(Unaudited)

Note 1—Organization and Description of Business

The terms “Maguire Properties,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” and “our” as used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Maguire Properties, Inc.

We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and we operate as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We are the largest owner and operator of Class A office properties in the Los Angeles Central Business District (“LACBD”) and are primarily focused on owning and operating high-quality office properties in the high-barrier-to-entry Southern California market.

Through our controlling interest in Maguire Properties, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner and hold an approximate 87.8% interest, and the subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership, including Maguire Properties TRS Holdings, Inc., Maguire Properties TRS Holdings II, Inc., and Maguire Properties Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively known as the “Services Companies”), we own, manage, lease, acquire and develop real estate located in: the greater Los Angeles area of California; Orange County, California; San Diego, California; and Denver, Colorado. These locales primarily consist of office properties, parking garages, a retail property and a hotel.

As of September 30, 2009, our Operating Partnership indirectly owns whole or partial interests in 33 office and retail properties, a 350-room hotel and off-site parking garages and on-site structured and surface parking (our “Total Portfolio”). We hold an approximate 87.8% interest in our Operating Partnership, and therefore do not completely own the Total Portfolio. Excluding the 80% interest that our Operating Partnership does not own in Maguire Macquarie Office, LLC, an unconsolidated joint venture formed in conjunction with Macquarie Office Trust, our Operating Partnership’s share of the Total Portfolio is 14.7 million square feet and is referred to as our “Effective Portfolio.” Our Effective Portfolio represents our Operating Partnership’s economic interest in the office, hotel and retail properties from which we derive our net income or loss, which we recognize in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The aggregate square footage of our Effective Portfolio has not been reduced to reflect our minority interest partners’ share of our Operating Partnership.

Our property statistics as of September 30, 2009 are as follows:

	Number of				Total Portfolio							Effective Portfolio
	Properties		Buildings		Square Feet			Parking Square Footage		Parking Spaces		Square Feet			Parking Square Footage		Parking Spaces
Wholly owned properties		21		35		11,361,619			7,139,188		22,814		11,361,619			7,139,188		22,814

Percentage leased						82.3	%						82.1	%

As of September 30, 2009, the majority of our Total Portfolio is located in ten Southern California markets: the LACBD; the Tri-Cities area of Pasadena, Glendale and Burbank; the Cerritos submarket; the Santa Monica Professional and Entertainment submarket; the John Wayne Airport, Costa Mesa, Central Orange County and Brea submarkets of Orange County; and the Sorrento Mesa and Mission Valley submarkets of San Diego County. We also have an interest in one property in Denver, Colorado (a joint venture property). We directly manage the properties in our Total Portfolio through our Operating Partnership and/or our Services Companies, except for Cerritos Corporate Center and the Westin® Pasadena Hotel.

Asset Disposition Program

During the second quarter of 2009, we conducted an evaluation of our portfolio, with a focus on our financial position and core assets. As a result of this evaluation, our board of directors approved management’s plan to cease funding cash shortfalls at the following properties: (1) Park Place I in Irvine, California, (2) Stadium Towers Plaza in Central Orange County, California, (3) Park Place II in Irvine, California, (4) 2600 Michelson in Irvine, California, (5) Pacific Arts Plaza in Costa Mesa, California, (6) 550 South Hope in Los Angeles, California and (7) 500 Orange Tower in Central Orange County, California. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we refer to the properties listed above, excluding Park Place I which has been disposed of, as “Properties in Default.”

As of September 30, 2009, the special purpose property-owning subsidiary was current on the required debt service payments for the 500 Orange Tower mortgage, which debt service is guaranteed by our Operating Partnership through December 31, 2009. The special purpose property-owning subsidiaries defaulted on the mortgage loans encumbering Park Place I, Stadium Towers Plaza, Park Place II, 2600 Michelson, Pacific Arts Plaza and 550 South Hope as a result of our decision to not make the required debt service payments during the third quarter of 2009.

Our mortgage loans at Stadium Towers Plaza, Park Place II, 2600 Michelson, Pacific Arts Plaza and 550 South Hope continue to be in default as of the date of this filing. We are in discussions with the special servicers regarding a cooperative resolution on each of these assets. See Note 8 “Mortgage and Other Secured Loans.”

Note 2—Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only those of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and interim results of Maguire Properties, Inc., our Operating Partnership and the subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership as of and for the periods presented have been included. Our results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

We classify properties as held for sale when certain criteria set forth in the Long-Lived Assets Classified as Held for Sale Subsections of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification Subtopic 360-10 are met. At that time, we present the assets and liabilities of the property held for sale separately in our consolidated balance sheet. We cease recording depreciation and amortization expense at the time a property is classified as held for sale. Properties held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell. As of December 31, 2008, our 3161 Michelson property was classified as held for sale. None of our properties, including the Properties in Default and 130 State College, met the criteria to be held for sale as of September 30, 2009. The Properties in Default do not meet the criteria to be held for sale as their disposition will not be accounted for as a sale under GAAP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior years have been reclassified to reflect the activity of discontinued operations and the reclassification of a non-operating note receivable from rents and other receivables, net to other assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could ultimately differ from such estimates.

In preparing these financial statements, we evaluated the events and transactions that occurred after September 30, 2009 through November 5, 2009, the date these financial statements were available to be issued.

The balance sheet data as of December 31, 2008 has been derived from our audited financial statements; however, the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 30, 2009.

Note 3—Liquidity

Our business requires continued access to adequate cash to fund our liquidity needs. Until the economic picture becomes clearer, our foremost priorities for the near term are preserving and generating cash sufficient to fund our liquidity needs. Given the deterioration and uncertainty in the economy and financial markets, management believes that access to any source of cash will be challenging and is planning accordingly.

The following are our expected actual and potential near-term sources of liquidity, which we currently believe will be sufficient to fund our near-term liquidity needs:

Unrestricted and restricted cash;

Cash generated from operations;

Asset dispositions;

Contribution of existing assets to joint ventures;

Proceeds from additional secured or unsecured debt financings; and/or

Proceeds from public or private issuance of debt or equity securities.

These sources are essential to our liquidity and financial position, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully access them (particularly in the current economic environment). If we are unable to generate adequate cash from these sources, we will have liquidity-related problems and will be exposed to significant risks. While we believe that we will have adequate cash for our near-term uses, significant issues with access to the liquidity sources identified above could lead to our insolvency.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

In 2008, we announced our intent to sell certain assets, which we expect will help us (1) preserve cash, through the potential disposition of properties with negative cash flow and/or other potential near-term cash outlay requirements (including debt maturities) and (2) generate cash, through the potential disposition of strategically-identified non-core properties that we believe have equity value above the debt.

As described in Note 1 “Organization and Description of Business–Asset Disposition Program,” we ceased funding cash shortfalls at, and our special purpose property-owning subsidiaries did not make the required debt service payments on, our mortgage loans at Park Place I (which was disposed of on August 11, 2009 pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure), Stadium Towers Plaza, Park Place II, 2600 Michelson, Pacific Arts Plaza and 550 South Hope, thereby constituting a default under each such loan. As a result of the defaults under these mortgage loans, the lenders or special servicers have required that the rental payments made by tenants of the Properties in Default be deposited in restricted lockbox accounts. As such, we do not have direct access to these rental payments, and the disbursement of cash from these restricted lockbox accounts to us is at the discretion of the lender or special servicers. We continue to manage the day-to-day activities of the Properties in Default and are working with the lenders or special servicers to receive disbursements from the restricted lockbox accounts to fund property operating expenses and leasing costs during the default period. Currently, we are not utilizing our unrestricted cash to pay for operating expenses of the Properties in Default.

With respect to the remainder of 2009 and the first part of 2010, we are actively marketing several non-core assets that could potentially generate net proceeds, including the Lantana Media Campus located in Santa Monica, California. The marketing process has been lengthier than anticipated for these properties and expected pricing has declined (in some cases materially). This trend may continue or worsen. The foregoing means that the number of assets we could potentially sell to generate net proceeds has decreased, and the amount of expected net proceeds in the event of any asset sale has also decreased. We may be unable to complete the disposition of identified properties in the near term or at all, which would significantly impact our liquidity situation.

As of September 30, 2009, we had $4.4 billion of total consolidated debt, including $0.9 billion of debt associated with Properties in Default. Our substantial indebtedness requires us to use a material portion of our cash flow to service principal and interest on our debt, which limits the cash flow available for other business expenses and opportunities.

As our debt matures, our principal payment obligations present significant future cash requirements. Because of our limited unrestricted cash and the reduced market value of our assets when compared with the debt balances on those assets, upcoming debt maturities present cash obligations that the relevant special purpose property-owning subsidiary obligor may not be able to satisfy. For assets that we do not or cannot dispose of and for which the relevant property-owning subsidiary is unable or unwilling to fund the resulting obligations, we will seek to extend or refinance the applicable loans or may default upon such loans. Historically, extending or refinancing loans has required the payment of certain fees to, and expenses of, the applicable lenders. Any future extensions or refinancings will likely require increased fees due to tightened lending practices. These fees and cash flow restrictions will affect our ability to fund our other liquidity uses. In addition, the terms of the extensions or refinancings may include operational and financial covenants significantly more restrictive than our current debt covenants.

Disposition

We completed a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with the lender to dispose of Park Place I located in Irvine, California during the three months ended September 30, 2009. As a result of the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, we were relieved of the obligation to pay the $170.0 million mortgage loan on the property as well as $0.8 million of unpaid interest related to the mortgage. We recorded a $0.3 million loss from early extinguishment of debt related to the writeoff of unamortized loan costs related to this loan.

Loan Amendments and Extension

Lantana Media Campus Construction Loan—

On July 31, 2009, we entered into a loan modification to amend the financial covenants of our Lantana Media Campus construction loan. As a result of the modification, effective as of June 30, 2009, the minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the loan agreement) that we must maintain during the life of this loan is reduced to $50.0 million (previously $500.0 million) and the minimum amount of liquidity (as defined in the loan agreement) that we must maintain during the life of this loan is reduced to $25.0 million (previously $50.0 million).

The maximum amount available under this loan has been reduced from $88.0 million to $81.1 million. The amount available for future funding under this loan has been reduced to $3.2 million as a result of the principal paydown combined with the reduction in the maximum loan amount. This loan modification also obligates us to make certain principal prepayments if the debt service coverage ratio (as defined in the loan agreement) is not at least 1.20 to 1.00 at the end of any calendar quarter and if, based on an appraisal, the loan to value ratio is more than 60%. The amount guaranteed by our Operating Partnership is now $20.3 million until the loan is fully repaid.

As part of the conditions of this loan modification, we made a principal paydown totaling $6.0 million in July 2009 in satisfaction of the payment required to extend the maturity date of this loan. In September 2009, we extended the maturity date of this loan to June 13, 2010.

Plaza Las Fuentes Mortgage—

On August 4, 2009, we entered into a loan modification to amend the financial covenants of our Plaza Las Fuentes mortgage loan. As a result of the modification, effective as of June 30, 2009, the minimum tangible net worth (as defined in the loan agreement) that we must maintain during the life of this loan is reduced to $200.0 million (previously $500.0 million) and the minimum amount of liquidity (as defined in the loan agreement) that we must maintain during the life of this loan is reduced to $20.0 million (previously $50.0 million). Additionally, the leverage ratio covenant was eliminated.

As part of the conditions of this loan modification, we made a principal paydown totaling $4.0 million and will allow the lender to apply excess receipts at the property level until the loan balance has been reduced by an additional $3.0 million. At that point, the amount of principal payments will be increased to $200.0 thousand per month (previously $100.0 thousand per month).

Debt Covenants

The terms of our Lantana Media Campus construction loan and Plaza Las Fuentes mortgage require our Operating Partnership to comply with financial ratios relating to minimum amounts of tangible net worth, interest coverage, fixed charge coverage and liquidity. Certain of our other construction loans require our Operating Partnership to comply with minimum amounts of tangible net worth and liquidity. We were in compliance with such covenants as of September 30, 2009.

