NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------
MARCH 31, 2003
--------------
1. THE COMPANY
-----------
Brandywine Realty Trust (collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is a
self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (a "REIT")
active in acquiring, developing, redeveloping, leasing and managing office and
industrial properties. As of March 31, 2003, the Company's portfolio included
212 office properties, 27 industrial properties and one mixed-use property
(collectively, the "Properties") that contained an aggregate of 16.3 million net
rentable square feet. The Properties are located in the office and industrial
markets in and surrounding Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Richmond,
Virginia. As of March 31, 2003, the Company also held economic interests in ten
unconsolidated real estate ventures (the "Real Estate Ventures") formed with
third parties to develop commercial properties.
The Company owns its assets and conducts its operations through Brandywine
Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). The Company is the
sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of March 31, 2003, was
entitled to approximately 95.2% of the Operating Partnership's distributions
after distributions by the Operating Partnership to holders of its Series B
Preferred Units (defined below). The Operating Partnership owns a 95% interest
in Brandywine Realty Services Corporation (the "Management Company"), a taxable
REIT subsidiary that, as of March 31, 2003, was performing management and
leasing services for the 43 properties owned by third-parties.
Minority interest is comprised of Class A Units of limited partnership interest
("Class A Units") and Series B Preferred Units of limited partnership interest
("Series B Preferred Units"). The Operating Partnership issued these Units to
persons that contributed assets to the Operating Partnership. The Operating
Partnership is obligated to redeem each Class A Unit, at the request of the
holder, for cash or one Common Share, at the option of the Company. Each Series
B Preferred Unit has a stated value of $50.00 and is convertible, at the option
of the holder, into Class A Units at a conversion price of $28.00. The
conversion price declines to $26.50, if the average trading price of the Common
Shares during the 60-day period ending December 31, 2003 is $23.00 or less. The
Series B Preferred Units bear a cumulative preferred distribution of 7.25% per
annum ($3.625 per unit per annum), subject to an increase in the event quarterly
distributions paid to holders of Common Shares exceed $0.51 per share. Income
allocated to minority interest includes the amount of the Series B Preferred
Unit distribution and the pro rata share of net income of the Operating
Partnership allocated to the Class A Units. As of March 31, 2003, 1,787,436
Class A Units and 1,950,000 Series B Preferred Units were outstanding and held
by third party investors. Minority interest also includes the 5% interest in the
Management Company that is owned by a partnership comprised of two Company
executives.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
------------------------------------------
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the
Company without audit except as to the balance sheet as of December 31, 2002,
which has been prepared from audited data, pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
the Company believes that the included disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary to fairly
present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2003, the results
of its operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, and
its cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 have
been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. For further information,
refer to the Company's consolidated financial statements and footnotes included
in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period
presentation.
6
Use of Estimates
- ----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management makes significant estimates regarding revenue, impairment of
long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts and deferred costs.
Operating Properties
- --------------------
Operating properties are carried at historical cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of operating properties includes
the purchase price or development costs of the properties. Costs incurred for
the acquisition and renovation of the operating properties are capitalized to
the Company's investment in that property. Maintenance and repairs are charged
to expense as incurred.
Depreciation and Amortization
- -----------------------------
The costs of buildings and improvements are depreciated using the straight-line
method based on the following useful lives: buildings and improvements (5 to 40
years) and tenant improvements over the shorter of the lease term or the life of
the asset.
Construction in Progress
- ------------------------
Project costs clearly associated with the development and construction of a real
estate project are capitalized as construction in progress. In addition,
interest, real estate taxes and general and administrative expenses that are
directly associated with the Company's development activities are capitalized
during the period in which activities necessary to get the property ready for
its intended use are in progress. Once the development and construction of the
building shell of a real estate project is completed, the costs capitalized to
construction in progress are transferred to land and buildings. Direct
construction costs totaling $468,000 for the three-month period ended March 31,
2003 and $365,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 and interest
totaling $343,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 and $924,000
for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 were capitalized related to
development of certain Properties and land holdings.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
- -------------------------------
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 ("SFAS
144"), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,
long-lived assets, such as real estate investments and purchased intangibles
subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an
asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is
recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the
fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in
the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value
less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The other assets and
liabilities related to assets classified as held-for-sale are presented
separately in the consolidated balance sheet.
No impairment losses were recorded for the three-month periods ended March 31,
2003 and 2002.
