership’s business activities, these lawsuits are considered routine to the conduct of its business.  The result of any particular lawsuit cannot be predicted, because of the very nature of litigation, the litigation process and its adversarial nature, and the jury system.

Environmental
 
As an owner of real estate, the Partnership is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state, and local governments.  The Partnership’s compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations, and the Partnership does not believe it will have a material adverse effect in the future.  However, the Partnership cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on its current Properties or on properties that the Partnership may acquire.
 
Other Commitments or Contingencies
As part of our TRC acquisition, the Partnership agreed to issue to the sellers up to a maximum of $9.7 million of Class A Units of the Partnership if certain of the acquired properties achieve at least 95% occupancy prior to September 21, 2007.  At March 31, 2005, the maximum amount payable under this arrangement was $8.4 million. 
 
As part of the TRC acquisition, the Partnership acquired an interest in Two Logan Square, a 696,477 square foot office building in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, primarily through a second and third mortgage secured by this property pursuant to which the Partnership receives substantially all cash flows from the property.  The Partnership currently does not expect to take title to Two Logan Square until, at the earliest, September 2019.  In the event that the Partnership takes title to Two Logan Square upon a foreclosure of its mortgages, the Partnership has agreed to make a payment to an unaffiliated third party with a residual interest as a fee owner of this property.  The amount of the payment would be $0.6 million if we must pay a state and local transfer upon taking title, or $2.9 million if no transfer tax is payable upon the transfer.
 
As part of the TRC acquisition and several of our other acquisitions, the Partnership has agreed not to sell the acquired properties.  In the case of TRC, the Partnership agreed not to sell the acquired properties for periods ranging from three to 15 years from the acquisition date as follows: 201 Radnor Financial Center, 555 Radnor Financial Center and 300 Delaware Avenue (three years); One Rodney Square and 130/150/170 Radnor Financial Center (10 years); and One Logan Square, Two Logan Square and Radnor Corporate Center (15 years).  The Partnership also owns 14 other properties that aggregate 1.0 million square feet and have agreed not to sell these properties for periods that expire through 2008.  These agreements generally provide that we may dispose of the subject Properties only in transactions that qualify as tax-free exchanges under Section 1031 of the Code or in other tax deferred transactions.  In the event that the Partnership sells any of the properties within the applicable restricted period in non-exempt transactions, the Partnership has agreed to pay significant tax liabilities that would be incurred by the parties who sold the applicable property.
 
In 1998, we acquired a portfolio of properties from Donald E. Axinn and affiliates.  Upon completion of our acquisition, Mr. Axinn joined the Company’s Board.  The 1998 agreement provides for our acquisition in September 2005 of an approximately 141,724 square foot office building located at 101 Paragon Drive, Montvale, New Jersey for $11.0 million from an entity primarily owned and controlled by Mr. Axinn.  The Partnership and Mr. Axinn are currently negotiating a modification of the 1998 agreement that would provide for the following: (i) Mr. Axinn would pay us $500,000; (ii) our obligation to fund $11.0 million to acquire 101 Paragon would be deferred for approximately five years and the amount of our obligation would be reduced to $5.5 million, with Mr. Axinn assuming responsibility to fund the remaining $5.5 million; and (iii) we and Mr. Axinn would share equally in any net cash flow and in any proceeds of a sale of 101 Paragon, and we would each be required to fund any operating expenses associated with ownership of 101 Paragon.  Consummation of the modification is subject to several conditions, including preparation of customary documentation.
 
