The registrant hereby amends its Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on September 12, 2006, which reported the purchase of the fee interest in Dulles Park (“Republic Park 8”). Except for the following attached financial statements and pro forma financial information, this Form 8-K/A does not modify or update other disclosures in, or exhibits to, the original filing.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
The following historical and pro forma financial information is presented in accordance with Rule 3-14 and Article 11, respectively, of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The historical financial statements of Republic Park 8 have been audited only for the most recent fiscal year as the transaction relating to the investment as described in the registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed September 12, 2006, did not involve a related party and, after reasonable inquiry, the registrant is not aware of any material factors related to Republic Park 8 not otherwise disclosed that would cause the reported historical financial information to not be necessarily indicative of future operating results. In addition, as Republic Park 8 will be directly or indirectly owned by an entity that has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (as specified under sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) for Federal income tax purposes, a presentation of estimated taxable operating results is not applicable. Consistent with our other acquisitions, material factors evaluated in the acquisition process included historical tenant occupancy levels, average rents and expected lease rollovers; expansion and/or redevelopment opportunities; our ability to add value through operating efficiencies; and our ability to finance the transaction.

REPUBLIC PARK 8
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Republic Property Trust
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses (as defined in Note 1) of Republic Park 8 for the year ended December 31, 2005. This statement of revenues and certain expenses is the responsibility of the management of Republic Park 8. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement of revenues and certain expenses based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of revenues and certain expenses is free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of Republic Park 8’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Republic Park 8’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the statement of revenues and certain expenses, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses of Republic Park 8 was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as described in Note 2, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the revenues and expenses of Republic Park 8.
In our opinion, the statement of revenues and certain expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses of Republic Park 8 for the year ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

REPUBLIC PARK 8
Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses
1. Organization
The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses include information regarding one office building (“Republic Park 8”) a 7 year-old office property located in Herndon, Virginia. Republic Park 8 contains approximately 181,000 net rentable square feet.
On September 6, 2006, Republic Property Limited Partnership (Republic Property Trust’s operating partnership of which it owns approximately 88% of the partnership units), through a 100% owned subsidiary entity, acquired Republic Park 8.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Matters
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses of Republic Park 8 have been prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, the statements are not representative of the actual operations for the periods presented since revenues and certain operating expenses, which may be directly attributable to the revenues and expenses expected to be incurred in the future operations of Republic Park 8, have been excluded. Such items include depreciation, amortization, interest expense and interest income.
Revenue Recognition
Base rental revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Recoveries from tenants for real estate taxes and other operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the applicable costs are incurred. Recognition of rental income commences when control of the space has been given to the tenant.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the statements of revenues and certain expenses in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and judgments that effect the amounts reported in the statements of revenues and certain expenses and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. Tenant Leases
The total minimum rents to be received from tenants located in Republic Park 8 under non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2005 are as follows:
| | | | |
(Dollars in thousands) | | | | |
2006 | | $ | 2,404 | |
2007 | | | 2,447 | |
2008 | | | 2,490 | |
2009 | | | 2,223 | |
2010 | | | 624 | |
Subsequent to 2010 | | | 771 | |
| | | |
Total | | $ | 10,959 | |
| | | |
4. Unaudited Interim Statement
The statement of revenues and certain operating expenses for Republic Park 8 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is unaudited. In the opinion of management all significant adjustments for a fair presentation of the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses have been included. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year of operations for Republic Park 8.

REPUBLIC PROPERTY TRUST
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Management has prepared the following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information by adjusting the historical consolidated financial statements of Republic Property Trust (“we,” “us,” or the “Company”) to give effect to the September 2006 acquisition of the office building (“Republic Park 8”).
The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2006, reflects the acquisition of Republic Park 8 as if it had occurred on June 30, 2006. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the six months ended June 30, 2006 have been prepared as if the acquisition of Republic Park 8 had occurred at the beginning of each period presented.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements neither purport to represent what the consolidated results of operations actually would have been if the acquisition of Republic Park 8 had occurred at the beginning of each period presented nor do they purport to project the consolidated operations for any future period.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); our Form 8-K reporting the acquisition of Republic Park 8 filed with the SEC on September 12, 2006; and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. In management’s opinion, all significant pro forma adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the acquisition of Republic Park 8 have been made.
