Item 2.02.              Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On October 30, 2006, the Registrant issued a press release relating to its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.  A copy of the press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information included herein, including the exhibits, shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose, including the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or subject to liabilities of that Section.  The information included herein, including the exhibits, shall also not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

The Registrant uses non-GAAP financial measures in earnings press releases and information furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Registrant believes that these measures are helpful to investors in measuring its performance and comparing such performance to other real estate investment trusts (“REITs”).  Descriptions of these measures are set forth below.

Earnings per diluted share (“diluted EPS”), as adjusted for issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred shares

This measure is defined as diluted EPS adjusted to eliminate an accounting charge for original issuance costs associated with the redemption of preferred shares of beneficial interest (“preferred shares”).  The accounting charge pertains to a restructuring of the Company’s equity and is not indicative of normal operations.  As such, the Registrant believes that a measure that excludes the accounting charge is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating its operating performance.  The Registrant believes that diluted EPS is the most comparable GAAP measure to this measure.  A material limitation to this measure is that it does not reflect the effect of preferred share redemptions in accordance with GAAP; the Registrant compensates for this limitation by using diluted EPS and then supplementing its evaluation of that measure with the use of the non-GAAP measure.

Funds from operations (“FFO”)

Funds from operations (“FFO”) is defined as net income computed using GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  Gains from sales of newly-developed properties less accumulated depreciation, if any, required under GAAP are included in FFO on the basis that development services are the primary revenue generating activity; the Registrant believes that inclusion of these development gains is in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ (“NAREIT”) definition of FFO, although others may interpret the definition differently.

Accounting for real estate assets using historical cost accounting under GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time.  NAREIT stated in its April 2002 White Paper on Funds from Operations that “since real estate asset values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves.”  As a result, the concept of FFO was created by NAREIT for the REIT industry to “address this problem.”  The Registrant agrees with the concept of FFO and believes that FFO is useful to investors as a supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate properties and excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization, FFO can help one compare the Registrant’s operating performance

2




between periods.  In addition, since most equity REITs provide FFO information to the investment community, the Registrant believes that FFO is useful to investors as a supplemental measure for comparing its results to those of other equity REITs. The Registrant believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO.

Since FFO excludes certain items includable in net income, reliance on the measure has limitations; management compensates for these limitations by using the measure simply as a supplemental measure that is weighed in the balance with other GAAP and non-GAAP measures.  FFO is not necessarily an indication of the Registrant’s cash flow available to fund cash needs.  Additionally, it should not be used as an alternative to net income when evaluating the Registrant’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities when evaluating the Registrant’s liquidity or ability to make cash distributions or pay debt service.  The FFO presented by the Registrant may not be comparable to the FFO presented by other REITs since they may interpret the current NAREIT definition of FFO differently or they may not use the current NAREIT definition of FFO.

Funds from operations-Basic (“Basic FFO”)

Basic FFO is FFO adjusted to (1) subtract preferred share dividends and (2) add back GAAP net income allocated to common units in Corporate Office Properties, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) not owned by the Registrant.  With these adjustments, Basic FFO represents FFO available to common shareholders and common unitholders.  Common units in the Operating Partnership are substantially similar to common shares of beneficial interest in the Registrant (“common shares”); common units in the Operating Partnership are also exchangeable into common shares, subject to certain conditions.  The Registrant believes that Basic FFO is useful to investors due to the close correlation of common units to common shares.  The Registrant believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Basic FFO. Basic FFO has essentially the same limitations as FFO; management compensates for these limitations in essentially the same manner as described above for FFO.

