The reported results are unaudited and there can be no assurance that the results will not vary from the final information for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2005. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of these reported results have been made.
As of December 31, 2005, the Company's portfolio consisted of 121 properties comprising approximately 42.0 million square feet, including three properties under construction and one expansion project totaling 1.1 million square feet. The overall percentage of leased space for the 116 properties in service as of December 31, 2005 was 93.8%.
Significant events of the fourth quarter include:
-
On October 4, 2005, the Company repaid the mortgage loan collateralized
by its Embarcadero Center West Tower property located in San Francisco,
California totaling approximately $90.7 million using approximately
$72.7 million of available cash and $18.0 million drawn under the
Company's Unsecured Line of Credit. There was no prepayment penalty
associated with the repayment.
On November 4, 2005, the Company sold the Residence Inn by Marriott(R),
a 221-room extended-stay hotel property located in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, at a gross sale price of approximately $68.0 million,
less closing costs and a credit of approximately $3.0 million
representing the property-controlled furniture, fixtures and equipment
escrow funds set aside for planned property upgrades.
On November 7, 2005, the Company sold 40-46 Harvard Street, an
industrial property with approximately 152,000 net rentable square feet
located in Westwood, Massachusetts, at a sale price of approximately
$7.8 million.
On December 14, 2005, the Company sold Embarcadero Center West Tower, a
Class A office property with approximately 475,000 net rentable square
feet located in San Francisco, California, at a gross sale price of
approximately $205.8 million, less customary closing costs,
transaction-related expenses and unfunded tenant obligations totaling
approximately $10.6 million.
On December 14, 2005, the joint venture entity that is developing 505
9th Street in Washington, D.C. closed on a collateralized,
construction-to-permanent financing totaling $95.0 million. The
construction financing is comprised of a $60.0 million loan commitment,
which bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.73% per annum, and a $35.0
million loan commitment, which bears interest at a variable rate equal
to LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum. The construction financing converts to
a ten-year fixed rate loan in October 2007, subject to the satisfaction
of certain operating performance and financial measures, at an interest
rate of 5.73% per annum with a provision for an increase in the
borrowing capacity by $35.0 million (which would bring the total
available financing to $130.0 million).
On December 20, 2005, the Company's Value-Added Fund acquired 300
Billerica Road, a 111,000 net rentable square foot office property,
located in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, at a purchase price of
approximately $10.0 million. The acquisition was financed with new
mortgage indebtedness totaling $7.5 million and approximately $2.5
million in cash, of which the Company's share was approximately $0.6
million. The mortgage financing bears interest at a fixed rate of
5.69% per annum and matures on January 1, 2016.
On December 30, 2005, the Company acquired Prospect Place, a Class A
office property with approximately 297,000 net rentable square feet
located in Waltham, Massachusetts, at a purchase price of approximately
$62.8 million. The acquisition was financed with available cash.
Prospect Place is currently 67% leased with an average rental rate that
is below market. The Company projects this property's 2006 Unleveraged
FFO Return to be 4.7% and 2006 Unleveraged Cash Return to be 3.4%.
Assuming the Company leases substantially all of the currently
available space at market rates by 2008 and spends approximately $8.8
million for improvements and leasing commissions, the Company projects
stabilized Unleveraged FFO Return to be 8.7% and stabilized Unleveraged
Cash Return to be 7.9%. The calculation of these returns and related
disclosures are presented on the accompanying table entitled "Projected
2006 & Stabilized Returns on Acquisition." There can be no assurance
that actual returns will not differ materially from these projections.
On December 30, 2005, the Company repaid at maturity the mortgage loan
collateralized by its 601 & 651 Gateway Boulevard properties located in
South San Francisco, California, totaling approximately $85.7 million.
During the fourth quarter 2005, the Company continued its planned
interest rate hedging program. As of December 31, 2005, the Company
had entered into forward-starting interest rate swap contracts which
fix the ten-year treasury rate for financings in early 2007 at a
weighted-average rate of 4.34% per annum on notional amounts
aggregating $500.0 million, which go into effect in February 2007 and
expire in February 2017. The Company entered into the interest rate
swap contracts designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges to reduce
its exposure to the variability in future cash flows attributable to
changes in the Treasury rate in contemplation of obtaining ten-year
fixed-rate financing in early 2007.