Note 9—Noncontrolling Interests

Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the provisions of the Noncontrolling Interests Subsections of FASB Codification Subtopic 810-10 which require that amounts previously reported as minority interests in our consolidated financial statements be reported as noncontrolling interests and included in equity/(deficit). As a result, upon the adoption of the Noncontrolling Interests Subsections of FASB Codification Subtopic 810-10 and the related provisions of the Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity Subsections of FASB Codification Subtopic 480-10, our common units are presented in the equity section of our consolidated balance sheets. This balance sheet presentation is a change to our previous presentation for our common units since under previous accounting guidance we had reported these units in the minority interests section, after total liabilities but before equity/(deficit). The measurement of our common units as of December 31, 2008 is consistent with previously reported amounts.

If the provisions of the Noncontrolling Interests Subsections of FASB Codification Subtopic 810-10 had not been adopted effective January 1, 2009, we would not have allocated $6.5 million and $66.9 million of net losses to the common units of our Operating Partnership for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. On a pro forma basis, our net loss attributable to Maguire Properties, Inc. would have been $48.6 million and $533.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.

The adoption of the provisions of the Noncontrolling Interests Subsections of FASB Codification Subtopic 810-10 resulted in a change in the presentation of our consolidated statements of operations but had no impact on our previously reported net loss or cash flows. As a result of adopting the provisions of the Noncontrolling Interests Subsections of FASB Codification Subtopic 810-10, we are able to allocate losses to our noncontrolling interests effective January 1, 2009 even though their basis had been reduced to zero as of June 30, 2008.

Common Units of our Operating Partnership

Common units of our Operating Partnership relate to the interest in our Operating Partnership that is not owned by Maguire Properties, Inc. Noncontrolling common units of our Operating Partnership have essentially the same economic characteristics as shares of our common stock as they share equally in the net income or loss and distributions of our Operating Partnership. Our limited partners have the right to redeem all or part of their noncontrolling common units of our Operating Partnership at any time. At the time of redemption, we have the right to determine whether to redeem the noncontrolling common units of our Operating Partnership for cash, based upon the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of our common stock at the time of redemption, or exchange them for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of stock rights, specified extraordinary distribution and similar events. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, 6,674,573 noncontrolling common units in our Operating Partnership were outstanding. These common units are presented as noncontrolling interests in the deficit section of our consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the aggregate redemption value of outstanding noncontrolling common units in our Operating Partnership was

Table of Contents

MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

$14.0 million and $9.7 million, respectively. This redemption value does not necessarily represent the amount that would be distributed with respect to each common unit in the event of a termination or liquidation of the Company and our Operating Partnership. In the event of a termination or liquidation of the Company and our Operating Partnership, it is expected that in most cases each common unit would be entitled to a liquidating distribution equal to the amount payable with respect to each share of the Company’s common stock.

Our limited partners’ ownership interest in Maguire Properties, L.P. was 12.2% as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, our limited partners’ weighted average share of our net loss was 12.2%. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, our limited partners’ weighted average share of our net loss was 12.2% and 12.6%, respectively.

As of September 30, 2009, unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based payments totaled $12.6 million and is expected to be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations over a weighted average period of approximately three years.

Note 12—Loss per Share

Basic net loss available to common stockholders is computed by dividing reported net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.

For the three months ended September 30, 2009, approximately 1,410,000 restricted stock units, 114,000 shares of nonvested restricted stock and 65,000 nonqualified stock options were excluded from the calculation of net loss available to common stockholders per share because they were anti-dilutive due to our net loss position. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, approximately 3,000 shares of nonvested restricted stock were excluded from the calculation of net loss available to common stockholders per share because they were anti-dilutive due to our net loss position. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, approximately 1,410,000 restricted stock units, 114,000 shares of nonvested restricted stock and 50,000 nonqualified stock options were excluded from the calculation of net loss available to common stockholders per share because they were anti-dilutive due to our net loss position. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, approximately 461,000 restricted stock units, 95,000 shares of nonvested restricted stock and 38,000 nonqualified stock options were excluded from the calculation of net loss available to common stockholders per share because they were anti-dilutive due to our net loss position.

Note 13—Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 30, 2009, we assess whether there has been impairment in the value of our investments in real estate whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Our portfolio is evaluated for impairment on a property-by-property basis. Indicators of potential impairment include the following:

Change in strategy resulting in an increased or decreased holding period;

Low occupancy levels;

Table of Contents

MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

Deterioration of the rental market as evidenced by rent decreases over numerous quarters;

Properties adjacent to or located in the same submarket as those with recent impairment issues;

Significant decrease in market price;

Tenant financial problems; and/or

Experience of our competitors in the same submarket.

During the three months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded impairment charges totaling $10.1 million, of which $5.9 million has been recorded in continuing operations and $4.2 million in discontinued operations. The impairment charge has been recorded pursuant to the provisions of the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of FASB Codification Subtopic 360-10.

The $5.9 million impairment charge recorded in continuing operations represents the writedown to estimated fair value of 130 State College, less estimated costs to sell, as of September 30, 2009. Our investment in 130 State College was impaired as a result of a decrease in the expected holding period due to its pending disposition. Fair value was calculated based on the sales price negotiated with the buyer.

The $4.2 million impairment charge recorded in discontinued operations was in connection with the disposition of Park Place I pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with the lender. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the total impairment charge recorded related to Park Place I was $112.2 million. We recorded no gain on extinguishment of debt in connection with the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure because the fair value of the assets transferred to the lender approximated the value of the debt that was satisfied in the transaction.

As of September 30, 2009, we also performed an impairment analysis on our properties that showed indications of potential impairment based on the indicators described above. No other real estate assets in our portfolio were determined to be impaired as of September 30, 2009 as a result of this analysis.

As discussed in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies,” the assessment as to whether our investments in real estate are impaired is highly subjective. The calculations involve management’s best estimate of the holding period, future occupancy levels, rental rates, capitalization rates, lease-up periods and capital requirements for each property. A change in any one or more of these factors could materially impact whether a property is impaired as of any given valuation date.

One of the more significant assumptions is probability weighting whereby management may contemplate more than one holding period in its test for impairment. These scenarios can include long-, intermediate- and short-term holding periods which are probability weighted based on management’s best estimate of the likelihood of such a holding period as of the valuation date. A shift in the probability weighting towards a shorter hold scenario can significantly increase the likelihood of impairment. For example, management may weight the holding period for a specific asset based on a 3, 5 and 10 year hold with probability weighting of 50%, 20% and 30%, respectively. A change in those holding periods, and/or a change in the probability weighting for the specific assets could result in a future impairment. As an example of the sensitivity of these estimates, we hold certain assets that if the holding periods were changed by as little as a few years, those assets would have been impaired at September 30, 2009. Many factors may influence management’s estimate of holding periods, including market conditions, accessibility of capital and credit markets and recent sales activity of properties in the same submarket,

our liquidity and net proceeds generated or expected to be generated by asset dispositions or lack thereof, among others. These conditions may change in a relatively short period of time, especially in light of our limited liquidity and the current economic environment.

Based on continuing input from our board of directors and as our business continues to evolve and we work through various alternatives with respect to certain assets, holding periods may be modified and result in additional impairment charges. Continued declines in the market value of commercial real estate, especially in the Orange County market, also increase the risk of future impairment. As a result, key assumptions used in testing the recoverability of our investments in real estate, particularly with respect to holding periods, can change period-over-period.

Note 14—Discontinued Operations

A summary of our property dispositions for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 is as follows (amounts in millions, except square footage amounts):

Property Disposed of:	Location	Net Rentable Square Feet		Debt Satisfied			Gain/ (Impairment) Recorded			Loss from Early Extinguishment
18581 Teller	Irvine, CA		86,087	$	(20.0	)	$	2.2		$	(0.2	)

Park Place I (including certain parking areas and related development rights)	Irvine, CA		1,637,035		(170.0	)		(112.2	)		(0.3	)

In March 2009, we completed the disposition of 18581 Teller to Allergan Sales, LLC. The transaction was valued at approximately $22 million, which included the buyer’s assumption of the $20.0 million mortgage loan on the property. We received net proceeds of $1.8 million from this transaction, which we intend to use for general corporate purposes.

In June 2009, we completed the sale of City Parkway to The Abbey Company. The buyer assumed the $99.6 million mortgage loan on the property. We received no net proceeds from this transaction.

In June 2009, we completed the disposition of 3161 Michelson to the Emmes Group of Cos. The transaction was valued at $160.0 million, prior to $6.6 million in credits provided to the buyer. We received proceeds from this transaction of approximately $152 million, net of transaction costs. The net proceeds from this transaction, combined with $6.5 million of unrestricted cash and $5.0 million of restricted cash for leasing and debt service released to us by the lender, were used to repay the $163.5 million outstanding balance under the construction loan on the property.

On August 11, 2009, we completed a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with the lender to dispose of Park Place I. As a result of the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, we were relieved of the obligation to pay the $170.0 million mortgage loan on the property as well as $0.8 million of unpaid interest related to the mortgage. Additionally, we closed the sale of certain parking areas together with related development rights associated with the Park Place campus for $17.0 million. We received net proceeds of $16.5 million, which we intend to use for general corporate purposes.

Note 15—Income Taxes

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2003. We believe that we have always operated so as to continue to qualify as a REIT. Accordingly, we will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that we continue to qualify as a REIT and our distributions to our stockholders equal or exceed our taxable income.

Table of Contents

MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

However, qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code related to annual operating results, asset diversification, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we will be organized or be able to operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal and state income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates, and we may be ineligible to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years. We may also be subject to certain state or local income taxes, or franchise taxes on our REIT activities.

We have elected to treat certain of our subsidiaries as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). Certain activities that we undertake must be conducted by a TRS, such as non-customary services for our tenants, and holding assets that we cannot hold directly. A TRS is subject to both federal and state income taxes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, we recorded tax provisions of $0.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively, which are included in other expense in our consolidated statements of operations.

Note 16—Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents information regarding our assets and liabilities measured and reported in our consolidated financial statements at fair value as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques used to determine such fair value. The three levels of fair value defined in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Subsections of FASB Codification Subtopic 820-10 are as follows:

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access.

Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, which are typically based on the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, our assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall, are as follows (in thousands):

			Fair Value Measurements Using
Assets:	Total Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Note 17—Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest rate fluctuations may impact our results of operations and cash flows. Our construction loans as well as some of our mortgage loans bear interest at a variable rate. We seek to minimize the volatility that changes in interest rates have on our variable-rate debt by entering into interest rate swap and cap agreements. We do not trade in financial instruments for speculative purposes. Our derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets and is recognized as part of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations when the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Under our interest rate swap agreement, we are required to post collateral with our counterparty, primarily in the form of cash, to the extent that the termination value of the swap exceeds a $5.0 million obligation (“Swap Liability”). As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had transferred $42.7 million and $54.2 million in cash, respectively, to our counterparty to satisfy our collateral posting requirement under the swap, which is included in restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets. This collateral will be returned to us during the remaining term of the swap as we settle our monthly obligations. The amount we would need to pay our counterparty as of September 30, 2009 to terminate our swap totals $48.1 million.

Excluding the impact of movements in future LIBOR rates, our Swap Liability will decrease each month as we settle our monthly obligations, and accordingly we will receive a return of previously-posted cash collateral. During the remainder of 2009, we expect to receive a return of approximately $4 million to $6 million of previously-posted cash collateral from our counterparty, which is comprised of a combination of return of collateral as a result of the satisfaction of our monthly obligations under the swap agreement, as well as a return of cash collateral due to anticipated increases in future LIBOR rates.

We held a forward-starting interest rate swap with a notional amount of $88.0 million that was purchased to hedge the interest rate on permanent financing for our Lantana construction loan. During the first quarter of 2009, we began the process of marketing our Lantana property for sale. Since it is unlikely that we will require permanent project financing, we no longer qualify for hedge accounting treatment with respect to this contract. In June 2009, we reached an agreement with our counterparty to terminate the swap for $11.3 million, one-half of which was paid during June. The remaining $5.7 million was paid in July 2009.

Other Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and other receivables, amounts due from affiliates, accounts payable, dividends and distributions payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying amount of these instruments approximates fair value because of their short-term nature.

The estimated fair value of our mortgage and other secured loans (excluding Properties in Default) is $2,974.2 million (compared to a carrying amount of $3,543.4 million) as of September 30, 2009. We calculated the fair value of these mortgage and other secured loans based on currently available market rates assuming the loans are outstanding through maturity and considering the collateral. In determining the current market rate for fixed-rate debt, a market spread is added to the quoted yields on federal government treasury securities with similar maturity dates to our debt.

