Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the Company can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved. As forward-looking statements, these statements involve important risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expected results and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of the Company. The Company assumes no obligation to update or supplement forward looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, without limitation, uncertainties affecting real estate businesses generally (such as entry into new leases, renewals of leases and dependence on tenants’ business operations), risks relating to our ability to maintain and increase property occupancy and rental rates, risks relating to the current credit crisis and economic decline, risks relating to construction and development activities, risks relating to acquisition and disposition activities, risks relating to the integration of the operations of entities that we have acquired or may acquire, risks relating to joint venture relationships and any possible need to perform under certain guarantees that we have issued or may issue in connection with such relationships, possible environmental liabilities, risks relating to leverage and debt service (including availability of financing terms acceptable to the Company and sensitivity of the Company’s operations and financing arrangements to fluctuations in interest rates), dependence on the primary markets in which the Company’s properties are located, the existence of complex regulations relating to status as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and the adverse consequences of the failure to qualify as a REIT, risks relating to litigation, including without limitation litigation involving entities that we have acquired or may acquire, and the potential adverse impact of market interest rates on the market price for the Company’s securities.

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
The Company
Liberty Property Trust (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 its subsidiary, Liberty Property Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, together with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”).
The Company completed its initial public offering in 1994 to continue and expand the commercial real estate business of Rouse & Associates, a Pennsylvania general partnership, and certain affiliated entities (collectively, the “Predecessor”), which was founded in 1972. As of December 31, 2009, the Company owned and operated 349 industrial and 290 office properties (the “Wholly Owned Properties in Operation”) totaling 64.4 million square feet. In addition, as of December 31, 2009, the Company owned three properties under development, which when completed are expected to comprise 381,000 square feet (the “Wholly Owned Properties under Development”), and 1,355 acres of developable land, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use. Additionally, as of December 31, 2009, the Company had an ownership interest, through unconsolidated joint ventures, in 47 industrial and 49 office properties totaling 13.8 million square feet (the “JV Properties in Operation” and, together with the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation, the “Properties in Operation”), two properties under development, which when completed are expected to comprise 600,000 square feet (the “JV Properties under Development” and, together with the Wholly Owned Properties under Development, the “Properties under Development,” which in turn are referred to, together with the Properties in Operation, as the “Properties”) and 630 acres of developable land, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use.
The Company provides leasing, property management, development and other tenant-related services for the Properties. The industrial Properties consist of a variety of warehouse, distribution, service, assembly, light manufacturing and research and development facilities. They include both single-tenant and multi-tenant facilities, with most designed flexibly to accommodate various types of tenants, space requirements and industrial uses. The Company’s office Properties are multi-story and single-story office buildings located principally in suburban mixed-use developments or office parks. Substantially all of the Properties are located in prime business locations within established business communities. In addition, the Company, individually or through joint ventures, owns urban office properties in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. The Company’s strategy with respect to product and market selection is expected generally to favor metro-office, multi-tenant industrial and flex properties and markets with strong demographic and economic fundamentals.
The Trust is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owning 96.6% of the common equity of the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2009. The common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (the “Common Units”), other than those owned by the Trust, are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis (subject to anti-dilution protections) for the Trust’s Common Shares of Beneficial Interest, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Shares”). As of December 31, 2009, the Common Units held by the limited partners were exchangeable for 4.0 million Common Shares. The Company has issued several series of Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership (the “Preferred Units”). The outstanding Preferred Units of each series are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis after stated dates into a corresponding series of Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of the Trust. The ownership of the holders of Common and Preferred Units is reflected on the Trust’s financial statements as a component of total equity as “non-controlling interest — operating partnership.”
In addition to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company files with or furnishes to the SEC periodic and current reports, proxy statements and other information. The Company makes these documents available on its website, www.libertyproperty.com, free of charge, as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC. Any document the Company files with or furnishes to the SEC is available to read and copy at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Room 1580, Washington, DC 20549. Further information about the public reference facilities is available by calling the SEC at (800) SEC-0330. These documents also may be accessed on the SEC’s web site, http://www.sec.gov.

Business Objective and Strategies for Growth
The Company’s business objective is to maximize long-term profitability for its shareholders by being a recognized leader in commercial real estate through the ownership, management, development and acquisition of superior office and industrial properties. The Company intends to achieve this objective through offering office and industrial properties in multiple markets and operating as a leading landlord in the industry. The Company believes that this objective will provide the benefits of enhanced investment opportunities, economies of scale, risk diversification both in terms of geographic market and real estate product type, access to capital and the ability to attract and retain personnel. The Company also strives to be a leading provider of customer service, providing an exceptional and positive tenant experience. The Company seeks to be an industry leader in sustainable development and to operate an energy-efficient portfolio. In pursuing its business objective, the Company seeks to achieve a combination of internal and external growth, maintain a conservative balance sheet and pursue a strategy of financial flexibility.
Products
The Company strives to be a recognized quality provider of five products (industrial properties, including big box warehouse, multi-tenant industrial, and flex/R&D; and office properties, including single-story office and multi-story office). The Company’s strategy with respect to product and market selection is expected generally to favor metro-office, multi-tenant industrial and flex properties with strong demographic and economic fundamentals. However, consistent with the Company’s strategy and market opportunities, the Company may pursue office and industrial products other than those noted above.
Markets
The Company operates primarily in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern United States. Additionally, the Company owns certain assets in the United Kingdom. The Company’s goal is to operate in each of its markets with an appropriate product mix of office and industrial properties. In some markets it may offer only one of its product types. Generally, the Company seeks to have a presence in each market sufficient for the Company to be viewed as a significant participant in that market. The Company’s efforts emphasize business park development and asset aggregation. The Company gathers information from internal sources and independent third parties and analyzes this information to support its evaluation of markets and market conditions.

Organizational Plan
The Company seeks to maintain a management organization that facilitates efficient execution of the Company’s strategy. As part of this effort, the Company pursues a human resources plan designed to create and maintain a highly regarded real estate company through recruiting, training and retaining capable people. The structure is designed to support a local office entrepreneurial platform operating within a value-added corporate structure. The Company upgrades its information technology periodically to keep pace with advances in available technology.
Internal Growth Strategies
The Company seeks to maximize the profitability of its Properties by endeavoring to maintain high occupancy levels while obtaining competitive rental rates, controlling costs and focusing on customer service efforts.
Maintain High Occupancies
The Company believes that the quality and diversity of its tenant base and its strategy of operating in multiple markets is integral to achieving its goal of attaining high occupancy levels for its portfolio. The Company targets financially stable tenants in an effort to minimize uncertainty relating to the ability of the tenants to meet their lease obligations.
Cost Controls
The Company seeks to identify best practices to apply throughout the Company in order to enhance cost savings and other efficiencies. The Company also employs an annual capital improvement and preventative maintenance program designed to reduce the operating costs of the Properties in Operation and maintain the long-term value of the Properties in Operation.
Customer Service
The Company seeks to achieve high tenant retention through a comprehensive customer service program, which is designed to provide an exceptional and positive tenant experience. The customer service program establishes best practices and provides an appropriate customer feedback process. The Company believes that the program has been helpful in increasing tenant satisfaction.
Energy Efficiency Initiatives
The Company is committed to improving the energy efficiency of the existing buildings in its portfolio and has made a substantial effort to design environmentally friendly features in the buildings it develops.
The Company has been an active participant in the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (“LEED”) program. The LEED program, which was created to recognize environmental leadership in the building industry, establishes a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. The Company has over seven million square feet of LEED projects completed in 41 buildings, including the 1.25 million square foot Comcast Center, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Company believes that green building techniques can result in positive environmental results and significant economic returns to tenants in terms of savings in operating costs and improved employee performance.
The Company has also taken significant steps to measure the energy efficiency of the existing buildings in the portfolio and to move forward with efforts to improve the energy efficiency of these buildings. These efforts have included, in various cases: (1) conducting energy audits; (2) performing lighting retrofits and installing lighting controls; (3) installing building automation systems; (4) installing improvements designed to increase energy efficiency; and (5) establishing and implementing a green property management guide and green training program.
The Company’s efforts in this area are ongoing. The Company intends to continue to explore methods of enhancing the performance of the buildings in its existing portfolio.
External Growth Strategies
The Company seeks to enhance its long-term profitability through the development, acquisition and disposition of properties either directly or through joint ventures. The Company also considers acquisitions of real estate operating companies.
Current market conditions are not favorable for the development, acquisition and disposition of properties and consequently the Company expects growth in profitability from these sources to be limited at least in the near term.

Wholly Owned Properties
Development
The Company pursues attractive development opportunities, focusing primarily on high-quality suburban industrial and office properties within its existing markets. When the Company’s marketing efforts identify opportunities, the Company will consider pursuing opportunities outside of the Company’s established markets. The Company and its Predecessor have developed over 62 million square feet of commercial real estate during the past 37 years. The Company’s development activities generally fall into two categories: build-to-suit projects and projects built for inventory (projects that are less than 75% leased prior to commencement of construction). The Company develops build-to-suit projects for existing and new tenants. The Company also builds properties for inventory where the Company has identified sufficient demand at market rental rates to justify such construction. Since current market conditions are not generally favorable for speculative development, the Company anticipates that any development starts for 2010 will be substantially pre-leased.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company completed two build-to-suit projects and 13 inventory projects totaling 2.9 million square feet and representing an aggregate Total Investment, as defined below, of $299.9 million. As of December 31, 2009, these completed development properties were 73.2% leased. The “Total Investment” for a Property is defined as the Property’s purchase price plus closing costs and management’s estimate, as determined at the time of acquisition, of the cost of necessary building improvements in the case of acquisitions, or land costs and land and building improvement costs in the case of development projects, and, where appropriate, other development costs and carrying costs.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had three Wholly Owned Properties under Development, which are expected to comprise, upon completion, 381,000 square feet and are expected to represent a Total Investment of $83.4 million. These Wholly Owned Properties under Development were 72.7% pre-leased as of December 31, 2009. The scheduled deliveries of the 381,000 square feet of Wholly Owned Properties under Development are as follows (in thousands, except percentages):
                                                 
    Square Feet     Percent Leased     Total  
Scheduled In-Service Date   Ind-Dist.     Ind-Flex     Office     Total     December 31, 2009     Investment

Total
                381       381       72.7 %   $ 83,382  
 
                                   
The Company believes that, because it is a fully integrated real estate firm, its base of commercially zoned land in existing industrial and office business parks provides a competitive advantage for future development activities. As of December 31, 2009, the Company owned 1,355 acres of land held for development, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use. Substantially all of the land is located adjacent to or within existing industrial or business parks with site improvements, such as public sewers, water and utilities, available for service. The Company estimates that its land holdings would support, as and when developed, 13.6 million square feet of property. The Company’s investment in land held for development as of December 31, 2009 was $218.6 million.
Through a development agreement with Kent County Council, the Company develops commercial buildings at Kings Hill, a 650-acre mixed use development site in the County of Kent, England. The Company also is the project manager for the installation of infrastructure on the site and receives a portion of the proceeds from the sale of land parcels to home builders. The site has planning consent for 2.0 million square feet of commercial space and 2,750 homes, of which approximately 825,000 square feet of commercial space and 2,300 homes have now been completed.
Through a development agreement with Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation, the Company has development rights for 55 acres of land located at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia. The Company estimates that this 55 acres would support, as and when developed, 1.0 million square feet of property.

