In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

At September 30, 2004, the Company had a share-based employee compensation plan. Prior to 2003, the Company accounted for the plan under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” prospectively for all employee option awards granted, modified, or settled after January 1, 2003. Option awards under the Company’s plan vest over three years. Therefore, the cost related to share-based employee compensation included in the determination of net income for 2004 and 2003 is less than that which would have been recognized if the fair value based method had been applied to all option awards since the original effective date of SFAS No. 123. 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 option awards in each period (in thousands, except per share amount).

The functional currency for the Company’s United Kingdom operation is pounds sterling. The financial statements for the United Kingdom operation are translated into US dollars prior to the consolidation of these financial statements with those of the Company.

Other comprehensive loss was $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and other comprehensive income was $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Other comprehensive income was $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $1.0 million for the same period in 2003.

Note 4: SFAS No. 144, “Accounting For The Impairment Or Disposal Of Long-Lived Assets”

Gain or loss on disposition on sales of land and development properties continues to be reflected as a component of income from continuing operations.

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

The Company has an ownership interest in and operates 441 industrial and 277 office properties located primarily in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern and Midwestern United States (the “Properties in Operation”) totaling approximately 60 million square feet. In addition, the Company has 18 properties under development (the “Properties under Development” and together with the Properties in Operation the “Properties”) and owns 1,109 acres of land, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use.

The Company focuses on creating value for shareholders and increasing profitability and cash flow. With respect to its Properties in Operation, the Company endeavors to maintain high occupancy levels while increasing rental rates. The Company pursues development opportunities that it believes will create value and yield attractive returns. The Company also acquires properties that it believes will create long-term value, and disposes of Properties that no longer fit within the Company’s strategic objectives or in situations where it can optimize cash proceeds. The Company’s operating results depend primarily upon income from rental operations and are substantially influenced by rental demand for the Properties in Operation.

During the third quarter of 2004, the Company continued to experience the effects of what has been a generally slow economy for the last several years. This economy has been particularly difficult for real estate landlords. These circumstances impacted many aspects of the Company’s business.

Our Properties in Operation, which represent over 95% of our revenue, were subjected to market conditions characterized by an oversupply of leaseable space and soft demand. These conditions resulted in downward pressure on rental rates and upward pressure on lease transaction costs related to tenant inducements (e.g. tenant improvement costs). In the face of these conditions, the Company nevertheless leased over 4 million square feet during the third quarter of 2004 and attained overall occupancy of 91.2%, which it believes represents performance that is better than market. Property level operating income for the “Same Store” properties (properties owned since January 1, 2003) decreased by 0.7% on a cash basis and by 0.3% on a straight line basis for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2003. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, property level operating income for the Same Store properties decreased by 0.8% on both a cash basis and a straight line basis, as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2003. Trends relating to occupancy, rental rate and transaction costs remained generally consistent from quarter to quarter in 2003 and through the first three quarters of 2004. See further discussion of Same Store results below. The Company believes that these trends for the Properties in Operation (i.e., downward pressure on rents, upward pressure on transaction costs) will continue in the aggregate, notwithstanding improvements in some markets. Nevertheless, the Company is hopeful that it will see some improvement in overall occupancy during 2005.

Conditions in 2004 for the acquisition of properties continue to be very competitive. During the third quarter of the year, the Company acquired eight buildings representing 1.9 million square feet for a total investment of $103.6 million. From January 1, 2004 through September 30, 2004, the Company invested $151.6 million in 2.6 million square feet of properties. The Company believes that the level of property acquisitions in 2004 will be in the $100 to $200 million range. For 2005, the Company believes that property acquisitions will be in the $200 to $300 million range and, similar to 2004, many of the acquired properties will be either vacant or underleased. The Company believes that these properties are more attractively priced and will positively contribute to earnings upon lease up and stabilization.

Dispositions of Properties that no longer fit within the Company’s strategic objectives or in situations where it can optimize cash proceeds have continued in 2004. The Company realized $6.3 million from the sale of Properties in Operation during the third quarter of 2004 and has realized in the aggregate $15.5 million from the sale of Properties in Operation and land in 2004 through September 30, 2004. The Company anticipates that dispositions will be in the $50 to $100 million range for 2004 and will be in the $75 to $150 million range in 2005.