As of September 30, 2009 and through the date of this report, the mortgage loans encumbering Stadium Towers Plaza, Park Place II, 2600 Michelson, Pacific Arts Plaza and 550 South Hope are in default, and the 500 Orange Tower mortgage will be in default in January 2010. The carrying amount of these loans totals $888.5 million as of September 30, 2009, and they bear interest at rates ranging from 5.88% to 10.78%. We are in discussions with the special servicers regarding a cooperative resolution on each of these assets. As of September 30, 2009, we did not calculate the fair value of these loans as it was not practicable to do so as there is substantial uncertainty as to their market value and when and how they will be settled.

Note 18—Related Party Transactions

Robert F. Maguire III

Pursuant to a separation agreement effective May 17, 2008, Mr. Maguire resigned as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Company. Prior to Mr. Maguire’s termination of employment, we leased office space located at 1733 Ocean in Santa Monica, California, a property beneficially owned by Mr. Maguire. In June 2008, we relocated our corporate offices to downtown Los Angeles, California and vacated the space at 1733 Ocean. Pursuant to his separation agreement, Mr. Maguire agreed to use his best efforts for a period of 180 days to obtain the necessary consents to terminate the direct lease and, if such consents were not obtained, to take certain actions to facilitate our Operating Partnership’s efforts to sublet those premises. Mr. Maguire did not obtain the necessary consents within the 180-day period. As of September 30, 2009, $1.5 million is accrued as part of accounts payable and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet to pay for leasing commissions, tenant improvements and rent related to this space.

At the time of our initial public offering, we entered into a tax indemnification agreement with Mr. Maguire and related entities. Under this agreement, we agreed to indemnify Mr. Maguire and related entities from all direct and indirect tax consequences if we disposed of US Bank Tower, Wells Fargo Tower, KPMG Tower, Gas Company Tower and Plaza Las Fuentes (excluding the hotel) during lock-out periods of up to 12 years from the date these properties were contributed to our Operating Partnership at the time of our initial public offering in June 2003, as long as certain conditions under Mr. Maguire’s contribution agreement were met. The indemnification does not apply if a property is disposed of in a non-taxable transaction (i.e., Section 1031 exchange). Mr. Maguire’s separation agreement modified his tax indemnification agreement. As modified, for purposes of determining whether Mr. Maguire and related entities maintain ownership of common units of our Operating Partnership equal to 50% of the units received by them in the formation transactions (which is a condition to the continuation of the lock-out period to its maximum length), shares of our common stock received by Mr. Maguire and related entities in exchange for common units of our Operating Partnership in accordance with Section 8.6B of the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Maguire Properties, L.P., as amended, shall be treated as common units of our Operating Partnership received in the formation transactions. As of September 30, 2009, Mr. Maguire meets the 50% ownership requirement.

In connection with the tax indemnification agreement, Mr. Maguire and certain entities owned or controlled by Mr. Maguire, and entities controlled by certain former senior executives of the

Nelson C. Rising

At the time of our initial public offering, we entered into a tax indemnification agreement with Maguire Partners—Master Investments, LLC (“Master Investments”), an entity in which our President and Chief Executive Officer, Nelson C. Rising, then had and continues to have a minority interest as a result of his prior position as a Senior Partner with Maguire Thomas Partners from 1984 to 1994. Mr. Rising had no involvement with our approval of the tax indemnification agreement with Master Investments or our initial public offering. Under this agreement, we agreed to indemnify Master Investments and its members from all direct and indirect tax consequences if we disposed of US Bank Tower, Wells Fargo Tower, KPMG Tower, Gas Company Tower and Plaza Las Fuentes (excluding the hotel) during lock-out periods of up to 12 years from the date these properties were contributed to our Operating Partnership at the time of our initial public offering in June 2003. The indemnification does not apply if a property is disposed of in a non-taxable transaction (i.e., Section 1031 exchange). In connection with the tax indemnification agreement, Master Investments has also guaranteed a portion of our mortgage loans. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $65.0 million of our debt is subject to such guarantees by Master Investments.

Item 2.	Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto that appear in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview and Background

We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, and we operate as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We are the largest owner and operator of Class A office properties in the LACBD and are primarily focused on owning and operating high-quality office properties in the high-barrier-to-entry Southern California market.

As of September 30, 2009, our Operating Partnership indirectly owns whole or partial interests in 33 office and retail properties, a 350-room hotel and off-site parking garages and on-site structured and surface parking (our “Total Portfolio”). We hold an approximate 87.8% interest in our Operating Partnership, and therefore do not completely own the Total Portfolio. Excluding the 80% interest that our Operating Partnership does not own in Maguire Macquarie Office, LLC, an unconsolidated joint venture formed in conjunction with Macquarie Office Trust, our Operating Partnership’s share of the Total Portfolio is 14.7 million square feet and is referred to as our “Effective Portfolio.” Our Effective Portfolio represents our Operating Partnership’s economic interest in the office, hotel and retail properties from which we derive our net income or loss, which we recognize in accordance with GAAP. The aggregate square footage of our Effective Portfolio has not been reduced to reflect our minority interest partners’ share of our Operating Partnership.

Our property statistics as of September 30, 2009 are as follows:

	Number of				Total Portfolio							Effective Portfolio
	Properties		Buildings		Square Feet			Parking Square Footage		Parking Spaces		Square Feet			Parking Square Footage		Parking Spaces
Wholly owned properties		21		35		11,361,619			7,139,188		22,814		11,361,619			7,139,188		22,814
Properties in Default		6		23		2,527,906			2,322,080		8,185		2,527,906			2,322,080		8,185
Unconsolidated joint venture		6		20		3,876,270			2,271,248		7,349		775,254			454,250		1,470
		33		78		17,765,795			11,732,516		38,348		14,664,779			9,915,518		32,469

Percentage leased						82.3	%						82.1	%

As of September 30, 2009, the majority of our Total Portfolio is located in ten submarkets in Southern California: the LACBD; the Tri-Cities area of Pasadena, Glendale and Burbank; the Cerritos submarket; the Santa Monica Professional and Entertainment submarket; the John Wayne Airport, Costa Mesa, Central Orange County and Brea submarkets of Orange County; and the Sorrento Mesa and Mission Valley submarkets of San Diego County. We also have an interest in one property in Denver, Colorado (a joint venture property). We directly manage the properties in our Total Portfolio through our Operating Partnership and/or our Services Companies, except for Cerritos Corporate Center and the WestinÒ Pasadena Hotel.

We receive income primarily from rental revenue (including tenant reimbursements) from our office properties, and to a lesser extent, from our hotel property and on- and off-site parking garages. We also receive income from providing management, leasing and real estate development services to our joint venture with Macquarie Office Trust.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Sources and Uses of Liquidity

Our expected actual and potential liquidity sources and uses are, among others, as follows:

	Sources		Uses
	· Unrestricted and restricted cash; · Cash generated from operations; · Asset dispositions; · Contribution of existing assets to joint ventures; · Proceeds from additional secured or unsecured debt financings; and/or · Proceeds from public or private issuance of debt or equity securities.		· Property operations and corporate expenses; · Capital expenditures (including commissions and tenant improvements); · Development and redevelopment costs; · Payments in connection with loans (including debt service, principal payment obligations and payments to extend, refinance, modify or exit loans); · Swap obligations; and/or · Distributions to common and preferred stockholders and unit holders.

Actual and Potential Sources of Liquidity—

Described below are our actual and potential near-term sources of liquidity, which we currently believe will be sufficient to fund our near-term liquidity needs. These sources are essential to our liquidity and financial position, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully access them (particularly in the current economic environment). If we are unable to generate adequate cash from these sources, we will have liquidity-related problems and will be exposed to significant risks. While we believe that we will have adequate cash for our near-term uses, significant issues with access to the liquidity sources identified below could lead to our insolvency. For a further discussion of risks associated with (among other matters) recent and potential future loan defaults, current economic conditions, our liquidity position and our substantial indebtedness, see Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 30, 2009.

Unrestricted and Restricted Cash—

A summary of our cash position as of September 30, 2009 is as follows (in millions):

Restricted cash:
Leasing and capital expenditure reserves	$	33.9
Tax, insurance and other working capital reserves		32.0
Prepaid rent		18.5
Debt service reserves		3.6
Collateral accounts		48.9
Total restricted cash, excluding Properties in Default		136.9
Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents		61.7
Total restricted cash and unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, excluding Properties in Default		198.6
Restricted cash of Properties in Default		23.5
	$	222.1

The leasing and capital expenditure, tax, insurance and other working capital, prepaid rent and debt service reserves are held in restricted accounts by our lenders in accordance with the terms of our

Table of Contents

MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

mortgage loans. The collateral accounts are held by our counterparties or lenders under our interest rate swap agreement and other obligations. Of the $48.9 million held in cash collateral accounts by our counterparties as of September 30, 2009, we expect to receive a return of swap collateral ranging between approximately $4 million to $6 million during the remainder of 2009, as well as an additional $5 million in cash collateral securing contingent obligations that will expire during the remainder of 2009.

In connection with property acquisitions and the refinancing of existing loans, we typically reserve a portion of the loan proceeds at closing in restricted cash accounts to fund: (1) anticipated leasing expenditures (primarily commissions and tenant improvement costs) for both existing and prospective tenants; (2) non-recurring discretionary capital expenditures, such as major lobby renovations; and (3) future payments of interest (debt service). As of September 30, 2009, we had a total of $32.3 million of leasing reserves, $1.6 million of capital expenditure reserves and $3.6 million of debt service reserves. For a number of the properties with such reserves, particularly in Orange County, the monthly debt service requirements exceed the monthly cash generated from operations. For assets we do not dispose of, we expect this cash flow deficit to continue unless we are able to stabilize those properties through lease up. Stabilization is challenging in the current market, and lease-up may be costly and take a significant period of time.

The following is a summary of our available leasing reserves (excluding Properties in Default) as of September 30, 2009 (in millions):

	Restricted Cash Accounts		Undrawn Debt Proceeds		Total Leasing Reserves
LACBD	$	12.2	$	—	$	12.2
Orange County		18.0		—		18.0
Tri-Cities		2.1		—		2.1
Completed developments		—		32.0		32.0
	$	32.3	$	32.0	$	64.3

Cash Generated from Operations—

Our cash generated from operations is primarily dependent upon: (1) the occupancy level of our portfolio; (2) the rental rates achieved on our leases; and (3) the collectability of rent from our tenants. Net cash generated from operations is tied to our level of operating expenses and other general and administrative costs, described below under “Actual and Potential Uses of Liquidity.”

Occupancy levels. There was negative absorption in both 2008 and during 2009 year-to-date in most of our submarkets, and our overall occupancy levels declined in both 2008 and during 2009 year-to-date. We expect our occupancy levels in 2010 to be flat or lower than 2009 levels for the following reasons (among others):

Leasing activity in general continues to be soft in all of our submarkets.

Many of our current and potential tenants rely heavily on the availability of financing to support operating costs (including rent), and there is currently limited availability of credit.

The financial crisis has resulted in many companies shifting to a more cautionary mode with respect to leasing. Rather than expanding, many current and potential tenants are looking to consolidate, cut overhead and preserve operating capital. Many existing and potential tenants are also deferring strategic decisions, including entering into new, long-term leases.

We are facing increased competition from high-quality, recently-completed sublease space that is currently available, particularly in the LACBD.

Table of Contents

MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Increased firm failures and rising unemployment have limited the tenant base.

Our liquidity challenges and recent and potential future asset dispositions and loan defaults may impact potential tenants’ willingness to enter into leases with us.

For a discussion of other factors that may affect our ability to sustain or improve our occupancy levels, see Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 30, 2009.

Rental rates. In the last several quarters, as a result of the economic crisis, average asking rental rates dropped in all of our submarkets (particularly in Orange County). In 2008 and during 2009 year-to-date, many landlords prioritized tenant retention by reducing rental rates and focusing on short-term lease extensions. For the remainder of 2009 and during 2010, management does not expect significant rental rate increases or decreases from current levels in our submarkets. However, because of economic volatility and uncertainty, there can be no assurance that rental rates will not decline.