FFO per diluted share or diluted FFO per common share (“Diluted FFO per share”)

Diluted FFO per share is (1) Basic FFO adjusted to add back any convertible preferred share dividends and any other changes in Basic FFO that would result from the assumed conversion of securities that are convertible or exchangeable into common shares divided by (2) the sum of the (a) weighted average common shares outstanding during a period, (b) weighted average common units outstanding during a period and (c) weighted average number of potential additional common shares that would have been outstanding during a period if other securities that are convertible or exchangeable into common shares were converted or exchanged.  However, the computation of Diluted FFO per share does not assume conversion of securities that are convertible into common shares if the conversion of those securities would increase Diluted FFO per share in a given period.  The Registrant believes that Diluted FFO per share is useful to investors because it provides investors with a further context for evaluating its FFO results in the same manner that investors use earnings per share in evaluating net income available to common shareholders.  In addition, since most equity REITs provide Diluted FFO per share information to the investment community, the Registrant believes Diluted FFO per share is a useful supplemental measure for comparing the Registrant to other equity REITs.  The Registrant believes that diluted EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Diluted FFO per share.  Diluted FFO per share has most of the same limitations as Diluted FFO (described below); management compensates for these limitations in essentially the same manner as described below for Diluted FFO.

Diluted funds from operations or funds from operations-diluted (“Diluted FFO”)

Diluted FFO is Basic FFO adjusted to add back any convertible preferred share dividends and any

3




other changes in Basic FFO that would result from the assumed conversion of securities that are convertible or exchangeable into common shares.  However, the computation of Diluted FFO does not assume conversion of securities that are convertible into common shares if the conversion of those securities would increase Diluted FFO per share in a given period.  The Registrant believes that Diluted FFO is useful to investors because it is the numerator used to compute Diluted FFO per share.  In addition, since most equity REITs provide Diluted FFO information to the investment community, the Registrant believes Diluted FFO is a useful supplemental measure for comparing the Registrant to other equity REITs.  The Registrant believes that the numerator to diluted EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Diluted FFO.  Since Diluted FFO excludes certain items includable in the numerator to diluted EPS, reliance on the measure has limitations; management compensates for these limitations by using the measure simply as a supplemental measure that is weighed in the balance with other GAAP and non-GAAP measures.  Diluted FFO is not necessarily an indication of the Registrant’s cash flow available to fund cash needs.  Additionally, it should not be used as an alternative to net income when evaluating the Registrant’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities when evaluating the Registrant’s liquidity or ability to make cash distributions or pay debt service.  The Diluted FFO presented by the Registrant may not be comparable to the Diluted FFO presented by other REITs.

FFO-diluted, as adjusted for issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred shares

This measure is defined as Diluted FFO adjusted to eliminate an accounting charge for original issuance costs associated with the redemption of preferred shares of beneficial interest.  The accounting charge pertains to a restructuring of the Company’s equity and is not indicative of normal operations.  As such, the Registrant believes that a measure that excludes the accounting charge is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating its operating performance.  The Registrant believes that the numerator to diluted EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to this non-GAAP measure.  Diluted FFO, as adjusted for issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred shares, has essentially the same limitations as Diluted FFO, as well as the further limitation of not reflecting the effect of the preferred share redemption in accordance with GAAP; management compensates for these limitations in essentially the same manner as described above for Diluted FFO.

FFO per diluted share, as adjusted for issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred shares

This measure is defined as (1) Diluted FFO adjusted to eliminate an accounting charge for original issuance costs associated with the redemption of preferred shares of beneficial interest divided by (2) the sum of the (a) weighted average common shares outstanding during a period, (b) weighted average common units outstanding during a period and (c) weighted average number of potential additional common shares that would have been outstanding during a period if other securities that are convertible or exchangeable into common shares were converted or exchanged.  However, the computation of the denominator for this measure does not assume conversion of securities that are convertible into common shares if the conversion of those securities would increase the measure in a given period.  The accounting charge pertains to a restructuring of the Company’s equity and is not indicative of normal operations.  As such, the Registrant believes that a measure that excludes the accounting charge is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating its operating performance.  The Registrant believes that diluted EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP measure.  This measure has most of the same limitations as Diluted FFO (described above), as well as the further limitation of not reflecting the effect of the preferred share redemption in accordance with GAAP; management compensates for these limitations in essentially the same manner as described above for Diluted FFO.

