Liberty Property Trust

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

June 30, 2011

Note 1: Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

Liberty Property Trust (the “Trust”) is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (a “REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust’s assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by its subsidiary, Liberty Property Limited Partnership, a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, together with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”). The Trust is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owning 96.7% of the common equity of the Operating Partnership at June 30, 2011. The Company provides leasing, property management, development, acquisition, and other tenant-related services for a portfolio of industrial and office properties which are located principally within the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern United States and the United Kingdom.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Trust and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership, have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Trust and the Operating Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2010. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The amounts of anti-dilutive options that were excluded from the computation of diluted income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were 965,000 and 1,119,000, respectively, as compared to 1,513,000 and 1,473,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2010.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, 48,000 and 171,000 common shares, respectively, were issued upon the exercise of options. During the year ended December 31, 2010, 315,000 common shares were issued upon the exercise of options.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company’s United Kingdom operations is pounds sterling. The Company translates the financial statements for the United Kingdom operations into US dollars. Gains and losses resulting from this translation do not impact the results of operations and are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. A proportionate amount of gain or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interest-common units. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists solely of the foreign currency translation adjustments described above. Other comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $39,000 and $2.2 million, respectively, as compared to other comprehensive loss of $1.1 million and $5.7 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. Upon sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of the Company’s foreign investment, the gain or loss on the sale will include the cumulative translation adjustments that have been previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and noncontrolling interest-common units.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

ASU 2011-04

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and IFRS” (“ASU 2011-04”), which amends ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” to converge US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) requirements for measuring accounts at fair value, including the disclosures regarding these measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

ASU 2011-05

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”), which will lead to converging guidance under US GAAP and IFRS related to presentation of comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012 and the provisions of ASU 2011-05 will be adopted retrospectively. The Company does anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Note 2: Segment Information

The Company operates its portfolio of properties primarily throughout the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern United States. Additionally, the Company owns certain assets in the United Kingdom. The Company reviews the performance of the portfolio on a geographical basis. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company realigned the reportable segments due to changes in internal reporting responsibilities. As such, the following are considered the Company’s reportable segments:


REGIONS		MARKETS

Northeast		Southeastern PA; Lehigh/Central PA; New Jersey; Maryland
Central		Minnesota; Milwaukee; Chicago; Texas; Arizona
South		Richmond; Virginia Beach; Carolinas; Jacksonville; Orlando; South Florida; Tampa
Metro		Philadelphia; Metro Washington, D.C.
United Kingdom		County of Kent; West Midlands

The following lists the Company’s reportable segments as characterized in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010:


REGIONS (BEFORE 2011 CHANGES)		MARKETS (BEFORE 2011 CHANGES)

Northeast		Southeastern PA; Lehigh/Central PA; New Jersey
Midwest		Minnesota; Milwaukee; Chicago
Mid-Atlantic		Maryland; Carolinas; Richmond; Virginia Beach
South		Jacksonville; Orlando; South Florida; Tampa; Texas; Arizona
Philadelphia/D.C.		Philadelphia; Metro Washington, D.C.
United Kingdom		County of Kent; West Midlands

As required by FASB ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” consolidated financial statements issued by the Company in the future will reflect modifications to the Company’s reportable segments resulting from the change described above, including reclassification of all comparative prior period reportable segment information.

Gross investment in operating real estate decreased by $117.3 million for the Lehigh/Central PA reportable segment and decreased by $120.7 million for the South reportable segment from December 31, 2010 (as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010) as compared to June 30, 2011 due to properties having been sold prior to June 30, 2011 (see note 3 below).

The Company evaluates performance of the reportable segments based on property level operating income, which is calculated as rental revenue and operating expense reimbursement less rental property expenses and real estate taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those for the Company on a consolidated basis.

The operating information by reportable segment is as follows (in thousands):

Note 3: Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

The operating results and gain/(loss) on disposition of real estate for properties sold and held for sale are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations. Prior period financial statements have been adjusted for discontinued operations. The proceeds from dispositions of operating properties with no continuing involvement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 were $266.0 million and $269.7 million, respectively, as compared to $10.2 million and $16.5 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2010.

