EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and BioMed Realty, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership of which BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. is the parent company and general partner. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our” or “our company” refer to BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including BioMed Realty, L.P. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “our operating partnership” or “the operating partnership” refer to BioMed Realty, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. operates as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and the general partner of BioMed Realty, L.P. As of September 30, 2011, BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. owned an approximate 97.8% partnership interest and other limited partners, including some of our directors, executive officers and their affiliates, owned the remaining 2.2% partnership interest (including long term incentive plan units) in BioMed Realty, L.P. As the sole general partner of BioMed Realty, L.P., BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for the operating partnership’s day-to-day management and control.
There are a few differences between our company and our operating partnership, which are reflected in the disclosure in this report. We believe it is important to understand the differences between our company and our operating partnership in the context of how BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. and BioMed Realty, L.P. operate as an interrelated consolidated company. BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of BioMed Realty, L.P. As a result, BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of BioMed Realty, L.P., issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of BioMed Realty, L.P. BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. itself does not hold any indebtedness but guarantees some of the secured and unsecured debt of BioMed Realty, L.P. BioMed Realty, L.P. holds substantially all the assets of the company and holds the ownership interests in the company’s joint ventures. BioMed Realty, L.P. conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., which are generally contributed to BioMed Realty, L.P. in exchange for partnership units, BioMed Realty, L.P. generates the capital required by the company’s business through BioMed Realty, L.P.’s operations, by BioMed Realty, L.P.’s direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of partnership units.
Noncontrolling interests and stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. and those of BioMed Realty, L.P. The operating partnership and long term incentive plan units in BioMed Realty, L.P. that are not owned by BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. are accounted for as partners’ capital in BioMed Realty, L.P.’s financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.’s financial statements. The noncontrolling interests in BioMed Realty, L.P.’s financial statements include the interests of joint venture partners. The noncontrolling interests in BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.’s financial statements include the same noncontrolling interests at the BioMed Realty, L.P. level as well as the limited partnership unitholders of BioMed Realty, L.P., not including BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. The differences between stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from the differences in the equity issued at the BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. and the BioMed Realty, L.P. levels.
We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. and BioMed Realty, L.P. into this single report:
 
better reflects how management and the analyst community view the business as a single operating unit,
 
enhances investor understanding of our company by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management,
 
is more efficient for our company and results in savings in time, effort and expense, and
 
is more efficient for investors by reducing duplicative disclosure and providing a single document for their review.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization of the Parent Company and Description of Business
BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Parent Company”), was incorporated in Maryland on April 30, 2004. On August 11, 2004, the Parent Company commenced operations after completing its initial public offering. The Parent Company operates as a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on acquiring, developing, owning, leasing and managing laboratory and office space for the life science industry principally through its subsidiary, BioMed Realty, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and together with the Parent Company referred to as the “Company”). The Company’s tenants primarily include biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, scientific research institutions, government agencies and other entities involved in the life science industry. The Company’s properties are generally located in markets with well-established reputations as centers for scientific research, including Boston, San Francisco, Maryland, San Diego, New York/New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Seattle.
The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of September 30, 2011, owned a 97.8% interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining 2.2% interest in the Operating Partnership is held by limited partners. Each partner’s percentage interest in the Operating Partnership is determined based on the number of operating partnership units and long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP units” and together with the operating partnership units, the “OP units”) owned as compared to total OP units (and potentially issuable OP units, as applicable) outstanding as of each period end and is used as the basis for the allocation of net income or loss to each partner.

The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited, but have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been recorded. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes therein included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, partnerships and limited liability companies it controls, and variable interest entities for which the Company has determined itself to be the primary beneficiary. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company consolidates entities the Company controls and records a noncontrolling interest for the portions not owned by the Company. Control is determined, where applicable, by the sufficiency of equity invested and the rights of the equity holders, and by the ownership of a majority of the voting interests, with consideration given to the existence of approval or veto rights granted to the minority stockholder. If the minority stockholder holds substantive participating rights, it overcomes the presumption of control by the majority voting interest holder. In contrast, if the minority stockholder simply holds protective rights (such as consent rights over certain actions), it does not overcome the presumption of control by the majority voting interest holder.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest charges) expected to result from the long-lived asset’s use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a long-lived asset, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair-value of the property. The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of its investments in long-lived assets. These assessments have a direct impact on the Company’s net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. Although the Company’s strategy is to hold its properties over the long-term, if the Company’s strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized to reduce the property to the lower of the carrying amount or fair-value, and such loss could be material. As of and through September 30, 2011, no assets have been identified as impaired and no such impairment losses have been recognized.

Deferred leasing costs, acquired above-market leases, acquired below-market leases, and lease incentives are recorded net of accumulated amortization. Accumulated amortization balances consisted of the following (in thousands):

Determination of fair-value is classified as Level 1 in the fair-value hierarchy based on the use of quoted prices in active markets.
The Company’s investments in available-for-sale securities of two publicly traded companies currently have fair market values that are less than the Company’s initial cost basis in these securities due to decreases in their respective stock prices during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company reclassified to other expense from accumulated other comprehensive loss, an unrealized loss, considered to be other than temporary, of approximately $3.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively, relating to its investment in securities of these companies. Management will continue to periodically evaluate whether any investment, the fair-value of which is less than the Company’s initial cost basis, should be considered other-than-temporarily-impaired. If other than temporary impairment is considered to exist, the related unrealized loss will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income and recorded as a reduction of net income.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company sold a portion of its available-for-sale securities, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1.2 million and a realized gain on sale of approximately $865,000 (based on a specific identification of the securities sold), which was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
The Company’s remaining investments consisted of securities in privately-held companies or funds, which are recorded at cost basis due to the Company’s lack of control or significant influence over such companies or funds. The Company invested in equity securities of one privately-held company and one privately-held fund during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. There were no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the carrying value of the Company’s cost basis investments, and, therefore, no evaluation of impairment was performed during the three months ended September 30, 2011 on the Company’s cost basis investments.
Management’s Estimates
Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reporting of revenue and expenses during the reporting period to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
3. Equity of the Parent Company
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Parent Company issued restricted stock awards to the Company’s employees and directors totaling 336,044 and 15,085 shares of common stock, respectively (129,342 shares of common stock were surrendered to the Company and subsequently retired in lieu of cash payments for taxes due on the vesting of restricted stock and 24,465 shares were forfeited during the same period), which are included in the total of common stock outstanding as of the period end.

