NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Business

Cogdell Spencer Inc., incorporated in Maryland in 2005, together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a fully-integrated, self-administered, and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests in specialty office buildings for the medical profession, including medical offices and ambulatory surgery and diagnostic centers. The Company focuses on the ownership, delivery, acquisition, and management of strategically located medical office buildings and other healthcare related facilities in the United States of America. The Company has been built around understanding and addressing the full range of specialized real estate needs of the healthcare industry. The Company operates its business through Cogdell Spencer LP, its operating partnership subsidiary (the “Operating Partnership”), and its subsidiaries. The Company has two segments: (1) Property Operations and (2) Design-Build and Development. Property Operations owns and manages properties and manages properties for third parties. Design-Build and Development provides strategic planning, design, construction, development, and project management services for properties owned by the Company and for third parties.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and represent the assets and liabilities and operating results of the Company. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements also include any partnerships for which the Company or its subsidiaries is the general partner or the managing member and the rights of the limited partners do not overcome the presumption of control by the general partner or managing member. The Company reviews its interests in entities to determine if the entity’s assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests and results of activities should be included in the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the GAAP. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Interim Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal years of 2010 or 2009 or any other future period. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. The Company’s audited consolidated financial statements are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and should be read in conjunction with these interim financial statements.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions are used by management in determining the percentage of completion revenue, construction contingency and loss provisions, useful lives of real estate properties and improvements, the initial valuations and underlying allocations of purchase price in connection with business and real estate property acquisitions, and projected cash flow and fair value estimates used for impairment testing. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Concentrations and Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash in commercial banks. Balances on deposit are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to specific limits. Balances on deposit in excess of FDIC limits are uninsured. At March 31, 2010, the Company had bank cash balances of $19.0 million in excess of FDIC insured limits.

Two customers accounted for more than 10% of tenant and accounts receivable at March 31, 2010 and one customer accounted for more than 10% of tenant and accounts receivable at March 31, 2009.

Two customers accounted for more than 10% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010, and one customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Fair Value

The Company defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

The Company utilizes the GAAP fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety has been determined is based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

To obtain fair values, observable market prices are used if available. In some instances, observable market prices are not readily available for certain financial instruments and fair value is determined using present value or other techniques appropriate for a particular financial instrument. These techniques involve some degree of judgment and as a result are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange. The use of different assumptions or estimation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company considers the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant and accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other liabilities to approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

The Company has estimated the fair value of debt utilizing present value techniques taking into consideration current market conditions. At March 31, 2010, the carrying amount and estimated fair value of debt was $416.2 million and $407.9 million, respectively. The Harbison Medical Office Building mortgage included in Other liabilities – held for sale in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q has a $2.1 million carrying value and $2.2 million estimated fair value as of March 31, 2010.

See Note 9 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q regarding the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements.

Reclassification

During 2009, the Company reclassified the Harbison Medical Office Building, a wholly-owned real estate property, as discontinued operations and is currently actively marketing the property for sale. The Company expects to sell this property in 2010. Accordingly, the Company has reclassified the assets and liabilities related to this discontinued operations real estate property to Other assets – held for sale and Other liabilities – held for sale, respectively, as well as the results of operations to Loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. The asset is part of the Property Operations segment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard, codified in ASC 810, Consolidation, which revises the consolidation guidance for variable-interest entities (“VIE”). The revisions include (1) no longer exempting qualifying special-purpose entities from the scope of the guidance, (2) requiring the continuous reconsideration for determining whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of another entity, (3) ignoring kick-out rights unless the rights are held by a single enterprise and (4) requiring consolidation if an entity has power and receives benefits or absorbs losses that are potentially significant to the VIE and not requiring consolidation if power is shared amongst unrelated parties. The revisions also include the enhancement of disclosure requirements. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s balance sheet, statement of operations, or changes in equity on March 31, 2010.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard, codified in ASC 810, Consolidation, which provides additional clarification regarding noncontrolling interest decrease-in-ownership provisions and expands the disclosures required upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s balance sheet, statement of operations, or changes in equity on March 31, 2010.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard, codified in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which adds new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. The standard, with the exception of the additional Level 3 disclosures, is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s balance sheet, statement of operations, or changes in equity on March 31, 2010. Requirements related to additional Level 3 disclosures will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company is still evaluating the effect of this standard on the Company’s balance sheet, statement of operations, or changes in equity.

In February 2010, the FASB issued additional guidance, codified in ASC 855, Subsequent Events, which includes, among other things, an exemption for SEC filers from the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The disclosure has been removed from Note 2.

3.	Investments in Real Estate Partnerships

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had an ownership interest in eight limited liability companies or limited partnerships.

The following is a description of the unconsolidated entities:

·	Cogdell Spencer Medical Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, founded in 2008, has no assets or liabilities, and is 20.0% owned by the Company;

·	BSB Health/MOB Limited Partnership No. 2, a Delaware limited partnership, founded in 2002, owns nine medical office buildings, and is 2.0% owned by the Company;

·	Shannon Health/MOB Limited Partnership No. 1, a Delaware limited partnership, founded in 2001, owns ten medical office buildings, and is 2.0% owned by the Company; and

·	McLeod Medical Partners, LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company, founded in 1982, owns three medical office buildings, and is 1.1% owned by the Company.

The following is a description of the consolidated entities:

·	Genesis Property Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, founded in 2007, owns one medical office building, and is 40.0% owned by the Company;

·	Cogdell Health Campus MOB, LP, a Pennsylvania limited partnership, founded in 2006, owns one medical office building, and is 80.9% owned by the Company;

·	Mebane Medical Investors, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, founded in 2006, owns one medical office building, and is 35.1% owned by the Company; and

·	Rocky Mount MOB, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, founded in 2002, owns one medical office building, and is 34.5% owned by the Company.

The Company is the general partner or managing member of these real estate partnerships and manages the properties owned by these entities. The Company may receive design/build revenue, development fees, property management fees, leasing fees, and expense reimbursements from these real estate partnerships. For consolidated entities, these revenues and fees are eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated entities are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements because the limited partners or non-managing members do not have sufficient participation rights in the partnerships to overcome the presumption of control by the Company as the managing member or general partner. The limited partners or non-managing members have certain protective rights such as the ability to prevent the sale of building, the dissolution of the partnership or limited liability company, or the incurrence of additional indebtedness, in each case subject to certain exceptions.

