Business History Our company, Franklin Street Properties Corp., which we will refer to as FSP Corp. or the Company, is a Maryland corporation that operates in a manner intended to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes. FSP Corp. is the successor to Franklin Street Partners Limited Partnership, or the FSP Partnership, which was originally formed as a Massachusetts general partnership in January 1997 as the successor to a Massachusetts general partnership that was formed in 1981. On January 1, 2002, the FSP Partnership converted into FSP Corp., which we refer to as the conversion. As a result of this conversion, the FSP Partnership ceased to exist and we succeeded to the business of the FSP Partnership. In the conversion, each unit of both general and limited partnership interests in the FSP Partnership was converted into one share of our common stock. As a result of the conversion, we hold, directly and indirectly, 100% of the interest in three former subsidiaries of the FSP Partnership: FSP Investments LLC, FSP Property Management LLC, and FSP Holdings LLC. We operate some of our business through these subsidiaries. On June 1, 2003, we acquired 13 real estate investment trusts by merger. In these mergers, we issued 25,000,091 shares of our common stock to holders of preferred stock in these REITs. As a result of these mergers, we now hold all of the assets previously held by these REITs. On April 30, 2005, we acquired four real estate investment trusts by merger, which we refer to as the 2005 Target REITs. In these mergers we issued 10,894,994 shares of common stock to holders of preferred stock in the 2005 Target REITs. As a result of these mergers, we now hold all of the assets previously held by the 2005 Target REITs. On June 2, 2005, we began trading our common stock on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "FSP". On April 30, 2006, we acquired five real estate investment trusts by merger, which we will refer to as the 2006 Target REITs. In these mergers we issued 10,971,697 shares of common stock to holders of preferred stock in the 2006 Target REITs. As a result of these mergers, we now hold all of the assets previously held by the 2006 Target REITs. Our Business We operate in two business segments and have two principal sources of revenue: o Real estate operations, including real estate leasing, interim acquisition financing, development and asset/property management, which generate rental income, loan origination fees and interest income, development fees and management fees, respectively. o Investment banking/investment services, which generate brokerage commissions and other fees related to the organization of single-purpose entities that own real estate and the private placement of equity in those entities. We refer to these entities which are organized as corporations and operated in a manner intended to qualify as real estate investment trusts, as Sponsored REITs. Previously these entities were called Sponsored Entities and were organized as partnerships. We also pursue on a selective basis the sale of our properties to take advantage of the value creation and demand for our properties, or for geographic or property specific reasons. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our business segments. 1 Real Estate We own and operate a portfolio of real estate consisting of 29 properties as of December 31, 2006, which includes 28 office buildings and one industrial use property. In addition, we own one office building that was held for sale as of December 31, 2006, and was sold on January 31, 2007. We derive rental revenue from income paid to us by tenants of these properties. From time-to-time we dispose of properties generating gains or losses in an ongoing effort to improve and upgrade our portfolio. See Item 2 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information about our properties. FSP Corp. typically makes a loan to each Sponsored REIT which is secured by a mortgage on the borrower's real estate. The loans produce revenue in the form of interest and loan origination fees payable to FSP Corp. These loans typically are repaid out of the proceeds of the borrower's equity offering. We also provide development services, asset management services, property management services and/or property accounting services to our portfolio and certain of our Sponsored REITs through our subsidiary FSP Property Management LLC. FSP Corp. recognizes revenue for its receipt of fee income from Sponsored REITs that have not been acquired by us. FSP Property Management does not receive any rental income. Investment Banking/Investment Services Through our subsidiary FSP Investments LLC, which acts as a real estate investment banking firm and broker/dealer, we organize Sponsored REITs, and sell equity in them through private placements exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. These single-purpose entities each typically acquire a single real estate asset. FSP Investments raises capital required to equitize these entities through best efforts offerings to "accredited investors" within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act. We retain 100% of the common stock interest in the Sponsored REIT, though there is virtually no economic benefit or risk subsequent to the completion of the syndication. Since 1997, FSP Investments has sponsored 46 entities, 13 of which were Sponsored Entities, and 33 of which were Sponsored REITs. FSP Investments derives revenue from syndication and other transaction fees received in connection with the sale of preferred stock in the Sponsored REITs and from fees paid by the Sponsored REITs for its services in identifying, inspecting and negotiating to purchase real properties on their behalf. FSP Investments is a registered broker/dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. We have made an election to treat FSP Investments as a "taxable REIT subsidiary" for federal income tax purposes. Investment Objectives Our investment objectives are to increase the cash available for distribution in the form of dividends to our stockholders and to create shareholder value by increasing revenue from rental income, any net gains from sales of properties and investment banking services. We expect that, through FSP Investments, we will continue to organize and cause the offering of Sponsored REITs in the future and that we will continue to derive investment banking/investment services income, from such activities as well as real estate revenue from loan origination fees, development fees and interest. We may also acquire additional real properties by direct cash purchase or by acquisition of Sponsored REITs, though we have no obligation to acquire or offer to acquire any Sponsored REIT in the future. In addition, we may invest in real estate by purchasing shares of preferred stock offered in the syndications of our Sponsored REITs. From time to time, as market conditions warrant, we may sell properties owned by us. In 2006 we sold six properties and reached an agreement to sell another property. In 2005 we sold six properties and reached an agreement to sell another property. In 2004 no properties were sold. When we sell a property, we either distribute some or all of the sale proceeds to our stockholders as a distribution or retain some or all of such proceeds for investment in real properties or other corporate activities. 2 We may acquire, and have acquired, real properties in any geographic area of the United States and of any property type. We own 30 properties that are located in 15 different states. Of the 30 properties, 29 are office buildings (one of which was held for sale and was sold on January 31, 2007), and one is an industrial property. See Item 2 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We rely on the following principles in selecting real properties for acquisition by a Sponsored REIT or FSP Corp. and managing them after acquisition: o we seek to buy or develop investment properties at a price which produces value for investors and avoid overpaying for real estate merely to outbid competitors; o we seek to buy or develop properties in excellent locations with substantial infrastructure in place around them and avoid investing in locations where the future construction of such infrastructure is speculative; o we seek to buy or develop properties that are well-constructed and designed to appeal to a broad base of users and avoid properties where quality has been sacrificed to cost savings in construction or which appeal only to a narrow group of users; o we aggressively manage, maintain and upgrade our properties and refuse to neglect or undercapitalize management, maintenance and capital improvement programs; and o we believe that we have the ability to hold properties through down cycles and avoid leveraging properties and placing them at risk of foreclosure; as of February 21, 2007, none of our 29 properties was subject to mortgage debt, though we note that two Sponsored REITs organized by us are subject to mortgage debt. Line of Credit We currently have an unsecured revolving line of credit with a group of banks that provides for borrowings of up to $150,000,000. We have drawn on this line of credit, and intend to draw on this line of credit in the future, to obtain funds primarily for the purpose of making interim mortgage loans to Sponsored REITs or for interim financing of properties we acquire directly for our portfolio. We typically cause mortgage loans to Sponsored REITs to be secured by a first mortgage against the real property owned by the Sponsored REIT. We make these loans to enable a Sponsored REIT to acquire real property prior to the consummation of the offering of its equity interests, and the loan is repaid out of the offering proceeds. We have no restriction on the percentage of our assets that may be invested in any single mortgage. Competition With respect to our real estate investments, we face competition in each of the markets where the properties are located. In order to establish, maintain or increase the rental revenues for a property, it must be competitive on location, cost and amenities with other buildings of similar use. Some of our competitors may have significantly more resources than we do and may be able to offer more attractive rental rates or services. On the other hand, some of our competitors may be smaller or have less fixed overhead costs, less cash or other resources that make them willing or able to accept lower rents in order to maintain a certain occupancy level. In markets where there is not currently significant existing property competition, our competitors may decide to enter the market and build new buildings to compete with our existing projects or those in a development stage. Our competition is not only with other developers, but also with property users who choose to own their building or a portion of the building in the form of an office condominium, and larger market forces (including changes in interest rates and tax treatment) and individual decisions beyond our control may affect our ability to compete with those forms of ownership. With respect to our investment banking and investment services business, we face competition for investment dollars from every other kind of investment, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange traded funds and other real-estate related investments, including other REITs. Some of our competitors have significantly more resources than we do and are able to advertise their investment products. Because the offerings of the Sponsored REITs are made pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, FSP Investments may not advertise the Sponsored REITs or otherwise engage in any general solicitation of investors to purchase interests in the Sponsored REITs, which may affect our ability to compete for investment dollars. In addition, because we offer the Sponsored REITs only to accredited investors, our pool of potential investment clients is smaller than that available to some other financial institutions. 3 Employees We had 37 full time and 1 part-time employees as of December 31, 2006.