Common Stock, Operating Partnership Units and LTIP Units
As of September 30, 2011, the Company had outstanding 131,265,102 shares of the Parent Company’s common stock and 2,593,538 and 386,441 operating partnership and LTIP units, respectively. A share of the Parent Company’s common stock and the operating partnership and LTIP units have essentially the same economic characteristics as they share equally in the total net income or loss and distributions of the Operating Partnership.
7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock
As of September 30, 2011, the Company had outstanding 7,920,000 shares of the Parent Company’s 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, or Series A preferred stock. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company completed the repurchase of 1,280,000 shares of the Parent Company’s Series A preferred stock for approximately $31.1 million, or $24.30 per share, net of accrued dividends of approximately $250,000, or $0.20 per share. The repurchase of the Series A preferred stock resulted in the recognition of costs on extinguishment of preferred stock of approximately $165,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 as a result of the difference between the carrying value and the price paid to repurchase the Series A preferred stock.

Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests on the consolidated balance sheets of the Parent Company relate primarily to the OP units in the Operating Partnership that are not owned by the Parent Company. With respect to the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership, noncontrolling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common stock at the option of the issuer are further evaluated to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. Since the OP units comprising the noncontrolling interests contain such a provision, the Company evaluated this guidance, including the requirement to settle in unregistered shares, and determined that the OP units meet the requirements to qualify for presentation as permanent equity.
The Company evaluates individual redeemable noncontrolling interests for the ability to continue to recognize the noncontrolling interest as permanent equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Any redeemable noncontrolling interest that fails to qualify as permanent equity will be reclassified as temporary equity and adjusted to the greater of (1) the carrying amount, or (2) its redemption value as of the end of the period in which the determination is made.
The redemption value of the OP units not owned by the Parent Company, had such units been redeemed at September 30, 2011, was approximately $49.7 million based on the average closing price of the Parent Company’s common stock of $16.69 per share for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding September 30, 2011.

4. Capital of the Operating Partnership
Operating Partnership Units and LTIP Units
As of September 30, 2011, the Operating Partnership had outstanding 133,858,640 operating partnership units and 386,441 LTIP units. The Parent Company owned 97.8% of the partnership interests in the Operating Partnership at September 30, 2011, is the Operating Partnership’s general partner and is responsible for the management of the Operating Partnership’s business. As the general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company effectively controls the ability to issue common stock of the Parent Company upon a limited partner’s notice of redemption. In addition, the general partner of the Operating Partnership has generally acquired OP units upon a limited partner’s notice of redemption in exchange for shares of the Parent Company’s common stock. The redemption provisions of OP units owned by limited partners that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common stock at the option of the issuer are further evaluated in accordance with applicable accounting guidance to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. The Operating Partnership evaluated this guidance, including the requirement to settle in unregistered shares, and determined that these OP units meet the requirements to qualify for presentation as permanent equity.
The redemption value of the OP units owned by the limited partners, not including the Parent Company, had such units been redeemed at September 30, 2011, was approximately $49.7 million based on the average closing price of the Parent Company’s common stock of $16.69 per share for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding September 30, 2011.
5. Debt

Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2030
The exchange rate for the Notes due 2030 may be adjusted under certain circumstances, including the payment of cash dividends in excess of $0.14 per share of common stock. The increase in the quarterly cash dividend from the second quarter of 2010 through the second quarter of 2011 to $0.20 per share of common stock resulted in an increase in the exchange rate of the Notes due 2030 from 55.0782 to 55.6548 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes due 2030, effective as of June 28, 2011, the Company’s ex-dividend date.
Unsecured Senior Notes due 2016, net
On March 30, 2011, the Operating Partnership issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its Notes due 2016. The purchase price paid by the underwriters was 99.365% of the principal amount and the Notes due 2016 have been recorded on the consolidated balance sheet net of the discount. The Notes due 2016 are senior unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and rank equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership. However, the Notes due 2016 are effectively subordinated to the Operating Partnership’s existing and future mortgages and other secured indebtedness (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness) and to all existing and future preferred equity and liabilities, whether secured or unsecured, of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, including guarantees provided by the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries under the Operating Partnership’s unsecured line of credit. Interest at a rate of 3.85% per year is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2011, until the stated maturity date of April 15, 2016. The terms of the Notes due 2016 are governed by a base indenture and supplemental indenture, each dated March 30, 2011, among the Operating Partnership, as issuer, the Parent Company, as guarantor, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.
The Operating Partnership may redeem the Notes due 2016, in whole or in part, at any time for cash at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes due 2016 being redeemed; or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at the adjusted treasury rate plus 30 basis points, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest.
The terms of the indenture for the Notes due 2016 require compliance with various financial covenants, including limits on the amount of total leverage and secured debt maintained by the Operating Partnership and which require the Operating Partnership to maintain minimum levels of debt service coverage. Management believes that it was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2011.
Unsecured Line of Credit
On July 14, 2011, the Operating Partnership entered into an unsecured credit agreement with KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, and certain other lenders. The unsecured credit agreement provides for available borrowings under a revolving line of credit of $750.0 million and a maturity date of July 13, 2015. Subject to the administrative agent’s reasonable discretion, the Operating Partnership may increase the amount of the revolving credit commitments to $1.25 billion upon satisfying certain conditions. In addition, the Operating Partnership, at its sole discretion, may extend the maturity date of the revolving line of credit to July 13, 2016 after satisfying certain conditions and paying an extension fee. The revolving line of credit bears interest at a floating rate equal to, at the Operating Partnership’s option, either (1) reserve adjusted LIBOR plus a spread which ranges from 100 to 205 basis points, depending on the Company’s credit ratings, or (2) the highest of (a) the prime rate then in effect plus a spread which ranges from 0 to 125 basis points, (b) the federal funds rate then in effect plus a spread which ranges from 50 to 175 basis points or (c) one month LIBOR plus a spread which ranges from 100 to 205 basis points, in each case, depending on the Company’s credit ratings. In addition, a facility fee is payable on line capacity at an annual rate depending on the Company’s credit rating, which is currently at 35 basis points.
The unsecured credit agreement includes certain restrictions and covenants which require compliance with financial covenants relating to the minimum amounts of net worth, fixed charge coverage, unsecured debt service coverage, overall leverage and unsecured leverage ratios, the maximum amount of secured indebtedness and certain investment limitations. Management believes that it was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2011. The unsecured credit agreement specifies a number of events of default (some of which are subject to applicable cure periods), including, among others, the failure to make payments when due, noncompliance with covenants and defaults under other agreements or instruments of indebtedness. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may terminate the revolving line of credit and declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

6. Earnings Per Share of the Parent Company
Through September 30, 2011 all of the Company’s participating securities (including the OP units) received dividends/distributions at an equal dividend/distribution rate per share/unit. As a result, the portion of net income allocable to the weighted-average restricted stock outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 has been deducted from net income available to common stockholders to calculate basic earnings per share. The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 includes the outstanding OP units (both vested and unvested) in the weighted-average shares, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership has been added back to net income available to common stockholders. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the restricted stock was anti-dilutive to the calculation of diluted earnings per share and was therefore excluded. As a result, diluted earnings per share was calculated based upon net income available to common stockholders less net income allocable to unvested restricted stock and distributions in excess of earnings attributable to unvested restricted stock. No shares were issuable upon settlement of the excess exchange value pursuant to the exchange settlement feature of the Notes due 2026 as the common stock price at September 30, 2011 and 2010 did not exceed the exchange price then in effect. In addition, shares issuable upon settlement of the exchange feature of the Notes due 2030 were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share based on the “if converted” method for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. No other shares were considered anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.
Computations of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except share data) were as follows:

