Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1.    Organization

Boston Properties, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). The Company is the sole general partner of Boston Properties Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and at September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 owned an approximate 80.8% (80.0%81.0% (80.2% at September 30, 2004)March 31, 2005) general and limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. Partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are denominated as “common units of partnership interest” (also referred to in this report as “OP Units”), “long term incentive units of partnership interest” (also referred to as “LTIP Units”) or “preferred units of partnership interest” (also referred to as “Preferred Units”).

Unless specifically noted otherwise, all references to OP Units exclude units held by the Company. A holder of an OP Unit may present such OP Unit to the Operating Partnership for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the time of issuance of OP Units to particular holders that may restrict such redemption right for a period of time, generally one year from issuance). Upon presentation of an OP Unit for redemption, the Operating Partnership must redeem such OP Unit for cash equal to the then value of a share of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”). In lieu of a cash redemption, the Company may elect to acquire such OP Unit for one share of Common Stock. Because the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at all times equals the number of OP Units that the Company owns, one share of Common Stock is generally the economic equivalent of one OP Unit, and the quarterly distribution that may be paid to the holder of an OP Unit equals the quarterly dividend that may be paid to the holder of a share of Common Stock. An LTIP Unit is generally the economic equivalent of a share of restricted common stock of the Company. LTIP Units, whether vested or not, will receive the same quarterly per unit distributions as OP Units, which equal per share dividends on Common Stock (See Note 12).

Stock.

At Septemebr 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, there was one series of Preferred Units outstanding (i.e., Series Two Preferred Units). The Series Two Preferred Units bear a distribution that is set in accordance with an amendment to the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership. Preferred Units may also be converted into OP Units at the election of the holder thereof or the Operating Partnership in accordance with the amendment to the partnership agreement (See also Note 8).

All references to the Company refer to Boston Properties, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership, collectively, unless the context otherwise requires.

Properties

At September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, the Company owned or had interests in a portfolio of 123 commercial real estate properties (125(121 and 126125 properties at December 31, 20042005 and September 30, 2004,March 31, 2005, respectively) (the “Properties”) aggregating approximately 42.042.7 million net rentable square feet (approximately 44.142.0 million and 44.244.1 million net rentable square feet at December 31, 20042005 and September 30, 2004,March 31, 2005, respectively), including threefour properties under construction and one redevelopment/expansion project collectively totaling approximately 1.11.2 million net rentable square feet, and structured parking for approximately 28,60232,925 vehicles containing approximately 8.79.6 million square feet. At September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, the Properties consist of:

2.    Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Boston Properties, Inc. does not have any other significant assets, liabilities or operations, other than its investment in the Operating Partnership, nor does it have employees of its own. The Operating Partnership, not Boston Properties, Inc., executes all significant business relationships. All majority-owned subsidiaries and affiliates over which the Company has financial and operating control and variable interest entities (“VIE”s) in which the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary are included in the consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company accounts for all other unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings of these joint ventures and companies is included in consolidated net income.

The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited; however, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year. The year end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosure required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Stock-based employee compensation plan

At September 30, 2005, the Company has stock-based employee compensation plans. Effective January 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123,” using the modified prospective application method for stock compensation awards. In addition, effective January 1, 2005, the Company adopted early SFAS No. 123 (revised) (“SFAS No. 123R”), “Share-Based Payment,” which revised the fair value based method of accounting for share-based payment liabilities, forfeitures and modifications of stock-based awards and clarified SFAS No. 123’s guidance in several areas, including measuring fair value, classifying an award as equity or as a

liability and attributing compensation cost to reporting periods. In 2003, the Company transitioned to granting restricted stock and/or LTIP Units (at the election of the eligible employee), as opposed to granting stock options, as its primary vehicle for employee equity compensation under its stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company had previously accounted for its stock-based employee compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of the Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. All outstanding options had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, and all outstanding options are currently exercisable. As a result, the following table only illustrates the effect on net income available to common shareholders and earnings per common share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions to stock-based employee compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004.

The modification consisted solely of the release of the Old Federal Reserve property from the collateral in exchange for the payment of a release fee totaling approximately $0.6 million.

6.    Unsecured Line of Credit

On May 19, 2005, the Company modified its $605.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Unsecured Line of Credit”) by extending the maturity date from January 17, 2006 to October 30, 2007, with a provision for a one-year extension at the option of the Company, subject to certain conditions, and by reducing the per annum variable interest rate on outstanding balances from Eurodollar plus 0.70% to Eurodollar plus 0.65% per annum. Under the Unsecured Line of Credit, a facility fee equal to 15 basis points per annum is payable in quarterly installments. The interest rate and facility fee are subject to adjustment in the event of a change in the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings. The Unsecured Line of Credit involves a syndicate of lenders. The Unsecured Line of Credit contains a competitive bid option that allows banks that are part of the lender consortium to bid to make loan advances to the Company at a reduced Eurodollar rate. For those lenders that participated in both the original facility and the modified facility, the initial direct debt issuance costs and the costs incurred with the modification are being amortized over the new term of the facility. For the lender that did not participate in the modification, the Company has reflected the write-off of the unamortized initial direct debt issuance costs as an extinguishment of debt, which did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. At September 30, 2005, theThe Company had an outstanding balance on the Unsecured Line of Credit of $265.0 million at March 31, 2006, of which $225.0 million which is collateralized by the Company’s 599 Lexington Avenue property and therefore is included in Mortgage Notes Payable in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

7.    Commitments and Contingencies

Under these other provisions, the Company is not compelled to purchase the interest of its outside joint venture partners.

Insurance

The Company carries insurance coverage on its properties of types and in amounts and with deductibles that it believes are in line with coverage customarily obtained by owners of similar properties. In response to the uncertainty in the insurance market following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the Federal Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, or TRIA, was enacted in November 2002 to require regulated insurers to make available coverage for certified acts of terrorism (as defined by the statute) through December 31, 2004, which date was extended to December 31, 2005 by the United States Department of Treasury on June 18, 2004.2004 and which date was further extended to December 31, 2007 by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005 (the “TRIA Extension Act”). TRIA expires on December 31, 2005,2007, and the Company cannot currently anticipate whether it will be extended. Effective as of April 15, 2005,March 1, 2006, the Company’s property insurance program per occurrence limits were increaseddecreased from $890 million to $1 billion to $800 million, including coverage for both “certified” and “non-certified” acts of terrorism as defined by TRIA. The amount of such insurance available in the market has decreased because of the natural disasters which occurred during 2005. The Company also carries nuclear, biological, chemical and chemicalradiological terrorism insurance coverage (“NBCNBCR Coverage”) for “certified” acts of terrorism as defined by TRIA, which is provided by IXP, Inc. as a direct insurer. Effective as of AprilMarch 1, 2005,2006, the Company extended the NBCNBCR Coverage to March 1, 2007, excluding the Company’s Value-Added Fund properties. Effective as of March 1, 2006, and the per occurrence limit for the NBCNBCR Coverage was increaseddecreased from $640 million$1 billion to $890$800 million. Effective as of May 2, 2005, this limit for NBC Coverage was increased to $1 billion. Under TRIA, the NBC Coverage is backstopped by the Federal Government after the payment of the required deductible and 10% coinsurance. Incoinsurance the eventNBCR Coverage is backstopped by the Federal Government if the aggregate industry insured losses resulting from a certified act of terrorism exceed a “program trigger.” Under the TRIA Extension Act (a) the program trigger is not extended beyond$5 million through March 31, 2006, $50 million from April 1, 2006 through December 31, 2005, (1)2006 and $100 million from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007 and (b) the NBC Coverage provided by IXP will terminate,coinsurance is 10% through December 31, 2006 and (2) a portion of the Company’s coverage for what would have constituted “certified” and “non-certified” acts of terrorism (other than NBC Coverage) had TRIA not expired will terminate and the Company will have the right to replace a portion of such terminated coverage. In the event TRIA is extended on terms which could expose IXP to a material increase in risk, the15% through December 31, 2007. The Company may elect to terminate the NBC coverage provided by IXP.NBCR Coverage when the program trigger increases on January 1, 2007, if there is a change in its portfolio or for any other reason. The Company intends to continue to monitor the scope, nature and cost of available terrorism insurance and maintain insurance in amounts and on terms that are commercially reasonable.

The Company also currently carries earthquake insurance on its properties located in areas known to be subject to earthquakes in an amount and subject to deductibles and self-insurance that itthe Company believes isare commercially reasonable. In addition, this insurance is subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property. Specifically, the Company currently carries earthquake insurance which covers its San Francisco portfolio with a $120 million per occurrence limit and a $120 million aggregate limit, $20 million of which is provided by IXP, Inc., as a direct insurer. The amount of the Company’s earthquake insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover losses from earthquakes. As a result of increased costs of coverage and limited availability, the amount of third-party earthquake insurance that the Company may be able to purchase on commercially reasonable terms may be reduced. In addition, the Company may discontinue earthquake insurance on some or all of its properties in the future if the premiums exceed the Company’s estimation of the value of the coverage.

In January 2002, the Company formed a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, IXP, Inc., or IXP, to act as a captive insurance company and be one of the elements of itsthe Company’s overall insurance program. IXP acts as a direct insurer with respect to a portion of the Company’s earthquake insurance coverage for its Greater San Francisco properties and its NBCthe Company’s NBCR Coverage for “certified acts of terrorism” under TRIA. Insofar as the Company owns IXP, it is responsible for its liquidity and capital resources, and the accounts of IXP are part of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In particular, if a loss occurs which is covered by the Company’s NBCR Coverage but is less than the applicable program trigger under TRIA, IXP would be responsible for the full amount of the loss without any backstop by the Federal Government. If the Company experiences a loss and IXP is required to pay under its insurance policy, the Company would ultimately record the loss to the extent of IXP’s required payment. Therefore, insurance coverage provided by IXP should not be considered as the equivalent of third-party insurance, but rather as a modified form of self-insurance.

The Company continues to monitor the state of the insurance market in general, and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism in particular, but itthe Company cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

commercially reasonable terms in future policy years. There are other types of losses, such as from wars or the presence of mold at the Company’s properties, for which itthe Company cannot obtain insurance at all or at a reasonable cost. With respect to such losses and losses from acts of terrorism, earthquakes or other catastrophic events, if the Company experiences a loss that is uninsured or that exceeds policy limits, itthe Company could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties, as well as the anticipated future revenues from those properties. Depending on the specific circumstances of each affected property, it is possible that the Company could be liable for mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the property. Any such loss could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business and financial condition and results of operations.

8.    Minority Interests

Minority interests relate to the interest in the Operating Partnership not owned by the Company and interests in property partnerships not wholly-owned by the Company. As of September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, the minority interest in the Operating Partnership consisted of 21,413,72421,167,704 OP Units, 380,820374,119 LTIP Units and 3,701,335 Series Two Preferred Units (or 4,857,395 OP Units on an as converted basis) held by parties other than the Company.