Table of Contents

Acquisitions/Dispositions
The Company seeks to acquire properties consistent with its business objectives and strategies. The Company executes its acquisition strategy by purchasing properties that management believes will create shareholder value over the long-term.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company did not acquire any properties.
The Company disposes of properties and land held for development that no longer fit within the Company’s strategic plan, or with respect to which the Company believes it can optimize cash proceeds. During the year ended December
31, 2009, the Company sold 29 operating properties, which contained 2.3 million square feet and 15 acres of land, for aggregate proceeds of $178.4 million.
Joint Venture Properties
The Company, from time to time, considers joint venture opportunities with institutional investors or other real estate companies. Joint venture partnerships provide the Company with additional sources of capital to share investment risk and fund capital requirements. In some instances, joint venture partnerships provide the Company with additional local market or product type expertise.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures totaling $175.6 million (see Note 4 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements).
Development
During the year ended December 31, 2009, unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company held an interest completed one build-to-suit project and one inventory project totaling 725,000 square feet and representing a Total Investment of $36.0 million. As of December 31, 2009, these completed development properties were 71.9% leased.
As of December 31, 2009, unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company held an interest had two JV Properties under Development which are expected to comprise, upon completion, 600,000 square feet and are expected to represent a Total Investment of $160.1 million. These JV Properties under Development were 11.0% pre-leased as of December 31, 2009.
As of December 31, 2009, unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company held an interest owned 630 acres of land held for development, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use. Substantially all of the land is located adjacent to or within existing industrial or business parks with site improvements, such as public sewers, water and utilities, available for service. The Company estimates that its joint venture land holdings would support, as and when developed, 6.3 million square feet of property.
Acquisitions/Dispositions
During the year ended December 31, 2009, none of the unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company held an interest acquired or disposed of any properties.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Company’s results of operations and the ability to make distributions to our shareholders and service our indebtedness may be affected by the risk factors set forth below. (The Company refers to itself as “we”, “us” or “our” in the following risk factors.) This section contains some forward looking statements. You should refer to the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on forward-looking statements on page 28.
Risks Related to Our Business
Ongoing constraints in credit markets and the current economic downturn could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
The Company’s business is subject to the risks in this section. Current economic conditions have increased the probability the Company will experience these risks. Pressure on the global credit markets and declines and continuing weakness in the general economy have negatively impacted the Company’s normal business practices.

Table of Contents

We have historically relied on access to the credit markets in the conduct of our business. In particular, we currently utilize a $600 million credit facility, and additionally, we have, as of December 31, 2009, $1.8 billion of senior unsecured debt and $474.0 million of secured debt. Our credit facility expires in January 2011. Although we are not aware of any instances in which banks participating in the credit facility have been unable or unwilling to participate in draws under the facility, it is possible that the financial issues confronting the banking industry could lead to such an occurrence. If such a circumstance occurred it is possible that the Company could not access the full amount which is supposed to be available under the credit facility. Additionally, if the financial issues confronting the banking industry persist it is possible that the amount and terms available for a renewal of the credit facility could be adversely impacted. Our secured and unsecured debt matures at various times between 2010 and 2018. Only a small portion of the principal of our debt is repaid prior to maturity. Therefore, we generally need to refinance our outstanding debt as it matures. In 2010, we have $169.7 million of senior unsecured debt and $11.2 million of secured debt maturing. We anticipate that the cost of borrowing under a renewal of the credit facility will be higher than the cost under the current credit facility.
In addition to our reliance on access to credit markets in the conduct of our business, we have relied on the proceeds from the sale of our real estate assets to fund our growth opportunities. The absence of available financing to facilitate purchase and sale transactions has reduced our ability to rely on the proceeds to fund our growth opportunities.
Additionally, to the extent that credit continues to be less available than in the past and/or more costly than in the past, this state of affairs will likely have an adverse impact on the value of commercial real estate. Uncertainty in the markets about the pricing of real estate has also reduced our ability to rely on the sale of our real estate assets to fund our growth opportunities.
The dramatic and pervasive nature of the economic downturn has resulted in substantial job losses and financial stress to the businesses which form our tenant base. Although the Company endeavors to lease to credit-worthy tenants and has historically experienced relatively few defaults due to tenant bankruptcy, in this economic environment the Company may sustain substantially increased tenant defaults due to bankruptcy or otherwise. Such losses may be greater than expected and may result in a material diminution in the income generated by the Company’s portfolio. As described more fully in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” during the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized non-cash impairment charges due to a decline in fair market value of certain of the Company’s assets. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be required at a later point in time to recognize additional impairments to the Company’s assets.
Recent developments in the general economy have affected some of our existing tenants, and could have an adverse impact on our ability to collect rent or renew leases with these tenants, resulting in a negative effect on our cash flow from operations.
Recent developments in the general economy and the global credit markets have had a significant adverse effect on many companies in numerous industries. We have tenants in these and other industries which may be experiencing these adverse effects. Should any of our tenants that may experience a downturn in its business that weakens its financial condition, delay lease commencement, fail to make rental payments when due, become insolvent or declare bankruptcy, the result could be a termination of the tenant’s lease and material losses to us. Our cash flow from operations and our ability to make expected distributions to our shareholders and service our indebtedness could, in such a case, be adversely affected.
Unfavorable events affecting our existing tenants, or negative market conditions that may affect our existing tenants, could have an adverse impact on our ability to attract new tenants, relet space, collect rent or renew leases, and thus could have a negative effect on our cash flow from operations.
Our cash flow from operations depends on our ability to lease space to tenants on economically favorable terms. Therefore, we could be adversely affected by various facts and events over which we have limited control, such as:
   
lack of demand for space in the areas where our Properties are located
   
inability to retain existing tenants and attract new tenants
   
oversupply of or reduced demand for space and changes in market rental rates
   
defaults by our tenants or their failure to pay rent on a timely basis
   
the need to periodically renovate and repair our space
   
physical damage to our Properties
   
economic or physical decline of the areas where our Properties are located
   
potential risk of functional obsolescence of our Properties over time
If a tenant is unable to pay rent due to us, we may be forced to evict such tenants, or engage in other remedies, which may be expensive and time consuming and may adversely affect our net income, shareholders’ equity and cash distributions to shareholders.

Table of Contents

At any time, any of our tenants may experience a downturn in its business that may weaken its financial condition. As a result, a tenant may delay lease commencement, fail to make rental payments when due, decline to extend a lease upon its expiration, become insolvent or declare bankruptcy. Any tenant bankruptcy or insolvency, leasing delay or failure to make rental payments when due could result in the termination of the tenant’s lease and material losses to our Company.
If our tenants do not renew their leases as they expire, we may not be able to rent the space. Furthermore, leases that are renewed, and some new leases for space that is relet, may have terms that are less economically favorable to us than current lease terms, or may require us to incur significant costs, such as for renovations, tenant improvements or lease transaction costs.
Any of these events could adversely affect our cash flow from operations and our ability to make expected distributions to our shareholders and service our indebtedness.
A significant portion of our costs, such as real estate taxes, insurance costs, and debt service payments, generally are not reduced when circumstances cause a decrease in cash flow from our Properties.
We may not be able to compete successfully with other entities that operate in our industry.
We experience a great deal of competition in attracting tenants for our Properties and in locating land to develop and properties to acquire.
In our effort to lease our Properties, we compete for tenants with a broad spectrum of other landlords in each of our markets. These competitors include, among others, publicly-held REITs, privately-held entities, individual property owners and tenants who wish to sublease their space. Some of these competitors may be able to offer prospective tenants more attractive financial or other terms than we are able to offer.
We may experience increased operating costs, which could adversely affect our operations.
Our Properties are subject to increases in operating expenses such as insurance, cleaning, electricity, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, general and administrative costs and other costs associated with security, landscaping, repairs and maintenance. While our current tenants generally are obligated to pay a significant portion of these costs, there is no assurance that these tenants will make such payments or agree to pay these costs upon renewal or that new tenants will agree to pay these costs. If operating expenses increase in our markets, we may not be able to increase rents or reimbursements in all of these markets so as to meet increased expenses without simultaneously decreasing occupancy rates. If this occurs, our ability to make distributions to shareholders and service our indebtedness could be adversely affected.
Our ability to achieve growth in operating income depends in part on our ability to develop properties, which may suffer under certain circumstances.
We intend to continue to develop properties when warranted by market conditions. However, current market conditions are not favorable for development and consequently we expect growth in operating income from development to be limited at least in the near term.
Additionally, our general construction and development activities include the risks that:
   
construction and leasing of a property may not be completed on schedule, which could result in increased expenses and construction costs, and would result in reduced profitability
   
construction costs may exceed our original estimates due to increases in interest rates and increased materials, labor or other costs, possibly making the property unprofitable because we may not be able to increase rents to compensate for the increase in construction costs
   
some developments may fail to achieve expectations, possibly making them unprofitable
   
we may be unable to obtain, or may face delays in obtaining, required zoning, land-use, building, occupancy, and other governmental permits and authorizations, which could result in increased costs and could require us to abandon our activities entirely with respect to a project

Table of Contents

   
we may abandon development opportunities after we begin to explore them and as a result, we may fail to recover costs already incurred. If we alter or discontinue our development efforts, past and future costs of the investment may need to be expensed rather than capitalized and we may determine the investment is impaired, resulting in a loss
   
we may expend funds on and devote management’s time to projects that we do not complete
   
occupancy rates and rents at newly completed properties may fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including market and economic conditions, and may result in lower than projected rental rates with the result that our investment is not profitable
We face risks associated with property acquisitions.
We acquire individual properties and portfolios of properties, in some cases through the acquisition of operating entities, and intend to continue to do so when circumstances warrant. Under current market conditions we expect growth in operating income from acquisitions to be limited at least in the near term.
Additionally, our acquisition activities and their success are subject to the following risks:
   
when we are able to locate a desirable property, competition from other real estate investors may significantly increase the purchase price
   
acquired properties may fail to perform as expected
   
the actual costs of repositioning or redeveloping acquired properties may be higher than our estimates
   
acquired properties may be located in new markets where we face risks associated with an incomplete knowledge or understanding of the local market, a limited number of established business relationships in the area and a relative unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures
   
we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties and operating entities, into our existing operations, and as a result, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected
We may acquire properties subject to liabilities and without any recourse, or with only limited recourse, with respect to unknown liabilities. As a result, if a liability were asserted against us based upon ownership of those properties, we might have to pay substantial sums to settle it, which could adversely affect our cash flow.
Many of our Properties are concentrated in our primary markets, and we therefore may suffer economic harm as a result of adverse conditions in those markets.
Our Properties are located principally in specific geographic areas. Due to the concentration of our Properties in these areas, performance is dependent on economic conditions in these areas. These areas have experienced periods of economic decline.
We may not be able to access financial markets to obtain capital on a timely basis, or on acceptable terms.
In addition to the capital market constraints previously noted, our ability to access the public debt and equity markets depends on a variety of factors, including:
   
general economic conditions affecting these markets
   
our own financial structure and performance
   
the market’s opinion of REITs in general
   
the market’s opinion of REITs that own properties similar to ours
We may suffer adverse effects as a result of the terms of and covenants relating to our indebtedness.
Required payments on our indebtedness generally are not reduced if the economic performance of our portfolio of Properties declines. If the economic performance of our Properties declines, net income, cash flow from operations and cash available for distribution to shareholders will be reduced. If payments on debt cannot be made, we could sustain a loss, or in the case of mortgages, suffer foreclosures by mortgagees or suffer judgments. Further, some obligations, including our $600 million credit facility and $1.8 billion in unsecured notes issued in past public offerings, contain cross-default and/or cross-acceleration provisions, as does $128.9 million in outstanding mortgage indebtedness at December 31, 2009, which means that a default on one obligation may constitute a default on other obligations.