Collectability of rent from our tenants. Our rental revenue depends on collecting rent from tenants, and in particular, from our major tenants. As of September 30, 2009, our 20 largest tenants represented 44.9% of our Effective Portfolio’s total annualized rental revenue (excluding Properties in Default). Some of our tenants are in the mortgage, financial, insurance and professional services industries, and these industries have been severely impacted by the current economic climate. Many of our major tenants have experienced or may experience a notable business downturn, weakening their financial condition. This resulted in increased lease defaults and decreased rent collectability in 2008 and 2009 to date. This trend may continue or worsen through year-end 2009 and beyond. In many cases, we made substantial up-front investments in the applicable leases, through tenant improvement allowances and other concessions, as well as incurred typical transaction costs (including professional fees and commissions). In the event of tenant defaults, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment. This is particularly true in the case of the bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant or where the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) is acting as receiver.

Asset Dispositions—

In March 2009, we completed the disposition of 18581 Teller located in Irvine, California. This transaction was valued at approximately $22 million, which included the buyer’s assumption of the $20.0 million mortgage loan on the property. We received net proceeds of $1.8 million from this transaction.

In June 2009, we completed the disposition of City Parkway located in Orange, California, which included the buyer’s assumption of the $99.6 million mortgage loan on the property. We received no net proceeds in connection with this transaction. We have no further obligations with respect to the property-level debt and eliminated a master lease obligation on the property.

Table of Contents

MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

In June 2009, we completed the disposition of 3161 Michelson located at the Park Place campus in Irvine, California. The transaction was valued at $160.0 million, prior to $6.6 million in credits provided to the buyer. We received proceeds from the transaction of approximately $152 million, net of transaction costs. The net proceeds from this transaction, combined with approximately $6.5 million of unrestricted cash and approximately $5.0 million of restricted cash for leasing and debt service released to us by the lender, were used to repay the $163.5 million outstanding balance under the construction loan on the property. We have no further obligations with respect to the construction loan as well as the New Century master lease and parking master lease. Additionally, our Operating Partnership has no further obligation to guarantee the repayment of the construction loan.

In August 2009, we closed the sale of certain parking areas together with related development rights associated with the Park Place campus for $17.0 million. We received net proceeds of $16.5 million, which we intend to use for general corporate purposes.

In October 2009, we completed the disposition of 130 State College located in Orange County. See “Subsequent Events.”

With respect to the remainder of 2009 and the first part of 2010, we are actively marketing several non-core assets that could potentially generate net proceeds, including the Lantana Media Campus located in Santa Monica, California. Our ability to dispose of these assets is impacted by a number of factors. Many of these factors are beyond our control, including general economic conditions, availability of financing and interest rates. In light of the current economic conditions and the limited number of recently completed dispositions in our submarkets, we cannot predict:

Whether we will be able to find buyers for identified assets at prices and/or other terms acceptable to us;

Whether potential buyers will be able to secure financing; and

The length of time needed to find a buyer and to close the sale of a property.

The marketing process has been lengthier than anticipated for these properties and expected pricing has declined (in some cases materially). This trend may continue or worsen. The foregoing means that the number of assets we could potentially sell to generate net proceeds has decreased, and the amount of expected net proceeds in the event of any asset sale has also decreased. We may be unable to complete the disposition of identified properties in the near term or at all, which would significantly impact our liquidity situation.

In addition, certain of our material debt obligations require us to comply with financial and other covenants, including, but not limited to, net worth and liquidity covenants, due on sale clauses, change in control restrictions, listing requirements and other financial requirements. Some or all of these covenants could prevent or delay our ability to dispose of identified properties. For a discussion of other factors that may affect our ability to dispose of certain assets, see Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 30, 2009.

Furthermore, we agreed to indemnify Master Investments and Mr. Maguire and related entities against adverse tax consequences to them in the event that our Operating Partnership directly or indirectly sells, exchanges or otherwise disposes (including by way of merger, sale of assets or otherwise) of any portion of its interests, in a taxable transaction. These tax indemnification obligations cover five of the office properties in our portfolio, which represented 49.58% of our Effective Portfolio’s aggregate annualized rent as of September 30, 2009 (excluding Properties in Default). These obligations apply for periods of up to 12 years from the date that these properties were contributed to our Operating Partnership

at the time of our initial public offering in June 2003. The tax indemnification obligations may serve to prevent the disposition of the following assets that might otherwise provide important liquidity alternatives to us:

Gas Company Tower;

US Bank Tower;

KPMG Tower;

Wells Fargo Tower; and

Plaza Las Fuentes (excluding the Westin® Pasadena Hotel).

As described in “Overview and Background–Asset Disposition Program,” we ceased funding cash shortfalls at, and our special purpose property-owning subsidiaries did not make the required debt service payments on, our mortgage loans at Park Place I (which was disposed of on August 11, 2009 pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure), Stadium Towers Plaza, Park Place II, 2600 Michelson, Pacific Arts Plaza and 550 South Hope, thereby constituting a default under each such loan. As a result of the defaults under these mortgage loans, the lenders or special servicers have required that the rental payments made by tenants of the Properties in Default be deposited in restricted lockbox accounts. As such, we do not have direct access to these rental payments, and the disbursement of cash from these restricted lockbox accounts to us is at the discretion of the lender or special servicers. We continue to manage the day-to-day activities of the Properties in Default and are working with the lenders or special servicers to receive disbursements from the restricted lockbox accounts to fund property operating expenses and leasing costs during the default period. Currently, we are not utilizing our unrestricted cash to pay for operating expenses of the Properties in Default.

Other special purpose property-owning subsidiaries may default under additional loans in the future, including non-recourse loans where the relevant project is suffering from cash shortfalls on operating expenses and debt service obligations. The continuing default by our subsidiaries will give the lenders the right to accelerate payment on the loans and the right to foreclose on the property underlying such loan. Our subsidiaries’ continuing failure to make debt service payments under these loans will likely result in pursuit of these remedies. We are in discussions with the special servicers regarding a cooperative resolution on each of these assets. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to resolve these matters on acceptable terms, which will likely result in foreclosure.

Contribution of Existing Assets to Joint Ventures—

We are currently partners with Macquarie Office Trust in a joint venture. In the near term or longer term, we may seek to raise capital by contributing one or more of our existing assets to a joint venture with a third party. Investments in joint ventures may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present were a third party not involved. Our ability to successfully identify, negotiate and close joint venture transactions on acceptable terms or at all is highly uncertain in the current economic environment.

Proceeds from Additional Secured or Unsecured Debt Financings—

We have historically financed our asset acquisitions and operations largely from secured debt financings. We currently do not have any arrangements for future financings. Substantially all of our assets are currently encumbered, and most of our existing debt arrangements contain rates and other terms that are unlikely to be obtained in the market at this time or in the near term. Given the current severely limited access to credit and our financial condition, it will also be challenging to obtain any significant unsecured financings in the near term.

Proceeds from Public or Private Issuance of Debt or Equity Securities—

While we currently have no plans for the public or private issuance of debt or equity securities, we may explore this liquidity source in the future. Due to market conditions, our high leverage level and our liquidity position, it may be extremely difficult to raise cash through the issuance of securities on favorable terms or at all.

Actual and Potential Uses of Liquidity—

The following are the projected uses, and some of the potential uses, of our cash in the near term. Because of the current uncertainty in the real estate market and the economy as a whole, there may be other uses of our cash that are unexpected (and that are not identified below).

Property Operations and Corporate Expenses—

Management is focused on a careful and efficient use of cash to fund property operating and corporate expenses. All of our business units underwent a thorough budgeting process in the fourth quarter of 2008 to allow for support of the Company’s 2009 business plan, while preserving capital. In particular, management has taken steps to reduce general and administrative expenses and to reduce discretionary property operating expenses during 2009. Our completed and any future property dispositions will further reduce these expenses. Regardless of these efforts, operating our properties and our business requires a significant amount of capital.

Capital Expenditures (Including Commissions and Tenant Improvements)—

Capital expenditures fluctuate in any given period, subject to the nature, extent and timing of improvements required to maintain our properties. Leasing costs also fluctuate in any given period, depending upon such factors as the type of property, the term of the lease, the type of lease, the involvement of external leasing agents and overall market conditions. Our costs for capital expenditures and leasing fall into two categories: (1) amounts that we are contractually obligated to spend and (2) discretionary amounts.

As of September 30, 2009, we have executed leases (excluding those related to Properties in Default) that contractually commit us to pay $28.8 million in unpaid leasing costs, of which $6.2 million is contractually due in 2010, $3.2 million in 2011, $1.8 million in 2012 and $3.9 million in 2013 and beyond. The remaining $13.7 million is contractually available for payment to tenants upon request during 2009, but actual payment is largely determined by the timing of requests from those tenants.

As part of our effort to preserve cash, we intend to limit the amount of discretionary funds allocated to capital expenditures and leasing costs in the near term. Given the current economic environment, this is likely to result in a decrease in the number of leases we execute and average rental rates. In addition, for leases that we do execute we expect that typical tenant concessions will increase.

As included in the summary table of available leasing reserves shown above, we have $64.3 million in available leasing reserves as of September 30, 2009. We incurred approximately $20 per square foot, $40 per square foot, $24 per square foot and $32 per square foot in leasing costs on new and renewal leases executed during the first nine months of 2009 and the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Actual leasing costs incurred will fluctuate as

described above. Future leasing costs anticipated to be incurred at our recently completed development projects will also be higher than our historical averages on a per square foot basis, as these projects require the build out of raw space. However, we expect to fund the majority of these costs through construction loan proceeds.

Development and Redevelopment Costs—

We continually evaluate the size, timing, costs and scope of our development and redevelopment programs and, as necessary, scale activity to reflect our financial position, overall economic conditions and the real estate fundamentals that exist in our submarkets. We intend to limit the amount of cash allocated to discretionary development and redevelopment projects in 2009. We have $33.8 million available under our 207 Goode, 17885 Von Karman, 2385 Northside Drive and Lantana construction loans, funds that are primarily available for anticipated leasing costs. The timing of our construction expenditures may fluctuate given the actual progress and status of the development properties and leasing activity. We believe that the undrawn construction loans available as of September 30, 2009 will be sufficient to substantially cover remaining tenanting costs.

Payments in Connection with Loans—

Debt Service. As of September 30, 2009, we had $4.4 billion of total consolidated debt, including $0.9 billion of debt associated with Properties in Default. Our substantial indebtedness requires us to use a material portion of our cash flow to service principal and interest on our debt, which limits the cash flow available for other business expenses and opportunities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we made a total of $172.0 million in debt service payments (including payments funded from reserves), of which $38.1 million related to the Properties in Default.

Principal Payment Obligations. As our debt matures, our principal payment obligations also present significant future cash requirements. We may not be able to successfully extend, refinance or repay our debt due to a number of factors, including decreased property valuations, limited availability of credit, tightened lending standards and deteriorating economic conditions. For a further discussion of our debt’s effect on our financial condition and operating flexibility, see Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 30, 2009.

Our Lantana Media Campus mortgage and construction loans are scheduled to mature in January and June 2010 respectively. We are currently marketing this property for sale, and our aim is to dispose of this property prior to the maturity dates of loans. We are in discussions with the Lantana Media Campus mortgage lender to obtain a short-term extension of this loan to enable us to continue marketing the property for sale in the event we cannot close a sale prior to the maturity date. Any proceeds received upon disposition will be used to pay down the loan balances. We will seek to extend the Lantana Media Campus construction loan if the buildings encumbered by the loan are not disposed of or the loan has not been repaid prior to the scheduled maturity date. If we do not receive sufficient proceeds to repay the construction loan or are unable to obtain an extension, our Operating Partnership may be required to fund the guaranteed minimum payment due to the lender of $20.3 million.

Our 17885 Von Karman and 2385 Northside Drive construction loans are scheduled to mature in June and August 2010, respectively. We are currently focused on leasing these assets to stabilization and will seek to obtain extensions on these loans. We are also exploring the sale of these properties if we are unable to obtain extensions on these loans. If we are unable to extend or repay these loans, our Operating Partnership may be required to fund the guaranteed minimum payment due to the lenders of up to $6.7 million and $4.0 million for 17885 Von Karman and 2385 Northside Drive, respectively.