Deferred Costs
- --------------
Costs incurred in connection with property leasing are capitalized as deferred
leasing costs. Deferred leasing costs consist primarily of leasing commissions
that are amortized on the straight-line method over the life of the respective
lease which generally ranges from one to 15 years. Management re-evaluates the
remaining useful lives of leasing costs as economic and market conditions
change. Internal direct leasing costs deferred totaled $951,000 for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2003 and $711,000 for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2002.
7
Revenue Recognition
- -------------------
Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term
regardless of when payments are due. Deferred rental revenue represents rental
revenue received from tenants prior to their due dates. The straight-line rent
adjustment increased revenue by approximately $1.5 million for the three-month
period ended March 31, 2003 and $1.4 million for the three-month period ended
March 31, 2002. Certain lease agreements contain provisions that require tenants
to reimburse a pro rata share of real estate taxes and certain common area
maintenance costs.
Stock-Based Compensation Plans
- ------------------------------
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 148,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure. SFAS 148
amends SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative
methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily adopts the fair value
recognition method of recording stock option expense. SFAS 148 also amends the
disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 and APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial
Reporting, to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting
policies of the effects of an entity's accounting policy with respect to stock
options on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim
financial statements.
Prior to 2002, the Company accounted for stock options issued under the
recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees and Related Interpretations. The following table
illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value
based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each
period (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
- ------------------------------------------------------------
The Company accounts for its derivative instruments and hedging activities under
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and
its corresponding amendments under SFAS No. 138. SFAS 133 requires the Company
to measure every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts) at fair value and record them in the balance sheet
as either an asset or liability. For derivatives designated as fair value
hedges, the changes in fair value of both the derivative instrument and the
hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow
hedges, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative
are reported in other comprehensive income. Changes in fair value of derivative
instruments and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the
current period. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2003, the Company was
not party to any derivative contract designated as a fair value hedge.
The Company recorded a gain of $.5 million in other comprehensive income to
recognize the change in value of derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges
during the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. The unrealized gains/losses
and the transition adjustment recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income
will be reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged items affect
earnings, such as when the forecasted interest payments occur. The Company
expects that $6.4 million of net losses will be reclassified into earnings over
the next twelve months.
8
The Company formally assesses, both at inception of the hedge and on an on-going
basis, whether each derivative is highly-effective in offsetting changes in fair
values or cash flows of the hedged item. If management determines that a
derivative is not highly-effective as a hedge or if a derivative ceases to be a
highly-effective hedge, the Company will discontinue hedge accounting
prospectively.
The Company actively manages its ratio of fixed-to-floating rate debt. To manage
its fixed and floating rate debt in a cost-effective manner, the Company, from
time to time, enters into interest rate swap agreements, in which it agrees to
exchange various combinations of fixed and/or variable interest rates based on
agreed upon notional amounts. As of March 31, 2003, the maximum length of time
until which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future
cash flows is through June 2004. There was no gain or loss reclassified from
accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings during the three-month period
ended March 31, 2003 as a result of the discontinuance of a cash flow hedge due
to the probability of the original forecasted transaction not occurring.
3. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------
2003
- ----
During the first quarter of 2003, the Company sold three units of one office
property containing 28,000 net rentable square feet and one parcel of land
containing 3.1 acres for an aggregate of $3.8 million, realizing a net gain of
$1.7 million.
2002
- ----
During the first quarter of 2002, the Company sold ten office properties
containing 704,000 net rentable square feet and ten industrial properties
containing 602,000 net rentable square feet for an aggregate of $117.9 million,
realizing a net gain of $8.4 million. In addition, the Company purchased four
office properties containing 360,000 net rentable square feet for $67.2 million.
4. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE VENTURES
-------------------------------------------------
As of March 31, 2003, the Company had an aggregate investment of approximately
$14.9 million in ten Real Estate Ventures (net of returns of investment received
by the Company). The Company formed these ventures with unaffiliated third
parties to develop office properties or to acquire land in anticipation of
possible development of office properties. Eight of the Real Estate Ventures own
eight office buildings that contain an aggregate of approximately 1.2 million
net rentable square feet; one Real Estate Venture developed a hotel property
that contains 137 rooms; and one Real Estate Venture holds approximately 3.0
acres of land for future development.
The Company accounts for its non-controlling interests in the Real Estate
Ventures using the equity method. Non-controlling ownership interests generally
range from 6% to 65%, subject to specified priority allocations in certain of
the Real Estate Ventures. The Company's investments, initially recorded at cost,
are subsequently adjusted for the Company's net equity in the ventures' income
or loss and cash contributions and distributions.