Adjusted funds from operations-diluted (“Diluted AFFO”)

Diluted AFFO is Diluted FFO adjusted for the following: (1) the elimination of the effect of (a) noncash rental revenues (comprised of straight-line rental adjustments, which includes the amortization of recurring tenant incentives, and amortization of deferred market rental revenue, both

4




of which are described under “Cash NOI” below) and (b) accounting charges for original issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred shares; and (2) recurring capital expenditures (defined below).  The Registrant believes that Diluted AFFO is an important supplemental measure of liquidity for an equity REIT because it provides management and investors with an indication of its ability to incur and service debt and to fund dividends and other cash needs.  In addition, since most equity REITs provide Diluted AFFO information to the investment community, the Registrant believes that Diluted AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for comparing the Registrant to other equity REITs.  The Registrant believes that the numerator to diluted EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Diluted AFFO.  Since Diluted AFFO excludes certain items includable in the numerator to diluted EPS, reliance on the measure has limitations; management compensates for these limitations by using the measure simply as a supplemental measure that is weighed in the balance with other GAAP and non-GAAP measures.  In addition, see the discussion below regarding the limitations of recurring capital expenditures, which is used to derive Diluted AFFO.  Diluted AFFO is not necessarily an indication of the Registrant’s cash flow available to fund cash needs.  Additionally, it should not be used as an alternative to net income when evaluating the Registrant’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities when evaluating the Registrant’s liquidity or ability to make cash distributions or pay debt service.  The Diluted AFFO presented by the Registrant may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other equity REITs.

Recurring capital expenditures

Recurring capital expenditures are defined as capital improvements, tenant improvements and incentives and leasing costs associated with operating properties that are not (1) items contemplated prior to the acquisition of a property, (2) improvements associated with the expansion of a building or its improvements, (3) renovations to a building which change the underlying classification of the building (for example, from industrial to office or Class C office to Class B office) or (4) capital improvements that represent the addition of something new to the property rather than the replacement of something (for example, the addition of a new heating and air conditioning unit that is not replacing one that was previously there).  The Registrant believes that recurring capital expenditures is an important measure of performance for a REIT because it provides a measure of the capital expenditures that the Registrant can expect to incur on an ongoing basis, which is significant to how the Registrant manages its business since these expenditures are funded using cash flow from operations.  As a result, the measure provides a further indication of the cash flow from operations that is available to fund other uses.  The Registrant believes that tenant improvements and incentives, capital improvements and leasing costs associated with operating properties are the most directly comparable GAAP measures.  Recurring capital expenditures do not reflect all capital expenditures incurred by the Registrant for the periods reported; the Registrant compensates for this limitation by also using the comparable GAAP measure.  The recurring capital expenditures presented by the Registrant may not be comparable to the recurring capital expenditures presented by other REITs.

Net operating income (“NOI”)

NOI is total revenue from real estate operations, including rental revenue and tenant recoveries and other revenue, reduced by total property expenses associated with real estate operations, including discontinued operations; total property expenses, as used in this definition, do not include depreciation, amortization or interest expense associated with real estate operations.  The Registrant believes that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a REIT’s operating real estate because it provides a measure of the core real estate operations, rather than factoring in depreciation and amortization or corporate financing and general and administrative expenses; this measure is particularly useful in the opinion of the Registrant in evaluating the performance of geographic segments, same-office property groupings and individual properties.  The

5




Registrant believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI.  The measure excludes many items that are includable in net income, including construction contract and other service operations revenues, as well as expenses including those mentioned above; management compensates for this limitation by using the measure simply as a supplemental measure that is weighed in the balance with other GAAP and non-GAAP measures.  It should not be used as an alternative to net income when evaluating the Registrant’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities when evaluating the Registrant’s liquidity or ability to make cash distributions or pay debt service.  NOI presented by the Registrant may not be comparable to NOI presented by other equity REITs that define the measure differently.

Cash net operating income (“Cash NOI”)

Cash NOI is NOI (defined above) adjusted to eliminate the effects of noncash rental revenues (comprised of straight-line rental adjustments, which includes the amortization of recurring tenant incentives, and amortization of deferred market rental revenue).  Under GAAP, rental revenue is recognized evenly over the term of tenant leases.  Many leases provide for contractual rent increases and the effect of accounting under GAAP for such leases is to accelerate the recognition of lease revenue.  Since some leases provide for periods under the lease in which rental concessions are provided to tenants, the effect of accounting under GAAP is to allocate rental revenue to such periods.  Also under GAAP, when a property is acquired, in-place operating leases carrying rents above or below market are valued as of the date of the acquisition; such value is then amortized into rental revenue over the lives of the related leases.