Table of Contents

Our credit facility and unsecured debt securities contain customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness, including total debt to asset ratios, secured debt to total asset ratios, debt service coverage ratios and minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt which we must maintain. Our continued ability to borrow under our $600 million credit facility is subject to compliance with our financial and other covenants. In addition, our failure to comply with such covenants could cause a default under this credit facility, and we may then be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources. Under those circumstances, other sources of capital may not be available to us, or be available only on unattractive terms.
Our degree of leverage could limit our ability to obtain additional financing.
Our degree of leverage could affect our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development or other general corporate purposes. Our senior unsecured debt is currently rated investment grade by the three major rating agencies. However, there can be no assurance we will be able to maintain this rating, and in the event our senior debt is downgraded from its current rating, we would likely incur higher borrowing costs. Our degree of leverage could also make us more vulnerable to a downturn in business or the economy generally.
Further issuances of equity securities may be dilutive to our existing shareholders.
The interests of our existing shareholders could be diluted if we issue additional equity securities to finance future developments, acquisitions, or repay indebtedness. Our Board of Trustees can authorize the issuance of additional securities without shareholder approval. Our ability to execute our business strategy depends on our access to an appropriate blend of debt financing, including unsecured lines of credit and other forms of secured and unsecured debt, and equity financing, including issuances of common and preferred equity.
An increase in interest rates would increase our interest costs on variable rate debt and could adversely impact our ability to refinance existing debt.
We currently have, and may incur more, indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates. Accordingly, if interest rates increase, so will our interest costs, which would adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders. Further, rising interest rates could limit our ability to refinance existing debt when it matures.
Property ownership through joint ventures will limit our ability to act exclusively in our interests and may require us to depend on the financial performance of our co-venturers.
From time to time we invest in joint ventures in which we do not hold a controlling interest. These investments involve risks that do not exist with properties in which we own a controlling interest, including the possibility that our partners may, at any time, have business, economic or other objectives that are inconsistent with our objectives. In instances where we lack a controlling interest, our partners may be in a position to require action that is contrary to our objectives. While we seek to negotiate the terms of these joint ventures in a way that secures our ability to act in our best interests, there can be no assurance that those terms will be sufficient to fully protect us against actions contrary to our interests. If the objectives of our co-ventures are inconsistent with ours, we may not in every case be able to act exclusively in our interests.
Additionally, our joint venture partners may experience financial difficulties that impair their ability to meet their obligations to the joint venture, such as with respect to providing additional capital, if required. If such a circumstance presented itself we may be required to perform on their behalf, if possible, or suffer a loss of all or a portion of our investment in the joint venture.
Risks Related to the Real Estate Industry
Real estate investments are illiquid, and we may not be able to sell our Properties if and when we determine it is appropriate to do so.
Real estate generally cannot be sold quickly. We may not be able to dispose of our Properties promptly in response to economic or other conditions. In addition, provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), limit a REIT’s ability to sell properties in some situations when it may be economically advantageous to do so, thereby adversely affecting returns to shareholders and adversely impacting our ability to meet our obligations to the holders of other securities.

Table of Contents

We may experience economic harm if any damage to our Properties is not covered by insurance.
We believe all of our Properties are adequately insured with carriers that are adequately capitalized. However, we cannot guarantee that the limits of our current policies will be sufficient in the event of a catastrophe to our Properties or that carriers will be able to honor their obligations. Our existing property and liability policies expire during 2010. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to renew or duplicate our current coverages in adequate amounts or at reasonable prices.
We may suffer losses that are not covered under our comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and rental loss insurance policies. For example, we may not be insured for losses resulting from acts of war, certain acts of terrorism, or from environmental liabilities. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits should occur, we would nevertheless remain liable for the loss which could adversely affect cash flow from operations.
Potential liability for environmental contamination could result in substantial costs.
Under federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, we may be required to investigate and clean up the effects of releases of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products at our Properties simply because of our current or past ownership or operation of the real estate. If unidentified environmental problems arise, we may have to make substantial payments which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders because:
   
as owner or operator, we may have to pay for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred in connection with the contamination
   
the law typically imposes clean-up responsibility and liability regardless of whether the owner or operator knew of or caused the contamination
   
even if more than one person may be responsible for the contamination, each person who shares legal liability under the environmental laws may be held responsible for all of the clean-up costs
   
governmental entities and third parties may sue the owner or operator of a contaminated site for damages and costs
These costs could be substantial. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products or the failure to properly remediate contamination may materially and adversely affect our ability to borrow against, sell or rent an affected property. In addition, applicable environmental laws create liens on contaminated sites in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs in connection with a contamination. Changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing at our Properties may result in significant unanticipated expenditures.
It is our policy to retain independent environmental consultants to conduct Phase I environmental site assessments and asbestos surveys with respect to our acquisition of properties. These assessments generally include a visual inspection of the properties and the surrounding areas, an examination of current and historical uses of the properties and the surrounding areas and a review of relevant state, federal and historical documents, but do not involve invasive techniques such as soil and ground water sampling. Where appropriate, on a property-by-property basis, our practice is to have these consultants conduct additional testing, including sampling for asbestos, for lead in drinking water, for soil contamination where underground storage tanks are or were located or where other past site usages create a potential environmental problem, and for contamination in groundwater. Even though these environmental assessments are conducted, there is still the risk that:
   
the environmental assessments and updates will not identify all potential environmental liabilities
   
a prior owner created a material environmental condition that is not known to us or the independent consultants preparing the assessments
   
new environmental liabilities have developed since the environmental assessments were conducted
   
future uses or conditions such as changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations could result in environmental liability for us
While we test indoor air quality on a regular basis and have an ongoing maintenance program in place to address this aspect of property operations, inquiries about indoor air quality may necessitate special investigation and, depending on the results, remediation. Indoor air quality issues can stem from inadequate ventilation, chemical contaminants
from indoor or outdoor sources, pollen, viruses and bacteria. Indoor exposure to chemical or biological contaminants above certain levels can be alleged to be connected to allergic reactions or other health effects and symptoms in susceptible individuals. If these conditions were to occur at one of our Properties, we may need to undertake a targeted remediation program, including without limitation, steps to increase indoor ventilation rates and eliminate sources of contaminants. Such remediation programs could be costly, necessitate the temporary relocation of some or all of the Property’s tenants or require rehabilitation of the affected Property.

Table of Contents

Our Properties may contain or develop harmful mold, which could lead to liability for adverse health effects and costs of remediating the problem.
When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth may occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds may produce airborne toxins or irritants. Concern about indoor exposure to mold has been increasing as exposure to mold may cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. As a result, the presence of significant mold at any of our Properties could require us to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold from the affected Property. In addition, the presence of significant mold could expose us to liability from our tenants, employees of our tenants and others if property damage or health concerns arise.
Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and fire, safety and other regulations may require us to make expenditures that adversely impact our operating results.
All of our Properties are required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”). The ADA generally requires that buildings be made accessible to people with disabilities. Compliance with the ADA requirements could require removal of access barriers, and non-compliance could result in imposition of fines by the United States government or an award of damages to private litigants, or both. Expenditures related to complying with the provisions of the ADA could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and our ability to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, we are required to operate our Properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations, as they may be adopted by governmental agencies and bodies and become applicable to our Properties. We may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with those requirements and these expenditures could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition, as well as our ability to make distributions to shareholders.
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may adversely impact our operating results and may affect markets on which our securities are traded.
Terrorist attacks against our Properties, or against the United States or United States interests generally, may negatively affect our operations and investments in our securities. Attacks or armed conflicts could have a direct adverse impact on our Properties or operations through damage, destruction, loss or increased security costs. Any terrorism insurance that we obtain may be insufficient to cover the loss for damages to our Properties as a result of terrorist attacks.
Furthermore, any terrorist attacks or armed conflicts could result in increased volatility in or damage to the United States and worldwide financial markets and economy. Adverse economic conditions could affect the ability of our tenants to pay rent, which could have an adverse impact on our operating results.
Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure
We have elected REIT status under the federal tax laws and could suffer adverse consequences if we fail to qualify as a REIT.
We have elected REIT status under federal tax laws and have taken the steps known to us to perfect that status, but we cannot be certain that we qualify or that we will remain qualified. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Code, as to which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations. The complexity of these provisions and of the related income tax regulations is greater in the case of a REIT that holds its assets in partnership form, as we do. Moreover, no assurance can be given that new tax laws will not significantly affect our qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification. New laws could be applied retroactively, which means that past operations could be found to be in violation, which would have a negative effect on the business.

Table of Contents

If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the distributions to shareholders would not be deductible when computing taxable income. If this happened, we would be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. Also, we could be prevented from qualifying as a REIT for the four years following the year in which we were disqualified. Further, if we requalified as a REIT after failing to qualify, we might have to pay the full corporate-level tax on any unrealized gain in our assets during the period we were not qualified as a REIT. We would then have to distribute to our shareholders the earnings we accumulated while we were not qualified as a REIT. These additional taxes would reduce our funds available for distribution to our shareholders. In addition, while we were disqualified as a REIT, we would not be required by the Code to make distributions to our shareholders. A failure by the Company to qualify as a REIT and the resulting requirement to pay taxes and interest (and perhaps penalties) would cause us to default under various agreements to which we are a party, including under our credit facility, and would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, earnings, financial condition and our ability to make distributions to shareholders.
Future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may lead our Board of Trustees to authorize the revocation of our election to qualify as a REIT. A revocation of our REIT status would require the consent of the holders of a majority of the voting interests of all of our outstanding Common Shares.
Risks associated with potential borrowings necessary to make distributions to qualify as a REIT; distributions can be made in Common Shares.
We intend to make distributions to shareholders to comply with the distribution provisions of the Code necessary to maintain qualification as a REIT and to avoid income taxes and the non-deductible excise tax. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to borrow funds to meet the distribution requirements necessary to achieve the tax benefits associated with qualifying as a REIT. In such circumstances, we might need to borrow funds to avoid adverse tax consequences, even if our management believes that the prevailing market conditions are not generally favorable for such borrowings or that such borrowings would not be advisable in the absence of such tax considerations.
For distributions with respect to a taxable year ending on or before December 31, 2011, Company stock may be used to meet these distribution requirements, subject to the requirements of Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 2010-12, 2010-3 IRB. Under this Revenue Procedure, we are permitted to make taxable distributions of our stock (in lieu of cash) if (x) any such distribution is declared with respect to a taxable year ending on or before December 31, 2011, and (y) each of our stockholders is permitted to elect to receive its entire entitlement under such declaration in either cash or shares of equivalent value subject to a limitation in the amount of cash to be distributed in the aggregate; provided that (i) the amount of cash that we set aside for distribution is not less than 10% of aggregate distribution so declared, and (ii) if too many of our stockholders elect to receive cash, a pro rata amount of cash will be distributed to each such stockholder electing to receive cash, but in no event will any such stockholder receive less than its entire entitlement under such declaration. Thus, if we were to elect to make distributions using our common shares, our shareholders may receive less cash than they might have preferred.
Certain officers of the Trust may not have the same interests as shareholders as to certain tax laws.
Certain officers of the Trust own Common Units. These units may be exchanged for our Common Shares. The officers who own those units and have not yet exchanged them for our Common Shares may suffer different and more adverse tax consequences than holders of our Common Shares suffer in certain situations:
   
when certain of our Properties are sold
   
when debt on those Properties is refinanced
   
if we are involved in a tender offer or merger
Because these officers own units and face different consequences than shareholders do, the Trust and those officers may have different objectives as to these transactions than shareholders do.
Certain aspects of our organization could have the effect of restricting or preventing a change of control of our Company, which could have an adverse effect on the price of our shares.
Our charter contains an ownership limit on shares. To qualify as a REIT, five or fewer individuals cannot own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% in value of the outstanding shares of beneficial interest. To this end, our Declaration of Trust, among other things, generally prohibits any holder of the Trust’s shares from owning more than 5% of the Trust’s outstanding shares of beneficial interest, unless that holder gets the consent from our Board of
Trustees. This limitation could prevent the acquisition of control of the Company by a third party without the consent from our Board of Trustees.

