1. Background and Basis of Presentation
Background
As used in this Form 10-Q, references to the "Company," "we", "our" and "us" refer to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") formed in 1994. We are engaged principally on the ownership, operation, management, acquisition and selective redevelopment and development of properties containing office/laboratory space. We refer to these properties as "life science properties". Our life science properties are designed and improved for lease primarily to institutional, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, life science product, service, biodefense, and translational research entities, as well as related government agencies. As of June 30, 2005, our portfolio consisted of 125 properties (124 located in nine states and one property located in Canada) with approximately 8.1 million rentable square feet of office/laboratory space.
As of June 30, 2005, approximately 84% of our leases (on a square footage basis) were triple net leases, requiring tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes and insurance, common area and other operating expenses, including increases thereto. In addition, as of June 30, 2005, approximately 6% of our leases (on a square footage basis) required the tenants to pay a majority of operating expenses. Additionally, as of June 30, 2005, approximately 89% of our leases (on a square footage basis) provided for the recapture of certain capital expenditures and approximately 89% of our leases (on a square footage basis) contained effective annual rent escalations that are either fixed or indexed based on the consumer price index or another index.
We have prepared the accompanying interim financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In our opinion, the interim financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal and recurring adjustments, which are necessary to fairly present the interim financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
International Operations
The functional currency for our subsidiaries operating in the United States is the U.S. dollar. During the first quarter of 2005, we completed our first international acquisition of one operating property through a wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary. The functional currency for our foreign subsidiary operating in Canada is the local currency, the Canadian dollar. The assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. Income statement accounts of our foreign subsidiary are translated using the average exchange rate for the period presented. Gains resulting from the translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Gains or losses are recognized in the income statement when a transaction with a third party, denominated in a currency other than the entity's functional currency, is settled and the functional currency cash flows realized are more or less than the exchange rate in effect when the transaction was initiated.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Accumulated other comprehensive income consists of the following (in thousands):

Stock-Based Compensation Expense
For 2002 and all prior years, we have elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and related Interpretations in accounting for our employee and non-employee director stock options, stock grants and stock appreciation rights. Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), prospectively to all employee awards granted, modified or settled after January 1, 2003. We have not granted any stock options since 2002. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the options we granted equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense had been recognized. Although we have elected to follow APB 25 for previously granted options, pro forma information regarding net income and net income per share is required by SFAS 123. This information has been determined as if we had accounted for stock options under the fair value method under SFAS 123.
For purposes of the following pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting periods (in thousands, except per share information):

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share- Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R") requires measurement of all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and the recording of such expense in the financial statements. SFAS 123R eliminates the accounting for such awards using the intrinsic method pursuant to APB 25. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission amended the compliance date for SFAS 123R to no later than the beginning of the registrant's first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, we plan to adopt SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006. We intend to use the modified-prospective transition method whereby compensation expense will be recognized relating to the remaining unvested portion of outstanding stock options at the time of adoption, and the expense will be recognized over the remaining service period. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 123R to have a material impact on our financial statements since all awards accounted for pursuant to APB 25 will be fully vested by December 31, 2005.