7. Earnings Per Unit of the Operating Partnership
Through September 30, 2011 all of the Operating Partnership’s participating securities received distributions at an equal distribution rate per unit. As a result, the portion of net income allocable to the weighted-average unvested OP units outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 has been deducted from net income available to unitholders to calculate basic earnings per unit. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 the unvested OP units were anti-dilutive to the calculation of earnings per unit and were therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per unit, and diluted earnings per unit is calculated based upon net income attributable to unitholders. No shares of common stock of the Parent Company were contingently issuable upon settlement of the excess exchange value pursuant to the exchange settlement feature of the Notes due 2026 as the common stock price at September 30, 2011 and 2010 did not exceed the exchange price then in effect. In addition, units issuable upon settlement of the exchange feature of the Notes due 2030 were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per unit based on the “if converted” method for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. No other units were considered anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

(1)  
PREI I LLC owns a portfolio of six properties in Cambridge, Massachusetts comprised of laboratory/office buildings. At September 30, 2011, there were $199.3 million in outstanding borrowings on the PREI joint ventures’ secured acquisition and interim loan facility, with a contractual interest rate of 3.73% (including the applicable credit spread) which matures on February 10, 2012. At maturity, the PREI joint ventures may refinance the secured acquisition and interim loan facility, depending on market conditions and the availability of credit, or they may repay the principal balance through capital contributions of the members. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company’s joint venture with PREI I LLC entered into an agreement with certain lenders to extend the maturity date of its secured construction loan facility, extending the maturity date to August 13, 2013 and decreasing the borrowing capacity to $139.0 million, which required the repayment of approximately $67.0 million by capital contributions of the partners, including the Company’s share of the repayment of approximately $13.4 million. At September 30, 2011, there was $139.0 million in outstanding borrowings on the secured construction loan facility, with a contractual interest rate of 3.23% (including the applicable credit spread).
 
(2)  
The Company’s remaining investment in PREI II LLC (maximum exposure to losses) was approximately $818,000 at September 30, 2011.
 
(3)  
The Company’s investment in the McKellar Court partnership (maximum exposure to losses) was approximately $12.4 million at September 30, 2011. The Company’s economic interest in the McKellar Court partnership entitles it to 75% of the extraordinary cash flows after repayment of the partners’ capital contributions and 22% of the operating cash flows.
The Company acts as the operating member or partner, as applicable, and day-to-day manager for the partnerships. The Company is entitled to receive fees for providing construction and development services (as applicable) and management services to the PREI joint ventures. The Company earned approximately $244,000 and $758,000 in fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and approximately $225,000 and $1.1 million in fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, for services provided to the PREI joint ventures, which are reflected in tenant recoveries and other income in the consolidated statements of income.

9. Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments
As of September 30, 2011, the Company had deferred interest costs of approximately $50.9 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to forward starting swaps, which were settled with the corresponding counterparties in March and April 2009. The forward starting swaps were entered into to mitigate the Company’s exposure to the variability in expected future cash flows attributable to changes in future interest rates associated with a forecasted issuance of fixed-rate debt, with interest payments for a minimum of ten years. The deferred interest costs will be amortized as additional interest expense over a remaining period of approximately eight years.
The following is a summary of the Company’s derivative instruments and their fair-values, which are included in derivative instruments (liability account) or other assets based on their respective balances on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):
                 
    Fair-Value(1)

Fair-value of derivative instruments does not include any related accrued interest payable, which is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair-value hierarchy.
 
(2)  
Two interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $150.0 million expired on August 1, 2011.
 
(3)  
Includes stock purchase warrants that are recorded as derivative instruments and are reflected in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair-value of the stock purchase warrants are included in earnings in the period in which they occur.
For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair-value of the derivative is initially reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings in the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair-value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.

The Company’s use of proceeds from its March 2011 unsecured debt offering to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness on its unsecured line of credit caused the amount of variable-rate indebtedness to fall below the combined notional value of the outstanding interest rate swaps on March 30, 2011, causing the Company to be overhedged. As a result, the Company re-performed tests to assess the effectiveness of its interest rate swaps. Although the interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $150.0 million passed the assessment tests and the $115.0 million swap continued to qualify for hedge accounting, the $35.0 million swap no longer qualified for hedge accounting due to the lack of variable rate debt expected to be outstanding during the remaining term of the swap. From the date that hedge accounting was discontinued on the $35.0 million swap, changes in the fair-value associated with this interest rate swap were recorded directly to earnings, resulting in the recognition of a gain of approximately $12,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which is included as a component of loss on derivative instruments. The Company accelerated the reclassification of amounts deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings related to the hedged forecasted transactions that became probable of not occurring during the period in which the Company was overhedged. This resulted in a cumulative charge to earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of approximately $1.0 million.
During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded total gain on derivative instruments of $64,000 primarily related to the increase in the amount of the variable-rate indebtedness relating to the remaining $150.0 million interest rate swaps (see above) and changes in the fair-value of other derivative instruments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded total loss on derivative instruments of $564,000, primarily related to the reduction in the amount of the variable-rate indebtedness relating to the remaining $150.0 million interest rate swaps (see above), hedge ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges due to mismatches in maturity dates and interest rate reset dates between the interest rate swaps and corresponding debt and changes in the fair-value of other derivative instruments. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded total losses on derivative instruments of $287,000 and $634,000, respectively, primarily related to the discontinuance of hedge accounting for the Company’s former $250.0 million interest rate swap, hedge ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges due to mismatches in maturity dates and interest rate dates between the interest rate swaps and corresponding debt and changes in the fair-value of other derivative instruments.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives will be reclassified to earnings during the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The change in net unrealized (loss)/gain on derivative instruments includes reclassifications of net unrealized losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss as (1) an increase to interest expense of $2.2 million and $8.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $3.5 million and $14.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and (2) a gain on derivative instruments of $64,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a loss on derivative instruments of $564,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and a loss on derivative instruments of $287,000 and $634,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $7.0 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an increase to interest expense. In addition, approximately $41,000 and $236,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and approximately $65,000 and $646,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, of settlement payments on interest rate swaps have been deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss and will be amortized over the useful lives of the related development or redevelopment projects.