Table of Contents

We have a staggered board and certain restrictive nominating procedures. Our Board of Trustees has three classes of trustees. The term of office of one class expires each year. Trustees for each class are elected for three-year terms as that class’ term expires. The terms of the Class I, Class II, and Class III trustees expire in 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. Any nominee for trustee must be selected under the nominating provisions contained in our Declaration of Trust and By-Laws. The staggered terms for trustees and the nominating procedures may affect shareholders’ ability to take control of the Company, even if a change in control were in the shareholders’ interest.
We can issue preferred shares. Our Declaration of Trust authorizes our Board of Trustees to establish the preferences and rights of any shares issued. The issuance of preferred shares could have the effect of delaying, making more difficult or preventing a change of control of the Company, even if a change in control were in the shareholder’s interest.
There are limitations on acquisition of and changes in control pursuant to, and fiduciary protections of The Board under Maryland law. The Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”) contains provisions which are applicable to the Trust as if the Trust were a corporation. Among these provisions is a section, referred to as the “control share acquisition statute,” which eliminates the voting rights of shares acquired in quantities so as to constitute “control shares,” as defined under the MGCL. The MGCL also contains provisions applicable to us that are referred to as the “business combination statute,” which would generally limit business combinations between the Company and any 10% owners of the Trust’s shares or any affiliate thereof. Further, Maryland law provides broad discretion to the Board with respect to its fiduciary duties in considering a change in control of our Company, including that the Board is subject to no greater level of scrutiny in considering a change in control transaction than with respect to any other act by the Board. Finally, the “unsolicited takeovers” provisions of the MGCL permit the Board, without shareholder approval and regardless of what is currently provided in our Declaration of Trust or By-Laws, to implement takeover defenses that our Company does not yet have, including permitting only the Board to fix the size of the Board and permitting only the Board to fill a vacancy on the Board. All of these provisions may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making an acquisition proposal for our Company or of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of Common Shares with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then current market price.
Various factors out of our control could hurt the market value of our publicly traded securities.
The value of our publicly traded securities depends on various market conditions, which may change from time to time. In addition to general economic and market conditions and our particular financial condition and performance, the value of our publicly traded securities could be affected by, among other things, the extent of institutional investor interest in us and the market’s opinion of REITs in general and, in particular, REITs that own and operate properties similar to ours.
The market value of the equity securities of a REIT may be based primarily upon the market’s perception of the REIT’s growth potential and its current and future cash distributions, and may be secondarily based upon factors such as the real estate market value of the underlying assets. The failure to meet the market’s expectations with regard to future earnings and cash distributions likely would adversely affect the market price of publicly traded securities. Our payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and will depend on numerous factors including our cash flow, financial condition and capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, the general economic environment and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deems relevant, and we cannot assure you that our annual dividend rate will be maintained at its current level.
Rising market interest rates could make an investment in publicly traded securities less attractive. If market interest rates increase, purchasers of publicly traded securities may demand a higher annual yield on the price they pay for their securities. This could adversely affect the market price of publicly traded securities.
We no longer have a shareholder rights plan but are not precluded from adopting one.
Our shareholder rights plan expired in accordance with its terms on December 31, 2007. While we did not extend or renew the plan, we are not prohibited from adopting, without shareholder approval, a shareholder rights plan that may discourage any potential acquirer from acquiring more than a specific percentage of our outstanding Common Shares
since, upon this type of acquisition without approval of our Board of Trustees, all other common shareholders would have the right to purchase a specified amount of Common Shares at a substantial discount from market price.

Transactions by the Trust or the Operating Partnership could adversely affect debt holders.
Except with respect to several covenants limiting the incurrence of indebtedness and a covenant requiring the Operating Partnership to maintain a certain unencumbered total asset value, our indentures do not contain any additional provisions that would protect holders of the Operating Partnership’s debt securities in the event of (i) a highly leveraged transaction involving the Operating Partnership, (ii) a change of control or (iii) certain reorganizations, restructurings, mergers or similar transactions involving the Operating Partnership or the Trust.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As a result of the Company’s acquisition of Republic Property Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust, and Republic Property Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (together, “Republic”), in October, 2007 the Company was substituted for Republic as a party to certain ongoing litigation. The litigation is summarized below. The litigation arises out of disputes between Republic and certain parties, two of whom were members of Republic’s Board of Trustees and “founders” of Republic (the “Grigg Parties”). The disputes include claims arising from the termination of an officer of Republic, the termination of a development arrangement in West Palm Beach, Florida and an attempt by Republic to acquire a certain office property from an entity controlled by the aforementioned related parties pursuant to an option agreement entered into at the time of Republic’s formation.
On November 17, 2006, Republic disclosed in a Form 8-K that Steven A. Grigg, its President and Chief Development Officer, had notified Republic that he was terminating his employment, purportedly for “good reason,” as such term is defined in his employment agreement, dated December 20, 2005. Mr. Grigg also asserted that, as a result of such termination, he was entitled to the severance payments provided for under the terms of the employment agreement. The cash portion of such severance payments could be valued at up to approximately $1.8 million. The Company disagrees with Mr. Grigg that there is a basis for termination by Mr. Grigg for good reason; therefore, we believe that Mr. Grigg terminated his employment without good reason as of November 13, 2006, the date of his termination letter. Accordingly, we believe that no severance payments are due and we have not remitted any such payments to Mr. Grigg under the terms of his employment agreement.
On December 22, 2006, Mr. Grigg filed a lawsuit against Republic in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Mr. Grigg alleges, among other things, that (i) Republic breached his employment agreement, (ii) Republic breached its duties of good faith and fair dealing and (iii) the Noncompetition Agreement dated December 20, 2005 between Mr. Grigg and Republic is unenforceable and void. Mr. Grigg seeks, among other remedies, (i) the severance payment allegedly due under the employment agreement, (ii) other damages in an amount to be finally determined at trial and (iii) the voiding of the Noncompetition Agreement. The Company believes that Mr. Grigg’s lawsuit is without merit, generally denies the allegations in the complaint and denies that Mr. Grigg is entitled to any of the relief sought in his complaint. Republic originally asserted various counterclaims against Mr. Grigg, including claims for common law fraud, state securities fraud, breach of his employment agreement, breach of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment. Republic subsequently voluntarily dismissed without prejudice its common law fraud, state securities fraud and unjust enrichment claims in order to pursue those claims in the litigation described below pending in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The Company’s counterclaims against Mr. Grigg for breach of his employment agreement and breach of his fiduciary duties remain pending in the District of Columbia Superior Court litigation. On March 30, 2007, the Court denied, in its entirety, Mr. Grigg’s motion to dismiss these counterclaims. The Company seeks damages and other appropriate relief on these counterclaims. The litigation in this matter is continuing.
On March 28, 2007, Republic filed a lawsuit against Messrs. Kramer and Grigg and Republic Properties Corporation in the United States District Court of the District of Columbia. This lawsuit asserts, among other things, claims against (i) all three defendants for (a) federal and state securities fraud and (b) common law fraud; (ii) Messrs. Kramer and Grigg for (a) federal and state control person liability and (b) unjust enrichment; and (iii) Republic Properties Corporation for (a) breach of contract and (b) indemnification. The Company seeks, among other remedies, (i) damages in an amount not less than $1.2 million, the

approximate value (at the time of issuance) of the partnership units issued by Republic Property Limited Partnership to Republic Properties Corporation in connection with a development agreement, the West Palm Beach City Center Development Contribution Agreement, (ii) additional damages incurred by Republic as a result of the termination of a professional services agreement, the West Palm Beach Professional Services Agreement, (iii) recovery of the costs, including attorneys fees, associated with a previously-disclosed independent investigation, (iv) reimbursement for Republic’s expenses in this litigation, including attorneys’ fees, and (v) other damages, including punitive damages, in an amount to be finally determined at trial. On March 31, 2008, the Court granted a motion filed by the Grigg Parties to dismiss the Republic claims. We filed a motion for reconsideration of the grant of the motion to dismiss. On August 13, 2008, the Court denied the motion for reconsideration. The Company appealed the Court’s decision to the appropriate appellate court (the “Appellate Court”). On August 21, 2009, the Appellate Court issued its opinion reversing the Court and returning the case to the Court for further proceedings. The Grigg Parties have filed with the Appellate Court a motion for Rehearing En Banc. The Appellate Court has that motion under consideration.
On May 21, 2007, Republic proffered a lease (the “Lease”), to 25 Massachusetts Avenue Property LLC (“25 Mass”), for certain space in Republic Square I, an office building in Washington, D.C. (the “Option Property”). Two of Republic’s founders and trustees, Richard L. Kramer and Mr. Grigg, currently control 25 Mass. On May 22, 2007, 25 Mass rejected the proffer of the Lease. On May 29, 2007, Republic (i) re-tendered the Lease to 25 Mass for certain space at the Option Property and (ii) exercised its exclusive option to purchase the fee interest in the Option Property pursuant to the Option Agreement among 25 Mass, 660 North Capitol Street Property LLC and Republic dated as of November 28, 2005 (the “Option Agreement”). On May 30, 2007, 25 Mass rejected the Lease and claimed that “there has been no effective exercise of the option” under the Option Agreement.
In response to 25 Mass’s rejection, on June 15, 2007, Republic filed a lawsuit against 25 Mass in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware. 25 Mass counterclaimed against Republic for damages. On April 7, 2008, the Court of Chancery issued an opinion concluding that neither party was entitled to relief and ordering that the Lis Pendens on the property be lifted. On April 15, 2008, 25 Mass filed a notice of appeal from dismissal of its counterclaims. On November 25, 2008, the Delaware Supreme Court remanded the matter to the Court of Chancery in order for the Court of Chancery to consider 25 Mass’ claimed breach of the Option Agreement. On January 22, 2009, the Court of Chancery issued a Memorandum Opinion adhering to its original determination that 25 Mass’ counterclaim should be dismissed. On April 20, 2009, the Court issued its opinion dismissing 25 Mass’ claims. On April 24, 2009, 25 Mass filed a motion for Rehearing En Banc. On April 29, 2009, the Court denied 25 Mass’ motion for Rehearing En Banc.
On December 12, 2008, 25 Mass filed a complaint in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that 25 Mass had entered a purchase and sale agreement with a third party for the sale of Republic Square I, and that Republic’s lawsuit and its Lis Pendens prevented a closing by which Republic Square I could be sold under the terms of that purchase and sale agreement. The December 12, 2008 lawsuit alleges that by so doing, Republic committed tortious interference with contract, tortious interference with prospective contractual relations, malicious prosecution, abuse of process and a violation of the Washington D.C. Lis Pendens statute. The filed complaint seeks “no less than $85 million” in compensatory damages, and “no less than $85 million” in punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees for an improperly filed Lis Pendens under Washington D.C. Code § 42-1207(d). In April 2009, following the decision of the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware, 25 Mass voluntarily dismissed with prejudice all of its claims in this matter with the exception of its claim based on a claim of malicious prosecution. On December 23, 2009, the Court dismissed the remaining claim of malicious prosecution. 25 Mass has informed the Company that it intends to appeal the Court’s decision.
While management currently believes that resolving these matters will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position, our results of operations or our cash flows, the litigation noted above is subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable final outcome to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our financial position and the results of operations for the period in which the effect becomes capable of being reasonably estimated.

As of February 23, 2010, the Common Shares were held by 1,126 holders of record. Since its initial public offering in 1994, the Company has paid regular and uninterrupted quarterly dividends.
Although the Company currently anticipates that dividends at $0.475 per Common Share per quarter or a comparable rate will continue to be paid in the future, the payment of future dividends by the Company will be at the discretion of the Board of Trustees and will depend on numerous factors including the Company’s cash flow, its financial condition, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, the general economic environment and such other factors as the Board of Trustees deems relevant.
In December 2009, an individual acquired 6,000 Common Shares in exchange for the same number of Common Units. This person acquired these Common Units in connection with their contribution to the Operating Partnership of certain assets. The exchange of Common Shares for the Common Units is exempt from the registration requirement of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4 (2) thereunder.

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) has issued a standard definition for Funds from operations (as defined below). The Securities and Exchange Commission 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. Funds from operations available to common shareholders also does not represent cash flows generated from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP. A reconciliation of Funds from operations to net income may be found on page 39.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Liberty Property Trust (the “Trust”) is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (“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 its subsidiary, Liberty Property Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, collectively with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”).
The Company operates primarily in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern United States. Additionally, the Company owns certain assets in the United Kingdom.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company owned and operated 349 industrial and 290 office properties (the “Wholly Owned Properties in Operation”) totaling 64.4 million square feet. In addition, as of December 31, 2009, the Company owned three properties under development, which when completed are expected to comprise 381,000 square feet (the “Wholly Owned Properties under Development”) and 1,355 acres of developable land, substantially all of which is zoned for commercial use. Additionally, as of December 31, 2009, the Company had an ownership interest, through unconsolidated joint ventures, in 47 industrial and 49 office properties totaling 13.8 million square feet (the “JV Properties in Operation” and, together with the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation, the “Properties in Operation”), two properties under development, which when completed are expected to comprise 600,000 square feet (the “JV Properties under Development” and, together with the Wholly Owned Properties under Development, the “Properties under Development”). The Company also has an ownership interest through unconsolidated joint ventures in 630 acres of developable 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 and controlling costs. The Company pursues development opportunities that it believes will create value and yield acceptable 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.
Recent uncertainty in the global credit markets and declines and weakness in the general economy have negatively impacted the Company’s business practices. The credit markets have become considerably less favorable than in the period prior to the economic downturn. Additionally, uncertainty about the pricing of commercial real estate and the absence of available financing to facilitate transactions has dramatically reduced the Company’s ability to rely on the proceeds from the sale of real estate to provide proceeds to fund investment opportunities. Similarly, current market conditions are not favorable for acquisitions and development and consequently the potential for growth in operating income from acquisitions and development is anticipated to be limited in 2010.
Consistent with the dramatic recession in the United States and world economy, rental demand for the Properties in Operation declined for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008. Despite this trend, the Company successfully leased 15.5 million square feet during the year ended December 31, 2009 and attained occupancy of 89.5% for the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation and 87.7% for the JV Properties in Operation for a combined occupancy of 89.2% for the Properties in Operation as of that date. The reduction in rental demand for properties is reflected in a decline during the year ended December 31, 2009 of straight line rents on renewal and replacement leases of 5.9%. At December 31, 2008, occupancy for the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation was 91.1% and for the JV Properties in Operation was 92.2% for a combined occupancy for the Properties in Operation of 91.3%. The Company believes that straight line rents on renewal and replacement leases for 2010 will on average be 10% to 15% lower than rents on expiring leases. Furthermore, the Company believes that average occupancy for its Properties in Operation will not increase or decrease by more than 1% for 2010 compared to 2009.
As described more fully below, during the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized non-cash impairment charges due to a decline in fair market value below carrying value of certain of the Company’s assets.