The Partnership invests in its Properties and regularly incurs capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business to maintain the Properties.  The Partnership believes that such expenditures enhance the competitiveness of the Properties.  The Partnership also enters into construction, utility and service contracts in the ordinary course of business which may extend beyond one year.  These contracts include terms that provide for cancellation with insignificant or no cancellation penalties.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.  This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and as such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Partnership to be materially different from results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Although the Partnership believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that these expectations will be realized.  The Partnership assumes no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from management’s current expectations include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic conditions, changes in local real estate conditions (including changes in rental rates and the number of competing properties), changes in the economic conditions affecting industries in which the Partnership’s principal tenants compete, the Partnership’s failure to lease unoccupied space in accordance with the Partnership’s projections, the failure of the Partnership to re-lease occupied space upon expiration of leases, the bankruptcy of major tenants, changes in prevailing interest rates, the unavailability of equity and debt financing, unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition and integration of the Partnership’s acquisitions, costs to complete and lease-up pending developments, increased costs for, or lack of availability of, adequate insurance, including for terrorist acts, demand for tenant services beyond those traditionally provided by landlords, potential liability under environmental or other laws, the existence of complex regulations relating to the Company’s status as a REIT and to the Partnership’s acquisition, disposition and development activities, the adverse consequences of the Company’s failure to qualify as a REIT and the other risks identified in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
 
OVERVIEW
 
The Partnership currently manages its portfolio within five geographic segments: (1) Pennsylvania—West, (2) Pennsylvania—North, (3) New Jersey, (4) Urban and (5) Virginia.  The Partnership believes it has established an effective platform in these office and industrial markets that provides a foundation for achieving its goals of maximizing market penetration, optimizing operating economies of scale and creating long-term investment value. 
 
As of March 31, 2005, the Partnership’s portfolio consisted of 223 office properties, 23 industrial facilities and one mixed-use property that contained an aggregate of approximately 19.2 million net rentable square feet.  As of March 31, 2005, we held economic interests in nine unconsolidated real estate ventures that contained approximately 1.6 million net rentable square feet (the “Real Estate Ventures”) formed with third parties to develop or own commercial properties.  In addition, we own interests in two consolidated real estate ventures that own two office properties containing approximately 0.2 million net rentable square feet.
 
The Partnership receives income primarily from rental revenue (including tenant reimbursements) from the Properties and, to a lesser extent, from the management of properties owned by third parties and from investments in the Real Estate Ventures. 
 
The Partnership’s financial performance is dependent upon the demand for office and other commercial space in its markets.  Current economic conditions, including recessionary pressures and capital market volatility, have enhanced the challenges facing the Partnership.
 
The Partnership seeks revenue growth through an increase in occupancy of its portfolio (91.3% at March 31, 2005, 87.6% including the five lease-up assets acquired as part of the TRC acquisition in September 2004) and through acquisitions.  However, with a downturn in general leasing activity, owners of commercial real estate, including the Partnership, are experiencing longer periods of rental downtime and are incurring higher capital costs and leasing commissions to achieve targeted tenancies. 
 
As the Partnership seeks to increase revenue, management also focuses on strategies to minimize operating risks, including (i) tenant rollover risk, (ii) tenant credit risk and (iii) development risk.
 
27

 
Tenant Rollover Risk:
The Partnership is subject to the risk that, upon expiration, leases may not be renewed, the space may not be re-leased, or the terms of renewal or re-leasing (including the cost of renovations) may be less favorable than the current lease terms.  Leases totaling approximately 11.2% of the net rentable square feet of the Properties as of March 31, 2005 expire without penalty through the end of 2005.  In addition, leases totaling approximately 11.4% of the net rentable square feet of the Properties as of March 31, 2005 are scheduled to expire without penalty in 2006.  The Partnership maintains an active dialogue with its tenants in an effort to achieve lease renewals.  The Partnership’s retention rate for leases that were scheduled to expire in the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 was 69.3%.  If the Partnership is unable to renew leases for a substantial portion of the space under expiring leases, or promptly re-lease this space at anticipated rental rates, the Partnership’s cash flow could be adversely impacted.
 
Tenant Credit Risk:
In the event of a tenant default, the Partnership may experience delays in enforcing its rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting its investment.  Management regularly evaluates its accounts receivable reserve policy in light of its tenant base and general and local economic conditions.  The accounts receivable allowances were $4.5 million or 8.6% of total receivables (including accrued rent receivable) as of March 31, 2005 compared to $4.1 million or 8.4% of total receivables (including accrued rent receivable) as of December 31, 2004.
 