We will voluntarily provide paper copies of our filings and code of ethics upon written request received at the address on the cover of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, free of charge. Item 1A. Risk Factors The following important factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and presented elsewhere by management from time-to-time. If we are not able to collect sufficient rents from each of our owned real properties, we may suffer significant operating losses or a reduction in cash available for future dividends. A substantial portion of our revenues are generated by the rental income of our real properties. If our properties do not provide us with a steady rental income, our revenues will decrease and may cause us to incur operating losses in the future. We may not be able to find properties that meet our criteria for purchase. Growth in our investment banking/investment services business and our portfolio of real estate is dependent on the ability of our acquisition executives to find properties for sale and/or development which meet our investment criteria. To the extent they fail to find such properties, we will be unable to syndicate offerings of Sponsored REITs to investors, and this segment of our business could have lower revenue, and we would be unable to increase the size of our portfolio of real estate, which would reduce the cash available for distribution to our stockholders. If we are unable to fully syndicate a Sponsored REIT, we may be required to keep a balance outstanding on our line of credit or use our cash balance to repay our line of credit, which may reduce cash available for distribution to our stockholders. We typically draw on our line of credit to make an interim mortgage loan to a Sponsored REIT, so that it can acquire real property prior to the consummation of the offering of its equity interests; this interim loan is typically secured by a first mortgage against the real property acquired by the Sponsored REIT. Once the offering has been completed, the Sponsored REIT typically repays the loan out of the offering proceeds. If we are unable to fully syndicate a Sponsored REIT, the Sponsored REIT could be unable to fully repay the loan, and we would have to satisfy our obligation under our line of credit through other means. If we are required to use cash for this purpose, we would have less cash available for distribution to our stockholders. 4 A default under our line of credit could have a material adverse effect on the cash available for distribution to our stockholders and would limit our growth. We typically draw on our line of credit to make an interim mortgage loan to a Sponsored REIT, so that the Sponsored REIT can acquire real property prior to the consummation of the offering of such Sponsored REIT's equity interests. Once the offering has been completed, the Sponsored REIT typically repays the loan out of the offering proceeds. We also may use the line of credit to purchase properties directly for our real estate portfolio. A default under our line of credit could result in difficulty financing growth in both the investment banking/investment services and real estate segments of our business. It could also result in a reduction in the cash available for distribution to our stockholders because revenue for our investment banking/investment services segment is directly related to the amount of equity raised by Sponsored REITs which we syndicate. In addition, a significant part of our growth strategy is to acquire additional real properties by cash purchase or by acquisition of Sponsored REITs, and the inability to utilize the line of credit would make it substantially more difficult to pursue acquisitions by either method. To the extent we have a balance outstanding on the line of credit on the date of its default, we would have to satisfy our obligation through other means. If we are required to use cash for this purpose, we would have less cash available for distribution to our stockholders. We face risks in continuing to attract investors for Sponsored REITs. Our investment banking/investment services business continues to depend upon its ability to attract purchasers of equity interests in Sponsored REITs. Our success in this area will depend on the propensity and ability of investors who have previously invested in Sponsored REITs to continue to invest in future Sponsored REITs and on our ability to expand the investor pool for the Sponsored REITs by identifying new potential investors. Moreover, our investment banking/investment services business may be affected to the extent existing Sponsored REITs incur losses or have operating results that fail to meet investors' expectations. We are dependent on key personnel. We depend on the efforts of George J. Carter, our President and Chief Executive Officer and a Director; Barbara J. Fournier, our Chief Operating Officer, Treasurer, Secretary, a Vice President and a Director; John G. Demeritt, our Chief Financial Officer; Janet Prier Notopoulos, a Vice President and a Director; R. Scott MacPhee, an Executive Vice President; and William W. Gribbell, an Executive Vice President. If any of our executive officers were to resign, our operations could be adversely affected. We do not have employment agreements with any of our executive officers. Our level of dividends may fluctuate. Because our investment banking/investment services business is transactional in nature and real estate occupancy levels and rental rates can fluctuate, there is no predictable recurring level of revenue from such activities. As a result of this, the amount of cash available for distribution may fluctuate, which may result in us not being able to maintain or grow dividend levels in the future. We face risks from tenant defaults or bankruptcies. If any of our tenants defaults on its lease, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment. In addition, at any time, a tenant of one of our properties may seek the protection of bankruptcy laws, which could result in the rejection and termination of such tenant's lease and thereby cause a reduction in cash available for distribution to our stockholders. 5 The real properties held by us may significantly decrease in value. As of February 21, 2007, we owned 29 properties. Some or all of these properties may decline in value. To the extent our real properties decline in value, our stockholders could lose some or all the value of their investments. The value of our common stock may be adversely affected if the real properties held by us decline in value since these real properties represent the majority of the tangible assets held by us. Moreover, if we are forced to sell or lease the real property held by us below its initial purchase price or its carrying costs or if we are forced to lease real property at below market rates because of the condition of the property, our results of operations would be adversely affected and such negative results of operations may result in lower dividends being paid to holders of our common stock. New acquisitions may fail to perform as expected. We may acquire new properties, whether by direct FSP Corp. purchase with cash or our line of credit, by acquisition of Sponsored REITs or other entities by cash or through the issuance of shares of our stock or by investment in a Sponsored REIT. We acquired the four 2005 Target REITs and the properties they own on April 30, 2005, a property in Colorado in February 2005, another property in Indiana in July 2005 and another property in Texas in February 2006. We also acquired the five 2006 Target REITs and the properties they own on April 30, 2006, a property in Georgia in June 2006 and a property in Colorado in December 2006. Newly acquired properties may fail to perform as expected, in which case, our results of operations could be adversely affected. We face risks in owning, developing and operating real property. An investment in us is subject to the risks incident to the ownership, development and operation of real estate-related assets. These risks include the fact that real estate investments are generally illiquid, which may affect our ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions, as well as the risks normally associated with: o changes in general and local economic conditions; o the supply or demand for particular types of properties in particular markets; o changes in market rental rates; o the impact of environmental protection laws; and o changes in tax, real estate and zoning laws. Certain significant costs, such as real estate taxes, utilities, insurance and maintenance costs, generally are not reduced even when a property's rental income is reduced. In addition, environmental and tax laws, interest rate levels, the availability of financing and other factors may affect real estate values and property income. Furthermore, the supply of commercial space fluctuates with market conditions. We may encounter significant delays in reletting vacant space, resulting in losses of income. When leases expire, we will incur expenses and may not be able to re-lease the space on the same terms. Certain leases provide tenants the right to terminate early if they pay a fee. If we are unable to re-lease space promptly, if the terms are significantly less favorable than anticipated or if the costs are higher, we may have to reduce distributions to our stockholders. Typical lease terms range from five to ten years, so up to approximately 20% of our rental revenue from commercial properties could be expected to expire each year. We face risks from geographic concentration. The properties in our portfolio as of December 31, 2006, by aggregate square footage, are distributed geographically as follows: Southwest - 27%, Northeast - 12%, Midwest - 19%, West - 24% and Southeast - 18%. However, within certain of those regions, we hold a larger concentration of our properties in Dallas, Texas - 18%, Greater Denver, Colorado - 13%, Atlanta, Georgia - 11% and Houston, Texas - 8%. We are likely to face risks to the extent that any of these areas in which we hold a larger concentration of our properties suffer deteriorating economic conditions. 6 We compete with national, regional and local real estate operators and developers, which could adversely affect our cash flow. Competition exists in every market in which our properties are currently located and in every market in which properties we may acquire in the future will be located. We compete with, among others, national, regional and numerous local real estate operators and developers. Such competition may adversely affect the percentage of leased space and the rental revenues of our properties, which could adversely affect our cash flow from operations and our ability to make expected distributions to our stockholders. Some of our competitors may have more resources than we do or other competitive advantages. Competition may be accelerated by any increase in availability of funds for investment in real estate. For example, decreases in interest rates tend to increase the availability of funds and therefore can increase competition. To the extent that our properties continue to operate profitably, this will likely stimulate new development of competing properties. The extent to which we are affected by competition will depend in significant part on local market conditions. There is limited potential for revenue to increase from an increase in leased space in our properties. We anticipate that future increases in revenue from our properties will be primarily the result of scheduled rental rate increases or rental rate increases as leases expire. Properties with higher rates of vacancy are generally located in soft economic markets so that it may be difficult to realize increases in revenue when vacant space is re-leased. We are subject to possible liability relating to environmental matters, and we cannot assure you that we have identified all possible liabilities. Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real property may become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances released on or in its property. Such laws may impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or caused, the release of such hazardous substances. The presence of hazardous substances on a property may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell such property or to borrow using such property as collateral, and it may cause the owner of the property to incur substantial remediation costs. In addition to claims for cleanup costs, the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in the owner incurring substantial liabilities as a result of a claim by a private party for personal injury or a claim by an adjacent property owner for property damage. In addition, we cannot assure you that: o future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability; o the current environmental conditions of our properties will not be affected by the condition of properties in the vicinity of such properties (such as the presence of leaking underground storage tanks) or by third parties unrelated to us; o tenants will not violate their leases by introducing hazardous or toxic substances into our properties that could expose us to liability under federal or state environmental laws; or o environmental conditions, such as the growth of bacteria and toxic mold in heating and ventilation systems or on walls, will not occur at our properties and pose a threat to human health. We are subject to compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act and fire and safety regulations, any of which could require us to make significant capital expenditures. All of our properties are required to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), and the regulations, rules and orders that may be issued thereunder. The ADA has separate compliance requirements for "public accommodations" and "commercial facilities," but generally requires that buildings be made accessible to persons with disabilities. Compliance with ADA requirements might require, among other things, removal of access barriers and noncompliance could result in the imposition of fines by the U.S. government or an award of damages to private litigants. 7 In addition, we are required to operate our properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations, as they may be adopted by governmental agencies and bodies and become applicable to our properties. Compliance with such requirements may require us to make substantial capital expenditures, which expenditures would reduce cash otherwise available for distribution to our stockholders. We may lose capital investment or anticipated profits if an uninsured event occurs. We carry, or our tenants carry, comprehensive liability, fire and extended coverage with respect to each of our properties, with policy specification and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties. There are, however, certain types of losses that may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should an uninsured material loss occur, we could lose both capital invested in the property and anticipated profits. Contingent or unknown liabilities acquired in mergers or similar transactions could require us to make substantial payments. The properties which we acquired in mergers were acquired subject to liabilities and without any recourse with respect to liabilities, whether known or unknown. As a result, if liabilities were asserted against us based upon any of these properties, we might have to pay substantial sums to settle them, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and our cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Unknown liabilities with respect to properties acquired might include: o liabilities for clean-up or remediation of environmental conditions; o claims of tenants, vendors or other persons dealing with the former owners of the properties; and o liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business. Our employee retention plan may prevent changes in control. During February 2006, our Board of Directors approved a change in control plan, which included a form of retention agreement and discretionary payment plan. Payments under the discretionary plan are capped at 1% of the market capitalization of FSP Corp. as reduced by the amount paid under the retention plan. The costs associated with these two components of the plan may have the effect of discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us and may thereby inhibit a change in control under circumstances that could otherwise give the holders of our common stock the opportunity to realize a greater premium over the then-prevailing market prices. The price of our common stock may vary. The market prices for our common stock may fluctuate with changes in market and economic conditions, including the market perception of REITs in general, and changes in the financial condition of our securities. Such fluctuations may depress the market price of our common stock independent of the financial performance of FSP Corp. The market conditions for REIT stocks generally could affect the market price of our common stock. We would incur adverse tax consequences if we failed to qualify as a REIT. The provisions of the tax code governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts are very technical and complex, and although we expect that we will be organized and will operate in a manner that will enable us to meet such requirements, no assurance can be given that we will always succeed in doing so. In addition, as a result of our acquisition of the target REITs pursuant to the mergers, we might no longer qualify as a real estate investment trust. We could lose our ability to so qualify for a variety of reasons relating to the nature of the assets acquired from the target REITs, the identity of the stockholders of the target REITs who become our stockholders or the failure of one or more of the target REITs to have previously qualified as a real estate investment trust. Moreover, you should note that if one or more of the REITs that we acquired in April 2006, April 2005 or June 2003 did not qualify as a real estate investment trust immediately prior to the consummation of its acquisition, we could be disqualified as a REIT as a result of such acquisition. If in any taxable year we do not qualify as a real estate investment trust, we would be taxed as a corporation and distributions to our stockholders would not be deductible by us in computing our taxable income. In addition, if we were to fail to qualify as a real estate investment trust, we could be disqualified from treatment as a real estate investment trust in the year in 8 which such failure occurred and for the next four taxable years and, consequently, we would be taxed as a regular corporation during such years. Failure to qualify for even one taxable year could result in a significant reduction of our cash available for distribution to our stockholders or could require us to incur indebtedness or liquidate investments in order to generate sufficient funds to pay the resulting federal income tax liabilities. Provisions in our organizational documents may prevent changes in control. Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions, described below, which may have the effect of discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us and may thereby inhibit a change of control under circumstances that could otherwise give the holders of our common stock the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market prices. Ownership Limits. In order for us to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust, the holders of our common stock may be limited to owning, either directly or under applicable attribution rules of the Internal Revenue Code, no more than 9.8% of the lesser of the value or the number of our equity shares, and no holder of common stock may acquire or transfer shares that would result in our shares of common stock being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons. Such ownership limit may have the effect of preventing an acquisition of control of us without the approval of our board of directors. Our Articles of Incorporation give our board of directors the right to refuse to give effect to the acquisition or transfer of shares by a stockholder in violation of these provisions. Staggered Board. Our board of directors is divided into three classes. The terms of these classes will expire in 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. Directors of each class are elected for a three-year term upon the expiration of the initial term of each class. The staggered terms for directors may affect our stockholders' ability to effect a change in control even if a change in control were in the stockholders' best interests. Preferred Stock. Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our board of directors to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share, and to establish the preferences and rights of any such shares issued. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control were in our stockholders' best interest. Increase of Authorized Stock. Our board of directors, without any vote or consent of the stockholders, may increase the number of authorized shares of any class or series of stock or the aggregate number of authorized shares we have authority to issue. The ability to increase the number of authorized shares and issue such shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control were in our stockholders' best interest. Amendment of Bylaws. Our board of directors has the sole power to amend our Bylaws. This power could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control were in our stockholders' best interests. Stockholder Meetings. Our Bylaws require advance notice for stockholder proposals to be considered at annual meetings of stockholders and for stockholder nominations for election of directors at special meetings of stockholders. Our Bylaws also provide that stockholders entitled to cast more than 50% of all the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting must join in a request by stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders. These provisions could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control were in the best interests of our stockholders. Supermajority Votes Required. Our Articles of Incorporation require the affirmative vote of the holders of no less than 80% of the shares of capital stock outstanding and entitled to vote in order (i) to amend the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation relating to the classification of directors, removal of directors, limitation of liability of officers and directors or indemnification of officers and directors or (ii) to amend our Articles of Incorporation to impose cumulative voting in the election of directors. These provisions could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control were in our stockholders' best interest. 9 Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments. None.