3. Investments
We hold equity investments in certain publicly-traded companies and privately held entities primarily involved in the life science industry. All of our investments in publicly-traded companies are considered "available for sale" in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115") and are recorded at fair value. Investments in privately held entities are generally accounted for under the cost method because we do not influence any operating and financial policies of the entities in which we invest. Certain investments are accounted for under the equity method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, "The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock" ("APB 18") and Emerging Issues Task Force Topic D-46, "Accounting for Limited Partnerships" ("EITF Topic D-46"). For all our investments, if a decline in the fair value of an investment below its carrying value is determined to be other than temporary, such investment is written down to its estimated fair value with a non-cash charge to current earnings. The factors that we consider in making these assessments include, but are not limited to, market prices, market conditions, prospects for favorable or unfavorable clinical trial results, new product initiatives and new collaborative agreements.
The following table summarizes our available-for-sale securities (in thousands):
June 30, December 31,
2005 2004
------------ ------------
Adjusted cost of available-for-sale securities $ 4,083 $ 3,190
Gross unrealized gains 22,416 16,110
Gross unrealized losses (906) (176)
------------ ------------
Fair value of available-for-sale securities $ 25,593 $ 19,124
============ ============
We believe that the gross unrealized losses shown above are temporary and accordingly we have not recognized an other-than-temporary impairment related to available-for-sale securities as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.
Our investments in privately held entities as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 totaled $47,803,000 and $48,295,000, respectively. Of these totals, $46,723,000 and $47,433,000 are accounted for under the cost method. The remainder ($1,080,000 and $862,000 as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively) are accounted for under the equity method in accordance with APB 18 and EITF Topic D-46. As of June 30, 2005, there were no unrealized losses in our investments in privately held entities.
4. Unsecured Line of Credit and Unsecured Term Loan
We have an unsecured line of credit that provides for borrowings of up to $500 million. The unsecured line of credit expires December 2007 and may be extended at our sole option for an additional one-year period. As of June 30, 2005, we had borrowings of $389 million outstanding on the unsecured line of credit with a weighted average interest rate of 4.60%. As of June 30, 2005, we have an unsecured term loan with outstanding borrowings of $250 million with a weighted average interest rate of 4.58%. The unsecured term loan expires in December 2009.
Borrowings under our unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan bear interest at a London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")-based rate. For each LIBOR-based advance, we must elect a LIBOR period of one, two, three or six months.
Our unsecured line of credit and our unsecured term loan contain financial covenants. In addition, the terms of the unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan restrict, among other things, certain investments, indebtedness, distributions and mergers.
Aggregate borrowings under the unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan may be limited to an amount based on the net operating income derived from a pool of unencumbered properties. Under the unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan, we have an option to increase our maximum available commitment by an additional $100 million.
We utilize interest rate swap agreements to hedge a portion of our exposure to variable interest rates associated with our unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan. These agreements involve an exchange of fixed and floating interest payments without the exchange of the underlying principal amount (the "notional amount"). Interest received under all of our swap agreements is based on the one-month LIBOR rate. The net difference between the interest paid and the interest received is reflected as an adjustment to interest expense.
The following table summarizes our interest rate swap agreements as of June 30, 2005 (dollars in thousands):

5. Stockholders' Equity
In March 2005, we sold 1,437,500 shares of our common stock in an underwritten offering (including the shares issued upon exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option). The shares were issued at a price of $62.51 per share, resulting in aggregate proceeds of approximately $89.1 million (after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering costs).
In June 2005, we declared a cash dividend on our common stock aggregating $14,419,000 ($0.68 per share) for the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2005.

8. Discontinued Operations
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), we classify a property as "held for sale" when all of the following criteria for a plan of sale have been met: (1) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the property; (2) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to the terms that are usual and customary; (3) an active program to locate a buyer, and other actions required to complete the plan to sell, have been initiated; (4) the sale of the property is probable and is expected to be completed within one year; (5) the property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (6) actions necessary to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. When the property is classified as "held for sale", its operations are classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of income. When a property is designated as "held for sale", amounts for all prior periods presented are reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations. A loss is recognized for any initial adjustment of the asset's carrying amount to fair value less costs to sell in the period the asset qualifies as "held for sale". Depreciation of assets is discontinued commencing on the date they are designated as "held for sale".

