E[acute accent]2005 Financial Outlook

E[acute accent]Our outlook for the fourth quarter continues to be predicated upon the following key and variable assumptions:

E[acute accent]Based on these key assumptions, we expect the fourth quarter EPS to be $0.11 to $0.12 and expect FFO per share to be $0.61 to $0.62. These estimates may be positively or negatively impacted primarily by the timing and terms of property leases, actual operating expenses Operating expenses

E[acute accent]Our Merger with Prentiss Properties Trust

E[acute accent]On October 3, 2005, we announced the execution of a merger agreement pursuant to which we agreed to acquire Prentiss Properties Trust in a transaction valued at approximately $3.3 billion. As part of the transaction, Prudential Prudential is the name of two different companies and buildings named after them:

E[acute accent]As of the date of this release, we expect our full year 2006 EPS to be $0.54 to $0.62 and FFO per share to be $2.55 to $2.63. The Company's projections are based on several key and variable assumptions and estimates, including the following:

E[acute accent]Same-Store Results

E[acute accent]In 2006, the Company expects its same-store portfolio (which represents 89% of total square footage owned and 80% of projected 2006 net operating income) to achieve the following percentage changes from currently projected 2005 results:
% change 2005 - 2006
                                             --------------------

GAAP rent and reimbursements:                   1.25% - 1.75%
(Not including termination fees)

Expenses:                                       5.5% - 6.0%

NOI:                                            (2.00%) - (0.50%)

Occupancy:                                      0% - 1.0%


E[acute accent]The Company's projections for same-store activity are based upon competitive market conditions and continued pressure on market rents. The Company's projections for operating expenses include continued increases in real estate taxes and energy costs. E[acute accent]The Company's financial outlook for 2006 as presented above takes into account certain lease termination fees that management is currently able to forecast. During the first nine months of 2005 the Company recognized approximately $0.10 of FFO per share on account of lease terminations, settlements, and other similar items.

E[acute accent]Acquisitions, Dispositions, Development

E[acute accent]The Company's stand-alone 2006 outlook assumes a very limited amount of disposition activity. The Company's outlook assumes the completion of all development projects identified in its supplemental disclosure as of September 30, 2005. Accurately forecasting the timing and dollar amount of potential acquisitions is complex and these two variables have a high degree of sensitivity on forecasted results. While the acquisition market remains aggressively priced, we intend to use the financial capacity we have created to take advantage of select opportunities. Targeted acquisitions continue to be a component of the Company's strategy, but the low end of the above guidance does not assume any incremental Additional or increased growth, bulk, quantity, number, or value; enlarged.

In computing computing - computer  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 release. 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.