Prior to their acquisition, FSP Corp. held a non-controlling common interest with virtually no economic benefits or risks in these REITs, and a preferred interest in one of the 2006 Target REITs. 18 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the consolidated financial statements, including trends which might appear, should not be taken as necessarily indicative of future operations. The following discussion and other parts of this Annual Report on Form 10-K may also contain forward-looking statements based on current judgments and current knowledge of management, which are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that our forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including without limitation changes in economic conditions in the markets in which we own properties, changes in the demand by investors for investment in Sponsored REITs, risks of a lessening of demand for the types of real estate owned by us, changes in government regulations, and expenditures that cannot be anticipated such as utility rate and usage increases, unanticipated repairs, additional staffing, insurance increases and real estate tax valuation reassessments. See "Risk Factors" in Item 1A. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We may not update any of the forward-looking statements after the date this Annual Report on Form 10-K is filed to conform them to actual results or to changes in our expectations that occur after such date, other than as required by law. Overview FSP Corp. or the Company, operates in two business segments: real estate operations and investment banking/investment services. The real estate operations segment involves real estate rental operations, leasing, interim acquisition financing, development services, asset/property management services, property acquisitions and dispositions. The investment banking/investment services segment involves the structuring of real estate investments and broker/dealer services that include the organization of Sponsored REITs, the acquisition and development of real estate on behalf of Sponsored REITs and the raising of capital to equitize the Sponsored REITs through sale of preferred stock in private placements. The main factor that affects our real estate operations is the broad economic market conditions in the United States. These market conditions affect the occupancy levels and the rent levels on both a national and local level. We have no influence on the national market conditions. We look to acquire and/or develop quality properties in good locations in order to lessen the impact of downturns in the market and to take advantage of upturns when they occur. Our investment banking/investment services customers are primarily institutions and high net-worth individuals. To the extent that the broad capital markets affect these investors our business is also affected. These investors have many investment choices. We must continually search for real estate at a price and at a competitive risk/reward rate of return that meets our customer's risk/reward profile for providing a stream of income and as a long-term hedge against inflation. Trends and Uncertainties Real Estate Operations Our property operations during the fourth quarter of 2006 produced profit results that were generally in line with management's expectations. We believed 2006 would be a mixed year for real estate rental operations especially in the office sector, which is our primary property type. In fact, 2006 showed some modest improvement in occupancy, but little rental rate movement in most real estate markets that we are in around the country. In most of our office markets, occupancy rates increased 1%-1.5% and sublease inventory continued to decrease. The general economy did continue to improve in 2006, and management believes that 2007 may continue the positive trend and show legitimate broad-based improvement in real estate operating fundamentals, particularly in the office markets in which we are involved. Nevertheless, assuming a normal cyclical continuation of the current U.S. economic expansion, it is likely to take at least one more year for office occupancies and rents to reach levels that were prevalent in 1999, 2000, and 2001. 19 The portfolio was approximately 89% leased at December 31, 2006 excluding leases expiring on that date. Approximately 10% of the square footage in our real estate portfolio has leases that are scheduled to expire in 2007 as compared to 17% that was scheduled to expire in 2006. We cannot predict when existing vacancy will be leased or if existing tenants with expiring leases will renew their leases or what the terms and conditions of the lease renewals will be, although we expect to renew or sign new leases at current market rates for the locations in which the buildings are located, which in some cases will be below the expiring rental rates. Discontinued Operations and Property Dispositions During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company disposed of one apartment property and five commercial properties. The apartment property is located in Katy, Texas. The five commercial properties are located in Santa Clara, California, Fairfax and Herndon, Virginia and North Andover and Peabody, Massachusetts. An agreement was also reached to sell an office property in Greenville, South Carolina, which was sold on January 31, 2007. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company disposed of three apartment properties and three commercial properties. The three apartment properties included two that are located in Houston, Texas; and one in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The three commercial properties are located in Folsom, California, Columbia, Maryland and San Diego, California. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2006 the South Carolina property is held for sale and is classified as such on our financial statements. The operating results for these real estate assets have been reflected as discontinued operations in the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. We continue to evaluate our portfolio, and in the future may decide to dispose of additional properties from time-to-time in the ordinary course of business. Investment Banking/Investment Services Unlike our real estate operations business, which provides a rental revenue stream which is ongoing and recurring in nature, our investment banking/investment services business is transactional in nature. The Sponsored REIT syndications completed this year and the related amount of equity raised in 2006 were above our expectations. Future business in this area, while always uncertain, is becoming more encouraging to us than in the past two years. Our property acquisition executives continue to be concerned about high valuation levels for prime commercial investment real estate. It appears that a combination of factors, including low interest rates, a growing general economy and substantially increased capital allocation to real estate assets is increasing prices on many properties we would have an interest in acquiring. This upward pressure on prices is causing capitalization rates to fall and prices per square foot to rise. Specifically, our acquisition executives have a challenge identifying enough property at a price acceptable under our investment criteria to grow our overall investment banking/investment services business. Higher revenues from this business increased Net Income and Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) during 2006. As 2007 begins, valuation levels for many top quality investment properties remain at historically high levels, with significant competition from a variety of capital sources to acquire them. We continue to rely solely on our in-house investment executives to access interested investors who have capital they can afford to place in an illiquid position for an indefinite period of time (i.e., invest in a Sponsored REIT). We also continue to evaluate whether our in-house sales force is capable, either through our existing client base or through new clients, of raising sufficient investment capital in Sponsored REITs to achieve future performance objectives. Critical Accounting Policies We have certain critical accounting policies that are subject to judgments and estimates by our management and uncertainties of outcome that affect the application of these policies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. The accounting policies that we believe are most critical to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations, and that require significant management estimates and judgments, are discussed below. Critical accounting policies are those that have the most impact on the reporting of our financial condition and results of operations and those requiring significant judgments and estimates. We believe that our judgments and estimates are consistently applied and produce financial information that fairly presents our results of operations. Our most critical accounting policies involve our investments in Sponsored REITs and our investments in real property. These policies affect our: 20 o allocation of purchase prices between various asset categories and the related impact on our recognition of rental income and depreciation and amortization expense; o assessment of the carrying values and impairments of long lived assets; o classification of leases; and o revenue recognition in the syndication of Sponsored REITs. Allocation of Purchase Price We have historically allocated the purchase prices of properties to land, buildings and improvements. Each component of purchase price generally has a different useful life. For properties acquired subsequent to June 1, 2001, the effective date of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141 "Business Combinations," we allocate the value of real estate acquired among land, buildings, improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, which may consist of the value of above market and below market leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of tenant relationships. Purchase price allocations and the determination of the useful lives are based on management's estimates. Under some circumstances we may rely upon studies commissioned from independent real estate appraisal firms in determining the purchase price allocations. Purchase price allocated to land and building and improvements is based on management's determination of the relative fair values of these assets assuming the property was vacant. Management determines the fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Purchase price allocated to above market leases is based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. Purchase price allocated to in-place leases and tenant relationships is determined as the excess of (i) the purchase price paid for a property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market rental rates over (ii) the estimated fair value of the property as if vacant. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease values and tenant relationships is based on management's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease; however, the value of tenant relationships has not been separated from in-place lease value because such value and its consequence to amortization expense is immaterial for acquisitions reflected in our financial statements. Factors considered by us in performing these analyses include (i) an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, including real estate taxes, insurance and other operating income and expenses, and (ii) costs to execute similar leases in current market conditions, such as leasing commissions, legal and other related costs. If future acquisitions result in our allocating material amounts to the value of tenant relationships, those amounts would be separately allocated and amortized over the estimated life of the relationships. Depreciation Expense We compute depreciation expense using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of up to 39 years for buildings and improvements, and up to 15 years for personal property. Costs incurred in connection with leasing (primarily tenant improvements and leasing commissions) are capitalized and amortized over the lease period. The allocated cost of land is not depreciated. The capitalized above-market lease values (included in acquired real estate leases in our consolidated balance sheets) are amortized as a reduction to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The value of above or below-market leases is amortized over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. The value of in-place leases, exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases, is also amortized over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease is terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease are written off. Inappropriate allocation of acquisition costs, or incorrect estimates of useful lives, could result in depreciation and amortization expenses which do not appropriately reflect the allocation of our capital expenditures over future periods, as is required by generally accepted accounting principles. 21 Impairment We periodically evaluate our real estate properties for impairment indicators. These indicators may include declining tenant occupancy, weak or declining tenant profitability, cash flow or liquidity, our decision to dispose of an asset before the end of its estimated useful life or legislative, economic or market changes that permanently reduce the value of our investments. If indicators of impairment are present, we evaluate the carrying value of the property by comparing it to its expected future undiscounted cash flows. If the sum of these expected future cash flows is less than the carrying value, we reduce the net carrying value of the property to the present value of these expected future cash flows. This analysis requires us to judge whether indicators of impairment exist and to estimate likely future cash flows. If we misjudge or estimate incorrectly or if future tenant profitability, market or industry factors differ from our expectations, we may record an impairment charge which is inappropriate or fail to record a charge when we should have done so, or the amount of such charges may be inaccurate. Lease Classification Some of our real estate properties are leased on a triple net basis, pursuant to non-cancelable, fixed term, operating leases. Each time we enter a new lease or materially modify an existing lease we evaluate whether it is appropriately classified as a capital lease or as an operating lease. The classification of a lease as capital or operating affects the carrying value of a property, as well as our recognition of rental payments as revenue. These evaluations require us to make estimates of, among other things, the remaining useful life and market value of a property, discount rates and future cash flows. Incorrect assumptions or estimates may result in misclassification of our leases. Revenue Recognition We earn syndication and transaction fees in connection with the syndication of Sponsored REITs. This revenue is recognized pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 66 "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate," and Statement of Position 92-1 "Accounting for Real Estate Syndication Income." Revenue is recognized provided the criteria for sale accounting in SFAS No. 66 are met. Accordingly, we recognize syndication fees related to commissions when shares of the Sponsored REIT are sold and the investor's funds have been transferred from escrow into our account. We recognize transaction fees related to loan commitment and acquisition fees upon an investor closing and the subsequent payment of the Sponsored REIT's loan and fees payable to us. Other transaction fees are recognized upon the final closing of the syndication of the Sponsored REIT. Ownership of Stock in a Sponsored REIT Common stock investments in Sponsored REITs are consolidated while the entity is controlled by the Company. Following the commencement of syndication the Company exercises influence over, but does not control these entities and investments are accounted for using the equity method. Once under the equity method of accounting, our cost basis is adjusted by its share of the Sponsored REITs' earnings, if any, prior to completion of the syndication. Equity in losses of Sponsored REITs is not recognized to the extent that the investment balance would become negative. Distributions received are recognized as income once the investment balance is reduced to zero, unless there is an asset held for syndication from the Sponsored REIT entity. Equity in losses or distributions received in excess of investment is recorded as an adjustment to the carrying value of the asset held for syndication. We recognize our share of the operations during the period we consolidate and when the equity method is appropriate, as opposed to classifying the Sponsored REITs as discontinued operations, because we earn an ongoing asset and/or property management fee from Sponsored REITs. These ongoing fees, in addition to the influence that we exercise over the Sponsored REIT, constitute a continuing involvement between the Company and the Sponsored REIT and preclude treatment as discontinued operations. We have acquired a preferred stock interest in two Sponsored REITs. As a result of our common stock interest and our preferred stock interest in these two Sponsored REITs, we exercise influence over, but do not control these entities. These preferred share investments are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting our cost basis is adjusted by our share of the Sponsored REITs' operations and distributions received are recognized as income. We also agreed to vote our shares in any matter presented to a vote by the stockholders of these Sponsored REITs in the same proportion as shares voted by other stockholders of the Sponsored REITs. 22 These policies involve significant judgments made based upon our experience, including judgments about current valuations, ultimate realizable value, estimated useful lives, salvage or residual value, the ability of our tenants to perform their obligations to us, current and future economic conditions and competitive factors in the markets in which our properties are located. Recent declines in our occupancy percentages at some of our properties reflect current economic conditions and competition. Competition, economic conditions and other factors may cause additional occupancy declines in the future. In the future we may need to revise our carrying value assessments to incorporate information which is not now known and such revisions could increase or decrease our depreciation expense related to properties we own, result in the classification of our leases as other than operating leases or decrease the carrying values of our assets. Recent Accounting Standards In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have material impact on the Company's financial position, operations or cash flow. In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have material impact on the Company's financial position, operations or cash flow. In June 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") regarding EITF No. 05-6, "Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements." The guidance requires that leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination, or purchased subsequent to the inception of a lease, be amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes renewals that are reasonably assured at the date of the business combination or purchase. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The Company has adopted EITF 05-6, which did not materially impact the Company's results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 ("FIN 47"). FIN 47 clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in FASB Statement 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and (or) method of settlement. Thus, the timing and (or) method of settlement may be conditional on a future event. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 was effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. The adoption of FIN 47 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 23 Results of Operations We operate in two business segments: Real Estate Operations and Investment Banking/Investment Services. We consider contribution from each segment in evaluating performance. Contribution includes revenue from each segment, less related expenses such as rental property operating expenses, depreciation and amortization, commissions and interest income and expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses arise primarily from corporate related expenses and costs associated with our headquarters in Wakefield, Massachusetts where both business segments are managed and can shift between the segments depending on the level of activity in each segment and other factors. Some of the more significant factors include: o Increases and decreases in the number of owned properties in our real estate portfolio, and the related impact of transactions such as direct acquisition and disposition of real estate assets; o Increases and decreases in the number of Sponsored REITs, which are managed by the REIT, and the related impact of creating the Sponsored REITs; o Trends in the level of syndication proceeds in our investment banking segment; and o Increases and decreases in the level of management time related to each of our segments. As a result of these factors, we compare the total selling, general and administrative expenses from period-to-period as we believe it more meaningful than comparison of allocated expenses to each segment. 24 The following table shows each segment for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

