Business

History

Our company, Franklin Street Properties Corp., which we refer to as FSP Corp. or the Company, is a Maryland corporation that operates in a manner intended to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes. FSP Corp. is the successor to Franklin Street Partners Limited Partnership, or the FSP Partnership, which was originally formed as a Massachusetts general partnership in January 1997 as the successor to a Massachusetts general partnership that was formed in 1981. On January 1, 2002, the FSP Partnership converted into FSP Corp., which we refer to as the conversion. As a result of this conversion, the FSP Partnership ceased to exist and we succeeded to the business of the FSP Partnership. In the conversion, each unit of both general and limited partnership interests in the FSP Partnership was converted into one share of our common stock. As a result of the conversion, we hold, directly and indirectly, 100% of the interest in three former subsidiaries of the FSP Partnership: FSP Investments LLC, FSP Property Management LLC, and FSP Holdings LLC. We operate some of our business through these subsidiaries.

On April 30, 2005, we acquired four real estate investment trusts by merger, which we refer to as the 2005 Target REITs. In these mergers we issued 10,894,994 shares of common stock to holders of preferred stock in the 2005 Target REITs. As a result of these mergers, we acquired all of the assets previously held by the 2005 Target REITs.

On June 2, 2005, we began trading our common stock on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “FSP”.

On April 30, 2006, we acquired five real estate investment trusts by merger, which we refer to as the 2006 Target REITs. In these mergers we issued 10,971,697 shares of common stock to holders of preferred stock in the 2006 Target REITs. As a result of these mergers, we acquired all of the assets previously held by the 2006 Target REITs.

Our Business

We operate in two business segments and have two principal sources of revenue:

Real estate operations, including rental income from real estate leasing, interest income from secured loans made for interim acquisition or other purposes and fee income from asset/property management.

Investment banking/investment services, which generate brokerage commissions, loan origination fees, development services and other fees related to the organization of single-purpose entities that own real estate and the private placement of equity in those entities. We refer to these entities which are organized as corporations and operated in a manner intended to qualify as real estate investment trusts, as Sponsored REITs. Previously these entities were called Sponsored Entities and were organized as partnerships.

From time-to-time we may acquire real estate or invest in real estate by purchasing shares of preferred stock offered in the syndications of our Sponsored REITs. We may also pursue on a selective basis the sale of our properties to take advantage of the value creation and demand for our properties, or for geographic or property specific reasons.

See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our business segments.

Real Estate

We own and operate a portfolio of real estate consisting of 26 properties as of December 31, 2007, which includes 25 office buildings and one industrial use property. We derive rental revenue from income paid to us by tenants of these properties. From time-to-time we dispose of properties generating gains or losses in an ongoing effort to improve and upgrade our portfolio. See Item 2 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information about our properties. We also hold investments in three Sponsored REITs as of December 31, 2007, from which we received dividends.

FSP Corp. typically makes a loan to each Sponsored REIT which is secured by a mortgage on the borrower’s real estate. The loans produce revenue in the form of interest and loan origination fees payable to FSP Corp. These loans typically are repaid out of the proceeds of the borrower’s equity offering. In December 2007, a Sponsored REIT obtained a revolving line of credit facility from us, which has not been drawn on but is available for the purpose of funding capital expenditures and other costs of leasing. We anticipate that any advances made under this facility will be repaid at its maturity on November 30, 2010 or earlier from long-term financing of the property, cash flows from the property or a capital event.

We also provide asset management, property management, property accounting, and/or development services to our portfolio and certain of our Sponsored REITs through our subsidiary FSP Property Management LLC. FSP Corp. recognizes revenue for its receipt of fee income from Sponsored REITs that have not been consolidated or acquired by us. FSP Property Management LLC does not receive any rental income.

Investment Banking/Investment Services

Through our subsidiary FSP Investments LLC, which acts as a real estate investment banking firm and broker/dealer, we organize Sponsored REITs, and sell equity in them through private placements exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. These single-purpose entities each typically acquire a single real estate asset. FSP Investments raises capital required to equitize these entities through best efforts offerings to “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act. We retain 100% of the common stock interest in the Sponsored REIT, though there is virtually no economic benefit or risk related to the common stock subsequent to the completion of the syndication. Since 1997, FSP Investments has sponsored the syndication of 47 entities, 13 of which were Sponsored Entities, and 34 of which were Sponsored REITs.