-
During January 2006, the Company placed-in-service its Seven Cambridge
Center development project located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Seven
Cambridge Center is a fully-leased, build-to-suit project with
approximately 231,000 square feet of office, research laboratory and
retail space. The Company has leased 100% of the space to the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology for occupancy by its affiliate,
the Eli and Edythe L. Broad Institute. On October 1, 2005, the Company
had placed-in-service the West Garage phase of the project consisting
of parking for approximately 800 cars.
The Company's guidance for the first quarter and full year 2006 for EPS (diluted) and FFO per share (diluted) is set forth and reconciled below.

(1) Pursuant to the revised definition of Funds from Operations adopted by
the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), we calculate Funds from Operations, or
"FFO," by adjusting net income (loss) (computed in accordance with
GAAP, including non-recurring items) for gains (or losses) from sales
of properties, real estate related depreciation and amortization, and
after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. The use of FFO, combined with
the required primary GAAP presentations, has been fundamentally
beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of
REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT
operating results more meaningful. Management generally considers FFO
to be a useful measure for reviewing our comparative operating and
financial performance because, by excluding gains and losses related
to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and
performance of a company's real estate between periods or as compared
to different companies. Our computation of FFO may not be comparable
to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not
define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or
that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently.
In addition to presenting FFO in accordance with the NAREIT
definition, we also disclose FFO after a specific and defined
supplemental adjustment to exclude losses from early extinguishments
of debt associated with the sales of real estate. The adjustment to
exclude losses from early extinguishments of debt results when the
sale of real estate encumbered by debt requires us to pay the
extinguishment costs prior to the debt's stated maturity and to write-
off unamortized loan costs at the date of the extinguishment. Such
costs are excluded from the gains on sales of real estate reported in
accordance with GAAP. However, we view the losses from early
extinguishments of debt associated with the sales of real estate as an
incremental cost of the sale transactions because we extinguished the
debt in connection with the consummation of the sale transactions and
we had no intent to extinguish the debt absent such transactions. We
believe that this supplemental adjustment more appropriately reflects
the results of our operations exclusive of the impact of our sale
transactions.
Although our FFO as adjusted clearly differs from NAREIT's definition
of FFO, and may not be comparable to that of other REITs and real
estate companies, we believe it provides a meaningful supplemental
measure of our operating performance because we believe that, by
excluding the effects of the losses from early extinguishments of debt
associated with the sales of real estate, management and investors are
presented with an indicator of our operating performance that more
closely achieves the objectives of the real estate industry in
presenting FFO.
Neither FFO nor FFO as adjusted should be considered as an alternative
to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of
our performance. Neither FFO nor FFO as adjusted represent cash
generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP
and is not a measure of liquidity or an indicator of our ability to
make cash distributions. We believe that to further understand our
performance, FFO and FFO as adjusted should be compared with our
reported net income and considered in addition to cash flows in
accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial
statements.

(1) Unleveraged FFO Return is determined by dividing the Unleveraged FFO
(based on the projected results for either the year ending December
31, 2006 or stabilized results) by Total Investment. Other real
estate companies may calculate this return differently. Management
believes projected Unleveraged FFO Return is a useful measure in the
real estate industry when determining the appropriate purchase price
for a property or estimating a property's value. When evaluating
acquisition opportunities, management considers, among other factors,
projected Unleveraged FFO Return because it excludes, among other
items, interest expense (which may vary depending on the level of
corporate debt or property-specific debt), as well as depreciation
and amortization expense (which can vary among owners of identical
assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and
useful life estimates). In addition, management considers its cost
of capital and available financing alternatives in making decisions
concerning acquisitions.
(2) Unleveraged Cash Return is determined by dividing the Unleveraged
Cash (based on the projected results for either the year ending
December 31, 2006 or stabilized results) by Total Investment. Other
real estate companies may calculate this return differently.
Management believes that projected Unleveraged Cash Return is also a
useful measure of a property's value when used in addition to
Unleveraged FFO Return because, by eliminating the effect of
straight-lining of rent and the SFAS No. 141 treatment of in-place
above- and below-market leases, it enables an investor to assess the
cash on cash return from the property over the forecasted period.
Management is presenting these projected returns and related
calculations to assist investors in analyzing the Company's recent
acquisition. Management does not intend to present this data for any
other purpose, for any other period or for its other properties, and
is not intending for these measures to otherwise provide information
to investors about the Company's financial condition or results of
operations. The Company does not undertake a duty to update any of
these projections.