25 Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2006 to the year ended December 31, 2005 The real estate segment includes operating results of properties held in our real estate portfolio, commitment fee income earned on real estate loans and development fees earned for services provided. During 2005 we increased the real estate portfolio by four properties from the merger of the 2005 Target REITs and two properties by acquisitions completed during the year. We also sold six properties in the second half of 2005 and reached an agreement to sell another property, which closed in the second quarter of 2006. As a result, as of December 31, 2005 we operated 27 properties and had one property held for sale. During 2006 we acquired the five 2006 Target REITs by merger, acquired three additional properties with cash, sold six properties and reached an agreement to sell another property, which closed on January 31, 2007. As a result, as of December 31, 2006 we operated 29 properties and had one property held for sale. Acquisitions, Mergers and Dispositions: In February 24, 2005 we acquired one commercial property in Colorado, on April 30, 2005 we completed the acquisition by merger of the four 2005 Target REITs, and in July 6, 2005 we acquired one commercial property in Indiana. On February 24, 2006 we acquired one commercial property in Texas, on April 30, 2006 we completed the acquisition by merger of the five 2006 Target REITs, on June 27, 2006 we acquired a commercial property in Georgia and on December 21, 2006 we acquired a commercial property in Broomfield, Colorado. The results of operations for each of the acquired or merged properties are included in our operating results as of their respective purchase or merger dates. Increases in rental revenues and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the same periods in 2005 are primarily a result of the timing of these acquisitions and subsequent contribution of these acquired properties. The operating results of the twelve properties sold and the property held for sale were classified as discontinued operations in our financial statements for all periods presented. Sales of Real Estate: The sales of real estate in 2006 included the following. On May 24, 2006 we sold an apartment building in Katy, Texas, and on May 31, 2006 we sold two commercial properties, one in Santa Clara, California and another in Fairfax, Virginia. On August 9, 2006 we sold a commercial property in Peabody, Massachusetts, on November 16, 2006 we sold a commercial property in Herndon, Virginia and on December 21, 2006 we sold a commercial property in North Andover, Massachusetts. As of December 31, 2006, we classified a property in Greenville, South Carolina as held-for-sale, which was sold on January 31, 2007. Investment Banking: Our investment banking/investment services segment completed the syndication of two Sponsored REITs with total gross proceeds of $170.2 million in 2006 compared to three Sponsored REITs with total gross proceeds of $138.8 million in 2005. During the year ended December 31, 2004 we completed eight Sponsored REITs with total gross proceeds of $208.2 million. The $31.4 million increase in 2006 reversed the trend of declines noted in 2005, which had been attributable to difficulty in finding properties that met our investment criteria, and is discussed above in "Trends and Uncertainties - Investment Banking/Investment Services." Revenues and expenses for investment banking/investment services are directly related to the gross proceeds of these syndications. Overview Total revenues increased $36.2 million, or 46.3%, to $114.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to $78.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Total expenses were $73.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $24.5 million, or 50.2%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in revenue and expenses were primarily a result of acquisitions and mergers in our real estate segment discussed above and, to a lesser extent an increase in Investment Banking/Investment Services contribution in 2006 compared to 2005. Each segment is further discussed below. 26 Real Estate Operations Contribution from the real estate segment was $46.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006; an increase of $12.6 million, or 36.7%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase is primarily attributable to: o An increase in real estate operating income of $19.4 million to $56.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $36.8 million for same period in 2005. We define real estate operating income as rental revenues less real estate operating expenses, real estate taxes and insurance. The increase was primarily a result of: o Real estate operating income from our acquisition of the four 2005 Target REITs by merger on April 30, 2005, acquisitions by direct purchase of properties in Colorado during February 2005, Indiana during July 2005, Texas during February 2006, our acquisition of the five 2006 Target REITs by merger on April 30, 2006, the acquisition of a property in Georgia in late June 2006 and the acquisition of a property in Colorado in late December 2006. Real estate operating income from acquisitions is included in current operating income. Collectively, these acquisitions resulted in an increase in real estate operating income for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005; and o Lease termination payments of $7.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, including $4.7 million from a tenant in Illinois, $1.4 million from a tenant in Colorado, $0.8 million from a tenant in California, $0.3 million from a tenant in Indiana and $0.3 million from a tenant in Texas as compared to $1.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2005, including $0.7 million from a tenant at a property in Texas, $0.2 million from a property in California and $0.1 million from a tenant in Massachusetts. o A decrease in interest expense of $0.5 million resulting from a lower average loan balance outstanding for syndications in process during the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. A contributing factor was the use of our cash as a source of funds to finance a portion of the syndication of FSP Phoenix Tower Corp., which was completed on September 22, 2006, and the syndication of FSP 50 South Tenth Street Corp., which was substantially completed on December 28, 2006. The decrease was partially offset by higher interest rates and loan fees in the 2006 period than the 2005 period. o An increase to interest income of $1.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, which was primarily a result of higher interest rates earned on higher average balances of cash, cash equivalents and other investments compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. o A $1.8 million increase in transaction (loan commitment) fees, which was principally a result of the increase in gross syndication proceeds in the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. o An increase in loan interest income of $0.3 million principally as a result of increased loan interest income from interim mortgages made to Sponsored REITs and increases to overall interest rates during the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. These increases were partially offset by: o An increase in depreciation expense of $10.3 million to $22.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to $12.4 million for the same period in 2005. The increase was primarily a result of property acquisitions over the last twelve months. o A decrease in equity in income from non-consolidated REITs of $0.5 million, which was principally a result of the timing of investor closings on the syndications in process during the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the syndications in process during the same period in 2005. Investment Banking/Investment Services Contribution of the investment banking/investment services segment increased $0.6 million to $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 or 12.2% compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to: 27 o An increase in syndication and transaction fee revenues of $1.5 million, which was primarily attributable to the increase in gross syndication proceeds from which these revenues are based. This increase was partially offset by: o An increase in commission expense of $0.5 million, which relates to the increase in gross syndication proceeds; and o An increase in tax expense of $0.4 million to $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 primarily due to a greater taxable income from the investment banking and services business in 2006 compared to 2005. During 2006 and 2005 we had an effective tax rate of 40.3%. We expect an effective tax rate of approximately 40.3% for our taxable REIT subsidiary in the future. Selling, general and administrative expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million to $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, which was primarily a result of compensation and other costs relating to merger, acquisition and disposition activity and monitoring and managing a larger portfolio of REITs. We had approximately 38 and 39 employees, respectively as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 at our headquarters in Wakefield, Massachusetts. Income from continuing operations Contribution from both segments, net of selling, general and administrative expenses for 2006 increased $12.1 million to $44.0 million compared to $31.9 million for the reasons discussed above. Discontinued operations and gain on sale of properties During 2006 we sold six properties, each of which was sold at gains. We also reached an agreement to sell another commercial property, located in Greenville, South Carolina, which closed on January 31, 2007 at a loss. In evaluating the Greenville, South Carolina property, we compared estimated future costs to upgrade and reposition the multi-tenant property and to lease up the building. We concluded that accepting the offer was the more prudent decision because the management time and oversight of such a project outweighed the potential future benefit. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2006, each of the six properties sold and the property classified as held for sale are classified as discontinued operations on our financial statements. Income from discontinued operations of the seven properties was approximately $5.5 million and $12.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2006 we reported $61.4 million as gain on sale of properties including a provision for loss on the property held for sale. For the year ended December 31, 2005 we reported $30.5 million as net gains on sale of properties. 28 During the year ended December 31, 2006 gains on sales of properties and a provision for loss from assets held for sale were recognized and are summarized below:

30 Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2005 to the year ended December 31, 2004 The real estate segment includes operating results of properties held in our real estate portfolio, commitment fee income earned on real estate loans and development fees earned for services provided. During 2004 we operated 28 properties for the full year and there were no acquisitions, mergers or property sales. During 2005 we increased the real estate portfolio by four properties from a merger of the 2005 Target REITs and two properties by acquisitions completed during the year. We also sold six properties in the second half of 2005. During 2006 we sold six properties and reached an agreement to sell another property, which is held for sale and was closed on January 31, 2007. Consequently, as of December 31, 2005 we operated 27 properties, of which 7 were subsequently sold. All of the properties sold or held for sale are classified as discontinued operations in our financial statements for all periods presented. Acquisitions, Mergers and Dispositions: In February 2005 we acquired one commercial property in Colorado, on April 30, 2005 we completed the acquisition by merger of the 2005 Target REITs, and in July 2005 we acquired one commercial property in Indiana. The results of operations for each of the acquired or merged properties are included in our operating results as of their respective purchase date or the merger date of April 30, 2005. Increases in rental revenues and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to 2004 are primarily a result of these acquisitions and the merger. The operating results of the 12 properties sold and the property held for sale were classified as discontinued operations in our financial statements for all periods presented. Sales of Real Estate: The 2006 sales, which affect the 2005 and 2004 presentation included the following. On May 24, 2006 we sold an apartment building in Katy, Texas, and on May 31, 2006 we sold two commercial properties, one in Santa Clara, California and another in Fairfax, Virginia. On August 9, 2006 we sold a commercial property in Peabody, Massachusetts, and on November 16, 2006 we sold a commercial property in Herndon, Virginia and on December 21, 2006 we sold a commercial property in North Andover, Massachusetts. As of December 31, 2006, we classified a property in Greenville, South Carolina as held-for-sale, which was closed on January 31, 2007. The 2005 sales included the following. On July 13, 2005 we sold one vacant office property in California, and on September 16 and September 19, 2005, we sold a residential apartment building in Louisiana and sold by transfer of our interest in our wholly-owned subsidiary that held the property, an office property in Maryland. On September 29, 2005, we recorded a non-monetary exchange gain of $339,000 from contribution of 2.9 acres of developable land in exchange for 8.5 preferred shares (approximately 3.05%) of a Sponsored REIT, FSP Park Ten Development Corp. On October 4 and October 5, 2005 we sold two residential apartment buildings in Houston, Texas, and on December 8, 2005 we sold a commercial property in San Diego, California. Investment Banking: Our investment banking/investment services segment completed the syndication of three Sponsored REITs with total gross proceeds of $138.8 million in 2005 compared to eight Sponsored REITs with total gross proceeds of $208.2 million in 2004. This decrease followed the trend noted in 2004 and 2005 and was attributable to continued difficulty in finding properties that met our investment criteria in 2005, as compared to 2004, and is discussed above in "Trends and Uncertainties - Investment Banking/Investment Services." Revenues and expenses for investment banking/investment services are directly related to the gross proceeds of these syndications. Overview Total revenues increased $8.7 million, or 12.6%, to $78.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to $69.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Total expenses were $48.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $13.7 million, or 39.0%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2004. Each segment is discussed below. 31 Real Estate Operations Contribution from the real estate segment was $34.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $1.4 million, or 4.3%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase is primarily attributable to: o An increase in real estate operating income of $8.7 million to $36.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $28.1 million for the comparable 2004 period. The increase primarily relates to the four properties from the merger of the 2005 Target REITs, which we acquired on April 30, 2005, and two properties acquired in Colorado and Indiana that were described earlier. We define real estate operating income as rental revenues less real estate operating expenses, real estate taxes and insurance; o An increase in management fees and interest income of $1.2 million to $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase is primarily attributable to interest income from Sponsored REITs, which had higher interest rates charged and larger loan balances outstanding for a longer period of time during the comparable periods, and, to a lesser extent increases to management fees earned from Sponsored REITs; o An increase from equity in income from non-consolidated REITs of $0.8 million as a result of Sponsored REITs in syndication with greater net operating income during the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the year ended December 31, 2004; and o An increase in interest income of $0.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2005, which was primarily a result of larger cash balances and higher interest rates on cash and cash equivalents during the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the year ended December 31, 2004. These increases were partially offset by: o A decrease in transaction fee revenues of $3.9 million to $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease was principally caused by the year-over-year decrease in gross syndication proceeds; o An increase in depreciation and amortization of $4.7 million to $12.4 million for year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, which relates to the four properties from the merger of the 2005 Target REITs, which we acquired on April 30, 2005, and two properties acquired in Colorado and Indiana; and o An increase in interest expense of $1.5 million resulting from higher interest rates and larger loan balances outstanding for assets acquired during the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the year ended December 31, 2004. Investment Banking/Investment Services Contribution of the investment banking/investment services segment was $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 26.3%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease was primarily attributable to: o A decrease in syndication fee revenues of $5.1 million, which was primarily attributable to the continued difficulty in finding properties that met our investment criteria in 2005, as compared to 2004, discussed above in "Trends and Uncertainties - Investment Banking/Investment Services". This decrease was partially offset by: o A decrease in commission expense of $2.0 million, which relates to the decrease in gross syndication proceeds; o A decrease in tax expense of $1.3 million to $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 primarily due to a lower taxable income from the investment banking and services business in 2005 compared to 2004. During 2005 we had an effective tax rate of 40.3% compared to 38.7% for 2004. The effective rate in 2004 was lower as a result of an adjustment to the statutory rate to better reflect the benefit of lower tax rates at lower levels of taxable income; and o A decrease in interest income of $10,000 to $36,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to 2004, primarily as a result of lower cash balances and lower gross syndication proceeds in 2005 compared to 2004. 32 Selling, general and administrative expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.7 million to $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, which increase was primarily a result of compensation and other costs relating to monitoring and managing a larger portfolio of REITs and expenses related to having a publicly traded stock, which commenced on June 2, 2005. These increases were partially offset by decreases to professional fees related to an investor related project completed in 2004. We had 39 and 37 employees, respectively as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 at our headquarters in Wakefield, Massachusetts. Income from continuing operations Contribution from both segments, net of selling, general and administrative expenses for 2005 decreased $2.2 million to $31.9 million compared to $34.1 million in 2004 for the reasons discussed above. Discontinued operations and gain on sale of properties During 2006 we sold six properties, each of which was sold at gains. We also reached an agreement to sell another commercial property, located in Greenville, South Carolina, which closed on January 31, 2007 at a loss. These sales affect the 2005 and 2004 presentation, as prior year results from each property are reclassified as discontinued operations. During June 2005 an agreement was reached to sell a property called Blue Ravine, which is located in Folsom, California. The sale was completed on July 13, 2005 and resulted in a loss of approximately $1.1 million. The property had been vacant since mid-2003. The offer to purchase the property was compared to estimated future costs to convert the property from a single tenant to a multi-tenant facility and lease the building. We concluded that accepting the offer was the more prudent decision because the management time and oversight of such a conversion outweighed the potential future benefit. On September 29, 2005, we recorded a non-monetary exchange gain of $0.3 million from contribution of 2.9 acres of developable land we contributed in exchange for 8.5 preferred shares (approximately 3.05%) of a Sponsored REIT, FSP Park Ten Development Corp. ("Park Ten Development"). The appraised value of the land and market value of the stock acquired were used to estimate the sale price, and the gain was recorded net of the Company's interest in Park Ten Development. Also during September 2005 we sold a residential property called Mansions in the Park, which is located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and sold by transfer of our interest in a wholly-owned subsidiary that held an office property called Gateway Crossing, which is located in Columbia, Maryland at gains, which aggregated approximately $14.1 million. During October 2005 we sold two residential properties called Essex House and Gael Apartments, which are located adjacent to each other in Houston, Texas; and in December 2005 we sold an office property called Telecom Business Center in San Diego, California. All of these properties were sold at gains which aggregated approximately $17.2 million. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2005, all of the sold properties and the property classified as held for sale are classified as discontinued operations on our financial statements. Income from discontinued operations of the 13 properties was approximately $12.7 million and $13.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2005 we reported $30.5 million as net gains on sale of properties. During 2004 there were no assets sold. Net Income The resulting net income for the year ending December 31, 2005 was $75.1 million compared to net income of $47.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. 33 Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash and cash equivalents were $70.0 million and $69.7 million at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. This increase of $0.3 million is attributable to $74.9 million provided by operating activities, and $6.5 million provided by investing activities, less $81.1 million used for financing activities. Presentation of our consolidated statements of cash flows combines cash flows from continuing operations with those of discontinued operations. Where significant, cash flows from discontinued operations are discussed below. Management believes that existing cash, cash anticipated to be generated internally by operations, cash anticipated to be generated by the sale of preferred stock in future Sponsored REITs and our line of credit will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Operating Activities The cash provided by our operating activities of $74.9 million, which includes $7.6 million from the discontinued operations from sales of real estate assets and the property held for sale, is primarily attributable to net income of $110.9 million excluding non-cash activity, consisting primarily of the gain on sale of real estate assets net of a provision for loss on a property held for sale of $61.4 million, depreciation and amortization of $32.1 million; less payment of deferred leasing commissions of approximately $5.9 million and uses arising from other current accounts of $0.8 million. Investing Activities Our cash provided by investing activities of $6.5 million is attributable to the proceeds from sale of properties of $173.2 million; plus cash acquired through our merger transaction that was completed on April 30, 2006 of $13.8 million; less uses of $166.2 million for acquisitions and additions to real estate investments and office equipment, which includes $0.3 million in additions made to properties sold during 2006; plus an investment in a certificate of deposit of $5.1 million and an investment in non-consolidated REITs of $4.1 million; plus costs paid related to the merger of $0.8 million; less changes in deposits on real estate assets of $4.3 million. Financing Activities Our cash used by financing activities of $81.1 million is attributable to approximately $81 million of distributions to shareholders and offering costs associated with the merger of $0.1 million. Line of Credit We have a revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks providing for borrowings of up to $150 million. During August 2005 the line of credit was amended and restated, and the maturity date was extended to August 18, 2008. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at either the bank's prime rate (8.25% at December 31, 2006) or a rate equal to LIBOR plus 125 basis points (6.57% at December 31, 2006). There were no borrowings outstanding under the line of credit at December 31, 2006. However, on January 4, 2007 we borrowed the entire $150 million for the purpose of making an interim mortgage loan to a Sponsored REIT, which acquired a property on January 5, 2007. We are in compliance with all bank covenants required by the line of credit. Contingencies We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions (or settlements) may occur, we believe that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. Assets Held for Syndication As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, there were no assets held for syndication. On September 22, 2006 we completed the syndication of FSP Phoenix Tower Corp., and on January 9, 2007 we completed the syndication of FSP 50 South Tenth Street Corp. 34 Assets Held for Sale During 2006 an agreement was reached to sell a commercial property in Greenville, South Carolina at a loss, which was sold on January 31, 2007. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2006 the property is classified as held for sale on the balance sheet at its approximate net sales price. Related Party Transactions During 2006, we completed the syndication of FSP Phoenix Tower Corp. and substantially completed the syndication of FSP 50 South Tenth Street Corp. As part of the syndication of FSP Phoenix Tower Corp., we also purchased 48 shares of Preferred Stock of FSP Phoenix Tower Corp. for approximately $4.1 million, representing approximately a 4.6% interest. We did not enter into any other significant transactions with related parties during 2006. For a discussion of transactions between us and related parties during 2006, see Footnote No. 5 "Related Party Transactions" to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Other Considerations We generally pay the ordinary annual operating expenses of our properties from the rental revenue generated by the properties. For the years ending December 31, 2006 and 2005, the rental income exceeded the expenses for each individual property, with the exception of a property located in Westford, Massachusetts, a property located in Santa Clara, California that was sold on May 31, 2006 and a property located in Folsom, California that was sold on July 13, 2005. The property located in Westford, Massachusetts had a single tenant lease, which expired on October 31, 2004. We have not re-let this property and expect that it will not produce revenue to cover its expenses in the first quarter of 2007. The Westford, Massachusetts property had operating expenses of approximately $238,000 and $293,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company received a restoration and settlement payment from a tenant at the property located in Westford, Massachusetts of $84,000. Operating expenses, net of the restoration and settlement payment were approximately $209,000. The property located in Santa Clara, California had been vacant since October 2005 and had operating expenses of $73,000 for the five month period ending through May 31, 2006 on which date the property was sold. The property located in Folsom, California, which was sold on July 13, 2005, had been vacant since June 2003 and had operating expenses of approximately $103,000 for the period of January 1, 2005 through July 13, 2005. Rental Income Commitments Our commercial real estate operations include the leasing of office buildings and industrial properties subject to leases with terms greater than one year. The leases thereon expire at various dates through 2015. Approximate future minimum rental income from non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2006 is: Year ended (in thousands) December 31, ===================================== 2007 $ 72,866 2008 68,585 2009 59,106 2010 44,996 2011 34,508 Thereafter (2012-2016) 87,195 ---------- $ 367,256 ========== 35 Contractual Obligations The following table sets forth our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2006.