The Company has a 2.0% ownership in Shannon Health/MOB Limited Partnership No. 1 and a 2.0% ownership in BSB Health/MOB Limited Partnership No. 2. The partnership agreements and tenant leases of the limited partners are designed to give preferential treatment to the limited partners as to the operating cash flows from the partnerships. The Company, as the general partner, does not generally participate in the operating cash flows from these entities other than to receive property management fees. The limited partners can remove the Company as the property manager and as the general partner. Due to the structures of the partnership agreements and tenant lease agreements, the Company reports the properties owned by these two joint ventures as fee managed properties owned by third parties.

The Company’s unconsolidated entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting based on the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence as the entity’s managing member or general partner. The following is a summary of financial information for the limited liability companies and limited partnerships for the periods indicated.

4.	Business Segments

The Company has two identified reportable segments: (1) Property Operations and (2) Design-Build and Development. The Company defines business segments by their distinct customer base and service provided. Each segment operates under a separate management group and produces discrete financial information, which is reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to make resource allocation decisions and assess performance. Inter-segment sales and transfers are accounted for as if the sales and transfers were made to third parties, which involve applying a negotiated fee onto the costs of the services performed. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated during the consolidation process.

The Company’s management evaluates the operating performance of its operating segments based on funds from operations (“FFO”) and funds from operations modified (“FFOM”). FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company adjusts the NAREIT definition to add back noncontrolling interests in real estate partnerships before real estate related depreciation and amortization. FFOM adds back to FFO non-cash amortization of non-real estate related intangible assets associated with purchase accounting. The Company considers FFO and FFOM important supplemental measures of the Company’s operational performance. The Company believes FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. The Company believes that FFOM allows securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating current period results to results prior to the Erdman transaction. FFO and FFOM are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO and FFOM exclude depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. The Company’s methodology may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Further, FFO and FFOM do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties.

7.	Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company reviews the value of goodwill and intangible assets on an annual basis and when circumstances indicate a potential impairment may exist. An interim review of the Design-Build and Development’s intangible assets was performed on March 31, 2009, due to a decline in the Company’s stock price, a decline in the cash flow multiples for comparable public engineering and construction companies, and changes in the cash flow projections for the Design-Build and Development business segment resulting from a decline in backlog and delays and cancellations of client building projects. During the remainder of 2009, the Company determined that no interim review was necessary.

As a result of the March 31, 2009 review, the Company recorded, during the three months ended March 31, 2009, a pre-tax, non-cash impairment charge of ($120.9 million) and the Company recognized a non-cash income tax benefit of $19.2 million, resulting in an after-tax impairment charge of ($101.7 million). The Company performed an annual review of goodwill for impairment as of December 31, 2009, and concluded there was no impairment of goodwill. The Company also performed an annual review for impairment for other non-amortizing intangible assets and concluded no impairment existed. The Company determined that there were no impairment indicators and therefore an interim review was not necessary during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

The Company performed an annual review of goodwill for impairment as of December 31, 2009, and concluded there was no further impairment of goodwill. The Company also performed an annual review for impairment for other non-amortizing intangible assets and concluded no impairment existed. The Company determined that an interim review was not necessary during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

The goodwill impairment review at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2009 involved a two-step process. The first step was a comparison of the reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value. Fair value was estimated by using two approaches, an income approach and a market approach. Each approach was weighted 50% in the Company’s analysis. The income approach uses the reporting unit’s projected operating results and discounted cash flows using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions, which was 14.5% for the March 31, 2009 review and 14.0% for the December 31, 2009 review. The cash flow projections use estimates of economic and market information over the projection period, including growth rates in revenues and costs and estimates of future expected changes in operating margins and cash expenditures. Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital expenditures, and changes in future working capital requirements. The market approach estimates fair value by applying cash flow multiples to the reporting unit's operating performance. The multiples are derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and profitability characteristics. Additionally, the Company reconciled the total of the estimated fair values of all its reporting units to its market capitalization to determine if the sum of the individual fair values is reasonable compared to the external market indicators.

If the carrying value of the reporting unit is higher than its fair value, as it was for March 31, 2009, then an indication of impairment may exist and a second step must be performed to measure the amount of impairment. The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill calculated in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, then an impairment charge for the difference would be recorded.

For non-amortizing intangible assets, the Company estimates fair value by applying an estimated market royalty rate, 2.0% for the March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2009 reviews, to projected revenues and discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions, which was 14.5% for the March 31, 2009 review and 14.0% for the December 31, 2009 review.

The following table presents information about the Company’s goodwill and certain intangible assets measured at fair value as of March 31, 2009, the date at which the Company recorded an after-tax, non-cash impairment charge of $120.9 million (in thousands):

2011		3,353
2012		2,260
2013		1,499
2014		1,304

	$	20,185

8.	Mortgage Notes Payable and Borrowing Agreements

Scheduled Maturities

The Company’s mortgages are collateralized by property and principal and interest payments are generally made monthly. Scheduled maturities of mortgages, notes payable under the $150.0 million secured revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”), and the $50.0 million senior secured term facility (“Term Loan”) as of March 31, 2010, are as follows (in thousands):

For the year ending:	Total
Remainder of 2010	$	24,303
2011		181,696
2012		25,185
2013		16,025
2014		57,112
Thereafter		111,891
	$	416,212

The scheduled maturity related to the mortgage note payable on the Harbison Medical Office Building included in discontinued operations is not included above. The mortgage note payable requires monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $20,000 until February 2011, at which time a balloon payment of approximately $2.1 million is due.

By the end of the second quarter 2010, unless new revenue generating design-build construction projects are added by the Company, the number of revenue generating design-build construction projects will decline further as existing projects are completed. Although the Company is actively pursuing a number of new project opportunities and is starting to see some pick-up in requests for proposals and in client advance planning opportunities, the potential delays in recognizing revenue for projects may require the Company to pay down a portion of the principal of the Term Loan during 2010 to reduce the outstanding balance of the Term Loan and ensure future compliance with the covenants under this indebtedness. Management believes the Company has adequate resources to make any necessary pay down at any future reporting period.