Our 207 Goode construction loan and our Griffin Towers, Brea Corporate Place/Brea Financial Commons and Plaza Las Fuentes mortgage loans are scheduled to mature in 2010. Each of these loans has an extension option available at our option, subject to certain conditions, some of which we may be unable to fulfill. If we are unable to fulfill the extension conditions, we will likely need to make a paydown on these loans in order to obtain the extension.

Payments to Extend, Refinance, Modify or Exit Loans. In the ordinary course of business and as part of our current strategic initiatives, we frequently endeavor to extend, refinance, modify or exit loans. If we are unable to do so on reasonable terms or at all, the resulting costs will deplete our capital resources and we could become insolvent.

Because of our limited unrestricted cash and the reduced market value of our assets when compared with the debt balances on those assets, upcoming debt maturities present cash obligations that the relevant special purpose property-owning subsidiary obligor may not be able to satisfy. For assets that we do not or cannot dispose of and for which the relevant property-owning subsidiary is unable or

unwilling to fund the resulting obligations, we will seek to extend or refinance the applicable loans or may default upon such loans. Historically, extending or refinancing loans has required the payment of certain fees to, and expenses of, the applicable lenders. Any future extensions or refinancings will likely require increased fees due to tightened lending practices. These fees and cash flow restrictions will affect our ability to fund our other liquidity uses. In addition, the terms of the extensions or refinancings may include operational and financial covenants significantly more restrictive than our current debt covenants.

We also have significant covenants in other loan agreements, including: (1) required levels of interest coverage, fixed charge coverage and liquidity; (2) that we will not engage in certain types of transactions without lender consent unless our stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and/or another nationally recognized stock exchange; and (3) receipt of an unqualified audit opinion on our annual financial statements. Although we were in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2009, some of the actions we may take in connection with our liquidity situation or other circumstances outside of our control could result in non-compliance under one or more of these covenants at future measurement dates. We are taking active steps to address any potential non-compliance issues. However, any covenant modifications would likely require a payment by us to secure lender approval. No assurance can be given that we will be able to secure modifications to the covenants on terms acceptable to us or at all. The impact of non-compliance varies based on the terms of the applicable loan, but in some cases could result in the acceleration of a significant financial obligation.

In addition, recourse obligations impact our ability to dispose of certain assets on favorable terms or at all and present significant challenges to our liquidity position. As described elsewhere in this report, we recently disposed of several assets and are working to dispose of several additional assets. For many of these assets (particularly in Orange County), the market value of the asset is insufficient to satisfy the applicable loan balance. Although most of our property-level indebtedness is non-recourse, our Operating Partnership has several potential contingent obligations described in “—Indebtedness—Operating Partnership Contingent Obligations.” If project-level debt is accelerated where a project’s assets are not sufficient to repay such debt in full, any recourse obligation would require a cash payment by our Operating Partnership. The recourse obligations also impact our ability to dispose of the underlying assets on favorable terms or at all. In some cases we may be required to continue to own properties that currently operate at a loss and utilize a significant portion of our unrestricted cash because we do not have the means to fund the recourse obligations in the case of a foreclosure of the property. Even if we are able to dispose of these properties, the

lender(s) will likely require substantial cash payments to release us from the recourse obligations, impacting our liquidity position.

Swap Obligations—

We hold an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $425.0 million for our financing on KPMG Tower, under which we are the fixed-rate payer at a rate of 5.564% per annum and we receive one-month LIBOR from our counterparty, an A+ rated financial institution. The swap requires net settlement on the 9th of each month and expires on August 9, 2012. We are required to post collateral with our counterparty, primarily in the form of cash, to the extent that the termination value of the swap exceeds a $5.0 million obligation (“Swap Liability”). As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Swap Liability was $45.2 million and $55.1 million, respectively, which is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had transferred $42.7 million and $54.2 million in cash, respectively, to our counterparty to satisfy our collateral posting requirement under the swap, which is included in restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets. This collateral will be returned to us during the remaining term of the swap agreement as we settle our monthly obligations.

Table of Contents

MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Future changes in both actual and expected LIBOR rates will continue to have a significant impact on both our Swap Liability and our requirement to either post additional cash collateral or receive a return of previously-posted cash collateral. As of September 30, 2009, one-month LIBOR was 0.25%. As of September 30, 2009, each 0.25% weighted average decrease in future LIBOR rates during the remaining swap term would result in the requirement to post approximately $4 million in additional cash collateral, while each 0.25% weighted average increase in future LIBOR rates during the remaining swap term would result in the return to us of approximately $4 million in cash collateral from our counterparty. Accordingly, movements in future LIBOR rates will require us to either post additional cash collateral or receive a refund of previously-posted cash collateral during 2009.

Excluding the impact of movements in future LIBOR rates, our Swap Liability will also decrease each month as we settle our monthly obligations, and accordingly we will receive a return of previously-posted cash collateral. During the remainder of 2009, we expect to receive a return of approximately $4 million to $6 million of previously-posted cash collateral from our counterparty, which is comprised of a combination of return of collateral as a result of the satisfaction of our monthly obligations under the swap agreement, as well as a return of cash collateral due to anticipated increases in future LIBOR rates.

Distributions to Common and Preferred Stockholders and Unit Holders—

We are required to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding capital gains) on an annual basis in order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We have historically funded a portion of our distributions from borrowings, and have distributed amounts in excess of our REIT taxable income. We may be required to use future borrowings, if necessary, to meet REIT distribution requirements and maintain our REIT status. We consider market factors and our performance in addition to REIT requirements in determining distribution levels. As of December 31, 2008, our parent REIT entity had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $270 million. Unless we generate significant net operating income through asset dispositions, we do not expect the need to pay distributions to our stockholders during 2009 to maintain our REIT status.

From the date of our initial public offering on June 27, 2003 through December 31, 2007, we paid quarterly dividends on our common stock and Operating Partnership units at a rate of $0.40 per common share and unit, equivalent to an annual rate of $1.60 per common share and Operating Partnership unit. The board of directors did not declare a dividend on our common stock during 2008 or the first three quarters of 2009.

From January 23, 2004 until October 31, 2008, we paid quarterly dividends on our 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) at a rate of $0.4766 per share. On December 19, 2008, our board of directors suspended the payment of dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock. Dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock are cumulative, and therefore, will continue to accrue at an annual rate of $1.9064 per share. As of October 31, 2009, we have missed four quarterly dividend payments. If we miss six or more quarterly dividend payments (whether consecutive or non-consecutive), the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to elect two additional members to our board of directors (the “Preferred Directors”). The Preferred Directors will serve on our board until all dividends in arrears and the then current period’s dividend have been fully paid or until such dividends have been declared, and an amount sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside for payment.

All distributions to common stockholders, preferred stockholders and Operating Partnership unit holders are at the discretion of the board of directors, and no assurance can be given as to the amounts or timing of future distributions.

Comparison of Cash Flows for Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 totaled $2.5 million compared to net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 of $15.7 million. A reduction in general and administrative expenses combined with interest accrued related to the Properties in Default ($4.3 million of default interest plus $6.1 million of contractual interest) that was unpaid as of September 30, 2009 were the drivers of the increase in cash provided by operating activities.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $152.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $104.1 million during the same period in 2008, mainly due to proceeds received from the disposition of 3161 Michelson and certain parking areas together with related development rights associated with the Park Place Campus as well as a significant reduction in the amount of discretionary funds spent on tenant improvements and leasing commissions combined with reduced development activity in 2009. Additionally, we received a larger return of collateral from our swap counterparty during 2009 compared to 2008.

Net cash used in financing activities was $174.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $86.0 million during the same period in 2008, primarily due to repayment of the 3161 Michelson construction loan upon disposition and principal payments on our repurchase facility, with minimal borrowing activity during 2009.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 to September 30, 2008

Our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 were affected by dispositions made during 2008 and 2009. Therefore, our results are not comparable from period to period. To eliminate the effect of changes in our Total Portfolio due to dispositions, we have separately presented the results of our “Same Properties Portfolio.”

Properties included in our Same Properties Portfolio are our hotel and the properties in our office portfolio, with the exception of the Properties in Default, our joint venture properties and the Lantana South and East buildings.

Rental Revenue

Total Portfolio rental revenue increased $3.9 million, or 5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to September 30, 2008, mainly due to the Lantana South and East buildings that were placed in service in the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009, respectively.

Hotel Operations Revenue

Hotel operations revenue decreased $1.4 million, or 22%, for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to September 30, 2008, primarily due to a significant decrease in hotel occupancy and food/beverage sales. The average daily rate decreased 15.3% during 2009 as compared to 2008.

Rental Property Operating and Maintenance

Total Portfolio rental property operating and maintenance increased $1.3 million, or 5%, primarily due to increased maintenance expense during the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to September 30, 2008 as a result of timing of payments.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Total Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense decreased $2.8 million, or 7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to September 30, 2008, primarily due to a reduction in the carrying amount of the Properties in Default resulting from the impairment charge taken in the second quarter of 2009.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We recorded an impairment charge of $5.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009 related to the writedown of 130 State College to its estimated fair value, less costs to sell, as of September 30, 2009. There was no comparable activity for either the Same Properties Portfolio or Total Portfolio during the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for our Total Portfolio increased $8.3 million, or 14%, during the three months ended September 2009 as compared to September 2008, primarily due to recognition of default interest for 550 South Hope, Pacific Arts Plaza, Park Place II, 2600 Michelson and Stadium Towers Plaza during August and September 2009 with no comparable activity during 2008.

Discontinued Operations

Our loss from discontinued operations of $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was comprised primarily of an impairment charge of $4.2 million recorded in connection with the disposition of Park Place I during the period. Our loss from discontinued operations of $31.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to $21.8 million of impairment charges and a $1.8 million loss from extinguishment of debt resulting from the disposition of 1920 and 2010 Main Plaza and City Plaza.

Hotel Operations Revenue

Hotel operations revenue decreased $5.1 million, or 25%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to September 30, 2008, primarily due to a significant decrease in hotel occupancy and food/beverage sales.

Interest and Other Revenue

Same Properties Portfolio interest and other revenue decreased $1.3 million, or 43%, while Total Portfolio interest and other revenue decreased $4.5 million, or 58%. Both decreases were primarily due to lower cash balances and lower interest rates earned on those balances during 2009.

Hotel Operating and Maintenance

Hotel operating and maintenance decreased $2.8 million, or 21%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to September 30, 2008, primarily due to lower hotel occupancy and a decrease in management fee expense due to lower revenue.

General and Administrative

Total Portfolio general and administrative expense decreased $28 million, or 53%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to September 30, 2008. This decrease was primarily due to $15.6 million of costs incurred in connection with changes in management, primarily contractual

separation obligation for our former senior executives, and exit costs and tenant improvement writeoffs related to the 1733 Ocean lease combined with $8.3 million of investment banking, legal and other professional fees incurred in connection with the strategic review that was concluded by the Special Committee of our board of directors during 2008.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We recorded an impairment charge totaling $5.9 million in our Same Properties Portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 related to the writedown of 130 State College to its estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell, as of September 30, 2009. In our Total Portfolio, we recorded a $242.5 million impairment charge related to the writedown of Stadium Towers Plaza, Park Place II, 2600 Michelson, Pacific Arts Plaza, 550 South Hope, 500 Orange Tower and any adjacent parking areas and development sites and 130 State College to their estimated fair value. Also in our Total Portfolio, we recorded an $8.1 million impairment charge to write off certain assets related to our investment in DH Von Karman Maguire, LLC. There was no comparable activity for either the Same Properties Portfolio or Total Portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for our Same Properties Portfolio decreased $8.6 million, or 6%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to September 30, 2008, primarily due to lower average LIBOR rates in 2009 compared to 2008.

Total Portfolio interest expense increased $24.9 million, or 14%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to September 30, 2008, primarily due to the accrual of default interest for the Properties in Default during the third quarter of 2009 as well as recognition of a $11.3 million realized loss on a forward-starting interest rate swap during 2009 with no comparable activity in 2008.

Equity in Net Loss of Unconsolidated Joint Venture

Our equity in net loss of unconsolidated joint venture was $10.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 largely as a result of the joint venture’s impairment of the Quintana Campus. There was no comparable activity during the same period in 2008. We did not record losses totaling $2.9 million as part of our equity in net loss of unconsolidated joint venture during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 because our basis in the joint venture has been reduced to zero.

