GOVERNMENT PROPERTIES TRUST, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Government Properties Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), have been prepared pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2004 Form 10-K. The accompanying consolidated financial statements highlight significant changes to the Notes included in the 2004 Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the SEC. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) 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 revenues and expense during the reporting periods. Our results for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of our results for any future interim period or for the full fiscal year.

2. Nature of Business and Operations

The Company was incorporated in Michigan in 1998. In January 2004, the Company completed a public offering of its common stock and listed its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange. In connection with this offering, the Company reincorporated in Maryland and changed its name to Government Properties Trust, Inc. The historical operations included in the consolidated financial statements are those of its predecessor company (Gen-Net Lease Income Trust, Inc.). References to the “Company” for periods prior to 2004 refer to Gen-Net Lease Income Trust, Inc. and to Government Properties Trust, Inc. for subsequent periods. The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, beginning in 2003.

The Company began formal operations with its first property acquisition in December 2002 and, as of March 31, 2005, the Company owned thirteen properties located throughout the United States. The Company acquires properties through various operating entities, which are wholly owned by the Company. The Company operates in one segment.

Between October 2002 and August 2003, the Company sold 955,552 shares of its common stock at $10 per share. In January 2004, the Company sold 19.3 million shares of its common stock (the “Offering”) at $10 per share and listed its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange. The Offering raised approximately $177 million in net proceeds.

3. Common Stock and Earnings Per Share

The Company reports earnings per share pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic and diluted loss per share attributable for all periods presented is computed by dividing the loss to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common stock outstanding during the period. The Company had nonvested stock grants of 181,896 and 62,084 shares outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

4. Deferred Costs

Deferred costs consist of the following:

                 
    MARCH 31,     DECEMBER 31,  
    2005     2004  
Financing costs
  $ 2,391,567     $ 1,217,981  
Accumulated amortization
    (391,251 )     (280,825 )
 
           
 
  $ 2,000,316     $ 937,156

5. Equity Incentive Plan

The Company has a 2003 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan, which has 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance thereunder. In connection with the original issuance of shares during the first quarter of 2004, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123”.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for restricted shares issued based upon the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. From the original issuance of shares in the first quarter of 2004 through March 31, 2005, the Company granted 216,243 restricted shares pursuant to the Plan. The fair value of the shares at the time of the grants ranged from $9.70 to $13.90 per share. Of the shares issued, 63,481 shares have vested. The remaining 152,762 restricted shares were outstanding at March 31, 2005 and vest over periods of two to five years. Compensation expense recognized and included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations was $181,074 and $108,751 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. As of March 31, 2005, there are 783,757 shares available for grant under the Plan.

6. Mortgage Notes Payable and Line-of-Credit

Mortgage notes payable and line-of-credit consisted of the following:

                 
    MARCH 31,     DECEMBER 31,  
    2005     2004  
MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE(A),(B)
               
Mortgage notes payable to various financial institutions, collateralized by various properties, interest at fixed rates ranging from 5.13% to 8.23% per annum, with principal and interest payable monthly through 2026. The weighted average interest rate at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was 5.77% and 5.87%, respectively
  $ 129,908,060     $ 77,584,897  
 
           
LINE OF CREDIT
               
Revolving line-of-credit with a financial institution (maximum borrowing $50,000,000 and available through April 27, 2005), interest at the financial institution’s prime rate. There were no advances made on the line-of-credit. Interest, if any, is due monthly. Any advances are secured by a mortgage on the acquired property and are due upon the earlier of permanent financing or termination of the line-of-credit
  $     $  
 
           


(A)   The mortgages notes payable are subject to various operating covenants. In addition, the Company must periodically fund and maintain escrow accounts to fund future real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance and insurance payments, as well as to fund certain tenant releasing costs. These are included in restricted cash escrows.
 
(B)   A portion of the Company’s real estate assets have been pledged as collateral for its mortgage notes payable. The amount of gross assets that have been encumbered is $154,815,486 and $105,174,043 for March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

Total interest paid on the mortgage notes payable was $1,095,036 and $505,096 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Included in the amount paid for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $1,973 incurred and paid to an affiliate.

7. Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments and accounts receivable from tenants. In order to limit credit risk, the Company places its cash and investments in investment-grade short-term instruments with high quality financial institutions. The cash and investment account balances at each financial institution typically exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage.

