PART I

Item 1. Business

General

As used herein, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” refer to Brandywine Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust, individually or together with its subsidiaries, including Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership. We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) active in acquiring, developing, redeveloping, leasing and managing office and industrial properties. As of December 31, 2003, we owned 208 office properties, 25 industrial facilities and one mixed-use property (the “Properties”) containing an aggregate of approximately 15.7 million net rentable square feet. We were also performing management and leasing services for 41 properties containing an aggregate of 3.6 million net rentable square feet. In addition, as of December 31, 2003, we held economic interests in ten unconsolidated real estate ventures (the “Real Estate Ventures”) that we formed with third parties to develop or own commercial properties. The Real Estate Ventures own ten office buildings that contain approximately 1.8 million net rentable square feet. As of December 31, 2003, we had an aggregate investment in the Real Estate Ventures of approximately $15.9 million (net of returns of invested amounts). We also own approximately 445 acres of undeveloped land and hold options to purchase approximately 61 additional acres. The Properties are located in the office and industrial markets in and surrounding Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Richmond, Virginia.

Recent Developments

On January 12, 2004, we sold 2,645,000 Common Shares for net proceeds of approximately $69.3 million. We used the net proceeds to reduce the outstanding balance under our revolving credit facility.

On February 3, 2004, we entered into an agreement with Commonwealth Atlantic Operating Properties, Inc., the holder of 1,950,000 then outstanding Series B Preferred Units (the “Series B Preferred Units”) in the Operating Partnership. The Series B Preferred Units had an aggregate stated value of $97.5 million and accrued distributions at 7.25% per annum. During February 2004, we redeemed all of the Series B Preferred Units for an aggregate price of $93.0 million, together with accrued but unpaid distributions from January 1, 2004.

On February 27, 2004, we sold 2,300,000 7.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares for net proceeds of approximately $55.5 million. We used the net proceeds to reduce the outstanding balance under our revolving credit facility, including amounts advanced under our revolving credit facility to fund the redemption of Series B Preferred Units.

On March 3, 2004, we sold 1,840,000 Common Shares for net proceeds of approximately $50.7 million. We used the net proceeds to reduce the outstanding balance under our revolving credit facility.

Business Objective

Our business objective is to maximize return on investment and to accomplish our objective we seek to:

maximize cash flow through leasing strategies designed to capture potential rental growth as rental rates increase and as below-market leases are renewed;
   
attain a high tenant retention rate through aggressive tenant service programs responsive to the varying needs of our diverse tenant base;
   
increase economic diversification while maximizing economies of scale;

Back to Contents

develop high-quality office and industrial properties on our existing inventory of land, as warranted by market conditions;
   
capitalize on our redevelopment expertise to selectively acquire, redevelop and reposition underperforming properties in desirable locations;
   
acquire high-quality office and industrial properties and portfolios of such properties at attractive yields in selected submarkets within the Mid-Atlantic region that we expect will experience economic growth and provide barriers to entry; and
   
pursue joint venture opportunities with high-quality partners having attractive real estate holdings or significant financial resources.

We expect to continue to concentrate our real estate activities in submarkets within the Mid-Atlantic region where we believe that: (i) barriers to entry (such as zoning restrictions, utility availability, infrastructure limitations, development moratoriums and limited developable land) will create supply constraints on office and industrial space; (ii) current market rents and absorption statistics justify limited new construction activity; (iii) we can maximize market penetration by accumulating a critical mass of properties and thereby enhance operating efficiencies; and (iv) there is potential for economic growth.

Organization

Brandywine Realty Trust was organized and commenced its operations in 1986 as a Maryland REIT. We own our assets and conduct our operations through the Operating Partnership and subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2003, our ownership interest in the Operating Partnership entitled us to approximately 95.8% of the Operating Partnership’s distributions after distributions by the Operating Partnership to holders of its then outstanding Series B Preferred Units. Our structure as an “UPREIT” is designed, in part, to permit persons contributing properties to us to defer some or all of the tax liability they might otherwise incur in a sale of properties. We conduct our real estate management services through Brandywine Realty Services Corporation (the “Management Company”), a subsidiary of which 95% is owned by the Operating Partnership. The remaining five percent is owed by a partnership comprised of two executives of the Company. See “Management Activities.”

Our executive offices are located at 401 Plymouth Road, Suite 500, Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania 19462 and our telephone number is (610) 325-5600. We have an internet website at www.brandywinerealty.com. We also have regional offices in Mount Laurel, New Jersey and Richmond, Virginia.

Credit Facility

We maintain an unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a bank group (comprising 21 banks) led by Bank of America, N.A. A majority of our direct and indirect subsidiaries are parties to the Credit Facility, as guarantors. The Credit Facility provides up to $500 million in credit availability for working capital advances and letters of credit. As of December 31, 2003, there was unused availability of $184.3 million under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is scheduled to mature in June 2004, but may be extended at our election for a period of one year upon payment of a fee equal to .25% of the amount of the Credit Facility at the time of extension.

Advances under the Credit Facility currently bear interest at the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (1.12% at December 31, 2003) plus 1.50%. The spread over LIBOR varies, based on our leverage, from a low of 1.25% to a high of 1.75%. We have the option to elect an interest rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate plus .75% or Bank of America’s prime rate plus .25%. We generally elect the interest rate based on LIBOR for all or most of our borrowings under the Credit Facility. An alternative rate and pricing structure are set forth in the Credit Facility if we obtain an investment grade debt rating, from at least two of the three major rating agencies.

We have entered into interest rate swap and rate cap agreements designed to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on certain variable rate debt. At December  31, 2003, we had interest rate swap agreements for notional principal amounts aggregating $175  million. The swap agreements effectively fix the LIBOR portion of our interest rate on $100  million of Credit Facility borrowings at 4.230% and $75  million of Credit Facility borrowings at 4.215%, in each case until June 2004. The interest rate cap agreement effectively limits the interest rate on a mortgage with a notional value of $28  million at 8.7% until July 2004.

The Credit Facility contains provisions limiting: the incurrence of additional debt; the granting of liens; the consummation of mergers and consolidations; the disposition of assets and interests in subsidiaries; the making of loans and investments; and the payment of dividends. The restriction on dividends permits us to pay dividends in the amount required for us to retain our qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and otherwise limits dividends to 90% of our funds from operations, as defined in the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility also contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a debt service coverage ratio, an interest coverage ratio, a fixed charge coverage ratio, an unsecured debt ratio and an unencumbered cash flow ratio above certain specified minimum levels; to maintain net worth above an amount determined on a specified formula; and to maintain a leverage ratio and a secured debt ratio below certain maximum levels. Another financial covenant limits the percentage of our total assets (on a consolidated basis) that can be held by subsidiaries not party to the Credit Facility.

Term Loan

We entered into a $100  million unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan”) in July 2002. We used the proceeds of the Term Loan to repay existing indebtedness, consisting primarily of indebtedness that had been outstanding under the Credit Facility. The Term Loan, like the Credit Facility, is recourse to us, including those of our subsidiaries that are parties, as guarantors, to the Term Loan agreement (which are the same subsidiaries that are guarantors of the Credit Facility). Bank of America, N.A. serves as administrative agent for a group of lenders under the Term Loan, as it does for the lenders under the Credit Facility, although the groups of lenders are not identical under the Term Loan and Credit Facility.

There is no required principal amortization of the Term Loan prior to maturity. The Term Loan matures on July  15, 2005, subject to two extensions of one year each upon payment by us of an extension fee and the absence of any defaults at the time of each extension.

The Term Loan bears interest at a per annum floating rate equal to the one, two, three or six month LIBOR, plus between 1.05% and 1.90% (1.12% at December  31, 2003), depending on our the leverage and debt rating. At our option, the Term Loan may bear interest at the prime rate plus .25%. Interest is due at the end of the LIBOR term, unless a six month LIBOR term is selected, in which case interest is also paid at the end of the third month of the LIBOR term. If we elect interest based on the prime rate, then interest payments will be due monthly.

The Term Loan agreement contains financial and operating covenants identical to those in the Credit Facility agreement. In addition, the Term Loan agreement, like the Credit Facility agreement, requires payment of prepayment premiums in certain instances.

See Item 2. Properties – Real Estate Ventures. We also provide customary environmental indemnities in connection with construction and permanent financing both for our own account and on behalf of Real Estate Ventures.

Management Activities

We conduct our third-party real estate management services business through the Management Company, a taxable REIT subsidiary. As of December  31, 2003, the Management Company was managing properties containing an aggregate of approximately 19.3  million net rentable square feet, of which approximately 15.7  million net rentable square feet related to Properties owned by us and approximately 3.6  million net rentable square feet related to properties owned by third parties.

Geographic Segments

We currently manage our portfolio of Properties within three segments: (1) Pennsylvania, (2) New Jersey and (3) Virginia. (See Note 12 to the Financial Statements.)

Competition

The leasing of real estate is highly competitive. The Properties compete for tenants with similar properties primarily on the basis of location, total occupancy costs (including base rent and operating expenses), services provided, and the design and condition of the improvements. We also face competition when attempting to acquire real estate, including competition from domestic and foreign financial institutions, other REIT’s, life insurance companies, pension funds, partnerships and individual investors.

Employees

As of December  31, 2003, we had 237 full-time employees.

Environmental Regulations

As an owner and operator of real estate, we are subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, and management does not believe it will have such an impact in the future. However, we cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on our Properties, properties that we have sold or on properties that may be acquired by us in the future. See “Risk Factors – Environmental problems at the Properties are possible and may be costly.”

Other

We do not have any foreign operations and our business is not seasonal. Our operations are not dependent on a single tenant or a few tenants as no single tenant accounted for more than 10% of our total 2003 revenue.

Availability of SEC Reports

We file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K and other information with the SEC. Members of the public may read and copy materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. Members of the public may also obtain information on the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains an Internet web site that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers, including us, that file electronically with the SEC. The address of that site is http://www.sec.gov. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K and other information filed by us with the SEC are available, without charge, on our Internet web site, http://www.brandywinerealty.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after they are filed electronically with the SEC. Copies are also available, without charge, from Secretary, Brandywine Realty Trust, 401 Plymouth Road, Suite 500, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462.

Risk Factors

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. Certain information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and other materials filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by us) contain statements that are forward-looking, such as statements relating to business development and real estate development activities, acquisitions, dispositions, future capital expenditures, financing sources and availability, and the effects of regulation (including environmental regulation) and competition. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no

Back to Contents

assurance that our expectations will be achieved. As forward-looking statements, these statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expected results and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of us. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our management’s current expectations include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic conditions, changes in local real estate conditions (including changes in rental rates and the number of competing properties), changes in the economic conditions affecting industries in which our principal tenants compete, our failure to lease unoccupied space in accordance with our projections, our failure to re-lease occupied space upon expiration of leases, the bankruptcy of major tenants, changes in prevailing interest rates, the unavailability of equity and debt financing, unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition and integration of our acquisitions, unanticipated costs to complete and lease-up pending developments, increased costs for, or lack of availability of, adequate insurance, including for terrorist acts, demand for tenant services beyond those traditionally provided by landlords, potential liability under environmental or other laws, the existence of complex regulations relating to our status as a REIT and to our acquisition, disposition and development activities, the adverse consequences of our failure to qualify as a REIT and the other risks identified in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events.