10. Fair-Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s disclosures of estimated fair-value of financial instruments at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair-value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair-value amounts.
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, security deposits, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair-value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company utilizes quoted market prices to estimate the fair-value of its fixed-rate and variable-rate debt, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, the Company calculates the fair-value of its mortgage notes payable and other fixed-rate debt based on a currently available market rate assuming the loans are outstanding through maturity and considering the collateral. In determining the current market rate for fixed-rate debt, a market credit spread is added to the quoted yields on federal government treasury securities with similar terms to debt. In determining the current market rate for variable-rate debt, a market credit spread is added to the current effective interest rate. The carrying value of interest rate swaps, as well as the underlying hedged liability, if applicable, are reflected at their fair-value. The Company receives quotations from a third party to use in estimating these fair-values.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. We make statements in this report that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In particular, statements pertaining to our capital resources, portfolio performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods which may be incorrect or imprecise, and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: adverse economic or real estate developments in the life science industry or in our target markets, including the inability of our tenants to obtain funding to run their businesses; reductions in asset valuations and related impairment charges; our dependence upon significant tenants; our failure to obtain necessary outside financing on favorable terms or at all, including the continued availability of our unsecured line of credit; general economic conditions, including downturns in the national and local economies; volatility in financial and securities markets; defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants; our inability to compete effectively; increased interest rates and operating costs; our inability to successfully complete real estate acquisitions, developments and dispositions; risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction; our failure to successfully operate acquired properties and operations; the loss of services of one or more of our executive officers; our failure to qualify or continue to qualify as a REIT; failure to maintain our investment grade credit ratings with the rating agencies; government approvals, actions and initiatives, including the need for compliance with environmental requirements; the effects of earthquakes and other natural disasters; lack of or insufficient amounts of insurance; and changes in real estate, zoning and other laws and increases in real property tax rates.

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, 2010. 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.
Overview
We operate as a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT focused on acquiring, developing, owning, leasing and managing laboratory and office space for the life science industry. Our tenants primarily include biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, scientific research institutions, government agencies and other entities involved in the life science industry. Our properties are generally located in markets with well-established reputations as centers for scientific research, including Boston, San Francisco, Maryland, San Diego, New York/New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Seattle.
At September 30, 2011, we owned or had interests in a portfolio with an aggregate of approximately 12.3 million rentable square feet.
The following reflects the classification of our properties between stabilized properties (operating properties in which more than 90% of the rentable square footage is under lease), lease up (operating properties in which less than 90% of the rentable square footage is under lease), long-term lease up (our Pacific Industrial Center, Pacific Research Center North and Pacific Research Center South properties), redevelopment (properties that are currently being prepared for their intended use), development (properties that are currently under development through ground up construction) and development potential (representing management’s estimates of rentable square footage if development of these properties was undertaken) at September 30, 2011:

Acquisitions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we acquired 265,000 rentable square feet of laboratory and office space, which was 100.0% leased at acquisition, and undeveloped land which we estimate can support up to approximately 696,000 rentable square feet of laboratory and office space, for $40.5 million:

Subsequent to quarter end, we anticipate paying $2.9 million for an additional 19,470 square feet of development potential, bringing our aggregate investment to approximately $8.0 million for approximately 53,000 square feet of development potential.
Factors Which May Influence Future Operations
Our long-term corporate strategy is to focus on acquiring, developing, owning, leasing and managing laboratory and office space for the life science industry. As of September 30, 2011, our current operating portfolio was 90.8% leased on a weighted average basis to 150 tenants. As of December 31, 2010, our current operating portfolio was 88.6% leased on a weighted average basis to 149 tenants. The increase in the overall leased percentage was due to an increase in leased square feet related to increased leasing activity and a decrease in the total rentable square feet in our current operating portfolio due to the placement of one property into the redevelopment portfolio.
Leases representing less than 0.1% of our leased square footage expire during the fourth quarter of 2011 and leases representing 4.9% of our leased square footage expire during 2012. Our leasing strategy for 2011 focuses on leasing vacant space, negotiating renewals for leases scheduled to expire during the year, and identifying new tenants or existing tenants seeking additional space to occupy the spaces for which we are unable to negotiate such renewals. We may proceed with additional new developments and acquisitions, as real estate and capital market conditions permit.
As a direct result of the recent economic recession, we believe that the fair-values of some of our properties may have declined below their respective carrying values. However, to the extent that a property has a substantial remaining estimated useful life and management does not believe that the property will be disposed of prior to the end of its useful life, it would be unusual for undiscounted cash flows to be insufficient to recover the property’s carrying value. We presently have the ability and intent to continue to own and operate our existing portfolio of properties and estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the operation of the properties are expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying value of each property. Accordingly, we do not believe that the carrying value of any of our properties is impaired. If our ability and/or our intent with regard to the operation of our properties otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized to reduce the property to the lower of the carrying amount or fair-value less costs to sell, and such loss could be material.
A discussion of additional factors which may influence future operations can be found below under Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Rental Revenues. Rental revenues increased $10.8 million to $83.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $73.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to properties acquired in 2010, and the commencement of leases.
Tenant Recoveries. Revenues from tenant reimbursements increased $4.0 million to $26.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $22.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to properties acquired in 2010, the commencement of new leases, and higher rental operations expenses. Same property tenant recoveries increased $1.5 million, or 6.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 primarily as a result of the commencement of new leases and higher rental operations expenses.
The percentage of recoverable expenses recovered at our properties increased to 78.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 77.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to properties acquired in 2010 and the commencement of new leases.
Other Income. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded approximately $4.1 million in lease termination income related to an early lease termination at one of our properties. See a further description of this lease termination below. In addition to the lease termination income, we also recorded a lease settlement with another former tenant for approximately $400,000. Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 primarily comprised development fees earned from our PREI joint ventures. Termination payments received for terminated leases for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 aggregated $4.4 million and $14,000, respectively.

Rental Operations Expense. Rental operations expense increased $3.2 million to $23.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $20.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to properties acquired in 2010 and increases in same property rental operations expense. Same property rental operations expense increased $2.1 million, or 11.5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 2010 primarily due to the commencement of new leases, higher bad debt expense and higher utility costs.
For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded bad debt expense of $1.3 million as compared to net bad debt recoveries of $145,000 for three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in bad debt expense related to amounts considered uncollectible as a result of a lease termination discussed below during the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the recovery of a previously recorded allowance in 2010.
Real Estate Tax Expense. Real estate tax expense increased $1.5 million to $10.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to properties acquired in 2010.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $8.5 million to $36.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $27.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to properties acquired in 2010.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $900,000 to $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in aggregate compensation costs due to higher headcount as compared to the prior year.
Acquisition Related Expenses. Acquisition related expenses decreased to $136,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $420,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in acquisition activities in 2011 as compared to the prior year.
Equity in Net Loss of Unconsolidated Partnerships. Equity in net loss of unconsolidated partnerships increased $427,000 to $735,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $308,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increased loss primarily reflects the commencement of depreciation and ceasing of interest capitalization on a vacant property that was under development in 2010 being placed into service.
Interest Expense. Interest cost incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $25.0 million compared to $22.8 million for three months ended September 30, 2010. Total interest cost incurred increased primarily as a result of the issuance of our Notes due 2016 in March 2011 and increases in the average interest rate on our outstanding borrowings due to the issuance of new fixed-rate indebtedness with a higher interest rate than the variable-rate indebtedness it replaced, partially offset by the expiration of derivative instruments and repayment of certain mortgage notes payable. Interest expense increased $1.4 million to $23.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $21.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Interest expense increased primarily as the result of the increase in interest cost incurred partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest.