Below is a summary of the results of operations for the properties held for sale and disposed of through the respective disposition dates (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2011			June 30, 2010			June 30, 2011			June 30, 2010

Revenues	$	6,421		$	12,678		$	18,029		$	26,240
Operating expenses		(2,686	)		(4,707	)		(7,566	)		(10,285	)
Interest expense		(972	)		(2,756	)		(2,542	)		(5,631	)
Depreciation and amortization		(446	)		(4,227	)		(3,186	)		(7,203	)

Income before property dispositions	$	2,317		$	988		$	4,735		$	3,121

Four properties totaling 338,000 square feet in the Company’s Central reportable segment were considered to be held for sale as of June 30, 2011. These properties were sold subsequent to June 30, 2011 for proceeds of $40.8 million.

Interest expense is allocated to discontinued operations. The allocation of interest expense to discontinued operations was based on the ratio of net assets sold and held for sale (without continuing involvement) to the sum of total net assets plus consolidated debt.

Asset Impairment

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized impairment charges of $4.2 million and $4.7 million, respectively, related to properties in the Central reportable segment that were classified as held for sale or sold. These impairments were included in discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company determined these impairments through a comparison of the aggregate future cash flows (including quoted offer prices, a Level I input according to the fair value hierarchy established by the FASB in Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”) to be generated by the property to the carrying value of the properties. The Company has evaluated each of the properties and land held for development and has determined that there are no additional valuation adjustments necessary at June 30, 2011. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized impairment charges of $400,000 related to a portfolio of properties in the Company’s Metro reportable segment.

Note 4: Noncontrolling interests

Noncontrolling interests in the accompanying financial statements represent the interests of the common and preferred units in Liberty Property Limited Partnership not held by the Trust. In addition, noncontrolling interests include third-party ownership interests in consolidated joint venture investments.

Common units

The common units outstanding as of June 30, 2011 have the same economic characteristics as common shares of the Trust. The 3,902,065 outstanding common units share proportionately in the net income or loss and in any distributions of the Operating Partnership. The common units of the Operating Partnership not held by the Trust are redeemable at any time at the option of the holder. The Trust, as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, may at its option elect to settle the redemption in cash or through the exchange on a one-for-one basis with unregistered common shares of the Trust. The market value of the 3,902,065 outstanding common units based on the closing price of the common shares of the Company at June 30, 2011 was $127.1 million.

Preferred units

The Company has outstanding the following cumulative redeemable preferred units of the Operating Partnership (the “Preferred Units”):


ISSUE	AMOUNT		UNITS		LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE		DIVIDEND RATE			REDEEMABLE ASOF		EXCHANGEABLEAFTER
	(in 000’s)

Series B	$	95,000		3,800	$	25		7.45	%		8/31/09	8/31/13 into Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of the Trust

Series E	$	20,000		400	$	50		7.00	%		6/16/10	6/16/15 into Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of the Trust

Series F	$	50,000		1,000	$	50		6.65	%		6/30/10	12/12/15 into Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of the Trust

Series G	$	27,000		540	$	50		6.70	%		12/15/11	12/15/16 into Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of the Trust

Series H	$	100,000		4,000	$	25		7.40	%		8/21/12	8/21/17 into Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of the Trust

The Preferred Units are callable at the Operating Partnership’s option after a stated period of time. The Trust as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership may at its option elect to settle the redemption for cash or through the exchange on a one-for-one basis with unregistered preferred shares of the Trust.

Note 5: Indebtedness

Senior Notes

In March 2011, the Company used proceeds from its unsecured credit facility together with available cash on hand to repay $246.5 million principal value of 7.25% senior notes.

Note 6: Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the following estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized on disposition of the financial instruments at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest, dividend and distributions payable and other liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was greater than the aggregate carrying value by approximately $165.1 million and $189.0 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated using actual trading prices (where available) and using discounted cash flow analysis based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities where actual trading prices are not available.

Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Although as of the date of this report, management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since June 30, 2011 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

Note 7: Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Matters

Substantially all of the Properties and land were subject to Phase I Environmental Assessments and when appropriate Phase II Environmental Assessments (collectively, the “Environmental Assessments”) obtained in contemplation of their acquisition by the Company. The Environmental Assessments did not reveal, nor is the Company aware of, any non-compliance with environmental laws, environmental liability or other environmental claim that the Company believes would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Operating Ground Lease Agreements

Future minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancelable operating ground leases under which the Company is the lessee, as of June 30, 2011, were as follows (in thousands):


Year	Amount
2011	$	127
2012		235
2013		238
2014		233
2015		227
2016 through 2070		9,565


Total	$	10,625

Operating ground lease expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $104,000 and $234,000, respectively, as compared to $203,000 and $388,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2010.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is a party to a variety of legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the normal course of business. The Company believes that as of June 30, 2011 there were no legal proceedings, claims or assessments expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial statements.