The following is a summary of the financial position of the unconsolidated Real
Estate Ventures in which the Company had interests as of March 31, 2003 and
December 31, 2002 (000's):

As of March 31, 2003, the aggregate maturities of non-recourse debt of Real
Estate Ventures payable to third-parties was as follows (000's):
2003 $ 5,988
2004 1,485
2005 37,406
2006 8,452
2007 and thereafter 95,673
--------
$149,004
========
As of March 31, 2003, the Company had guaranteed repayment of approximately $2.0
million of loans for the Real Estate Ventures. The Company also guaranteed a
$16.2 million loan on behalf of a former Real Estate Venture. Payment under the
guaranty, which expires in January 2004, would be required only in the event of
a default on the loan and if and to the extent the collateral for the loan were
insufficient to provide for payment in full of the loan. The Company also
provides customary environmental indemnities in connection with construction and
permanent financing both for its own account and on behalf of its Real Estate
Ventures.
The Company has assessed the investments in Real Estate Ventures using the
guidelines established in Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities, to determine whether using the equity method of
accounting is still appropriate. These Real Estate Ventures have sufficient
total investment equity at risk to permit these entities to finance their
activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties,
including the Company. Further, the equity investment at risk is not greater
than the expected losses of the entity, if any, as of March 31, 2003.
In addition, these entities are not considered variable interest entities
because, in each case, the equity investors as a group, have (i) the ability to
make decisions through voting rights or the terms of the partnership or
operating agreements; (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the
entity, if any; and (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of
the entity, if they occur.
5. INDEBTEDNESS
------------
The Company utilizes credit facility borrowings for general business purposes,
including the acquisition of properties and the repayment of other debt. The
Company maintains a $500 million unsecured credit facility (the "Credit
Facility") that matures in June 2004. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear
interest at LIBOR (LIBOR was 1.30% at March 31, 2003) plus 1.5%, with the spread
over LIBOR subject to reductions from .10% to .25% or increases of .25% based on
the Company's leverage. As of March 31, 2003, the Company had $295.0 million of
borrowings and $13.6 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit
Facility, leaving $191.4 million of unused availability.
The Company also maintains a $100 million term loan. The term loan is unsecured
and matures on July 15, 2005, subject to two extensions of one year each upon
payment of an extension fee and the absence of any defaults at the time of each
extension. There are no scheduled principal payments prior to maturity. The term
loan bears interest at a spread over the one, two, three or six month LIBOR that
varies between 1.05% and 1.90% (1.65% as of March 31, 2003), based on the
Company's leverage ratio. The average interest rate on the Company's term loan
was 3.00% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003.
As of March 31, 2003, the Company had $591.6 million of mortgage notes payable,
secured by 103 of the Properties and certain land holdings. Fixed rate
mortgages, totaling $531.0 million, require payments of principal and/or
interest (or imputed interest) at rates ranging from 6.80% to 9.25% and mature
on dates from July 2003 through July 2027. Variable rate mortgages, totaling
$60.6 million, require payments of principal and/or interest at rates ranging
from LIBOR plus .76% to 1.75% or 75% of prime (prime rate was 4.75% at March 31,
2003) and mature on dates from July 2003 through July 2027. The weighted-average
interest rate on the Company's mortgages was 7.10% for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2003 and 7.35% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002.
The Company has entered into interest rate swap and rate cap agreements
designated as cash flow hedges that are designed to reduce the impact of
interest rate changes on its variable rate debt. At March 31, 2003, the Company
had interest rate swap agreements for notional principal amounts aggregating
$175 million. The swap agreements effectively fix the LIBOR interest rate on
$100 million of Credit Facility borrowings at 4.230% and on $75 million of
Credit Facility borrowings at 4.215%, in each case until June 2004. The
weighted-average interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Facility,
including the effect of cash flow hedges, was 4.60% for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2003 and 5.22% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002.
The interest rate cap agreement effectively limits the interest rate on a
mortgage with a notional value of $28 million at 8.7% until July 2004.
11
The Company paid interest (net of capitalized interest) totaling $14.7 million
during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.
6. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein. This Form
10-Q contains forward-looking statements for purposes of the Securities Act of
1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and as such may involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual
results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different
from results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations
reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable
assumptions, there can be no assurance that these expectations will be realized.