The minority interests in property partnerships consist of the outside equity interests in the ventures that own Citigroup Center and the office entity at Wisconsin Place. These ventures are consolidated with the financial results of the Company because the Company exercises control over the entities that own the properties. The equity interests in thethese ventures that are not owned by the Company, totaling approximately $19.1$17.6 million and $26.9$18.0 million at September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2004,2005, respectively, are included in Minority Interests on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The minority interest holder’s share of income for Citigroup Center is reflective of the Company’s preferential return on and of its capital.

On August 15, 2005, the Operating Partnership paid a distribution on its outstanding Series Two Preferred Units of $0.89239 per unit.

During August 2005, 381,000 Series Two Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership were converted by the holders into 500,000 OP Units. The OP Units were subsequently presented by the holders for redemption and were redeemed by the Company in exchange for an equal number of shares of Common Stock. The aggregate book value of the Preferred Units that were converted, as measured for each Preferred Unit on the date of its conversion, was approximately $13.2 million. The difference between the aggregate book value and the purchase price of these Preferred Units was approximately $22.3 million, which increased the recorded value of the Company’s net assets. In addition, the Company paid the accrued preferred distributions due to the holders of Preferred Units that were converted.

The Preferred Units at September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 consist solely of 3,701,335 Series Two Preferred Units, which bear a preferred distribution equal to the greater of (1) the distribution which would have been paid in respect of the Series Two Preferred Unit had such Series Two Preferred Unit been converted into an OP Unit (including both regular and special distributions) or (2) an increasing rate, ranging from 5.00% to 7.00% per annum (7.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 and 2004)2005) on a liquidation preference of $50.00 per unit, and are convertible into OP Units at a rate of $38.10 per Preferred Unit (1.312336 OP Units for each Preferred Unit). Distributions to holders of Preferred Units are recognized on a straight-line basis that approximates the effective interest method.

On July 21, 2005, Boston Properties, Inc., as general partnerDuring the three months ended March 31, 2006, 210,020 OP Units were presented by the holders for redemption and were redeemed by the Company in exchange for an equal number of the Operating Partnership, declared a special cash distribution onshares of Common Stock.

Holders of Series Two Preferred Units will participate in the special cash distribution on an as-converted basis in connection with their regular February 2006 distribution payment as provided for in the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement. As a result, the Company has accrued approximately $12.1 million related to the special cash distribution payable to holders of the Series Two Preferred Units and has allocated earnings to the Series Two Preferred Units of approximately $12.1 million, which amount has been reflected in Minority Interest in Operating Partnership within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lesser of (1) book value or (2) fair value less cost to sell. In addition, it requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions.

SFAS No. 144 only impacts the presentation of these properties within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

11.    Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share (“EPS”) has been computed pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 128. The following table provides a reconciliation of both the net income and the number of common shares used in the computation of basic EPS, which is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. During 2004, the Company adopted EITF 03-6 “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB 128” (“EITF 03-6”), which provides further guidance on the definition of participating securities. Pursuant to EITF 03-6, the Operating Partnership’s Series Two Preferred Units, which are reflected as Minority Interests in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share of the Company if the effect of applying the if-converted method is dilutive. The terms of the Series Two Preferred Units enable the holders to obtain OP Units of the Operating Partnership, as well as Common Stock of the Company. Accordingly, for the reporting periods in which the Operating Partnership’s net income is in excess of distributions paid on the OP Units, LTIP Units and Series Two Preferred Units, such income is allocated to the OP Units, LTIP Units and Series Two Preferred Units in proportion to their respective interests and the impact is included in the Company’s consolidated basic and diluted earnings per share computation due to its holding of the Operating Partnership’s securities. Prior periods of the Company have been restated to conform to the provisions of EITF 03-6. There were no amounts required to be allocated to the Series Two

For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, approximately $0.5 million was allocated to the Series Two Preferred Units in excess of distributions paid during the reporting period and is included in the Company’s computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.2005. Other potentially dilutive common shares, including securities of the Operating Partnership that are exchangeable for the Company’s Common Stock, and the related impact on earnings, are considered when calculating diluted EPS.

12.    Stock Option and Incentive Plan

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company issued 12,317 shares of restricted stock and 211,408 LTIP Units under the stock option and incentive plan. The shares of restricted stock and LTIP Units were valued at an aggregate of approximately $0.7 million and $10.5 million, respectively, based on observable market prices for similar instruments. An LTIP Unit is generally the economic equivalent of a share of restricted stock in the Company. The aggregate value of the LTIP Units is not included in Unearned Compensation within Stockholders’ Equity because they are securities in the Operating Partnership and have been included in Minority Interests in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Employees vest in restricted stock and LTIP Units over a five-year term. Restricted stock and LTIP Units are measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares or units granted, as adjusted for estimated forfeitures, and recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Dividends or distributions paid on both vested and unvested shares and units of restricted stock and LTIP Units are charged directly to Earnings in Excess of Dividends and Minority Interests, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, in accordance with the modified prospective application transition provisions of SFAS No. 123R, the Company has recognized compensation expense of approximately $50,000 relating to its unvested

BOSTON PROPERTIES, INC.

stock options for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. All outstanding stock options are currently exercisable. Stock-based compensation expense, which is reflected in General and Administrative Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, associated with all equity compensation plans was approximately $1.5 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $5.2 million and $3.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

In connection with the declaration of the special cash dividend of $2.50 per share of Common Stock paid on October 31, 2005 to shareholders of record on September 30, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors approved adjustments to all its outstanding stock option awards that were intended to ensure that its employees, directors and other persons who hold such stock options are not disadvantaged by the planned special cash dividend. The exercise prices and number of all outstanding options were adjusted such that each option had the same fair value to the holder before and after giving effect to the payment of the special cash dividend. Accordingly, pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, no compensation cost has been recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in connection with such adjustments. As a result, effective as of the close of business on September 27, 2005, 4,325,656 outstanding stock options with a weighted-average exercise price of $38.96 were adjusted to 4,481,864 outstanding options with a weighted-average exercise price of $37.61. There were no other adjustments to the terms of the outstanding stock option awards.

13.    Segment Information

The Company’s segments are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting which classifies its operations by both geographic area and property type. The Company’s segments by geographic area are Greater Boston, Greater Washington, D.C., Midtown Manhattan, Greater San Francisco and New Jersey. Segments by property type include: Class A Office, Office/Technical Industrial and Hotels.

Asset information by segment is not reported because the Company does not use this measure to assess performance. Therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments. Interest and other income, development and management services, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, minority interest in property partnership, income from unconsolidated joint ventures, minority interest in Operating Partnership, gains on sales of real estate (net of minority interest), loss from discontinued operations (net of minority interest) and lossesloss from early extinguishmentsextinguishment of debt are not included in Net Operating Income as the internal reporting addresses these items on a corporate level.

Net Operating Income is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as measured by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and it is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. All companies may not calculate Net Operating Income in the same manner. The Company considers Net Operating Income to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it helps both investors and management to understand the core operations of the Company’s properties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

In June 2005,On April 1, 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) regarding EITF 04-5, “Investor’s Accounting for an InvestmentCompany placed-in-service 12290 Sunrise Valley, a 182,000 net rentable square foot Class A office property located in a Limited Partnership When the Investor is the Sole General Partner and the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights” (“EITF 04-5”). The conclusion provides a framework for addressing the question of when a sole general partner, as defined in EITF 04-5, should consolidate a limited partnership. Pursuant to EITF 04-5, the general partner of a limited partnership should consolidate a limited partnership unless the limited partners have either (a) the substantive ability to dissolve the limited partnership or otherwise remove the general partners without cause, or (b) substantive participating rights. In addition, EITF 04-5 concluded that the guidance should be expanded to include all limited partnerships, including those with multiple general partners. EITF 04-5 is effective for reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.Reston, Virginia. The Company is currently evaluating and assessing the impact of this pronouncement.

ITEM 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

As used herein, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” refer to Boston Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation organized in 1997, individually or together with its subsidiaries, including Boston Properties Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, and our predecessors.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. This Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this report, or which management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “project,” “result,” “should,” “will” and similar expressions which do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected by the forward-looking statements. We caution you that while forward-looking statements reflect our good-faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

 

general risks affecting the real estate industry (including, without limitation, the inability to enter into or renew leases, dependence on tenants’ financial condition, and competition from other developers, owners and operators of real estate);

 

risks associated with the availability and terms of financing and the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments including the risk associated with interest rates impacting the cost and/or availability of financing;

 

risks associated with forward interest rate contracts and the effectiveness of such arrangements;

failure to manage effectively our growth and expansion into new markets and sub-markets or to integrate acquisitions successfully;

 

risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction (including, without limitation, construction delays, cost overruns, inability to obtain necessary permits and public opposition to such activities);

 

risks associated with downturns in the national and local economies, increases in interest rates, and volatility in the securities markets;

 

risks associated with actual or threatened terrorist attacks;

 

risks associated with the impact on our insurance program if TRIA, which expires on December 31, 2005,2007, is not extended or is extended on different terms;

 

costs of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other similar laws;

 

potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination;

 

risks associated with our potential failure to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and possible adverse changes in tax and environmental laws;

 

risks associated with possible state and local tax audits;

risks associated with our dependence on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed; and

 

the other risk factors identified in our most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K, including those described under the caption “Risk Factors.”

The risks set forth above are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Investors should also refer to our annual reports on Form 10-K and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for future periods and current reports on Form 8-K as we file them with the SEC, and to other materials we may furnish to the public from time to time through Forms 8-K or otherwise. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, future events, or otherwise, and you should not rely upon these forward-looking statements after the date of this report.

Overview

We are a fully integrated self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”)REIT and one of the largest owners and developers of Class A office properties in the United States. Our properties are concentrated in five markets—Boston, midtown Manhattan, Washington, D.C., San Francisco and Princeton, New Jersey and San Francisco.N.J. We generate revenue and cash primarily by leasing our Class A office space to our tenants. Factors we consider when we lease space include the creditworthiness of the tenant, the length of the lease, the rental rate to be paid, the costs of tenant improvements, operating costs and real estate taxes, our current and anticipated vacancy, current and anticipated future demand for office space and general economic factors.

We also generate cash through the sale of assets, which may be either non-core assets that have limited growth potential or core assets that command premiums from real estate investors.

The office markets in which we operate continued to show signs ofdramatic improvement duringinto the thirdfirst quarter of 2005. In addition, our portfolio experienced strong rental rate growth over the past twelve month period in our New York City, San Francisco, Northern Virginia and Waltham, MA. markets and each of our markets has shown positive absorption.