Other

The Company is obligated to make additional capital contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures of $4.2 million. The Company has other miscellaneous guarantees related to its unconsolidated joint ventures for up to a maximum of $701,000.

The Company has letter of credit obligations of $934,000 related to development requirements. The Company believes that it is remote that there will be a draw upon these letter of credit obligations.

The Company has started the development, on a speculative basis, of two industrial-flex buildings and has signed leases (one of which is subject to certain approvals) committing it to the development of two 100% leased metro office buildings. The industrial-flex buildings are expected to contain a total of 103,000 square feet of leasable space and represent an anticipated aggregate investment of $15 million. The office buildings are expected to contain a total of 360,000 square feet of leasable space and represent an anticipated aggregate investment of $130 million.

The Company is obligated to pay tenants for allowances for tenant improvements not yet completed for a maximum of $40.8 million.

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions. The combined account balances at each institution typically exceed FDIC insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company believes the risk is not significant.

Note 8: Supplemental Disclosure to Statements of Cash Flows

Liberty Property Trust (the “Trust”) is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (a “REIT”). Substantially all of the Trust’s assets are owned directly or indirectly, and substantially all of the Trust’s operations are conducted directly or indirectly, by Liberty Property Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and, collectively with the Trust and their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”). The Trust is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, owning 96.7% of the common equity of the Operating Partnership at June 30, 2011. The Company provides leasing, property management, development, acquisition and other tenant-related services for a portfolio of industrial and office properties which are located principally within the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, Midwestern and Southwestern United States and the United Kingdom.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Trust and the Operating Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2010. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Note 4: Limited partners’ equity

Common units

General and limited partners’ equity – common units relates to limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership issued in connection with the formation of the Company and certain subsequent acquisitions. The common units outstanding as of June 30, 2011 have the same economic characteristics as common shares of the Trust. The 3,902,065 outstanding common units are the limited partners’ equity - common units held by persons and entities other than Liberty Property Trust, the general partner of Liberty Property Limited Partnership, which holds a number of common units equal to the number of outstanding common shares of beneficial interest. Both the common units held by Liberty Property Trust and the common units held by persons and entities other than Liberty Property Trust are counted in the weighted average number of common units outstanding during any given period. The 3,902,065 outstanding common units share proportionately in the net income or loss and in any distributions of the Operating Partnership and are exchangeable into the same number of common shares of the Trust. The market value of the 3,902,065 outstanding common units at June 30, 2011 based on the closing price of the common shares of the Company at June 30, 2011 was $127.1 million.

Preferred units

The Company has outstanding the following cumulative redeemable preferred units of the Operating Partnership (the “Preferred Units”):

With respect to its Properties in Operation, the Company endeavors to maintain high occupancy levels while increasing rental rates and controlling costs. The Company pursues development opportunities that it believes will create value and yield acceptable returns. The Company also acquires properties that it believes will create long-term value, and disposes of properties that no longer fit within the Company’s strategic objectives or in situations where it can optimize cash proceeds. The Company’s strategy with respect to product and market selection is expected generally to favor metro-office, multi-tenant industrial and industrial-flex properties and markets with strong demographic and economic fundamentals. Consistant with the Company’s strategy the Company intends to reduce its ownership of suburban office properties.

The Company’s operating results depend primarily upon income from rental operations and are substantially influenced by rental demand for the Properties in Operation. The recent economic disruption continues to adversely impact the Company’s business. Although we have seen some improvement in the general economy, the economy as it impacts our business has not returned to pre-recession levels. Rental demand for the Properties in Operation remained relatively flat for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company successfully leased 3.4 million square feet and attained occupancy of 90.6% for the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation and 84.8% for the JV Properties in Operation for a combined occupancy of 89.5% for the Properties in Operation as of that date. The current level of rental demand for properties was reflected in a decline during the three months ended June 30, 2011 of straight line rents on renewal and replacement leases of 6.0%. At December 31, 2010, occupancy for the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation was 89.9% and for the JV Properties in Operation was 83.0% for a combined occupancy for the Properties in Operation of 88.7%.