8. Related Party Transactions

Genesis, the sponsor of the initial public offering by the predecessor company Gen-Net Lease Income Trust, Inc., provided the Company with property acquisition services through January 2005 for a fee of up to 1% of the property purchase price plus up to 2% of the acquisition fee for acquisition related expenses. The Company did not incur any acquisition fees with Genesis for the three

months ended March 31, 2005. The Company incurred and paid acquisition fees of $1,090,486 for the year ended December 31, 2004 which is included in real estate, at cost in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Prior to the January 2004 public offering of common stock, Genesis also provided administration services for a fee of 3% of gross rental revenue and property management services also for a fee of 3% of gross rental revenue. The total amount incurred and paid for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $10,888 in property management fees and $10,237 in administrative fees.

In addition, Genesis owed the Company $310,000 (included in other assets) at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 for previous offering costs pursuant to a conditional agreement between Genesis and the Company. The amount owed is non-interest bearing and is secured by an irrevocable letter of credit which expires on June 30, 2005 unless extended to no later than June 30, 2006.

The value of tenant origination costs are amortized over the remaining term of the respective leases.
 
(B)   Included in the acquisition cost amount is a note receivable from tenant in the amount of $694,293 which the Company assumed with the purchase of this property. The interest on the note receivable is fixed at 8% per annum with principal and interest payable monthly through 2012.

(D)   The federal government has exercised a consolidation option whereby the Company will expand the Parkersburg Property by an additional 102,000 rentable square feet. The cost of the expansion to the Property will total approximately $22.5 million and will be paid over the term of the expansion scheduled for completion in 2006. At March 31, 2005 the Company held $11.1 million of restricted cash escrows to fund, in part, the cost of the expansion. Cost capitalized as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 totaled $1,634,010 and $1,180,523, respectively and is reflected in real estate under development in the accompanying Balance Sheets.
 
(E)   Excluded from the acquisition cost amount is $1.1 million of restricted cash escrows paid by the Company and held pending the final determination of the base rent amount for certain tenants held under signed tenant leases. The final determination of the base rent amount and the receipt of cash held in escrow, if any, are expected to be completed prior to the end of 2005.

10. Issuance and Exercise of Warrant

In connection with providing a line of credit to the Company in 2003, an affiliate of one of the Company’s underwriters in the Offering was issued a warrant to purchase up to 210,000 shares of common stock. The underwriter’s affiliate exercised the warrant and the Company recognized an expense of approximately $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2004.

11. Discontinued Operations

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company reflects the historical operating results of properties sold or held for sale, as well as the gain or loss on sale from these properties, as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for periods prior to their sale. In October 2004, the Company sold the Harahan property for a gain of $313,857, upon receiving sales proceeds of $1,457,223 net of the assumption of the related mortgage note payable of $3,112,770.

13. Subsequent Events

In April 2005, we obtained financing related to the acquisition of our Portland property through a $39.1 million loan from Artesia Mortgage Capital Corporation, which matures on May 11, 2015. The unpaid principal balance of the note bears interest at a rate of 5.49% per annum. Accrued interest only payments are due monthly through November 11, 2006. From December 11, 2006 through November 11, 2013, monthly payments are amortized on a 30-year schedule. From December 11, 2013 through April 11, 2015, monthly payments are amortized on a 25-year schedule, with a balloon payment due May 11, 2015.

In May 2005, the Company acquired the Niagara Center Property located in Buffalo, New York for an approximate purchase price of $70.6 million. The acquisition was acquired with cash. The Niagara Center Property, completed in December 2004, totals approximately 268,000 rentable square feet of office space. The approximately 3.5 acre site will also include, upon the completion of a separate parking garage in September 2005, surface and indoor parking with 638 parking stalls. The Niagara Center Property is currently 86% occupied by multiple federal government agencies.