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this report.
Overview
Since our formation in October 1994, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the ownership, operation, management, acquisition and selective redevelopment and development of high quality, strategically located properties containing office/laboratory space leased principally to tenants in the life science industry. We refer to these properties as "life science properties".
As of June 30, 2005, our portfolio consisted of 125 properties containing approximately 8.1 million rentable square feet of office/laboratory space. As of that date, our properties were approximately 95% leased, excluding those properties in our redevelopment program. Our primary sources of revenue are rental income and tenant recoveries from leases at the properties we own. The comparability of financial data from period to period is affected by the timing of our property acquisition, development and redevelopment activities.
As of June 30, 2005, approximately 84% of our leases (on a square footage basis) were triple net leases, requiring tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes and insurance, common area and other operating expenses, including increases thereto. In addition, as of June 30, 2005, approximately 6% of our leases (on a square footage basis) required the tenants to pay a majority of operating expenses. Additionally, as of June 30, 2005, approximately 89% of our leases (on a square footage basis) provided for the recapture of certain capital expenditures and approximately 89% of our leases (on a square footage basis) contained effective annual rent escalations that are either fixed or indexed based on the consumer price index or another index.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 ("Second Quarter 2005") to Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 ("Second Quarter 2004")
Rental revenues increased by $11.3 million, or 33%, to $45.7 million for Second Quarter 2005 compared to $34.4 million for Second Quarter 2004. The increase resulted primarily from rental revenues from properties acquired, placed in service or redeveloped after April 1, 2004.
Tenant recoveries increased by $3.0 million, or 36%, to $11.4 million for Second Quarter 2005 compared to $8.4 million for Second Quarter 2004. The increase resulted primarily from tenant recoveries from properties acquired, placed in service or redeveloped after April 1, 2004.
Other income increased by $461,000, or 76%, to $1.1 million for Second Quarter 2005 compared to $608,000 for Second Quarter 2004.
Rental operating expenses increased by $3.9 million, or 45%, to $12.7 million for Second Quarter 2005 compared to $8.8 million for Second Quarter 2004. The increase resulted primarily from increases in rental operating expenses (primarily property taxes and utilities) from properties acquired, placed in service or redeveloped after April 1, 2004. The majority of the increase in rental operating expenses is recoverable from our tenants through tenant recoveries.
General and administrative expenses increased by $1.0 million, or 25%, to $4.8 million for Second Quarter 2005 compared to $3.8 million for Second Quarter 2004 primarily due to costs associated with the growth in both the depth and breadth of our operations in multiple markets from 96 properties with approximately 6.0 million rentable square feet at June 30, 2004 to 125 properties with approximately 8.1 million rentable square feet at June 30, 2005.
Interest expense increased by $4.3 million, or 62%, to $11.2 million for Second Quarter 2005 compared to $6.9 million for Second Quarter 2004. The increase resulted from increases in indebtedness on our unsecured line of credit, unsecured term loan and secured notes payable, and increases in the floating interest rates on our unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan. These borrowings were utilized to finance the acquisition of properties in 2004 and 2005, and the development and redevelopment of properties. The weighted average effective interest rate on our unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan (not including the effect of interest rate swap agreements) increased from 2.75% as of June 30, 2004 to 4.60% as of June 30, 2005. We have entered into certain swap agreements to hedge a portion of our exposure to variable interest rates with our unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan").
Depreciation and amortization increased by $3.2 million, or 31%, to $13.2 million for Second Quarter 2005 compared to $10.1 million for Second Quarter 2004. The increase resulted primarily from depreciation associated with the properties acquired, placed in service or redeveloped after April 1, 2004.
Income from discontinued operations, net was $37,000 and $34,000 for Second Quarter 2005 and Second Quarter 2004, respectively. It reflects the results of operations of one property in the Southeast market that had been designated as "held for sale" during Second Quarter 2005.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 ("Six Months 2005") to Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 ("Six Months 2004")
Rental revenues increased by $21.3 million, or 31%, to $89.4 million for Six Months 2005 compared to $68.2 million for Six Months 2004. The increase resulted primarily from rental revenue from properties acquired, placed in service or redeveloped after January 1, 2004.
Tenant recoveries increased by $6.3 million, or 38%, to $23.0 million for Six Months 2005 compared to $16.7 million for Six Months 2004. The increase resulted primarily from properties acquired, placed in service or redeveloped after January 1, 2004.
Other income increased by $495,000, or 38%, to $1.8 million for Six Months 2005 compared to $1.3 million for Six Months 2004.
Rental operating expenses increased by $7.9 million, or 45%, to $25.4 million for Six Months 2005 compared to $17.5 million for Six Months 2004. The increase resulted primarily from increases in rental operating expenses (primarily property taxes and utilities) from properties acquired, placed in service or redeveloped after January 1, 2004. The majority of the increase in rental operating expenses is recoverable from our tenants through tenant recoveries.
General and administrative expenses increased by $1.8 million, or 24%, to $9.2 million for Six Months 2005 compared to $7.5 million for Six Months 2004 primarily due to costs associated with the growth in both the depth and breadth of our operations in multiple markets from 96 properties with approximately 6.0 million rentable square feet at June 30, 2004 to 125 properties with approximately 8.1 million rentable square feet at June 30, 2005.
Interest expense increased by $8.9 million, or 66%, to $22.6 million for Six Months 2005 compared to $13.6 million for Six Months 2004. The increase resulted from increases in indebtedness on our unsecured line of credit, unsecured term loan and secured notes payable, and increases in the floating interest rates on our unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan. These borrowings were utilized to finance the acquisition of properties in 2004 and 2005, and the development and redevelopment of properties. The weighted average effective interest rate on our unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan (not including the effect of interest rate swap agreements) increased from 2.75% as of June 30, 2004 to 4.60% as of June 30, 2005. We have entered into certain swap agreements to hedge a portion of our exposure to variable interest rates with our unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan").
Depreciation and amortization increased by $5.8 million, or 29%, to $25.9 million for Six Months 2005 compared to $20.1 million for Six Months 2004. The increase resulted primarily from depreciation associated with the properties acquired, placed in service or redeveloped after January 1, 2004.
Income from discontinued operations, net was $73,000 and $1.7 million for Six Months 2005 and Six Months 2004, respectively. This reflects the results of operations of one property in the Southeast market that had been designated as "held for sale" as of June 30, 2005, and one property in the Suburban Washington D.C. market that was sold in the first quarter of 2004. In connection with the sale of this property, we recorded a gain of approximately $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flows
Net cash provided by operating activities for Six Months 2005 increased by $14.2 million to $49.2 million compared to $34.9 million for Six Months 2004. The increase resulted primarily from increases in cash flows from our portfolio of operating properties.
Net cash used in investing activities for Six Months 2005 increased by $102.2 million to $206.1 million compared to $103.9 million for Six Months 2004. This increase was primarily due to the purchase of rental properties and additions to properties under development for Six Months 2005.
Net cash provided by financing activities for Six Months 2005 increased by $89.2 million to $156.2 million compared to $67.0 million for Six Months 2004. This increase was primarily due to a net increase in principal borrowings from our unsecured line of credit.