At March 31, 2010, the Company believes it was in compliance with all its loan covenants. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

9.	Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest rate swap agreements are utilized to reduce exposure to variable interest rates associated with certain mortgage notes payable, the Term Loan, and the Credit Facility. These agreements involve an exchange of fixed and floating interest payments without the exchange of the underlying principal amount (the “notional amount”). The interest rate swap agreements are reported at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheet within “Other assets” or “Other liabilities” and changes in the fair value, net of tax where applicable, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) exclusive of ineffectiveness amounts. The following table summarizes the terms of the agreements and their fair values at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (dollars in thousands):

The valuation of derivative financial instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The fair values of variable to fixed interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates forward curves derived from observable market interest rate curves. To comply with GAAP, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

The MEA Holdings, LLC $100.0 million interest rate swap agreement was designated as a hedge instrument from its inception through June 3, 2009, the date of the $50.0 million repayment and amendment of the Term Loan. The agreement was not designated as a hedge instrument from June 4, 2009, through July 19, 2009. On July 20, 2009, the agreement was re-designated as a hedge instrument and is used to fix the floating rate portion on $50.0 million outstanding on the Term Loan and $50.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility.

Dividends and Distributions

On March 18, 2010, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share and OP unit that was paid in cash on April 21, 2010 to holders of record on March 26, 2010. The dividend covered the Company’s first quarter of 2010. Total distributions paid to OP unit holders, excluding inter-company distributions, during 2010 totaled $1.0 million.

11.	Incentive and Share-Based Compensation

The Company’s 2005 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (“2005 Incentive Plan”) provides for the grant of incentive awards to employees, directors and consultants to attract and retain qualified individuals and reward them for superior performance in achieving the Company’s business goals and enhancing stockholder value. Awards issuable under the incentive award plan include stock options, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, stock appreciation rights, long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP units”), cash performance bonuses and other incentive awards. Only employees are eligible to receive incentive stock options under the incentive award plan. The Company has reserved a total of 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to the 2005 Incentive Plan, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the plan. Each LTIP unit issued under the 2005 Incentive Plan will count as one share of stock for purposes of calculating the limit on shares that may be issued under the plan and the individual award limit discussed below.

In January 2010, each non-employee member of the Company’s Board of Directors was granted 6,981 shares of the Company’s restricted stock or LTIP units, at each director’s option, that all vested upon issuance. Messrs. Georgius, Lubar, Jennings, Neugent, and Smoak each elected to receive restricted stock and Mr. Lee elected to receive LTIP units. The restricted stock and LTIP units were valued at $5.73 per share, which was the Company’s closing stock price on the NYSE on the grant date. The Company has recorded compensation expense of $0.2 million in connection with these issuances.

In January 2010, the Company issued 500 LTIP units that vested upon issuance to one employee. The LTIP units were valued at $6.46 per unit, which was the Company’s closing stock price on the NYSE on the grant date. The Company has recorded compensation expense of less than $0.1 million in connection with this issuance.

In February 2010, the Company issued an aggregate of 14,394, LTIP units to certain employees based on specific performance goals. The LTIP units were valued at $6.23 per unit, which was the Company’s closing stock price on the grant date. The Company recorded compensation expense of less than $0.01 million and capitalized $0.07 million as a development project cost in connection with these issuances.

The following is a summary of restricted stock and LTIP unit activity for the three months ended March 31, 2010 (in thousands, except weighted average grant price):

	Restricted Stock			LTIP Units			Weighted Average Grant Price
Unvested balance at December 31, 2009		5			120		$	15.43
Granted		35			22			5.86

Forward-looking statements are based on estimates as of the date of this report. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements reflecting new estimates, events or circumstances after the date of this report.

The risks included here are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may include additional factors that could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial performance. Moreover, the Company operates 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 such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on the Company’s 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.

Overview

The Company is a fully-integrated, self-administered, and self-managed REIT that invests in specialty office buildings for the medical profession, including medical offices and ambulatory surgery and diagnostic centers. The Company focuses on the ownership, strategic planning, delivery (design/build), acquisition and management of strategically located medical office buildings and other healthcare related facilities in the United States of America. The Company has been built around understanding and addressing the specialized real estate needs of the healthcare industry and provides services from strategic planning to long-term property ownership and management. Integrated delivery service offerings include strategic planning, design, construction, development and project management services for properties owned by the Company and for third parties.

The Company derives a majority of its revenues from two sources: (1) rents received from tenants under existing leases in medical office buildings and other healthcare related facilities, and (2) from design-build services for healthcare customers. To a lesser degree, the Company has revenues from consulting and property management agreements.

The Company’s rental revenue is derived from its Property Operations segment. Generally, the Company’s property operating revenues and expenses have remained consistent over time except for growth due to property developments and property and business acquisitions. The Company expects that rental revenue will remain stable due to multi-year, non-cancellable leases with annual rental increases based on the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”).

The Company’s design-build revenue is derived from its Design-Build and Development segment. The demand for this segment’s services has been, and will likely continue to be, cyclical in nature. Financial results can be affected by the amount and timing of capital spending by healthcare systems and providers, the demand for the Company’s services in the healthcare facilities market, the availability of construction level financing, and weather at the construction sites. In periods of adverse economic conditions, design-build customers may be unwilling or unable to make capital expenditures and they may be unable to obtain debt or equity financings for projects. As a result, customers may defer projects to a later date, which could reduce design-build revenues. Due to the current adverse economic environment and the volatility in the credit markets, the Design-Build and Development segment is experiencing delays in client project starts and cancellations. Deterioration of market or economic conditions and volatility in the financial market has and could continue to influence future revenues, interest, and other costs, and could result in future impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets. The Company expects its design-build revenue and FFOM contribution from the Design-Build and Development segment for the year ending December 31, 2010 to be less than revenue and FFOM contribution from the Design-Build and Development segment for the same period in the prior year.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company’s portfolio consisted of 112 properties totaling approximately 5.8 million square feet. The Company’s portfolio was comprised of the following at March 31, 2010:

·	62 consolidated wholly-owned and joint venture properties, comprising a total of approximately 3.4 million net rentable square feet and an overall leased percentage of 90.6%,

·	One wholly-owned property in lease-up totaling approximately 0.1 million net rentable square feet and is 75% leased,

·	One wholly-owned property held for sale totaling 38,703 net rentable square feet,

·	Three unconsolidated joint venture properties comprising a total of approximately 0.2 million net rentable square feet and,

·	45 properties managed for third party clients comprising a total of approximately 2.1 million net rentable square feet.