The Company assumes no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking
statements that become untrue because of subsequent events. Factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from management's current expectations
include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic conditions, changes
in local real estate conditions (including changes in rental rates and the
number of competing properties), changes in the economic conditions affecting
industries in which the Company's principal tenants compete, the Company's
failure to lease unoccupied space in accordance with the Company's projections,
the failure of the Company to re-lease occupied space upon expiration of leases,
the bankruptcy of major tenants, changes in prevailing interest rates, the
unavailability of equity and debt financing, unanticipated costs associated with
the acquisition and integration of the Company's acquisitions, costs to complete
and lease-up pending developments, increased costs for, or lack of availability
of, adequate insurance, including for terrorist acts, demand for tenant services
beyond those traditionally provided by landlords, potential liability under
environmental or other laws, the existence of complex regulations relating to
the Company's status as a REIT and to the Company's acquisition, disposition and
development activities, the adverse consequences of the Company's failure to
qualify as a REIT and the other risks identified in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
OVERVIEW
The Company currently manages its portfolio within three segments: (1)
Pennsylvania, (2) New Jersey and (3) Virginia. As of March 31, 2003, the
Company's portfolio consisted of 212 office properties, 27 industrial facilities
and one mixed-use property that contain an aggregate of approximately 16.3
million net rentable square feet. As of March 31, 2003, the Company held
economic interests in ten Real Estate Ventures.
The Company receives income primarily from rental revenue (including tenant
reimbursements) from the Properties and, to a lesser extent, from the management
of properties owned by third parties and from investments in the Real Estate
Ventures.
The Company's financial performance is dependent upon the demand for office and
other commercial space in its markets. Current economic conditions, including
recessionary pressures and capital market volatility, have enhanced the
challenges facing the Company.
In the current economic climate, the Company continues to seek revenue growth
through an increase in occupancy of its portfolio (90.0% at March 31, 2003).
However, with a downturn in general leasing activity, owners of commercial real
estate, including the Company, are experiencing longer periods in which to lease
unoccupied space, and may face higher capital costs and leasing commissions to
achieve targeted tenancies.
As the Company seeks to increase revenues, management also focuses on strategies
to minimize operating risks, including (i) tenant rollover risk, (ii) tenant
credit risk and (iii) development risk.
Tenant Rollover Risk:
- ---------------------
The Company is subject to the risk that, upon expiration, leases may not be
renewed, the space may not be relet, or the terms of renewal or reletting
(including the cost of renovations) may be less favorable than the current lease
terms. Leases totaling approximately 8.1% of the net rentable square feet of the
Properties as of March 31, 2003 expire without penalty through the end of 2003.
In addition, leases totaling approximately 14.6% of the net rentable square feet
of the Properties as of March 31, 2003 are scheduled to expire without penalty
in 2004. The Company maintains an active dialogue with its tenants in an effort
to achieve a high level of lease renewals. The Company's retention rate for
leases that were scheduled to expire in the three-month period ended March 31,
2003 was 70.3%. If the Company is unable to renew leases for a substantial
portion of the space under expiring leases, or promptly relet this space at
anticipated rental rates, the Company's cash flow could be adversely impacted.
15
Tenant Credit Risk:
- -------------------
In the event of a tenant default, the Company may experience delays in enforcing
its rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting its
investment. Management regularly evaluates its accounts receivable reserve
policy in light of its tenant base and general and local economic conditions. To
address the risk of tenant delinquencies and non-payments, the Company has
increased its accounts receivable reserve over the last two years. The accounts
receivable allowances were $4.6 million or 11.7% of total receivables (including
accrued rent receivable) as of March 31, 2003 compared to $4.6 million or 12.5%
of total receivables (including accrued rent receivable) as of December 31,
2002.
Development Risk:
- -----------------
The Company currently has in development one office property and has in
redevelopment two office properties. These three properties aggregate 283,000
square feet. The total cost of these projects is estimated to be $26.2 million
of which $15.1 million was incurred as of March 31, 2003. As of March 31, 2003,
these projects were approximately 42% leased. While the Company is actively
marketing space at these projects to prospective tenants, management cannot
provide assurance as to the timing or terms of any leases of such space. As of
March 31, 2003, the Company owned approximately 435 acres of undeveloped land
and held options to purchase approximately 63 additional acres. Risks associated
with development of this land include construction cost overruns and
construction delays, insufficient occupancy rates and inability to obtain
necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental
approvals.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations discusses the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates
and assumptions on historical experience and current economic conditions. On an
on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions including
those related to revenue, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for
doubtful accounts, deferred costs, contingencies and litigation. Actual results
may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002
contains a discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies. Management
discusses the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates with the
Company's Audit Committee.