Net cash provided by operating activities less customary tenant improvement and leasing transaction costs was in excess of dividend distributions for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The Company anticipates that there will be a shortfall for the third and fourth quarters of 2011 and that this shortfall situation will persist through the first half of 2012. The Company believes that net cash supplied by future acquisitions and development opportunities and increases in occupancy and rental rates will offset this shortfall in the second half of 2012. The Company will continue to evaluate these circumstances opposite its distribution policies.

WHOLLY OWNED CAPITAL ACTIVITY

Acquisitions

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company acquired two industrial properties for a Total Investment of $41.1 million. These properties, which contain 714,000 square feet of leasable space, were 24.9% leased as of June 30, 2011. For 2011, the Company anticipates that wholly owned property acquisitions will range from $100 million to $200 million and believes that certain of its acquired properties will be either vacant or underleased.

Dispositions

Disposition activity allows the Company to, among other things, (1) reduce its holdings in certain markets and product types within a market; (2) lower the average age of the portfolio; (3) optimize the cash proceeds from the sale of certain assets; and (4) obtain funds for investment activities. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company realized proceeds of $266.0 million from the sale of 51 operating properties representing 3.1 million square feet. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company realized proceeds of $269.7 million from the sale of 52 operating properties representing 3.1 million square feet. For 2011, the Company anticipates that wholly owned property dispositions will range from $300 million to $400 million.

Development

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company did not bring any Wholly Owned Properties under Development into service and did not initiate any real estate development. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 the Company did not bring any Wholly Owned Properties under Development into service and initiated $95.8 million in real estate development. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had three Wholly Owned Properties under Development with a projected Total Investment of $95.8 million. The Company does not anticipate any development deliveries in 2011. The Company continues to pursue development opportunities.

“Total Investment” for a property is defined as the property’s purchase price plus closing costs (in the case of acquisitions if vacant) and management’s estimate, as determined at the time of acquisition, of the cost of necessary building improvements in the case of acquisitions, or land costs and land and building improvement costs in the case of development projects, and, where appropriate, other development costs and carrying costs.

JOINT VENTURE CAPITAL ACTIVITY

The Company periodically enters into joint venture relationships in connection with the execution of its real estate operating strategy.

Acquisitions

During the six months June 30, 2011, none of the unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company held an interest acquired any properties. The Company does not anticipate that any joint ventures in which the Company holds an interest will acquire any properties in 2011.

Dispositions

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, a joint venture in which the Company holds a 25% interest realized proceeds of $8.4 million from the sale of one property, which contained 231,000 square feet of leaseable space. In addition, a joint venture in which the Company holds a 20% interest realized proceeds of $7.5 million from the sale of one property which contained 22,000 square feet of leaseable space. Also, a joint venture in which the Company holds a 50% interest realized proceeds of $9.6 million from the sale of five acres of land. The Company does not anticipate that any joint ventures in which the Company holds an interest will dispose of any additional properties in 2011.

Development

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, none of the unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company held an interest brought any properties into service or began any development activities. The Company does not anticipate that any joint ventures in which the Company holds an interest will bring any development properties into service or begin any development activities in 2011.

Forward-Looking Statements

When used throughout this report, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates” and “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements indicate that assumptions have been used that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual financial results or management plans and objectives to differ materially from those projected or expressed herein, including: the effect of global, national and regional economic conditions; rental demand; the Company’s ability to identify, and enter into agreements with suitable joint venture partners in situations where it believes such arrangements are advantageous; the Company’s ability to identify and secure additional properties and sites, both for itself and the joint ventures to which it is a party, that meet its criteria for acquisition or development; the effect of prevailing market interest rates; risks related to the integration of the operations of entities that we have acquired or may acquire; risks related to litigation; and other risks described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for a discussion of critical accounting policies which include capitalized costs, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of real estate, intangibles and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, there were no material changes to these policies.

Results of Operations

The following discussion is based on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. It compares the results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 with the results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. As a result of the varying levels of development, acquisition and disposition activities by the Company in 2011 and 2010, the overall operating results of the Company during such periods are not directly comparable. However, certain data, including the Same Store comparison, do lend themselves to direct comparison.

This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report.

Comparison of Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

Overview

The Company’s average gross investment in operating real estate owned for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased to $5,043.9 million from $4,898.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This increase in operating real estate resulted in increases in rental revenue, operating expense reimbursement, rental property expense and depreciation and amortization expense. Despite the increase in operating real estate, real estate taxes decreased due to favorable tax reassessments on certain of the Company’s properties. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company’s average gross investment in operating real estate owned increased to $5,032.3 million from $4,863.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This increase in operating real estate resulted in increases in rental revenue, operating expense reimbursement, and depreciation and amortization expense. Despite the increase in operating real estate, rental property expenses decreased due to the reduction of certain rental property expense items. Real estate taxes also decreased due to the favorable tax reassessments noted above.

