Net income (loss) was $(2.6) million for the first quarter, a decrease of $12.0 million, as compared to $9.4 million for the first quarter of 2005. A significant contribution to the change in net income in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to the first quarter of 2005 is the $31.9 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense. This increase is primarily the result of the depreciation/amortization of the tangible and intangible assets Intangible Asset

2006 Financial Outlook

The Company's 2006 financial outlook continues to be predicated upon the following key and variable assumptions:

--The historic Brandywine same-store portfolio to achieve the following percentage changes from 2005 results:
--  GAAP rents and reimbursements (not including termination
            fees) to increase 1.25% to 1.75%

        --  Net operating income to decline 0.5% to 2.0%

        --  Average occupancy to range from unchanged to an increase
            of 1.0%


The Company's expected contribution from the Prentiss acquisition is a result of the following:

--Property level average occupancy Gaining or having physical possession of real property subject to, or in the absence of, legal right or title.

In a fire insurance policy, for example, the term occupancy
 to grow 2.5% to 3.0% from year end 2005 levels and cash rents to decline 3.0% to 7.0% from their previous levels

1. To make stable or steadfast.

2.
 addition to our G&A of $10 million, inclusive of inclusive of
prep.
Taking into consideration or account; including.
 synergies in connection with the merger

In addition to these operating expectations, the Company's financial forecast includes the following key and variable development and acquisition/disposition assumptions:

--Completion of the previously announced development and re-development projects

--Net dispositions of approximately $150-200 million during the balance of 2006

These estimates may be positively or negatively impacted primarily by the timing and terms of property leases, and actual operating expenses Operating expenses

The amount paid for asset maintenance or the cost of doing business, excluding depreciation. Earnings are distributed after operating expenses are deducted.
 and interest rates as compared to our forecast.

Based on these key assumptions, we affirm our guidance from our February February: see month.  23, 2006 press release and expect our full year 2006 EPS to be $(0.05) to $0.03 and FFO per share to be $2.50 to $2.58.

We are introducing second quarter 2006 guidance and expect FFO per share to be $0.58 to $0.60 and EPS to be $(0.06) to $(0.04). These estimates may be positively or negatively impacted primarily by the timing and terms of property leases, and actual operating expenses and interest rates as compared to our forecast.

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.

Cash available for distribution, CAD, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not intended to represent cash flow for the period and is not indicative of cash flow provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP.

Because all companies do not calculate CAD the same way, the presentation of CAD may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