FSP Investments derives revenue from syndication and other transaction fees received in connection with the sale of preferred stock in the Sponsored REITs and from fees paid by the Sponsored REITs for its services in identifying, inspecting and negotiating to purchase real properties on their behalf. FSP Investments is a registered broker/dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA. We have made an election to treat FSP Investments as a “taxable REIT subsidiary” for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Objectives

Our investment objectives are to increase the cash available for distribution in the form of dividends to our stockholders and to create shareholder value by increasing revenue from rental, dividend and interest income, net gains from sales of properties and investment banking services. We expect that, through FSP Investments, we will continue to organize and cause the offering of Sponsored REITs in the future and that we will continue to derive investment banking/investment services income from such activities, as well as real estate revenue from loan origination fees, interest income and fees from asset management, property management and development. We may also acquire additional real properties by direct cash purchase or by acquisition of Sponsored REITs, though we have no obligation to acquire or offer to acquire any Sponsored REIT in the future. In addition, we may invest in real estate by purchasing shares of preferred stock offered in the syndications of our Sponsored REITs.

From time to time, as market conditions warrant, we may sell properties owned by us. In 2007 we sold five properties. In 2006 we sold six properties and reached an agreement to sell another property. In 2005 we sold six properties and reached an agreement to sell another property. When we sell a property, we either distribute some or all of the sale proceeds to our stockholders as a distribution or retain some or all of such proceeds for investment in real properties or other corporate activities.

We may acquire, and have acquired, real properties in any geographic area of the United States and of any property type. We own 26 properties that are located in 13 different states. Of the 26 properties, 25 are office buildings and one is an industrial property. See Item 2 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information about our properties.

We rely on the following principles in selecting real properties for acquisition by a Sponsored REIT or FSP Corp. and managing them after acquisition:

we seek to buy or develop investment properties at a price which produces value for investors and avoid overpaying for real estate merely to outbid competitors;

we seek to buy or develop properties in excellent locations with substantial infrastructure in place around them and avoid investing in locations where the future construction of such infrastructure is speculative;

we seek to buy or develop properties that are well-constructed and designed to appeal to a broad base of users and avoid properties where quality has been sacrificed to cost savings in construction or which appeal only to a narrow group of users;

we aggressively manage, maintain and upgrade our properties and refuse to neglect or undercapitalize management, maintenance and capital improvement programs; and

we believe that we have the ability to hold properties through down cycles because we generally do not have significant leverage on the Company, which could place them at risk of foreclosure. As of February 22, 2008, none of our 26 properties was subject to mortgage debt, although four Sponsored REITs organized by us have incurred mortgage debt.

Line of Credit

We currently have an unsecured revolving line of credit with a group of banks that provides for borrowings of up to $250,000,000. On October 19, 2007, we amended the loan agreement that evidences and secures our revolving line of credit to, among other things, increase the amount of borrowings available for use from $150,000,000 to $250,000,000 and to extend the maturity date from August 2008 to August 2011. We have drawn on this line of credit, and intend to draw on this line of credit in the future for a variety of corporate purposes, including the funding of interim mortgage loans to Sponsored REITs and the acquisition of properties that we acquire directly for our portfolio. We typically cause mortgage loans to Sponsored REITs to be secured by a first mortgage against the real property owned by the Sponsored REIT. We make these loans to enable a Sponsored REIT to acquire real property prior to the consummation of the offering of its equity interests, and the loan is repaid out of the offering proceeds. We also may make secured loans to Sponsored REITs for the purpose of funding capital expenditures and other costs which would be repaid from long-term financing of the property, cash flows from the property or a capital event.

Competition

With respect to our real estate investments, we face competition in each of the markets where the properties are located. In order to establish, maintain or increase the rental revenues for a property, it must be competitive on location, cost and amenities with other buildings of similar use. Some of our competitors may have significantly more resources than we do and may be able to offer more attractive rental rates or services. On the other hand, some of our competitors may be smaller or have less fixed overhead costs, less cash or other resources that make them willing or able to accept lower rents in order to maintain a certain occupancy level. In markets where there is not currently significant existing property competition, our competitors may decide to enter the market and build new buildings to compete with our existing projects or those in a development stage. Our competition is not only with other developers, but also with property users who choose to own their building or a portion of the building in the form of an office condominium, and larger market forces (including changes in interest rates and tax treatment) and individual decisions beyond our control may affect our ability to compete with those forms of ownership.