We believe that investors will continue to place a premium on high-quality, well-located office buildings resulting in a reduction in total return expectations and higher valuations.2006. We continue to reviewexperience strong rental growth in midtown Manhattan, San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and the Boston suburbs. In addition, during the first quarter of 2006, the Boston central business district and South San Francisco showed improvement. We expect this trend to continue, but its impact on our portfolio withrental revenues will be felt gradually given the possibilitymodest magnitude of additional sales. However, these conditions also make it more difficult2006 lease expirations. Moreover, some of the leases that expire in 2006 reflect the high rents achieved in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and therefore we will experience some roll down in rents despite the positive overall trends.

We continue to acquire assets at what we believe to be attractive ratesthat the best utilization of return over our long term investment horizon.

management skills is in the continued success of our development strategies. Given current market conditions, we generally believe that the returns we can generate from development are generallydevelopments will be significantly greater than those we couldcan expect to realize from acquisitions. As a result, we continue to pursue new development opportunities, which is one of our core capabilities. We are also considering alternative uses (i.e., non-office) for some of our land holdings and may participate in or undertake alternative development projects. In the third quarter of 2005, we commenced construction on our joint venture project located at 505 9th Street in Washington, D.C. We currently have five active construction projects underway, which aggregateown land totaling approximately 6.8 million developable square feet in our portfolio with another 2.4 million developable square feet in land purchase options.

On April 25, 2006, we executed a binding agreement for the sale of 280 Park Avenue, a Class A office property located in midtown Manhattan, for approximately $1.2 billion. We believe this agreement evidences a trend that sees allocators of capital continuing to place a premium on high-quality, well located office buildings resulting in lower capitalization rates and higher prices per square foot. As an estimated totalowner of these types of assets, we are pleased with higher valuations, and we intend to continue selectively selling some of our assets (including large core assets) to realize some of this value. Unfortunately, the same market conditions that are leading to record valuations for Class A office buildings and that make significant asset sales attractive to us are also continuing to make it more difficult for us to acquire assets at what we believe to be attractive rates of return.

To the extent that we sell a significant amount of assets and cannot efficiently use the proceeds for either our development activities or attractive acquisitions, we would, at the appropriate time, decide whether it is better to declare a special dividend, adopt a stock repurchase program, reduce our indebtedness or retain the cash for

future investment opportunities. Such a decision will depend on many factors including, among others, the timing, availability and terms of $357.4 million, as well as severaldevelopment and acquisition opportunities, within our pipeline. Our Seven Cambridgethen-current and Parcel E (12290 Sunrise Valley) projects are fully leasedanticipated leverage, the price of our common stock and REIT distribution requirements. We expect that we would distribute at least that amount of proceeds necessary for the Company to Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Lockheed Martin Corporation, respectively. Our overall leased percentage for Properties Under Construction is 82% as of November 4, 2005. Our estimated total investment for our properties under construction as of September 30, 2005 is detailed below:

The highlights of the three months ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 included the following:

 

On July 19, 2005,January 3, 2006, we refinancedcompleted the previously disclosed sale of a parcel of land at maturity our mortgage loan collateralized by 599 Lexington Avenuethe Prudential Center located in New York City. The mortgage loan totaling $225.0 million bore interest atBoston, Massachusetts, which is being developed as the Mandarin Oriental, a fixed rate of 7.0% per annum. The mortgage loan was refinanced through a $225.0 million secured draw from our revolving credit facility.hotel and condominium mixed-use complex.

 

On July 21, 2005, our Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $2.50 per common share which was paid on October 31, 2005 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2005. The special cash dividend was in addition to the regular quarterly dividend of $0.68 per common share that was paid on October 31, 2005. The holders of common units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership received the same amount, at the same time. Holders of Series Two Preferred Units of limited partnership interest will participate in the special cash dividend on an as-converted basis in connection with their regular FebruaryJanuary 17, 2006, distribution payment as provided in the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement.

From August 3, 2005 through September 21, 2005, we entered into nine forward-starting interest rate swap contracts which fix the 10-year treasury rate for a financing in February 2007 at a weighted average rate of 4.32% per annum on notional amounts aggregating $425 million. The swaps go into effect in February 2007 and expire in February 2017.

On August 5, 2005, we executed a contract for the sale of 40-46 Harvard Street, an industrial property totaling approximately 152,000 net rentable square feet located in Westwood, Massachusetts, at a sale price of approximately $7.8 million. We completed the sale on November 7, 2005.

On September 26, 2005, we commenced construction on the previously announced joint venture project consisting of a build-to-suit Class A office property located at 505 9th Street in Washington, D.C. totaling 323,000 net rentable square feet, of which 230,000 net rentable square feet have been pre-leased to a law firm for a 15-year term. In conjunction with the commencement of construction, our Operating Partnership issued approximately 254,000 common units of limited partnership interest and cash of approximately $4.9 million to the owners of our joint venture partner as consideration for our 50% interest in the joint venture. The joint venture partner had contributed the land for its 50% interest.

Transactions completed subsequent to September 30, 2005:

On October 1, 2005, we placed-in-service the West Garage phase of our Seven Cambridge Center development project located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Seven Cambridge Center is a fully-leased, build-to-suit project with approximately 231,000 net rentable square feet of office, research laboratory and retail space plus parking for approximately 800 cars.space. We have signed a lease forleased 100% of the space withto the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for occupancy by its affiliate, the Eli and Edythe L. Broad Institute. We expectOn October 1, 2005, we had placed-in-service the remaining development to be completed inWest Garage phase of the first quarterproject consisting of 2006.parking for approximately 800 cars.

 

On October 4, 2005,January 31, 2006, we repaid the mortgage loan collateralized by our Embarcadero101 Carnegie Center West Tower property located in Princeton, New Jersey totaling approximately $90.8$6.6 million using approximately $72.8 million of available cash and $18.0 million drawn under our Unsecured Line of Credit.cash. There was no prepayment penalty associated with the repayment. The mortgage loan bore interest at a fixed rate of 6.50%7.66% per annum and was scheduled to mature on JanuaryApril 1, 2006.

On February 24, 2006, we repaid the construction financing collateralized by our Seven Cambridge Center property located in Cambridge, Massachusetts totaling approximately $112.5 million using approximately $7.5 million of available cash and $105.0 million drawn under the Company’s Unsecured Line of Credit. The construction financing bore interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.10% per annum and was scheduled to mature in April 2007.

On March 13, 2006, a joint venture in which we have a 50% interest acquired a land parcel located in New York City for a purchase price of approximately $6.0 million.

On March 31, 2006, we commenced construction of South of Market, a Class A office project consisting of two buildings aggregating approximately 402,000 net rentable square feet located in Reston, Virginia. We expect that the project will be complete and initial occupancy is expected in the first quarter of 2008.

On March 31, 2006, we were added to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, a world-renowned index which includes 500 leading companies in selected industries of the U.S. economy.

 

  On November 4, 2005,For the third year in a row we soldwere selected as one of America’s Most Admired Companies in the Residence Inn by MarriotReal Estate Industry according to FORTUNE®, a 221-room extended-stay hotel magazine.

Transactions completed subsequent to March 31, 2006:

On April 1, 2006, we placed-in-service 12290 Sunrise Valley, a 182,000 net rentable square foot Class A office property located in Reston, Virginia. We have leased 100% of the space.

On April 3, 2006, 322,147 Series Two Preferred Units of our Operating Partnership were converted by the holders thereof into 422,765 OP Units. The OP Units were subsequently presented by the holders for redemption and were redeemed in exchange for an equal number of shares of Common Stock.

On April 6, 2006, our Operating Partnership closed on an offering of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.75% exchangeable senior notes due 2036. On May 2, 2006, our Operating Partnership closed on an additional $50 million aggregate principal amount of the notes as a result of the underwriter’s exercise of its over-allotment option. The notes will be exchangeable into our common stock at an initial exchange rate, subject to adjustment, of 8.9461 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes (or an initial exchange price of approximately $111.78 per share of common stock) under the

circumstances described in Cambridge, Massachusetts,the prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2006. Noteholders may require the Operating Partnership to purchase the notes at a gross sale pricepar initially on May 18, 2013 and, after that date, the notes will be redeemable at par at the option of approximately $68.0 million, less customary closing costs and a credit of approximately $3.0 million representing the property controlled furniture, fixtures and equipment escrow set aside for planned property upgrades.Operating Partnership under the circumstances described in the prospectus supplement.

 

On November 9, 2005,April 13, 2006, we completed a land acquisition located in Waltham, Massachusetts for a purchase price of $16.0 million.

On April 25, 2006, we executed a contractbinding agreement for the sale of Embarcadero Center West Tower,280 Park Avenue, a Class A office property totalingof approximately 475,0001,179,000 net rentable square feet located in San Francisco, California,midtown Manhattan, for approximately $1.2 billion. Under the agreement, we have agreed to enter into a master lease agreement with the buyer at closing. Under the master lease agreement, we will guarantee that the buyer receives at least a gross sale priceminimum amount of base rent from approximately $205.8 million, less74,340 square feet of space during the ten-year period following the expiration of the current leases for this space. The current leases for this space are scheduled to expire at various times between June 2006 and October 2007. The aggregate amount of base rent we will guarantee over the entire period from 2006 to 2017 is approximately $67.3 million. Our guarantee obligations, which will be in the form of base rent payments to the buyer, will be reduced by the amount of base rent payable, whether or not actually paid, under qualifying leases for this space that we obtain from prospective tenants. The buyer will bear all customary leasing costs for this space, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions. We have also agreed to provide to the buyer monthly revenue support from the closing costs and unfunded tenant obligations.date until December 31, 2008. The aggregate amount of the revenue support payments will be approximately $22.6 million. The sale is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.conditions and, although there can be no assurances that the sale will be consummated, it is expected to close during the second quarter of 2006.

 

On April 27, 2006, we entered into a redemption agreement with the minority interest holders in the limited liability company that owns Citigroup Center. Under the agreement, we have agreed to redeem the outside members’ equity interests in the venture for an aggregate redemption price of $100 million, with $50 million to be paid at closing and $25 million to be paid on each of the first and second anniversaries of the closing or, if earlier, in connection with a sale of Citigroup Center. Our Operating Partnership is the managing member of this limited liability company and is entitled to earn a cumulative compounding 10% priority return on our equity (the “OP Priority Return”) until April 25, 2011, and a residual 65.5% interest in the limited liability company. We have been reporting the limited liability company on a consolidated basis and, as a result of the OP Priority Return, we have been receiving all of the cash flow from the property. The redemption transaction will therefore not have any current effect on our share of the cash flow from the property; however, our share of the operating cash flow would have decreased beginning in 2011 if we had not otherwise entered into the redemption transaction. In addition, the parties agreed to terminate the existing tax protection agreement as of the closing and that we shall thereafter have the right to transfer the property without the need for any consent of the outside members. We expect the closing to occur on or before May 31, 2006.

On April 28, 2006, we issued 5,862 shares of restricted stock and our Operating Partnership issued 140,561 LTIP Units to employees, valued at an aggregate of approximately $12.9 million, under our stock option and incentive plan.