(1) The weighted average interest rate is calculated based on the outstanding debt as of July 1st 2005, and as of January 1st for each year thereafter.
Unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan
We have an unsecured line of credit that provides for borrowings of up to $500 million. The unsecured line of credit expires December 2007 and may be extended at our sole option for an additional one-year period. As of June 30, 2005, we had borrowings of $389 million outstanding on the unsecured line of credit with a weighted average interest rate of 4.60%. As of June 30, 2005, we have an unsecured term loan with outstanding borrowings of $250 million with a weighted average interest rate of 4.58%. The unsecured term loan expires December 2009.
Borrowings under our unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan bear interest at a LIBOR-based rate. For each LIBOR-based advance, we must elect a LIBOR period of one, two, three or six months.
Our unsecured line of credit and our unsecured term loan contain financial covenants. In addition, the terms of the unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan restrict, among other things, certain investments, indebtedness, distributions and mergers.
Aggregate borrowings under the unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan may be limited to an amount based on the net operating income derived from a pool of unencumbered properties. Under the unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan, we have an option to increase our maximum available commitment by an additional $100 million.
We utilize interest rate swap agreements to hedge a portion of our exposure to variable interest rates associated with our unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan. These agreements involve an exchange of fixed and floating interest payments without the exchange of the underlying principal amount (the "notional amount"). Interest received under all of our swap agreements is based on the one-month LIBOR rate. The net difference between the interest paid and the interest received is reflected as an adjustment to interest expense.
The following table summarizes our interest rate swap agreements as of June 30, 2005 (dollars in thousands):

Total Interest Rate Swap Agreements in Effect ------------- --------
at June 30, 2005 $ 350,000 $ (998)
============= ========
We do not believe we are exposed to more than a nominal amount of credit risk in our interest rate swap agreements as the counterparties are established, well-capitalized financial institutions. In addition, we have entered into master derivative agreements with each counterparty. These master derivative agreements (all of which are on the standard International Swaps & Derivatives Association, Inc. form) define certain terms between us and each counterparty to address and minimize certain risks associated with our swap agreements, including a default by a counterparty.
As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, our interest rate swap agreements have been classified at their fair values in our consolidated balance sheets. The offsetting adjustments were reflected as deferred gains in accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders' equity section of our consolidated balance sheets. Balances in accumulated other comprehensive income are recognized in earnings as swap payments are made.
Other resources and liquidity requirements
In March 2005, we sold 1,437,500 shares of our common stock in an underwritten offering (including the shares issued upon exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option). The shares were issued at a price of $62.51 per share, resulting in aggregate proceeds of approximately $89.1 million (after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering costs).
We expect to continue meeting our short-term liquidity and capital requirements generally through our working capital and net cash provided by operating activities. We believe that the net cash provided by operating activities will continue to be sufficient to enable us to make distributions necessary to continue qualifying as a REIT. We also believe that net cash provided by operating activities will be sufficient to fund recurring non- revenue enhancing capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
We expect to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements, such as for property acquisitions, property development and redevelopment activities, scheduled debt maturities, expansions and other non- recurring capital improvements, through net cash provided by operating activities, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, including borrowings under our unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan, and the issuance of additional debt and/or equity securities.

