The properties were acquired for cash using funds provided by the Company's revolving line of credit. The costs shown above for each acquisition represent the initial cost at the time of acquisition. The Company believes these acquisitions are consistent with the Company's objective of becoming the preeminent real estate operating company focusing on suburban industrial and office properties in the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic States. Factors considered by the Company in determining the price to be paid for the properties included their historical and expected cash flow, the nature of tenants and terms of leases in place, occupancy rates, opportunities for alternative and new tenancies, current operating costs and real estate taxes on the properties and anticipated changes therein under Company ownership, physical condition and locations of the properties, the anticipated effect to the Company's financial results (particularly funds from operations), the ability to sustain and potentially increase its distributions to Company shareholders, and other factors. The Company took into consideration the capitalization rates at which it believed other comparable buildings were recently sold, but determined the price it was willing to pay primarily on factors discussed above relating to the properties themselves and their fit into the Company's operations. The Company, after investigation of the properties, is not aware of any material fact other than those enumerated above, that would cause the financial information reported not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results. -4- ITEM 7: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS - ------------------------------------------ PAGE ----- (a) Combined Statement of Operating Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses of the Section A Properties Report of Independent Auditors........................ 6 Combined Statement of Operating Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses for the Section A Properties for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 (unaudited) and for the year ended December 31, 1995.............................................. 7 Notes to Combined Statement of Operating Revenues and 		 Certain Operating Expenses for the Section A Properties for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 (unaudited) and for the year ended December 31, 1995................................. 8-10 (b) Pro Forma Financial Information (unaudited) Liberty Property Trust...................................... 11 Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1996................................ 12 Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.......... 13 Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 1996................................ 14-15 Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1995.................. 16 Notes to Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1995... 17 Liberty Property Limited Partnership........................ 18 Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1996................................ 19 Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.......... 20 Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 1996................................ 21-22 Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1995.................. 23 Notes to Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1995... 24 (c) Exhibits 23.0 Consent of Independent Auditors................ 26 -5- REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS To The Board of Trustees and Shareholders Liberty Property Trust We have audited the accompanying Combined Statement of Operating Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses of the Section A Properties, as defined in Note 1 for the year ended December 31, 1995.