Also in May 2005, the Company acquired the Social Security Administration Property located at 186 Exchange Street, in Buffalo, New York (the Buffalo SSA Property) for approximately $5.4 million in cash. The Buffalo SSA Property was completed in December 2003. The Buffalo SSA Property totals approximately 35,000 rentable square feet and is 100% occupied by the Social Security Administration, Environmental Protection Agency and the Railroad Retirement Board.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This report contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include estimates regarding:

  •   our estimated general and administrative expense;
 
  •   our risk mitigation strategy;
 
  •   our policy to reserve for operating expenses and capital costs;
 
  •   our distribution policy;
 
  •   our operating expenses;
 
  •   the adequacy of our available capital for future capital requirements;
 
  •   our capital expenditures; and
 
  •   the impact of changes in interest rates.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “intends,” “continues,” or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements also include the assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. The risks included here are not exhaustive, and additional factors could adversely affect our business and financial performance, including factors and risks included in other sections of this report. In addition, we discussed a number of material risks in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Those risks continue to be relevant to our performance and financial condition. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available to us on the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

The following is a discussion of our interim results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and capital resources for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the corresponding periods in 2004. It should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included herein and the 2004 Form 10-K.

OVERVIEW

We primarily invest in single tenant properties under long-term leases to the U.S. government, state governments, local governments, and government-sponsored enterprises. We are a self-managed, self-administered company that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the federal tax laws. We believe that we are the only public company focused solely on investing in government-leased properties. We own each of our properties through separate, wholly owned entities. Our business consists of buying and managing recently built or renovated office properties primarily leased to the federal government, acting through the General Services Administration (“GSA”), under long-term leases. At March 31, 2005, we owned thirteen primarily GSA-leased properties. These properties are 97% occupied. The pace of property acquisitions determines the speed with which capital is invested in real property and that affects operating profit and cash available for distribution. Management has been focused during the reporting period on increasing the pace of acquisitions.

RISK FACTORS WHICH MAY INFLUENCE FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We acquired eight properties for an amount of $123.2 million in 2004 and one property for an amount of $50.0 million in the first quarter of 2005. Net income from the properties we own has been significantly less than the dividends we have paid to date. To

Table of Contents

continue to pay dividends at their current level the Company will be required to use some of the equity capital we raised in its January 2004 Offering for at least the remainder of 2005.

Rent from the U.S. government represented approximately 100% of our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2004. In addition, the U.S. government leased 91% of our total leased square feet of property as of March 31, 2005. Any default by the U.S. government, or its failure to renew its leases with us upon their expiration, could cause interruptions in the receipt of lease revenue or result in vacancies, or both, which would reduce our revenue until the affected property is leased, and could decrease the ultimate value of the affected property upon sale. Further, failure on the part of a tenant to comply with the terms of a lease may cause us to find another tenant. We cannot assure you that we would be able to find another tenant without incurring substantial costs, or at all, or that, if another tenant were found, we would be able to enter into a new lease on favorable terms.

We have had historical accounting losses of $2.7 million and $59,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the three months ended March 31, 2005, respectively. We had an accumulated deficit of $19.2 million, of which $16.0 million was for dividends, as of March 31, 2005. We cannot assure you that we will not have similar losses in the future.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Refer to our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of our critical accounting policies, which include our revenue recognition of related lease agreements, recording of real estate at depreciated cost and allocation of the purchase price of properties we acquire to net tangible and identified intangible assets. During the first three months of 2005, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies.

Comparison of three months ended March 31, 2005 to March 31, 2004

Rental income revenue was $4,324,110 for 2005 and $1,043,993 for 2004. The increase was due to our acquisition of eight additional properties during 2004 and 2005.

Tenant reimbursements revenue was $179,654 for 2005 and $0 for 2004. This amount represents the tenant’s reimbursements for real estate tax expense in excess of the real estate tax base amount as defined in the respective lease agreement. The amount of revenue

Table of Contents

recognized during 2005 represents the real estate tax expense in excess of the real estate base amount for all properties owned as of March 31, 2005.

Property operations expense was $855,002 for 2005 and $247,778 for 2004. The increase was due to the expansion of our operations from four properties owned as of the beginning of 2004 to thirteen properties owned as of March 31, 2005.

Real estate tax expense was $456,204 for 2005 and $148,097 for 2004. The increase was due to the expansion of our operations from four properties owned as of the beginning of 2004 to thirteen properties owned as of March 31, 2005.

Depreciation and amortization was $1,322,217 for 2005 and $280,109 for 2004. The increase was due to the expansion of our operations from four properties owned as of the beginning of 2004 to thirteen properties owned as of March 31, 2005.

General and administrative expense was $1,140,272 for 2005 and $1,030,544 for 2004. The increase was due to the expansion of our operations to become self-managed and to increase our acquisition activity. The increase was primarily due to the increase in our acquisition staff and related activity.