With respect to our investment banking and investment services business, we face competition for investment dollars from every other kind of investment, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange traded funds and other real-estate related investments, including other REITs. Some of our competitors have significantly more resources than we do and are able to advertise their investment products. Because the offerings of the Sponsored REITs are made pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, FSP Investments may not advertise the Sponsored REITs or otherwise engage in any general solicitation of investors to purchase interests in the Sponsored REITs, which may affect our ability to compete for investment dollars. In addition, because we offer the Sponsored REITs only to accredited investors, our pool of potential investment clients is smaller than that available to some other financial institutions.

Employees

We had 37 full-time and 1 part-time employees as of February 22, 2008.

Item 1A Risk Factors.

The following important factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and presented elsewhere by management from time-to-time.

Debt market conditions could have a material adverse impact on our earnings and financial condition.

Because interest rate levels and the availability of financing may affect real estate values, occupancy levels, property income and the propensity and the ability of investors to invest in Sponsored REITs, debt market conditions could have a material adverse impact on our earnings and financial condition. The debt market is currently experiencing unprecedented disruptions, including reduced liquidity and increased credit risk premiums for certain market participants. These conditions, which increase the cost and reduce the availability of debt, may continue or worsen in the future. At this time we cannot predict the extent or duration of any negative impact that the current debt market conditions will have on our earnings and financial condition.

If we are not able to collect sufficient rents from each of our owned real properties or interest on secured loans we fund, we may suffer significant operating losses or a reduction in cash available for future dividends.

A substantial portion of our revenue is generated by the rental income of our real properties. If our properties do not provide us with a steady rental income or we do not collect interest income from loans we fund, our revenues will decrease, which may cause us to incur operating losses in the future.

We may not be able to find properties that meet our criteria for purchase.

Growth in our investment banking/investment services business and our portfolio of real estate is dependent on the ability of our acquisition executives to find properties for sale and/or development which meet our investment criteria. To the extent they fail to find such properties, we will be unable to syndicate offerings of Sponsored REITs to investors, and this segment of our business could have lower revenue, and we would be unable to increase the size of our portfolio of real estate, which would reduce the cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

If we are unable to fully syndicate a Sponsored REIT, we may be required to keep a balance outstanding on our line of credit or use our cash balance to repay our line of credit, which may reduce cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

We typically draw on our line of credit to make an interim mortgage loan to a Sponsored REIT, so that it can acquire real property prior to the consummation of the offering of its equity interests; this interim loan is typically secured by a first mortgage against the real property acquired by the Sponsored REIT. Once the offering has been completed, the Sponsored REIT typically repays the loan out of the offering proceeds. If we are unable to fully syndicate a Sponsored REIT, the Sponsored REIT could be unable to fully repay the loan, and we would have to satisfy our obligation under our line of credit through other means. If we are required to use cash for this purpose, we would have less cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

A default under our line of credit could have a material adverse effect on the cash available for distribution to our stockholders and would limit our growth.

We typically draw on our line of credit to make an interim mortgage loan to a Sponsored REIT, so that the Sponsored REIT can acquire real property prior to the consummation of the offering of such Sponsored REIT’s equity interests. Once the offering has been completed, the Sponsored REIT typically repays the loan out of the offering proceeds. We also may use the line of credit to purchase properties directly for our real estate portfolio or to make loans to Sponsored REITs or for other corporate purposes. A default under our line of credit could result in difficulty financing growth in both the investment banking/investment services and real estate segments of our business. It could also result in a reduction in the cash available for distribution to our stockholders because revenue for our investment banking/investment services segment is directly related to the amount of equity raised by Sponsored REITs which we syndicate. In addition, a significant part of our growth strategy is to acquire additional real properties by cash purchase or by acquisition of Sponsored REITs, and the inability to utilize the line of credit would make it substantially more difficult to pursue acquisitions by either method. To the extent we have a balance outstanding on the line of credit on the date of its default, we would have to satisfy our obligation through other means. If we are required to use cash for this purpose, we would have less cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

An increase in interest rates would increase our interest costs on any variable rate advances under our line of credit and could adversely impact our ability to refinance our line of credit or sell assets.

As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately $84.8 million of indebtedness that bears interest at a variable rate under our line of credit, and we may incur more of such indebtedness in the future. Accordingly, if interest rates increase, so will the cost of any variable rate advances under our line of credit, which could adversely affect our cash flow and decrease the amount of cash available for distribution to our stockholders. In addition, rising interest rates could limit our ability to refinance our line of credit when it matures in 2011. Rising interest rates could also decrease the amount third parties are willing to pay for our assets, thereby limiting our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions.