Our operations are concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic region, and our operational and financial performance depend on the economies in the markets in which we have a presence; changes in such markets may adversely affect our financial condition.

Our Properties are located in suburban markets in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia and Delaware. We thus do not have a broad geographic distribution of our properties. Like other real estate markets, these markets have experienced economic downturns in the past, and they are currently experiencing a downturn similar to the broader economic slowdown in the U.S. Such a downturn can lead to lower occupancy rates and, consequentially, downward pressure on rental rates. They can also result in companies experiencing difficulty with their cash flow, which might cause them to delay or miss making their lease payments or to declare bankruptcy. Furthermore, such a climate might affect the timing of lease commitments by new tenants or of lease renewals by existing tenants as such parties delay or defer their leasing decisions in order to get the most current information possible about trends in their businesses or industries. A prolonged decline in the economies of these real estate markets could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to make distributions to shareholders.

Financially distressed tenants may reduce our cash flow.

If one or more of our tenants were to experience financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, insolvency or general downturn of business, there could be an adverse effect our financial performance and distributions to shareholders.

We cannot assure you that any tenant that files for bankruptcy protection will continue to pay us rent. A bankruptcy filing by or relating to one of our tenants or a lease guarantor would bar all efforts by us to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from that tenant or the lease guarantor, or their property, unless we receive an order permitting us to do so from the bankruptcy court. In addition, we cannot evict a tenant solely because of its bankruptcy. A tenant or lease guarantor bankruptcy could delay our efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant leases, and could ultimately preclude collection of these sums. If a lease is assumed by the tenant in bankruptcy, all pre-bankruptcy balances due under the lease must be paid to us in full. However, if a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general unsecured claim for damages. Any unsecured claim we hold may be paid only to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims, and there are restrictions under bankruptcy laws that limit the amount of the claim we can make if a lease is rejected. As a result, it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of any unsecured claims we hold. For additional detail on tenant credit risk, see Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Overview – Tenant Credit Risk.

We may be unable to renew leases or relet space as leases expire.

If tenants do not to renew their leases upon expiration, we may be unable to relet the subject space. Even if the tenants do renew their leases or we can relet the space, the terms of renewal or reletting (including the cost of required renovations) may be less favorable than current lease terms. Certain leases grant the tenants an early termination right upon payment of a termination penalty. For additional detail on the risk of non-renewal of expiring leases, see Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Overview – Tenant Rollover Risk.

New development and acquisitions may not produce results in accordance with our expectations and may require development and renovation costs exceeding our estimates.

Once made, our investments may not produce results in accordance with our expectations. Our actual renovation and improvement costs in bringing an acquired property up to market standards may exceed our estimates.

In addition, we are active in developing and redeveloping office properties. Risks associated with these activities include:

  the unavailability of favorable financing, including permanent financing to repay construction financing;
     
  construction costs exceeding original estimates, due to increases in interest rates and increased materials, labor or other costs;
     
  construction and lease-up delays resulting in increased debt service, fixed expenses and construction or renovation costs;
     
  complications (including building moratoriums and anti-growth legislation) in obtaining necessary zoning, occupancy and other governmental permits; and
     
  insufficient occupancy levels and rental rates at a newly completed property causing the property to be unprofitable.

For additional detail on development risks, see Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Overview – Development Risk.

Some potential losses are not covered by insurance.

We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and rental loss insurance on all of our Properties. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits of these policies are adequate and appropriate. There are, however, types of losses, such as lease and other contract claims and acts of war, that generally are not insured. Some of our existing insurance policies expire in June 2004. We cannot be assured that we will be able to renew insurance coverage in an adequate amount or at reasonable prices. In addition, insurance companies may no longer offer coverage against certain types of losses, such as losses due to terrorist acts and mold, or, if offered, these types of insurance may be prohibitively expensive. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a Property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the Property. In such an event, we might nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the Property. We cannot be assured that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. If any of our Properties were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could seriously disrupt our operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the Property. Such events could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to shareholders.

Because real estate is illiquid, we may not be able to sell Properties when appropriate.

Real estate investments generally, and large office and industrial properties like those that we own, in particular, often cannot be sold quickly. Consequently, we may not be able to vary our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) limits our ability to sell properties held for fewer than four years. Furthermore, Properties that we acquired in exchange for units in the Operating Partnership often have a low tax basis. If we were to dispose of any of these Properties in a taxable transaction, we may be required to distribute a significant amount of the taxable gain to our security holders under the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 applicable to REITs and this could, in turn, impact our cash flow and ability to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, purchase options and rights of first refusal held by certain tenants or partners in Real Estate Ventures may also limit our ability to sell certain properties. Any of these factors could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to shareholders as well as the ability of someone to purchase us, even if a purchase were in our shareholders’ best interests.

We have agreed not to sell certain of our Properties.

We have agreed with the former owners of 13 of our Properties aggregating approximately 1.1  million net rentable square feet not to sell these Properties for varying periods of time in transactions that would trigger taxable income to the former owners, subject to certain exceptions. Some of these agreements are with affiliates of current trustees of our company. In addition, we may enter into similar agreements with sellers of Properties acquired by us in the future. These agreements generally provide that we may dispose of the applicable Properties in transactions that qualify as tax-free exchanges under Section  1031 of the Code or in other tax deferred transactions. Such transactions can be difficult and result in the property acquired in exchange for the disposed of property inheriting the tax attributes (including tax protection covenants) of the disposed of property. Without suffering adverse financial consequences, we may be precluded from selling certain Properties other than in transactions that would qualify as tax-free exchanges for federal income tax purposes.

Our operating costs might rise, which might reduce our profitability and have an adverse effect on our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to shareholders.

We might face higher operating expenses as a result of rising costs generally and, in particular, as a result of increased costs following the terrorist attacks in the U.S. on September  11, 2001. For example, it might cost more in the future than in the past for building security, property/casualty and liability insurance, and property maintenance. Following the September 11th attacks, we have increased the level of security at our Properties. We might not be able to pass along the increased costs associated with such increased building security to our tenants, which could reduce our profitability and cash flow. Some of our existing insurance policies expire in June 2004. As a result of the terrorist attacks and other market conditions, the cost of premiums for comparable coverage might be significantly higher when it is time to renew our coverage, which could increase our operating expenses and reduce our profitability and our cash flow. Because of rising costs in general, we might experience increases in our property maintenance costs, such as for cleaning, electricity, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning. In general, under our leases with tenants, we pass on a portion of these costs to them. We cannot be assured, however, that tenants will actually bear the full burden of these higher costs, or that such increased costs will not lead them, or other prospective tenants, to seek office space elsewhere. If operating expenses increase, the availability of other comparable office space in our specific geographic markets might limit our ability to increase rents, which could reduce our profitability (if operating expenses increase without a corresponding increase in revenues) and limit our ability to make distributions to shareholders.

We face significant competition from other real estate developers.

We compete with real estate developers, operators and institutions for tenants and acquisition and development opportunities. Some of these competitors have significantly greater financial resources than we do. Such competition may reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us, interfere with our ability to attract and retain tenants and may increase vacancies, which increases supply and lowers market rental rates, reduces our bargaining leverage and adversely affects our ability to improve our operating leverage. In addition, some of our competitors may be willing, because their properties may have vacancy rates higher than those for our properties, to make space available at lower prices than the space in our properties. We cannot be assured that this competition will not adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to shareholders.

Our ability to make distributions is subject to various risks.

We have been paying quarterly distributions to our shareholders. Our ability to make distributions in the future will depend upon:

  the operational and financial performance of our Properties;
     
  capital expenditures with respect to existing and newly acquired Properties;
     
  the amount of, and the interest rates on, our debt; and
     
  the absence of significant expenditures relating to environmental and other regulatory matters.

Certain of these matters are beyond our control and any significant difference between our expectations and actual results could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to shareholders.

Changes in the law may adversely affect our cash flow.

Because increases in income and service taxes are generally not passed through to tenants under leases, such increases may adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make expected distributions to shareholders. The Properties are also subject to various regulatory requirements, such as those relating to the environment, fire and safety. Our failure to comply with these requirements could result in the imposition of fines and damage awards. Also, the costs to comply with any new or different regulations could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions. While we believe that the Properties are currently in material compliance with all such requirements, we cannot be assured that these requirements will not change or that newly imposed requirements will not require significant unanticipated expenditures.

Our indebtedness subjects us to additional risks.

Debt Financing and Existing Debt Maturities. Like other real estate companies, we are subject to risks normally associated with debt financing, such as the insufficiency of cash flow to meet required debt service payment obligations and the inability to refinance existing indebtedness. If our debt cannot be paid, refinanced or extended at maturity, in addition to our failure to repay our debt, we may not be able to make distributions to shareholders at expected levels or at all. Furthermore, an increase in our interest expense could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to shareholders. If we do not meet our debt service obligations, any Properties securing such indebtedness could be foreclosed on, which would have a material adverse effect on our cash flow and ability to make distributions and, depending on the number of Properties foreclosed on, could threaten our continued viability.

Risk of Rising Interest Rates and Variable Rate Debt. Increases in interest rates on variable rate indebtedness would increase our interest expense, which could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions to shareholders. As of December  31, 2003, outstanding borrowings of approximately $290.3  million bear interest at variable rates.

No Limitation on Debt. Our organizational documents do not contain any limitation on our ability to incur additional debt. Accordingly, subject to limitations in our credit facilities, we could increase our outstanding debt without restriction. The increased debt service could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions and could increase the risk of default on our indebtedness.

Environmental problems at the Properties are possible and may be costly.

Federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations may require a current or previous owner or operator of real estate to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or releases at such property. The owner or operator may be forced to pay for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred by others in connection with environmental contamination. Such laws typically impose clean-up responsibility and liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the presence of the contaminants. Even if more than one person may have been responsible for the contamination, each person covered by the environmental laws may be held responsible for all of the clean-up costs incurred. In addition, third parties may sue the owner or operator of a site for damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from that site. These costs may be substantial and the presence of such substances may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral.

Environmental laws that govern the presence, maintenance and removal of asbestos require that owners or operators of buildings containing asbestos properly manage and maintain the asbestos, notify and train those who may come into contact with asbestos and undertake special precautions, including removal or other abatement, if asbestos would be disturbed during renovation or demolition of a building. Such laws may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators who fail to comply with these requirements and may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos fibers.

