Stock Based Compensation
At June 30, 2005, 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 2005 and 2004 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).

Foreign Operations
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. Gains and losses resulting from this translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Other comprehensive loss was $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and was $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Other comprehensive loss was $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and other comprehensive income was $3.2 million for the same period in 2004. Upon sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of a foreign investment, the gain or loss on the sale will include a portion of the cumulative translation adjustments that have been previously recorded in other comprehensive income. The cumulative translation adjustments generally are recognized when funds are repatriated to the United States.
Note 2: Organization
The Trust is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (a “REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust’s assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by the Operating Partnership. The Trust is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owning 96.1% and 95.9% of the common equity of the Operating Partnership at June 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively. The Company provides leasing, property management, development, acquisition, and other tenant-related services for a portfolio of industrial and office properties which are located principally within the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern and Midwestern United States.
Note 3: Segment Information
The Company operates its portfolio of properties primarily throughout the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern and Midwestern United States. Additionally, the Company owns certain assets in the United Kingdom. The Company reviews the performance of the portfolio on a geographical basis. As such, the following regions are considered the Company’s reportable segments:
     
Reportable Segments   Markets
Delaware Valley
  Southeastern Pennsylvania; New Jersey
Midwest
  Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania; Michigan; Minnesota; Milwaukee; Chicago
Mid-Atlantic
  Maryland; Piedmont Triad, NC; Greenville, SC; Richmond; Virginia Beach
Florida
  Jacksonville; Orlando; Boca Raton; Tampa; Texas
United Kingdom
  County of Kent
The Company’s reportable segments are distinct business units which are each managed separately in order to concentrate market knowledge within a geographic area. Within these reportable segments, the Company derives its revenues from its two product types: industrial properties and office properties.
The Company evaluates the performance of the reportable segments based on property level operating income, which is calculated as rental revenue and operating expense reimbursement less rental property expenses and real estate taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those for the Company on a consolidated basis. The operating information by segment is as follows (in thousands):

Gain or loss on disposition on sales of land and development properties continues to be reflected as a component of income from continuing operations.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, during the three months ended June 30, 2005, the Company recognized a $4.5 million impairment loss on a portfolio of properties. The Company determined this impairment through a comparison of the aggregate future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the properties to the carrying value.
Note 5: Preferred Units
On June 16, 2005, the Company redeemed for $20.0 million its outstanding 9.125% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units and issued $20.0 million of 7.0% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units. The redemption resulted in a $0.5 million write off of Series C issuance costs.
On June 30, 2005, the Company raised $44.0 million through a private placement of 6.65% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units. The proceeds from this offering were used to pay down the outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
Note 6: Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2005, the FASB ratified its consensus in EITF Issue 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights” (Issue 04-5). The effective date for Issue 04-5 is June 29, 2005 for all new or modified partnerships and January 1, 2006 for our remaining partnerships for the applicable provisions. The adoption of the provisions of EITF 04-5 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Foreign Operations
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. Gains and losses resulting from this translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of owners’ equity. Other comprehensive loss was $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and was $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Other comprehensive loss was $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and other comprehensive income was $3.2 million for the same period in 2004. Upon sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of a foreign investment, the gain or loss on the sale will include a portion of the cumulative translation adjustments that have been previously recorded in other comprehensive income. The cumulative translation adjustments generally are recognized when funds are repatriated to the United States.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2002, net income and gain/(loss) on the disposition of real estate for properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2001 are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations. The proceeds from the disposition of properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 were $63.7 million and $93.0 million as compared to $0 and $5.5 million for the same periods in 2004. Below is a summary of the results of operations of the properties disposed of through the respective disposition dates (in thousands):