In response to this interest rate risk, in the future we may enter into interest rate swap agreements and other interest rate hedging contracts, including interest rate caps and floors. While these agreements would be intended to lessen the impact of rising interest rates on us, they could also expose us to certain risks, including the risk that the other parties to the agreements would not perform, the risk that the agreements would be unenforceable and the risk that the underlying transactions would fail to qualify as highly-effective cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended”.

We face risks in continuing to attract investors for Sponsored REITs.

Our investment banking/investment services business continues to depend upon its ability to attract purchasers of equity interests in Sponsored REITs. Our success in this area will depend on the propensity and ability of investors who have previously invested in Sponsored REITs to continue to invest in future Sponsored REITs and on our ability to expand the investor pool for the Sponsored REITs by identifying new potential investors. Moreover, our investment banking/investment services business may be affected to the extent existing Sponsored REITs incur losses or have operating results that fail to meet investors’ expectations.

We are dependent on key personnel.

We depend on the efforts of George J. Carter, our President and Chief Executive Officer and a Director; Barbara J. Fournier, our Chief Operating Officer, Treasurer, Secretary, a Vice President and a Director; John G. Demeritt, our Chief Financial Officer; Janet Prier Notopoulos, a Vice President and a Director; R. Scott MacPhee, an Executive Vice President; and William W. Gribbell, an Executive Vice President. If any of our executive officers were to resign, our operations could be adversely affected. We do not have employment agreements with any of our executive officers.

Our level of dividends may fluctuate.

Because our investment banking/investment services business is transactional in nature and real estate occupancy levels and rental rates can fluctuate, there is no predictable recurring level of revenue from such activities. As a result of this, the amount of cash available for distribution may fluctuate, which may result in us not being able to maintain or grow dividend levels in the future.

We face risks from tenant defaults or bankruptcies.

If any of our tenants defaults on its lease, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment. In addition, at any time, a tenant of one of our properties may seek the protection of bankruptcy laws, which could result in the rejection and termination of such tenant’s lease and thereby cause a reduction in cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

The real properties held by us may significantly decrease in value.

As of February 22, 2008, we owned 26 properties. Some or all of these properties may decline in value. To the extent our real properties decline in value, our stockholders could lose some or all of the value of their investments. The value of our common stock may be adversely affected if the real properties held by us decline in value since these real properties represent the majority of the tangible assets held by us. Moreover, if we are forced to sell or lease the real property held by us below its initial purchase price or its carrying costs or if we are forced to lease real property at below market rates because of the condition of the property, our results of operations would be adversely affected and such negative results of operations may result in lower dividends being paid to holders of our common stock.

New acquisitions may fail to perform as expected.

We may acquire new properties, whether by direct FSP Corp. purchase with cash or our line of credit, by acquisition of Sponsored REITs or other entities by cash or through the issuance of shares of our stock or by investment in a Sponsored REIT. We acquired the four 2005 Target REITs and the properties they owned on April 30, 2005, a property in Colorado in February 2005, another property in Indiana in July 2005 and another property in Texas in February 2006. We also acquired the five 2006 Target REITs and the properties they owned on April 30, 2006, a property in Georgia in June 2006 and a property in Colorado in December 2006. We acquired a property in Maryland in June 2007. Newly acquired properties may fail to perform as expected, in which case, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

We face risks in owning, developing and operating real property.

An investment in us is subject to the risks incident to the ownership, development and operation of real estate-related assets. These risks include the fact that real estate investments are generally illiquid, which may affect our ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions, as well as the risks normally associated with:

changes in general and local economic conditions;

the supply or demand for particular types of properties in particular markets;

changes in market rental rates;

the impact of environmental protection laws;

changes in tax, real estate and zoning laws; and

the impact of obligations and restrictions contained in title-related documents.

Certain significant costs, such as real estate taxes, utilities, insurance and maintenance costs, generally are not reduced even when a property’s rental income is reduced. In addition, environmental and tax laws, interest rate levels, the availability of financing and other factors may affect real estate values and property income. Furthermore, the supply of commercial space fluctuates with market conditions.

We may encounter significant delays in reletting vacant space, resulting in losses of income.

When leases expire, we will incur expenses and may not be able to re-lease the space on the same terms. Certain leases provide tenants the right to terminate early if they pay a fee. If we are unable to re-lease space promptly, if the terms are significantly less favorable than anticipated or if the costs are higher, we may have to reduce distributions to our stockholders. Typical lease terms range from five to ten years, so up to approximately 20% of our rental revenue from commercial properties could be expected to expire each year.

We face risks from geographic concentration.