Independent environmental consultants have conducted a standard Phase I or similar general environmental site assessment (“ESA”) of each of our Properties to identify potential sources of environmental contamination and assess environmental regulatory compliance. For a number of the Properties, the Phase I ESA either referenced a prior Phase II ESA obtained on such Property or prompted us to have a Phase II ESA of such Property conducted. A Phase II ESA generally involves invasive procedures, such as soil sampling and testing or the installation and monitoring of groundwater wells. While the ESAs conducted have identified environmental contamination on a few of the Properties, they have not revealed any environmental contamination, liability or compliance concern that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our cash flow or ability to make distributions to shareholders. It is possible that the existing ESAs relating to the Properties do not reveal all environmental contaminations, liabilities or compliance concerns which currently exist, and it is also possible that the cost of remediating identified contamination may exceed current estimates. In addition, future properties which we acquire may be subject to environmental conditions.

While we have an ongoing maintenance program in place to address indoor air quality, inquiries about indoor air quality may necessitate special investigation and, depending on the results, remediation. Indoor air quality issues can stem from inadequate ventilation, chemical contaminants from indoor or outdoor sources, and biological contaminants such as molds, pollen, viruses and bacteria. Indoor exposure to chemical or biological contaminants above certain levels can be alleged to be connected to allergic reactions or other health effects and symptoms in susceptible individuals. If these conditions occur at one of our Properties, we may need to undertake a targeted remediation program, including without limitation, steps to increase indoor ventilation rates and eliminate sources of contaminants. Such remediation programs are costly and could necessitate the temporary relocation of some or all of the property’s tenants or require rehabilitation of the affected property.

Americans with Disabilities Act compliance could be costly.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”), all public accommodations and commercial facilities, including office buildings, must meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Compliance with the ADA requirements could involve removal of structural barriers from certain disabled persons’ entrances which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Other federal, state and local laws may require modifications to or restrict further renovations of our Properties with respect to such accesses. Although we believe that our properties are currently in material compliance with present requirements, noncompliance with the ADA or similar or related laws or regulations could result in the United States government imposing fines or private litigants being awarded damages against us. In addition, we do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether compliance with future requirements will require significant unanticipated expenditures. Such costs may adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make distributions.

By holding Properties through the Operating Partnership and various joint ventures, we are exposed to additional risks.

We own the Properties and interests in Real Estate Ventures through the Operating Partnership. In the future, we expect to continue to participate with other entities in property ownership through joint ventures or partnerships. Partnership or joint venture investments may involve risks not otherwise present in direct investments. Such risks include:

  the potential bankruptcy of our partners or co-venturers;
     
  a conflict between our business goals and those of our partners or co-venturers; and
     
  actions taken by our partners or co-venturers contrary to our instructions or objectives.

There is no limitation under our organizational documents as to the amount of funds which we may invest in partnerships or joint ventures.

Our status as a REIT is dependent on compliance with federal income tax requirements.

Our failure to qualify as a REIT would have serious adverse consequences to our shareholders. We believe that since 1986, we have qualified for taxation as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We plan to continue to meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT. Many of these requirements are highly technical and complex. The determination that we are a REIT requires an analysis of various factual matters and circumstances that may not be totally within our control. For example, to qualify as a REIT, at least 95% of our gross income must come from certain sources that are itemized in the REIT tax laws. We are also required to distribute to shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains). The fact that we hold our assets through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries further complicates the application of the REIT requirements. Even a technical or inadvertent mistake could jeopardize our REIT status. Furthermore, Congress and the IRS might change the tax laws and regulations, and the courts might issue new rulings that make it more difficult, or impossible, for us to remain qualified as a REIT. We do not believe, however, that any pending or proposed tax law changes would jeopardize our REIT status.

To maintain REIT status, a REIT may not own more than 10% of the securities of any corporation, except for a qualified REIT subsidiary (which must be wholly owned by the REIT), taxable REIT subsidiary or another REIT.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates. Also, unless the IRS granted us relief under certain statutory provisions, we would remain disqualified as a REIT for four years following the year we first failed to qualify. If we failed to qualify as a REIT, we would be required to pay significant income taxes and would, therefore, have less money available for investments or for distributions to shareholders. This would likely have a material adverse effect on the value of our securities. In addition, we would no longer be required to make any distributions to shareholders.

In order to make the distributions required to maintain our REIT status, we may need to borrow funds. To obtain the favorable tax treatment associated with REIT qualification, we generally will be required to distribute to shareholders at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains). In addition, we will be subject to tax on our undistributed net taxable income and net capital gain and a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which certain distributions paid by us with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of ordinary income plus 95% of capital gain net income for the calendar year, plus certain undistributed amounts from prior years.

We intend to make distributions to shareholders to comply with the distribution provisions of the Code and to avoid income and other taxes. Our income will consist primarily of our share of the income of the Operating Partnership and our cash flow will consist primarily of our share of distributions from the Operating Partnership. Differences in timing between the receipt of income and the payment of expenses in arriving at taxable income (of the Company or the Operating Partnership) and the effect of required debt amortization payments could require us to borrow funds on a short-term basis or to liquidate funds on adverse terms to meet the REIT qualification distribution requirements.

Failure of the Operating Partnership (or a subsidiary partnership) to be treated as a partnership would have serious adverse consequences to our shareholders. If the IRS were to successfully challenge the tax status of the Operating Partnership or any of its subsidiary partnerships for federal income tax purposes, the Operating Partnership or the affected subsidiary partnership would be taxable as a corporation. In such event, we would cease to qualify as a REIT and the imposition of a corporate tax on the Operating Partnership or a subsidiary partnership would reduce the amount of cash available for distribution from such partnership to us and our shareholders.

We do pay some taxes. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we are required to pay certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and Properties. In addition, the Management Company is subject to federal, state and local income tax at regular corporate rates on its net taxable income derived from its management, leasing and related service business. If we have net income from a prohibited transaction, such income will be subject to a 100% tax.

We own a subsidiary REIT. One of our subsidiaries, Atlantic American Properties Trust (“AAPT”), that indirectly holds 22 of the Properties, elected to be taxed as a REIT for the year ended December  31, 1997. So long as we seek to maintain AAPT’s REIT status, AAPT will be subject to all the requirements and risks associated with maintaining REIT status summarized above, including the limitation on the ownership of more than 10% of the securities of any corporation (other than a qualified REIT subsidiary, taxable REIT subsidiary or another REIT).

We are dependent upon our key personnel.

We are dependent upon the efforts of our executive officers, particularly Gerard H. Sweeney. The loss of Mr.  Sweeney’s services could have an adverse affect on our operations and would entitle the banks under our Credit Facility to accelerate the amounts due thereunder. Although we have an employment agreement with Mr.  Sweeney for a term extending to May  7, 2005, this agreement does not restrict his ability to become employed by a competitor following the termination of his employment with us. We do not have keyman life insurance coverage for Mr.  Sweeney.

Limitations exist with respect to a third party’s ability to acquire us or effectuate a change in control.

Limitations imposed to protect our REIT status. In order to protect us against loss of our REIT status, our Declaration of Trust limits any shareholder from owning more than 9.8% in value of our outstanding shares, subject to certain exceptions. The ownership limit may have the effect of precluding acquisition of control of the Company. If anyone acquires shares in excess of the ownership limit, we may:

 
consider the transfer to be null and void;
     
 
not reflect the transaction on our books;
     
 
institute legal action to stop the transaction;
     
 
not pay dividends or other distributions with respect to those shares;
     
 
not recognize any voting rights for those shares; and
     
 
consider the shares held in trust for the benefit of a person to whom such shares may be transferred.

Limitation due to our ability to issue preferred shares. Our Declaration of Trust authorizes the Board of Trustees to issue preferred shares. The Board of Trustees may establish the preferences and rights of any preferred shares issued which could have the effect of delaying or preventing someone from taking control of us, even if a change in control were in our shareholders’ best interests.

Limitation imposed by the Maryland Business Combination Law. The Maryland General Corporation Law, as applicable to Maryland real estate investment trusts, establishes special restrictions against “business combinations” between a Maryland real estate investment trust and “interested shareholders” or their affiliates unless an exemption is applicable. An interested shareholder includes a person who beneficially owns, and an affiliate or associate of the trust who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of, ten percent or more of the voting power of our then-outstanding voting shares. Among other things, the law prohibits (for a period of five years) a merger and certain other transactions between the trust and an interested shareholder unless the Board of Trustees approved the transaction before the party became an interested shareholder. The five-year period runs from the most recent date on which the interested shareholder became an interested shareholder. Thereafter, any such business combination must be recommended by the Board of Trustees and approved by two super-majority shareholder votes unless, among other conditions, the trust’s common shareholders receive a minimum price for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested shareholder for its shares or unless the Board of Trustees approved the transaction before the party in question became an interested shareholder. The business combination statute could have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire us and of increasing the difficulty of consummating any such offers, even if our acquisition would be in our shareholders’ best interests. We have exempted any business combination involving Safeguard Scientifics, Inc., the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania State Employees’ Retirement System and a voting trust established for its benefit, Morgan Stanley Asset Management Inc. and two funds managed by it, Lazard Freres Real Estate Investors, L.L.C., Five Arrows Realty Securities III L.L.C., Gerard H. Sweeney (the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer) and any of their respective affiliates or associates.

Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. Maryland law provides that “control shares” of a real estate investment trust acquired in a “control share acquisition” shall have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the vote eligible to be cast on the matter under the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. “Control Shares” means shares that, if aggregated with all other shares previously acquired by the acquirer, would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing trustees within one of the following ranges of voting power: one-tenth or more but less than one-third, one-third or more but less than a majority or a majority or more of all voting power. A “control share acquisition” means the acquisition of control shares, subject to certain exceptions. If voting rights or control shares acquired in a control share acquisition are not approved at a shareholder’s meeting, then subject to certain conditions and limitations the issuer may redeem any or all of the control shares for fair value. If voting rights of such control shares are approved at a shareholder’s meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to

17


Back to Contents

vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other shareholders may exercise appraisal rights. Any control shares acquired in a control share acquisition which are not exempt under our bylaws will be subject to the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the control share acquisition statute any and all acquisitions by any person of our shares. There can be no assurance that this provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future.

Many factors can have an adverse effect on the market value of our securities.

Like any publicly traded company, a number of factors might adversely affect the price of our securities, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

 
Increases in market interest rates, relative to the dividend yield on our shares. If market interest rates go up, prospective purchasers of our securities may require a higher yield. Higher market interest rates would not, however, result in more funds for us to distribute and, to the contrary, would likely increase our borrowing costs and potentially decrease funds available for distribution. Thus, higher market interest rates could cause the market price of our common shares to go down.
     
 
Anticipated benefit of an investment in our securities as compared to investment in securities of companies in other industries (including benefits associated with tax treatment of dividends and distributions).
     
 
Perception by market professionals of REITs generally and REITs comparable to us in particular.
     