Development Risk:
As of March 31, 2005, the Partnership had in development three office properties and had in redevelopment two office properties aggregating 1.0 million square feet.  The total net investment in these projects is estimated to be $217.9 million of which $125.5 million had been paid as of March 31, 2005.  As of the date of this Form 10-Q, these projects were approximately 79% leased.  One of these development properties is Cira Centre, a 28-story office tower located adjacent to Amtrak’s 30th Street Station in the University City District of Philadelphia.  The total net investment in this project is estimated to be $177.6 million and the Partnership expects to complete the project in the fourth quarter of 2005.  As of the date of this Form 10-Q, the office portion of this project was approximately 87% leased.  While the Partnership is actively marketing space at these projects to prospective tenants, management cannot provide assurance as to the timing or terms of any leases for such space.  If one or more of the Partnership’s assumptions regarding the successful efforts of development and leasing are incorrect, the resulting adjustments could impact earnings.
 
ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS
 
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, the Partnership acquired 6.9 acres of developable land for an aggregate purchase price of $11.6 million.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and current economic conditions.  On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions including those related to revenue, impairment of long-lived assets and the allowance for doubtful accounts.  Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. 
 
The Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, contains a discussion of the Partnership’s critical accounting policies.  See also Note 2 in the Partnership’s unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 as set forth herein.  Management discusses the Partnership’s critical accounting policies and estimates with the Company’s Audit Committee.

Revenue
 
Revenue increased by $25.7 million primarily due to properties that were acquired in 2004 and an increase in other income in 2005 as compared to 2004.  Revenue for Same Store Properties increased by $4.3 million due to increased tenant reimbursement revenue resulting from increased property operating expenses in 2005 as compared to 2004 and a $3.7 million net termination fee in other income associated with a single tenant termination in 2005 as compared to 2004.  Average occupancy for the Same Store Properties increased to 92.0% in 2005 from 91.3% in 2004.  Other revenue represents lease termination fees, bankruptcy settlement proceeds, leasing commissions and third-party management fees.  Total Portfolio other revenue increased by $4.1 million in 2005 primarily due a $3.7 million net termination fee associated with a single tenant termination in 2005. 
 
Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes
 
Property operating expenses increased by $7.7 million in 2005 primarily due to the properties acquired in the latter half of 2004 and slightly increased snow removal costs. Property operating expenses for the Same Store Properties increased by $0.5 million in 2005 due to slightly increased snow removal costs at various Same Store Properties. 
 
Real estate taxes increased by $2.8 million primarily due to the properties acquired in the latter half of 2004 and increased tax rates and property assessments.  Real estate taxes for the Same Store Properties increased by $0.4 million in 2005 as a result of higher tax rates and property assessments.
 
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $12.6 million in 2005 primarily due to the properties acquired in the latter half of 2004 and amortization from tenant improvements and leasing commissions paid during 2004.
 
Administrative Expenses
 
Administrative expenses increased by $1.3 million in 2005 primarily due to increased spending during the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 due to additional personnel hired as part of the TRC acquisition in September 2004, higher compensation and benefits costs for employees and increased spending on process and technology improvements. 
 
Interest Income
 
Interest income increased by $0.3 million in 2005 primarily due to interest associated with a receivable the Partnership acquired as part of the TRC Acquisition in September 2004.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense increased by $5.7 million in 2005 primarily due to increased debt from the Partnership’s fixed rate unsecured notes issued in the fourth quarter of 2004, offset by decreased interest expense on the Partnership’s unsecured line of credit resulting from a decrease in the average LIBOR rate during the periods as well as the Partnership’s spread over LIBOR. 
 
Equity in Income of Real Estate Ventures
 
Equity in income of Real Estate Ventures increased by $0.3 million in 2005 as a result of increased net income from the Real Estate Ventures.
 