The operating leases in the table above consist of our lease of corporate office space, which was amended in 2003. The lease includes a base annual rent and additional rent for our share of taxes and operating costs. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Investments in Sponsored REITs As part of our business model we organize single-purpose entities that own real estate, purchases of which are financed through the private placement of equity in those entities, typically through syndication. We call these entities Sponsored REITs, and they are operated in a manner intended to qualify as real estate investment trusts. We earn fees related to the sale of preferred stock in the Sponsored REITs in these syndications. The Sponsored REITs issue both common stock and preferred stock. The common stock is owned solely by FSP Corp. Generally the preferred stock is owned by unaffiliated investors, however, on three occasions we acquired an interest in preferred shares of three Sponsored REITs. In addition, two non-management directors of FSP Corp., have from time to time invested in Sponsored REITs and may do so again in the future. Following consummation of the offerings, the preferred stockholders in each of the Sponsored REITs are entitled to 100% of the Sponsored REIT's cash distributions. Subsequent to the completion of the offering of preferred shares, except for the preferred stock we own, we do not share in any of a Sponsored REIT's earnings, or any related dividend, and the common stock ownership interests have virtually no economic benefit or risk. Prior to the completion of the offering of preferred shares, we share in a Sponsored REIT's earnings (and related dividends) to the extent of our ownership interest in the Sponsored REIT. As a common stockholder, upon completion of the syndication, we have no rights to the Sponsored REIT's earnings or any related cash distributions. However, upon liquidation of a Sponsored REIT, we are entitled to our percentage interest in any proceeds remaining after the preferred stockholders have recovered their investment. Our percentage interest in each Sponsored REIT is less than 0.1%. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Sponsored REIT's preferred stockholders is required for any actions involving merger, sale of property, amendment to charter or issuance of additional capital stock. In addition, all of the Sponsored REITs allow the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding preferred shares to remove (without cause) and replace one or more members of that Sponsored REIT's board of directors. Common stock investments in Sponsored REITs are consolidated while the entity is controlled by us. Following the commencement of syndication we exercise influence over, but do not control these entities and investments are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, our cost basis is adjusted by its share of the Sponsored REITs' earnings, if any, prior to completion of the syndication. Equity in losses of Sponsored REITs is not recognized to the extent that the investment balance would become negative and distributions received are recognized as income once the investment balance is reduced to zero, unless there are assets held for syndication from the Sponsored REIT entity. Equity in losses or distributions received in excess of investment is recorded as an adjustment to the carrying value of the asset held for syndication. 36 We have acquired a preferred stock interest in three Sponsored REITs, one of which was included in the 2006 Target REITs that the Company acquired by merger on April 30, 2006, that was accounted for as a purchase, and the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair value. As a result of our common stock interest and our preferred stock interest in the remaining two Sponsored REITs, we exercise influence over, but do not control these entities. These preferred share investments are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting our cost basis is adjusted by our share of the Sponsored REITs' operations and distributions received are recognized as income. We also agreed to vote our shares in any matter presented to a vote by the stockholders of these Sponsored REITs in the same proportion as shares voted by other stockholders of the Sponsored REITs. These investments are included in our financial statements. At December 31, 2006, we held a common stock interest in 10 Sponsored REITs nine of which were fully syndicated, and one was substantially syndicated, from which we no longer share economic benefit or risk. At December 31, 2005, we held a common stock interest in 13 Sponsored REITs, all of which were fully syndicated and from which we no longer share economic benefit or risk. At December 31, 2004, we held a common stock interest in 15 Sponsored REITs, of which 13 were fully syndicated and we no longer shared economic benefit or risk. The value of the two entities which were not fully syndicated was approximately $59.2 million and was shown on the consolidated balance sheets as assets held for syndication. The table below shows our income and expenses from Sponsored REITs. Management fees of $2,000, $1,000, and $102,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively; and interest expense related to the Company's mortgage on properties is eliminated in consolidation. Year Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2006 2005 2004 ---- ---- ---- Operating Data: Rental revenues $ 1,416 $ 146 $3,772 Operating and maintenance expenses 636 63 1,439 Depreciation and amortization 326 36 584 Interest expense 597 64 922 Interest income 22 1 25 --------------------------- $ (121) $ (16) $ 852 =========================== During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, we recorded equity in earnings of Sponsored REITs following the commencement of syndication of $664,000, $1,149,000 and $390,000, respectively. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. We were not a party to any derivative financial instruments at or during the year ended December 31, 2006. We borrow from time-to-time on our line of credit. These borrowings bear interest at the bank's base rate (8.25% at December 31, 2006) or at LIBOR plus 125 basis points (6.57% at December 31, 2006), as elected by us when requesting funds as defined. As of December 31, 2006 there were no amounts outstanding under the line of credit. We have used funds drawn on our line of credit for the purpose of making interim mortgage loans to Sponsored REITs and for interim financing of acquisitions. Generally interim mortgage loans bear interest at the same variable rate payable by us under our line of credit. We therefore believe that we have mitigated our interest rate risk with respect to our borrowings for interim mortgage loans. Historically we have satisfied obligations arising from interim financing of acquisitions through cash or sale of properties in our portfolio, so we believe that we can mitigate interest rate risk with respect to borrowings for interim financing of acquisitions as well. 37 Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The information required by this item is included elsewhere herein and incorporated herein by reference. Reference is made to the Index to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 15 of Part IV. Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. Not applicable. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2006. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2006, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the Company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: o Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; o Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and o Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 38 The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, the Company's management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria. Management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included elsewhere herein. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