Interest income was $658,193 for 2005 and $243,269 for 2004. The increase was primarily due to an increase in interest rates earned on short-term investments. In addition, a portion of the increase was due to the proceeds raised in the January 2004 Offering were available for investing for the entire three months in 2005 versus only two months in 2004.

Interest expense was $1,337,727 for 2005 and $398,829 for 2004. The increase was due to approximately $105 million of new mortgage debt incurred by us since March 2004.

Amortization of deferred financing fees was $110,426 in 2005 and $3,614 in 2004. The increase was due to the amortization of financing fees being recognized of approximately $71,000 related to the $50 million revolving credit facility obtained in April 2004 and the remaining amount from amortization of financing fees incurred from new mortgages obtained since March 2004.

Income from discontinued operations was $3,871 in 2004. This represents the operating results for our Harahan property which was sold in October 2004.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to acquire properties and to pay for operating expenses, dividends, and other expenditures directly associated with our properties, such as:

  •   acquisition costs, deposits on properties and purchases of properties;
 
  •   recurring maintenance, repairs and other operating expenses necessary to maintain our properties;
 
  •   property taxes, state and local tax assessments, and insurance expenses;
 
  •   interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness;
 
  •   capital expenditures incurred to facilitate the leasing of space at our properties, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions;
 
  •   general and administrative expenses; and
 
  •   future distributions paid to our stockholders.

Historically, we have satisfied our short-term liquidity requirements through our existing working capital and cash provided from borrowings.

The unpaid principal balance of the note bears interest at a rate of 5.13% per annum. Monthly payments are amortized on a 25-year schedule, with a balloon payment due December 11, 2011.

In April 2005, we obtained financing related to the acquisition of our Portland property through a $39.1 million loan from Artesia Mortgage Capital Corporation, which matures on May 11, 2015. The unpaid principal balance of the note bears interest at a rate of 5.49% per annum. Accrued interest only payments are due monthly through November 11, 2006. From December 11, 2006 through November 11, 2013, monthly payments are amortized on a 30-year schedule. From December 11, 2013 through April 11, 2015, monthly payments are amortized on a 25-year schedule, with a balloon payment due May 11, 2015.

The mortgages on our properties and our existing lines of credit contain customary restrictive covenants, including provisions that may limit the borrowing subsidiary’s ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to incur additional indebtedness, further mortgage or transfer the applicable property, purchase or acquire additional property, discontinue insurance coverage, change the conduct of its business or make loans or advances to, enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation with, or acquire the business, assets or equity of, any third party.

We entered into a $50 million revolving credit facility in April 2004 led by First National Bank of Omaha. Outstanding amounts under this facility accrue interest at the floating prime rate, as published by the Wall Street Journal, which will not be lower than 4%. We paid a commitment fee equal to 0.50% of the total commitment and will pay an advance fee of 0.50% of each advance. All amounts provided pursuant to this facility will be due in May 2005. The facility contains customary restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to purchase properties under development or through unconsolidated affiliates. We are also required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of not less than $90 million, a total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio of no more than 4.0 to 1, and a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.2 to 1. We are not allowed to make distributions that exceed the greater of (i) such amount as is required to be distributed as a condition our continued status as a REIT, or (ii) $0.25 per common share per quarter. The proceeds of this facility will be used for short-term acquisition financing for the purchase of federal government-leased properties that have a minimum remaining lease term of 10 years. This facility may also be used to provide deposits for purchase contracts or good faith deposits. No amounts were outstanding under the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

The revolving credit facility was to expire on April, 27, 2005. In April 2005, the Company and First National Bank of Omaha entered into an agreement to extend the expiration of the revolving credit facility through July 27, 2005.

Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for property acquisitions, scheduled debt maturities, renovations, expansions and other non-recurring capital expenditures that need to be made periodically to our properties, the costs associated with acquisitions of properties that we pursue and dividend payments to stockholders. Historically, we have satisfied our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, including our existing working capital, cash provided by operations, sales of equity securities, and long-term mortgage indebtedness. We intend to establish sinking fund reserves, based on independent third-party reports, for future capital expenditures.