The properties in our portfolio as of December 31, 2007, by aggregate square footage, are distributed geographically as follows: Southwest – 27%, Northeast – 17%, Midwest – 19%, West – 22% and Southeast – 15%. However, within certain of those regions, we hold a larger concentration of our properties in Dallas, Texas – 19%, Greater Denver, Colorado – 14%, Atlanta, Georgia – 8% and Houston, Texas – 8%. We are likely to face risks to the extent that any of these areas in which we hold a larger concentration of our properties suffer deteriorating economic conditions.

We compete with national, regional and local real estate operators and developers, which could adversely affect our cash flow.

Competition exists in every market in which our properties are currently located and in every market in which properties we may acquire in the future will be located. We compete with, among others, national, regional and numerous local real estate operators and developers. Such competition may adversely affect the percentage of leased space and the rental revenues of our properties, which could adversely affect our cash flow from operations and our ability to make expected distributions to our stockholders. Some of our competitors may have more

resources than we do or other competitive advantages. Competition may be accelerated by any increase in availability of funds for investment in real estate. For example, decreases in interest rates tend to increase the availability of funds and therefore can increase competition. To the extent that our properties continue to operate profitably, this will likely stimulate new development of competing properties. The extent to which we are affected by competition will depend in significant part on local market conditions.

There is limited potential for revenue to increase from an increase in leased space in our properties.

We anticipate that future increases in revenue from our properties will be primarily the result of scheduled rental rate increases or rental rate increases as leases expire. Properties with higher rates of vacancy are generally located in soft economic markets so that it may be difficult to realize increases in revenue when vacant space is re-leased.

We are subject to possible liability relating to environmental matters, and we cannot assure you that we have identified all possible liabilities.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real property may become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances released on or in its property. Such laws may impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or caused, the release of such hazardous substances. The presence of hazardous substances on a property may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell such property or to borrow using such property as collateral, and it may cause the owner of the property to incur substantial remediation costs. In addition to claims for cleanup costs, the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in the owner incurring substantial liabilities as a result of a claim by a private party for personal injury or a claim by an adjacent property owner for property damage.

In addition, we cannot assure you that:

future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability;

the current environmental conditions of our properties will not be affected by the condition of properties in the vicinity of such properties (such as the presence of leaking underground storage tanks) or by third parties unrelated to us;

tenants will not violate their leases by introducing hazardous or toxic substances into our properties that could expose us to liability under federal or state environmental laws; or

environmental conditions, such as the growth of bacteria and toxic mold in heating and ventilation systems or on walls, will not occur at our properties and pose a threat to human health.

We are subject to compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act and fire and safety regulations, any of which could require us to make significant capital expenditures.

All of our properties are required to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), and the regulations, rules and orders that may be issued thereunder. The ADA has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities,” but generally requires that buildings be made accessible to persons with disabilities. Compliance with ADA requirements might require, among other things, removal of access barriers and noncompliance could result in the imposition of fines by the U.S. government or an award of damages to private litigants.

In addition, we are required to operate our properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations, as they may be adopted by governmental agencies and bodies and become applicable to our properties. Compliance with such requirements may require us to make substantial capital expenditures, which expenditures would reduce cash otherwise available for distribution to our stockholders.

We face risks associated with our Tenants being designated “Prohibited Persons” by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.

Pursuant to Executive Order 13224 and other laws, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) maintains a list of persons designated as terrorists or who are otherwise blocked or banned (“Prohibited Persons”). OFAC regulations and other laws prohibit conducting business or engaging in transactions with Prohibited Persons (the “OFAC Requirements”). Our current leases and certain other agreements require the other party to comply with the OFAC Requirements. If a tenant or other party with whom we contract is placed on the OFAC list we may be required by the OFAC Requirements to terminate the lease or other agreement. Any such termination could result in a loss of revenue or a damage claim by the other party that the termination was wrongful.

Actual or threatened terrorist attacks may adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and the value of our properties.

We have significant investments in markets that may be the targets of actual or threatened terrorism attacks in the future. As a result, some tenants in these markets may choose to relocate their businesses to other markets or to lower-profile office buildings within these markets that may be perceived to be less likely targets of future terrorist activity. This could result in an overall decrease in the demand for office space in these markets generally or in our properties in particular, which could increase vacancies in our properties or necessitate that we lease our properties on less favorable terms or both. In addition, future terrorist attacks in these markets could directly or indirectly damage our properties, both physically and financially, or cause losses that materially exceed our insurance coverage. As a result of the foregoing, our ability to generate revenues and the value of our properties could decline materially. See also “—We may lose capital investment or anticipated profits if an uninsured event occurs.”