At March 31, 2010, approximately 79.5% of the net rentable square feet of the Company’s wholly-owned properties were situated on hospital campuses. As such, the Company believes that its assets occupy a premier franchise location in relation to local hospitals, providing its properties with a distinct competitive advantage over alternative medical office space in an area. The Company believes that its property locations and relationships with hospitals will allow the Company to capitalize on the increasing healthcare trend of outpatient procedures.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with GAAP. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses in the reporting period. The Company’s actual results may differ from these estimates. Management has provided a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Critical accounting policies are those judged to involve accounting estimates or assumptions that may be material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for uncertain matters or susceptibility of such matters to change. Other companies in similar businesses may utilize different estimation policies and methodologies, which may impact the comparability of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition to those companies.

Acquisition of Real Estate

The price that the Company pays to acquire a property is impacted by many factors, including the condition of the buildings and improvements, the occupancy of the building, the existence of above and below market tenant leases, the creditworthiness of the tenants, favorable or unfavorable financing, above or below market ground leases and numerous other factors. Accordingly, the Company is required to make subjective assessments to allocate the purchase price paid to acquire investments in real estate among the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the Company’s estimate of the fair values of such assets and liabilities. This includes determining the value of the buildings and improvements, land, any ground leases, tenant improvements, in-place tenant leases, tenant relationships, the value (or negative value) of above (or below) market leases and any debt assumed from the seller or loans made by the seller to the Company. Each of these estimates requires significant judgment and some of the estimates involve complex calculations. The Company’s calculation methodology is summarized in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. These allocation assessments have a direct impact on the Company’s results of operations because if the Company were to allocate more value to land there would be no depreciation with respect to such amount or if the Company were to allocate more value to the buildings as opposed to allocating to the value of tenant leases, this amount would be recognized as an expense over a much longer period of time, since the amounts allocated to buildings are depreciated over the estimated lives of the buildings whereas amounts allocated to tenant leases are amortized over the terms of the leases. Additionally, the amortization of value (or negative value) assigned to above (or below) market rate leases is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenue as compared to amortization of the value of in-place leases and tenant relationships, which is included in depreciation and amortization in the Company’s consolidated and combined statements of operations.

Acquisition of Business

The price that the Company pays to acquire a business is impacted by many factors, including projected future cash flows, customer lists, contracts and proposals, trade names and trademarks, condition of property, plant, and equipment, and numerous other factors. Accordingly, the Company is required to make subjective assessments to allocate the purchase price paid to acquire investments in business among the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the Company’s estimate of the fair values of such assets and liabilities. This includes determining the value of contacts, proposals, customer lists, workforce, trade names and trademarks, receivables, accruals and reserves, and property, plant, and equipment. Each of these estimates requires significant judgment and some of the estimates involve complex calculations. The Company’s calculation methodology is summarized in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. These allocation assessments have a direct impact on the Company’s results of operations because if the Company were to allocate more value to goodwill or a non-amortizing intangible asset there would be no amortization with respect to such amount or if the Company were to allocate more value to a longer-lived asset as opposed to allocating to a shorter-lived asset, this amount would be recognized as an expense over a longer period of time.

Useful Lives of Assets

The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of the Company’s properties and intangible assets for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation and amortization to record on an annual basis with respect to the Company’s assets. These assessments have a direct impact on the Company’s net income (loss) because if the Company were to shorten the expected useful lives, then the Company would depreciate or amortize such assets over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation or amortization expense on an annual basis.

Asset Impairment Valuation

The Company reviews the carrying value of its properties, investments in real estate partnerships, and amortizing intangible assets annually and when circumstances, such as adverse market conditions or changes in the intended use of the asset, indicate that a potential impairment may exist. The Company bases its review on an estimate of the future cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from the real estate or business investment’s use and eventual disposition. The Company considers factors such as future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If the Company’s evaluation indicates that it may be unable to recover the carrying value of an investment, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. These losses have a direct impact on the Company’s net income (loss) because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to operating results. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future sales, backlog, occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. Because cash flows on properties considered to be long-lived assets to be held and used are considered on an undiscounted basis to determine whether an asset has been impaired, the Company’s strategy of holding properties over the long-term directly decreases the likelihood of recording an impairment loss for properties. If the Company’s strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized and such loss could be material. If the Company determines that impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of rental properties utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis that includes projections of future revenues, expenses and capital improvement costs, similar to the income approach that is commonly utilized by appraisers.

The Company reviews the value of goodwill using an income approach and market approach on an annual basis and when circumstances indicate a potential impairment may exist. The Company’s methodology to review goodwill impairment, which includes a significant amount of judgment and estimates, provides a reasonable basis to determine whether impairment has occurred. However, many of the factors employed in determining whether or not goodwill is impaired are outside of the Company’s control and it is likely that assumptions and estimates will change in future periods. These changes can result in future impairments which could be material.

The goodwill impairment review involves a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of the reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value. Fair value is estimated by utilizing two approaches, an income approach and a market approach. The income approach uses the reporting unit’s projected operating results and discounted cash flows using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions. The cash flow projections use estimates of economic and market information over the projection period, including growth rates in revenues and costs and estimates of future expected changes in operating margins and cash expenditures. Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital expenditures, and changes in future working capital requirements. The market approach estimates fair value by applying cash flow multiples to the reporting unit's operating performance. The multiples are derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and profitability characteristics. Additionally, the Company reconciles the total of the estimated fair values of all its reporting units to its market capitalization to determine if the sum of the individual fair values is reasonable compared to the external market indicators.

If the carrying value of the reporting unit is higher than its fair value, then an indication of impairment may exist and a second step must be performed to measure the amount of impairment. The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill calculated in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, then an impairment charge for the difference would be recorded. For non-amortizing intangible assets, the Company estimates fair value by applying an estimated market royalty rate to projected revenues and discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions.

If market and economic conditions deteriorate and cause (1) declines in the Company’s stock price, (2) increases the estimated weighted-average cost of capital, (3) changes in cash flow multiples or projections, or (4) changes in other inputs to goodwill assessment estimates, then a goodwill impairment review may be required prior to the Company’s next annual test. It is reasonably possible that changes in the numerous variables associated with the judgments, assumptions, and estimates could cause the goodwill or non-amortizing intangible assets to become impaired. If goodwill or non-amortizing intangible assets are impaired, the Company would be required to record a non-cash charge that could have a material adverse affect on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Rental income related to non-cancelable operating leases is recognized using the straight line method over the terms of the tenant leases. Deferred rents included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets represent the aggregate excess of rental revenue recognized on a straight line basis over the rental revenue that would be recognized under the cash flow received, based on the terms of the leases. The Company’s leases generally contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse the Company for all property operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred by the Company. Such reimbursements are recognized in the period that the expenses are incurred. Lease termination fees are recognized when the related leases are canceled and the Company has no continuing obligation to provide services to such former tenants. The Company recognizes amortization of the value of acquired above or below market tenant leases as a reduction of rental income in the case of above market leases or an increase to rental revenue in the case of below market leases.