WHOLLY OWNED CAPITAL ACTIVITY
Acquisitions
During the year ended December 31, 2009, conditions for the acquisition of properties were unsettled primarily because of adverse events in the credit markets and a general downturn in the economy. The Company did not acquire any operating properties during the year ended December 31, 2009. For 2010, the Company anticipates that wholly owned property acquisitions will range from no acquisitions to acquisitions of up to $100 million.
Dispositions
During the year ended December 31, 2009, market conditions for dispositions were unsettled, which the Company again attributes to adverse events in the credit markets and a general downturn in the economy. Disposition activity allows the Company to, among other things, (1) reduce its holdings in certain markets and product types within a market; (2) lower the average age of the portfolio; (3) optimize the cash proceeds from the sale of certain assets; and (4) obtain funds for investment activities. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company realized proceeds of $178.4 million from the sale of 29 operating properties representing 2.3 million square feet and 15 acres of land. For 2010, the Company believes it will realize proceeds of approximately $75 million to $125 million from the sale of operating properties.
Development
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company brought into service 15 Wholly Owned Properties under Development representing 2.9 million square feet and a Total Investment, as defined below, of $299.9 million, and initiated $12.3 million in real estate development. As of December 31, 2009, the projected Total Investment of the Wholly Owned Properties under Development was $83.4 million. For 2010, the Company believes that it will bring into service from its development pipeline approximately $75 million to $100 million of Total Investment in operating real estate. Although the Company continues to pursue development opportunities, current market conditions are not generally favorable for speculative development. Any development starts for 2010 likely will be substantially pre-leased.
The “Total Investment” for a Property is defined as the Property’s purchase price plus closing costs and management’s estimate, as determined at the time of acquisition, of the cost of necessary building improvements in the case of acquisitions, or land costs and land and building improvement costs in the case of development projects, and, where appropriate, other development costs and carrying costs.
JOINT VENTURE CAPITAL ACTIVITY
The Company periodically enters into joint venture relationships in connection with the execution of its real estate operating strategy.
Acquisitions
During the year ended December 31, 2009, none of the unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company held an interest acquired any properties. For 2010, the Company believes that none of the unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company holds an interest will acquire any properties.
Dispositions
During the year ended December 31, 2009, none of the unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company held an interest disposed of any properties. For 2010, the Company does not anticipate that any unconsolidated joint ventures in which it holds an interest will dispose of any operating properties.
Development
During the year ended December 31, 2009, joint ventures in which the Company held an interest brought into service two JV Properties under Development representing 725,000 square feet and a Total Investment of $36.0 million. As of December 31, 2009, the projected Total Investment of JV Properties under Development was $160.1 million. For 2010, the Company expects unconsolidated joint ventures in which it holds an interest to bring into service between $125 million and $175 million of Total Investment in operating properties.

Forward-Looking Statements
When used throughout this report, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates” 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 that 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 enter into agreements with suitable joint venture partners in situations where it believes such arrangements are advantageous; the Company’s ability to identify and secure additional properties and sites, both for itself and the joint ventures to which it is a party, that meet its criteria for acquisition or development; the current credit crisis and its impact on the availability and cost of capital; the effect of prevailing market interest rates; risks related to the integration of the operations of entities that we have acquired or may acquire; risks related to litigation; and other risks described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Company bases these estimates, judgments and assumptions on historical experience and on other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The following critical accounting policies discussion reflects what the Company believes are the more significant estimates, assumptions and judgments used in the preparation of its Consolidated Financial Statements. This discussion of critical accounting policies is intended to supplement the description of the accounting policies in the footnotes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and to provide additional insight into the information used by management when evaluating significant estimates, assumptions and judgments. For further discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.
Capitalized Costs
Expenditures directly related to the acquisition or improvement of real estate, including interest and other costs capitalized on development projects and land being readied for development, are included in net real estate and are stated at cost. The Company considers a development property substantially complete upon the completion of tenant build-out, but no later than one year after the completion of major construction activity. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, development related salaries and other costs incurred during the period of development. The determination to capitalize rather than expense costs requires the Company to evaluate the status of the development activity. Capitalized interest for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $7.6 million, $20.0 million and $45.7 million, respectively. Effective January 1, 2009, acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Deferred rent receivable represents the amount by which straight line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with the lease agreements. Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease. The capitalized above or below-market lease values are amortized as a component of rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company monitors the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants on an on-going basis. Based on these reviews, provisions are established, and an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its tenants to make required rental payments is maintained. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $11.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively. The Company’s bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $4.3 million, $4.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

Impairment of Real Estate
The Company evaluates its real estate investments upon the occurrence of significant adverse changes in operations to assess whether any impairment indicators are present that could affect the recovery of the recorded value. Indicators the Company uses to determine whether an impairment evaluation is necessary include the low occupancy level of the property, holding period for the property, strategic decisions regarding future development plans for a property under development and land held for development and other market factors. If impairment indicators are present the Company performs an undiscounted cash flow analysis and compares the net carrying amount of the property to the property’s estimated undiscounted future cash flow over the anticipated holding period. The Company assesses the expected undiscounted cash flows based upon estimated capitalization rates, historic operating results and market conditions that may affect the property. If any real estate investment is considered impaired, the carrying value of the property is written down to its estimated fair value. Fair value is estimated based on the discounting of future expected cash flows at a risk adjusted interest rate. During the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 the Company recognized impairment losses of $9.5 million, $3.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The determination of whether an impairment exists requires the Company to make estimates, judgments and assumptions about the future cash flows. The Company has evaluated each of its Properties and land held for development and has determined that there are no additional impairment charges that need to be recorded at December 31, 2009.
Intangibles
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” the Company allocates the purchase price of real estate acquired to land, building and improvements and intangibles based on the relative fair value of each component. The value ascribed to in-place leases is based on the rental rates for the existing leases compared to the Company’s estimate of the fair market lease rates for leases of similar terms and present valuing the difference based on an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired. Origination values are also assigned to in-place leases, and, where appropriate, value is assigned to customer relationships. Origination cost estimates include the costs to execute leases with terms similar to the remaining lease terms of the in-place leases, including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Additionally, the Company estimates carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods including real estate taxes, other operating expenses and lost rentals at contractual rates. The Company depreciates the amounts allocated to building and improvements over 40 years. The amounts allocated to the intangible relating to in-place leases, which are included in deferred financing and leasing costs or in other liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets, are amortized over the remaining term of the related leases. In the event that a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of the intangible is written off.
The Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually in November and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating the carrying value is impaired. The Company performs its analysis for potential impairment of goodwill in accordance with FASB ASC 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other,” which requires that a two-step impairment test be performed on goodwill. In the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the fair value exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired, and no further testing is required. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then a second step must be performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the goodwill and compare it to the carrying value of the goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value then an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company determined that the $15.7 million related to its acquisition of Republic Property Trust in October 2007 was impaired. The Company recognized a $15.7 million impairment loss in 2009 in connection with the write off of this goodwill. No impairment losses were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2008 or 2007.
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company analyzes its investments in joint ventures under FASB ASC 810, “Consolidation,” to determine if the joint venture is considered a variable interest entity and would require consolidation. The Company does not have any interests in variable interest entities. The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence over, but does not control, these entities. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions.
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the estimated fair value of the investment.

Table of Contents

Management estimated the fair value of its ownership interest in the joint ventures considering the estimated fair value of the real estate assets owned by the joint ventures and the related indebtedness as well as the working capital assets and liabilities of the joint ventures and the terms of the related joint venture agreements. The Company’s estimates of fair value of the real estate assets are based on a discounted cash flow analysis incorporating a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, current market rental rates, changes in market rental rates, operating costs, capitalization rates, holding periods and discount rates. For these assumptions, the Company considered its experience and historical performance in the various markets and data provided by market research organizations. In assessing whether the impairment is other-than-temporary the Company considers several factors. The longevity and severity of the impairment are considered as well as the expected time for recovery of value to occur, if ever.
The Company developed the budgets for its unconsolidated joint ventures during the fourth quarter of 2009. For certain of the unconsolidated joint ventures, the budgets suggested a continuing situation of weak demand for space and intense competition for tenants leading to another year of stagnant rents. This continuing and sustained impairment in value as suggested by the 2010 budgets and the other assessment considerations described above caused the Company to conclude that the decline in value was other than temporary for four of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.
The Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as of December 31, 2009 before and after the impairment charge are as follows:

Determining values in the current market is inherently difficult and is based on the Company’s assessment of a number of factors which are difficult to predict. The market may continue to decline and future impairment charges may be needed.
No impairment losses were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2008 or 2007.
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 year ended December 31, 2009 with the results of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2008, and the results of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2008 with the results of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2007. As a result of the varying level of development, acquisition and disposition activities by the Company in 2009, 2008 and 2007, the overall operating results of the Company during such periods are not directly comparable. However, certain data, including the Same Store (as defined below) results, do lend themselves to direct comparison.
This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report.
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2009 to Year Ended December 31, 2008
Overview
The Company’s average gross investment in operating real estate owned for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased to $5,032.6 million from $4,894.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase in operating real estate owned resulted in increases in rental revenue, operating expense reimbursement, rental property operating expenses, real estate taxes and depreciation and amortization expense.

Table of Contents

Total operating revenue increased to $744.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $731.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This $12.9 million increase was primarily due to the increase in investment in operating real estate and the increase in operating revenue from the Same Store group of properties, discussed below. This increase was also due to an increase in “Termination Fees,” which totaled $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. 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 and if a property is sold, related termination fees are included in discontinued operations. See “Other,” below.
Segments
The Company evaluates the performance of the Properties in Operation by reportable segment (see Note 13 to the Company’s financial statements for reconciliation to net income). The following table identifies changes in reportable segments (dollars in thousands):

The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in occupancy and a decrease in rental rates. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in average gross investment in operating real estate in 2009.
 
(2)  
The increase was primarily due to an increase in average gross investment in operating real estate, an increase in occupancy, and an increase in rental rates.
 
(3)  
The decrease was primarily due to the effect of changes in the Company’s interest in Comcast Center during the relevant periods. Comcast Center was a wholly owned 1.25 million square foot development property which came into service incrementally from the third quarter of 2007 through the first quarter of 2008. The property was transferred to an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company holds in interest on March 31, 2008.

Same Store
Property level operating income, exclusive of Termination Fees, for the Same Store properties increased to $481.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $478.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, on a straight line basis (which recognizes rental revenue evenly over the life of the lease), and increased to $468.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $467.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 on a cash basis. These increases of 0.6% and 0.4%, respectively, are primarily due to an increase in occupancy for office properties.
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 and Same Store cash basis 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 610 properties totaling approximately 58.4 million square feet owned on January 1, 2008 and excluding properties sold through December 31, 2009.

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 years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. Same Store property level income and cash basis property level operating income are non-GAAP measures and do not represent income before property dispositions, income taxes and equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures because they do 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 considering the Company’s operating performance. Also set forth below is a reconciliation of Same Store property level operating income and cash basis property level operating income to net income (in thousands).