Revenue increased to $76.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31,
2003 as compared to $70.3 million for the comparable period in 2002, primarily
due to increased rental rates and additional properties in 2003 partially offset
by decreased occupancy. The straight-line rent adjustment, which reflects the
difference between rents accrued in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and rents billed, increased revenues by $1.5 million for
the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 and $1.3 million for the comparable
period in 2002. Other revenue includes lease termination fees, leasing
commissions, third-party management fees and interest income. Other revenue
decreased to $2.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 as
compared to $2.9 million for the comparable period in 2002 primarily due to
decreased third-party construction income. Revenue for Same Store Properties
increased to $67.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared
to $67.1 million for the comparable period in 2002. This increase was the result
of increased rental rates offset by decreased occupancy in 2003 as compared to
2002. Average occupancy for the Same Store Properties for the three months ended
March 31, 2003 decreased to 90.6% from 92.0% for the comparable period in 2002.
Property operating expenses increased to $21.8 million for the three-month
period ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $18.4 million for the comparable
period in 2002, primarily due to increased snow removal costs and additional
properties in 2003. Property operating expenses included a provision for
doubtful accounts of $422,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 to
provide for increased credit risk. The Company recorded no provision for
doubtful accounts during the three-month period ended March 31, 2003. Property
operating expenses for the Same Store Properties increased to $22.3 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $18.9 million for the
comparable period in 2002 as a result of increased snow removal costs in 2003.
Real estate taxes increased to $6.7 million for the three-month period ended
March 31, 2003 as compared to $5.8 million for the comparable period in 2002,
primarily due to higher tax rates, property assessments and additional
properties in 2003. Real estate taxes for the Same Store Properties increased to
$6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $5.8
million for the comparable period in 2002 as a result of higher tax rates and
property assessments in 2003.
Interest expense decreased to $15.3 million for the three-month period ended
March 31, 2003 as compared to $15.7 million for the comparable period in 2002,
primarily due to decreased interest rates and decreased average borrowings.
Average outstanding debt balances for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were
$995.7 million as compared to $1.0 billion for the comparable period in 2002.
The Company's weighted-average interest rate after giving effect to hedging
activities on unsecured credit facility decreased to 4.60% for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 from 5.22% for the comparable period in 2002. The
weighted-average interest rate on mortgage notes payable decreased to 7.10% for
the three months ended March 31, 2003 from 7.35% for the comparable period in
2002.
Depreciation expense increased to $13.4 million for the three-month period ended
March 31, 2003 as compared to $11.2 million for the comparable period in 2002
primarily due to additional properties in 2003. Amortization expense, related to
deferred leasing costs, increased to $1.6 million for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $1.2 million for the comparable period in
2002, primarily due to increased leasing activity. Administrative expenses
decreased to $3.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003 as
compared to $4.0 million for the comparable period in 2002 primarily due to
decreased professional fees in 2003 as compared to 2002.
18
Equity in income of Real Estate Ventures decreased to $158,000 for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $464,000 for the
comparable period in 2002. During the third quarter of 2002, the Company
acquired the remaining partnership interests in three Real Estate Ventures, and
accordingly, the results attributable to these properties are now consolidated
from the date of acquisition.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2003, the Company sold one parcel
of land containing an aggregate of 3.1 acres for $1.2 million, realizing a net
gain of $1.2 million.
Minority interest from continuing operations represents the equity in income
attributable to the portion of the Operating Partnership not owned by the
Company. Minority interest decreased to $2.3 million for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $2.4 million for the comparable period in
2002, primarily due to the Company's increased ownership percentage in the
Operating Partnership in 2003 as compared to 2002.
Discontinued operations decreased to $.8 million for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $11.6 million for the comparable period in
2002 primarily due to 43 properties sold during 2002. During the three-month
period ended March 31, 2003, the Company sold three units of one office property
containing 28,000 net rentable square feet for $2.6 million, realizing a net
gain of $.6 million.

The Company intends to refinance its mortgage notes payable as they become due
or repay those that are secured by properties being sold. The Company expects to
renegotiate its Credit Facility and Term Loan prior to maturity or extend their
terms.
As of March 31, 2003, the Company's debt-to-market capitalization ratio was
49.1%. As a general policy, the Company intends, but is not obligated, to adhere
to a policy of maintaining a debt-to-market capitalization ratio of no more than
50%.
