Highlight of Business Operations:

In the event of a tenant default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment. Our management regularly evaluates our accounts receivable reserve policy in light of our tenant base and general and local economic conditions. Our accounts receivable allowance was $15.7 million or 12.4% of total receivables (including accrued rent receivable) as of September 30, 2010 compared to $16.4 million or 14.3% of total receivables (including accrued rent receivable) as of December 31, 2009.

At September 30, 2010, we were proceeding on one garage redevelopment with total projected costs of $14.4 million of which $0.8 million remained to be funded. In addition, we are completing the lease-up of six recently completed developments, aggregating 0.9 million square feet, for which we expect to spend an additional $17.3 million in 2010. We are actively marketing space at these projects to prospective tenants but can provide no assurance as to the timing or terms of any leases of space at these projects.

On August 5, 2010, we acquired Three Logan Square in Philadelphia, together with related ground tenancy rights under a long-term ground lease, from BAT Partners, L.P. Three Logan Square contains approximately 1.0 million of net rentable square feet and is currently 66.5% leased. We acquired Three Logan Square for approximately $129.0 million funded through a combination of $51.2 million in cash and 7,111,112 units of its newly-established Class F (2010) Units. The Class F (2010) Units do not accrue a dividend and are not entitled to income or loss allocations prior to the first anniversary of the closing. We funded the cash portion of the acquisition price through an advance under its revolving credit facility and with available corporate funds.

As of September 30, 2010, two of our buildings located in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania were undergoing demolition and the remaining land balances have been presented as land inventory in our consolidated balance sheets. We have determined that there was a change in the estimated useful lives of the properties resulting from the ongoing demolition causing an acceleration of depreciation expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized the remaining depreciation for both properties amounting to $2.7 million with the land values of $1.1 million being reclassified to land inventory for potential future development. All related demolition costs are charged to earnings.