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, during the three months ended June 30, 2005, the Company recognized a $4.5 million impairment loss on a portfolio of properties. The Company determined this impairment through a comparison of the aggregate future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the properties to the carrying value.
Note 5: Preferred Units
On June 16, 2005, the Company redeemed for $20.0 million its outstanding 9.125% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units and issued $20.0 million of 7.0% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units. The redemption resulted in a $0.5 million write off of Series C issuance costs.
On June 30, 2005, the Company raised $44.0 million through a private placement of 6.65% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units. The proceeds from this offering were used to pay down the outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
The Company has an ownership interest in and operates 444 industrial and 287 office properties located primarily in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern and Midwestern United States (the “Properties in Operation”) totaling 63.1 million square feet. In addition, as of June 30, 2005, the Company had 25 properties under development (the “Properties under Development” and, together with the Properties in Operation, the “Properties”) and owned 1,607 acres of land, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use. Included within the 444 industrial properties above are 27 properties comprising 3.2 million square feet and included within the land above are 268 acres of developable land all owned by unconsolidated joint ventures.
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 acceptable returns. The Company also acquires properties which it believes will create long-term value, and disposes of Properties which 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.
In 2005, the Company continued to experience the effects of the generally slow real estate economy that has persisted since 2002. This economy has presented a particularly difficult real estate market for landlords. These circumstances impacted many aspects of the Company’s business.
Revenue from the Properties in Operation, which represent over 95% of the Company’s revenue, was 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. In the face of these conditions, the Company successfully leased 4.1 million square feet during the three months ended June 30, 2005 and attained occupancy of 89.9% as of that date, which it believes represents performance which is substantially better than market. The Company believes that these trends for the Properties in Operation (i.e., oversupply of leaseable space, downward pressure on rents, upward pressure on transaction costs), which have persisted in 2003 and 2004, will continue in the aggregate for the remainder of 2005, notwithstanding improvements in some markets. Although rental rates in certain markets are starting to stabilize and there will be selected increases in rents on renewal or replacement leases, we believe generally rents on renewal or replacement leases for 2005 will be less than rents on expiring leases.
Conditions in 2005 for the acquisition of properties continue to be very competitive. During the second quarter of 2005, however, the Company acquired nine buildings representing 1.4 million square feet and a total investment of $123.5 million. From January 1, 2005 through June 30, 2005, the Company invested $188.1 million in fourteen buildings representing 2.3 million square feet of operating properties. These acquisitions generally served to increase the presence or balance the product mix in markets the Company believes to have significant potential. For 2005, the Company believes that the level of property acquisitions will be in the $200 to $300 million range and certain of the acquired properties will be either vacant or underleased. The Company believes that these properties are attractively priced and will positively contribute to earnings upon lease up and stabilization.
Dispositions of Properties which no longer fit within the Company’s strategic objectives or in situations where the Company can optimize cash proceeds have continued in 2005. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company realized proceeds of $63.7 million from the sale of six operating properties representing 420,000 square feet. From January 1, 2005 through June 30, 2005, the Company realized in the aggregate proceeds of $93.0 million from the sale of eight operating properties representing 715,000 square feet. The Company anticipates that dispositions will be in the $75 to $150 million range for 2005. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2005, an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company has a 25% interest sold three properties representing 397,000 square feet for proceeds to the joint venture of $21.1 million.
In 2005, the Company continued to pursue development opportunities. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company brought into service four development properties representing 227,000 square feet and a Total Investment of $22.5 million and initiated $109.5 million in real estate development. As of June 30, 2005, the total project cost of the development properties is expected to be $737.2 million. The Company believes that in 2005 build-to-suit activity will

continue and that conditions in certain markets may continue to support the initiation of inventory projects (i.e., projects that are less than 75% leased prior to the commencement of construction). During the second quarter of 2005, the Company continued construction of a 1.2 million square foot office tower (Comcast Center) in Philadelphia’s central business district.

Forward-Looking 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.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 for a discussion of critical accounting policies which include capitalized costs, allowances for doubtful accounts, impairment of real estate and intangibles. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, there were no material changes to these policies.
Results of Operations
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 six months ended June 30, 2005 with the results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. As a result of the varying levels of development, acquisition and disposition activities by the Company in 2005 and 2004, 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.
This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report.
Comparison of Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2004.
The Company’s average gross investment in operating real estate owned for the three months ended June 30, 2005 increased to $4,334.9 million from $3,993.9 million at June 30, 2004 and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased to $4,308.1 million from $3,970.7 million at June 30, 2004. This increase resulted from the increased investment in real estate acquired or developed, partially offset by Property dispositions. This increased investment in operating real estate resulted in increases in rental revenue, rental property operating expenses and real estate taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense.

Total operating revenue increased to $178.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $160.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and increased to $348.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $320.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The $17.7 million increase during the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 was primarily due to the net increase in investment in operating real estate. “Termination Fees” which totaled $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $4.4 million for the same period in 2004 accounted for $7.3 million of the increase. The $28.6 million increase during the six month ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004 was primarily due to the net increase in investment in real estate. “Termination Fees” which totaled $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 accounted for $7.5 million of the increase. “Termination Fees” are fees that the Company agrees to accept in consideration for permitting certain tenants to terminate their leases prior to the contractual expiration date. Termination Fees are included in rental revenue.

(1)   The increases for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 versus the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 are primarily due to Termination Fees accepted in the three months ended June 30, 2005 of $8.9 million versus $4.1 million for the same period of 2004.
 
(2)   The increases for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 versus the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 are primarily due to an increase in occupancy and increased investment in operating real estate for the respective periods.
 
(3)   The increases for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 versus the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 are due to increased investment in operating real estate for the respective periods.
 
(4)   The increases for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 versus the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 are primarily due to Termination Fees accepted in the three months ended June 30, 2005 of $1.6 million versus $0 for the same period of 2004.