During April 2006, we issued 887,854 shares of our Common Stock upon the exercise by certain employees of options to purchase Common Stock.

On May 8, 2006, a joint venture in which we have a 50% interest acquired land parcels located in New York City for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $15.3 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting

policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. From time to time, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Real Estate

Upon acquisitions of real estate, we assess the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets, including land, buildings, tenant improvements, “above-” and “below-market” leases, origination costs, acquired in-place leases, other identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and allocate the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including land at appraised value and buildings at replacement cost. We assess and consider fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates, as well as available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. We also consider an allocation of purchase price of other acquired intangibles, including acquired in-place leases that may have a customer relationship intangible value, including (but not limited to) the nature and extent of the existing relationship with the tenants, the tenant’stenants’ credit quality and

expectations of lease renewals. Based on our acquisitions to date, our allocation to customer relationship intangible assets has been immaterial.

We record acquired “above-” and “below-market” leases at their fair values using(using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired,acquired) equal to the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (2) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-ratefixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values that are based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors to be considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, we consider leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.

Real estate is stated at depreciated cost. The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of property, legal fees and other acquisition costs. Costs directly related to the development of properties are capitalized. Capitalized development costs include interest, internal wages, property taxes, insurance, and other project costs incurred during the period of development.

Management reviews its long-lived assets used in operations for impairment when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates an impairment in value. An assetimpairment loss is considered impaired whenrecognized if the undiscounted future cash flows arecarrying amount of its assets is not sufficient to recover the asset’s carryingrecoverable and exceeds its fair value. If such impairment is present, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. Since cash flows on properties considered to be “long-lived assets to be held and used” as defined by SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” (“SFAS No. 144”) are considered on an undiscounted basis to determine whether an asset has been impaired, our established strategy of holding properties over the

long term directly decreases the likelihood of recording an impairment loss. If our strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized and such loss could be material. If we determine that an impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value. No such impairment losses have been recognized to date.

SFAS No. 144 which was adopted on January 1, 2002, requires that qualifying assets and liabilities and the results of operations that have been sold, or otherwise qualify as “held for sale,” be presented as discontinued operations in all periods presented if the property operations are expected to be eliminated and we will not have significant continuing involvement following the sale. The components of the property’s net income that is reflected as discontinued operations include the net gain (or loss) onupon the eventual disposition of the property held for sale, operating results, depreciation and interest expense (if the property is subject to a secured loan which willloan). We generally consider assets to be repaid“held for sale” when the transaction has been approved by our Board of Directors, or assigned upon sale).a committee thereof, and there are no known significant contingencies relating to the sale, such that the property sale within one year is considered probable. Following the classification of a property as “held for sale,” no further depreciation is recorded on the assets.

A variety of costs are incurred in the acquisition, development and leasing of our properties. After determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific component of a project that is benefited. Determination of when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization must cease involves a degree of judgment.judgement. Our capitalization policy on our development properties is guided by SFAS No. 34 “Capitalization of Interest Cost” and SFAS No. 67 “Accounting for Costs and the Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects.” The costs of land and buildingbuildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. The capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes, salaries and related costs and other costs incurred during the period of development. We consider a construction project as substantially completed and held available for

occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We cease capitalization on the portionsportion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and we capitalize only those costs associated with the portionsportion under construction.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Except for ownership interests in a variable interest entity,entities, we account for our investments in joint ventures under the equity method of accounting because we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, these entities. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, and are subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. Any difference between the carrying amount of these investments on our balance sheet and the underlying equity in net assets is amortized as an adjustment to equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures over 40 years.the life of the related asset. Under the equity method of accounting, our net equity is reflected onwithin the consolidated balance sheets,Consolidated Balance Sheets, and our share of net income or loss from the joint ventures is included onwithin the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of operations.Operations. The joint venture agreements may designate different percentage allocations among investors for profits and losses, however, our recognition of joint venture income or loss generally follows the joint venture’s distribution priorities, which may change upon the achievement of certain investment return thresholds. For ownership interests in variable interest entities, we consolidate those in which we are the primary beneficiary.

Revenue Recognition

Base rental revenue is reported on a straight-line basis over the terms of our respective leases. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, we recognize rental revenue of acquired in-place “above-” and “below-market” leases at their fair values over the terms of the respective leases. Accrued rental income as reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets represents rental income recognized in excess of rent payments actually received pursuant to the terms of the individual lease agreements.

Our leasing strategy is generally to secure financially stablecreditworthy tenants that meet our underwriting guidelines. Furthermore, following the initiation of a lease, we continue to actively monitor the tenant’s creditworthiness to

ensure that all tenant-relatedtenant related assets are recorded at their realizable values.value. When assessing a tenant’stenant credit quality, we:

 

review relevant financial information, regarding the tenant, including:

 

financial ratios;

 

net worth;

 

debt to market capitalization; and

 

liquidity;

 

evaluate the depth and experience of the tenant’s management team; and

 

assess the strength/growth of the tenant’s industry.

As a result of the underwriting process, tenants are then categorized into one of three categories:

 

low risk tenants;
(1)low risk tenants;

 

the tenant’s credit is such that we require collateral in which case we:
(2)the tenant’s credit is such that we require collateral in which case we:

 

require a security deposit; and/or

 

reduce up-frontupfront tenant improvement investment;investments; or

 

the tenant’s credit is below our acceptable parameters.

(3)the tenant’s credit is below our acceptable parameters.

We maintain a rigorous process of monitoring the credit quality of our tenant base. We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts arising from estimated losses that could result from the tenant’s inability to

make required current rent payments and an allowance against accrued rental income for future potential lossesloses that we deem to be unrecoverable over the term of the lease.

Tenant receivables are assigned a credit rating of 1-4 with a rating of 1 representing the highest possible rating with no allowance recorded and a rating of 4 representing the lowest credit rating, recording a full reserve against the receivable balance. Among the factors considered in determining the credit ratings are:rating include:

 

payment history;

 

credit status and change in status (credit ratings for public companies are used as a primary metric);

 

change in tenant space needs (i.e., expansion/downsize);

 

tenant financial performance;

 

economic conditions in a specific geographic region; and

 

industry specific credit considerations.

If our estimates of collectibility differ from the cash received, the timing and amount of our reported revenue could be impacted. The average remaining term of our in-place tenant leases was approximately 7.47.7 years as of September 30, 2005 calculated on a weighted average, based on net rentable square feet.March 31, 2006. The credit risk is mitigated by the high quality of our existing tenant base, reviews of prospective tenants’ risk profiles prior to lease execution and ongoingcontinual monitoring of our portfolio to identify potential problem tenants.

Recoveries from tenants, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs, are recognized as revenue in the period during which the expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, Issue 99-19 “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent,” or Issue 99-19. Issue 99-19 requires that these reimbursements be recorded on a gross basis, as we are generally the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, have discretion in selecting the supplier and have credit risk.

Our hotel revenues are derived from room rentals and other sources such as charges to guests for long-distance telephone service, fax machine use, movie and vending commissions, meeting and banquet room revenue and laundry services. Hotel revenues are recognized as earned.

We receive management and development fees from third parties. Management fees are recorded and earned based on a percentage of collected rents at the properties under management, and not on a straight-line basis, because such fees are contingent upon the collection of rents.

We review each development agreement and record development fees on a straight-line basis or percentage of completion depending on the risk associated with each project. Profit on development fees earned from joint venture projects is recognized as revenue to the extent of the third party partners’ ownership interest.

Gains on sales of real estate are recognized pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” The specific timing of the sale is measured against various criteria in SFAS No. 66 related to the terms of the transactions and any continuing involvement in the form of management or financial assistance associated with the properties. If the sales criteria are not met, we defer gain recognition and account for the continued operations of the property by applying the finance, installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate, until the sales criteria are met.

Depreciation and Amortization

We compute depreciation and amortization on our properties using the straight-line method based on estimated useful asset lives. In accordance with SFAS No. 141, we allocate the acquisition cost of real estate to land, building, tenant improvements, acquired “above-” and “below-market” leases, origination costs and acquired in-place leases based on management’san assessment of their fair valuesvalue and depreciate or amortize these assets over their useful lives. The amortization of acquired “above-” and “below- market”“below-market” leases and acquired in-place leases is recorded as an adjustment to revenue and depreciation and amortization, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For purposes of disclosure, we calculate the fair value of our mortgage notes payable and unsecured senior notes. We discount the spread between the future contractual interest payments and future interest payments on our mortgage debt and unsecured notes based on a current market rate. In determining the current market rate, we add our estimate of a market spread to the quoted yields on federal government treasury securities with similar maturity dates to our own debt. Because our valuations of our financial instruments are based on these types of estimates, the fair value of our financial instruments may change if our estimates do not prove to be accurate.

Results of Operations

The following discussion is based on our Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 and 2004.

2005.

At September 30,March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005, and September 30, 2004, we owned or had interests in a portfolio of 123 and 126125 properties, respectively (in each case, the “Total Property Portfolio”). As a result of changes within our Total Property Portfolio, the financial data presented below shows significant changes in revenue and expenses from period-to-period. Accordingly, we do not believe that our period-to-period financial data are necessarily meaningful. Therefore, the comparison of operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2006 and 2005 and 2004 show separately the changes attributable to the properties that were owned by us throughout each period compared (the “Same Property Portfolio”) and the changes attributable to the Total Property Portfolio.

In our analysis of operating results, particularly to make comparisons of net operating income between periods meaningful, it is important to provide information for properties that were in-service and owned by us throughout each period presented. We refer to properties acquired or placed in-service prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented and owned by us through the end of the latest period presented as our Same Property

Portfolio. The Same Property Portfolio therefore excludes properties placed in-service, acquired or repositioned after the beginning of the earliest period presented or disposed of prior to the end of the latest period presented.

Net operating income, or “NOI,” is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income available to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, plus minority interest in Operating Partnership, lossesloss from early extinguishmentsextinguishment of debt, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and general and administrative expenses, less gains on sales of real estateexpense, loss from discontinued operations (net of minority interest), income (loss) from discontinued operations (net of minority interest),less gains on sales of real estate and land held for development (net of minority interest), income from unconsolidated joint ventures, minority interestsinterest in property partnerships,partnership, interest and other income and development and management services income.revenue. We use NOI internally as a performance measure and believe NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Therefore, we believe NOI is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of our real estate assets.

Our management also uses NOI to evaluate regional property level performance and to make decisions about resource allocations. Further, we believe NOI is useful to investors as a performance measure because, when compared across periods, NOI reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and development activity on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. NOI excludes certain components from net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property’s results of operations. For example, interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset and is often incurred at the corporate level as opposed to the property level. In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort operating performance at the property level. NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, NOI should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in our consolidated financial statements. NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions.

Comparison of the ninethree months ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 to the ninethree months ended September 30, 2004.March 31, 2005.