  $ 22,958     $ 21,589  
 
           
Other Expense. Other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 of $3.8 million related to the reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive loss of an unrealized loss, considered to be other-than-temporary, related to investments in available-for-sale securities in two publicly traded companies. See the lease termination section below for further discussion.
Gain/(Loss) on Derivative Instruments. The gain on derivative instruments for the three months ended September 30, 2011 of $64,000 was primarily related to an increase in our variable-rate indebtedness during the period resulting in other comprehensive income being reclassified to the consolidated income statement due to mismatches in forecasted transactions on interest rate swaps. The loss on derivative instruments for the three months ended September 30, 2010 of $287,000 was primarily related to a reduction in our variable-rate indebtedness during the period, resulting in other comprehensive loss being reclassified to the consolidated income statement due to mismatches in forecasted transactions on interest rate swaps.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we voluntarily prepaid in full the outstanding 7.95% mortgage note totaling approximately $17.5 million pertaining to the 9865 Towne Centre Drive property, prior to its maturity date. The prepayment resulted in the recognition of a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $521,000 (representing a prepayment penalty and the write-off of deferred loan fees). During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we repurchased $2.1 million face value of our Notes due 2026 at 100.3% of par. The repurchase resulted in the recognition of a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $22,000 (representing the write-off of deferred loan fees and unamortized debt discount).
Lease termination. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded approximately $4.1 million in lease termination income, which has been recorded as other income, related to an early lease termination at one of our properties. Consideration was in the form of marketable equity securities received from the former tenant and the recognition of previously deferred rental income related to the property. As a result of this lease termination, bad debt expense of approximately $1.0 million was recorded and the amortization of certain intangibles was accelerated resulting in an additional depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $700,000. The net impact of this lease termination for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased net income by approximately $2.4 million. In addition, as described above, other expense includes an unrealized loss, considered to be other-than-temporary, related to investments in marketable securities of which approximately $3.6 million relates to an investment in the former tenant received in connection with a restructuring of the now terminated lease in a prior quarter. The net effect of all these transactions for the three months ended September 30, 2011 reduced net income by $1.2 million.
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
The following table sets forth the basis for presenting the historical financial information for same properties (all properties except redevelopment/development and new properties), redevelopment/development properties (properties that were entirely or primarily under redevelopment or development during either of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010), new properties (properties that were not owned for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and were not under redevelopment/development), and corporate entities (legal entities performing general and administrative functions and fees received from our PREI joint ventures), in thousands:

Rental Revenues. Rental revenues increased $29.5 million to $245.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $216.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to properties acquired in 2010. Same property rental revenues decreased $2.8 million, or 1.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in same property rental revenues was primarily due to decreases in lease rates related to lease extensions at certain properties (which had the effect of decreasing rental revenue recognized on a straight-line basis), lease expirations, and the full amortization of below-market intangible assets in 2010, partially offset by the commencement of new leases in 2011 and 2010.
Tenant Recoveries. Revenues from tenant reimbursements increased $12.3 million to $76.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $63.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to properties acquired in 2010, the commencement of new leases, and higher rental operations expenses. Same property tenant recoveries increased $4.4 million, or 7.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 primarily as a result of the commencement of new leases and higher rental operations expenses.
The percentage of recoverable expenses recovered at our properties increased to 78.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 78.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in the recovery percentage in the current period is primarily due to properties acquired in 2010 and the commencement of new leases.

Other Income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded approximately $4.1 million in lease termination income related to an early lease termination at one of our properties. See a further description of this lease termination below. In addition to the lease termination income, we also recorded a lease settlement with another former tenant for approximately $400,000. Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily comprised realized gains from the sale of equity investments of $865,000 and development fees earned from our PREI joint ventures. Termination payments received for terminated leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 aggregated $5.3 million and $86,000, respectively.

Rental Operations Expense. Rental operations expense increased $10.0 million to $64.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $54.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to properties acquired in 2010 and increases in same property rental operations expense. Same property rental operations expense increased $5.5 million, or 10.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 2010 primarily due to the commencement of new leases, higher bad debt expense and higher utility costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $2.2 million and $108,000, respectively. The increase in bad debt expense related to increased amounts considered uncollectible as a result of a lease termination (see discussion of this lease termination below), expected nonpayment and renegotiation of unpaid tenant receivables at one of our properties and increases in allowances due to uncertainty of collectibility of receivable balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. As of September 30, 2011, we have fully reserved tenant receivables (both accounts receivable and straight-line rents) for certain tenants that have not terminated their leases. Such tenants may be paying some or all of their rent on a current basis, but recoverability of some or all past due receivable balances is not considered probable.
Real Estate Tax Expense. Real estate tax expense increased $5.1 million to $31.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $26.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to properties acquired in 2010. Same property real estate tax expense increased $362,000, or 1.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 2010 due to a value reassessment at one of our properties.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $22.7 million to $105.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $83.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to properties acquired in 2010.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $2.3 million to $21.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $19.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in aggregate compensation costs due to higher headcount as compared to the prior year.
Acquisition Related Expenses. Acquisition related expenses decreased $1.6 million to $789,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in acquisition activities in 2011 as compared to the prior year.
Equity in Net Loss of Unconsolidated Partnerships. Equity in net loss of unconsolidated partnerships increased $1.1 million to $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $686,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increased loss primarily reflects the commencement of depreciation and ceasing of interest capitalization on a vacant property that was under development in 2010 being placed into service.

Interest Expense. Interest cost incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled $73.0 million compared to $68.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Total interest cost incurred increased primarily as a result of the issuance of our unsecured senior notes and increases in the average interest rate on our outstanding borrowings due to the issuance of new fixed-rate indebtedness with a higher interest rate than the variable-rate indebtedness it replaced, partially offset by the expiration of derivative instruments. Interest expense increased $3.0 million to $67.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $64.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Interest expense increased primarily as the result of the increase in interest cost incurred partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest.