Minority Interest
 
Minority interest from continuing operations represents the income attributable to the interest of the outside joint venture partners in the net income (loss) of the Partnership’s two consolidated real estate ventures.  These two real estate ventures were consolidated effective March 31, 2004.
 
31

 
Discontinued Operations
 
Discontinued operations decreased by $0.2 million in 2005 primarily due to the timing of property sales for assets included in
discontinued operations.   
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
General
 
Our principal liquidity needs for the next twelve months are as follows:
 
fund normal recurring expenses,
meet debt service requirements,
fund capital expenditures, including capital and tenant improvements and leasing costs,
fund current development costs, including $74 million expected to fund continued development of Cira Centre in University City, Philadelphia, and
fund distributions declared by our Board of Trustees.
 
We believe that these needs will be satisfied using cash flows generated by operations and provided by financing activities. Rental revenue, recovery income from tenants, and other income from operations are our principal sources of cash used to pay operating expenses, debt service, recurring capital expenditures and the minimum distribution required to maintain the Company’s REIT qualification. We seek to increase cash flows from our existing properties by maintaining quality standards for our properties that promote high occupancy rates and permit increases in rental rates while reducing tenant turnover and controlling operating expenses. Our sources of revenue also include third-party fees generated by our property management, leasing, development and construction businesses. Consequently, we believe our revenue, together with proceeds from financing activities, will continue to provide the necessary funds for our short-term liquidity needs. However, material changes in these factors may adversely affect our net cash flows. Such changes, in turn, would adversely affect our ability to fund distributions, debt service payments and tenant improvements. In addition, a material adverse change in our cash provided by operations may affect the financial performance covenants under our unsecured Credit Facility and unsecured notes.
 
Our principal liquidity needs for periods beyond twelve months are for the costs of developments, redevelopments, property acquisitions, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital improvements.  We draw on multiple financing sources to fund our long-term capital needs. Our Credit Facility is utilized for general business purposes, including the acquisition, development and redevelopment of properties and the repayment of other debt. In the fourth quarter of 2004 we completed two offerings of unsecured notes and expect to utilize the debt market and common equity as capital sources for other long-term capital needs.
 
Cash Flows
 
The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statement of cash flows and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented.
 
As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, we maintained cash and cash equivalents of $15.5 million and $15.4 million, an increase of $0.1 million.  This increase was the result of the following changes in cash flow from our various activities for the three-month periods ended March 31:

Our principal source of cash flows is from the operation of our Properties.  Our decreased cash flow from operating activities is primarily attributable to the timing of real estate tax payments and deposits on future property acquisitions.

Increased investing activity was comprised of our acquisition of properties/developable land parcels ($11.6 million) and construction costs related to our Cira Centre development project and various other capital and tenant improvement projects (totaling $33.2 million in 2005).
 
Increased financing activity was comprised of additional borrowings on our Credit Facility in 2005 ($48 million).  These proceeds were used to fund the investing activity discussed above.
 
Capitalization
 
          Indebtedness
 
As of March 31 2005, we had approximately $1.3 billion of outstanding indebtedness.  The table below summarizes our mortgage notes payable, our unsecured notes and our revolving credit facility at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004:

The variable rate debt shown above generally bears interest based on various spreads over LIBOR (the term of which is selected by the Partnership).
 
The Partnership utilizes credit facility borrowings for general business purposes, including the acquisition, development and redevelopment of properties and the repayment of other debt.  The Partnership maintains a $450 million unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that matures in May 2007, subject to a one year extension option upon payment of a fee and absence any defaults at the time of the extension.  Borrowings under the new Credit Facility generally bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread over LIBOR ranging from 0.65% to 1.20% based on the Partnership’s unsecured senior debt rating.  The Partnership has an option to increase its maximum borrowings under the Credit Facility to $600 million subject to the absence of any defaults and our ability to acquire additional commitments from our existing lenders or new lenders.  The Credit Facility contains various financial and non-financial covenants.  As of March 31, 2005, the Partnership was in compliance with all such covenants.
 