The Registrant believes that Cash NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a REIT’s operating real estate because it makes adjustments to NOI for revenue that is not associated with cash to the Registrant.  As is the case with NOI, the measure is useful in the opinion of the Registrant in evaluating and comparing the performance of geographic segments, same-office property groupings and individual properties, although, since it adjusts for noncash items, it provides management and investors with a further indication of the Registrant’s ability to incur and service debt and to fund dividends and other cash needs.  The Registrant believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Cash NOI.  The measure excludes many items that are includable in net income; management compensates for this limitation by using the measure simply as a supplemental measure that is weighed in the balance with other GAAP and non-GAAP measures.  It should not be used as an alternative to net income when evaluating the Registrant’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities when evaluating the Registrant’s liquidity or ability to make cash distributions or pay debt service.  The Cash NOI that the Registrant presents may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other equity REITs.

Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”)

EBITDA is net income adjusted for the effects of interest expense, depreciation and amortization, income taxes and minority interests.  The Registrant believes that EBITDA is an important measure of performance for a REIT because it provides a further tool to evaluate the Registrant’s ability to incur and service debt and to fund dividends and other cash needs that supplements the previously described non-GAAP measures and to compare the Registrant’s operating performance with that of other companies.  The Registrant believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA.  EBITDA excludes items that are included in net income, including some that require cash outlays; management compensates for this limitation by using the measure simply as a supplemental measure that is weighed in the balance with other GAAP and non-GAAP measures.   It should not be used as an alternative to net income when evaluating the Registrant’s financial performance or to cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities when

6




evaluating the Registrant’s liquidity or ability to make cash distributions or pay debt service.  Additionally, EBITDA as reported by the Registrant may not be comparable to EBITDA reported by other equity REITs.

EBITDA Interest Coverage Ratio

This measure divides EBITDA by interest expense on continuing and discontinued operations.  The Registrant believes that this ratio is a useful measure in evaluating the relationship of earnings to the total cash flow requirements for interest on loans associated with operating properties and, as such, is an important tool in the Registrant’s finance policy management.

EBITDA Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio

This measure divides EBITDA by the sum of (1) interest expense on continuing and discontinued operations, (2) dividends on preferred shares and (3) distributions on preferred units in the Operating Partnership not owned by the Registrant.  The Registrant believes that this ratio is a useful measure in evaluating the relationship of earnings to the cash flow requirements of (1) interest expense on loans associated with operating properties and (2) dividends to preferred equity holders and, as such, is an important tool in the Registrant’s finance policy management.

Diluted FFO Payout Ratio and Diluted AFFO Payout Ratio

These measures are defined as (1) the sum of (A) dividends on common shares and (B) dividends on restricted common and convertible preferred shares and distributions to holders of interests in the Operating Partnership when such dividends and distributions are included in Diluted FFO and Diluted AFFO, divided by (2) either Diluted FFO or Diluted AFFO.  The Registrant believes that these ratios are useful to investors as supplemental measures of its ability to make distributions to investors.  In addition, since most equity REITs provide these ratios, the Registrant believes they are useful supplemental measures for comparing the Registrant to other equity REITs.  The Registrant believes that Earnings Payout Ratio is the most comparable GAAP measure.  Earnings Payout Ratio is defined as dividends on common shares divided by net income available to common shareholders.  Since Payout-FFO Diluted and Payout-AFFO Diluted are derived from Diluted FFO and Diluted AFFO, they share the limitations previously discussed for those measures; management compensates for these limitations by using the measures simply as supplemental measures that are weighed in the balance with other GAAP and non-GAAP measures.