 
Perception by market participants of our potential for payment of cash distributions and for growth.
     
 
Level of institutional investor interest in our securities.
     
 
Relatively low trading volumes in securities of REITs.
     
 
Our results of operations and financial condition.
     
 
Investor confidence in the stock market generally.

The market value of our Common Shares is based primarily upon the market’s perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions. Consequently, our Common Shares may trade at prices that are higher or lower than our net asset value per Common Share. If our future earnings or cash distributions are less than expected, it is likely that the market price of our Common Shares will diminish.

The issuance of preferred securities may adversely affect the rights of holders of Common Shares.

Because our Board of Trustees has the power to establish the preferences and rights of each class or series of Preferred Shares, it may afford the holders in any series or class of preferred shares preferences, distributions, powers and rights, voting or otherwise, senior to the rights of holders of Common Shares. The Board of Trustees also has the power to establish the preferences and rights of each class or series of units in the Operating Partnership, and may afford the holders in any series or class of preferred units preferences, distributions, powers and rights, voting or otherwise, senior to the rights of holders of common units.

Properties

As of December 31, 2003, we owned 208 office properties, 25 industrial facilities and one mixed-use property that contained an aggregate of approximately 15.7 million net rentable square feet. The properties are located in the markets in and surrounding Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; New Jersey; and Richmond, Virginia. As of December 31, 2003, the Properties were approximately 90.7% leased to 1,025 tenants and had an average age of approximately 16.7 years. The office properties are primarily one to three story suburban office buildings containing an average of approximately 60,580 net rentable square feet. The industrial properties accommodate a variety of tenant uses, including light manufacturing, assembly, distribution and warehousing. We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and rental loss insurance covering all of the Properties, with policy specifications and insured limits which we believe are adequate.

We had the following projects in development or redevelopment as of December 31, 2003:

(a)
Calculated by dividing net rentable square feet included in leases signed on or before December 31, 2003 at the property by the aggregate net rentable square feet of the Property.
(b)
“Total Base Rent” for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 represents base rents received during such period, excluding tenant reimbursements, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) determined on a straight-line basis. Tenant reimbursements generally include payment of real estate taxes, operating expenses and common area maintenance and utility charges.
(c)
“Average Annualized Rental Rate” is calculated as follows: (i) for office leases written on a triple net basis, the sum of the annualized contracted base rental rates payable for all space leased as of December 31, 2003 (without giving effect to free rent or scheduled rent increases that would be taken into account under GAAP) plus the 2003 budgeted operating expenses excluding tenant electricity; and (ii) for office leases written on a full service basis, the annualized contracted base rent payable for all space leased as of December 31, 2003. In both cases, the annualized rental rate is divided by the total square footage leased as of December 31, 2003 without giving effect to free rent or scheduled rent increases that would be taken into account under GAAP.
(d)
This Property is subject to a ground lease.
(e)
These properties are under redevelopment and are excluded from the percentages for Weighted Average Percentage Leased and Average Annualized Rental Rate information.

The following table shows certain information regarding rental rates and lease expirations for the Properties at December 31, 2003, assuming none of the tenants exercises renewal options or termination rights, if any, at or prior to scheduled expirations:

Real Estate Ventures

As of December 31, 2003, we had invested approximately $15.9 million in ten unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures (net of returns of investment received). We formed these ventures with unaffiliated third parties to develop office properties or to acquire land in anticipation of possible development of office properties. Nine of the Real Estate Ventures own ten office buildings that contain an aggregate of approximately 1.8 million net rentable square feet and one Real Estate Venture developed a hotel property that contains 137 rooms. At December 31, 2003, the operating properties owned by the Real Estate Ventures were approximately 81% leased to 80 tenants.

Item 3.   Legal Proceedings

We are involved from time to time in litigation on various matters, which include disputes with tenants and disputes arising out of agreements to purchase or sell properties. Given the nature of our business activities, these lawsuits are considered routine to the conduct of its business. The result of any particular lawsuit cannot be predicted, because of the very nature of litigation, the litigation process and its adversarial nature, and the jury system.

As we have reported in our prior Annual Report on Form 10-K, we are a defendant in a case in which the plaintiffs allege that we breached our obligation to purchase a portfolio of properties for approximately $83.0 million. On July 9, 1999, the Superior Court of New Jersey, Camden County, dismissed the complaint against us with prejudice. Plaintiffs subsequently filed a motion for reconsideration, which motion the Superior Court denied. Plaintiffs then appealed to the Appellate Division, which is the intermediate appellate level court in New Jersey. In December 2000, the Appellate Division affirmed in part and reversed in part the Chancery Division’s earlier dismissal of the entire action. The Appellate Division affirmed the dismissal of the non-contractual counts in the Complaint, but reversed the contract and reformation counts and remanded these to the lower court for further proceedings. We sought review of this decision by the Supreme Court of New Jersey, but that Court declined to consider the appeal. The case thereafter returned to the Chancery Division, where written and oral discovery was conducted in 2002 and in the first quarter of 2003. Discovery terminated on February 14, 2003. We filed a motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of all counts against us, and judgment for us on our counterclaim. The Chancery Division granted our summary judgment motion on March 25, 2003 and dismissed the case with prejudice. Plaintiffs appealed the judgment in our favor, and we do not know whether plaintiffs will be successful in their appeal.

There have been recent reports of lawsuits against owners and managers of multifamily and office properties asserting claims of personal injury and property damage caused by the presence of mold in residential units or office space. We have been named as a defendant in two lawsuits that allege personal injury as a result of the presence of mold. Unspecified damages are sought. We have referred these lawsuits to our environmental insurance carrier and, as of the date of this Form 10-K, the insurance carrier is tendering a defense to these claims.

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 appearing elsewhere herein. The results of operations and cash flows of the Company include the historical results of operations of the Properties held by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001. This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and as such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that these expectations will be realized. See Item 1. Business — Risk Factors.

OVERVIEW

The Company currently manages its portfolio within three geographic segments: (1) Pennsylvania, (2) New Jersey and (3) Virginia. The Company believes it has established an effective platform in these office and industrial markets that provides a foundation for achieving its goals of maximizing market penetration and optimizing operating economies of scale.

During 2003, the Company sold eight office properties containing an aggregate of approximately 343,000 net rentable square feet, two industrial properties containing an aggregate of approximately 131,000 net rentable square feet and four parcels of land containing an aggregate of approximately 24.1 acres for an

30

aggregate of $45.6 million. In December 2003, the Company sold two office properties containing an aggregate of approximately 633,000 net rentable square feet for an aggregate of $112.8 million, of which $52.9 million of proceeds were used to pay off existing mortgage notes payable secured by the two properties. The Company retained a 20% interest in a venture that purchased the properties. The Company recognized a gain on the partial sale of approximately $18.5 million for the piece sold and deferred the gain on the piece retained. The Company also purchased five office properties containing approximately 360,000 net rentable square feet and one parcel of land containing approximately 10.0 acres for an aggregate of $67.8 million.

The Company receives income primarily from rental revenue (including tenant reimbursements) from the Properties and, to a lesser extent, from the management of properties owned by third parties and from investments in the Real Estate Ventures.

The Company’s financial performance is dependent upon the demand for office and other commercial space in its markets. Current economic conditions, including recessionary pressures and capital market volatility, have enhanced the challenges facing the Company.

In the current economic climate, the Company continues to seek revenue growth through an increase in occupancy of its portfolio (90.7% at December 31, 2003). However, with a downturn in general leasing activity, owners of commercial real estate, including the Company, are experiencing longer periods in which to lease unoccupied space, and may face higher capital costs and leasing commissions to achieve targeted tenancies.

As the Company seeks to increase revenue, management also focuses on strategies to minimize operating risks, including (i) tenant rollover risk, (ii) tenant credit risk and (iii) development risk.

Tenant Rollover Risk:

The Company is subject to the risk that, upon expiration, leases may not be renewed, the space may not be relet, or the terms of renewal or reletting (including the cost of renovations) may be less favorable than the current lease terms. Leases accounting for approximately 10.8% of the aggregate annualized base rents from the Properties as of December 31, 2003 (representing approximately 11.6% of the net rentable square feet of the Properties) expire without penalty in 2004. The Company maintains an active dialogue with its tenants in an effort to achieve a high level of lease renewals. The Company’s retention rate for leases that were scheduled to expire in the year ended December 31, 2003 was 80.2%. If the Company is unable to renew leases for a substantial portion of the space under expiring leases, or to promptly relet this space, at anticipated rental rates, the Company’s cash flow could be adversely impacted.

Tenant Credit Risk:

In the event of a tenant default, the Company may experience delays in enforcing its rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting its investment. Management regularly evaluates its accounts receivable reserve policy in light of its tenant base and general and local economic conditions. The accounts receivable allowance was $4.0 million or 11.2% of total receivables (including accrued rent receivable) as of December 31, 2003 compared to $4.6 million or 12.5% of total receivables (including accrued rent receivable) as of December 31, 2002.

Development Risk:

The Company currently has in development or redevelopment seven sites aggregating approximately 1.1 million square feet. The total cost of these projects is estimated to be $225.5 million, of which $17.9 million was incurred as of December 31, 2003. While the Company is actively marketing space at these projects to prospective tenants, management cannot provide assurance as to the timing or terms of any leases of such space. As of December 31, 2003, the Company owned approximately 445 acres of undeveloped land and held options to purchase approximately 61 additional acres. Risks associated with development of this land include construction cost overruns and construction delays, insufficient occupancy rates and inability to obtain necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental approvals.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included this Annual Report on Form 10-K. While the estimates and judgments associated with the application of these accounting policies may be affected by different assumptions or conditions, the Company believes the estimates and judgments associated with the reported amounts are appropriate in the circumstances. The following identifies critical accounting policies that are used in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including those policies which require significant judgment and estimates:

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term regardless of when payments are due. Certain lease agreements contain provisions that require tenants to reimburse a pro rata share of real estate taxes and common area maintenance costs.

Real Estate Investments

Real estate investments are carried at cost. The Company records acquisition of real estate investments under the purchase method of accounting and allocates the purchase price to land, buildings and intangible assets on a relative fair value basis. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of buildings and capital improvements (25 to 40 years) and over the shorter of the lease term or the life of the asset for tenant improvements. Direct construction costs related to the development of Properties and land holdings are capitalized as incurred. The Company expenses routine repair and maintenance expenditures.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Management reviews investments in real estate and real estate ventures for impairment if facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Measurement of any impairment loss will be based on the fair value of the asset, determined using customary valuation techniques, such as the present value of expected future cash flows.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144 (“SFAS 144”), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets, such as real estate investments and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities relating to assets classified as held-for-sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

Income Taxes

The Company may elect to treat one or more of its corporate subsidiaries as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). In general, a TRS of the Company may perform additional services for tenants of the Company and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business (except for the operation or management of health care facilities or lodging facilities or the providing to any person, under a franchise, license or otherwise, rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated). A TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax. The Company has elected to treat certain of its corporate subsidiaries as a TRS. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that represents an estimate of losses that may be incurred from the inability of tenants to make required payments. The allowance is an estimate based on two calculations that are combined to determine the total amount reserved. First, the Company evaluates specific accounts where it has been determined that a tenant may have an inability to meet its financial obligations. In these situations, the Company uses its judgment, based on the facts and circumstances, and records a specific reserve for that tenant against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount that the Company expects to collect. These reserves are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information becomes available. Second, a reserve is established for all tenants based on a range of percentages applied to aging categories. These percentages are based on historical collection and write-off experience. If the financial condition of the Company’s tenants were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required.