The Partnership expects to renegotiate its Credit Facility prior to maturity or extend its term.
 
The Partnership utilizes unsecured notes as a long-term financing alternative.  The indentures and note purchase agreements contain various financial restrictions and requirements, including (1) a leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, (2) a secured debt leverage ratio not to exceed 40%, (3) an debt service coverage ratio of greater than 1.5 to 1.0, and
 
33

 
(4) an unencumbered asset value of not less than 150% of unsecured debt.  In addition, the note purchase agreement relating to the 2008 Notes contains covenants that are similar to the above covenants.  At March 31, 2005, the Partnership was in compliance with each of these financial restrictions and requirements.
 
The Partnership has mortgages, loans payable and other obligations which consist of various loans collateralized by certain of the Partnership’s Properties. Payments on mortgages, loans payable and other obligations are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest, or interest only.
 
The Partnership intends to refinance its mortgage indebtedness as they become due primarily through the use of unsecured debt or equity. 
 
          Partner’s Equity
 
On March 16, 2005, the Partnership declared a distribution of $0.44 per Common Partnership Unit, totaling $24.6 million, which was paid on April 15, 2005 to unit holders of record as of April 6, 2005.  On this same date, the Partnership declared a $0.44 per unit cash distribution to holders of Class A Units totaling $0.9 million.
 
On March 16, 2005, the Partnership declared distributions to holders of its Series D Preferred Mirror Units and Series E Preferred Mirror Units to holders of record on March 30, 2005.  These units are currently entitled to a cumulative preferential return of 7.50% and 7.375%, respectively.  Distributions paid on April 15, 2005 to holders of Series D Preferred Mirror Units and Series E Preferred Mirror Units totaled $.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
 
The Board of Trustees of the Company approved a share repurchase program authorizing it to repurchase up to 4,000,000 of its outstanding Common Shares.  Through March 31, 2005, the Company had repurchased 3.2 million of its Common Shares at an average price of $17.75 per share.  Concurrent with share repurchases by the Company, the Partnership has repurchased 3.2 million of Partnership Units from the Company at an average price of $17.75 per unit.  Under the share repurchase program, the Company has the authority to repurchase an additional 762,000 shares, and, in exchange for the funds required to repurchase these shares, the Partnership will repurchase an equivalent number of Common Partnership Units from the Company.  No time limit has been placed on the duration of the share repurchase program.
 
          Shelf Registration Statement
 
The Company and Partnership have an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that registered $750.0 million in common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares, warrants, and $750.0 million in debt securities.  As of March 31, 2005, the registration statement had $533 million of capacity for future issuances of common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares and warrants and had $225 million of capacity for future issuances of debt securities.
 
Short- and Long-Term Liquidity
 
The Partnership believes that its cash flow from operations is adequate to fund its short-term liquidity requirements.  Cash flow from operations is generated primarily from rental revenues and operating expense reimbursements from tenants and management services income from providing services to third parties.  The Partnership intends to use these funds to meet short-term liquidity needs, which are to fund operating expenses, debt service requirements, recurring capital expenditures, tenant allowances, leasing commissions and the minimum distributions required to maintain the Company’s REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code.
 
The Partnership expects to meet its long-term liquidity requirements, such as for property acquisitions, development, investments in real estate ventures, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other significant capital improvements, through cash from operations, borrowings under its Credit Facility, other long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of equity securities and the proceeds from the disposition of selected assets.

Inflation
 
A majority of the Partnership’s leases provide for separate escalations of real estate taxes and operating expenses either on a triple net basis or over a base amount.  In addition, many of the office leases provide for fixed base rent increases.  The Partnership believes that inflationary increases in expenses will be significantly offset by expense reimbursement and contractual rent increases.

The Partnership intends to refinance its mortgage notes payable as they become due or repay those that are secured by properties being sold.  The Partnership expects to renegotiate its Credit Facility prior to maturity or extend its term.
 