Discontinued Operations

Our loss from discontinued operations of $183.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was comprised primarily of impairment charges totaling $175.8 million recorded in connection with the dispositions of City Parkway, 3161 Michelson and Park Place I. Our loss from discontinued operations of $105.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 reflects the writedown to fair value of 1920 and 2010 Main Plaza and City Plaza in connection with their disposition.

Mortgage Loans

As of September 30, 2009, our consolidated debt was comprised of mortgages secured by 25 properties and four construction loans. A summary of our consolidated debt as of September 30, 2009 is as follows (in millions, except percentage and year amounts):

	Principal Amount		Percent of Total Debt			Effective Interest Rate			Term to Maturity
Fixed-rate	$	2,627.1		59.28	%		5.50	%	6 years
Variable-rate swapped to fixed-rate		425.0		9.59	%		7.18	%	3 years

Properties in Default		888.5		20.04	%		9.60	%
	$	4,431.9		100.00	%		6.33	%

As of September 30, 2009, excluding mortgages encumbering the Properties in Default, approximately 69% of our outstanding debt was fixed (or swapped to a fixed-rate) at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.7% on an interest-only basis with a weighted average remaining term of approximately six years. Our variable-rate debt bears interest at a rate based on one-month LIBOR, which was 0.25% as of September 30, 2009, except for our 17885 Von Karman and 2385 Northside Drive construction loans, which bear interest at prime, which was 3.25% as of September 30, 2009, subject to a floor interest rate of 5.00% per the loan agreements. Our variable-rate debt at September 30, 2009 had a weighted average term to initial maturity of approximately one year (approximately two years assuming exercise of extension options).

As of September 30, 2009, our ratio of total consolidated debt to total consolidated market capitalization was 92.4% of our total market capitalization of $4.8 billion (based on the closing price of our common stock of $2.10 per share on the NYSE on September 30, 2009). Our ratio of total consolidated debt plus liquidation preference of preferred stock to total consolidated market capitalization was 97.6% as of September 30, 2009. Our total consolidated market capitalization includes the book value of our consolidated debt, the $25.00 liquidation preference of 10.0 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the market value of our outstanding common stock and common units of our Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2009.

	$	199,017	$	165,179	$	33,838

Each of our construction loans is subject to a partial or total guarantee by our Operating Partnership. The amounts guaranteed at any point in time are based on the stage of the development cycle that the project is in and are subject to reduction when certain financial ratios have been met. These repayment guarantees expire if and when the underlying loans have been fully repaid.

Operating Partnership Contingent Obligations

In connection with the issuance of otherwise non-recourse loans obtained by certain special purpose property-owning subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership, our Operating Partnership provided various forms of partial guaranties to the lenders originating those loans. These guaranties are contingent obligations that could give rise to defined amounts of recourse against our Operating Partnership, should the special purpose property-owning subsidiaries be unable to satisfy certain obligations under otherwise non-recourse loans. These guaranties are in the form of: (1) master leases whereby our Operating Partnership agreed to guarantee the payment of rents and/or re-tenanting costs for certain tenant leases existing at the time of loan origination should the tenants not satisfy their obligations through their lease term, (2) the guaranty of debt service payments (as defined) for a period of time (but not the guaranty of repayment of principal), (3) master leases of a defined amount of space over a defined period of time, with offsetting credit received for actual rents collected through third-party leases entered into with respect to the master leased space, and (4) customary repayment guaranties under construction loans. These partial guaranties of certain otherwise non-recourse debt of special purpose property-owning subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership, for which the interest expense and debt is included in our consolidated financial statements, are more fully described below.

Master Lease Agreements with Lenders

As a condition to closing the mortgage loans on City Tower and 2600 Michelson in 2007, our Operating Partnership entered into a number of master lease agreements to guarantee rents on space

leased by Ameriquest Corporation (“Ameriquest”). On July 1, 2007, Ameriquest terminated leases at each of these properties, which triggered our master lease obligations at City Tower and 2600 Michelson. We can mitigate future obligations under these master leases by re-leasing the space covered by our various guaranties to new tenants.

City Tower—

In connection with the entry into a $140.0 million mortgage loan on City Tower in 2007 by a special purpose property-owning subsidiary of our Operating Partnership, our Operating Partnership entered into a guaranty with the lender for all rents derived from 71,657 rentable square feet leased to Ameriquest through February 28, 2010 (the “City Tower Master Lease”). The City Tower Master Lease was triggered on July 1, 2007 upon the termination of Ameriquest’s leases at City Tower. As a result, our obligations to fund the remaining $4.3 million in future rent payable by Ameriquest under their City Tower leases from July 1, 2007 to February 28, 2010, as well as to pay for the first $34.00 per square foot, or approximately $2.4 million, in costs associated with re-leasing this space, was triggered under the City Tower Master Lease.

We received a termination fee from Ameriquest in the amount of $2.4 million, which we deposited in lender-controlled debt service reserves as a prepayment of a portion of our City Tower Master Lease obligations. Subsequent to July 1, 2007, we leased 34,353 rentable square feet to new tenants whose leases will generate another $2.0 million in rents through February 28, 2010. A combination of the Ameriquest termination fees deposited in the lender-controlled debt service reserves, as well as future rent payable under the space re-leased to date, satisfies our obligations as it relates to paying rents under our City Tower Master Lease. We are still obligated to fund approximately $1 million of leasing costs related to the City Tower Master Lease space. City Tower is a 412,427 rentable square foot building that is 82.6% leased as of September 30, 2009.

2600 Michelson—

In connection with the entry into a $110.0 million mortgage loan on 2600 Michelson in 2007 by a special purpose property-owning subsidiary of our Operating Partnership, our Operating Partnership entered into a guaranty for all rents derived from 97,798 rentable square feet leased to Ameriquest through January 31, 2011 (the “2600 Michelson Master Lease”). The 2600 Michelson Master Lease would have been triggered upon the July 1, 2007 termination of Ameriquest’s leases at 2600 Michelson; however, we simultaneously entered into direct leases with subtenants of Ameriquest that were in occupancy and paying rent on all 97,798 rentable square feet of space covered by the 2600 Michelson Master Lease. The lender agreed to transfer our 2600 Michelson Master Lease obligations to these new tenants.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, one of these new tenants terminated their lease on 20,025 rentable square feet. As a result, our obligations to fund the remaining $0.9 million in future rent payable under their 20,025 rentable square foot lease from October 1, 2007 to January 31, 2011, as well as our obligation to pay for the first $34.00 per square foot, or approximately $0.7 million, in costs associated with re-leasing this space, were triggered under our 2600 Michelson Master Lease. We received a termination fee from this tenant in the amount of $0.3 million, which we deposited in lender-controlled debt service reserves as a prepayment of a portion of our 2600 Michelson Master Lease obligations. Unless we re-lease this space to a new tenant, we will be required to fund the remaining $0.4 million in rental obligations on a monthly basis and then deposit $0.7 million into a lender-controlled leasing reserve on January 31, 2011.

MAGUIRE PROPERTIES, INC.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

As of September 30, 2009, the tenants occupying the remaining 77,773 rentable square feet covered under the 2600 Michelson Master Lease are current under their lease agreements. Our remaining exposure related to these tenants is approximately $3.0 million as of September 30, 2009. As long as these tenants are not in default under their lease agreements, our contingent obligations under the 2600 Michelson Master Lease will decrease to zero by January 31, 2011, at a rate of approximately $0.5 million per quarter. Should these tenants default under their lease agreements prior to that date, in addition to our responsibility to guarantee their remaining future rental payments, our Operating Partnership will also be liable for the first $34.00 per square foot, or $2.6 million, of leasing costs incurred to re-lease this space. 2600 Michelson is a 308,329 rentable square foot building that is 68.1% leased as of September 30, 2009.

Debt Service Guaranties

As a condition to closing the fixed-rate mortgage loans on 500 Orange Tower, 3800 Chapman and the $109.0 million variable-rate mortgage secured by both Brea Corporate Place and Brea Financial Commons (the “Brea Campus”) in 2007, our Operating Partnership entered into various debt service guaranty agreements. Under each of the debt service guaranties, our Operating Partnership agreed to guarantee the prompt payment of the monthly debt service amount (but not the repayment of any principal amount) and all amounts to be deposited into (i) the tax and insurance reserve, (ii) the capital reserve, (iii) the rollover reserve, and (iv) the ground lease reserve (Brea Corporate Place only). Each guaranty commenced on January 1, 2009. The 500 Orange Tower guaranty expires on December 31, 2009 and the 3800 Chapman guaranty expires on May 6, 2017. For the loan secured by our Brea Campus, our guaranty expires on May 1, 2010, unless we exercise our extension options, through which the guaranty can be extended until May 1, 2012 if all remaining one-year extension options are exercised. Each of the guaranties can expire before its respective term upon determination by the lender that the relevant property has achieved a debt service coverage ratio (as defined in the loan agreements) of at least 1.10 to 1.00 for two consecutive calculation dates.

The following table provides information regarding each debt service guaranty as of September 30, 2009:

Property	Rentable Square Feet		Leased Percentage			Guaranty Commencement Date		Guaranty Expiration Date		Annual Debt Service (1)		In-Place Annual Cash NOI (2)
500 Orange Tower		335,347		69.8	%		1-1-09		12-31-09	$	6.6M	$	3.2M
3800 Chapman		158,767		75.9	%		1-1-09		5-06-17		2.7M		2.7M
Brea Campus		494,565		67.8	%		1-1-09		5-01-10		2.4M		3.8M

_____________

(1)	Annual debt service represents annual interest expense only.
(2)	Tax and insurance reserve payment obligations and ground lease payment obligations (Brea Corporate Place only) are reflected as deductions to derive in-place annual cash NOI. In-place annual cash NOI represents actual third quarter 2009 cash NOI multiplied by four.

During the term of the respective guaranties shown in the table above, we also fund a capital reserve on a monthly basis at an annualized rate of $0.20 per square foot and are obligated to fund a rollover reserve on a monthly basis at an annualized rate of $0.75 per square foot.

Plaza Las Fuentes Mortgage Guarantee Obligations

In connection with our special purpose property-owning subsidiary’s entry into a $100.0 million mortgage loan secured by Plaza Las Fuentes and the Westin® Pasadena Hotel, our Operating Partnership entered into two guarantees on September 29, 2008 related to space leased to East West Bank (90,773 rentable square feet) and Fannie Mae (61,655 rentable square feet). If either tenant defaults on

its lease payments, as defined in the loan agreement, our Operating Partnership is required to either post a standby letter of credit or deposit cash with the lender’s agent equal to: (1) $50.00 per square foot of space leased by the defaulting tenant (“PLF Leasing Reserve”) and (2) one year of rent based on the defaulting tenant’s contractual rate (“PLF Interest Reserve”). The PLF Leasing Reserve would be available to us for reimbursement of leasing expenditures incurred to re-lease the defaulted space, and the PLF Interest Reserve would be available for payment of loan interest. We are required to replenish the PLF Interest Reserve if the remaining balance falls below six months worth of rent, provided that, in no event shall the amount deposited (initial and subsequent deposits) exceed 24 months of rent for the defaulting tenant. As of September 30, 2009, our total contingent obligation related to our guaranty of the PLF Leasing Reserve is approximately $7.6 million, while our total contingent obligation related to our guaranty of the PLF Interest Reserve is approximately $10 million.

Non-Recourse Carve Out Guarantees

Most of our properties are encumbered by non-recourse debt obligations. In connection with most of these loans, however, our Operating Partnership entered into certain “non-recourse carve out” guarantees which provide for the loans to be partially or fully recourse against our Operating Partnership if certain triggering events occur. Although these events are different for each guarantee, some of the common events include:

The property-owning subsidiary’s or Operating Partnership’s filing a voluntary petition for bankruptcy;

The property-owning subsidiary’s failure to maintain its status as a special purpose property-owning entity;

Subject to certain conditions, the property-owning subsidiary’s failure to obtain the lender’s written consent prior to any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the associated property; and

Subject to certain conditions, the property-owning subsidiary’s failure to obtain the lender’s written consent prior to a transfer or conveyance of the associated property.

In the event that any of these triggering events occur and the loans become partially or fully recourse against our Operating Partnership, our business, financial condition, results of operation and common stock price would be materially adversely affected and our insolvency could result.