F-1 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Franklin Street Properties Corp.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Franklin Street Properties Corp. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Franklin Street Properties Corp. at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein. We also have audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Franklin Street Properties Corp.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based upon criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 20, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Boston, Massachusetts February 20, 2007 F-2 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Franklin Street Properties Corp.: We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Franklin Street Properties Corp. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 based on criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Franklin Street Properties Corp.'s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, management's assessment that Franklin Street Properties Corp. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Franklin Street Properties Corp. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the 2006 consolidated financial statements of Franklin Street Properties Corp. and our report dated February 20, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Boston, Massachusetts February 20, 2007 F-3 Franklin Street Properties Corp.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. F-9 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 1. Organization Franklin Street Properties Corp. ("FSP Corp." or the "Company"), holds, directly and indirectly, 100% of the interest in FSP Investments LLC, FSP Property Management LLC, and FSP Holdings LLC. The Company also has a non-controlling common stock interest in 10 corporations organized to operate as real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). On May 30, 2003, the shareholders of the Company approved the Company's acquisition by merger of 13 REITs (the "2003 Target REITs"). The mergers were effective June 1, 2003 and, as a result, the Company issued 25,000,091 shares in a tax-free exchange for all the outstanding preferred shares of the 2003 Target REITs. The mergers were accounted for as a purchase, and the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair value. On April 30, 2005, the Company acquired four real estate investment trusts (the "2005 Target REITs") by the merger of the four 2005 Target REITs with and into four of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries. The merger was effective April 30, 2005 and, as a result, the Company issued 10,894,994 shares in a tax-free exchange for all outstanding preferred shares of the 2005 Target REITs. The mergers were accounted for as a purchase and the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair value. On April 30, 2006, the Company acquired five real estate investment trusts (the "2006 Target REITs"), by the merger of the five 2006 Target REITs with and into five of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries. The merger was effective April 30, 2006 and, as a result, the Company issued 10,971,697 shares in a tax-free exchange for all outstanding preferred shares of the 2006 Target REITs. The mergers were accounted for as a purchase and the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair value. The Company operates in two business segments: real estate operations and investment banking/investment services. FSP Investments provides real estate investment and broker/dealer services. FSP Investments' services include: (i) the organization of REIT entities (the "Sponsored REITs"), which are syndicated through private placements; (ii) sourcing of the acquisition of real estate on behalf of the Sponsored REITs; and (iii) the sale of preferred stock in Sponsored REITs. FSP Property Management provides asset management and property management services for the Sponsored REITs. 2. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Estimates and Assumptions The Company prepares its financial statements and related notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Investments in Sponsored REITs Common stock investments in Sponsored REITs are consolidated while the entity is controlled by the Company. Following the commencement of syndication the Company exercises influence over, but does not control these entities and investments are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company's cost basis is adjusted by its share of the Sponsored REITs' earnings, if any, prior to completion of the syndication. Equity in losses of Sponsored REITs is not recognized to the extent that the investment balance would become negative. Distributions received are recognized as income once the investment balance is reduced to zero, unless there is a loan receivable from the Sponsored REIT entity. Equity in losses or distributions received in excess of common stock investment is recorded as an adjustment up to the carrying value of the assets held for syndication. Subsequent to the completion of the syndication of preferred shares, the Company does not share in any of the Sponsored REITs' earnings, or any related distribution, as a result of its common stock ownership. F-10 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) On September 22, 2006 the Company purchased 48 preferred shares (approximately 4.6%) of a Sponsored REIT, FSP Phoenix Tower Corp. ("Phoenix Tower"), for $4,116,000. The Company agreed to vote its shares in any matter presented to a vote by the stockholders of Phoenix Tower in the same proportion as shares voted by other stockholders of the Company. The investment in Phoenix Tower is accounted for under the equity method. Prior to April 2006, the Company held a preferred stock investment in FSP Blue Lagoon Drive Corp. ("Blue Lagoon"), which was one of the 2006 Target REITs acquired by merger on April 30, 2006, and accordingly was eliminated when recording the merger. The Company initially purchased 49.25 preferred shares (approximately 8.2%) of Blue Lagoon on January 30, 2004, and agreed to vote its shares in any matter presented to a vote by the stockholders of Blue Lagoon in the same proportion as shares voted by other stockholders of the Company. The investment in Blue Lagoon was accounted for under the equity method. On September 29, 2005, the Company acquired 8.5 preferred shares (approximately 3.05%) of a Sponsored REIT, FSP Park Ten Development Corp. ("Park Ten Development"), in exchange for the contribution of 2.9 acres of developable land. The Company agreed to vote its shares in any matter presented to a vote by the stockholders of Park Ten Development in the same proportion as shares voted by other stockholders of the Company. The Company accounts for its investment in Park Ten Development under the equity method. Real Estate and Depreciation Real estate assets are stated at the lower of cost, less accumulated depreciation, or fair value, as appropriate, which in the opinion of management is not in excess of an individual property's estimated undiscounted cash flows. Costs related to property acquisition and improvements are capitalized. Typical capital items include new roofs, site improvements, various exterior building improvements and major interior renovations. Costs incurred in connection with leasing (primarily tenant improvements and leasing commissions) are capitalized and amortized over the lease period. Routine replacements and ordinary maintenance and repairs that do not extend the life of the asset are expensed as incurred. Typical expense items include interior painting, landscaping, minor carpet replacements and residential appliances. Funding for repairs and maintenance items typically is provided by cash flows from operating activities. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives as follows: Category Years -------- ----- Commercial Buildings 39 Building improvements 15-39 Furniture and equipment 5-7 The Company periodically reviews its properties to determine if their carrying amounts will be recovered from future operating cash flows. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. Since cash flows are considered on an undiscounted basis in the analysis that the Company conducts to determine whether an asset has been impaired, the Company's strategy of holding properties over the long term directly decreases the likelihood of recording an impairment loss. If the Company's strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized. If the Company determines that impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value. F-11 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Acquired Real Estate Leases and Amortization The Company accounts for leases acquired via direct purchase, or as a result of a merger, of real estate assets under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141. "Business Combinations". Accordingly, the Company recorded a value relating to the leases acquired as a result of the acquisition by merger of five, four and thirteen Sponsored REITs in 2006, 2005 and 2003, respectively and three direct acquisitions in 2006 and two direct acquisitions in 2005. Acquired real estate leases represent costs associated with acquiring an in-place lease (i.e., the market cost to execute a similar lease, including leasing commission, legal, vacancy and other related costs) and the value relating to leases with rents above the market rate. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the leases, which range from 17 months to 127 months. Amortization related to costs associated with acquiring an in-place lease is included in depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of income. Amortization related to leases with rents above the market rate is included with rental revenue in the consolidated statements of income. The estimated annual amortization expense for the five years succeeding December 31, 2006 are as follows: (in thousands) -------------- 2007 $ 11,474 2008 10,363 2009 8,135 2010 5,453 2011 3,070 2012 and thereafter 4,672 Acquired Unfavorable Real Estate Leases and Amortization The Company accounts for leases acquired via direct purchase, or as a result of a merger, of real estate assets under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141. "Business Combinations". Accordingly, the Company recorded a value relating to the leases acquired as a result of the acquisition by merger of five and four Sponsored REITs in 2006 and 2005, respectively and three direct acquisitions in 2006 and two direct acquisitions in 2005. Acquired unfavorable real estate leases represent the value relating to leases with rents below the market rate. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the leases, which range from 20 months to 147 months. Amortization related to leases with rents below the market rate is included with rental revenue in the consolidated statements of income. The estimated annual amortization expense for the five years succeeding December 31, 2006 are as follows: (in thousands) -------------- 2007 $ 671 2008 586 2009 506 2010 433 2011 366 2012 and thereafter 1,131 Discontinued Operations The Company accounts for properties as held for sale under the provisions of SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which typically occurs upon the execution of a purchase and sale agreement and belief by management that the sale or disposition is probable of occurrence within one year. Upon determining that a property is held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the property and reflects the property in its consolidated balance sheets at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less the cost to sell. The Company presents property related to discontinued operations on its consolidated balance sheets as "Assets held for sale" on a comparative basis. The Company reports the results of operations of its properties classified as discontinued operations in its statements of income if no significant continuing involvement exists after the sale or disposition. F-12 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had highly liquid debt instruments of United States Government Agencies and/or Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) with a carrying value of $2.0 million and $50.7 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The aggregate fair value of these instruments was $2.0 million and $50.8 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Gross unrecognized holding gains on these instruments were $13,000 and $78,000 as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Also included in cash equivalents is $5.1 million at December 31, 2005, of cash held in a certificate of deposit with an original maturity date exceeding three months. There were no prepayment penalties if the Company withdrew these funds prior to maturity. Certificate of Deposit Investment in certificate of deposit consists of investments the Company has the ability and intent to hold until their maturity. As of December 31, 2006 the Company held a certificate of deposit with an original maturity of six months at a carrying value of $5.1 million with an annual interest rate of 5% that matures on April 11, 2007. The Company believes the aggregate fair value is approximately the same as its carrying value. Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of tenant security deposits, which are required by law in some states and escrows arising from property sales. Tenant security deposits are refunded when tenants vacate provided that the tenant has not damaged the property. Cash held in escrow is paid when the related issue is resolved. Tenant Rent Receivables Tenant rent receivables, which include receivables from assets held-for-sale, are expected to be collected within one year. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its estimate of a tenant's ability to make future rent payments. The computation of this allowance is based in part on the tenants' payment history and current credit status. Concentration of Credit Risks Cash and cash equivalents are financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk. The Company maintains its cash balances principally in two banks which the Company believes to be creditworthy. The Company periodically assesses the financial condition of the banks and believes that the risk of loss is minimal. Cash balances held with various financial institutions frequently exceed the insurance limit of $100,000 provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Financial Instruments The Company estimates that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and the bank note payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term maturity and prevailing interest rates. Straight-line Rent Receivable Certain leases provide for fixed rent increases over the life of the lease. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the related lease term; however, billings by the Company are based on required minimum rentals in accordance with the lease agreements. Straight-line rent receivable, which is the cumulative revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed by the Company, is $4,720,000 and $5,765,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its estimate of a tenant's ability to make future rent payments. The computation of this allowance is based in part on the tenants' payment history and current credit status. During 2005 the Company reduced its allowance by $297,000 to $163,000 based on such analysis. The reserve balance was not changed in 2006. F-13 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Deferred Leasing Commissions Deferred leasing commissions represent direct and incremental external leasing costs incurred in the leasing of commercial space. These costs are capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related lease agreements. Amortization expense was approximately $674,000, $430,000 and $287,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The estimated annual amortization for the five years following December 31, 2006 is as follows: (in thousands) -------------- 2007 $ 1,050 2008 968 2009 918 2010 897 2011 771 2012 and thereafter 2,650 Revenue Recognition Rental Revenue - Rental revenue includes income from leases, certain reimbursable expenses, straight-line rent adjustments and other income associated with renting the property. A summary of rental revenue is shown in the following table: Year Ending (in thousands) December 31, ----------------------------------- 2006 2005 2004 ================================== Income from leases $ 78,902 $ 49,634 $ 34,782 Reimbursable expenses 17,125 10,806 5,834 Straight-line rent adjustment 1,185 1,328 593 Amortization of favorable leases (6,942) (4,075) -- Other -- -- -- ---------------------------------- $ 90,270 $ 57,693 $ 41,209 ================================== Rental Revenue, Commercial Properties -- The Company has retained substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the Company's commercial properties and accounts for its leases as operating leases. Rental income from leases, which includes rent concessions (including free rent and tenant improvement allowances) and scheduled increases in rental rates during the lease term, is recognized on a straight-line basis. The Company does not have any percentage rent arrangements with its commercial property tenants. Reimbursable costs are included in rental income in the period earned. The Company follows the requirements for profit recognition as set forth by SFAS No. 66 "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate" and Statement of Position 92-1 "Accounting for Real Estate Syndication Income". Syndication Fees -- Syndication fees ranging from 4% to 8% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of securities in Sponsored REITs are generally recognized upon an investor closing; at that time the Company has provided all required services, the fee is fixed and collected, and no further contingencies exist. Commission expense ranging from 2% to 4% of the gross offering proceeds is recorded in the period the related syndication fee is earned. There is typically more than one investor closing in the syndication of a Sponsored REIT. Transaction Fees -- Transaction fees relating to loan commitment fees and acquisition fees are recognized upon an investor closing and the subsequent payment of the Sponsored REIT's loan to the Company. Development fees are recognized upon an investor closing and once the service has been provided. Fees related to organizational, offering and other expenditures are recognized upon the final investor closing of the Sponsored REIT. The final investor closing is the last admittance of investors into a Sponsored REIT; at that time, required funds have been received from the investors and charges relating to the syndication have been paid or accrued. Other Other income, including property and asset management fees, is recognized when the related services are performed and the earnings process is complete. F-14 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Income Taxes Taxes on income for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 represent taxes incurred by FSP Investments, which is a taxable REIT subsidiary. Net Income Per Share Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares were exercised or converted into shares. There were no potential dilutive shares outstanding at December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004. The denominator used for calculating basic and diluted net income per share was 67,159,000, 56,847,000, and 49,628,000 for the years ending December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Recent Accounting Standards In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have material impact on the Company's financial position, operations or cash flow. In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have material impact on the Company's financial position, operations or cash flow. In June 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") regarding EITF No. 05-6, "Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements." The guidance requires that leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination, or purchased subsequent to the inception of a lease, be amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes renewals that are reasonably assured at the date of the business combination or purchase. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The Company has adopted EITF 05-6, which did not materially impact the Company's results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 ("FIN 47"). FIN 47 clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in FASB Statement 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and (or) method of settlement. Thus, the timing and (or) method of settlement may be conditional on a future event. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 was effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. The adoption of FIN 47 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Reclassifications Certain balances in the 2005 and 2004 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to 2006 presentation. The reclassifications primarily were related to disposition of six properties sold in 2006 and one asset held for sale as of December 31, 2006, which are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. These reclassifications changed rental revenues, operating and maintenance expenses, depreciation and amortization, other income and the related assets. There was no change to net income for any period presented as a result of these reclassifications. F-15 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 3. Business Segments The Company operates in two business segments: real estate operations (including real estate leasing, interim acquisition financing, development services and asset/property management) and investment banking/investment services (including real estate acquisition and broker/dealer services). The Company has identified these segments because this information is the basis upon which management makes decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the "Significant Accounting Policies". The Company's operations are located in the United States of America. The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") as management believes that AFFO represents the most accurate measure of the reportable segment's activity and is the basis for distributions paid to equity holders. The Company defines AFFO as: net income as computed in accordance with GAAP; excluding gains or losses on the sale of real estate and non-cash income from Sponsored REITs; plus certain non-cash items included in the computation of net income (depreciation and amortization and straight-line rent adjustments); plus distributions received from Sponsored REITs; plus the net proceeds from the sale of land. Depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on the sale of real estate, and straight-line rents are an adjustment to AFFO, as these are non-cash items included in net income. AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of the Company's financial performance, nor as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company's needs. Other real estate companies may define AFFO in a different manner.

4. Significant Acquisitions On April 30, 2006, the Company issued 10,971,697 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, in exchange for all of the outstanding preferred stock of the 2006 Target REITs (other than the shares of preferred stock in Blue Lagoon held by the Company, which were cancelled) and paid approximately $12,000 in lieu of fractional shares. The results of operations for each 2006 Target REIT have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since May 1, 2006. The aggregate purchase price for the 2006 Target REITs was approximately $235,384,000. On June 27, 2006 the Company acquired a fifteen-story Class A office property located at 3625 Cumberland Boulevard in Atlanta, Georgia ("One Overton Park") for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $85,281,000. With respect to the acquisition of each 2006 Target REIT, the excess of the purchase price of the property over the historical cost of the property was allocated to real estate investments and leases, including lease origination costs. With respect to the acquisition of One Overton Park, the purchase price of the property was allocated to real estate investments and leases, including lease origination costs. Lease origination costs represent the value associated with acquiring an in-place lease (i.e. the market cost to execute a similar lease, including leasing commission, legal, vacancy, and other related costs). The value assigned to buildings approximates their replacement cost; the value assigned to land approximates its appraised value; and the value assigned to leases approximates their fair value. Other assets and liabilities are recorded at their historical costs, which approximates fair value. F-18 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 4.

Related Party Transactions Investment in Sponsored REITs At December 31, 2006, we held an interest in 10 Sponsored REITs, of which nine were fully syndicated and one was substantially syndicated. Phoenix Tower was syndicated in September 2006 and the Company purchased a preferred stock investment in it. At December 31, 2005, we held an interest in 13 Sponsored REITs, all of which were fully syndicated. Park Ten Development was syndicated in September 2005 and the Company exchanged land for a preferred stock investment in it. At December 31, 2004, the Company held an interest in 15 Sponsored REITs.