Debt to Undepreciated Book Value of Real Estate Assets

This measure is defined as mortgage loans payable divided by net investment in real estate presented on the Registrant’s consolidated balance sheet excluding the effect of accumulated depreciation incurred to date on such real estate.  The Registrant believes that this measure is useful to management and investors as a supplemental measure of its borrowing levels.  In addition, since most equity REITs provide Debt to Undepreciated Book Value of Real Estate Asset information, the Registrant believes that this measure is a useful supplemental measure for comparing the Registrant to other equity REITs.  The Registrant believes that the measure of Debt to Total Assets, defined as mortgage loans payable divided by total assets, is the most comparable GAAP measure.  Debt to Undepreciated Book Value of Real Estate Assets excludes the effect of accumulated depreciation, other assets and other liabilities; management compensates for these limitations by using the measure simply as a supplemental measure that is weighed with the comparable GAAP measure and other GAAP and non-GAAP measures.

CORPORATE OFFICE PROPERTIES TRUST

REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2006 RESULTS

COLUMBIA, MD October 30, 2006 - Corporate Office Properties Trust (COPT) (NYSE: OFC) announced today financial and operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

Highlights

·                  Earnings per Share (“EPS”) diluted of $.33 for the third quarter of 2006 as compared to $.18 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2005. Net Income Available to Common Shareholders of $14.5 million for third quarter 2006 increased from $6.9 million for the comparable 2005 period. Included in third quarter 2006 net income is $12.7 million of gain on sales of real estate including amounts in income from discontinued operations, net of minority interests. Also included is an accounting charge of $1.8 million or ($.04) per share reflecting the issuance costs of the Series E preferred shares redeemed July 15, 2006. Without this accounting charge, earnings per share — diluted, as adjusted, would have been $.37 per share.

·                  Funds from Operations (“FFO”) per diluted share of $.46 for the third quarter 2006 down from $.47 per diluted share for third quarter 2005, representing a decrease of 2.1%. FFO diluted of $24.3 million for third quarter 2006, increased from $22.1 million for the comparable 2005 quarter. Included in the third quarter 2006 FFO was the accounting charge of $1.8 million or ($.04) per share for the Series E preferred share redemption. Without this charge, FFO per diluted share, as adjusted, would have been $.50 per share representing an increase of 6.5%. The Company also incurred approximately $250,000 of costs related to its headquarters move and write-offs of $217,000 for unamortized loan fees related to early repayment of long term and short term debt.

·                  $178.8 million in acquisitions including $49.8 million of land, so far this year.

·                  $88.3 million of dispositions including joint venture assets closed this year, toward the $100.0 million goal for 2006.




 

·                  94.0% occupied and 95.3% leased for the Company’s wholly owned portfolio as of September 30, 2006.

“We continue to position the Company for the future, gaining significant land control in our core markets. Our most recent acquisition, the former Fort Ritchie United States Army base, is approved for up to 1.7 million square feet of office space and 673 residential units. We now have over 1,200 acres under control that can support up to 11.2 million square feet of office development,” stated Randall M. Griffin, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As reflected by our 2007 guidance, you will now start to see the impact of this development pipeline as we increasingly place projects into service,” he added.

The weighted average remaining lease term for the portfolio was 4.9 years and the average rental rate (including tenant reimbursements of operating costs) was $20.74 per square foot.

During the quarter, 239,000 square feet was renewed, equating to a 60.7% renewal rate, at an average capital cost of $3.53 per square foot. Total rent on renewed space increased 18.2% on a straight-line basis and 10.2% on a cash basis.

For renewed and retenanted space of 553,000 square feet, total straight-line rent increased 2.9% and total rent on cash basis decreased 3.4%. The average committed capital cost for renewed and retenanted space was $18.17 per square foot.

Same office property cash NOI increased by 0.6% or $231,000 for the quarter compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2005. The Company’s same office portfolio consists of 120 properties and represents 73.7% of our wholly owned portfolio as of September 30, 2006.

Significant leases signed during the quarter include 81,000 square feet with KSI Services, Inc. to retenant the former PwC space at Pinnacle Towers in McLean, Virginia. This lease brings Pinnacle Towers to 96.9% leased and brings COPT’s Northern Virginia portfolio to 99.3% leased.

The Company recognized lease termination fees of $1.3 million, net of write-offs of related straight-line rents and accretion of intangible assets and liabilities, as compared to $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2005.