For design-build contracts, the Company recognizes revenue under the percentage of completion method. Due to the volume, varying complexity, and other factors related to the Company’s design-build contracts, the estimates required to determine percentage of completion are complex and use subjective judgments. Changes in labor costs and material inputs can have a significant impact on the percentage of completion calculations. The Company has a long history of developing reasonable and dependable estimates related to design-build contracts with clear requirements and rights of the parties to the contracts. As long-term design-build projects extend over one or more years, revisions in cost and estimate earnings during the course of the work are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts which require the revision become known. At the time a loss on a design-build project becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated ultimate loss is recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company receives fees for property management and development and consulting services from time to time from third parties which are reflected as fee revenue. Management fees are generally based on a percentage of revenues for the month as defined in the related property management agreements. Revenue from development and consulting agreements is recognized as earned per the agreements. Due to the amount of control retained by the Company, most joint venture developments will be consolidated; therefore, those development fees will be eliminated in consolidation.

Other income shown in the statement of operations generally includes interest income, primarily from the amortization of unearned income on a sales-type capital lease recognized in accordance with GAAP, and other income incidental to the Company’s operations and is recognized when earned.

The Company must make subjective estimates as to when the Company’s revenue is earned and the collectability of the Company’s accounts receivable related to design-build contracts and other sales, deferred rent, expense reimbursements, lease termination fees and other income. The Company specifically analyzes accounts receivable and historical bad debts, tenant and customer concentrations, tenant and customer creditworthiness, and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for bad debts. These estimates have a direct impact on the Company’s net income because a higher bad debt allowance would result in lower net income, and recognizing rental revenue as earned in one period versus another would result in higher or lower net income for a particular period.

REIT Qualification Requirements

The Company is subject to a number of operational and organizational requirements to qualify and then maintain qualification as a REIT. If the Company does not qualify as a REIT, its income would become subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate rates that would be substantial and the Company cannot re-elect to qualify as a REIT for four taxable years following the year it failed to quality as a REIT. The resulting adverse effects on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity and amounts distributable to stockholders would be material.

Results of Operations

The Company’s income (loss) from operations is generated primarily from operations of its properties and design-build services. The changes in operating results from period to period reflect changes in existing property performance, changes in the number of properties due to development, acquisition, or disposition of properties, and the operating results of the Design-Build and Development segment.

Business Segments

The Company has two identified reportable segments: (1) Property Operations and (2) Design-Build and Development. The Company defines business segments by their distinct customer base and service provided. Each segment operates under a separate management group and produces discrete financial information, which is reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to make resource allocation decisions and assess performance. See Note 4 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

Property Summary

The following is an activity summary of the Company’s in-service and lease-up property portfolio (excluding unconsolidated partnership properties) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2009:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2010		March 31, 2009
Properties at beginning of the period		62		62
Developments		1		-
Properties at end of the period		63		62

	Year Ended
	December 31, 2009
Properties at January 1		62
Developments		1
Discontinued operations held for sale		(1	)
Properties at December 31		62

The above tables include East Jefferson Medical Specialty Building, which is accounted for as a sales-type capital lease.

The Company considers a property to be “in-service” upon the earlier of (1) lease-up and substantial completion of tenant improvements, or (2) one year after cessation of major construction. For portfolio and operational data, a single in-service date is used. For GAAP reporting, a property is placed into service in stages as construction is completed and the property and tenant space is available for its intended use. The Company had one property in lease-up at March 31, 2010 and one property in lease-up at March 31, 2009.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009

FFOM

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, FFOM, excluding non-recurring event, increased $3.1 million, or 38.3%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is due primarily to increased FFOM for the Company’s business segments. FFOM for the Design-Build and Development segment increased $2.4 million, excluding impairment charges, and FFOM for the Property Operations segment increased $0.9 million. The following is a summary of FFOM for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2010			March 31, 2009

See Note 4 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of above segment FFOM to net income (loss).

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, FFOM attributable to property operations, net of intersegment eliminations, increased $0.9 million, or 7.4%, compared to the same period last year. The increase in rental revenue is primarily due to the addition of two properties, the Woodlands Center for Specialized Medicine property which began operations in December 2009, and Medical Center Physicians Tower which began operations in February 2010, as well as increases in rental rates associated with CPI increases and reimbursable expenses. The increase in property operating and management expenses is primarily due to the addition of the properties previously mentioned.

FFOM attributable to Design-Build and Development, net of intersegment eliminations

The following is a summary of FFOM attributable to Design-Build and Development, net of intersegment eliminations, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2010			March 31, 2009

See Note 4 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in the Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of above segment FFOM to net income (loss).

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, FFOM, excluding impairment charge, attributable to design-build and development, net of intersegment eliminations, increased $2.5 million, or 58.7%, compared to the same period last year.

Revenues (design-build contract revenue and other sales plus development management and other income) decreased $13.7 million, or 27.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period last year. This decrease is due to a lower volume of activity as the number of active revenue generating design-build construction projects has decreased from 22 at March 31, 2009 to 11at March 31, 2010. The decreased activity is due to the current economic environment, the volatility in the credit markets, and general uncertainty regarding government health care reform bills, which have resulted in clients delaying project starts and client project cancellations. By the end of the second quarter of 2010, unless new revenue generating design-build construction projects for third parties are added by the Company, the number of revenue generating design-build construction projects will decline further as existing projects are completed. The Company is actively pursuing a number of new project opportunities for third parties and is starting to see some pick-up in requests for proposals and in client advance opportunities. However, in the past the time period from ebing selected as a result of the request for proposal proces and the start of construction, which is a trigger for commencement for revenue recognition for a project, has averaged approximately 6 to 15 months.

However, gross margin percentage (revenues, as defined above, less design-build contract and development management expenses and as a percent of revenues) increased from 18.3% in 2009 to 30.7% in 2010, or an increase of 67.8%. This increase is primarily due to cost controls implemented by the Company, favorable pricing in the sub-contracting market leading to lower overall costs, and the timing and type of work being performed for each project during the time periods. The gross margin percentage experienced during the three months ended March 31, 2010, is not indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods during the current fiscal year. The Company expects gross margin percentage to decrease during the current year.