Deferred Costs

The Company incurs direct costs related to the financing, development and leasing of the Properties. Management exercises judgment in determining whether such costs meet the criteria for capitalization or must be expensed. Capitalized financing fees are amortized over the related loan term and capitalized leasing costs are amortized over the related lease term. Management re-evaluates the remaining useful lives of leasing costs as the creditworthiness of the Company’s tenants and economic and market conditions change.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Company allocates the purchase price of properties to net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired based on fair values. Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) the Company’s estimate of the fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancellable term of the lease. Capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancellable terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market lease values amortized as an increase of rental income over the remaining non-cancellable terms of the respective leases, including any fixed-rate renewal periods.

The aggregate value of other intangibles acquired is measured based on the difference between (i) the property valued with in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii) the property valued as if it was vacant. The Company allocates a portion of the purchase price to lease origination costs. The Company estimates the cost to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the in-place leases, include leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. This intangible asset is amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases. Company estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by the Company in their analysis include an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. The Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, which primarily range from three to twelve months.

 

33


Back to Contents

The total amount of these other intangible assets is further allocated to tenant relationships and in-place leases based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Characteristics considered by the Company in allocating value to its tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Company’s business relationship with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors. The value of tenant relationship intangibles is amortized over the remaining initial lease term and renewals, but in no event longer than the remaining depreciable life of the building. The value of in-place leases is amortized over the remaining non-cancellable term of the respective leases and any fixed-rate renewal periods.

In the event that a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of each intangible, including market rate adjustments, lease origination costs, in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, would be charged to expense.

Management generally considers Same Store net operating income a useful financial measure because the results of the Same Store Properties are directly comparable period to period. Same Store net operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure and does not represent income from continuing operations because it does not reflect the consolidated operations of the Company.

Revenue increased to $305.7 million for 2003 as compared to $291.0 million for 2002, primarily due to increased rental rates and additional properties in 2003, offset by decreased occupancy.

Revenue increased to $291.0 million for 2002 as compared to $270.5 million for 2001, primarily due to increased rental rates and additional properties in 2002, offset by decreased occupancy. The straight-line rent adjustment increased revenues by $5.8 million in 2002 and $5.4 million in 2001. Revenue for Same Store Properties decreased to $233.3 million in 2002 from $236.6 million in 2001. This decrease was the result of decreased occupancy in 2002 as compared to 2001.

Other revenue represents lease termination fees, leasing commissions, third-party management fees and interest income.

Property operating expenses for the Same Store Properties increased to $71.2 million in 2002 as compared to $69.9 million in 2002 as a result of higher insurance and security costs.

Real estate taxes increased to $25.2 million in 2002 as compared to $22.4 million in 2001, primarily due to increased real estate tax assessments in 2002 and additional properties in 2002.

Interest expense decreased to $63.5 million in 2002 as compared to $67.5 million in 2001, primarily due to decreased interest rates, partially offset by increased average borrowings during 2002. Average outstanding debt balances for 2002 were $1.0 billion as compared to $949.5 million for 2001. The Company’s weighted-average interest rate on its unsecured credit facilities after giving effect to hedging activities on the unsecured credit facilities decreased to 5.41% in 2002 from 6.48% in 2001 and on its mortgage notes payable decreased to 7.27% in 2002 from 7.39% in 2001.

Depreciation decreased to $50.8 million in 2002 as compared to $62.9 million in 2001 primarily due to a change made by the Company in the estimated useful lives of buildings from 25 to 40 years. The impact of this change in useful lives was $19.0 million or $.53 per share for the year ended December 31, 2002. Management determined that the longer period better reflected the useful lives of the buildings. Amortization, related to deferred leasing costs, increased to $5.6 million in 2002 as compared to $4.3 million in 2001, primarily due to increased leasing activity and additional properties in 2002.

Through December 31, 2003, the Company had repurchased 3.2 million of its Common Shares at an average price of $17.75 per share. Under the share repurchase program, the Company has the authority to repurchase an additional 762,000 shares. No time limit has been placed on the duration of the share repurchase program. The following table summarizes the share repurchases during the three years ended December 31, 2003:

Short- and Long-Term Liquidity

The Company believes that cash flow from operations and current financing alternatives are adequate to fund its short-term liquidity requirements for 2004. Cash flow from operations is generated primarily from rental revenues, operating expense reimbursements from tenants, and by providing management services to third parties. The Company intends to use these funds to meet its principal short-term liquidity needs, which are to fund operating expenses, debt service requirements, recurring capital expenditures, tenant allowances, leasing commissions and the minimum distributions required to maintain the Company’s REIT qualifications under the Internal Revenue Code.

On December 18, 2003, the Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend distribution of $0.44 per share, paid on January 15, 2004 to common shareholders of record as of December 31, 2003. Distributions of $1.76 per share were declared in 2003 and 2002.

Future distributions by us will be declared at the discretion of the Board of Trustees and will depend on our actual cash flow, our financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deems relevant.

The Company expects to meet its long-term liquidity requirements, such as for property acquisitions, development, investments in real estate ventures, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other significant capital improvements, through borrowings under its Credit Facility, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of equity securities and the disposition of certain properties.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is not dependent on the use of any off-balance sheet financing arrangements for liquidity. The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements are discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements: “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures”.  Additional information about the debt of the Company’s unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures is included in “Item 2 — Properties”.

Inflation

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

Interest Rate Risk and Sensitivity Analysis

The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of the Company’s financial instruments to selected changes in market rates. The range of changes chosen reflects the Company’s view of changes which are reasonably possible over a one-year period. Market values are the present value of projected future cash flows based on the market rates chosen.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of both fixed and variable rate debt. As of December 31, 2003, the Company’s consolidated debt consisted of $402.3 million in fixed rate mortgages and $60.4 million in variable rate mortgage notes, $305.0 million borrowings under its Credit Facility and $100.0 million under its Term Loan. All financial instruments were entered into for other than trading purposes and the net market value of these financial instruments is referred to as the net financial position. Changes in interest rates have different impacts on the fixed and variable rate portions of the Company’s debt portfolio. A change in interest rates on the fixed portion of the debt portfolio impacts the net financial instrument position, but has no impact on interest incurred or cash flows. A change in interest rates on the variable portion of the debt portfolio impacts the interest incurred and cash flows, but does not impact the net financial instrument position.

The Company has entered into interest rate swap and rate cap agreements designed to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on its variable rate debt. At December 31, 2003, the Company had interest rate swap agreements for notional principal amounts aggregating $175 million. The swap agreements effectively fix the LIBOR interest rate on $100 million of Credit Facility borrowings at 4.230% and on $75 million of Credit Facility borrowings at 4.215%, in each case until June 2004. The interest rate cap agreement effectively limits the interest rate on a mortgage with a notional value of $28 million at 8.7% until July 2004. The impact of the cap agreement is recorded as a component of interest expense.

If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increase by 1%, the increase in annual interest expense on our variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $3.8 million. If market rates of interest on our variable rate debt decrease by 1%, the decrease in interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase future earnings and cash flows by approximately $3.8 million. If market rates of interest increase by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would decrease by approximately $24.5 million. If market rates of interest decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would increase by approximately $27.1 million.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

See discussion in Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in Item 7 herein.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

The financial statements and supplementary financial data are listed under Item 15(a) and filed as part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Item 15.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) is the Company’s independent public auditors. KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) provides the Company with tax compliance and advisory services. The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Company has approved the provision of services by PWC and KPMG to the Company. See Item 9.

Report of Management

The management of the Company is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and related financial information included in this annual report. The statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, accordingly, include amounts that are based on informed estimates and judgments.

Management maintains a system of internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are properly authorized and accurately recorded. The concept of reasonable assurance is based on the recognition that there are inherent limitations in all systems of internal accounting control and that the costs of such systems should not exceed the benefits expected to be derived. The Company continually reviews and modifies these systems, where appropriate, to maintain such assurance. The system of internal controls includes careful selection, training and development of operating and financial personnel, well-defined organizational responsibilities and communication of Company policies and procedures throughout the organization.

The selection of the Company’s independent auditors, PWC, has been approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees. The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees, comprised solely of non-employee Trustees, meets periodically with the Company’s independent auditors and management to review the financial statements and related information and to confirm that they are properly discharging their responsibilities. In addition, the independent auditors meet with the Audit Committee, without the presence of management, to discuss their findings and their observations on other relevant matters. Recommendations made by PWC are considered and appropriate action is taken to respond to these recommendations.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

On May 23, 2002, the Company dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP (“Arthur Andersen”) as its independent public accountants and appointed KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as its independent public accountants. The decision to dismiss Arthur Andersen and to retain KPMG was approved by the Audit Committee. Arthur Andersen’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the subsequent interim period through May 30, 2002, there were no disagreements between the Company and Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their reports.

None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred within the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the subsequent interim period through May 30, 2002.

A copy of Arthur Andersen’s letter dated May 30, 2002 with respect to certain of the above statements is attached as Exhibit 16 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 30, 2002.

During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the subsequent interim period through May 30, 2002, neither the Company nor anyone acting on behalf of the Company consulted with KPMG regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.

On June 19, 2003, the Company informed KPMG that they would be dismissed effective as of June 19, 2003.

The audit report of KPMG on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. During its audit for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, and for the subsequent interim period through June 25, 2003, (i) there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to KPMG’s satisfaction, would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in their reports, and (ii) there have been no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Audit Committee authorized the dismissal of KPMG and appointment of PWC. The Company retained PWC as its independent accountants effective June 19, 2003.

During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, and for the subsequent interim period through June 25, 2003, neither the Company nor anyone acting on behalf of the Company engaged PWC regarding any of the items described in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.

A copy of KPMG’s letter dated June 25, 2003 with respect to certain of the above statements is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 25, 2003.

All Other Fees. The Company did not pay other fees to PWC or KPMG for services provided to the Company in 2003 or 2002.

We have been advised by each of PWC and KPMG that neither the firm, nor any member of the firm, has any financial interest, direct or indirect, in any capacity in the Company or its subsidiaries.

All audit related services, tax services and other services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by PWC or KPMG, respectively, was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions.

BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2003, 2002 AND 2001

1.
ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Brandywine Realty Trust, a Maryland Real Estate Investment Trust (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) active in acquiring, developing, redeveloping, leasing and managing office and industrial properties. As of December 31, 2003, the Company’s portfolio included 208 office properties, 25 industrial facilities and one mixed-use property (collectively, the “Properties”) that contained an aggregate of approximately 15.7 million net rentable square feet. The Properties are located in the office and industrial markets in and surrounding Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Richmond, Virginia. As of December 31, 2003, the Company also held economic interests in ten unconsolidated real estate ventures (the “Real Estate Ventures”) formed with third parties to develop or own commercial properties.

The Company’s interest in its assets is held through Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of December 31, 2003, was entitled to approximately 95.8% of the Operating Partnership’s distributions after distributions to holders of then outstanding Series B Preferred Units (as defined in Note 3 below). The Operating Partnership owns a 95% interest in a taxable REIT subsidiary, Brandywine Realty Services Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Management Company”), that, as of December 31, 2003, was performing management and leasing services for properties containing an aggregate of approximately 19.3 million net rentable square feet, of which approximately 15.7 million net rentable square feet related to properties owned by the Company and approximately 3.6 million net rentable square feet related to properties owned by third parties. The remaining 5% of the Management Company is owned by a partnership comprised of two executives of the Company.

2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company, its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries, which consist principally of the Operating Partnership as well as the Management Company (consolidated subsequent to January 1, 2001, see below). The portion of these entities not owned by the Company is presented as minority interest as of and during the periods consolidated. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

See Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures in Note 6 for the Company’s treatment of unconsolidated real estate venture interests. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Management Company

The Management Company, a taxable REIT subsidiary, provides management, leasing, construction, development, redevelopment and other real estate related services for the Company’s properties and for third parties. Prior to December 31, 2000, the Company owned 100% of the Management Company’s non-voting preferred stock and 5% of its voting common stock and accounted for its investment using the equity method. Effective January 1, 2001, the Company converted its non-voting interest in the Management Company to a voting interest. As a result, the Company owns 95% of the Management Company’s equity, has voting control and, therefore, has consolidated the Management Company since January 1, 2001.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes significant estimates regarding revenue, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts and deferred costs.

Operating Properties

Operating properties are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of operating properties reflects their purchase price or development cost. Costs incurred for the acquisition and renovation of an operating property are capitalized to the Company’s investment in that property. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Fully- depreciated assets are removed from the accounts.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Company allocates the purchase price of properties to net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired based on fair values. Above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) the Company’s estimate of the fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancellable term of the lease. Capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancellable terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market lease values amortized as an increase of rental income over the remaining non-cancellable terms of the respective leases, including any fixed-rate renewal periods.

The aggregate value of other intangibles acquired is measured based on the difference between (i) the property valued with in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii) the property valued as if it was vacant. The Company allocates a portion of the purchase price to lease origination costs. The Company estimates the cost to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the in-place leases, include leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. This intangible asset is amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases. Company estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by the Company in their analysis include an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. The Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, which primarily range from three to twelve months.

The total amount of these other intangible assets is further allocated to tenant relationships and in-place leases based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Characteristics considered by the Company in allocating value to its tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Company’s business relationship with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors. The value of tenant relationship intangibles is amortized over the remaining initial lease term and renewals, but in no event longer than the remaining depreciable life of the building. The value of in-place leases is amortized over the remaining non-cancellable term of the respective leases and any fixed-rate renewal periods.

In the event that a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of each intangible, including market rate adjustments, lease origination costs, in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, would be charged to expense.

As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, intangible assets and acquired lease liabilities consist of the following:

    As of December 31,

 
    2003   2002  
   

 

 
    (amounts in thousands)  
Intangible assets (included in Other Assets and Other Liabilities):
             
Acquired lease asset, net of accumulated amortization of $345 and $99, respectively
  $ 1,866   $ 607  
Value of In-Place leases, net of accumulated amortization of $93 in 2003
    2,335      
Value of tenant relationships, net of accumulated amortization of $84 in 2003
    2,033      
Origination value, net of accumulated amortization of $471 and $256, respectively
    1,198     959  
   

 

 
Net intangible assets
  $ 7,432   $ 1,566  
   

 

 
Acquired lease liability, net of accumulated amortization of $869 and $558, respectively
  $ 1,305   $ 1,547  
   

 

 
 
Depreciation and Amortization

The costs of buildings and improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the following useful lives: buildings and improvements (five to 40 years) and tenant improvements (the shorter of the lease term or the life of the asset).

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company changed the estimated useful lives of various buildings from 25 to 40 years. This change resulted in an increase of net income of $19.0 million or $.53 per share for the year ended December 31, 2002. Management determined the longer period to be a better estimate of the useful lives of the buildings.

Construction in Progress

Project costs directly associated with the development and construction of a real estate project are capitalized as construction in progress. In addition, interest, real estate taxes and general and administrative expenses that are directly associated with the Company’s development activities are capitalized until completion of the building shell. Once the building shell of a real estate project is completed, the costs capitalized to construction in progress are transferred to land and buildings. Direct construction costs totaling $1.7 million in 2003, $2.2 million in 2002 and $2.7 million in 2001 and interest totaling $1.5 million in 2003, $2.9 million in 2002 and $5.2 million in 2001 were capitalized related to development of certain Properties and land holdings.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144 (“SFAS 144”), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets as held-for-sale, broadens the scope of businesses to be disposed of that qualify for reporting as discontinued operations and changes the timing of recognizing losses on such operations. The company adopted SFAS 144 on January 1, 2002.

In accordance with SFAS 144, long-lived assets, such as real estate investments and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The other assets and liabilities related to assets classified as held-for-sale are presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded an impairment charge associated with an asset held-for-sale (See Note 9). The Company recorded no impairment losses for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2001.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains cash equivalents in financial institutions in excess of insured limits, but believes this risk is mitigated by only investing in or through major financial institutions.

F-9


Back to Contents

Escrowed Cash

Restricted cash consists of cash held as collateral to provide credit enhancement for the Company’s mortgage debt, cash for property taxes, capital expenditures and tenant improvements.

Accounts Receivable

Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Minimum annual rentals under tenant leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Accrued rent receivable represents the amount that straight-line rental income exceeds rents currently due under the lease agreements. Included in current tenant receivables are tenant reimbursements which are comprised of amounts recoverable from tenants for common area maintenance expenses and certain other recoverable expenses that are recognized as revenue in the period in which the related expenses are incurred. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, no tenant represents more than 10% of accounts receivable.

Tenant receivables and accrued rent receivables are carried net of the allowances for doubtful accounts of $1.5 million and $2.5 million in 2003 and $2.3 million and $2.3 million in 2002. Management’s determination of the adequacy of these allowances is based primarily upon evaluations of historical loss experience, individual receivables and current economic conditions.

Marketable Securities

The Company accounts for its investments in equity securities according to the provisions of SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, which requires securities classified as “available-for-sale” to be stated at fair value. Adjustments to fair value of available-for-sale securities are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). A decline in the market value of equity securities below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to earnings and a new cost basis for the security is established.

As of December 31, 2003, the Company had no material exposure to market risk (including foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk).

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures under the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence, but does not control these entities under the provisions of the entities’ governing agreements. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as Investments in Real Estate Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions.

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the value of the investment. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company recorded an impairment charge associated with an investment in a non-operating Real Estate Venture (see Note 9).

Deferred Costs

Costs incurred in connection with property leasing are capitalized as deferred leasing costs. Deferred leasing costs consist primarily of leasing commissions that are amortized on the straight-line method over the life of the respective lease which generally ranges from one to 15 years. Management re-evaluates the remaining useful lives of leasing costs as economic and market conditions change. Internal direct leasing costs deferred totaled $3.9 million in 2003, $3.6 million in 2002 and $3.1 million in 2001.

Costs incurred in connection with debt financing are capitalized as deferred financing costs and charged to interest expense over the terms of the related debt agreements. Deferred financing costs consist

F-10


Back to Contents

primarily of loan fees which are amortized over the related loan term. Total accumulated amortization related to these costs was $5.0 million in 2003 and $3.5 million in 2002.

Other Assets

As of December 31, 2003, other assets included a direct financing lease of $16.1 million, intangible assets related to property acquisitions of $6.2 million, prepaid real estate taxes of $5.4 million, deposits on properties to be purchased in 2004 totaling $5.1 million, cash surrender value of life insurance of $3.7 million, furniture, fixtures and equipment of $2.1 million and $6.5 million of other assets. As of December 31, 2002, other assets included a direct financing lease of $16.0 million, prepaid real estate taxes of $5.6 million, promissory notes of $4.0 million, furniture, fixtures and equipment of $2.1 million and $6.8 million of other assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and borrowings under the Credit Facility approximate fair value. Accordingly, these items have been excluded from the fair value disclosures.

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenue is recognized on the straight-line basis from the later of the date of the origination of the lease or the date of acquisition of the facility subject to existing leases, which averages minimum rents over the terms of the leases. The cumulative difference between lease revenue recognized under this method and contractual lease payment terms is recorded as “accrued rent receivable” on the accompanying balance sheets. The straight-line rent adjustment increased revenue by approximately $5.9 million in 2003, $5.9 million in 2002 and $6.2 million in 2001. The leases also typically provide for tenant reimbursement of common area maintenance and other operating expenses. Deferred rental revenue represents rental revenue received from tenants prior to their due dates.

No tenant represented greater than 10% of the Company’s rental revenue in 2003, 2002 or 2001.

Income Taxes

The Company elects to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code. In management’s opinion, the requirements to maintain this election are being met. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been reflected in the financial statements.

Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of distributions to shareholders, differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes due to differences in cost basis, the estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation, and the allocation of net income and loss for financial versus tax reporting purposes. The tax basis in the Company’s assets was $1.4 billion as of December 31, 2003 and $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2002.

The Company is subject to a 4% Federal excise tax, if sufficient taxable income is not distributed within prescribed time limits. The excise tax equals 4% of the annual amount, if any, by which the sum of (a) 85% of the Company’s ordinary income and (b) 95% of the Company’s net capital gain exceeds cash distributions and certain taxes paid by the Company. No excise tax was incurred in 2003, 2002, or 2001.

The Management Company is subject to Federal and state income taxes. There was no provision required for income taxes in 2003, 2002 and 2001.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing income applicable to Common Shares by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the effect of common share equivalents outstanding during the period.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 148 (“SFAS 148”), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure. SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123 (“SFAS 123”), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily adopts the fair value recognition method of recording stock option expense. SFAS 148 also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 and APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entity’s accounting policy with respect to stock options on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. The Company adopted SFAS 148 on a prospective basis for all grants subsequent to January 1, 2002.