The table below shows selected operating information for the Same Property Portfolio and the Total Property Portfolio. The Same Property Portfolio consists of the 112115 properties totaling approximately 29.230.5 million net rentable square feet of office space (excluding approximately 8.79.6 million square feet of

structured parking for approximately 28,60232,925 vehicles). The Same Property Portfolio includes threetwo hotel properties, properties acquired or placed in-service on or prior to January 1, 20042005 and owned through September 30, 2005.March 31, 2006. The Total Property Portfolio includes the effects of the other properties either placed in-service, acquired or repositioned after January 1, 20042005 or disposed of on or prior to September 30, 2005.March 31, 2006. This table includes a reconciliation from the Same Property Portfolio to the Total Property Portfolio by also providing information for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2006 and 2005 and 2004 with respect to the properties which were acquired, placed in-service, repositioned or sold.

In September 2004, we commenced the redevelopment of our Capital Gallery property in Washington, D.C. Capital Gallery is a Class A office property currently totaling approximately 397,000 net rentable square feet. The project entails removing a three-story low-rise section of the property, which is comprised of 100,000 net rentable square feet, from in-service status and developing it into a ten-story office building resulting in a total complex size of approximately 610,000 net rentable square feet upon completion.which we expect to complete in the third quarter of 2006. This property is included in Properties Repositioned for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2004.March 31, 2005.

Rental revenue from the Same Property Portfolio increased $15.5approximately $11.7 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004.2005. Included in rental revenue is an overall increase in base rental revenue of approximately $4.7 million, as well as an$5.0 million. Our same property in-service occupancy has increase in straight-line rents of approximately $3.2 million.from 93.2% on March 31, 2005 to 94.4% on March 31, 2006. Approximately $7.6$5.8 million of the increase from the Same Property Portfolio was due to an increase in recoveries from tenants attributed to higher operating expenses. With respect to leases that expire duringand approximately $0.9 million of the next 15 months, we anticipate that the estimated market rents on those spaces indicate a roll-down of approximately 9%. We currently expect net operating incomeincrease from the Same Property Portfolio was due to an increase modestly, up to approximately 2%,in parking and other income. With relatively little roll-over in 2006 comparedand much of the related rent commencement deferred into 2007 for much of our currently vacant space, we do not expect more than a modest increase in the Same Property Portfolio rental revenue during the remainder of 2006.

The increase in rental revenue from Properties Placed In-Service of approximately $4.3 million relates to 2005.

Development and Management Services

Our third-party fee income decreased approximately $1.5$0.2 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 compared to 20042005 due to the completion of third-party development projects at the National Institute of Health in Washington, D.C. and near completion of ourthe project at 90 Church Street in New York City, partially offset by obtainingmaintaining management contracts at Riverfront Plaza and 100 East Pratt Street. In connection withfollowing the sales of Riverfront Plaza and 100 East Pratt Street, we are managing each of these properties, for a fee, through agreements with the buyers.Riverfront Plaza and Embarcadero Center West Tower. We expect our third-party management and development fee income in 2006 to be between $13.0 million and $15.0 million.

million which includes the impact of our continued management of 280 Park Avenue following its expected sale during the second quarter of 2006.

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income decreased slightly for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. In the first quarter of 2004 we recognized a net amount ofincreased by approximately $7.0 million in connection with the termination by a third-party of an agreement to enter into a ground lease with us. Excluding this termination, interest income has increased approximately $6.8$0.3 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004 due to higher cash balances as well as higher interest rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. We expect interest income to decline in the fourth quarter of 2005 and into 2006 as a result of the special cash dividend that was paid to common stockholders on October 31, 2005,higher overall interest rates as well as repaymentthe timing of certain outstanding debt.our cash balances for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to March 31, 2005.

The sale of our 280 Park Avenue property in New York City is expected to close during the second quarter of 2006. At this time, we have not declared our intended use of proceeds from the sale. Following the consummation of the transaction, we expect to distribute at least the amount of the taxable gain as a special divided unless we are able to identify an alternate use of the proceeds that would allow for a tax deferral of such gain. Based on the uncertain timing of these decisions, we cannot currently anticipate the impact of the sale of 280 Park Avenue on our interest income for the remainder of 2006.

Other Expenses

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increaseddecreased approximately $0.2 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 compared to 2005. An overall increase of approximately $1.1 million was attributed to bonuses and salaries for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2004March 31, 2006 compared to 2005. These increases were offset by approximately $4.2 million. A majority of the increase is attributed to compensation expense increases during 2005. An aggregatea decrease of approximately $2.0$0.5 million of the increase is attributable to changes inaudit- and legal-related expenses, as well as other overall decreases of approximately $0.4 million. We anticipate our general and administrative expenses to be approximately $60.0 million for the form of long-term equity-based compensation, as further described below.

year 2006.

Commencing in 2003, we issued restricted stock and/or LTIP Units, (at the election of eligible employees), as opposed to granting stock options and restricted stock, under the 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan as our primary vehicle for employee equity compensation. An LTIP Unit is generally the economic equivalent of a share of our restricted stock. Employees generally vest in restricted stock and LTIP Units over a five-year term (for awards granted prior to 2003, vesting is in equal annual installments; for those granted in 2003 and beyond,later, vesting is over a five-year term with annual vesting of 0%, 0%, 25%, 35%, and 40%). Restricted stock and LTIP Units are valued based on observable market prices for similar instruments. Such value is recognized as an expense ratably over the corresponding employee service period. LTIP Units whichthat were issued in January 2005 and any future LTIP Unit awards will be valued using an option pricing model in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. To the extent restricted stock or LTIP Units are forfeited prior to vesting, the corresponding previously recognized expense is reversed as

an offset to “stock-based compensation.” Stock-based compensation expense associated with $6.1 million of equity-based compensation that was granted in January 2003 and $9.7 million in January 2004 will generally be expensed ratably as such restricted stock and LTIP Units vests over a five-year vesting period. Stock-based compensation associated with approximately $9.7$11.4 million of restricted stock and LTIP Units granted in January 20042005 and approximately $11.2$12.9 million of restricted stock and LTIP Units granted in January 2005April 2006 will also be incurred ratably as such restricted stock and LTIP Units vest. To the extent we continue to grant restricted stock andand/or LTIP Unit awards, our expense will continue to increase significantly until 2008 even if there are no future increases in the aggregate value of restricted equity granted each year. This is because we expense the value of the restricted stock and LTIP Unit awards ratably over the five-year vesting period and a full run-rate will not be achieved until 2008.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the Total Property Portfolio increaseddecreased approximately $6.5$4.5 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004.2005. The majority of the increase isdecreases are due to (1) the cessation of interest capitalization at Times Square Tower and New Dominion Technology Park, Building Two, which collectively increased interest expense by $12.5 million, and (2) the acquisition of 140 Kendrick Street and 1330 Connecticut Avenue in the second quarter of 2004, which increased interest expense by $1.4 million. This increase was offset by the repayment of outstanding mortgage debt in connection with the sales of Riverfront Plaza and 100 East Pratt Street in the second quarter of 2005, as well as Embarcadero Center West Tower in October 2005, which decreased interest expense by $5.0$4.6 million, (2) the impact of refinancing our fixed rate debt collateralized by 599 Lexington Avenue using borrowings under our unsecured line at a lower interest rate which decreased interest expense approximately $1.2 million, and (3) the repayment of our mortgage loan collateralized by 601 and 651 Gateway Boulevard, which decreased interest expense approximately $0.8 million. These decreases were offset by increases of approximately $2.2 million at Times Square Tower due to increasing interest rates (3.59% on March 31, 2005 and 5.25% on March 31, 2006) as well as the repaymentincreased principal balance due to the refinance of the mortgage debt at One and Two Reston Overlook andloan in June 2005. We intend to defease the 12300 and 12310 Sunrise Valley Drive buildingsoutstanding mortgage indebtedness secured by 280 Park Avenue in connection with the beginningsale of 2004 which decreasedthe property. As a result, we expect interest expense by $2.6 million.

to decrease during the remainder of 2006.

At September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, our variable rate debt consisted of our construction loans on our Times Square Tower and Capital Gallery Expansion, and Cambridge Center Seven construction projects, as well as our borrowings under our Unsecured Lineunsecured line of Credit.credit.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense for the Total Property Portfolio increaseddecreased approximately $19.2$1.0 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 compared to 2005. The majority of the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Depreciationchange to depreciation was due to the sales of Embarcadero Center West Tower, 100 East Pratt Street and Amortization from Properties Placed In-Service and Properties Acquired increased approximately $11.3 million, Same Property Portfolio increased approximately $14.8 million, Properties Sold decreased approximately $3.8 million and Properties Repositioned decreased approximately $3.1 million. In connection with the redevelopment project at Capital Gallery,Riverfront Plaza in 2005, which is classified as Properties Repositioned, we recognized an accelerated depreciation chargeresulted in a decrease of approximately $2.6$3.3 million. This decrease was offset partially by increased depreciation of $1.4 million due to the placing in-service our Seven Cambridge Center development project in the thirdfirst quarter of 2004 representing the net book value of the portion of the three-story low-rise portion of the building being redeveloped.

Capitalized Costs

Costs directly related to the development of rental properties are not included in our operating results. These costs are capitalized and included in real estate assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and amortized over their useful lives. Capitalized development costs include interest, wages, property taxes, insurance and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized wages for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 were $4.6 million and $4.4 million, respectively. These costs are not included in the general and administrative expenses discussed above. Interest capitalized for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $3.3 million and $10.1 million, respectively. These costs are not included in the interest expense referenced above. During the third quarter of 2004, we placed in-service Times Square Tower and New Dominion Technology Park, Building Two development projects and ceased capitalizing the related interest in accordance with our capitalization policy.

Losses from early extinguishments of debt

In connection with the sales of 100 East Pratt Street and Riverfront Plaza, we repaid the mortgage loans collateralized by the properties totaling approximately $188 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recognized a loss from early extinguishment of debt totaling approximately $11.0 million, consisting of prepayment fees of approximately $10.8 million and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $0.2 million. We also recognized a $1.9 million loss from early extinguishment of debt which relates to the refinancing of our Times Square Tower mortgage loan as well as the modification of our Unsecured Line of Credit.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we recognized a loss from early extinguishment of debt totaling approximately $6.3 million related to the repayments of our mortgage loans collateralized by One and Two Reston Overlook and the 12300 and 12310 Sunrise Valley Drive buildings.

Joint Ventures

During the first quarter of 2005, we placed in-service 901 New York Avenue, a 539,000 net rentable square foot Class A office property located in Washington, D.C., in which we have a 25% ownership interest. The

addition of this property contributed approximately $1.2 million to joint venture income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. As of November 4, 2005, this property is 98% leased.