In addition, other items that are customarily recourse to a non-recourse carve out guarantor include, but are not limited to, the payment of real property taxes, liens which are senior to the mortgage loan and outstanding security deposits.

Development Properties

We have a proactive planning process by which we continually evaluate the size, timing and scope of our development programs and, as necessary, scale activity to reflect the economic conditions and the real estate fundamentals that exist in our strategic submarkets. Based on current conditions, we expect to engage in limited new development activities and otherwise reduce or defer discretionary development costs in the near term. We may be unable to lease committed development projects at expected rentals rates or within projected time frames or complete projects on schedule or within budgeted amounts, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

Robert F. Maguire III

Pursuant to a separation agreement effective May 17, 2008, Mr. Maguire resigned as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Company. Prior to Mr. Maguire’s termination of employment, we leased office space located at 1733 Ocean in Santa Monica, California, a property beneficially owned by Mr. Maguire. In June 2008, we relocated our corporate offices to downtown Los Angeles, California and vacated the space at 1733 Ocean. Pursuant to his separation agreement, Mr. Maguire agreed to use his best efforts for a period of 180 days to obtain the necessary consents to terminate the direct lease and, if such consents were not obtained, to take certain actions to facilitate our Operating Partnership’s efforts to sublet those premises. Mr. Maguire did not obtain the necessary consents within the 180-day period. As of September 30, 2009, $1.5 million is accrued to pay for leasing commissions, tenant improvements and rent related to this space.

In connection with the tax indemnification agreement, Mr. Maguire and certain entities owned or controlled by Mr. Maguire, and entities controlled by certain former senior executives of the Maguire Properties predecessor, have guaranteed a portion of our mortgage loans. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $591.8 million of our debt is subject to such guarantees.

A summary of our transactions with Mr. Maguire related to agreements in place prior to his termination of employment is as follows (in thousands):

result of his prior position as a Senior Partner with Maguire Thomas Partners from 1984 to 1994. Mr. Rising had no involvement with our approval of the tax indemnification agreement with Master Investments or our initial public offering. Under this agreement, we agreed to indemnify Master Investments and its members from all direct and indirect tax consequences if we disposed of US Bank Tower, Wells Fargo Tower, KPMG Tower, Gas Company Tower and Plaza Las Fuentes (excluding the hotel) during lock-out periods of up to 12 years from the date these properties were contributed to our Operating Partnership at the time of our initial public offering in June 2003. The indemnification does not apply if a property is disposed of in a non-taxable transaction (i.e., Section 1031 exchange). In connection with the tax indemnification agreement, Master Investments has also guaranteed a portion of our mortgage loans. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $65.0 million of our debt is subject to such guarantees by Master Investments.

Critical Accounting Policies

Impairment Evaluation

In accordance with the provisions of the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of FASB Codification Subtopic 360-10, we assess whether there has been impairment in the value of our investments in real estate whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Our portfolio is evaluated for impairment on a property-by-property basis. Indicators of potential impairment include the following:

Change in strategy resulting in an increased or decreased holding period;

Low occupancy levels;

Deterioration of the rental market as evidenced by rent decreases over numerous quarters;

Properties adjacent to or located in the same submarket as those with recent impairment issues;

Significant decrease in market price;

Tenant financial problems; and/or

Experience of our competitors in the same submarket.

The assessment as to whether our investments in real estate are impaired is highly subjective. The calculations involve management’s best estimate of the holding period, future occupancy levels, rental rates, capitalization rates, lease-up periods and capital requirements for each property. A change in any one or more of these factors could materially impact whether a property is impaired as of any given valuation date.

Other Critical Accounting Policies

Please refer to our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 30, 2009 for a discussion of our critical accounting policies for “Investments in Real Estate and Real Estate Entities including Property Acquisitions” and “Revenue Recognition.” There have been no changes to these policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Measure

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is a widely recognized measure of REIT performance. We calculate FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. FFO represents net income (loss) (as computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains from disposition of property (but including impairments and provisions for losses on property held for sale), plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (including capitalized leasing costs and tenant allowances or improvements). Adjustments for our unconsolidated joint venture are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization and gains from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.

However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results of operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other Equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other Equity REITs’ FFO. As a result, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to meet our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. FFO also should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flows from operating activities (as computed in accordance with GAAP).

See Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 30, 2009 for a discussion regarding our exposure to market risk. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since year end 2008.

Item 4T.	Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, Nelson C. Rising, our principal executive officer, and Shant Koumriqian, our principal financial officer, concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2009.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We may make changes in our internal control processes from time to time in the future.

Factors That May Affect Future Results

(Cautionary Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995)

Certain written and oral statements made or incorporated by reference from time to time by us or our representatives in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other filings or reports filed with the SEC, press releases, conferences, or otherwise, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act). In particular, statements relating to our liquidity and capital resources, prospective asset dispositions, portfolio performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Furthermore, all of the statements regarding future financial performance (including anticipated FFO), market conditions and demographics) are forward-looking statements. We are including this cautionary statement to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any such forward-looking statements. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or that management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “result” and similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which were based on results and trends at the time they were made, to anticipate future results or trends.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, liquidity or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

Difficulties resulting from any defaults by our special purpose property-owning subsidiaries under loans that are recourse or non-recourse to our Operating Partnership;

The continued or increased negative impact of the current credit crisis and global economic slowdown;

Adverse economic or real estate developments in Southern California, particularly in the LACBD or Orange County region;

Difficulties in disposing of identified properties at attractive prices or at all;

Our failure to obtain additional capital or extend or refinance debt maturities;

Table of Contents

Our dependence on significant tenants, many of which are in industries that have been severely impacted by the current credit crisis and global economic slowdown;

Defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants;

Decreased rental rates, increased lease concessions or failure to achieve occupancy targets;

Our failure to reduce our significant level of indebtedness;

Further decreases in the market value of our properties;

Future terrorist attacks in the U.S.;

Increased interest rates and operating costs;

Potential loss of key personnel;

Our failure to maintain our status as a REIT;

Our failure to successfully operate acquired properties and operations;

Difficulty in operating the properties owned through our joint venture;

Our failure to successfully develop or redevelop properties;

Environmental uncertainties and risks related to natural disasters; and

Changes in real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates.

Set forth below are some (but not all) of the factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

We believe the following risks as well as the risks identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008 are material to our stockholders. You should carefully consider the following factors in evaluating our company, our properties and our business. The occurrence of any of the following risks might cause our stockholders to lose all or part of their investment. For purposes of this section, the term “stockholders” means the holders of shares of our common stock and of our Series A Preferred Stock.

Certain of our special purpose property-owning subsidiaries are currently in default under non-recourse mortgage loans, and other special purpose property-owning subsidiaries may default under their respective loans in the future.

Five of our special purpose property-owning subsidiaries are currently in default under non-recourse mortgage loans due to each such subsidiaries’ failure to make full monthly debt service payments: Stadium Towers Plaza, Park Place II, 2600 Michelson, Pacific Arts Plaza and 550 South Hope.

The continuing default by our special purpose property-owning subsidiaries under those non-recourse loans will give the lenders the right to accelerate the payment on the loans and the right to foreclose on the property underlying such loan. Our subsidiaries’ continued failure to make debt service payments under these loans will likely result in pursuit of these remedies. We are in discussions with the special servicers regarding a cooperative resolution on each of these assets. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to resolve these matters on acceptable terms, which will likely result in foreclosure.

Table of Contents

In addition to the special purpose property-owning subsidiaries described above, other special purpose property-owning subsidiaries may default under additional loans in the future, including non-recourse loans where the relevant project is suffering from cash shortfalls on operating expenses and debt service obligations. In the event that any of our special purpose property-owning subsidiaries default under a loan and we are unable to cooperatively resolve the matter with the lender or special servicers (with respect to CMBS and/or securitized loans), the lender may foreclose on the property underlying such loan and our business, financial condition, results of operations and common stock price could be adversely affected.

Our senior management’s focus on asset dispositions, loan defaults, cash generation and general strategic matters may adversely affect us.

As discussed throughout this report, we have announced our intent to dispose of several non-core assets to preserve and generate cash. We are also concurrently exploring various strategic alternatives and capital raising opportunities to generate cash. This focus could adversely affect our operations in a number of ways, including the risks that such activities could, among other things:

Disrupt operations and distract management;

Fail to successfully achieve the expected benefits;

Be time consuming and expensive and result in the loss of business opportunities;

Subject us to litigation;

Result in increased difficulties due to uncertainties regarding our future operations; and

Cause the trading price of our common stock to further decrease and/or continue to be highly volatile.

Our debt covenants restrict our ability to enter into certain transactions if or when we decide to do so.

Certain of our material debt obligations require us to comply with financial and other covenants, including, but not limited to, net worth and liquidity covenants, due on sale clauses, change in control restrictions, NYSE listing requirements and other financial requirements. Some or all of these covenants could prevent or delay our ability to enter into certain transactions that may be in the best interests of our stockholders, including our ability to:

Sell identified properties or portfolios of properties;

Engage in a change in control of the Company;

Merge with or into another company; or

Sell all or substantially all of our assets.

Specifically, some or all of these covenants may delay or prevent a change in control of the Company, even if a change in control might be beneficial to our stockholders, deter tender offers that may be beneficial to our stockholders, or limit stockholders’ opportunity to receive a potential premium for their shares. Absent any waiver of, or modification to, such covenants or the refinancing of the indebtedness containing such covenants, our ability to structure and consummate a transaction is restricted by our need to remain in compliance with such covenants.

Table of Contents

We may not be able to extend, refinance or repay our substantial indebtedness, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and common stock price.

We have a substantial amount of debt that we may not be able to extend, refinance or repay. As of September 30, 2009, we have $603.0 million of debt maturing in 2010. Due to (1) significantly reduced asset values throughout our portfolio, (2) our substantial debt level encumbering nearly all of our assets, (3) limited access to commercial real estate mortgages in the current market and (4) material changes in lending parameters, including loan-to-value standards, we will face significant challenges refinancing our existing debt on acceptable terms or at all. Our substantial indebtedness also requires us to use a material portion of our cash flow to service principal and interest on our debt, which limits the cash flow available for other business expenses or opportunities. Also, our agreements with Master Investments and Mr. Maguire and other contributors to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain certain debt levels may limit our flexibility to refinance the debt encumbering our properties.

We may not have the cash necessary to repay our debt as it matures. Therefore, failure to refinance or extend our debt as it comes due, or a failure to satisfy the conditions and requirements of such debt, could result in an event of default that could potentially allow lenders to accelerate such debt. If our debt is accelerated, our assets may not be sufficient to repay such debt in full, and our available cash flow may not be adequate to maintain our current operations. If we are unable to refinance or repay our debt as it comes due (particularly in the case of loans with recourse to our Operating Partnership) and maintain sufficient cash flow, our business, financial condition, results of operations and common stock price will be materially and adversely affected, and we may be required to file for bankruptcy protection. Furthermore, even if we are able to obtain extensions on our existing debt, such extensions may include operational and financial covenants significantly more restrictive than our current debt covenants. Any such extensions will also require us to pay certain fees to, and expenses of, our lenders. Any such fees and cash flow restrictions will affect our ability of fund our ongoing operations from our operating cash flows, as discussed in this report.

Our Operating Partnership’s contingent obligations may become payable in the event of a default by our special purpose property-owning subsidiaries under their debt obligations.

In connection with the incurrence of otherwise non-recourse loans by our special purpose property-owning subsidiaries, our Operating Partnership has provided various forms of partial guaranties to the lenders originating those loans. These guaranties are contingent obligations that could give rise to defined amounts of recourse against our Operating Partnership, should the special purpose property-owning subsidiaries be unable to satisfy certain obligations under otherwise non-recourse mortgage loans. These guaranties are in the form of (1) master leases whereby our Operating Partnership agreed to guarantee the payment of rents and/or re-tenanting costs for certain tenant leases existing at the time of loan origination should the tenants not satisfy their obligations through their lease terms, (2) the guaranty of debt service payments for a period of time (but not the guaranty of repayment of principal), (3) master leases of a defined amount of space over a defined period of time, with offsetting credit received for actual rents collected through third-party leases entered into with respect to the master leased space, and (4) customary repayment guaranties under construction loans.