General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses decreased to $51.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $54.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in number of employees and their corresponding compensation and decreases in cancelled projects and other discretionary expenses. The decreases were partially offset by increases in long term incentive compensation.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased to $170.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $169.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to the increase in average gross investment in operating real estate during the respective periods and particularly the increased investment in tenant improvement costs, which are depreciated over a shorter period than buildings.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased to $149.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $152.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This decrease was related to a decrease in the average debt outstanding, which was $2,503.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $2,833.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The effect of the decrease in the average debt outstanding was partially offset by an increase in the weighted average interest rate to 6.2% for the year ended December 31, 2009 from 6.1% for the year ended December 31, 2008. Partially offsetting the decrease in interest expense was the decrease in interest that was capitalized due to the decrease in development activity.
Interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $2.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively. This decrease was due to the decrease in the level of dispositions in 2009 compared to 2008.

Gain on property dispositions decreased to a gain of $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from a gain of $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to the recognition in 2008 of gain on the sale of Comcast Center into a joint venture in which the Company retains an interest (see Note 4 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements).
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized an $82.6 million impairment charge for investment in unconsolidated joint ventures and other and it recognized a $15.7 million impairment charge for the write off of goodwill. There were no similar impairment charges in 2008. The impairment charges for 2009 primarily result from a $78.8 million impairment charge that the Company recognized in the fourth quarter of 2009 relating to the other-than-temporary decline in fair value below the carrying values of certain of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company also wrote off the $15.7 million of goodwill and other intangibles relating to its October 2007 acquisition of Republic Property Trust. There were no similar impairment charges in 2008.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company purchased $11.4 million of its 7.75% Senior Notes due April 2009, $6.9 million of its 8.50% Senior Notes due August 2010, $3.5 million of its 7.25% Senior Notes due March 2011, $4.9 million of its 6.375% Senior Notes due August 2012 and $3.5 million of its 6.625% Senior Notes due October 2017. These notes were purchased at an aggregate $1.5 million discount. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company purchased $23.4 million of its 8.50% Senior Notes due August 2010. These notes were purchased at a $2.5 million discount. These discounts are included in net income as debt extinguishment gains.
Income from discontinued operations decreased to $24.8 million from $30.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease is due to lower operating income and the decrease in gains recognized on sales (net of impairment charges) which were $17.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $23.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. These decreases were partially offset by termination fees in discontinued operations which equaled $4.8 million in 2009 and $94,000 in 2008.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s net income decreased to $79.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $180.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2008 to Year Ended December 31, 2007
Overview
The Company’s average gross investment in operating real estate owned for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased to $4,894.3 million from $4,381.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This increase in operating real estate resulted in increases in rental revenue, operating expense reimbursement, rental property operating expenses, real estate taxes and depreciation and amortization expense.
Total operating revenue increased to $731.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $669.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This $62.3 million increase was primarily due to the increase in investment in operating real estate and the increase in operating revenue from the “Prior Year Same Store” (as defined below) group of properties, discussed below. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Termination Fees, which totaled $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Termination Fees are included in rental revenue.

Same Store
Property level operating income, exclusive of Termination Fees, for the Prior Year Same Store properties decreased to $438.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $440.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, on a straight line basis and decreased to $433.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $433.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 on a cash basis. These decreases of 0.6% and 0.2%, respectively, were primarily due to a decrease in occupancy.
Management generally considers the performance of the Prior Year Same Store properties to be a useful financial performance measure because the results are directly comparable from period to period.

In addition, Prior Year Same Store property level operating income and Prior Year Same Store cash basis 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 Prior Year Same Store properties consist of the 590 properties totaling approximately 53.4 million square feet owned on January 1, 2007 and excluding properties sold through December 31, 2008.
Set forth below is a schedule comparing the property level operating income, on a straight line basis and on a cash basis, for the Prior Year Same Store properties for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Prior Year Same Store property level income and Prior Year Same Store cash basis property level operating income are non-GAAP measures and do not represent income before property dispositions, income taxes, noncontrolling interest, and equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures because they do not reflect the consolidated operations of the Company. Investors should review Prior Year 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 considering the Company’s operating performance.

General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were relatively unchanged with an expense of $54.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $54.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Minor increases in compensation expense were offset by minor decreases in expenses for marketing and consulting services.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased to $169.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $151.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to the increase in gross investment in operating real estate during the respective periods and particularly the increased investment in tenant improvement costs, which are depreciated over a relatively shorter period than buildings.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $152.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $124.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This increase was related to an increase in the average debt outstanding, which was $2,833.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $2,677.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The effect of the increase in the average debt outstanding was partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate to 6.1% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from 6.5% for the year ended December 31, 2008. Also contributing to the increase in interest expense was the decrease in interest that was capitalized due to the decrease in development activity.
Interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $5.0 million and $9.8 million, respectively. This decrease was due to the decrease in the level of dispositions in 2008 compared to 2007.

Table of Contents

Other
Gain on property dispositions increased to $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase was due to a gain on sale of Comcast Center to an unconsolidated joint venture during the year ended December 31, 2008. There was no similar transaction in 2007.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company purchased $23.4 million of its 8.50% Senior Notes due August 2010. These notes were purchased at a $2.5 million discount. The discount is included in net income as a debt extinguishment gain. There was no similar transaction in 2007.
Income from discontinued operations decreased to $30.5 million from $49.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease is due to lower operating income and the decrease in gains recognized on sales which were $23.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $33.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s net income decreased to $180.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $190.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
The Company anticipates that it will need approximately $50 million during 2010 to complete its December 31, 2009 development pipeline and to fund 2010 development starts. The Company’s 2010 debt maturities total approximately $180 million. The Company believes that proceeds from asset sales and its available cash will provide it with sufficient funds to satisfy these obligations. The Company expects to realize approximately $75 million to $125 million in proceeds from asset sales in 2010.
Activity
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $279.7 million, including $42.2 million in restricted cash.
Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased to $298.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $265.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This $32.7 million increase was primarily due to the fluctuation in accounts payable and a reduction in interest expense primarily due to the repayment of $287.2 million in notes from the proceeds of the issuance of Common Shares. Net cash flow provided by operating activities 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 Wholly Owned Properties in Operation.
Net cash used in investing activities was $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to net cash provided of $52.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company funded its development activity including investments in land held for development in 2009 and 2008 with proceeds from property dispositions. This net activity decreased by $5.0 million between 2009 and 2008. The primary reason for the decrease in the proceeds provided from investment activities was the $46.0 million decrease in distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures. During 2008 a joint venture in which the Company has an ownership interest repaid a $59 million note. No similar repayments were made in 2009.
Net cash used in financing activities was $74.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $331.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This $257.3 million change was primarily due to increased proceeds from mortgage loans and from the sale of Common Shares for 2009 compared to 2008. These increased proceeds were used to reduce the Company’s outstanding debt and were the primary source of the $221.7 million increase in cash and cash equivalents. Net cash provided by or used in financing activities includes proceeds from the issuance of equity and debt, net of debt repayments and equity repurchases 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 and proceeds from the disposition of properties. For the year ended December 31, 2009, a portion of these activities were funded through a $600 million Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”). The interest rate on borrowings under the 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 Credit Facility is 65 basis points over LIBOR. There was $140.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2009. The Company has exercised its one year renewal option and the Credit Facility now expires in January 2011.

Additionally, the Company has entered into an agreement to fund its planned improvements for the Kings Hill Phase 2 land development project. At December 31, 2009, all of a £7 million revolving credit facility was available to the Company. The facility expires on November 22, 2011.
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 fixed charge coverage ratio. As of December 31, 2009 the Company’s debt to gross assets ratio was 38.9%, and for the year ended December 31, 2009, the fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.7x. Debt to gross assets equals total long-term debt including borrowings under the Credit Facility divided by total assets plus accumulated depreciation. The fixed charge coverage ratio equals income from continuing operations before property dispositions and impairment charges, 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 December 31, 2009, $474.0 million in mortgage loans and $1,842.9 million in unsecured notes were outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 6.5%. The interest rates on $2,153.6 million of mortgage loans and unsecured notes are fixed and range from 5.0% to 8.8%. The weighted average remaining term for these mortgage loans and unsecured notes is 4.8 years.

General
The Company believes that its existing sources of capital will provide sufficient funds to finance its continued development and acquisition activities. The Company’s existing sources of capital include the public debt and equity markets, proceeds from secured financing of properties, proceeds from property dispositions, equity capital from joint venture partners and net cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, the Company expects to incur variable rate debt, including borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility, from time to time.
On March 31, 2008, a $324 million 6.15% secured ten-year financing for Comcast Center was funded. The proceeds from this financing were used to pay down outstanding borrowings on the $600 million Credit Facility.

In October 2008, the Company sold 4,750,000 Common Shares. The net proceeds of the offering of $149.5 million were used to pay down outstanding borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.
In December 2008, the Company purchased $23.4 million of its 8.5% Senior Notes due August 2010. This purchase resulted in a $2.5 million debt extinguishment gain.
In January 2009, the Company satisfied a $20 million 8.125% medium term unsecured note.
During the period from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009 the Company purchased $11.4 million of its 7.75% Senior Notes due April 2009, $6.9 million of its 8.50% Senior Notes due August 2010, $3.5 million of its 7.25% Senior Notes due March 2011, $4.9 million of its 6.375% Senior Notes due August 2012 and $3.5 million of its 6.625% Senior Notes due October 2017. These purchases resulted in an aggregate $1.5 million loan extinguishment gain.
In April 2009, the Company repaid $238.6 million of 7.75% Senior Notes due April 2009.
During the period from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, the Company closed on mortgages totaling $330.3 million bearing interest at an average rate of 7.1%. The net proceeds of the offering were used to pay outstanding borrowings under the $600 million Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.
In December 2008, the Company commenced the sale of Common Shares pursuant to a continuous offering program. Through December 31, 2008, the Company sold 495,000 Common Shares as part of this program for net proceeds of $10.8 million. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company sold 12,821,000 shares as part of this program for net proceeds of $283.2 million. The Company has completed the sale of the $300 million authorized under this program.
In November 2008, the quarterly Common Share dividend was decreased to $0.475 per share from $0.625 per share. The Company’s annual Common Share dividend paid was $1.90 per share, $2.50 per share, and $2.485 per share in 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. In 2009, the Company’s dividend payout ratio was approximately 97.0% of Funds from operations (as defined below). Excluding the fourth quarter of 2009, $94.5 million non-cash impairment charge on unconsolidated investment in joint ventures and goodwill, the dividend payout ratio would have been 68.1% of Funds from operations.
The Company has an effective S-3 shelf registration statement on file with the SEC pursuant to which the Trust and the Operating Partnership may issue an unlimited amount of equity securities and debt securities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures totaling $175.6 million.
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. Funds from operations available to common shareholders also does not represent cash flows generated from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP.