Development Activity

At quarter end September 30, the Company’s development pipeline consisted of:

·                  Ten buildings under construction totaling 1.2 million square feet for a total projected cost of $252.9 million, that are 67.4% leased.

·                  Nine buildings under development totaling 1.0 million square feet for a total projected cost of $216.4 million.

·                  Four projects under redevelopment totaling 727,000 square feet for a total projected cost of $87.8 million.

During the quarter the Company placed a 50,000 square foot development property that is 100.0% leased into service. The building, known as Patriot Park View, is located at 745 Space Center Drive in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Disposition Activity

During the quarter, the Company disposed of the following assets:

·                  Two office buildings totaling 259,000 square feet within its New Jersey portfolio for $42.8 million. This sale consisted of 695 Route 46, a joint venture property in which COPT owned a 20.0% interest and 710 Route 46, a wholly owned property.

·                  107,000 square foot office building in Hunt Valley, Maryland for $13.8 million.

·                  104,000 square foot office building in Baltimore City, Maryland for $20.3 million.

Financing and Capital Transactions

The Company completed the following transactions during the quarter:

·                  Increased its borrowing capacity under the Company’s unsecured line of credit from $400.0 million to $500.0 million and simultaneously repaid $60.2 million on two fixed rate loans with a weighted average interest rate of 7.8%.

·                  Redeemed all of its 1,150,000 outstanding 10.25% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, at a price of $25.00.

·                  Issued 3,390,000 Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares with a $25.00 per share par value and an annual dividend of 7.625%, generating net proceeds of $82.1 million after payment of the underwriters discount, but before offering expenses.

·                  Issued $200.0 million of Exchangeable Senior Notes. The notes are interest only with a fixed rate of 3.5% and may be exchanged at any time on or after September 20, 2011. Interest is payable semi-annually commencing March 15, 2007 and the notes mature in 2026. In connection with this offering, the Company repaid $186.4 million of floating rate debt at an average interest rate of 6.7%.

·                  Early repayment of fixed and floating rate debt during the quarter generated a $217,000 write-off in unamortized loan fees.

·                  10.7% increase in quarterly common dividend from $.28 to $.31 per share.

Subsequent Events

Since September 30, 2006, the Company has:

·                  Redeemed all of its 1,425,000 outstanding 9.875% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares at a price of $25.00, on October 15, 2006. The Company recognized a $2.1 million accounting charge to net income available to common shareholders related to the original issuance costs of the Series F. The Company projects that the accounting charge will reduce EPS for the quarter end and year ending December 2006 by ($.05) and FFO per share diluted by ($.04).

·                  Placed into service the 126,000 square foot development property at 322 Sentinel Drive (known as 322 NBP), that is 100.0% leased.

With the estimated $.08 charge to diluted FFO per share and $.08 charge to diluted EPS that the Company has incurred for the Series E and Series F preferred share redemptions, 2006 FFO guidance is $1.91 to $1.93, and EPS guidance is $.72 - $.74. The Company’s 2007 EPS guidance is $.44 — $.53 per diluted share, excluding any potential gains or losses from building sales.  The 2007 FFO guidance is $2.18 — $2.27 per diluted share.

(1)             Table excludes owner occupied leasing activity which represents 136,951 square feet with a weighted average remaining lease term of  6.3 as of September 30, 2006.

(2)             Total Annualized Rental Revenue is the monthly contractual base rent as of September 30, 2006 multiplied by 12 plus the estimated annualized expense reimbursements under existing office leases.

(3)             Order of tenants is based on Annualized Rent.

(4)             The weighting of the lease term was computed using Total Rental Revenue.

(5)             Many of our government leases are subject to early termination provisions which are customary to government leases. The weighted average remaining lease term was computed assuming no exercise of such early termination rights.

(6)             Includes affiliated organizations or agencies.

(7)             Merck & Co., Inc. subleases 219,065 rentable square feet from Unisys’ 960,349 leased rentable square feet in our Greater Philadelphia region.

(8)             This tenant will be vacating in the fourth quarter of 2006; however, its entire square footage has already been retenanted to our second-largest tenant, Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc.