Our Operating Partnership’s partial guaranties are described in Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Indebtedness—Operating Partnership Contingent Obligations.” Certain of these partial guarantees may be triggered if the relevant special purpose property-owning subsidiary defaults under the related debt obligation. Any payments made by our Operating Partnership under these partial guaranties could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and common stock price. There is also no assurance that our Operating Partnership will be able to make such payments as they become due.

The recourse obligations also impact our ability to dispose of the underlying assets on favorable terms or at all. In some cases we may be required to continue to own properties that currently operate at a loss and utilize a significant portion of our unrestricted cash because we do not have the means to fund the recourse obligations in the case of a foreclosure of the property. Even if we are able to cooperatively dispose of these properties, the lender(s) will likely require substantial cash payments to release us from the recourse obligations, impacting our liquidity position.

Our Operating Partnership is subject to obligations under certain “non-recourse carve out” guarantees that may be triggered in the future.

Most of our properties are encumbered by traditional non-recourse debt obligations. In connection with most of these loans, however, our Operating Partnership entered into certain “non-recourse carve out” guarantees, which provide for the loans to become partially or fully recourse against our Operating Partnership if certain triggering events occur. Although these events are different for each guarantee, some of the common events include:

The special purpose property-owning subsidiary’s or Operating Partnership’s filing a voluntary petition for bankruptcy;

The special purpose property-owning subsidiary’s failure to maintain its status as a special purpose entity;

Subject to certain conditions, the special purpose property-owning subsidiary’s failure to obtain lender’s written consent prior to any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the associated property; and

Subject to certain conditions, the special purpose property-owning subsidiary’s failure to obtain lender’s written consent prior to a transfer or conveyance of the associated property.

In the event that any of these triggering events occur and the loans become partially or fully recourse against our Operating Partnership, our business, financial condition, results of operations and common stock price could be materially adversely affected and our insolvency could result.

Our substantial indebtedness adversely affects our financial health and operating flexibility.

As of September 30, 2009, our total consolidated indebtedness was $4.4 billion, including $0.9 billion of debt associated with Properties in Default. Payments of principal and interest on borrowings may leave us with insufficient cash resources to operate our properties. We may not generate sufficient cash flow after debt service to reinstate distributions on our common stock and/or Series A Preferred Stock in the near term or at all. In the event of a default by any of our special purpose property-owning subsidiaries, our debt agreements may also prevent us from paying distributions necessary to maintain our REIT qualification. Our existing mortgage agreements contain lockbox and cash management provisions, which, under certain circumstances, limit our ability to utilize available cash flows at the specific property, including for the payment of distributions. Our level of debt and the limitations imposed on us by our debt agreements could have significant adverse consequences to us and the value of our common stock, regardless of our ability to refinance or extend our debt, including:

Limiting our ability to borrow additional amounts for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, execution of our business plan or other purposes;

Limiting our ability to use operating cash flow in other areas of our business or to pay dividends because we must dedicate a substantial portion of these funds to service our debt;

Increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

Table of Contents

Limiting our ability to capitalize on business opportunities and to react to competitive pressures and adverse changes in government regulations;

Limiting our ability to fund capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions;

Limiting our ability or increasing the costs to refinance our indebtedness; and

Limiting our ability to enter into marketing and hedging transactions by reducing the number of counterparties with whom we can enter into such transactions as well as the volume of those transactions.

The lockbox and cash management arrangements contained in our loan agreements provide that substantially all of the income generated by our special purpose property-owning subsidiaries is deposited directly into lockbox accounts and then swept into cash management accounts for the benefit of our various lenders. With the exception of the Properties in Default, cash is distributed to us only after funding of improvement, leasing and maintenance reserves and the payment of debt service, insurance, taxes, operating expenses, and extraordinary capital expenditures and leasing expenses.

Furthermore, foreclosures could create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds, a circumstance that could hinder our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Code. Foreclosures could also trigger our tax indemnification obligations under the terms of our agreements with Master Investments, Mr. Maguire and others with respect to sales of certain properties, obligating us to use commercially reasonable efforts to make certain levels of indebtedness available for them to guarantee.

Given the restrictions in our debt covenants and those that may be included in any loan extensions we may obtain in the future, we may be significantly limited in our operating and financial flexibility and may be limited in our ability to respond to changes in our business or competitive activities.

Certain of our special purpose property-owning subsidiaries may not have sufficient cash to maintain their operations.

Operating cash flows at certain of our special purpose property-owning subsidiaries are not sufficient to cover operating expenses and debt service obligations, and may not be sufficient to pay the indebtedness encumbering the related property as it comes due, absent refinancing, disposition of the property or the raising of additional equity capital. Because we have limited short-term sources of cash, in the event that cash flows from operations continue to be or become insufficient to fund operating expenses at certain of our properties, our special purpose property-owning subsidiaries may default on the mortgage loans encumbering the related properties, which could result in foreclosure.

We may not be able to raise capital to repay debt or finance our operations.

We are working to generate capital from a variety of sources. There can be no assurance that any of these capital raising activities will be successful. The deteriorating economic climate negatively affects the value of our properties and therefore reduces our ability to sell these properties on acceptable terms. Our ability to sell our properties is also negatively affected by the weakness of the credit markets, which increases the cost and difficulty for potential purchasers to acquire financing, as well as by the illiquid nature of real estate. Finally, our current financial difficulties may encourage potential purchasers to offer less attractive terms for our properties. These conditions also negatively affect our ability to raise capital through other means, including through the sale of equity or joint venture interests.

Continuing adverse economic conditions may have an adverse effect on our revenue and available cash, and may also impact our ability to sell certain properties if or when we decide to do so.

Our business requires continued access to cash to finance our operations, dividends, capital expenditures, indebtedness repayment obligations and development costs. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash for these purposes. Given current market conditions, we believe there is a significantly increased risk that rental revenue generated from our tenants will decrease due to their deteriorating ability to make rent payments and the increasing risk of tenant bankruptcies. In addition to the direct adverse effect of tenant failures on our operations, these events also negatively affect our ability to attract and maintain rent levels for new tenants. Further, the actual or perceived adverse impact of recent economic conditions on certain industries in which many of our tenants operate, including the mortgage, financial, insurance and professional services industries, may also negatively impact our revenue and our ability to complete any sale of our properties. These circumstances negatively affect our revenue and available cash, and also decrease the value of our properties, reducing the likelihood that we would be able to sell such properties, if or when we decide to do so, on attractive terms or at all.

Real properties are illiquid investments and we may be unable to adjust our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions or sell properties if or when we decide to do so.

Real properties are illiquid investments and we may be unable to adjust our portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, the real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand, all of which are beyond our control. Particularly in light of the current economic conditions, we cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any property for the price or on the terms set by us, or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective buyer would be acceptable to us. We also cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing buyer and to close the sale of a property or the disposition of properties that are in default. In addition, the availability of financing and current market conditions may delay or prevent the closing of a sale of a property even if the price and other terms of the transaction were acceptable to us. The foregoing could mean that we may be unable to complete the sale of identified properties in the near term or at all.

If our common stock is delisted from the NYSE, there could be a negative effect on our business that could impact our financial condition, results of operations and ability to service our debt obligations.

Our lowered stock price increases the risk that our stock will be delisted from the NYSE. The delisting of our common stock or threat thereof could have adverse effects by, among other things:

Reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock;

Reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, thereby further restricting our ability to obtain equity financing;

Damaging our reputation with current or potential tenants, lenders, vendors and other third parties;

Potentially giving rise to lender consent rights with respect to future change in control arrangements, property dispositions and certain other transactions under several of our debt agreements;

Reducing our ability to retain, attract and motivate our directors, officers and employees; and

Requiring the time and attention of our management and key employees on this issue, diverting attention from other responsibilities.

Table of Contents

We depend on significant tenants.

As of September 30, 2009, our 20 largest tenants represented 44.9% of our Effective Portfolio’s total annualized rental revenue (excluding Properties in Default). Our rental revenue depends on entering into leases with and collecting rents from tenants. General and regional economic conditions, such as the current challenging economic climate described above, may adversely affect our major tenants and potential tenants in our markets. Some of our tenants are in the mortgage, financial, insurance and professional services industries, and these industries have been severely impacted by the current economic climate. Many of our major tenants have experienced or may experience a notable business downturn, weakening their financial condition and potentially resulting in their failure to make timely rental payments and/or a default under their leases. In many cases, we have made substantial up-front investments in the applicable leases, through tenant improvement allowances and other concessions, as well as typical transaction costs (including professional fees and commissions) that we may not be able to recover. In the event of any tenant default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment.

The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant also may adversely affect the income produced by our properties. If any tenant becomes a debtor in a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code, we cannot evict the tenant solely because of the bankruptcy. In addition, the bankruptcy court might authorize the tenant to reject and terminate their lease with us. Our claim against the tenant for unpaid future rent would be subject to a statutory cap that might be substantially less than the remaining rent actually owed under the lease. Also, our claim for unpaid rent would likely not be paid in full.

There have recently been a number of high profile bank failures, and several of our banking tenants faced distress in 2008 and continue to face distress in 2009. Failed banks or banks involved in government-facilitated sales are subject to the FDIC’s statutory authority and receivership process. The FDIC has receivership powers that are substantially broader than those of a bankruptcy trustee. In dealing with the FDIC in any repudiation of a lease, the Company as landlord is likely in a less favorable position than with a debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding. Many of the creditor protections that exist in a bankruptcy proceeding do not exist in a FDIC receivership.

Our revenue and cash flow could be materially adversely affected if any of our significant tenants were to become bankrupt or insolvent, or suffer a downturn in their business, default under their leases or fail to renew their leases at all or renew on terms less favorable to us than their current terms.

Continuing state budget problems in California may have an adverse effect on our operating results and occupancy levels.

The State of California continues to address severe budget shortfalls through reductions of benefits and services and the layoff or furlough of employees. The perception that the State is not able to effectively manage its budget or cuts in services and benefits may reduce demand for leased space in California office properties. A significant reduction in demand for office space could adversely affect our future financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, quoted trading prices of our securities and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay distributions to stockholders.

We may be unable to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as leases expire.

As of September 30, 2009, leases representing 0.9% and 9.3% of the square footage of the properties in our Effective Portfolio will expire in 2009 and 2010, respectively, and an additional 17.9% of the square footage of the properties in our Effective Portfolio was available for lease. Above-market rental rates at some of our properties will force us to renew or re-lease some expiring leases at lower rates. We cannot assure you that leases will be renewed or that our properties will be re-leased at net effective

Table of Contents

rental rates equal to or above their current net effective rental rates (particularly in the current softened leasing market). If the rental rates for our properties decrease, our existing tenants do not renew their leases or we do not re-lease a significant portion of our available space and space for which leases will expire, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends to our stockholders would be adversely affected.

Additional material risk factors are discussed in other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 30, 2009. Those risks are also relevant to our performance and financial condition. Moreover, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all of such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

(b) Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities: None.

Item 3.	Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

Five of our special purpose property-owning subsidiaries are in default under non-recourse mortgage loans. As of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the amount of default and total arrearage under these loans are as follows (in thousands):

Property	Initial Default Date	Interest		Principal		Impound Amounts		Total
550 South Hope	August 6, 2009	$	6,553	$	—	$	938	$	7,491
Pacific Arts Plaza	September 1, 2009		5,385		—		824		6,209
Park Place II	August 11, 2009		2,255		328		331		2,914
2600 Michelson	August 11, 2009		2,600		—		385		2,985
Stadium Towers Plaza	August 11, 2009		2,376		—		26		2,402
		$	19,169	$	328	$	2,504	$	22,001

The interest shown in the table above includes contractual and default interest calculated per the terms of the loan agreements and late fees assessed by the special servicers.

In addition to the defaults described above, other special purpose property-owning subsidiaries may default under additional loans in the future, including non-recourse loans where the relevant project is suffering from cash shortfalls on operating expenses and debt service obligations. The continuing default by our special purpose property-owning subsidiaries under the above described loans will give the lenders the right to accelerate payment due on the loans and the right to foreclose on the property underlying such loan. Our subsidiaries’ continued failure to make debt service payments under these loans will likely result in pursuit of these remedies. We are in discussions with the special servicers regarding a cooperative resolution on each of these assets. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to resolve these matters on acceptable terms, which will likely result in foreclosure.