We may lose capital investment or anticipated profits if an uninsured event occurs.

We carry, or our tenants carry, comprehensive liability, fire and extended coverage with respect to each of our properties, with policy specification and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties. There are, however, certain types of losses that may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Should an uninsured material loss occur, we could lose both capital invested in the property and anticipated profits.

Contingent or unknown liabilities acquired in mergers or similar transactions could require us to make substantial payments.

The properties which we acquired in mergers were acquired subject to liabilities and without any recourse with respect to liabilities, whether known or unknown. As a result, if liabilities were asserted against us based upon any of these properties, we might have to pay substantial sums to settle them, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and our cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Unknown liabilities with respect to properties acquired might include:

liabilities for clean-up or remediation of environmental conditions;

claims of tenants, vendors or other persons dealing with the former owners of the properties; and

liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business.

Our employee retention plan may prevent changes in control.

During February 2006, our Board of Directors approved a change in control plan, which included a form of retention agreement and discretionary payment plan. Payments under the discretionary plan are capped at 1% of the market capitalization of FSP Corp. as reduced by the amount paid under the retention plan. The costs associated with these two components of the plan may have the effect of discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us and may thereby inhibit a change in control under circumstances that could otherwise give the holders of our common stock the opportunity to realize a greater premium over the then-prevailing market prices.

The price of our common stock may vary.

The market prices for our common stock may fluctuate with changes in market and economic conditions, including the market perception of REITs in general, and changes in the financial condition of our securities. Such fluctuations may depress the market price of our common stock independent of the financial performance of FSP Corp. The market conditions for REIT stocks generally could affect the market price of our common stock.

We would incur adverse tax consequences if we failed to qualify as a REIT.

The provisions of the tax code governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts are very technical and complex, and although we expect that we will be organized and will operate in a manner that will enable us to meet such requirements, no assurance can be given that we will always succeed in doing so. In addition, as a result of our acquisition of the target REITs pursuant to the mergers, we might no longer qualify as a real estate investment trust. We could lose our ability to so qualify for a variety of reasons relating to the nature of the assets acquired from the target REITs, the identity of the stockholders of the target REITs who become our stockholders or the failure of one or more of the target REITs to have previously qualified as a real estate investment trust. Moreover, you should note that if one or more of the REITs that we acquired in April 2006, April 2005 or June 2003 did not qualify as a real estate investment trust immediately prior to the consummation of its acquisition, we could be disqualified as a REIT as a result of such acquisition.

If in any taxable year we do not qualify as a real estate investment trust, we would be taxed as a corporation and distributions to our stockholders would not be deductible by us in computing our taxable income. In addition, if we were to fail to qualify as a real estate investment trust, we could be disqualified from treatment as a real estate investment trust in the year in which such failure occurred and for the next four taxable years and, consequently, we would be taxed as a regular corporation during such years. Failure to qualify for even one taxable year could result in a significant reduction of our cash available for distribution to our stockholders or could require us to incur indebtedness or liquidate investments in order to generate sufficient funds to pay the resulting federal income tax liabilities.

Provisions in our organizational documents may prevent changes in control.

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions, described below, which may have the effect of discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal for us and may thereby inhibit a change of control under circumstances that could otherwise give the holders of our common stock the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market prices.

Ownership Limits. In order for us to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust, the holders of our common stock may be limited to owning, either directly or under applicable attribution rules of the Internal Revenue Code, no more than 9.8% of the lesser of the value or the number of our equity shares, and no holder of common stock may acquire or transfer shares that would result in our shares of common stock being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons. Such ownership limit may have the effect of preventing an acquisition of control of us without the approval of our board of directors. Our Articles of Incorporation give our board of directors the right to refuse to give effect to the acquisition or transfer of shares by a stockholder in violation of these provisions.

Staggered Board. Our board of directors is divided into three classes. The terms of these classes will expire in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. Directors of each class are elected for a three-year term upon the expiration of the initial term of each class. The staggered terms for directors may affect our stockholders’ ability to effect a change in control even if a change in control were in the stockholders’ best interests.

Preferred Stock. Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our board of directors to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share, and to establish the preferences and rights of any such shares issued. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control were in our stockholders’ best interest.