Property level operating income, exclusive of Termination Fees, for the Same Store properties decreased to $105.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $106.9 million for the three months ended June 30 2004, on a straight line basis (which recognizes rental revenue evenly over the life of the lease) and decreased to $104.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $103.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 on a cash basis. These decreases are primarily due to a decrease in occupancy.
Property level operating income, exclusive of Termination Fees, for the Same Store properties decreased to $212.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $214.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 on a straight line basis and remained flat at $209.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 on a cash basis. The decrease in Same Store performance on a straight line basis is primarily due to a decrease in occupancy.
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 654 properties totaling approximately 52.2 million square feet owned since January 1, 2004.
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 six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. Same Store property level operating income is a non-GAAP measure and does not represent income before property dispositions, income taxes and

minority interest 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 Resource section), GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities when trying to understand the Company’s operating performance. Also, set forth below is a reconciliation of Same Store property level operating income to net income.

General and administrative expenses increased to $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and increased to $17.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Increases in salaries related to increases in personnel consistent with the increase in the number of properties and the size of the Company were offset by decreases in costs relating to the Company’s investment in its enterprise resource planning software.
Depreciation and amortization increased to $37.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $33.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and increased to $72.3 million for the six months ended June 20, 2005 from $65.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The increases were 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 than buildings and improvements.
Interest expense increased to $33.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $29.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and increased to $66.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $59.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. These increases were due to an increase in the average debt outstanding for the respective periods, which was $2,260.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $1,930.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and $2,218.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $1,915.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The effect of the increases in the average debt outstanding was offset by decreases in the weighted average interest rates for the periods to 6.61% for the three months

ended June 30, 2005 from 6.75% in 2004 and to 6.60% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 6.78% for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
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 June 30, 2005 was $4.3 million as compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and was $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 2004. Capitalized development related salaries and benefits historically represent approximately 1% of the cost of developed properties brought into service.
Income from discontinued operations increased to $7.2 million from $0.2 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2004 and increased to $14.1 million from $2.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2004. The increase for both comparable periods is due to an increase in the level of property sales during the respective periods. For the three month period ended June 30, 2005, there was an impairment charge of $4.5 million.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s net income increased to $44.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $37.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and increased to $90.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $76.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $75.9 million, including $24.9 million in restricted cash.
Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased to $196.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $150.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This $45.8 million increase was due to increased cash flow from operating properties due to the greater number of properties owned in 2005 compared to 2004 and also 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 $271.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $122.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This $148.8 million increase primarily resulted from an increased investment in properties, land held for development, and development in progress compared to 2004 partially offset by an increase in proceeds from the disposition of properties and land.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $95.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $10.8 million used for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This $106.0 million change was primarily due to the issuance of $300 million of unsecured notes in 2005 and the private placement of $44.0 million of 6.65% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units, partially offset by net activity on the unsecured credit facility and the repayment of $96.7 million of mortgages. 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 six months ended June 30, 2005, a significant portion of these activities were funded through a $450 million Credit Facility (the “$450 million Credit Facility”). The interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility fluctuate 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 $450 million Credit Facility is 70 basis points over LIBOR. The $450 million Credit Facility expires in January 2006, and has a one year extension option.
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

27


Table of Contents

levels, the Company considers various financial measures including the debt to gross assets ratio and the earnings to fixed charge coverage ratio. As of June 30, 2005 the Company’s debt to gross assets ratio was 44.4%, and for the six months ended June 30, 2005, the earnings to fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.8x. Debt to gross assets equals total long-term debt and borrowings under the $450 million Credit Facility divided by total assets plus accumulated depreciation. Earnings to fixed charges equals income from continuing operations before property dispositions and minority interest, including operating activity from discontinued operations, plus interest expense and depreciation and amortization, divided by interest expense, including capitalized interest, plus distributions on preferred units.
As of June 30, 2005, $281.8 million in mortgage loans and $1,755.0 million in unsecured notes were outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 6.9%. The interest rates on $1,990.0 million of mortgage loans and unsecured notes are fixed and range from 5.125% to 9.75%. Interest rates on $46.8 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 6.1 years.
The scheduled maturities and principal amortization of the Company’s mortgage loans, unsecured notes and borrowings under the $450 million Credit Facility and the related weighted average interest rates as of June 30, 2005 are as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

The Company’s existing sources of capital include the public debt and equity markets, proceeds from Property dispositions, equity contributions by joint venture partners and net cash provided from operating activities. Additionally, the Company expects to incur variable rate debt, including borrowings under the $450 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 August 5, 2005, 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 $806.2 million in debt securities.
Calculation of Funds from Operations
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 REITs 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
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 $450 million Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate; therefore, the amount of interest payable under the $450 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.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
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, 2004.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
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 (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) 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.
It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance, that the objectives of the control system will be met.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 that have materially affected or are reasonable likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