Prior to 2002, the Company accounted for stock options issued under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and Related Interpretations. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income or loss is recorded in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 130 (“SFAS 130”), Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. Comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and the effective portions of changes in the fair value of derivatives.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company accounts for its derivative instruments and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133 (“SFAS 133”), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and its corresponding amendments under SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — An Amendment of SFAS 133. SFAS 133 requires the Company to measure every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) at fair value and record them in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the changes in fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the current period. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company was not party to any derivative contract designated as a fair value hedge.

The Company actively manages its ratio of fixed-to-floating rate debt. To manage its fixed and floating rate debt in a cost-effective manner, the Company, from time to time, enters into interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges, under which it agrees to exchange various combinations of fixed and/or variable interest rates based on agreed upon notional amounts. See Note 8.

New Pronouncements

As of January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No 145 (“SFAS 145”), Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. In adopting SFAS 145, the Company has reclassified an extraordinary item recorded during 2001 relating to the write-off of $1.1 million of unamortized deferred financing costs as interest expense.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” an interpretation of ARB 51. FIN 46 provides guidance on identifying entities for which control is achieved through means other than through voting rights (a “variable interest entity” or “VIE”), and how to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate a VIE. This new models for consolidation applies to an entity which either (1) the equity investors (if any) do not have a controlling financial interest or (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without receiving additional subordinated financial interest from other parties. The provisions of this interpretation apply to the first fiscal year or interim period ending after December 15, 2003.

The Company was originally required to implement the consolidation guidance established in Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, immediately for new or modified transactions and by July 1, 2003 for the Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) with which the Company became involved prior to February 1, 2003. However, in October 2003 and December 2003, the FASB deferred application of FIN 46 twice from July 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003, and then to March 31, 2004 for VIEs entered into prior to February 1, 2003. The Company is in process of determining whether it will need to consolidate previously unconsolidated VIEs or to deconsolidate previously consolidated VIEs. Based upon its relationships with such entities, the Company believes that the implementation of the consolidation guidance will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 (“SFAS 150”), Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS 150 generally applies to instruments that are mandatorily redeemable, that represent obligations that will be settled with a variable number of the Company’s shares, or that represent an obligation to purchase a fixed number of the Company’s shares. For instruments within its scope, the statement requires classification as a liability with initial measurement at fair value. Subsequent measurement depends upon the certainty of the terms of the settlement (amount, timing) and whether the obligation will be settled by a transfer of assets or by issuance of a variable number of equity shares. SFAS 150 is applicable now for instruments issued since SFAS 150 was issued, and as of July 1, 2003, for instruments that predate SFAS 150’s issuance. On November 7, 2003, the FASB issued Financial Statement Position 150-3 which among other things deferred indefinitely certain portions of SFAS 150 affecting the accounting for minority interests representing non-controlling interests in finite life entities. The adoption of SFAS 150, as modified, did not have a significant effect at adoption nor is it expected to have a significant prospective impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or comprehensive income.

Emerging Issue Task Force 00-21 (“EITF 00-21”), Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, issued during the fourth quarter of 2003, provides guidance on revenue recognition for revenues derived from a single contract that contains multiple products or services. EITF 00-21 also provides additional requirements to determine when these revenues may be recorded separately for accounting purposes. EITF 00-21 did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2003, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”), Revenue Recognition, which supercedes SAB 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. SAB 104’s primary purpose is to rescind the accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, superceded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21. SAB 104 did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

MINORITY INTEREST

Minority interest is comprised of Class A Units of limited partnership interest (“Class A Units”) and Series B Preferred Units of limited partnership interest (“Series B Preferred Units”). The Operating Partnership issued these interests to persons that contributed assets to the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is obligated to redeem, at the request of a holder, each Class A Unit for cash or one Common Share, at the option of the Company. Each Series B Preferred Unit has a stated value of $50.00

F-13

and is convertible, at the option of the holder, into Class A Units at a conversion price of $28.00. The Series B Preferred Units bear a preferred distribution of 7.25% per annum, subject to an increase in the event quarterly distributions paid to holders of Common Shares exceed $0.51 per share. Income allocated to minority interest includes the amount of the Series B Preferred Unit distribution and the prorata share of net income of the Operating Partnership allocated to the Class A Units. The Company declared distributions of $7.1 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001 to the holders of Series B Preferred Units and $3.1 million in 2003, $3.3 million in 2002 and $3.7 million in 2001 to holders of Class A Units. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had the following Class A Units and Series B Preferred Units held by third party investors:

    As of December 31,

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

The Company’s acquisitions were accounted for by the purchase method. The results of each acquired property are included in the Company’s results of operations from their respective purchase dates.

2003

During 2003, the Company sold eight office properties containing an aggregate of approximately 343,000 net rentable square feet, two industrial properties containing an aggregate of approximately 131,000 net rentable square feet and four parcels of land containing an aggregate of approximately 24.1 acres for an aggregate of $45.6 million. In December 2003, the Company sold two office properties containing an aggregate of approximately 633,000 net rentable square feet for an aggregate of $112.8 million, of which $52.9 million of proceeds were used to pay off existing mortgage notes payable secured by the two properties. The Company retained a 20% interest in the venture that purchased the properties. The Company recognized a gain on the partial sale of approximately $18.5 million, which is recorded in net gain on sale of real estate interests due to a continuing 20% interest that the Company has maintained in the properties for the portion sold and deferred the gain on the piece retained.. The gain on sale and historical results for these properties have not been reflected as discontinued operations because of the Company’s continuing involvement. The Company also purchased five office properties containing approximately 360,000 net rentable square feet and one parcel of land containing approximately 10.0 acres for an aggregate of $67.8 million.

2002

During 2002, the Company sold 23 office properties containing an aggregate of 1.4 million net rentable square feet, 20 industrial properties containing an aggregate of .9 million net rentable square feet and two parcels of land containing an aggregate of 12.8 acres for an aggregate of $190.8 million, realizing a net gain of $8.6 million before minority interest. The Company also purchased seven office properties containing 617,000 net rentable square feet and one parcel of land containing 9.0 acres for an aggregate of $99.1 million.

2001

During 2001, the Company sold three office and eight industrial properties, containing 440,000 net rentable square feet, and four parcels of land, containing 15.8 acres, for $31.3 million, realizing a net gain of $4.5 million. Seven of the properties were sold for $21.6 million realizing an aggregate gain of $4.3 million, four of the properties were sold for $7.1 million, realizing an aggregate loss of $.7 million and four land parcels were sold for $2.6 million realizing an aggregate gain of $.9 million. The Company also acquired two office properties, containing 146,000 net rentable square feet, and three parcels of land, containing 36.0 acres, for $31.5 million, of which $4.2 million was satisfied with an exchange of property.

In addition to the sales and acquisitions above, the Company consummated an exchange of properties with Prentiss Properties Acquisition Partners, L.P. (“Prentiss”) during 2001. The Company acquired from Prentiss 30 properties (29 office and 1 industrial) containing 1.6 million net rentable square feet and 6.9 acres of developable land for total consideration of $215.2 million. The Company conveyed to Prentiss four office properties located in Northern Virginia that contain an aggregate of 657,000 net rentable square feet, assumed $79.7 million of mortgage debt secured by certain of the Prentiss properties, issued a $7.8 million promissory note, paid $15.9 million at closing and agreed to make additional payments totaling $7.0 million (including $5.4 million of payments discounted at 7.5%) over a three-year period subsequent to closing. The Company also contributed to Prentiss its interest in a real estate venture that owns two additional office properties that contain an aggregate of 452,000 net rentable square feet and received a combination of preferred and common units of limited partnership interest in Prentiss having a value of $10.7 million, as of the closing. In addition as part of the Prentiss transaction in June 2001, the Company purchased a 103,000 square foot building then under construction for $4.2 million and six acres of related developable land for $5.7 million.

6.
INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE VENTURES

As of December 31, 2003, the Company had an aggregate investment of approximately $15.9 million in ten Real Estate Ventures (net of returns of investment received by the Company). The Company formed these ventures with unaffiliated third parties to develop office properties or to acquire land in anticipation of possible development of office properties. Nine of the Real Estate Ventures own ten office buildings that contain an aggregate of approximately 1.8 million net rentable square feet and one Real Estate Venture developed a hotel property that contains 137 rooms.

The Company accounts for its non-controlling interests in the Real Estate Ventures using the equity method. Non-controlling ownership interests generally range from 6% to 65%. Ownership percentages represent the Company’s entitlement to residual distributions after payments of priority returns. The Company’s investments, initially recorded at cost, are subsequently adjusted for the Company’s net equity in the ventures’ income or loss and cash contributions and distributions.

INDEBTEDNESS
 

Credit Facility

 

The Company utilizes credit facility borrowings for general business purposes, including the acquisition of properties and the repayment of other debt. The Company maintains a $500 million unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that matures in June 2004. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at 30-day LIBOR (LIBOR was 1.12% at December 31, 2003) plus 1.5% per annum, with the spread over LIBOR subject to reductions from .10% to .25% or increases of .25% based on the Company’s leverage. As of December 31, 2003, the Company had $305.0 million of borrowings and $10.7 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility, leaving $184.3 million of unused availability. The weighted-average interest rate on the Company’s unsecured credit facilities was 4.60% in 2003, 5.41% in 2002, and 6.48% in 2001.

 
Unsecured Term Loan

The Company also maintains a $100 million term loan. The term loan is unsecured and matures on July 15, 2005, subject to two extensions of one year each upon payment of an extension fee and the absence of any defaults at the time of each extension. There are no scheduled principal payments prior to maturity. The term loan bears interest at a spread over the one, two, three or six month LIBOR that varies between 1.05% and 1.90% per annum (1.12% as of December 31, 2003), based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The weighted-average interest rate on the Company’s term loan was 3.0% in 2003 and 3.0% in 2002.

Mortgage Notes Payable

As of December 31, 2003, the Company had $462.7 million of mortgage notes payable, secured by 93 of the Properties and certain land holdings. Fixed rate mortgages, totaling $402.3 million, require payments of principal and/or interest (or imputed interest) at rates ranging from 7.00% to 9.25% per annum and mature on dates from November 2004 through July 2027. Variable rate mortgages, totaling $60.4 million, require payments of principal and/or interest at rates ranging from 30-day LIBOR plus .76% to 1.60% per annum or 75% of prime (prime rate was 4.00% at December 31, 2003) and mature on dates from March 2004 through July 2027. The weighted-average interest rate on the Company’s mortgages was 7.09% in 2003, 7.27% in 2002, and 7.39% in 2001.

Debt Covenants

The Credit Facility and Term Loan require the maintenance of certain ratios related to minimum net worth, debt-to-total capitalization and fixed charge coverage and various non-financial covenants. As of December 31, 2003, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. As of December 31, 2003, the carrying value of the Company’s debt was below fair market value by approximately $85.7 million, as determined by using year-end interest rates and market conditions.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND USE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
Risk Management

In the normal course of its on-going business operations, the Company encounters economic risk. There are three main components of economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its interest-bearing liabilities. Credit risk is the risk of inability or unwillingness of tenants to make contractually required payments. Market risk is the risk of declines in the value of properties due to changes in rental rates, interest rates or other market factors affecting the valuation of properties held by the Company.