Other

The decrease in income (loss) from discontinued operations in the Total Property Portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was a result of properties sold or designated as held for sale during 2005 and 2004 which are no longer included in our operations as of September 30, 2005. Below is a list of properties included in discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004:

Gains on sales of real estate for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 in the Total Property Portfolio relate to the sales of Riverfront Plaza and 100 East Pratt Street which are not included in discontinued operations due to our continuing involvement in the management, for a fee, of these properties after the sales. Gains on sales of real estate for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 in the Total Property Portfolio relate to the sale of Hilltop Office Center and a land parcel in Burlington, MA. Hilltop Office Center is not included in discontinued operations due to our continuing involvement in the management, for a fee, of these properties after the sale.

Gains on sales of land held for development for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 in the Total Property Portfolio relate to the sale of Decoverly Four and Five, consisting of two undeveloped land parcels located in Rockville, Maryland.

The only property included in our gains on sales of real estate from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 in the Total Property Portfolio was the Old Federal Reserve. Properties included in our gains on sales of real estate from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 in the Total Property Portfolio are related to the sale of 204 Second Avenue, Sugarland Business Park-Building One, 430 Rozzi Place, Sugarland Business Park-Building Two, The Arboretum, Decoverly Two, Three, Six and Seven and 38 Cabot Boulevard.

Minority interest in Operating Partnership increased $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to September 30, 2004. In connection with the special cash distribution, holders of Series Two Preferred Units will participate on an as-converted basis in connection with their regular February 2006 distribution payment as provided for in the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement. As a result, we accrued approximately $12.1 million related to the special cash distribution payable to holders of the Series Two Preferred Units and have allocated earnings to the Series Two Preferred Units of approximately $12.1 million, which amount has been reflected in minority interest in Operating Partnership for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in the minority interest in our Operating Partnership’s income allocation related to changes in the partnership’s ownership interests and an underlying change in allocable income.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2005 to the three months ended September 30, 2004.

The table below shows selected operating information for the Same Property Portfolio and the Total Property Portfolio. The Same Property Portfolio consists of the 116 properties totaling approximately 29.8 million net rentable square feet of office space (excluding approximately 8.7 million square feet of structured parking for approximately 28,602 vehicles). Same Property Portfolio includes our three hotel properties, properties acquired or placed in-service on or prior to July 1, 2004 and owned through September 30, 2005. The Total Property Portfolio includes the effects of the other properties either placed in-service, acquired or repositioned after July 1, 2004 or disposed of on or prior to September 30, 2005. This table includes a reconciliation from the Same Property Portfolio to the Total Property Portfolio by also providing information for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 with respect to the properties which were acquired, placed in-service, repositioned or sold.

In September 2004, we commenced the redevelopment of our Capital Gallery property in Washington, D.C. Capital Gallery is a Class A office property currently totaling approximately 397,000 net rentable square feet. The project entails removing a three-story low-rise section of the property, which is comprised of 100,000 net rentable square feet, from in-service status and developing it into a ten-story office building resulting in a total complex size of approximately 610,000 net rentable square feet upon completion. This property is included in Properties Repositioned for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004.

Rental revenue from the Same Property Portfolio increased $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004. Included in rental revenue is an overall increase to base rental revenue of approximately $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to September 30, 2004, as well as an increase of $1.8 million attributed to straight-line rents. Approximately $3.2 million of the increase from the Same Property Portfolio was due to an increase in recoveries from tenants attributed to higher operating expenses. Offset by increases in the Same Property Portfolio was a decrease of approximately $0.9 million related to parking and other rental related revenue. With respect to leases that expire during the next 15 months, we anticipate that the estimated market rents on those spaces indicate a roll-down of approximately 9%. We currently expect net operating income from the Same Property Portfolio to show an increase up to 2% in 2006 compared to 2005.

In May 2005, we completed the sales of 100 East Pratt Street in Baltimore, Maryland and Riverfront Plaza in Richmond, Virginia for net cash proceeds of approximately $92.8 million and $129.9 million, respectively. These properties are included in Properties Sold for the three months ended September 30, 2004 due to our continuing involvement as the property manager for each property. Revenue from Properties Sold decreased by approximately $11.5 million, as detailed below:

Termination Income

Termination income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was related to seven tenants across the portfolio that terminated their leases and recognized termination income totaling approximately $2.1 million. This compared to termination income earned for the three months ended September 30, 2004 related to eight tenants totaling $1.8 million. For the remainder of 2005 we expect to recognize approximately $1.0 million in termination income. During 2005, we have completed some complex leasing transactions which involved taking

space back from tenants with resulting termination income and releasing the space at higher rents. We currently anticipate realizing approximately $1.0 million in termination income for the remainder of 2005 and approximately $4.0 million in termination income for the year ended 2006.

Operating Expenses

The $2.4 million increase in property operating expenses in the Total Property Portfolio (real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, repairs and maintenance, cleaning and other property-related expenses) is comprised of increases and decreases within the four categories that represent our Total Property Portfolio. Operating expenses for Same Property Portfolio increased approximately $4.7 million, Properties Placed In-Service increased approximately $1.7 million, Properties Sold decreased approximately $3.9 million and Properties Repositioned decreased approximately $0.1 million.

We placed Times Square Tower and New Dominion Technology Park, Building Two in-service during the third quarter of 2004 which increased operating expenses by approximately $1.7 million, as detailed below:

Operating expenses from the Same Property Portfolio increased approximately $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Included in Same Property Portfolio operating expenses is an increase to real estate tax expense of approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 due to increased real estate tax assessments, with approximately half of this increase specifically attributed to properties located in New York City. Remaining increases to the Same Property Portfolio result from overall increases to the repairs and maintenance and utility costs for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 2004.

A decrease of approximately $3.9 million in Total Property Portfolio operating expenses relates to the sales of Riverfront Plaza and 100 East Pratt Street, as detailed below:

We continue to review and monitor the impact of the hurricane season and rising energy costs, the potential expiration of TRIA and other factors on our operating budgets for the remainder of 2005 and fiscal year 2006. Because some operating expenses are not recoverable from tenants, an increase in operating expenses due to one or more of the foregoing factors could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Hotel Net Operating Income

Net operating income for the hotel properties increased by approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to September 30, 2004. The third quarter revenue per available room is

down slightly over the third quarter of 2004 due to the Democratic National Convention held in Boston during the third quarter of 2004. On November 4, 2005, we sold the Cambridge Residence Inn property. We expect the two remaining hotels to contribute approximately $7.0 million to net operating income in the remainder of 2005 and between $19.0 million to $20.0 million in 2006.

Development and Management Services

Our third-party fee income decreased by approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to 2004 due to the completion of third-party development projects in Washington, D.C. and near completion of our project at 90 Church Street in New York City, offset by obtaining management contracts at Riverfront Plaza and 100 East Pratt Street. In connection with the sales of Riverfront Plaza and 100 East Pratt Street, we are managing each of these properties, for a fee, through agreements with the buyers. We expect our third-party management and development fee income in 2006 to be between $13.0 million and $15.0 million.

Interest and Other Income

Interest and other income increased by $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 due to higher cash balances as well as higher interest rates during the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. We expect interest income to decline in the fourth quarter of 2005 and into 2006 as a result of the special cash dividend that was paid to common shareholders on October 31, 2005, as well as repayment of certain outstanding debt.

Other Expenses

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses in the Total Property Portfolio increased slightly for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to September 30, 2004. An aggregate of approximately $0.5 million of the increase is attributable to changes in the form of long-term equity-based compensation, as further described below.

Commencing in 2003, we issued restricted stock and/or LTIP Units (at the election of eligible employees), as opposed to granting stock options and restricted stock, under the 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan as our primary vehicle for employee equity compensation. An LTIP Unit is generally the economic equivalent of a share of our restricted stock. Employees generally vest in restricted stock and LTIP Units over a five-year term (for awards granted prior to 2003, vesting is in equal annual installments; for those granted in 2003 and beyond, vesting is over a five-year term of 0%, 0%, 25%, 35%, and 40%). Restricted stock and LTIP Units are valued based on observable market prices for similar instruments. Such value is recognized as an expense ratably over the corresponding employee service period. LTIP Units which were issued in January 2005 and future LTIP Unit awards will be valued using an option pricing model in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. To the extent restricted stock or LTIP Units are forfeited prior to vesting, the corresponding previously recognized expense is reversed as an offset to “stock-based compensation.” Stock-based compensation expense associated with $6.1 million of equity-based compensation that was granted in January 2003 will generally be expensed

ratably as such restricted stock and LTIP Units vests over a five-year vesting period. Stock-based compensation associated with approximately $9.7 million of restricted stock and LTIP Units granted in January 2004 and approximately $11.2 million of restricted stock and LTIP Units granted in January 2005 will also be incurred ratably as such restricted stock and LTIP Units vest. To the extent we continue to grant restricted stock and LTIP Unit awards, our expense will continue to increase significantly until 2008 even if there are no future increases in the aggregate value of restricted equity granted each year. This is because we expense the value of the restricted stock and LTIP Unit awards ratably over the five-year vesting period and a full run-rate will not be achieved until 2008.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the Total Property Portfolio decreased approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to September 30, 2004. The majority of the decrease is due to the repayment of outstanding mortgage debt in connection with the sales of Riverfront Plaza and 100 East Pratt Street in the second quarter of 2005 which represented a decrease to interest expense of approximately $3.2 million. This decrease was offset by increases to interest expense in connection with the cessation of interest capitalization at Times Square Tower and New Dominion Technology Park, Building Two, which represented an increase of approximately $3.2 million. In connection with the refinance of our debt at 599 Lexington Avenue, we have replaced approximately $225.0 million of fixed rate mortgage indebtedness with a lower variable rate.

At September 30, 2005, our variable rate debt consisted of our construction loans on our Times Square Tower, Capital Gallery Expansion and Cambridge Center Seven construction projects, as well as our borrowings under our Unsecured Line of Credit related to the refinancing of 599 Lexington Avenue in New York. The following summarizes our outstanding debt as of September 30, 2005 compared with September 30, 2004:

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense for the Total Property Portfolio increased approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004. Depreciation and amortization from Properties Placed In-Service increased approximately $1.9 million, Same Property increased approximately $3.4 million. These increases were offset by decreases to Properties Sold of approximately $2.0 million and Properties Repositioned of approximately $2.9 million. In connection with the redevelopment project at Capital Gallery, which is classified as Properties Repositioned, we recognized an

accelerated depreciation charge of approximately $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2004 representing the net book value of the portion of the three-story low-rise portion of the building being redeveloped.

The additions to the Total Property Portfolio through placing properties in-service increased depreciation and amortization expense by approximately $1.9 million, as detailed below:

Capitalized Costs

Costs directly related to the development of rental properties are not included in our operating results. These costs are capitalized and included in real estate assets on our Consolidated Balance SheetSheets and amortized over their useful lives. Capitalized development costs include interest, wages, property taxes, insurance and other project costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized wages for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2006 and 2005 were $1.4 million and September 30, 2004 was $1.5 million.$1.6 million, respectively. These costs are not included in the general and administrative expenses discussed above. Interest capitalized for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2006 and 2005 and 2004 was $1.7 million and $1.8$0.7 million, respectively. These costs are not included in the interest expense referenced above.