Following the commencement of syndication the Company exercises influence over, but does not control these entities, and investments are accounted for using the equity method. Equity in earnings of Blue Lagoon is derived from the Company's preferred stock investment in the entity. In January 2004 the Company purchased 49.25 preferred shares or 8.22% of Blue Lagoon for $4,248,000 (which represented $4,925,000 at the offering price net of commissions of $394,000 and loan fees of $283,000 that were excluded). Blue Lagoon was one of the 2006 Target REITs that the Company acquired by merger on April 30, 2006 at which time the preferred stock investment was canceled and the merger was accounted for as a purchase, and the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair value. Equity in earnings of Park Ten Development is derived from the Company's preferred stock investment in the entity. In September 2005 the Company acquired 8.5 preferred shares or 3.05% of Park Ten Development via a non-monetary exchange of land valued at $850,000. The Sponsored REIT was syndicated and recently completed the process of constructing a commercial property on the land. Equity in earnings of Phoenix Tower is derived from the Company's preferred stock investment in the entity. In September 2006 the Company purchased 48 preferred shares or 4.6% of the outstanding preferred shares of Phoenix Tower for $4,116,000 (which represented $4,800,000 at the offering price net of commissions of $384,000 and fees of $300,000 that were excluded).

The Company's business model for growth includes the potential acquisition by merger in the future of Sponsored REITs. However, the Company has no legal or any other enforceable obligation to acquire or to offer to acquire any Sponsored REIT. In addition, any offer (and the related terms and conditions) that might be made in the future to acquire any Sponsored REIT would require the approval of the boards of directors of the Company and the Sponsored REIT and the approval of the shareholders of the Sponsored REIT. The operating data below for 2006 includes operations of the 10 Sponsored REITs the Company held an interest in as of December 31, 2006 and five 2006 Target REITs from January through April 30, 2006.

Bank Note Payable The Company has a revolving line of credit agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with a group of banks providing for borrowings at the Company's election of up to $150,000,000. Borrowings under the Loan Agreement bear interest at either the bank's base rate (8.25% at December 31, 2006) or at a LIBOR plus 125 basis points (6.57% at December 31, 2006), as defined. There was no balance outstanding at December 31, 2006 or 2005. The weighted average interest rate on amounts outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately 6.39% and 5.35%, respectively.

The Company was in compliance with the Loan Agreement's financial covenants as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. Borrowings under the Loan Agreement mature on August 18, 2008. 7. Stockholders' Equity Equity-Based Compensation On May 20, 2002, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan is an equity-based incentive compensation plan, and provides for the grants of up to a maximum of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock ("Awards"). All of the Company's employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors are eligible to be granted awards. Awards under the Plan are made at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors, and have no vesting requirements. Upon granting an Award, the Company will recognize compensation cost equal to the fair value of the Company's common stock, as determined by the Company's Board of Directors, on the date of the grant. The Company did not issue any shares under the Plan in 2006. In March 2005 and 2004 the Company issued 1,750 and 9,824 shares to certain officers and employees under the Plan with an estimated value of $31,000 and $161,000, respectively.

During 2006 there were no repurchases or issuances. As a result, as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 there were 731,898 Treasury shares. 8. Federal Income Tax Reporting General The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). As a REIT, the Company generally is entitled to a tax deduction for distributions paid to its shareholders, thereby effectively subjecting the distributed net income of the Company to taxation at the shareholder level only. The Company must comply with a variety of restrictions to maintain its status as a REIT. These restrictions include the type of income it can earn, the type of assets it can hold, the number of shareholders it can have and the concentration of their ownership, and the amount of the Company's taxable income that must be distributed annually. One such restriction is that the Company generally cannot own more than 10% of the voting power or value of the securities of any one issuer unless the issuer is itself a REIT or a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS"). In the case of TRSs, the Company's ownership of securities in all TRSs generally cannot exceed 20% of the value of all of the Company's assets and, when considered together with other non-real estate assets, cannot exceed 25% of the value of all of the Company's assets. Effective January 1, 2002, a subsidiary of the Company, FSP Investments, became a TRS. As a result, FSP Investments operates as a taxable corporation under the Code and has accounted for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Taxes are provided when FSP Investments has net profits for both financial statement and income tax purposes. Income taxes are recorded based on the future tax effects of the difference between the tax and financial reporting bases of the Company's assets and liabilities. In estimating future tax consequences, potential future events are considered except for potential changes in income tax law or in rates. Net operating losses Section 382 of the Code restricts a corporation's ability to use net operating losses ("NOLs") to offset future taxable income following certain "ownership changes." Such an ownership change occurred with the June 2003 merger and accordingly a portion of the NOLs incurred by the Sponsored REITs available for use by the Company in any particular future taxable year will be limited. To the F-23 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 8. Federal Income Tax Reporting (continued) extent that the Company does not utilize the full amount of the annual NOLs limit, the unused amount may be carried forward to offset taxable income in future years. NOLs expire 20 years after the year in which they arise, and the last of the Company's NOLs will expire in 2023. A valuation allowance is provided for the full amount of the NOLs as the realization of any tax benefits from such NOLs is not assured. In 2005, the Company used $2,595,000 of NOLs in connection with amending a prior year tax return. In 2006 the Company used $3,722,000 of NOLs in connection with its 2005 tax return. The gross amount of NOLs available to the Company were $10,953,000, $8,813,000 and 7,918,000 as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Tax Rates The income tax expense reflected in the consolidated statement of income relates only to the TRS. The expense differs from the amounts computed by applying the Federal statutory rate to income before taxes as follows:
For the years ended December 31, ------------------------------------------------- (Dollars in thousands) 2006 2005 2004 ---- ---- ---- Federal income tax expense at statutory rate $ 709 34.0% $ 356 34.0% $ 1,516 34.0% Increase (decrease) in taxes resulting from: State income taxes, net of federal impact 130 6.3% 66 6.3% 280 6.3% Other -- -- -- -- (71) (1.6)% ----- ---- ----- ---- ------- ---- Taxes on income $ 839 40.3% $ 422 40.3% $ 1,725 38.7% ===== ==== ===== ==== ======= ====
For the year ended December 31, 2004, "Other" consists of an adjustment to the statutory rate to better reflect the benefit of lower tax rates at lower levels of taxable income. Taxes on income are a current tax expense. No deferred income taxes were provided as there were no material temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the TRS. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company's net tax basis of its real estate assets is less than the amount set forth in the Company's consolidated balance sheets by $94,754,000, and $14,035,000, respectively.

F-25 Franklin Street Properties Corp. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 10. Retirement Plan In 2006, the Company established a 401(k) plan to cover eligible employees, which permits deferral of up to $15,000 per year (indexed for inflation) into the 401(k) plan, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. Employee's elective deferrals are immediately vested upon contribution to the 401(k) plan. The Company matches employee contributions to the 401(k) plan dollar for dollar up to 3% of each employee's annual compensation up to $200,000. In addition, we may elect to make an annual discretionary profit-sharing contribution. The Company's total contribution under the 401(k) plan amounted to $133,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. In 1999, the Company began a retirement savings plan for eligible employees, which was replaced by the 401(k) plan in 2006. Under the plan, the Company annually matched participant contributions up to the maximum allowed by tax regulations. The Company's total contribution under the plan amounted to approximately $158,000 and $160,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. 11. Discontinued Operations During 2006 the Company sold six properties, each of which was sold at a gain. The Company also reached an agreement to sell another commercial property, located in Greenville, South Carolina, which sold on January 31, 2007 at a loss. In evaluating the Greenville, South Carolina property, the Company compared estimated future costs to upgrade and reposition the multi-tenant property and to lease up the building. The Company concluded that accepting the offer was the more prudent decision because the management time and oversight of such a project outweighed the potential future benefit. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2006, each of the six properties sold and the property classified as held for sale are classified as discontinued operations on our financial statements. Income from discontinued operations of the seven properties was approximately $5.5 million and $12.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2006 the Company reported $61.4 million as gain on sale of properties including a provision for loss on the property held for sale. For the year ended December 31, 2005 the Company reported $30.5 million as net gains on sale of properties. During the year ended December 31, 2006 gains on sales of properties and a provision for loss from assets held for sale were recognized and are summarized below:

F-30 EX-10.3 2 ex10-3.txt SUMMARY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Exhibit 10.3 Summary of Executive Compensation of Named Executive Officers The current salaries payable to each "named executive officer", as defined in Item 402 of Regulation S-K, of Franklin Street Properties Corp. (the "Company") are as follows: George J. Carter, President and Chief Executive Officer (PEO) $225,000 John G. Demeritt, Chief Financial Officer (PFO) $180,000 Barbara J. Fournier, Vice President, Chief Operating $200,000 Officer, Treasurer and Secretary R. Scott MacPhee, Executive Vice President -- William W. Gribbell, Executive Vice President -- Messrs. MacPhee and Gribbell are Investment Executives of the Company, whose compensation consists primarily of commissions earned on the sale of interests in the Sponsored REITs that are syndicated by the Company. As is standard practice in the investment industry, Investment Executives earn as commission a percentage of payout of the gross sales commission earned on each investment sale. The actual amount of compensation earned as commissions is determined by the level of sales conducted by each individual. Each of the named executive officers listed above, other than the Investment Executives, is eligible for a bonus payable in the form of cash and/or shares of common stock of the Company based on the Company's performance and the individual's performance during the year. With respect to the 2006 fiscal year, the Company paid the following cash bonuses(1) to its named executive officers in 2007: John G. Demeritt, Chief Financial Officer (PFO) $335,000 Barbara J. Fournier, Vice President, Chief Operating $365,000 Officer, Treasurer and Secretary The Company did not grant any stock awards to any of its named executive officers for the 2006 fiscal year. - -------- (1) George J. Carter is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Carter's overall performance for 2006 was considered excellent by the Compensation Committee. However, at the request of Mr. Carter, the Compensation Committee did not consider making any recommendation to the Board for a cash bonus for 2006 performance. Although the Compensation Committee considered the Company's results during 2006 to be outstanding, the price of the Company's common stock did not increase measurably over the course of the year. The price per share at the beginning of 2006 was $20.95 and the price per share at the end of 2006 was $21.05. Mr. Carter believes that the Chief Executive Officer has the ultimate responsibility for the stock price and that it is the Chief Executive Officer's responsibility to get the Company's message out to the public. The Compensation Committee determined that, based upon the performance of the Company and Mr. Carter personally, Mr. Carter deserved a bonus. However, the Compensation Committee decided to honor Mr. Carter's request that he not be considered for a cash bonus. EX-21.1 3 ex21-1.txt SUBSIDIARIES OF FRANKLIN STREET PROPERTIES CORP.

P-2 FRANKLIN STREET PROPERTIES CORP. NOTES TO COMBINING CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The following unaudited combining condensed consolidated pro forma financial statement presentation has been prepared based upon certain pro forma adjustments to the historical consolidated financial statements of FSP Corp. The pro forma statements of income are presented as if the acquisition and mergers occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented. Each of the acquisition of One Overton Park on June 27, 2006 and the 2006 Merger has been treated as a purchase of assets. One Overton Park and the Target REITs' assets and liabilities have been recorded on FSP Corp.'s books at their fair value as of the effective date of the mergers as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (or "GAAP"). PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS Certain assumptions regarding the operations of FSP Corp. have been made in connection with the preparation of the combining condensed consolidated financial pro forma information. These assumptions are as follows: (a) FSP Corp. and each of the Target REITs have elected to be, and are qualified as, a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes. Each entity has met the various required tests; therefore, no provision for federal or state income taxes has been reflected on real estate operations. FSP Corp. has subsidiaries which are not in the business of real estate operations. Those subsidiaries are taxable as real estate investment trust subsidiaries, or TRS, and are subject to income taxes at statutory tax rates. The taxes on income shown in the pro forma statements of income are the taxes on income of the TRS. There are no material items that would cause a deferred tax asset or a deferred tax liability.