Use of Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company’s use of derivative instruments is limited to the utilization of interest rate agreements or other instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures and not for speculative purposes. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure, as well as to hedge specific transactions. The counterparties to these arrangements are major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The Company is potentially exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by these counterparties. However, because of the high credit ratings of the counterparties, the Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet these obligations as they come due. The Company does not hedge credit or property value market risks.

The Company formally assesses, both at inception of the hedge and on an on-going basis, whether each derivative is highly-effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. If management determines that a derivative is not highly-effective as a hedge or if a derivative ceases to be a highly-effective hedge, the Company will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively.

The following table summarizes the terms and fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments at December 31, 2003 (in thousands).

The Company has entered into interest rate swap and rate cap agreements designated as cash flow hedges that are designed to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on its variable rate debt. At December 31, 2003, the Company had interest rate swap agreements for notional principal amounts aggregating $175 million. The swap agreements effectively fix the 30-day LIBOR interest rate on $100 million of Credit Facility borrowings at 4.230% per annum and on $75 million of Credit Facility borrowings at 4.215% per annum, in each case until June 2004. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings under the Credit

 

F-19


Back to Contents

Facility, including the effect of cash flow hedges, was 4.60% in 2003, 5.41% in 2002 and 6.48% in 2001. The interest rate cap agreement effectively limits the interest rate on a mortgage with a notional value of $28 million at 8.7% per annum until July 2004. The notional amount at December 31, 2003 provides an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in these instruments at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.

As of December 31, 2003, the maximum length of time until which the Company was hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows was through June 2004. There was no gain or loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings during 2003, 2002 and 2001 as a result of the discontinuance of a cash flow hedge due to the probability of the original forecasted transaction not occurring.

Over time, the unrealized gains and losses held in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) will be reclassified to earnings in the same period(s) in which the hedged items are recognized in earnings. The current balance held in OCI is expected to be reclassified to earnings over the lives of the current hedging instruments, or for realized losses on forecasted debt transactions, over the related term of the debt obligation, as applicable. The Company expects that $3.0 million of net hedging losses will be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of tenants related to the Company’s investments or rental operations are engaged in similar business activities, or are located in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their inability to meet contractual obligations, including those to the Company, to be similarly affected. The Company regularly monitors its tenant base to assess potential concentrations of credit risk. Management believes the current credit risk portfolio is reasonably well diversified and does not contain any unusual concentration of credit risk. No tenant accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s rents during 2003, 2002 and 2001. See Note 12 for geographic segment information.

PREFERRED SHARES AND BENEFICIARIES’ EQUITY

In 1998, the Company issued $37.5 million of convertible preferred shares with a 7.25% coupon rate (the Series A Preferred Shares). Each Series A Preferred Share has a stated value of $50.00 and is convertible into Common Shares, at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $28.00. The Series A Preferred Shares distribution is subject to an increase, if quarterly distributions paid to Common Share holders exceeds $0.51 per share. The Series A Preferred Shares are perpetual and may be redeemed, at the Company’s option, at par beginning in January 2004.

In 1999, the Company issued $105.0 million of convertible preferred shares with an 8.75% coupon rate (the Series B Preferred Shares) for net proceeds of $94.8 million. Each Series B Preferred Share was convertible into one Common Shares and was entitled to quarterly dividends equal to the greater of $0.525 per share or the quarterly dividend on a Common Share. As part of the transaction in which the Company issued Series B Preferred Shares, the Company issued the holder of the Series B Preferred Shares seven-year warrants exercisable for 500,000 Common Shares at an exercise price of $24.00 per share.

On December 30, 2003, the holder converted 1,093,750 shares of the Series B Preferred Shares into 1,093,750 Common Shares, and the Company redeemed the remaining 3,281,250 Series B Preferred Shares at $27.50 per share for approximately $90.2 million (plus accrued distributions thereon for the period from October 1, 2003 through the redemption date) and purchased 250,000 warrants with an exercise price of $24.00 per share for approximately $1.2 million. The Company incurred a charge of $20.6 million associated with the redemption/conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares.

On December 30, 2003, the Company also issued 2,000,000 shares of 7.50% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares for net proceeds of $48.1 million. The Series C Preferred Shares are perpetual. The Company may not redeem Series C Preferred Shares before December 30, 2008 except to preserve its REIT status. On or after December 30, 2008, the Company, at its option, may redeem Series C Preferred Shares, in whole or in part, by paying $25.00 per share plus accrued but unpaid dividends.

The Company’s Board of Trustees has approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 4,000,000 of its outstanding Common Shares. Through December 31, 2003, the

Based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the estimated weighted-average fair value of stock options granted was $2.51 in 2002. Assumptions made in determining estimates of fair value include: risk-free interest rate of 2.7% in 2002, a volatility factor of .280 in 2002, a dividend yield of 8.4% in 2002, and a weighted-average life expectancy of 3 years in 2002.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company voluntarily adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, prospectively for all employee awards granted, modified, or settled after January 1, 2002 (see Note 2). Accordingly, the Company recorded compensation expense of $104,000 in 2003 and $43,000 in 2002. This compensation expense relates to the Company’s grant of 100,000 stock options during 2002.

The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan for its employees. Each employee may contribute up to 100% of annual compensation, subject to specific limitations under the Internal Revenue Code. At its discretion, the Company can make matching contributions equal to a percentage of the employee’s elective contribution and profit sharing contributions. Employees vest in employer contributions over a three-year service period. The Company contributions were $821,000 in 2003, $816,000 in 2002 and $669,000 in 2001.

Securities totaling 6,558,632 in 2003, 11,256,776 in 2002 and 11,622,922 in 2001 were excluded from the earnings per share computations above as their effect would have been antidilutive. Certain preferred equity and preferred operating partnership units would participate in earnings at certain levels whether or not distributed. These thresholds have not been met in years presented and therefore, no additional participation has occurred.

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In 1998, the Board authorized the Company to make loans totaling up to $5.0 million to enable employees of the Company to purchase Common Shares at fair market value. The loans have five-year terms, are full recourse, and are secured by the Common Shares purchased. Interest, payable quarterly, accrues on the loans at the lower of the interest rate borne on borrowings under the Company’s Credit Facility or a rate based on the dividend payments on the Common Shares. As of December 31, 2003, the interest rate was 2.62% per annum. The loans are payable at the earlier of the stated maturity date or 90 days following the employee’s termination. As of December 31, 2003, the outstanding balance of these loans totaled $1.5 million and were secured by an aggregate of 85,163 Common Shares.

The Company owns 384,615 shares of US Realtel, Inc. (“USR”) Common Stock and holds warrants exercisable for 600,000 additional shares. The warrants have an exercise price of $8.00 per share and expire on December 31, 2004. In addition, the Company held warrants exercisable for 123,077 shares at an exercise price of $3.25, and these warrants expire on August 15, 2005. As of December 31, 2003, the Company’s recorded value for its investment in USR was $1.1 million. An officer of the Company holds a position on USR’s Board of Directors.

In February 2000, the Company loaned an aggregate of $2.5 million to two executive officers to enable them to purchase Common Shares of the Company. One loan had a four-year term and bears interest at the lower of the Company’s cost of funds or a rate based on the dividend payable on the Common Shares, but not to exceed 10% annum. This loan was subject to forgiveness over a three-year period, with the amount of forgiveness tied to the Company’s total shareholder return compared to the total shareholder return of peer group companies. This loan was also subject to forgiveness in the event of a change of control of the Company. This loan was reflected as a reduction in beneficiaries equity. In 2001, the Company recorded a $4.1 million charge to restructure the other loan in connection with the executive’s transition to a non-executive, non-managerial status. Principal and interest totaling $1.0 million was forgiven related to these loans in 2003 and $.9 million in 2002 and 2001.

In connection with the sale by the Company of a land parcel in 2003, the Company paid a $42,000 commission to Kevin Nichols, son of Anthony A. Nichols, Sr., Chairman of the Board of the Company, for brokerage services relating to the sale.

Robert Larson, a Trustee of the Company, is a managing director of Lazard Freres & Co. LLC (“Lazard”). The Company paid Lazard a fee of approximately $909,000 for investment banking services related to the Company’s sale of two office properties to a Real Estate Venture in the fourth quarter of 2003.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Legal Proceedings

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

The Company is a defendant in a case in which the plaintiffs allege that the Company breached its obligation to purchase a portfolio of properties of approximately $83.0 million. On July 9, 1999, the Superior Court of New Jersey, Camden County, dismissed the complaint against the Company with prejudice. Plaintiffs subsequently filed a motion for reconsideration, which motion the Superior Court denied. Plaintiffs then appealed to the Appellate Division, which is the intermediate appellate level court in New Jersey. In December 2000, the Appellate Division affirmed in part and reversed in part the Chancery Division’s earlier dismissal of the entire action. The Appellate Division affirmed the dismissal of the non-contractual counts in the Complaint, but reversed the contract and reformation counts and remanded these to the lower court for further proceedings. The Company sought review of this decision by the Supreme Court of New Jersey, but that Court declined to consider the appeal. The case thereafter returned to the Chancery Division, where written and oral discovery were conducted in 2002 and in the first quarter of 2003. Discovery terminated on February 14, 2003. The Company filed a motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of all counts against it, and judgment for the Company on our counterclaim. The Chancery Division granted the Company’s summary judgment motion on March 25, 2003 and dismissed the case with prejudice. Plaintiffs appealed the judgment in our favor, and the Company does not know whether plaintiffs will be successful in their appeal.

There have been recent reports of lawsuits against owners and managers of multifamily and office properties asserting claims of personal injury and property damage caused by the presence of mold in residential units or office space. The Company has been named as a defendant in two lawsuits that allege personal injury as a result of the presence of mold. Unspecified damages are sought. The Company has referred these lawsuits to its environmental insurance carrier and, as of the date of this Form 10-K, the insurance carrier is tendering a defense to these claims.

Letters-of-Credit

In connection with certain mortgages, the Company is required to maintain leasing and capital reserve accounts with the mortgage lenders through letters-of-credit which totaled $11.5 million at December 31, 2003. The Company is also required to maintain escrow accounts for taxes, insurance and tenant security

deposits that amounted to $14.4 million at December 31, 2003. The related tenant rents are deposited into the loan servicer’s depository accounts, which are used to fund debt service, operating expenses, capital expenditures and the escrow and reserve accounts, as necessary. Any excess cash is included in cash and cash equivalents.

Other Commitments

As of December 31, 2003, the Company owned 446 acres of land for future development and held options to purchase 61 additional acres.