Development management and other income decreased $2.7 million, or 96.3%, for the three months ended March 31,2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease is due to two active third party development engagements during 2009 compared to one engagement in 2010. In addition, one of the development engagements in 2009, which accounted for $2.0 million of the decrease, relates to the St. Luke’s Riverside engagement in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. This was a three building engagement project, of which the Company was to wholly-own or partially-own one of the three buildings. Due to changes in the scope, size, and timing of the project, the Company no longer intended to invest in the building under the original terms. In accordance with the development agreement, during 2009, the hospital system client paid for all reimbursable projects costs and for development services performed by the Company.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses attributable to the Design-Build and Development segment decreased $0.6 million, or 14.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in force that occurred in May 2009 and other cost reduction initiatives implemented by the Company.

Selling, general, and administrative

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 12.7% as compared to the same period last year. Excluding the decrease attributable to the Design-Build and Development segment, which is discussed above, selling, general and administrative decreased $0.2 million due to lower professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Depreciation and amortization

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $2.0 million, or 19.8%, as compared to the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in intangible amortization due to lower carrying values due to the impairment recorded in the first quarter of 2009, as discussed below.

Impairment charge

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, there were no indicators that impairment charges were required whereas there was a $120.9 million charge for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Company reviews the value of goodwill and intangible assets on an annual basis and when circumstances indicate a potential impairment may exist. An interim review of the Design-Build and Development’s intangible assets was performed on March 31, 2009, due to a decline in the Company’s stock price, a decline in the cash flow multiples for comparable public engineering and construction companies, and changes in the cash flow projections for the Design-Build and Development business segment resulting from a decline in backlog and delays and cancellations of client building projects.

As a result of the March 31, 2009 review, the Company recorded, during the three months ended March 31, 2009, a pre-tax, non-cash impairment charge of $120.9 million and the Company recognized a non-cash income tax benefit of $19.2 million, resulting in an after-tax impairment charge of $101.7 million. The Company’s goodwill, amortizing and non-amortizing intangible assets, and deferred tax liabilities associated with the Design-Build and Development business segment have been reduced from the December 31, 2008 carrying amounts as a result of the impairment charge.

Interest expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, interest expense decreased $0.9 million, or 15.1%, as compared to the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to lower debt balances as the Company used a majority of the proceeds from its June 2009 equity offering to repay debt. This decrease was offset by increases in interest expense related to mortgage debt on properties that became operational in December 2009 and February 2010.

Income tax benefit (expense)

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, income tax expense increased $21.4 million, or 108.8%, as compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to the $19.2 million income tax benefit recorded in the prior year as a result of the impairment charge described above. No such benefit was recorded in the current year. The remainder of the increase relates to the increased income for the Design-Build and Development segment.

Cash Flows

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009

Cash provided by operating activities increased $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the same period last year, and is summarized below for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2010			March 31, 2009
Net income (loss) plus non-cash adjustments	$	11,745		$	10,061
Changes in operating assets and liabilities		(8,977	)		(7,916	)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	2,768		$	2,145

The net income (loss) plus non-cash adjustments increased $1.7 million, or 16.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to increased earnings. The changes in operating assets and liabilities decreased $1.1 million, or 13.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in design-build billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, which decreases cash provided by operations, offset by severance costs paid in the first quarter of 2009 compared to no such payments in 2010, which increases cash provided by operations.

Cash used in investing activities increased $1.9 million, or 24.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to an increase in the number of properties under construction and changes in restricted cash balances offset by a decrease in purchases of corporate property, plant, and equipment as the Design-Build and Development segment was constructing a steel fabrication facility in the prior period.

Investment in real estate properties consisted of the following for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2010			March 31, 2009
Development, redevelopment, and acquisitions	$	(9,177	)	$	(6,321	)
Second generation tenant improvements		(208	)		(671	)
Recurring property capital expenditures		(8	)		(56	)
Investment in real estate properties	$	(9,393	)	$	(7,048	)

Cash used in financing activities decreased $16.2 million, or 96.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to $12.5 million being repaid to the revolving credit facility in the prior period whereas no repayments were made in the current period and an increase in construction loan proceeds, which corresponds to the increased properties under construction. These were offset by an increase in distributions made to noncontrolling interests in real estate partnerships primarily due to the sharing of construction savings related to a completed development property owned by a consolidated joint venture partnership.

Construction in Progress

Construction in progress consisted of the following as March 31, 2010 (dollars in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $18.5 million available in cash and cash equivalents. The Company is required to distribute at least 90% of the Company’s net taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to the Company’s stockholders on an annual basis due to qualification requirements as a REIT. Therefore, as a general matter, it is unlikely that the Company will have any substantial cash balances that could be used to meet the Company’s liquidity needs. Instead, these needs must be met from cash generated from operations and external sources of capital.

The Company has a $150.0 million secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions (including Bank of America, N.A., KeyBank National Association, Branch Banking and Trust Company, Wachovia Bank, National Association, M&I Marshall and Ilsley Bank, and Citicorp North America, Inc.) (collectively, the “Lenders”). The Credit Facility is available to fund working capital and for other general corporate purposes; to finance acquisition and development activity; and to refinance existing and future indebtedness. The Credit Facility permits the Company to borrow up to $150.0 million of revolving loans, with sub-limits of $25.0 million for swingline loans and $25.0 million for letters of credit.

The Credit Facility will terminate and all amounts outstanding thereunder shall be due and payable in March 2011. The Credit Facility provides for a one-year extension at the Company’s option conditioned upon the Lenders being satisfied with the Company and its subsidiaries’ financial condition and liquidity, and taking into consideration any payment, extension or refinancing of the Term Loan. There can be no assurance if and on what terms the Lenders may be willing to extend the Credit Facility upon its maturity in March 2011.

The Credit Facility also allows for up to $100.0 million of increased availability (to a total aggregate available amount of $250.0 million), at the Company’s option but subject to each Lender’s option to increase its commitment. The interest rate on loans under the Credit Facility equals, at the Company’s election, either (1) LIBOR (0.25% as of March 31, 2010) plus a margin of between 95 to 140 basis points based on the Company’s total leverage ratio (1.25% as of March 31, 2010) or (2) the higher of the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points or Bank of America, N.A.’s prime rate (3.25% as of March 31, 2010).