Total operating revenue increased to $174.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $172.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The $2.3 million increase was primarily due to increased reimbursements for operating expenses, the increase in average gross investment in operating real estate and an increase in termination fees, which totaled $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2010. Total operating revenue increased to $351.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $348.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The $3.0 million increase was primarily due to increased reimbursements for operating expenses and the increase in average gross investment in operating real estate. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in termination fees, which totaled $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2010. Termination Fees are fees that the Company agrees to accept in consideration for permitting certain tenants to terminate their leases prior to the contractual expiration date. Termination Fees are included in rental revenue and if a property is sold, related termination fees are included in discontinued operations. See “Other,” below.

Segments

The Company evaluates the performance of the Wholly Owned Properties in Operation in terms of property level operating income by reportable segment (see Note 2 to the Company’s financial statements for a reconciliation of this measure to net income). The following table identifies changes in reportable segments (dollars in thousands):

Property Level Operating Income:


	THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,				PERCENTAGE INCREASE (DECREASE)			SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,				PERCENTAGE INCREASE (DECREASE)

(1)	The change was primarily due to increases in occupancy, rental rates, and average gross investment in operating real estate.

Same Store

Property level operating income, exclusive of Termination Fees, for the Same Store properties increased to $119.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $117.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, on a straight line basis (which recognizes rental revenue evenly over the life of the lease), and increased to $117.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $114.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 on a cash basis. These increases of 0.9% and 2.8%, respectively, were primarily due to reductions in certain operating expense items and due to increases in occupancy.

Property level operating income, exclusive of Termination Fees, for the Same Store properties increased to $237.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $233.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, on a straight line basis (which recognizes rental revenue evenly over the life of the lease), and increased to $234.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $226.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 on a cash basis. These increases of 1.6% and 3.6%, respectively, were primarily due to reductions in certain operating expense items and due to increases in occupancy.

Management generally considers the performance of the Same Store properties to be a useful financial performance measure because the results are directly comparable from period to period. Management further believes that the performance comparison should exclude Termination Fees since they are more event-specific and are not representative of ordinary performance results. In addition, Same Store property level operating income and Same Store cash basis property level operating income exclusive of Termination Fees is considered by management to be a more reliable indicator of the portfolio’s baseline performance. The Same Store properties consist of the 578 properties totaling approximately 60.6 million square feet owned on January 1, 2010, excluding properties sold through June 30, 2011.

Set forth below is a schedule comparing the property level operating income, on a straight line basis and on a cash basis, for the Same Store properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Same Store property level operating income and cash basis property level operating income are non-GAAP measures and do not represent income before property dispositions, income taxes and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures because they do not reflect the consolidated operations of the Company. Investors should review Same Store results, along with Funds from operations (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section), GAAP net income and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities when considering the Company’s operating performance. Also set forth below is a reconciliation of Same Store property level operating income and cash basis property level operating income to net income (in thousands).

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased to $13.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $12.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and increased to $29.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $27.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. These increases for the three-month and six-month periods were primarily due to increases in personnel costs and increases in acquisition-related expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased to $41.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $39.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $83.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $79.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. These increases were primarily due to the increased investment in operating real estate.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to $31.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $36.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the average debt outstanding to $2,203.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $2,297.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as well as a decrease in the weighted average interest rate to 5.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 6.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was also partially due to an increase in interest capitalized during the three months ended June 30, 2011 due to an increase in development activity. Interest expense decreased to $65.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $72.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily related to decrease in the average debt outstanding to $2,255.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $2,350.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as well as a decrease in the weighted average interest rate to 5.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 6.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was also partially due to an increase in interest capitalized during the six months ended June 30, 2011 due to an increase in development activity.

Interest expense allocated to discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $972,000 and $2.8 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $2.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively. These decreases were due to the level of dispositions in 2011 and 2010.