In 2004, the Company has continued to pursue development opportunities. During the third quarter of 2004, the Company delivered $35.5 million ($62.9 million year to date) of development properties and initiated development of $33.1 million. This “pipeline” of development properties is at a relatively low level as compared to the Company’s historical pace of development which is appropriate given market conditions. The Company believes for the remainder of 2004 and in 2005, that conditions in certain markets support the initiation of inventory projects (i.e., projects that are

less than 75% leased prior to the commencement of construction) and that the Company will also develop properties on a build to suit basis. The Company believes that in 2005 it will bring into service from its development pipeline properties representing approximately $75 to $100 million of investment in operating real estate. The Company is also hopeful that it will be in a position in late 2004 or early 2005 to initiate development of One Pennsylvania Plaza, its proposed high-rise in Philadelphia’s central business district. Although the Company is in detailed discussions with Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”) and other prospective tenants for the property and is hopeful that these discussions will lead to sufficient leasing to justify the commencement of the development of the proposed 1.2 million square foot office tower, the Company has not to date entered into a lease with any tenant. Furthermore, the legislation that the Company and Comcast were pursuing that would have designated the site with certain tax advantages has not been approved by the Pennsylvania legislature. The Company is evaluating this and other factors to determine the project’s structure and feasibility. The land and projected costs associated with this project aggregate approximately $425 million. As of September 30, 2004, the Company had invested $70.7 million in the project and capitalized costs for the project for the third quarter were approximately $1 million. If the Company is unsuccessful in its leasing efforts, it may postpone, downsize or abandon the project with the result that future costs of the investment may be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized, and the Company may determine its investment is impaired, resulting in a loss.

The composition of the Company’s Properties in Operation as of September 30, 2004 and 2003 is as follows (in thousands, except dollars and percentages):

Geographic segment data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 are included in Note 3 to the Liberty Property Trust and Liberty Property Limited Partnership financial statements.

When used throughout this report, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “hopes” and “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements indicate that assumptions have been used that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual financial results or management plans and objectives to differ materially from those projected or expressed herein, including: the effect of national and regional economic conditions; rental demand; the Company’s ability to identify and secure additional properties and sites that meet its criteria for acquisition or development; the availability and cost of capital; the effect of prevailing market interest rates; and other risks described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements.

Refer to the Company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of critical accounting policies which include capitalized costs, allowances for doubtful accounts and impairment of real estate. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 there were no material changes to these policies.

The following discussion is based on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. It compares the results of operations of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 with the results of operations of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. As a result of the varying level of development, acquisition and disposition activities by the Company in 2004 and 2003, the overall operating results of the Company during such periods are not directly comparable. However, certain data, including the Same Store comparison, do lend themselves to direct comparison (see reconciliation to comparable GAAP financial measure below).

This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report.

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003.

The Company’s average gross investment in operating real estate owned for the three months ended September 30, 2004 increased to $4,085.8 million from $3,776.7 million at September 30, 2003 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased to $4,016.6 million from $3,690.6 million at September 30, 2003. This increase resulted from the increased investment in real estate acquired or developed, partially offset by Property dispositions, bringing our portfolio from 56.3 million square feet of leaseable space as of September 30, 2003 to 60.3 million square feet of space as of September 30, 2004. This increased investment in operating real estate resulted in increases in rental revenue, rental property operating expenses, real estate taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense.

Total operating revenue increased to $165.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from $157.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003. This $7.9 million increase is primarily due to the net increase in investment in real estate, partially offset by a decrease in “Termination Fees” accepted during the three months ended September 30, 2004 totaling $2.7 million as compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003. “Termination Fees” are fees that the Company agrees to accept in consideration for permitting tenants to terminate their leases prior to the contractual expiration date. Termination Fees are included in rental revenue. Total operating revenue increased to $490.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $462.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. This $27.8 million increase was primarily due to the net increase in investment in real estate, partially offset by a decrease in Termination Fees accepted during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 totaling $9.0 million as compared to $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

The Company evaluates the performance of the Properties in Operation by reportable segment (see Note 3 to the Company’s financial statements). The property level operating income for the United Kingdom segment increased by 27.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to 2003. There was no significant change in property level operating income for the Company’s other segments. The increase in the United Kingdom segment results was primarily due to an increase in occupancy and rental rates in the latter period. The property level operating income for the Lehigh Valley, Mid-Atlantic and United Kingdom segments increased by 7.2%, 8.2% and 61.1%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to 2003. There was no significant change in property level operating income for the Company’s other segments. The increase in the Lehigh Valley segment is due to the delivery of $72.6 million in completed developments during 2003. These properties contributed to property level operating income for a partial period in 2003 as compared to a full nine months in 2004. The increase in the Mid-Atlantic segment resulted from property acquisitions that were made during 2003 and 2004. The increase in the United Kingdom segment is due to the purchase of Rouse Kent Limited on July 1, 2003.