Loss from early extinguishment of debt

During the first quarter of 2006, we repaid the construction financing collateralized by our Seven Cambridge Center property totaling approximately $112.5 million using approximately $7.5 million of available cash and $105.0 million drawn under our Unsecured Line of Credit. There was no prepayment penalty associated with the repayment. We recognized a loss from early extinguishment of debt totaling approximately $0.5 million consisting of the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs. In connection with the sale of 280 Park Avenue, we expect to defease the mortgage indebtedness secured by the property and recognize a loss on the extinguishment of debt during the second quarter of 2006.

Income from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

During the first quarter of 2005, we placed in-service 901 New York Avenue, a 539,000 net rentable square foot Class A office property located in Washington, D.C., in which we have a 25% ownership interest. The addition of this property contributedincreased income from joint ventures by approximately $0.5$0.8 million to joint venture income for the three months ended September 30, 2005. AsMarch 31, 2006. This was partially offset by our 265 Franklin Street venture, the occupancy of November 4,which has decreased from 76.1% as of March 31, 2005 this property is 98% leased.

to 72.4% as of March 31, 2006.

Due to our gainscontinuing involvement in the management of the building subsequent to the sale, the master lease agreement and revenue support provisions, this property will not be categorized as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As a result, the gain on sale related to this property will be reflected under the caption “gains on sales of real estate, from discontinued operationsnet of minority interest” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Gains on sales of real estate and other assets, net of minority interest

Gains on sales of real estate for the three months ended September 30, 2004March 31, 2006 primarily relates to a parcel of land at the Prudential Center located in Boston, Massachusetts which had previously been accounted for as a financing transaction. During January 2006, the transaction qualified as a sale for financial reporting purposes.

Minority interest in property partnership

Minority interest in property partnership consists of the outside equity interests in the ventures that own Citigroup Center. This venture is consolidated with our financial results because we exercise control over the entity. Due to the redemption agreement entered into on April 27, 2006 with the minority interest holder at Citigroup Center, minority interest in property partnership will no longer reflect an allocation to the minority interest holder.

Minority interest in Operating Partnership

Minority interest in Operating Partnership increased $9.9decreased $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 compared to September 30, 2004. In connection with the special cash distribution, holders of Series Two Preferred Units will participate on an as-converted basis in connection with their regular February 2006 distribution payment as provided for in the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement. As a result, we accrued approximately $12.1 million related2005 mainly attributed to the special cash distribution payable to holders of the Series Two Preferred Units and have allocated earnings to the Series Two Preferred Units of approximately $12.1 million, which amount has been reflected in minority interest in Operating Partnership for the three months ended September 30, 2005. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in the minority interest in our Operating Partnership’s income allocation related to changes in the partnership’s ownership interests and an underlying change in allocable income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our principal liquidity needs for the next twelve months are to:

 

fund normal recurring expenses;

 

meet debt service requirements including the repayment or refinancing of $160.5$207.2 million of indebtedness that matures withinon or prior to May 1, 2007, $74.5 million of which is due in 2006 and the twelve month period;remainder in the first quarter of 2007;

 

fund capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing costs;

 

fund current development costs not covered under existing construction loans;

 

fund newpotential property acquisitions; and

 

make the minimum distribution required to maintain our REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

We believe that these needs will be satisfied using cash on hand, and cash flows generated by operations and provided by financing activities, as well as cash generated from asset sales. Base rental revenue, recovery income from tenants, other income from operations, available cash balances, draws on our Unsecured Lineunsecured line of Creditcredit and refinancing of maturing indebtedness are our principal sources of capital used to pay operating expenses, debt service, recurring capital expenditures and the minimum distribution required to maintain our REIT qualification. We seek to increase income from our existing properties by maintaining quality standards for our properties that promote high occupancy rates and maximizepermit increases in rental rates while reducing tenant turnover and controlling operating expenses. Our sources of revenue also include third-party fees generated by our office real estate management, leasing, development and construction businesses. Consequently, we believe our revenue, together with proceeds from financing activities, will continue to provide the necessary funds for our short-term liquidity

needs. However, material changes in these factors may adversely affect our net cash flows. Such changes, in turn, wouldcould adversely affect our ability to fund distributions, debt service payments and tenant improvements. In addition, a material adverse change in our cash provided by operations may affect our ability to comply with the financial performance covenants under our unsecured line of credit and unsecured senior notes.

Our principal liquidity needs for periods beyond twelve months are for the costs of developments, possible property acquisitions, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital improvements. We expect to satisfy these needs during the next twelve months and beyond using one or more of the following:

 

construction loans;

 

long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness;

 

income from operations;

income from joint ventures;

 

sales of real estate;

 

issuances of our equity securities and/or additional preferred or common units of partnership interest in Boston Properties Limited Partnership;BPLP; and

 

our unsecured revolving line of credit or other short-term bridge facilities.

We draw on multiple financing sources to fund our long-term capital needs. Our Unsecured Lineunsecured line of Creditcredit is utilized primarily as a bridge facility to fund acquisition opportunities, to refinance outstanding indebtedness and to meet short-term development and working capital needs. We generally fund our development projects with construction loans that may be partially guaranteed by Boston Properties Limited Partnership, our Operating Partnership until project completion or lease-up thresholds are achieved.

Cash Flow Summary

The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below.

Cash and cash equivalents were $450.6$32.2 million and $213.9$209.3 million at September 30,March 31, 2006 and 2005, and September 30, 2004, respectively, representing an increasea decrease of $236.7$177.1 million. The cash flow results above do not reflectdecrease was a result of the payment of approximately $335.8 million related to the $2.50 per share/unit special cash dividend paid to common shareholders and unitholders on October 31, 2005 or the $12.1 million special cash distribution to be paid in February 2006 to holders of our Series Two Preferred Units.

Our principal source of cash flow is related to the operation of our office properties. In addition, we have recycled capital through the sale of some of our properties and raised proceeds from secured and unsecured borrowings. We also issued 5,700,000 shares of our common stock in a public offering in March 2004. The average term of our tenant leases is approximately 7.47.7 years as of September 30, 2005 calculated on a weighted average, based on net rentable square feet with occupancy rates historically in the range of 92% to 98%. Our properties provide a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that provides us with resources to pay operating expenses, debt service and fund quarterly dividend and distribution payment requirements. In addition, over the past year, we have raised capital through the sale of some of our properties and raised proceeds from secured borrowings.

Cash is used in investing activities to fund acquisitions, development and recurring and nonrecurring capital expenditures. We selectively invest in new projects that enable us to take advantage of our development, leasing,

financing and property management skills and invest in existing buildings that meet our investment criteria. Cash provided byused in investing activities for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 consisted of the following:

Cash used in financing activities for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 totaled approximately $281.5$233.0 million. This consisted primarily consisted of the repayment of our Seven Cambridge Center construction loan as well as our 101 Carnegie Center mortgage loan as well as the payments of regular dividends and distributions to our stockholdersshareholders and the unitholders of our Operating Partnership.Partnership, including the payment of approximately $12.1 million in February 2006 to holders of our Series Two Preferred Units representing their participation in the special dividend paid to holders of common stock in October 2005. Future debt payments are discussed below under the heading “Capitalization.“Debt Financing.

Capitalization

At September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, our total consolidated debt was approximately $4.9$4.7 billion. The weighted-average annual interest rate on our consolidated indebtedness was 6.27%6.46% and the weighted-average maturity was approximately 5.24.9 years.

Debt to total market capitalization ratio, defined as total consolidated debt as a percentage of the market value of our outstanding equity securities plus our total consolidated debt, is a measure of leverage commonly used by analysts in the REIT sector. Our total market capitalization was approximately $14.8$17.7 billion at September 30, 2005.March 31, 2006. Total market capitalization was calculated using the September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 closing stock price of $70.90$93.25 per common share and the following: (1) 112,500,887112,813,657 shares of our common stock, (2) 21,413,72421,167,704 outstanding common units of partnership interest in Boston Properties Limited Partnership (excluding common units held by Boston Properties, Inc.), (3) an aggregate of 4,857,395 common units issuable upon conversion of all outstanding preferred units of partnership interest in Boston Properties Limited Partnership, (4) an aggregate of 380,820374,119 common units issuable upon conversion of all outstanding LTIP Units, assuming all conditions have been met for the conversion of the LTIP Units, and (5) our consolidated debt totaling approximately $4.9$4.7 billion. Our total consolidated debt at September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 represented approximately 33.28%26.57% of our total market capitalization. This percentage will fluctuate with changes in the market price of our common stock and does not necessarily reflect our capacity to incur additional debt to finance our activities or our ability to manage our existing debt obligations. However, for a company like ours, whose assets are primarily income-producing real estate, the debt to total market capitalization ratio may provide investors with an alternate indication of leverage, so long as it is evaluated along with other financial ratios and the various components of our outstanding indebtedness.

Unsecured Line of Credit

On May 19, 2005, we modified our $605.0 million Unsecured Line of Credit by extending the maturity date from January 17, 2006 to October 30, 2007, with a provision for a one-year extension at our option, subject to certain conditions, and by reducing the per annum variable interest rate on outstanding balances from Eurodollar plus 0.70% to Eurodollar plus 0.65%. In addition a facility fee equal to 15 basis point per annum is payable in quarterly installments. The interest rate and facility fee are subject to adjustment in the event of a change in Boston Properties Limited Partnership’s senior unsecured debt ratings. The Unsecured Line of Credit contains a competitive bid option that allows banks that are part of the lender consortium to bid to make loan advances to us at a reduced Eurodollar rate. We utilize the Unsecured Line of Credit principally to fund development of properties, land and property acquisitions, to refinance outstanding indebtedness and for working capital purposes. Our Unsecured Line of Credit is a recourse obligation of Boston Properties Limited Partnership.

Our ability to borrow under our Unsecured Line of Credit is subject to our compliance with a number of customary financial and other covenants on an ongoing basis, including:

 

a leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, however for a single period of not more than five consecutive quarters the leverage ratio can exceed 60% (but may not exceed 65%);

 

a secured debt leverage ratio not to exceed 55%;

 

a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.40;

 

an unsecured leverage ratio not to exceed 60%;

 

a minimum net worth requirement;

an unsecured interest coverage ratio of at least 1.75; and

 

restrictions on permitted investments, development, partially owned entities, business outside of commercial real estate and commercial non-office properties

We believe we are in compliance with the financial and other covenants listed above.

At September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, we had letters of credit totaling $9.4$8.5 million outstanding under our Unsecured Line of Credit. On July 19, 2005, we refinanced $225 million of mortgage indebtedness at 599 Lexington Avenue through a secured draw on our Unsecured Line of Credit. As of September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, we had the ability to borrow an additional $370.6$331.5 million under our Unsecured Line of Credit.