Inflation
Inflation has remained relatively low in recent years, and as a result, it has not had a significant impact on the Company during this period. To the extent an increase in inflation would result in increased operating costs, such as 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 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following discussion about the Company’s risk management includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest, dividends and distributions payable and other liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, which is based on estimates by management and on rates quoted on December 31, 2009 for comparable loans, is less than the aggregate carrying value by approximately $33.5 million at December 31, 2009.
The Company’s primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates. The Company is exposed to market risk related to its $600 million Credit Facility and certain other indebtedness as discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources.” The interest on the $600 million Credit Facility and certain other indebtedness is subject to fluctuations in the market.
The Company also uses long-term and medium-term debt as a source of capital. These debt instruments are typically issued at fixed interest rates. When these debt instruments mature, the Company typically refinances such debt at then-existing market interest rates which may be more or less than the interest rates on the maturing debt. In addition, the Company may attempt to reduce interest rate risk associated with a forecasted issuance of new debt. In order to reduce interest rate risk associated with these transactions, the Company occasionally enters into interest rate protection agreements.
If the interest rates for variable rate debt were 100 basis points higher or lower during 2009, the Company’s interest expense would have increased or decreased by $2.5 million. If the interest rate for the fixed rate debt maturing in 2010 was 100 basis points higher or lower than its current rate of 5.0%, the Company’s interest expense would have increased or decreased by $2.6 million.
The sensitivity analysis above assumes no changes in the Company’s financial structure. It also does not consider future fluctuations in interest rates or the specific actions that might be taken by management to mitigate the impact of such fluctuations.
The Company is also exposed to currency risk on its net investment in the United Kingdom. The Company does not believe that this currency risk exposure is material to its financial statements.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The dual presentation of financial statements for the Company is required by the SEC. The Company is comprised of two SEC registrants: Liberty Property Trust and Liberty Property Limited Partnership. Accordingly, financial statements are required for each registrant. The financial information contained within the two sets of financial statements is essentially the same.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
To the Shareholders of Liberty Property Trust:
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Trustees regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commissions (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment we believe that, as of December 31, 2009, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, which is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Liberty Property Trust
We have audited Liberty Property Trust’s (the “Trust”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Trust’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Liberty Property Trust maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 of Liberty Property Trust and our report dated February 26, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Liberty Property Trust
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Property Trust (the “Trust”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Liberty Property Trust at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Liberty Property Trust’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 26, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF LIBERTY PROPERTY TRUST
1. ORGANIZATION
Liberty Property Trust (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 Liberty Property Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, together with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”). The Trust is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owning 96.6% of the common equity of the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2009. 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, Midwestern and Southwestern United States and the United Kingdom.
All square footage amounts are unaudited.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Trust, the Operating Partnership and wholly owned subsidiaries and those subsidiaries in which the Company owns a majority voting interest with the ability to control operations of the subsidiaries and where no approval, veto or other important rights have been granted to the noncontrolling shareholders. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform to current-year presentation.
FASB Codification
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB ASC 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”), which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the sole source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles. Pursuant to the provisions of ASC 105, the Company has updated references to US GAAP in its financial statements issued beginning with the period ended September 30, 2009. The adoption of ASC 105 did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Real Estate and Depreciation
The properties are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
     
Building and improvements
  40 years (blended)
Capital improvements
  15 – 20 years
Equipment
  5 – 10 years
Tenant improvements
  Term of the related lease
Expenditures directly related to acquisition or improvement of real estate, including interest and other costs capitalized during development, are included in net real estate and are stated at cost. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, development-related salaries and other costs incurred during the period of development. In accordance with FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), effective January 1, 2009, acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
In accordance with ASC 805, the Company allocates the purchase price of real estate acquired to land, building and improvements and intangibles based on the relative fair value of each component. The value ascribed to in-place leases is based on the rental rates for the existing leases compared to market rent for leases of similar terms and present valuing the difference based on market interest rates. Origination values are also assigned to in-place leases, and, where appropriate, value is assigned to customer relationships. The Company depreciates the amounts allocated to building and improvements over 40 years and the amounts allocated to intangibles relating to in-place leases, which are included in deferred financing and leasing costs and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, over the remaining term of the related leases.

Once a property is designated as held for sale, no further depreciation expense is recorded. Operations for properties identified as held for sale and/or sold where no continuing involvement exists are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented.
The Company evaluates its real estate investments upon occurrence of a significant adverse change in its operations to assess whether any impairment indicators are present that affect the recovery of the recorded value. If any real estate investment is considered impaired, a loss is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value.
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence, but does not control these entities. Under the equity method of accounting, the net equity investment of the Company is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the Company’s share of net income from the joint ventures is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the estimated fair value of the investment. The estimated fair value of the investments is determined using a discounted cash flow model which is a Level III valuation under ASC 820. The Company considers a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, operating costs, capitalization rates, holding periods and discount rates. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized impairment charges related to the decline in the fair values below the carrying values of certain of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company considered the decline in fair value below the carrying value of $78.8 million to be other-than-temporary. The investment in unconsolidated joint ventures was impaired for the following segments as of December 31, 2009:
         
    Impairment  
Segment   amount  
Midwest
  $ 6,963  
Philadelphia/D.C.
    64,060  
United Kingdom
    7,779  
 
     
 
       
Total
  $ 78,802  
 
     
No impairment losses were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2008 or 2007.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are classified as cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes tenant security deposits and escrow funds that the Company maintains pursuant to certain mortgage loans. Restricted cash also includes the undistributed proceeds from the sale of residential land in Kent County, United Kingdom.

Accounts Receivable/Deferred Rent Receivable
The Company’s accounts receivable are comprised of rents and charges for property operating costs due from tenants. The Company’s deferred rent receivable represents the cumulative difference between rent revenue recognized on a straight line basis and contractual payments due under the terms of tenant leases. The Company periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine if accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable balances are collectible. Based on this review, accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company considers tenant credit quality and payment history and general economic conditions in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts. If the accounts receivable balance or the deferred rent receivable balance is subsequently deemed uncollectible, the receivable and allowance for doubtful account balance is written off.
The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $11.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively. The Company’s bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $4.3 million, $4.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the amounts paid in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of Republic Property Trust in October 2007. Pursuant to FASB ASC 350, “Intangible — Goodwill and other” (“ASC 350”), goodwill is not amortized to expense but rather is analyzed for impairment. In conjunction with the purchase of Republic Property Trust, goodwill and other intangibles of $15.7 million were recorded. The goodwill was assigned to the Northern Virginia/Washington, D.C. operation (“reporting unit”) which is part of the Philadelphia/D.C. reportable segment and was included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually in November and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating the carrying value may be impaired. The Company performs its analysis for potential impairment of goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, which requires that a two-step impairment test be performed on goodwill. In the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow model which considers a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs. If the fair value exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired, and no further testing is required. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then a second step must be performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the goodwill and compare it to the carrying value of the goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value then an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference. An impairment loss of $15.7 million was recognized during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2009 and there is no longer any goodwill in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. No impairment losses were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2008 or 2007.
Revenues
The Company earns rental income under operating leases with tenants. Rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the applicable lease term. Operating expense reimbursements consisting of amounts due from tenants for real estate taxes, utilities and other recoverable costs are recognized as revenue in the period in which the corresponding expenses are incurred.
Termination fees (included in rental revenue) are fees that the Company has agreed to accept in consideration for permitting certain tenants to terminate their lease prior to the contractual expiration date. The Company recognizes termination fees in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, “Revenue Recognition,” when the following conditions are met:
  a)  
the termination agreement is executed,
 
  b)  
the termination fee is determinable,
 
  c)  
all landlord services pursuant to the terminated lease have been rendered, and
 
  d)  
collectability of the termination fee is assured.
Deferred Financing and Leasing Costs
Costs incurred in connection with financing or leasing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related loan or lease. Deferred financing cost amortization is reported as interest expense. Intangible assets related to acquired in-place leases are amortized over the terms of the related leases.
Costs Incurred for Preferred Unit Issuance
Costs incurred in connection with the Company’s preferred unit issuances are reflected as a reduction of noncontrolling interest-preferred units.
Subsequent events
Subsequent events have been evaluated through February 26, 2010, the date of issuance of these financial statements.

Dilutive shares for long-term compensation plans represent the vested and unvested Common Shares outstanding during the year as well as the dilutive effect of outstanding options. The anti-dilutive options that were excluded from the computation of diluted income per common share in 2009, 2008 and 2007 were 2,661,000, 1,145,000 and 629,000, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, 187,000 common shares were issued upon the exercise of options.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest, dividends and distributions payable and other liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, which is based on estimates by management and on rates quoted on December 31, 2009 for comparable loans, is less than the aggregate carrying value by approximately $33.5 million at December 31, 2009.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a result, the Company generally is not subject to federal income taxation at the corporate level to the extent it distributes annually at least 100% of its REIT taxable income, as defined in the Code, to its shareholders and satisfies certain other organizational and operational requirements. The Company has met these requirements and, accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates (including any alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local income and property taxes, and to federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income.
Several of the Company’s subsidiaries are taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”) and are subject to federal income taxes. In general, a TRS may perform additional services for tenants and generally may engage in real estate or non-real estate business that are not permitted REIT activities. The Company is also taxed in certain states, the United Kingdom, and Luxembourg. Accordingly, the Company has recognized federal, state and foreign income taxes in accordance with US GAAP, as applicable.
There are no uncertain tax positions or possibly significant unrecognized tax benefits that are reasonably expected to occur within the next 12 months. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expense. There are no interest or penalties deducted in the current period and no interest and penalties accrued at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Table of Contents

Certain of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries have net operating loss carryforwards available of approximately $18.8 million. These carryforwards begin to expire in 2018. The Company has considered estimated future taxable income and has determined that a valuation allowance for the full carrying value of net operating loss carryforwards is appropriate.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, certain state and local jurisdictions, the United Kingdom and Luxembourg. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local, or United Kingdom and Luxembourg examinations by tax authorities for years before 2006.
The Federal tax cost basis of the real estate at December 31, 2009 was $5.4 billion and at December 31, 2008 was $5.5 billion.
Share Based Compensation
Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employees’ requisite service period.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company’s United Kingdom operations is pounds sterling. The Company translates the financial statements for the United Kingdom operations into US dollars. Gains and losses resulting from this translation do not impact the results of operations and are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. A proportionate amount of gain or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interest-common units. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists solely of the foreign currency translation adjustments described above. Other comprehensive income (loss) was $8.0 million, ($26.8) million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Upon sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of the Company’s foreign investment, the gain or loss on the sale will include the cumulative translation adjustments that have been previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and noncontrolling interest-common units.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Beginning in the first quarter of 2010, the Company will be required to conduct an ongoing assessment to determine whether each entity in which it has an equity interest is a variable interest entity that should be consolidated if certain qualitative factors indicate that the Company has the controlling interest. This accounting change is required to be retroactively applied for all periods presented. The adoption of this requirement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Differences between the Company’s net investment in unconsolidated joint ventures and its underlying equity in the net assets of the venture is primarily a result of impairments related to the Company’s investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, the deferral of gains associated with the sales of properties to joint ventures in which the Company retains an ownership interest and loans made to the joint ventures by the Company. Differences between historical cost basis and the basis reflected at the joint venture level (other than loans) is typically depreciated over the life of the related asset.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Substantially all of the Properties and land were subject to Phase I Environmental Assessments and when appropriate Phase II Environmental Assessments (collectively, the “Environmental Assessments”) obtained in contemplation of their acquisition by the Company. The Environmental Assessments consisted of, among other activities, a visual inspection of each Property and its neighborhood and a check of pertinent public records. The Environmental Assessments did not reveal, nor is the Company aware of, any non-compliance with environmental laws, environmental liability or other environmental claim that the Company believes would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company is obligated to make additional capital contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures of $4.2 million. The Company has not guaranteed any of the debt of the unconsolidated joint ventures.
The Company has guaranteed the interest payments under its mortgage loan for its unconsolidated joint venture Blythe Valley JV Sarl for a maximum of $1.3 million.