Other

Gain on property dispositions decreased to $302,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and decreased to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Income from discontinued operations increased to $52.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and increased to $55.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase for the three month periods was due to an increase in gains recognized on sales which were $50.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This increase for the six month periods was due to an increase in gains recognized on sales which were $50.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s net income increased to $92.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $40.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and increased to $127.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $75.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

The Company has increased its expected investment in development properties for 2011 and anticipates that it will need approximately $100 million to $150 million to fund this activity. The Company’s remaining 2011 debt maturities total approximately $3 million. The Company anticipates that it will invest $100 million to $200 million in acquisitions in 2011. The Company expects to realize approximately $300 million to $400 million in proceeds from asset sales in 2011. The Company believes that proceeds from asset sales, its available cash, borrowing capacity from its Credit Facility (as defined below) and its other sources of capital including the public debt and equity markets will provide it with sufficient funds to satisfy these obligations. Additionally, the Company expects to incur variable rate debt, including borrowing under the Credit Facility, from time to time.

Activity

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $100.0 million, including $50.2 million in restricted cash.

Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased to $166.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $148.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This $18.7 million increase was primarily due to the fluctuation in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash flow provided by operating activities is the primary source of liquidity to fund distributions to shareholders and for recurring capital expenditures and leasing transaction costs for the Company’s Wholly Owned Properties in Operation.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $112.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $20.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This $133.1 million change primarily resulted from an increase in proceeds from dispositions partially offset by an increase in cash used for acquisitions. In addition, 2011 reflects cash placed in escrow for the purchase of two properties.

Net cash used in financing activities was $339.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $322.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This $17.2 million increase was primarily due to the net changes in the Company’s debt during the respective periods which is reflective of the disposition and acquisition activity described above and the repayment of unsecured notes and mortgage loans. Net cash used in financing activities includes proceeds from the issuance of equity and debt, net of debt repayments, equity repurchases and shareholder distributions.

The Company funds its development activities and acquisitions with long-term capital sources and proceeds from the disposition of properties. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, a portion of these activities were funded through a $500 million Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”). The interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Facility fluctuates based upon ratings from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group and Fitch, Inc. Based on the Company’s present ratings, the interest rate for borrowings under the Credit Facility is LIBOR plus 230 basis points.

Additionally, the Company has entered into an agreement to fund its planned improvements for the Kings Hill Phase 2 land development project. At June 30, 2011, the Company had not drawn any of a £7 million revolving credit facility. The facility expires on November 22, 2011.

The Company uses debt financing to lower its overall cost of capital in an attempt to increase the return to shareholders. The Company staggers its debt maturities and maintains debt levels it considers to be prudent. In determining its debt levels, the Company considers various financial measures including the debt to gross assets ratio and the fixed charge coverage ratio. As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s debt to gross assets ratio was 35.8% and for the six months ended June 30, 2011, the fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.1x. Debt to gross assets equals total long-term debt and borrowings under the Credit Facility divided by total assets plus accumulated depreciation. The fixed charge coverage ratio equals income from continuing operations before property dispositions, including operating activity from discontinued operations, plus interest expense and depreciation and amortization, divided by interest expense, including capitalized interest, plus distributions on preferred units.

As of June 30, 2011, $293.7 million in mortgage loans and $1,792.6 million in unsecured notes were outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 5.85%.

General

The Company has an effective S-3 shelf registration statement on file with the SEC pursuant to which the Trust and the Operating Partnership may issue an unlimited amount of equity securities and debt securities.

Calculation of Funds from Operations

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) has issued a standard definition for Funds from operations (as defined below). The SEC has agreed to the disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure on a per share basis in its Release No. 34-47226, Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The Company believes that the calculation of Funds from operations is helpful to investors and management as it is a measure of the Company’s operating performance that excludes depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions. As a result, year over year comparison of Funds from operations reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, management believes that Funds from operations provides useful information to the investment community about the Company’s financial performance when compared to other REITs since Funds from operations is generally recognized as the standard for reporting the operating performance of a REIT. Funds from operations available to common shareholders is defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Funds from operations available to common shareholders does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate that cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Funds from operations available to common shareholders also does not represent cash flows generated from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP.

Funds from operations (“FFO”) available to common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Inflation

Inflation has remained relatively low in recent years, and as a result, it has not had a significant impact on the Company during this period. However, some believe that the risk of inflation has increased as a result of actions taken by the Federal Reserve System to address the economic disruption of the past period. To the extent an increase in inflation would result in increased operating costs, such as insurance, real estate taxes and utilities, substantially all of the tenants’ leases require the tenants to absorb these costs as part of their rental obligations. In addition, inflation also may have the effect of increasing market rental rates.