Property level operating income, exclusive of Termination Fees, for the Same Store properties decreased by $339,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003 on a straight line basis (which recognizes rental revenue evenly over the life of the lease), and decreased by $650,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003 on a cash basis. These decreases of 0.3% and 0.7%, respectively, are primarily due to a decrease in rental rates partially offset by increases in occupancy.

Property level operating income, exclusive of Termination Fees, for the Same Store properties decreased by $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003 on a straight line basis, and decreased by $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003 on a cash basis. These decreases of 0.8% are due to the higher than usual level of unrecoverable operating expenses incurred in 2004.

Management generally considers the performance of the Same Store properties to be a useful financial performance measure because the results are directly comparable from period to period. Management further believes that the performance comparison should exclude Termination Fees since they are more event-specific and are not representative of ordinary performance results. In addition, Same Store property level operating income exclusive of Termination Fees is considered by management to be a more reliable indicator of the portfolio’s baseline performance. The Same Store properties consist of the 636 properties totaling approximately 50.3 million square feet owned since January 1, 2003.

Set forth below is a schedule comparing the property level operating income, on a straight line basis and on a cash basis, for the Same Store properties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. Same Store property level income is a non-GAAP measure and does not represent income before property dispositions, income taxes,

minority interest and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures because it does not reflect the consolidated operations of the Company. Investors should review Same Store results, along with Funds from operations (see Liquidity and Capital Resources section), GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities when trying to understand the equity REIT’s operating performance. Also, set forth below is a reconciliation of Same Store property level operating income to net income (in thousands).

General and administrative expenses increased to $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and increased to $25.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $20.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003 is primarily due to an increase in (1) salaries and wages, (2) costs related to the Company’s enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) initiative, (3) costs related to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (4) costs related to canceled transactions and (5) the expensing of stock options.

Depreciation and amortization increased to $34.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from $30.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and increased to $100.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $90.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003 is primarily due to the increase in gross investment in operating real estate during the respective periods and particularly the increased investment in leasing costs, which are amortized over a relatively shorter period that the depreciable lives for building and improvements.

Interest expense decreased to $30.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from $31.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and decreased to $92.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004

from $92.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The decreases are due to decreases in the weighted average interest rates for the periods, which were 6.67% for the three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to 6.92% for the three months ended September 30, 2003, and 6.74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to 6.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. These decreases are primarily due to the issuance in August 2004 of 5.65% senior unsecured notes and the maturity in August 2004 of 7.1% senior unsecured notes. The effect of the decrease in interest rates was partially offset by increases in the average debt outstanding for the respective periods, which were $2,009.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $1,877.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and $1,954.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $1,880.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

Costs directly related to the development of rental properties and land being readied for development are capitalized. Capitalized development costs include interest, development-related salaries, property taxes, insurance and other directly identifiable costs during the period of development. Capitalized interest for the three months ended September 30, 2004 was $3.5 million as compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, and was $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $8.1 million for the same period in 2003. Included in capitalized interest costs are the interest costs relating to the Company’s $70.7 million investment (as of September 30, 2004) in its proposed office tower in Philadelphia’s central business district. Capitalized development-related salaries and benefits historically represent approximately 1% of the cost of developed properties brought into service.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s net income increased to $39.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from $39.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, and decreased to $115.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $125.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

As of September 30, 2004, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $43.6 million, including $21.8 million in restricted cash.

Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased to $205.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $200.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. This $5.1 million increase is primarily due to fluctuations in operating assets and liabilities during the respective periods. Net cash flow provided by operations is the primary source of liquidity to fund distributions to shareholders and for the recurring capital expenditures and leasing transaction costs for the Company’s Properties in Operation.

Net cash used in investing activities increased to $278.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $82.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. This $196.5 million increase primarily resulted from the increased investment in properties and in development in progress and land held for development and from the decreased proceeds from the disposition of land and properties.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $72.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $86.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. This $158.9 million change was primarily due to the issuance of $200 million of 5.65% senior unsecured notes due 2014 and an increase in net borrowings under the Company’s $350 million unsecured Credit Facility (the “$350 million Credit Facility”), partially offset by the repayment of $100 million of 7.1% senior unsecured notes, which matured on August 15, 2004. Net cash provided by or used in financing activities includes proceeds from the issuance of equity and debt net of debt repayments and shareholder distributions. Cash provided by financing activities is a source of capital utilized by the Company to fund investment activities.