Increase of Authorized Stock. Our board of directors, without any vote or consent of the stockholders, may increase the number of authorized shares of any class or series of stock or the aggregate number of authorized shares we have authority to issue. The ability to increase the number of authorized shares and issue such shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control were in our stockholders’ best interest.

Amendment of Bylaws. Our board of directors has the sole power to amend our Bylaws. This power could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control were in our stockholders’ best interests.

Stockholder Meetings. Our Bylaws require advance notice for stockholder proposals to be considered at annual meetings of stockholders and for stockholder nominations for election of directors at special meetings of stockholders. Our Bylaws also provide that stockholders entitled to cast more than 50% of all the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting must join in a request by stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders. These provisions could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control were in the best interests of our stockholders.

Supermajority Votes Required. Our Articles of Incorporation require the affirmative vote of the holders of no less than 80% of the shares of capital stock outstanding and entitled to vote in order (i) to amend the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation relating to the classification of directors, removal of directors, limitation of liability of officers and directors or indemnification of officers and directors or (ii) to amend our Articles of Incorporation to impose cumulative voting in the election of directors. These provisions could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control even if a change in control were in our stockholders’ best interest.

This obligation is subject to significant conditions. However, as our common stock is currently listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange, we are no longer obligated to, and do not intend to, effect any such redemption.

(2) On October 28, 2005, FSP Corp. announced that the Board of Directors of FSP Corp. had authorized the repurchase of up to $35 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. On September 10, 2007, FSP Corp. announced that the Board of Directors of FSP Corp. had authorized certain modifications to this common stock repurchase plan. The Board of Directors increased the repurchase authorization to up to $50 million of the Company’s common stock (inclusive of all repurchases previously made under the plan). The repurchase authorization expires at the earlier of (i) November 1, 2009 or (ii) a determination by the Board of Directors of FSP Corp. to discontinue repurchases.

STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH

Overview

FSP Corp. or the Company, operates in two business segments: real estate operations and investment banking/investment services. The real estate operations segment involves real estate rental operations, leasing, secured financing of real estate for interim acquisition or other property financing, and services provided for asset management, property management, property acquisitions, dispositions and development. The investment banking/investment services segment involves the structuring of real estate investments and broker/dealer services that include the organization of Sponsored REITs, the acquisition and development of real estate on behalf of Sponsored REITs and the raising of capital to equitize the Sponsored REITs through sale of preferred stock in private placements.

The main factor that affects our real estate operations is the broad economic market conditions in the United States. These market conditions affect the occupancy levels and the rent levels on both a national and local level. We have no influence on the national market conditions. We look to acquire and/or develop quality properties in good locations in order to lessen the impact of downturns in the market and to take advantage of upturns when they occur.

Our investment banking/investment services customers are primarily institutions and high net-worth individuals. To the extent that the broad capital markets affect these investors our business is also affected. These investors have many investment choices. We must continually search for real estate at a price and at a competitive risk/reward rate of return that meets our customer’s risk/reward profile for providing a stream of income and as a long-term hedge against inflation.

Trends and Uncertainties

Debt Market Conditions

Because interest rate levels and the availability of financing may affect real estate values, occupancy levels, property income and the propensity and the ability of investors to invest in Sponsored REITs, debt market conditions could affect our business. The debt market is currently experiencing unprecedented disruptions, including reduced liquidity and increased credit risk premiums for certain market participants. These conditions, which increase the cost and reduce the availability of debt, may continue or worsen in the future. At this time we cannot predict the extent or duration of any negative impact that the current debt market conditions will have on our business.

Real Estate Operations

Our real estate portfolio was approximately 93% leased as of December 31, 2007, as compared to 89% leased as of December 31, 2006 and 91% leased as of September 30, 2007. Two major leases accounted for most of the increase from the end of the third quarter to the end of the fourth quarter of 2007. Approximately 90,000 square feet of space at our property in Silicon Valley that we had renovated and repositioned during 2007 was leased. The other major lease was for approximately 49,000 square feet at one of our greater Denver properties. Our other repositioned property in the greater Seattle/Tacoma area has been slower to lease and remains substantially vacant; however, we believe that this property will continue to lease up over time, if market conditions remain favorable.

The gains from new leasing activity in 2007 were partially offset by the termination of one lease to a subprime lender in the greater Atlanta market. At this time we cannot predict whether the current debt market conditions will have a negative impact on the financial strength of our existing tenants. Accordingly, we have been closely monitoring those tenants in the mortgage lending, development and related industries. As of December 31, 2007, approximately 1% of our total square footage was leased to tenants in the mortgage lending industry and we have taken that credit risk into account in reviewing our reserve for bad debts.