The Company's Board of Trustees approved a share repurchase program authorizing
the Company to repurchase up to 4,000,000 of its outstanding Common Shares.
Through March 31, 2003, the Company had repurchased 3.2 million of its Common
Shares at an average price of $17.71 per share. Under the share repurchase
program, the Company has the authority to repurchase an additional 834,000
shares. No time limit has been placed on the duration of the share repurchase
program. The following table summarizes the share repurchases during the

Short- and Long-Term Liquidity
The Company believes that its cash flow from operations is adequate to fund its
short-term liquidity requirements. Cash flow from operations is generated
primarily from rental revenues and operating expense reimbursements from tenants
and management services income from providing services to third parties. The
Company intends to use these funds to meet short-term liquidity needs, which are
to fund operating expenses, debt service requirements, recurring capital
expenditures, tenant allowances, leasing commissions and the minimum
distributions required to maintain the Company's REIT qualification under the
Internal Revenue Code.
20
On March 25, 2003, the Company declared a distribution of $0.44 per Common
Share, totaling $15.7 million, which was paid on April 15, 2003 to shareholders
of record as of April 4, 2003. The Operating Partnership simultaneously declared
a $0.44 per unit cash distribution to holders of Class A Units totaling $.8
million.
On March 25, 2003, the Company and the Operating Partnership, respectively, also
declared distributions to holders of Series A Preferred Shares, Series B
Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Units, which are currently entitled to a
preferential return of 7.25%, 8.75% and 7.25%, respectively. Distributions paid
on April 15, 2003 to holders of Series A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred
Shares and Series B Preferred Units totaled $.7 million, $2.3 million and $1.8
million, respectively.
The Company expects to meet its long-term liquidity requirements, such as for
property acquisitions, development, investments in real estate ventures,
scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other significant
capital improvements, through borrowings under its Credit Facility, other
long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of equity securities
and the proceeds from the disposition of selected assets.
Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Funds from Operations (FFO)
FFO is a widely recognized measure of REIT performance. Although FFO is a
non-GAAP financial measure, the Company believes that information regarding FFO
is helpful to shareholders and potential investors. The Company computes FFO in
accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other
REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that
interpret the NAREIT definition differently than the Company. NAREIT defines FFO
as net income (loss) before minority interest of unitholders (preferred and
common) and excluding gains (losses) on sales of depreciable operating property
and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with GAAP); plus real estate
related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred
financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after
adjustment for unconsolidated joint ventures. The GAAP measure that the Company
believes to be most directly comparable to FFO, net income, includes
depreciation and amortization expenses, gains or losses on property sales and
minority interest. In computing FFO, the Company eliminates substantially all of
these items because, in the Company's view, they are not indicative of the
results from the Company's property operations. To facilitate a clear
understanding of the Company's historical operating results, FFO should be
examined in conjunction with net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as
presented in the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating
activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an
alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an
indication of the Company's financial performance or to be an alternative to
cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a
measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for
the Company's cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions to
shareholders.
21
The following table summarizes FFO for the three-month periods ended March 31,
2003 and 2002 (in thousands, except share data):

Inflation
A majority of the Company's leases provide for separate escalations of real
estate taxes and operating expenses either on a triple net basis or over a base
amount. In addition, many of the office leases provide for fixed base rent
increases. The Company believes that inflationary increases in expenses will be
significantly offset by expense reimbursement and contractual rent increases.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates,
commodity prices and equity prices. In pursuing its business plan, the primary
market risk to which the Company is exposed is interest rate risk. Changes in
the general level of interest rates prevailing in the financial markets may
affect the spread between the Company's yield on invested assets and cost of
funds and, in turn, the Company's ability to make distributions or payments to
its shareholders. While the Company has not experienced any significant credit
losses, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or
economic downturn, defaults could increase and result in losses to the Company
which adversely affect its operating results and liquidity.
There have been no material changes in Quantitative and Qualitative disclosures
in 2003 from the disclosures included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. Reference is made to Item 7 included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002
and the caption "Liquidity and Capital Resources" under Item 2 of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's Chief
Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the
effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)) as of a date within 90 days prior to

that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure
that material information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries are made
known to them by others, particularly during the period in which this quarterly
report was being prepared.
22
(b) Changes in Internal Controls. There have been no significant changes in the
Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
these controls subsequent to the Evaluation Date, nor any significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses in such controls.