The Company funds its development and acquisitions with long-term capital sources including proceeds from the disposition of Properties. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, these activities were funded through the $350 million Credit Facility. The interest rate on borrowings under the $350 million Credit Facility fluctuates based upon ratings from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group (“S&P”) and Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”). The current ratings for the Company’s senior unsecured debt are Baa2, BBB and BBB from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively. At these ratings, the interest rate for borrowings under the $350 million Credit Facility is 70 basis points over LIBOR. The $350 million Credit Facility expires in January 2006.

The Company uses debt financing to lower its overall cost of capital in an attempt to increase the return to shareholders. The Company staggers its debt maturities and maintains debt levels it considers to be prudent. In determining its debt levels, the Company considers various financial measures including the debt to gross assets ratio and the earnings to fixed charge coverage ratio. As of September 30, 2004 the Company’s debt to gross assets ratio was 43.8%, and for the three months ended September 30, 2004, the earnings to fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.9x. Debt to gross assets equals total long-term debt and borrowings under the $350 million Credit Facility divided by total assets plus accumulated depreciation. Earnings to fixed charges equals income before property dispositions and minority interest, including operating activity from discontinued operations, plus interest expense and depreciation and amortization (including depreciation and amortization on unconsolidated joint ventures) divided by interest expense, including capitalized interest, plus distributions on preferred units.

As of September 30, 2004, $371.4 million in mortgage loans and $1,455.0 million in unsecured notes were outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 7.2%. The interest rates on $1,749.6 million of mortgage loans and unsecured notes are fixed and range up to 8.8%. Interest rates on $76.8 million of mortgage loans float with the base rate of the respective lending bank or a municipal bond index. The weighted average remaining term for the mortgage loans and unsecured notes is 5.9 years.

The scheduled maturities and principal amortization of the Company’s mortgage loans, unsecured notes and borrowings under the $350 million Credit Facility and the related weighted average interest rates as of September 30, 2004 are as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

The Company anticipates that it will refinance or retire these maturities through its available sources of capital.

The Company has continued to focus on the performance of the Same Store portfolio. In addition, the Company has continued to pursue development and acquisition opportunities and the strategic disposition of certain properties. The Company attempts to outperform in its markets by maintaining higher than market occupancy levels and obtaining higher than market rental rates.

The Company believes that its existing sources of capital will provide sufficient funds to finance its continued development and acquisition activities. The scheduled deliveries of the 1.6 million square feet of Properties under Development as of September 30, 2004 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

The Company’s existing sources of capital include the public debt and equity markets, proceeds from Property dispositions and net cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, the Company expects to incur variable rate debt, including borrowings under the $350 million Credit Facility, from time to time.

The Company has an effective S-3 shelf registration statement on file with the SEC (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). As of October 28, 2004, pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, the Trust had the capacity to issue up to $586.1 million in equity securities and the Operating Partnership had the capacity to issue up to $125.1 million in debt securities.

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) has issued a standard definition for Funds from operations (as defined below). The SEC has agreed to the disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure on a per share basis in its Release No. 34-47226, Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The Company believes that the calculation of Funds from operations is helpful to investors and management as it is a measure of the Company’s operating performance that excludes depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions. As a result, year over year comparison of Funds from operations reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, management believes that Funds from operations provides useful information to the investment community about the Company’s financial performance when compared to other REIT’s since Funds from operations is generally recognized as the standard for reporting the operating performance of a REIT. Funds from operations available to common shareholders is defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Funds from operations available to common shareholders does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate that cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

Inflation has remained relatively low during the last three years, and as a result, it has not had a significant impact on the Company during this period. The $350 million Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate; therefore, the amount of interest payable under the $350 million Credit Facility will be influenced by changes in short-term interest rates, which tend to be sensitive to inflation. To the extent an increase in inflation would result in increased operating costs, such as in insurance, real estate taxes and utilities, substantially all of the tenants’ leases require the tenants to absorb these costs as part of their rental obligations. In addition, inflation also may have the effect of increasing market rental rates.

There have been no material changes to the Company’s exposure to market risk since its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report, are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

A controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2004 that have materially affected or are reasonable likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