The Credit Facility contains customary terms and conditions for credit facilities of this type, including, but not limited to: (1) affirmative covenants relating to the Company’s corporate structure and ownership, maintenance of insurance, compliance with environmental laws and preparation of environmental reports, maintenance of the Company’s REIT qualification and listing on the NYSE, (2) negative covenants relating to restrictions on liens, indebtedness, certain investments (including loans and certain advances), mergers and other fundamental changes, sales and other dispositions of property or assets and transactions with affiliates, and (3) financial covenants to be met by the Company at all times, including a maximum total leverage ratio (70%), maximum real estate leverage ratio (70%), minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (1.50 to 1.00), maximum total debt to real estate value ratio (90%) and minimum consolidated tangible net worth ($45 million plus 85% of the net proceeds of equity issuances issued after the closing date).

As of March 31, 2010, there was $61.7 million available under the Credit Facility. There was $80.0 million outstanding at March 31, 2010 and $8.3 million of availability was restricted related to outstanding letters of credit.

The Credit Facility has the following financial covenants as of March 31, 2010 (dollars in thousands):

Financial Covenant	As of and for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010
Maximum total leverage ratio (0.70 to 1.00)	0.48 to 1.00

Maximum real estate leverage ratio (0.70 to 1.00)	0.54 to 1.00

Minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (1.50 to 1.00)	2.40 to 1.00

Minimum consolidated tangible net worth ($141,983)	$	206,168

Maximum total debt to real estate value ration (0.90 to 1.00)	0.62 to 1.00

The Company has $50.0 million outstanding under a $50.0 million Term Loan. The Term Loan was initially $100.0 million and the Company repaid $50.0 million in June 2009. The Term Loan is secured by the stock and certain accounts receivable of Erdman and is guaranteed by the Company. The Term Loan matures in March 2011, and is subject to a one-time right to a one-year extension at the Company’s option (and the payment of an extension fee).

The current economic environment and the volatility in the credit markets have affected and, most likely, will continue to affect the Company’s results of operations and financial position and in particular, the results of operations and financial position of the Design-Build and Development segment. During the year ended 2009 as well as the first three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company experienced delays in client project starts and some contract cancellations. Due to the uncertainty of Design-Build and Development segment’s future operating results, the Company and the Term Loan lenders amended the Term Loan in June 2009. The amendment, among other things, amended certain financial covenants relating to the Design-Build and Development segment, as well as certain other provisions of the Term Loan, including (1) the elimination of the minimum adjusted consolidated EBITDA covenant (previously $22.5 million), (2) a modification of the maximum adjusted consolidated senior indebtedness to adjusted consolidated EBITDA covenant to 3.50 to 1.00 through March 2011, with a one-time ability to exceed 3.50 to 1.00 but not greater than 3.75 to 1.00, and 3.00 to 1.00 from April 2011 to final maturity (previously 4.25 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2009, decreasing to 3.75 to 1.00 as of July 1, 2009), (3) an increase in the interest rate from LIBOR plus 3.50% to LIBOR plus 4.50%, and (4) payment of a market based modification fee. The amendment was subject to the repayment of $50.0 million of the outstanding balance under the Term Loan by the Borrower (which amount was repaid on June 3, 2009) and certain other customary terms and conditions.

The Term Loan, as amended, also has the following financial covenants relating only to the Design-Build and Development segment as of March 31, 2010:

Financial Covenant	As of and for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010
Minimum adjusted consolidated EBITDA
to consolidated fixed charges (2.00 to 1.00)	4.39 to 1.00

Maximum consolidated senior indebtedness to
adjusted consolidated EBITDA (3.50 to 1.00,
with a one-time ability to exceed 3.50 to 1.00,
but not greater than 3.75 to 1.00)	2.14 to 1.00

Maximum consolidated indebtedness to adjusted
consolidated EBITDA (5.50 to 1.00)	2.14 to 1.00

The Term Loan also contains customary covenants similar to the Credit Facility and financial covenants to be met by the Company at all times under the guaranty, including a maximum total leverage ratio (70%), maximum real estate leverage ratio (70%), minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (1.50 to 1.00), maximum total debt to real estate value ratio (90%) and minimum consolidated tangible net worth ($45 million plus 85% of the net proceeds of equity issuances), as well as being cross defaulted to the Company’s Credit Facility.

If the Company were in default under the Credit Facility or the Term Loan, then the Lenders can declare the Company in default under the other agreement as well. As of March 31, 2010, the Company believes that it is in compliance with all of its debt covenants under the Credit Facility and the Term Loan.

The Credit Facility and Term Loan mature in March 2011. Both have one-time, one year conditional extension options at the Company’s election. As of March 31, 2010, the Company expects to exercise the extension option for both the Credit Facility and the Term Loan.

Short-Term Liquidity Needs

The Company believes that it will have sufficient capital resources as a result of operations and the borrowings in place to fund ongoing operations and distributions required to maintain REIT compliance. Subject to IRS guidelines, the Company is permitted to pay a portion of its dividends in the form of common stock in lieu of cash. The Company anticipates using its cash and cash equivalents and Credit Facility availability for changes in operating assets and liabilities, principal maturities, and the Company’s equity funding portion for new developments and acquisitions. For 2010, the Company has one redevelopment project planned with an expected investment of approximately $4.0 million.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $24.3 million of principal and maturity payments related to mortgage note payables remaining due in 2010. The $24.3 million is comprised of $3.4 million for principal amortization and $20.9 million for maturities. Of the $20.9 million in maturing mortgage notes payable, $7.2 relates to wholly-owned properties and $13.7 million relates to Alamance Regional Medical Outpatient Center, which is a consolidated real estate partnership in which the Company owns 35.5%.

The Company believes it will be able to refinance the $7.2 million 2010 balloon maturities related to the wholly-owned properties as a result of the current loan to value ratios at individual properties and preliminary discussions with lenders. The Company believes that it will be able to refinance $12.4 million of the $13.7 million 2010 balloon maturity related to Alamance Regional Medical Outpatient Center.

Should the Company be unable to refinance the 2010 balloon maturities, the Company has $80.2 million combined cash and cash equivalents and Credit Facility availability as of March 31, 2010, which exceeds the 2010 principal and maturity payments due in 2010.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company has no outstanding equity commitments to joint ventures formed prior to March 31, 2010. The Cogdell Spencer Medical Partners LLC acquisition joint venture with Northwestern Mutual has no properties under contract to acquire as of March 31, 2010, thus the Company has no equity commitment to the joint venture as of March 31, 2010.