In 1998, we acquired a portfolio of properties from Donald E. Axinn and affiliates.  Upon completion of our acquisition, Mr. Axinn joined our Board.  The 1998 agreement provides for our acquisition in September 2005 of an approximately 141,724 square foot office building located at 101 Paragon Drive, Montvale, New Jersey for $11.0 million from an entity primarily owned and controlled by Mr. Axinn.  The Partnership and Mr. Axinn are currently negotiating a modification of the 1998 agreement that would provide for the following: (i) Mr. Axinn would pay us $500,000; (ii) our obligation to fund $11.0 million to acquire 101 Paragon would be deferred for approximately five years and the amount of our obligation would be reduced to $5.5 million, with Mr. Axinn assuming responsibility to fund the remaining $5.5 million; and (iii) we and Mr. Axinn would share equally in any net cash flow and in any proceeds of a sale of 101 Paragon, and we would each be required to fund any operating expenses associated with ownership of 101 Paragon.  Consummation of the modification is subject to several conditions, including preparation of customary documentation. 
 
As part of our purchase of the TRC Properties in September 2004, the Partnership agreed to issue to the sellers up to a maximum of $9.7 million of Class A Units of the Partnership if certain of the acquired properties achieve at least 95% occupancy prior to September 21, 2007.  At March 31, 2005, the maximum amount payable under this arrangement was $8.4 million. 
 
As part of the TRC Properties, we acquired our interest in Two Logan Square, a 696,477 square foot office building in Philadelphia, primarily through a second and third mortgage secured by this property.  We currently do not expect to take title to Two Logan Square until, at the earliest, September 2019.  In the event that we take title to Two Logan Square upon a foreclosure of our mortgage, we have agreed to make a payment to an unaffiliated third party with a residual interest in the fee owner of this property.  The amount of the payment would be $0.6 million if we must pay a state and local transfer upon taking title, and $2.9 million if no transfer tax is payable upon the transfer.
 
As part of the TRC Properties and several of our other acquisitions, we agreed not to sell the acquired properties.  In the case of the TRC Properties, we agreed not to sell the acquired properties for periods ranging from three to 15 years from the acquisition date as follows: 201 Radnor Financial Center, 555 Radnor Financial Center and 300 Delaware Avenue (three years); One Rodney Square and 130/150/170 Radnor Financial Center (10 years); and One Logan Square, Two Logan Square and Radnor Corporate Center (15 years).  We also own 14 properties that aggregate
 
35

 
1.0 million square feet and have agreed not to sell these properties for periods that expire through 2008.  These agreements generally provide that we may dispose of the subject Properties only in transactions that qualify as tax-free exchanges under Section 1031 of the Code or in other tax deferred transactions.  In the event that we sell any of the properties within the applicable restricted period in non-exempt transactions, we have agreed to pay significant tax liabilities that would be incurred by the parties who sold us the applicable property.
 
We invest in our Properties and regularly incur capital expenditures in the ordinary course to maintain the Properties.  We believe that such expenditures enhance the competitiveness of the Properties.  We also enter into construction, utility and service contracts in the ordinary course of business which may extend beyond one year.  These contracts include terms that provide for cancellation with insignificant or no cancellation penalties.
 
Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, commodity prices and equity prices.  In pursuing its business plan, the primary market risk to which the Partnership is exposed is interest rate risk.  Changes in the general level of interest rates prevailing in the financial markets may affect the spread between the Partnership’s yield on invested assets and cost of funds and, in turn, the Partnership’s ability to make distributions or payments to its shareholders.  While the Partnership has not experienced any significant credit losses, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, defaults could increase and result in losses to the Partnership which adversely affect its operating results and liquidity. 
 
There have been no material changes in Quantitative and Qualitative disclosures in 2004 from the disclosures included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.  Reference is made to Item 7 included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the caption  “Liquidity and Capital Resources” under Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
Item 4.   Controls and Procedures
 
 
(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.  The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, have concluded that the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
 
 
 
(b)
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.  There was no change in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