Since we became self-managed in January 2004, we have increased cash expenditures for general and administrative expenses, including salaries, directors’ and officers’ insurance, rent, professional fees, public company expense, and other corporate level activity. We estimate that our annualized general and administrative cash expenses for the year ending December 31, 2005 to be in the range of $3.9 million to $4.3 million. The increase in 2005 general and administrative cash expenses as compared to the amount incurred in 2004 is in part due to the expected increase in professional fees to be incurred to be in compliance with Sarbanes Oxley Section 404. The remaining expected increase in 2005 as compared to 2004 is due a full year’s effect of being fully staffed in 2005 as compared to only a portion of 2004. General and administrative cash expenses exclude compensation expense from the issuance of stock grants which amounted to $864,673 for the year ended December 31, 2004.

We believe that our existing cash will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.

Table of Contents

CASH DISTRIBUTION POLICY

We have elected to be treated as a REIT under the federal tax laws commencing as of our taxable year beginning January 1, 2003. To qualify as a REIT, we must, among other things, distribute at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to our stockholders. We intend to comply with these requirements and maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate federal income taxes on taxable income we distribute (in accordance with the federal tax laws and applicable regulations) to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years. Even as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income, i.e., taxable income not distributed in the amounts and in the time frames prescribed by the federal tax laws and applicable regulations thereunder.

We intend to pay to our stockholders, within the time periods prescribed by the federal tax laws (in our case by January 31 of the following year), all or substantially all of our annual taxable income, including gains from the sale of real estate and recognized gains on sale of securities. We will continue our policy of making sufficient cash distributions to stockholders for us maintain REIT status under the federal tax laws and to avoid corporate income and excise tax on undistributed income.

INFLATION

Our GSA leases generally contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. These provisions increase rental rates during the terms of the leases by indexed escalations based on the Consumer Price Index. In addition, our GSA leases generally require the tenant to pay a share of increases in operating expenses and all increases in real estate taxes. This may reduce our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. However, increases in property operating costs above the escalation amount would harm our cash flow and may harm our ability to pay dividends.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

REIT analysts generally consider funds from operations or FFO an alternative measure of performance for an equity REIT. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines funds from operations as net income, computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), excluding gains or losses from sales of properties, but including real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We believe that FFO is helpful to investors as one of several measures of the performance of an equity REIT. We further believe that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs, which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparison of operating performance between periods and between other equity REITs. Investors should review FFO along with GAAP Net Income Available for Common Shares and cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, when evaluating an equity REIT’s operating performance. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than us. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor does it represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments depend upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates.

     Market Risk Related to Fixed-Rate Debt

     As of March 31, 2005, our debt included fixed-rate mortgage notes with a carrying value of $129.9 million. Changes in market interest rates on our fixed-rate debt impacts the fair market value of the debt, but it has no impact on interest incurred or cash flow. The sensitivity analysis related to our fixed debt assumes an immediate 100 basis point move in interest rates from their actual March 31, 2005 levels, with all other variables held constant.

     A 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt by approximately $3.7 million at March 31, 2005. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in an increase in the fair market value of our fixed-rate debt by approximately $4.0 million at March 31, 2005.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our management continues to review our internal controls and procedures and the effectiveness of those controls. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

     Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls during the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

     We completed a registered public offering on January 26, 2004. The SEC declared the registration statement for this offering (Form S-11, file nos. 333-109565 and 333-112219) effective on January 26, 2004. We registered 19,320,000 shares of common stock, including 2,520,000 shares subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, with an aggregate public offering price of $193.2 million. The offering terminated upon its completion. We registered for the public offering through an underwriting syndicate managed by Friedman, Billings, Ramsey & Co., Inc., BB&T Capital Markets, a Division of Scott & Stringfellow, Inc., and Flagstone Securities, LLC. Our expenses for the offering included approximately $13.5 million for underwriting discounts and commissions, $0.7 million for reimbursement of underwriter expenses, $2.0 million for other expenses, for a total of $16.2 million. All of these expenses were paid directly to the recipients and none were paid to any of our officers, directors, ten percent or greater stockholders, or affiliates.

     After payment of the foregoing expenses, we received approximately $177.0 million in net proceeds from the offering. As of May 3, 2005, we had used the proceeds as follows:

     • approximately $5.0 million to repay outstanding indebtedness;

     • approximately $105.2 million, net of related mortgages, to complete acquisitions;

     • approximately $15.5 million for dividend payments.

     The remainder of the net proceeds are temporarily invested in money market investments and will ultimately be used for acquisitions, dividends and working capital.