On March 18, 2010, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had declared a quarterly dividend and distribution of $0.10 per share and OP unit that was paid in cash on April 21, 2010 to stockholders and holders of OP units of record on March 26, 2010. The dividend and distribution covered the first quarter of 2010 and totaled $5.0 million. The dividend and distribution were equivalent to an annual rate of $0.40 per share and OP unit.

Long-Term Liquidity Needs

The Company’s principal long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of new property development, property acquisitions, and principal payments under various mortgages and other credit facilities and non-recurring capital expenditures. The Company does not expect that its net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to meet all of these long-term liquidity needs. Instead, the Company expects to finance new property developments through modest cash equity capital contributed by the Company together with construction loan proceeds, as well as through cash equity investments by its tenants or third parties. The Company intends to have construction financing agreements in place before construction begins on development projects. The Company expects to fund property acquisitions through a combination of borrowings under its Credit Facility and traditional secured mortgage financing. In addition, the Company may use OP units issued by the Operating Partnership to acquire properties from existing owners seeking a tax deferred transaction.

The Company continues to expect to meet long-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations and through additional equity and debt financings, including loans from banks, institutional investors or other lenders, bridge loans, letters of credit, and other lending arrangements, most of which will be secured by mortgages. Notwithstanding the Company’s expectations discussed above, financial markets continue to experience unusual volatility and uncertainty. Financial systems throughout the world have become illiquid with banks no longer willing to lend substantial amounts to other banks and borrowers. Consequently, there is greater uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to access the credit market in order to attract financing or capital on reasonable terms or on any terms. The Company may also issue unsecured debt in the future. However, with the current volatility of the debt and equity markets, there can be no assurance as to the Company’s ability to raise new debt or equity. The Company does not, in general, expect to meet its long-term liquidity needs through dispositions of its properties. In the event that the Company were to sell any of its properties in the future, depending on which property were to be sold, the Company may need to structure the sale or disposition as a tax deferred transaction which would require the reinvestment of the proceeds from such transaction in another property or, however, the proceeds that would be available to the Company from such sales may be reduced by amounts that the Company may owe under the tax protection agreements entered into in connection with the Company’s formation transactions and certain property acquisitions. In addition, the Company’s ability to sell certain of its assets could be adversely affected by the general illiquidity of real estate assets and certain additional factors particular to the Company’s portfolio such as the specialized nature of its target property type, property use restrictions and the need to obtain consents or waivers of rights of first refusal or rights of first offers from ground lessors in the case of sales of its properties that are subject to ground leases.

The Company intends to repay indebtedness incurred under its Credit Facility from time to time, for acquisitions or otherwise, out of cash flow from operations and from the proceeds, to the extent possible and desirable, of additional debt or equity issuances. In the future, the Company may seek to increase the amount of the Credit Facility, negotiate additional credit facilities or issue corporate debt instruments. Any indebtedness incurred or issued by the Company may be secured or unsecured, short-, medium- or long-term, fixed or variable interest rate and may be subject to other terms and conditions the Company deems acceptable. The Company intends to refinance at maturity the mortgage notes payable that have balloon payments at maturity.

___________________

(1) Includes notes payable under the Company’s Credit Facility.

(2) As collateral for performance, the Company is contingently liable under standby letters of credit, which also reduces the availability under the Credit Facility.

(3) Assumes one-month LIBOR of 0.25% and Prime Rate of 3.25%, which were the rates as of March 31, 2010.

(4) These purchase commitments are related to the Company’s development projects that are currently under construction. The Company has a committed construction loan that will fund the obligation.

(5) Substantially all of the ground and air rights leases effectively limit our control over various aspects of the operation of the applicable property, restrict our ability to transfer the property and allow the

lessor the right of first refusal to purchase the building and improvements. All of the ground leases provide for the property to revert to the lessor for no consideration upon the expiration or earlier

termination of the ground or air rights lease.

(6) Payments under operating lease agreements relate to several of our properties’ equipment and office space leases. The future minimum lease commitments under these leases are as indicated.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company may guarantee debt in connection with certain of its development activities, including joint ventures, from time to time. As of March 31, 2010, the Company did not have any such guarantees or other off-balance sheet arrangements outstanding.

Real Estate Taxes

The Company’s leases generally require the tenants to be responsible for all real estate taxes.

Inflation

The Company’s leases at wholly-owned and consolidated partnership properties generally provide for either indexed escalators, based on CPI or other measures, or to a lesser extent fixed increases in base rents. The leases also contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse the Company for a portion of property operating expenses and real estate taxes. The Company’s property management and related services provided to third parties typically provide for fees based on a percentage of revenues for the month as defined in the related property management agreements. The revenues collected from leases are generally structured as described above, with year over year increases. The Company also pays certain payroll and related costs related to the operations of third party properties that are managed by the Company. Under terms of the related management agreements, these costs are reimbursed by the third party property owners. The Company believes that inflationary increases in expenses will be offset, in part, by the contractual rent increases and tenant expense reimbursements described above.

Seasonality

Business under the Design-Build and Development segment can be subject to seasonality due to weather conditions at construction sites. In addition, construction starts and contract signings can be impacted by the timing of budget cycles at healthcare systems and providers.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. The Company uses some derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to the Company’s borrowings. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enters into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had $416.2 million of consolidated debt outstanding (excluding any discounts or premiums related to assumed debt). Of the Company’s total consolidated debt, $70.8 million, or 17.0%, was variable rate debt that is not subject to variable to fixed rate interest rate swap agreements. Of the Company’s total indebtedness, $345.4 million, or 83.0%, was subject to fixed interest rates, including variable rate debt that is subject to variable to fixed rate swap agreements. The weighted average interest rate for fixed rate debt was 5.7% as of March 31, 2010.

If LIBOR were to increase by 100 basis points based on March 31, 2010 one-month LIBOR of 0.25%, the increase in interest expense on the Company’s March 31, 2010 variable rate debt would decrease future annual earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.7 million. Interest rate risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on the Company’s financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, the Company may take actions to further mitigate the Company’s exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in the Company’s financial structure.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15, have concluded that as of March 31, 2010, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurances to the timely collection, evaluation and disclosure of information relating to the Company that would potentially be subject to disclosure under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.
