Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
During the period from August 10, 2004 to October 22, 2004, First Potomac Realty Trust (“the Company”) purchased three real estate properties which it previously disclosed in press releases as exhibits to Current Reports on Form 8-K dated as of August 18, 2004 and October 28, 2004. These properties are individually insignificant, but in the aggregate, constitute a “significant amount of assets” as defined in Regulation S-X. Regulation S-X requires the presentation of audited financial statements for assets comprising a substantial majority of the individually insignificant properties when acquisitions are individually insignificant, but significant in the aggregate. These individually insignificant assets exceeded the minimum level of significance on October 22, 2004 upon the acquisition of Norfolk Commerce Park II and Crossways II properties for an aggregate of approximately $18.5 million.
Pursuant to Item 9.01(a)(3) and the requirements of Regulation S-X, the Company intends to file financial statements and pro forma financial information for its acquisition of Norfolk Commerce Park II and Crossways II on October 22, 2004. Both properties are located in the Norfolk, Virginia market. A copy of the release announcing this acquisition was furnished as Exhibit 99.1 on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated as of October 28, 2004.