Total interest expense
  $ 67,730     $ 64,719  
 
           
Other Expense. Other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $4.6 million related to the reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive loss of an unrealized loss, considered to be other-than-temporary, related to investments in available-for-sale securities in two publicly traded companies. See the lease termination section below for further discussion.
Loss on Derivative Instruments. The losses on derivative instruments of $564,000 and $634,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were primarily related to a reduction in our variable-rate indebtedness during the respective periods resulting in other comprehensive loss being reclassified to the consolidated income statement due to mismatches in forecasted transactions on interest rate swaps.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we voluntarily prepaid in full the outstanding mortgage notes totaling approximately $47.2 million pertaining to the Ardentech Court, Road to the Cure, 10255 Science Center Drive and 9865 Towne Centre Drive properties, prior to their maturity dates. The prepayments resulted in the recognition of a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $814,000 (representing a prepayment penalty and the write-off of deferred loan fees partially offset by the write off of unamortized debt premium). During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we repurchased $26.4 million face value of our Notes due 2026. The repurchases resulted in the recognition of a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $863,000 (representing the write-off of deferred loan fees and unamortized debt discount). In addition, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of approximately $1.4 million of deferred loan fees and legal expenses as a result of the prepayment of $250.0 million of the outstanding borrowings on our secured term loan.
Lease termination. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded approximately $4.1 million in lease termination income, which has been recorded as other income, related to an early lease termination at one of our properties. Consideration was in the form of marketable equity securities received from the former tenant and the recognition of previously deferred rental income related to the property. As a result of this lease termination, bad debt expense of approximately $1.0 million was recorded and the amortization of certain intangibles was accelerated resulting in an additional depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $700,000. The net impact of this lease termination for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased net income by approximately $2.4 million. In addition, as described above, other expense includes an unrealized loss, considered to be other-than-temporary, related to investments in marketable securities of which approximately $3.6 million relates to an investment in the former tenant received in connection with a restructuring of the now terminated lease in a prior quarter. The net effect of all these transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 reduced net income by $1.2 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $32.1 million to $135.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $102.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to cash flow generated by acquisitions and cash rent starts on new leases.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $141.1 million to $178.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $319.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease reflects reduced acquisition activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $179.2 million to $38.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $217.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease primarily reflects reduced financing requirements due to reduced acquisition activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The proceeds from the issuance of our Notes due 2016 in March 2011 were primarily used to repay balances due under our unsecured line of credit and mortgage notes payable.
Funds from Operations
We present funds from operations, or FFO, available to common shares and OP units because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002). As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of loan origination costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our computation may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.
In this “Liquidity and Capital Resources of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.” section, the term the “Company” refers only to BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. on an unconsolidated basis, and excludes the operating partnership and all other subsidiaries. For further discussion of the liquidity and capital resources of the Company on a consolidated basis, see the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources of BioMed Realty, L.P.” below.
The Company’s business is operated primarily through the operating partnership. The Company issues public equity from time to time, but does not otherwise generate any capital itself or conduct any business itself, other than incurring certain expenses in operating as a public company which are fully reimbursed by the operating partnership. The Company itself does not hold any indebtedness, and its only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the operating partnership. The Company’s principal funding requirement is the payment of dividends on its common and preferred shares. The Company’s principal source of funding for its dividend payments is distributions it receives from the operating partnership.
As of September 30, 2011, the Company owned an approximate 97.8% partnership interest and other limited partners, including some of our directors, executive officers and their affiliates, owned the remaining 2.2% partnership interest (including LTIP units) in the operating partnership. As the sole general partner of the operating partnership, BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for the operating partnership’s day-to-day management and control.

The liquidity of the Company is dependent on the operating partnership’s ability to make sufficient distributions to the Company. The primary cash requirement of the Company is its payment of dividends to its stockholders. The Company also guarantees some of the operating partnership’s debt, as discussed further in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. If the operating partnership fails to fulfill certain of its debt requirements, which trigger the Company’s guarantee obligations, then the Company will be required to fulfill its cash payment commitments under such guarantees. However, the Company’s only significant asset is its investment in the operating partnership.
We believe the operating partnership’s sources of working capital, specifically its cash flow from operations, and borrowings available under its unsecured line of credit, are adequate for it to make its distribution payments to the Company and, in turn, for the Company to make its dividend payments to its stockholders. However, we cannot assure you that the operating partnership’s sources of capital will continue to be available at all or in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, including its ability to make distribution payments to the Company. The unavailability of capital could adversely affect the operating partnership’s ability to pay its distributions to the Company, which would in turn, adversely affect the Company’s ability to pay cash dividends to its stockholders.
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for future dividends expected to be paid to the Company’s stockholders, operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our properties, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, general and administrative expenses, construction projects, capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
The Company may from time to time seek to repurchase or redeem the operating partnership’s outstanding debt, the Company’s shares of common stock or preferred stock or other securities in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or redemptions, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
For the Company to maintain its qualification as a REIT, it must pay dividends to its stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of its ordinary taxable income. While historically the Company has satisfied this distribution requirement by making cash distributions to its stockholders, it may choose to satisfy this requirement by making distributions of cash or other property, including, in limited circumstances, the Company’s own stock. As a result of this distribution requirement, the operating partnership cannot rely on retained earnings to fund its on-going operations to the same extent that other companies whose parent companies are not REITs can. The Company may need to continue to raise capital in the equity markets to fund the operating partnership’s working capital needs, acquisitions and developments.
The Company is a well-known seasoned issuer with an effective shelf registration statement which was amended in November 2010 that allows the Company to register an unspecified amount of various classes of equity securities and the operating partnership to register an unspecified amount of various classes of debt securities. As circumstances warrant, the Company may issue equity from time to time on an opportunistic basis, dependent upon market conditions and available pricing. When the Company receives proceeds from preferred or common equity issuances, it is required by the operating partnership’s partnership agreement to contribute the proceeds from its equity issuances to the operating partnership in exchange for preferred or partnership units of the operating partnership. The operating partnership may use the proceeds to repay debt, including borrowings under its unsecured line of credit, develop new or existing properties, acquire properties, or for general corporate purposes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources of BioMed Realty, L.P.
In this “Liquidity and Capital Resources of BioMed Realty, L.P.” section, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to the operating partnership together with its consolidated subsidiaries or our operating partnership and BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. together with their consolidated subsidiaries, as the context requires. BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., or our Parent Company, is our sole general partner and consolidates our results of operations for financial reporting purposes. Because we operate on a consolidated basis with our Parent Company, the section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.” should be read in conjunction with this section to understand our liquidity and capital resources on a consolidated basis.
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for future dividends expected to be paid to our Parent Company’s stockholders, operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our properties, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, general and administrative expenses, construction projects, capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we voluntarily prepaid in full the outstanding mortgage notes totaling approximately $47.2 million pertaining to the Ardentech Court, Road to the Cure, 10255 Science Center Drive and 9865 Towne Centre Drive properties, prior to their respective maturity dates. In October 2011, we voluntarily prepaid in full the outstanding mortgage note pertaining to the Sorrento West property, in the amount of approximately $13.0 million, prior to its maturity date. Additional consolidated mortgage note maturities through 2012 include mortgages on our 6828 Nancy Ridge Drive and Sidney Street properties, with outstanding balances of $6.4 million and $26.7 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2011.
In August 2011, we completed the repurchase of 1,280,000 shares of our Parent Company’s Series A preferred stock for approximately $31.1 million, or $24.30 per share, net of accrued dividends of approximately $250,000.
In October 2011, we voluntarily repurchased and redeemed in full the remaining principal amount of the Notes due 2026.
Our $350.0 million mortgage loan, which is secured by our Center for Life Science | Boston property in Boston, Massachusetts, includes a financial covenant relating to a minimum amount of net worth. Management believes that it was in compliance with this covenant as of September 30, 2011.
The terms of the indentures governing the Notes due 2016 and Notes due 2020 require compliance with various financial covenants, including limits on the amount of total leverage and secured debt maintained by us and which require us to maintain minimum levels of debt service coverage. Management believes that it was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2011.
The credit agreement governing our unsecured line of credit includes certain restrictions and covenants which require compliance with financial covenants relating to the minimum amounts of net worth, fixed charge coverage, unsecured debt service coverage, overall leverage and unsecured leverage ratios, the maximum amount of secured indebtedness and certain investment limitations. Management believes that it was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2011.
Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for scheduled debt maturities, construction obligations, renovations, expansions, capital commitments and other non-recurring capital expenditures that need to be made periodically, and the costs associated with acquisitions of properties that we pursue. At September 30, 2011, we have entered into construction contracts and lease agreements, with a remaining commitment totaling approximately $90.2 million related to tenant improvements, leasing commissions and construction-related capital expenditures.