State and Local Tax Matters

Because we are organized and qualify as a REIT, we are generally not subject to federal income taxes, but subject to certain state and local taxes. In the normal course of business, certain entities through which we own real estate either have undergone, or are currently undergoing, tax audits or other inquiries. Although we believe that we have substantial arguments in favor of our positions in the ongoing audits, in some instances there is no controlling precedent or interpretive guidance on the specific point at issue. Collectively, tax deficiency notices received to date from the jurisdictions conducting the ongoing audits have not been material. However, there can be no assurance that future audits will not occur with increased frequency or that the ultimate result of such audits will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Insurance

We carry insurance coverage on our properties of types and in amounts and with deductibles that we believe are in line with coverage customarily obtained by owners of similar properties. In response to the uncertainty in the insurance market following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the Federal Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, or TRIA, was enacted in November 2002 to require regulated insurers to make available coverage for certified acts of terrorism (as defined by the statute) through December 31, 2004, which date was extended to December 31, 2005 by the United States Department of Treasury on June 18, 2004.2004 and which date was further extended to December 31, 2007 by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005 (the “TRIA Extension Act”). TRIA expires on December 31, 2005,2007, and we cannot currently anticipate whether it will be extended. Effective as of April 15, 2005,March 1, 2006, our property insurance program per occurrence limits were increaseddecreased from $890 million to $1 billion to $800 million, including coverage for both “certified” and “non-certified” acts of terrorism as defined by TRIA. The amount of such insurance available in the market has decreased because of the natural disasters which occurred during 2005. We also carry nuclear, biological, chemical and chemicalradiological terrorism insurance coverage (“NBCNBCR Coverage”) for “certified” acts of terrorism as defined by TRIA, which is provided by IXP, Inc. as a direct insurer. Effective as of AprilMarch 1, 2005,2006, we extended the NBCNBCR Coverage to March 1, 2007, excluding our Value-Added Fund properties. Effective as of March 1, 2006, and the per occurrence limit for the NBCNBCR Coverage was increaseddecreased from $640 million$1 billion to $890$800 million. Effective as of May 2, 2005, this limit for NBC Coverage was increased to $1 billion. Under TRIA, the NBC Coverage is backstopped by the Federal Government after the payment of the required deductible and 10% coinsurance. Incoinsurance the eventNBCR Coverage is backstopped by the Federal Government if the aggregate industry insured losses resulting from a certified act of terrorism exceed a “program trigger.” Under the TRIA Extension Act (a) the program trigger is not extended beyond $5 million through March 31, 2006, $50 million from April 1, 2006 through

December 31, 2005, (1)2006 and $100 million from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007 and (b) the NBC Coverage provided by IXP will terminate,coinsurance is 10% through December 31, 2006 and (2) a portion of our coverage for what would have constituted “certified” and “non-certified” acts of terrorism (other than NBC Coverage) had TRIA not expired will terminate and we will have the right to replace a portion of such terminated coverage. In the event TRIA is extended on terms which could expose IXP to a material increase in risk, we15% through December 31, 2007. We may elect to terminate the NBC coverage provided by IXP.NBCR Coverage when the program trigger increases on January 1, 2007, if there is a change in our portfolio or for any other reason. We intend to continue to monitor the scope, nature and cost of available terrorism insurance and maintain insurance in amounts and on terms that are commercially reasonable.

We also currently carry earthquake insurance on our properties located in areas known to be subject to earthquakes in an amount and subject to deductibles and self-insurance that we believe are commercially reasonable. In addition, this insurance is subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property. Specifically, we currently carry earthquake insurance which covers our San Francisco portfolio with a $120 million per occurrence limit and a $120 million aggregate limit, $20 million of which is provided by IXP, Inc., as a direct insurer. The amount of our earthquake insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover losses from earthquakes. As a result of increased costs of coverage and limited availability, the amount of third-party earthquake insurance that we may be able to purchase on commercially reasonable terms may be reduced. In addition, we may discontinue earthquake insurance on some or all of our properties in the future if the premiums exceed our estimation of the value of the coverage.

In January 2002, we formed a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, IXP, Inc., or IXP, to act as a captive insurance company and be one of the elements of our overall insurance program. IXP acts as a direct insurer with respect to a portion of our earthquake insurance coverage for ourthe Greater San Francisco properties and our NBCNBCR Coverage for “certified acts of terrorism” under TRIA. Insofar as we own IXP, we are responsible for ourits liquidity and capital resources, and the accounts of IXP are part of our consolidated financial statements. In particular, if a loss occurs which is covered by our NBCR Coverage but is less than the applicable program trigger under TRIA, IXP would be responsible for the full amount of the loss without any backstop by the Federal Government. If we experience a loss and IXP is required to pay under ourits insurance policy, we would ultimately record the loss to the extent of IXP’s required payment. Therefore, insurance coverage provided by IXP should not be considered as the equivalent of third-party insurance, but rather as a modified form of self-insurance.

We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market in general, and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism in particular, but we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in future policy years. There are other types of losses, such as from wars or the presence of mold at our properties, for which we cannot obtain insurance at all or at a reasonable cost. With respect to such losses and losses from acts of terrorism, earthquakes or other catastrophic events, if we experience a loss that is uninsured or that exceeds policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties, as well as the anticipated future revenues from those properties. Depending on the specific circumstances of each affected property, it is possible that we could be liable for mortgage indebtedness or other obligations related to the property. Any such loss could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition and results of operations.

Funds from Operations

Pursuant to the revised definition of Funds from Operations adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), we calculate Funds from Operations, or “FFO,” by adjusting net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP, including non-recurring items) for gains (or losses) from sales of properties, real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. The use of FFO, combined with the required primary GAAP presentations, has been fundamentally beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management generally considers FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing our comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and

useful life estimates), FFO can help one compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently.

FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and is not a measure of liquidity or an indicator of our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO should be compared with our reported net income and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders to FFO for the three months ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 and 2004:2005:

Contractual Obligations

We have various standing or renewable service contracts with vendors related to our property management. In addition, we have certain other utility contracts we enter into in the ordinary course of business which may extend beyond one year, which vary based on usage. These contracts include terms that provide for cancellation with insignificant or no cancellation penalties. Contract terms are generally one year or less.

Newly Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2004,February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS No. 123R”155”). SFAS No. 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No. 123R requires the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements and be measured based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued. SFAS No. 123R is effective as of the first annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. We adopted the fair value recognition provisionsThe purpose of SFAS No. 123R prospectively155 is to simplify the accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments by permitting fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all employee awards granted, modified,financial instruments acquired or settled on orissued after January 1, 2005, and applied the modified prospective application transition provisions, upon adoption. Allbeginning of our remaining unvested stock options vested on January 17, 2005. As a result, ouran entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 123R did not155 to have a material impact on our cash flows, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.

In May 2005,March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,156, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – A Replacementfor Servicing of APB Opinion No. 20 and SFASFinancial Assets—an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 3”140” (“SFAS No. 154”156”). SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting156 requires recognition of a change in accounting principleservicing asset or a servicing liability each time an entity undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by requiring retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of the change in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so.entering into a servicing contract. SFAS No. 154156 also requires that a change in depreciation or amortization for long-lived, non-financialall separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle.initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. SFAS No. 154156 is effective for accounting changes and correctionsas of errors made inthe beginning of an entity’s first fiscal years beginningyear that begins after DecemberSeptember 15, 2005.2006. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154156 to have a material impact on our cash flows, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.

In June 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) regarding EITF 04-5, “Investor’s Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership When the Investor is the Sole General Partner and the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights” (“EITF 04-5”). The conclusion provides a framework for addressing the question of when a sole general partner, as defined in EITF 04-5, should consolidate a limited partnership. Pursuant to EITF 04-5, the general partner of a limited partnership should consolidate a limited partnership unless the limited partners have either (a) the substantive ability to dissolve the limited partnership or otherwise remove the general partners without cause, or (b) substantive participating rights. In addition, EITF 04-5 concluded that the guidance should be expanded to include all limited partnerships, including those with multiple general partners. EITF 04-5 is effective for reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We are currently evaluating and assessing the impact of this pronouncement.

ITEM 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Approximately $4.1$3.9 billion of our borrowings bear interest at fixed rates, and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in the market interest rates. The following table presents our aggregate fixed rate debt obligations with corresponding weighted-average interest rates sorted by maturity date and our aggregate variable rate debt obligations sorted by maturity date. As of September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, the weighted average interest rate on our variable rate debt was LIBOR/Eurodollar plus 0.60%0.43% per annum.

During the third quarter of 2005 we entered into ninetwelve forward-starting interest rate swap contracts which fix the 10-year treasury rate for a financing in February 2007 at a weighted average rate of 4.32%4.34% per annum on notional amounts aggregating $425.0$500.0 million. The swaps go into effect in February 2007 and expire in February 2017. We obtained the swaps to lock in the 10-year treasury rate and 10-year swap spread in contemplation of obtaining long-term fixed ratefixed-rate financing in late 2006 or early 2007 to refinance existing debt that is expiring or freely prepayable prior to February 2007. We expect to settle the interest rate swaps in cash at the time we close on the long-term fixed-rate financing. Each swap contract provides for a fixed 10-year LIBOR swap rate (the fixed strike rate) ranging from 4.562% per annum to 4.889%5.016% per annum. If the 10-year LIBOR swap rate is below the fixed strike rate at the time we settle each swap, we would be required to make a payment to the swap counter-parties; if the 10-year LIBOR swap rate is above the fixed strike rate at the time we cash settle each swap, we would receive a payment from the swap counter-parties. The amount that we either pay or receive will equal the present value of the basis point differential between the applicable fixed strike rate and the 10-year swap rate at the time we settle each swap. We believe that these swaps arequalify as highly-effective cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended. The fair value of the nine swaps at September 30, 2005 was $3.1 million. This amount has been included in Other Comprehensive Income in the Consolidated Financial Statements. We intend to consider entering into additional hedging arrangements to minimize our interest rate risk.

At September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, our outstanding variable rate debt outstanding wasbased off LIBOR totaled approximately $782$763.9 million. At September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, the average interest rate on variable rate debt was approximately 4.34%5.23%. If market interest rates on our variable rate debt had been 100 basis points greater, total interest expense would have increased approximately $2.0$1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005.March 31, 2006.

At September 30, 2004,March 31, 2005, our outstanding variable rate debt outstanding wasbased off LIBOR totaled approximately $416$435 million. At September 30, 2004March 31, 2005, the average interest rate on variable rate debt was approximately 2.78%3.59%. If market interest rates on our variable rate debt had been 100 basis points greater, total interest expense would have increased approximately $1.0$1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004.March 31, 2005.

These amounts were determined solely by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. Due to the uncertainty of specific actions we may undertake to minimize possible effects of market interest rate increases, this analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure.