- Property-related capital expenditures include all capital expenditures except capital expenditures that are recoverable from tenants, revenue-enhancing capital expenditures and costs related to the redevelopment of a property. Capital expenditures fluctuate in any given period due to the nature, extent or timing of improvements required and the extent to which they are recoverable from tenants. Approximately 89% of our leases (based on rentable square feet) provide for the recapture of certain capital expenditures (such as HVAC systems maintenance and/or replacement, roof replacement and parking lot resurfacing). In addition, we implement an active preventative maintenance program at each of our properties to minimize capital expenditures.
- Leasing costs consist of tenant improvements and leasing commissions related to leasing of acquired vacant space and second generation space.
Inflation
As of June 30, 2005, approximately 84% of our leases (on a square footage basis) were triple net leases, requiring tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes and insurance, common area and other operating expenses, including increases thereto. In addition, as of June 30, 2005, approximately 6% of our leases (on a square footage basis) required the tenants to pay a majority of operating expenses. Approximately 89% of our leases (on a square footage basis) contained effective annual rent escalations that are either fixed (generally ranging from 3% to 3.5%) or indexed based on the consumer price index or another index. Accordingly, we do not believe that our earnings or cash flow from real estate operations are subject to any significant risk from inflation. An increase in inflation, however, could result in an increase in the cost of our variable rate borrowings, including our unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan.
Funds from Operations
Generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") basis accounting for real estate assets utilizes historical cost accounting and assumes real estate values diminish over time. In an effort to overcome the miscorrelation between real estate values and historical cost accounting for real estate assets, the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") established the measurement tool of Funds From Operations ("FFO"). Since its introduction, FFO has become a widely used non-GAAP financial measure by REITs. We believe that FFO is helpful to investors as an additional measure of the performance of an equity REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its April 2002 White Paper (the "White Paper") and related implementation guidance, which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. The White Paper defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance for REITs, it should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of financial performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. (See "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Cash flows" above for information regarding these measures of cash flow.)
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to FFO, to funds from operations available to common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The primary market risk to which we believe we are exposed is interest rate risk, which may result from many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control.
In order to modify and manage the interest rate characteristics of our outstanding debt and to limit the effects of interest rate risks on our operations, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, floors and other interest rate exchange contracts. The use of these types of instruments to hedge a portion of our exposure to changes in interest rates carries additional risks, such as counter-party credit risk and the legal enforceability of hedging contracts.
Our future earnings, cash flows and fair values relating to financial instruments are primarily dependent upon prevalent market rates of interest, such as LIBOR. However, our interest rate swap agreements are intended to reduce the effects of interest rate changes. Based on interest rates at, and our swap agreements in effect on June 30, 2005, we estimate that a 1% increase in interest rates on our variable rate debt, including our unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan, after considering the effect of our interest rate swap agreements, would decrease annual future earnings and cash flows by approximately $4.7 million. We further estimate that a 1% decrease in interest rates on our variable rate debt, including our unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan, after considering the effect of our interest rate swap agreements in effect on June 30, 2005, would increase annual future earnings and cash flows by approximately $4.7 million. A 1% increase in interest rates on our secured debt and interest rate swap agreements would decrease their aggregate fair value by approximately $29.1 million at June 30, 2005. A 1% decrease in interest rates on our secured debt and interest rate swap agreements would increase their aggregate fair value by approximately $30.3 million at June 30, 2005.
These amounts are determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost and our interest rate swap agreements in effect on June 30, 2005. These analyses do not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Further, in the event of a change of such magnitude, we would consider taking actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in our capital structure.
We have exposure to equity price market risk because of our equity investments in certain publicly-traded companies and privately held entities. We classify investments in publicly-traded companies as available-for-sale and, consequently, record them on our balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a component of comprehensive income or loss. Investments in privately held entities are generally accounted for under the cost method because we do not influence any of the operating or financial policies of the entities in which we invest. For all investments, we recognize other than temporary declines in value against earnings in the same period the decline in value was deemed to have occurred. There is no assurance that future declines in values will not have a material adverse impact on our future results of operations. By way of example, a 10% decrease in the fair value of our equity investments as of June 30, 2005 would decrease their fair value by approximately $7.3 million.
We have exposure to foreign currency exchange rate market risk related to our wholly-owned subsidiary operating in Canada. The functional currency of our foreign subsidiary operating in Canada is the local currency, the Canadian dollar. Gains or losses resulting from the translation of our foreign subsidiary's balance sheet and income statement are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Gains or losses will be reflected in our income statement when a transaction with a third party, denominated in a currency other than the entity's functional currency, is settled and the functional currency cash flows realized are more or less than the exchange rate in effect when the transaction was initiated.
There have been no material changes in our reported market risks since January 1, 2005. See further discussion of these risks in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