We expect to satisfy our short-term liquidity requirements through our existing working capital and cash provided by our operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of additional equity or debt securities and the use of net proceeds from the disposition of non-strategic assets. Our rental revenues, provided by our leases, generally provide cash inflows to meet our debt service obligations, pay general and administrative expenses, and fund regular distributions. We expect to satisfy our long-term liquidity requirements through our existing working capital, cash provided by operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity or debt securities. We also expect to use funds available under our unsecured line of credit to finance acquisition and development activities and capital expenditures on an interim basis. In July 2011, we entered into a new unsecured line of credit which has a maturity date of July 13, 2015, which may be extended to July 13, 2016 at our sole discretion, after satisfying certain conditions and paying an extension fee based on the then current facility commitment (see Note 5 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein). The secured acquisition and interim loan facility has a maturity date of February 10, 2012. At maturity, we may refinance the loan, depending on market conditions and the availability of credit, or we may repay the principal balance of the secured acquisition and interim loan facility. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, a wholly owned subsidiary of our joint venture with PREI I LLC entered into an agreement with certain lenders to extend the maturity date of its secured construction loan facility, extending the maturity date to August 13, 2013 and decreasing the borrowing capacity to $139.0 million, which required the repayment of approximately $67.0 million by capital contributions of the partners, including our share of the repayment of approximately $13.4 million. In accordance with the loan agreement, Prudential Insurance Corporation of America has guaranteed repayment of the secured construction loan. In addition, we have an investment grade rating which we believe will provide us with continued access to the unsecured debt markets, providing us with an additional source of long term financing.
On March 30, 2011, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of our Notes due 2016. The net proceeds from the issuance were utilized to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness on our unsecured line of credit and for other general corporate and working capital purposes.
BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.’s total capitalization at September 30, 2011 was approximately $4.1 billion and comprised the following:

Aggregate principal amount based on the market closing price of the common stock of our Parent Company of $16.57 per share on the last trading day of the quarter (September 30, 2011). Limited partners who have been issued OP units have the right to require the operating partnership to redeem part or all of their OP units, which right with respect to LTIP units is subject to vesting and the satisfaction of other conditions. We may elect to acquire those OP units in exchange for shares of our Parent Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. At September 30, 2011, 131,265,102 of the outstanding OP units had been issued to our Parent Company upon receipt of the net proceeds from the issuance of an equal number of shares of our Parent Company’s common stock.

Based on the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share of our Parent Company’s 7.375% Series A preferred stock (we have issued a corresponding number of 7.375% Series A preferred units).
Although our organizational documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur, our Parent Company’s board of directors has adopted a policy of targeting our indebtedness at approximately 50% of our total asset book value. At September 30, 2011, the ratio of debt to total asset book value was approximately 41.3%. However, our Parent Company’s board of directors may from time to time modify our debt policy in light of current economic or market conditions including, but not limited to, the relative costs of debt and equity capital, market conditions for debt and equity securities and fluctuations in the market price of our Parent Company’s common stock. Accordingly, we may increase or decrease our debt to total asset book value ratio beyond the limit described above. In addition, the terms of the indentures governing our Notes due 2016 and Notes due 2020 and the credit agreement governing our unsecured line of credit require compliance with various financial covenants and ratios, which are discussed in detail above and in Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein.
We may from time to time seek to repurchase or redeem our outstanding debt, OP units or preferred units (subject to the repurchase or redemption of an equivalent number of shares of common stock or preferred stock by our Parent Company) or other securities, and our Parent Company may seek to repurchase or redeem its outstanding shares of common stock or preferred stock or other securities, in each case in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or redemptions, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2011, we had investments in the following unconsolidated partnerships: (1) McKellar Court limited partnership, which owns a single tenant occupied property located in San Diego; and (2) two limited liability companies with PREI, which own a portfolio of properties primarily located in Cambridge, Massachusetts (see Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein for more information).
The McKellar Court partnership is a VIE; however, we are not the primary beneficiary. The limited partner at McKellar Court is the only tenant in the property and will bear a disproportionate amount of any losses. We, as the general partner, will receive 22% of the operating cash flows and 75% of the gains upon sale of the property. We account for our general partner interest using the equity method. The assets of the McKellar Court partnership were $14.5 million and $14.7 million and the liabilities were $10.5 million and $10.5 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Our equity in net income of the McKellar Court partnership was $230,000 and $232,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $684,000 and $740,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In December 2009, we provided funding in the form of a promissory note to the McKellar Court partnership in the amount of $10.3 million, which matures at the earlier of (1) January 1, 2020, or (2) the day that the limited partner exercises an option to purchase our ownership interest. Interest-only payments on the promissory note are due monthly at a fixed rate of 8.15% (the rate may adjust higher after January 1, 2015), with the principal balance outstanding due at maturity.
PREI II LLC is a VIE; however, we are not the primary beneficiary. PREI will bear the majority of any losses incurred. PREI I LLC does not qualify as a VIE. In addition, consolidation is not required as we do not control the limited liability companies. In connection with the formation of the PREI joint ventures in April 2007, we contributed 20% of the initial capital. However, the amount of cash flow distributions that we receive may be more or less based on the nature of the circumstances underlying the cash distributions due to provisions in the operating agreements governing the distribution of funds to each member and the occurrence of extraordinary cash flow events. We account for our member interests using the equity method for both limited liability companies. The assets of the PREI joint ventures were $635.4 million and $652.3 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and the liabilities were $355.6 million and $423.6 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Our equity in net loss of the PREI joint ventures was $965,000 and $540,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $2.5 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

We have been the primary beneficiary in six other VIEs, consisting of single-tenant properties in which the tenant has a fixed-price purchase option, which are consolidated and reflected in our consolidated financial statements.
Our proportionate share of outstanding debt related to our unconsolidated partnerships is summarized below (dollars in thousands):

                  $ 67,650     $ 81,131      
 
                               
 
     
(1)  
Amount represents our proportionate share of the total outstanding indebtedness for each of the unconsolidated partnerships.
 