Table of Contents

The Company is obligated to pay tenants for allowances for tenant improvements not yet completed for a maximum of $18.9 million.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions. The combined account balances at each institution typically exceed FDIC insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company believes the risk is not significant.
Litigation
The Company has been substituted for Republic as a party to certain litigation as a result of the Company’s acquisition of Republic on October 4, 2007. The litigation arises out of disputes between Republic and certain parties, two of whom were members of Republic’s Board of Trustees and “founders” of Republic. The disputes include claims arising from the termination of an officer of Republic (damages sought $1.8 million) and an attempt by Republic to acquire a certain office property from an entity controlled by the aforementioned related parties pursuant to an option agreement entered into at the time of Republic’s formation (damages sought $85.0 million compensatory and $85.0 million punitive). The Company believes that these claims are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously against this litigation.
In accordance with ASC 450 “Contingencies,” the Company will record a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates its portfolio of properties primarily throughout the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern 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
 
   
Northeast
  Southeastern PA; Lehigh/Central PA; New Jersey
Midwest
  Minnesota; Milwaukee; Chicago
Mid-Atlantic
  Maryland; Carolinas; Richmond; Virginia Beach
South
  Jacksonville; Orlando; Boca Raton; Tampa; Texas; Arizona
Philadelphia/D.C.
  Philadelphia; Northern Virginia/Washington, D.C.
United Kingdom
  County of Kent; West Midlands
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 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):

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
To the Partners of Liberty Property Limited Partnership:
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a–15 (f) and 15d–15(f). The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commissions (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment we believe that, as of December 31, 2009, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, which is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Partners of Liberty Property Limited Partnership
We have audited Liberty Property Limited Partnership’s (the “Operating Partnership”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Operating Partnership’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Liberty Property Limited Partnership maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, owners’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 of Liberty Property Limited Partnership and our report dated February 26, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Partners of Liberty Property Limited Partnership
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Liberty Property Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, owners’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Operating Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Liberty Property Limited Partnership at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Liberty Property Limited Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 26, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
LIBERTY PROPERTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
1. ORGANIZATION
Liberty Property Trust (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 its subsidiary, Liberty Property Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, together with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”). The Trust is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owning 96.6% of the common equity of the Operating Partnership at December 31, 2009. 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, Midwestern and Southwestern United States and the United Kingdom.
All square footage amounts are unaudited.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Operating Partnership and wholly owned subsidiaries and those subsidiaries in which the Company owns a majority voting interest with the ability to control operations of the subsidiaries and where no approval, veto or other important rights have been granted to the noncontrolling unitholders. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform to current-year presentation.
FASB Codification
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB ASC 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”), which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the sole source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles. Pursuant to the provisions of ASC 105, the Company has updated references to US GAAP in its financial statements issued beginning with the period ended September 30, 2009. The adoption of ASC 105 did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Real Estate and Depreciation
The properties are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives. The estimated lives are as follows:
     
Building and Improvements
  40 years (blended)
Capital improvements
  15 – 20 years
Equipment
  5 – 10 years
Tenant improvements
  Term of the related lease
Expenditures directly related to acquisition or improvement of real estate, including interest and other costs capitalized during development, are included in net real estate and are stated at cost. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development and construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, development-related salaries and other costs incurred during the period of development. In accordance with FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), effective January 1, 2009, acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

Table of Contents

In accordance with ASC 805, the Company allocates the purchase price of real estate acquired to land, building and improvements and intangibles based on the relative fair value of each component. The value ascribed to in-place leases is based on the rental rates for the existing leases compared to market rent for leases of similar terms and present valuing the difference based on market interest rates. Origination values are also assigned to in-place leases, and, where appropriate, value is assigned to customer relationships. The Company depreciates the amounts allocated to building and improvements over 40 years and the amounts allocated to intangibles relating to in-place leases, which are included in deferred financing and leasing costs and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, over the remaining term of the related leases.
Once a property is designated as held for sale, no further depreciation expense is recorded. Operations for properties identified as held for sale and/or sold where no continuing involvement exists are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented.
The Company evaluates its real estate investments upon occurrence of a significant adverse change in its operations to assess whether any impairment indicators are present that affect the recovery of the recorded value. If any real estate investment is considered impaired, a loss is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value.
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence, but does not control these entities. Under the equity method of accounting, the net equity investment of the Company is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the Company’s share of net income from the joint ventures is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the estimated fair value of the investment. The estimated fair value of the investments is determined using a discounted cash flow model which is a Level III valuation under ASC 820. The Company considers a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, operating costs, capitalization rates, holding periods and discount rates. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the values estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be realized.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized impairment charges related to the decline in the fair values below the carrying values of certain of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company considered the decline in fair value below the carrying value of $78.8 million to be other-than-temporary. The investment in unconsolidated joint ventures was impaired for the following segments as of December 31, 2009:
         
    Impairment  
Segment   amount  
Midwest
  $ 6,963  
Philadelphia/D.C.
    64,060  
United Kingdom
    7,779  
 
     
 
Total
  $ 78,802  
 
     
No impairment losses were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2008 or 2007.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are classified as cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes tenant security deposits and escrow funds that the Company maintains pursuant to certain mortgage loans. Restricted cash also includes the undistributed proceeds from the sale of residential land in Kent County, United Kingdom.

Table of Contents

Accounts Receivable/Deferred Rent Receivable
The Company’s accounts receivable are comprised of rents and charges for property operating costs due from tenants. The Company’s deferred rent receivable represents the cumulative difference between rent revenue recognized on a straight line basis and contractual payments due under the terms of tenant leases. The Company periodically performs a detailed review of amounts due from tenants to determine if accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable balances are collectible. Based on this review, accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company considers tenant credit quality and payment history and general economic conditions in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts. If the accounts receivable balance or the deferred rent receivable balance is subsequently deemed uncollectible, the receivable and allowance for doubtful account balance is written off.
The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $11.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively. The Company’s bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $4.3 million, $4.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the amounts paid in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of Republic Property Trust in October 2007. Pursuant to FASB ASC 350, “Intangible – Goodwill and other” (“ASC 350”), goodwill is not amortized to expense but rather is analyzed for impairment. In conjunction with the purchase of Republic Property Trust, goodwill and other intangibles of $15.7 million were recorded. The goodwill was assigned to the Northern Virginia/Washington, D.C. operation (“reporting unit”) which is part of the Philadelphia/D.C. reportable segment and was included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually in November and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating the carrying value may be impaired. The Company performs its analysis for potential impairment of goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, which requires that a two-step impairment test be performed on goodwill. In the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow model which considers a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs. If the fair value exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired, and no further testing is required. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then a second step must be performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the goodwill and compare it to the carrying value of the goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value then an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference. An impairment loss of $15.7 million was recognized during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2009 and there is no longer any goodwill in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. No impairment losses were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2008 or 2007.
Revenues
The Company earns rental income under operating leases with tenants. Rental income is recognized on a straight line basis over the applicable lease term. Operating expense reimbursements consisting of amounts due from tenants for real estate taxes, utilities and other recoverable costs are recognized as revenue in the period in which the corresponding expenses are incurred.
Termination fees (included in rental revenue) are fees that the Company has agreed to accept in consideration for permitting certain tenants to terminate their lease prior to the contractual expiration date. The Company recognizes termination fees in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, “Revenue Recognition,” when the following conditions are met:
  a)  
the termination agreement is executed,
 
  b)  
the termination fee is determinable,
 
  c)  
all landlord services pursuant to the terminated lease have been rendered, and
 
  d)  
collectability of the termination fee is assured.
Deferred Financing and Leasing Costs
Costs incurred in connection with financing or leasing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related loan or lease. Deferred financing cost amortization is reported as interest expense. Intangible assets related to acquired in-place leases are amortized over the terms of the related leases.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, 187,000 common units were issued upon the exercise of options.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest, distributions payable and other liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, which is based on estimates by management and on rates quoted on December 31, 2009 for comparable loans, is less than the aggregate carrying value by approximately $33.5 million at December 31, 2009.
Income Taxes
In conformity with the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state and local tax statutes, taxable income or loss of the Operating Partnership is required to be reported in the tax returns of the partners in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. However, the Company is taxed in certain states, the United Kingdom and Luxembourg. Accordingly, the Company has recognized federal, state, local and foreign taxes in accordance with US GAAP, as applicable.
There are no uncertain tax positions or possibly significant unrecognized tax benefits that are reasonably expected to occur within the next 12 months. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expense. There are no interest or penalties deducted in the current period and no interest and penalties accrued at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
Certain of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries have net operating loss carryforwards available of approximately $18.8 million. These carryforwards begin to expire in 2018. The Company has considered estimated future taxable income and has determined that a valuation allowance for the full carrying value of net operating loss carryforwards is appropriate.

Gains and losses resulting from this translation do not impact the results of operations and are included in general partner’s equity – common units and limited partners’ equity-common units. Other comprehensive income (loss) was $8.0 million, ($26.8) million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Upon sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of a foreign investment, the gain or loss on the sale will include the cumulative translation adjustments that have been previously recorded in limited partners’ equity-common units.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Beginning in the first quarter of 2010, the Company will be required to conduct an ongoing assessment to determine whether each entity in which it has an equity interest is a variable interest entity that should be consolidated if certain qualitative factors indicate that the Company has the controlling interest. This accounting change is required to be retroactively applied for all periods presented. The adoption of this requirement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Differences between the Company’s net investment in unconsolidated joint ventures and its underlying equity in the net assets of the venture is primarily a result of impairments related to the Company’s investment in unconsolidated joint ventures, the deferral of gains associated with the sales of properties to joint ventures in which the Company retains an ownership interest and loans made to the joint ventures by the Company. Differences between historical cost basis and the basis reflected at the joint venture level (other than loans) is typically depreciated over the life of the related asset.

8. OWNERS’ EQUITY
Common Units
General and Limited partners’ equity – common units relates to limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership issued in connection with the formation of the Company and certain subsequent acquisitions. The common units outstanding as of December 31, 2009 have the same economic characteristics as common shares of the Trust. The 4,011,354 common units are the limited partners’ equity — common units held by persons and entities other than Liberty Property Trust, the general partner of Liberty Property Limited Partnership, which holds a number of common units equal to the number of outstanding common shares of beneficial interest. Both the common units held by Liberty Property Trust and the common units held by persons and entities other than Liberty Property Trust are counted in the weighted average number of common units outstanding during any given period. The 4,011,354 common units share proportionately in the net income or loss and in any distributions of the Operating Partnership and are exchangeable into the same number of common shares of the Trust. The market value of the 4,011,354 common units at December 31, 2009 based on the closing price of the shares of the Company at December 31, 2009 was $128.4 million.

Limited Partners’ Equity
Limited partners’ equity in the accompanying financial statements represents the interests of the common and preferred units in Liberty Property Limited Partnership not held by the Trust. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and prior, these interests were classified in the mezzanine section of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. In 2009, the Trust and the Operating Partnership entered into an indemnification agreement which requires the Trust to hold the Operating Partnership harmless in connection with the conversion of any common units or preferred units. The noncontrolling interests – common units and preferred units were therefore transferred to owners’ equity.
A reclassification from limited partners’ equity – common units to general partner’s equity was made reflecting the effect of the cumulative redemption of common units to common shares in the amount of $24.5 million and $119,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The following details the change in limited partners’ equity for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2009, see the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Owners’ Equity.

Substantially all of the Properties and land were subject to Phase I Environmental Assessments and when appropriate Phase II Environmental Assessments (collectively, the “Environmental Assessments”) obtained in contemplation of their acquisition by the Company. The Environmental Assessments consisted of, among other activities, a visual inspection of each Property and its neighborhood and a check of pertinent public records. The Environmental Assessments did not reveal, nor is the Company aware of, any non-compliance with environmental laws, environmental liability or other environmental claim that the Company believes would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company is obligated to make additional capital contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures of $4.2 million. The Company has not guaranteed any of the debt of the unconsolidated joint ventures.
The Company has letter of credit obligations of $1.5 million related to development requirements. It is remote that there will be a draw upon these letter of credit obligations.
The Company has guaranteed the interest payments under its mortgage loan for its unconsolidated joint venture Blythe Valley JV Sarl for a maximum of $1.3 million.
The Company is obligated to pay tenants for allowances for tenant improvements not yet completed for a maximum of $18.9 million.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions. The combined account balances at each institution typically exceed FDIC insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company believes the risk is not significant.
Litigation
The Company has been substituted for Republic as a party to certain litigation as a result of the Company’s acquisition of Republic on October 4, 2007. The litigation arises out of disputes between Republic and certain parties, two of whom were members of Republic’s Board of Trustees and “founders” of Republic. The disputes include claims arising from the termination of an officer of Republic (damages sought $1.8 million) and an attempt by Republic to acquire a certain office property from an entity controlled by the aforementioned related parties pursuant to an option agreement entered into at the time of Republic’s formation (damages sought $85.0 million compensatory and $85.0 million punitive). The Company believes that these claims are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously against this litigation.
In accordance with ASC 450 “Contingencies,” the Company will record a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, the Company believes that such legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

11. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates its portfolio of properties primarily throughout the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern 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
 
   
Northeast
  Southeastern PA; Lehigh/Central PA; New Jersey
Midwest
  Minnesota; Milwaukee; Chicago
Mid-Atlantic
  Maryland; Carolinas; Richmond; Virginia Beach
South
  Jacksonville; Orlando; Boca Raton; Tampa; Texas; Arizona
Philadelphia/D.C.
  Philadelphia; Northern Virginia/Washington, D.C.
United Kingdom
  County of Kent; West Midlands
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 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):