(2)  
Effective or weighted-average interest rate of the outstanding indebtedness as of September 30, 2011.
 
(3)  
Amount represents our proportionate share of the total draws outstanding under a secured acquisition and interim loan facility, which bears interest at a rate equal to, at the option of our PREI joint ventures, either (a) reserve adjusted LIBOR plus 350 basis points or (b) the higher of (i) the prime rate then in effect, (ii) the federal funds rate then in effect plus 50 basis points or (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 450 basis points, and requires interest only monthly payments until the maturity date. At maturity, the PREI joint ventures may refinance the secured acquisition and interim loan facility, depending on market conditions and the availability of credit, or they may repay the principal balance through capital contributions of the members.
 
(4)  
Amount represents our proportionate share of a secured construction loan, which bears interest at a LIBOR-indexed variable rate. The secured construction loan was executed by a wholly owned subsidiary of PREI I LLC in connection with the construction of the 650 East Kendall Street property. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the wholly owned subsidiary of PREI I LLC entered into an agreement with certain lenders of its secured construction loan facility, extending the maturity date to August 13, 2013 and decreasing the borrowing capacity to $139.0 million. In accordance with the loan agreement, Prudential Insurance Corporation of America has guaranteed repayment of the secured construction loan.
Cash Distribution Policy
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2004. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including the requirement that we distribute currently at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to our stockholders. It is our intention to comply with these requirements and maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate federal, state or local income taxes on taxable income we distribute currently (in accordance with the Code and applicable regulations) to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for subsequent tax years. Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income 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 Code and applicable regulations thereunder.
While we most recently paid a dividend on shares of common stock at an annual dividend rate of $0.80 per share, the actual dividend payable in the future will be determined by our board of directors based upon the circumstances at the time of declaration and, as a result, the actual dividend payable in the future may vary from the current rate. The decision to declare and pay dividends on shares of our common stock in the future, as well as the timing, amount and composition of any such future dividends, will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors in light of conditions then existing, including our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, debt maturities, the availability of debt and equity capital, applicable REIT and legal restrictions and the general overall economic conditions and other factors.

Inflation
Some of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. These provisions generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases either at fixed rates or indexed escalations (based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures). We may be adversely impacted by inflation on the leases that do not contain indexed escalation provisions. In addition, most of our leases require the tenant to pay an allocable share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance. This may reduce our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation, assuming our properties remain leased and tenants fulfill their obligations to reimburse us for such expenses.
Portions of our unsecured line of credit bear interest at a variable rate, which will be influenced by changes in short-term interest rates, and will be sensitive to inflation.

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 is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The primary market risk to which we believe we are exposed is interest rate risk. Many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control contribute to interest rate risk.
As of September 30, 2011, our consolidated debt consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):
                         
                    Effective Interest  
            Percent of     Rate at  
    Principal Balance(1)     Total Debt     September 30, 2011  
Fixed interest rate(2)
  $ 1,448,618       87.0 %     5.56 %
Variable interest rate(3)
    216,100       13.0 %     1.78 %
 
                   
Total/weighted-average effective interest rate
  $ 1,664,718       100.0 %     5.07 %
 
                   
 
     
(1)  
Principal balance includes only consolidated indebtedness.
 
(2)  
Includes seven mortgage notes payable secured by certain of our properties (including $3.6 million of unamortized premium), our Notes due 2026, our Notes due 2030, our Notes due 2020 (including $2.3 million of unamortized debt discount), and our Notes due 2016 (including $2.3 million of unamortized debt discount).
 
(3)  
Includes our unsecured line of credit, which bears interest based on a LIBOR-indexed variable interest rate, plus a credit spread.
To determine the fair-value of our outstanding consolidated indebtedness, we utilize quoted market prices to estimate the fair-value, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, we calculate the fair-value of our mortgage notes payable and other fixed-rate debt based on an estimate of current lending rates, assuming the debt is outstanding through maturity and considering the notes’ collateral. In determining the current market rate for fixed-rate debt, a market credit spread is added to the quoted yields on federal government treasury securities with similar terms to the debt. In determining the current market rate for variable-rate debt, a market credit spread is added to the current effective interest rate. At September 30, 2011, the fair-value of the fixed-rate debt was estimated to be $1.6 billion compared to the net carrying value of $1.4 billion (includes $3.6 million of unamortized debt premium, $2.3 million of unamortized debt discount associated with our Notes due 2020, and $2.3 million of unamortized debt discount associated with our Notes due 2016). At September 30, 2011, the fair-value of the variable-rate debt was estimated to be $212.5 million compared to the net carrying value of $216.1 million. We do not believe that the interest rate risk represented by our fixed-rate debt or the risk of changes in the credit spread related to our variable-rate debt was material as of September 30, 2011 in relation to total assets of $4.0 billion and equity market capitalization of $2.4 billion of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock and preferred stock, and BioMed Realty, L.P.’s OP units.
Based on the outstanding balances of our consolidated indebtedness at September 30, 2011, a 1% change in interest rates would change our interest expense by approximately $2.2 million per year. Based on the outstanding unhedged balances of our proportionate share of the outstanding balance for the PREI joint ventures’ secured loan and secured construction loan at September 30, 2011, a 1% change in interest rates would change our interest costs included in our equity in net loss of unconsolidated partnerships by approximately $677,000 per year. This amount was determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. This analysis does not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of the magnitude discussed above, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, this analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure.
In order to modify and manage the interest rate characteristics of our outstanding debt and to limit the effects of interest rate risks on our operations, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps and treasury locks in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. The use of these types of instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates carries additional risks, including counterparty credit risk, the enforceability of hedging contracts and the risk that unanticipated and significant changes in interest rates will cause a significant loss of basis in the contract. To limit counterparty credit risk we will seek to enter into such agreements with major financial institutions with high credit ratings. There can be no assurance that we will be able to adequately protect against the foregoing risks and will ultimately realize an economic benefit that exceeds the related amounts incurred in connection with engaging in such hedging activities. We do not enter into such contracts for speculative or trading purposes.