While we cannot predict when existing vacancy will be leased or if existing tenants with expiring leases will renew their leases or what the terms and conditions of the lease renewals will be, we expect to renew or sign new leases at current market rates for locations in which the buildings are located, which in some cases may be below the expiring rental rates. We ended 2007 with strong leasing activity in most of our markets but we have not seen a similar level of activity so far in the beginning of 2008. It is possible that the current debt market conditions and related uncertainty in the greater capital markets will have a negative impact on leasing activity for at least a portion of 2008.

Investment Banking/Investment Services

Unlike our real estate operations business, which provides a rental revenue stream which is ongoing and recurring in nature, our investment banking/investment services business is transactional in nature. Equity raised for Sponsored REIT syndications for 2007 decreased 13.3% to $147.5 million compared to $170.2 million in 2006. Business in this area, while always uncertain, was adversely affected in the third and fourth quarter of 2007 by the recent turmoil in the financial, debt and real estate markets. Investors that have historically participated in our private placement real estate offerings continue to express uncertainty about investing in this environment. Consequently, equity amounts raised by our investment executives in the third and fourth quarter of 2007 dropped significantly from approximately $109 million achieved in the first half of 2007 to approximately $38.2 million achieved in the second half of 2007. At this point, it is unclear when a more visible market environment will return for our investment banking business.

In January 2007, one of our Sponsored REITs purchased an office property located in Chicago, Illinois for investment syndication. Permanent equity capitalization of the property was structured as a private placement preferred stock offering totaling $221 million. This offering was the largest single-investment syndication in our history, and was fully subscribed in the fourth quarter of 2007. We purchased a total of 965.75 shares of preferred stock of this Sponsored REIT at a net cost of $82.8 million. The balance of the offering was subscribed primarily by institutions and high net worth individuals, our traditional customer base. During September 2007, another Sponsored REIT commenced syndication on an office property located in Kansas City, Missouri. Permanent equity capitalization of the property was structured as a private placement preferred stock offering totaling $65 million, which is ongoing as of the beginning of 2008.

Notwithstanding our current syndication in Kansas City, Missouri, our property acquisition executives are now grappling with greater uncertainty surrounding the valuation levels for prime commercial investment real estate. We believe that the current turmoil in the debt markets, as well as perceptions about the future U.S. economy and interest rates, are producing a larger than normal divergence in the perception of value and future relative investment performance of commercial properties. While we generally believe that such an environment has the potential to produce some exceptional property acquisition opportunities, caution, perspective and disciplined underwriting standards can significantly impact the timing of any future acquisitions. Consequently, our ability to provide a regular stream of real estate investment product necessary to grow our overall investment banking/investment services business is uncertain as 2008 begins. We also continue to rely solely on our in-house investment executives to access interested investors who have capital they can afford to place in an illiquid position

for an indefinite period of time (i.e., invest in a Sponsored REIT). We continue to evaluate whether our in-house sales force is capable, either through our existing client base or through new clients, of raising sufficient investment capital in Sponsored REITs to achieve future performance objectives.

Discontinued Operations and Property Dispositions

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company disposed of five office properties. The five office properties are located in Greenville, South Carolina; Alpharetta, Georgia; San Diego, California; Westford, Massachusetts and Austin, Texas. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company disposed of one apartment property and five commercial properties. The apartment property is located in Katy, Texas. The five commercial properties are located in Santa Clara, California; Fairfax and Herndon, Virginia and North Andover and Peabody, Massachusetts. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company disposed of three apartment properties and three commercial properties. The three apartment properties included two that are located in Houston, Texas; and one in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The three commercial properties are located in Folsom, California; Columbia, Maryland and San Diego, California. Accordingly, sold properties as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 are classified as held for sale on our financial statements. The operating results for these real estate assets have been reflected as discontinued operations in the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

We continue to evaluate our portfolio, and in the future may decide to dispose of additional properties from time-to-time in the ordinary course of business. However, because of the current uncertainty surrounding the valuation levels for real estate and the current uncertainty in the capital and debt markets previously discussed, we do not expect the level of disposition activity to be as significant as the prior three years.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have certain critical accounting policies that are subject to judgments and estimates by our management and uncertainties of outcome that affect the application of these policies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. The accounting policies that we believe are most critical to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations, and that require significant management estimates and judgments, are discussed below.

Critical accounting policies are those that have the most impact on the reporting of our financial condition and results of operations and those requiring significant judgments and estimates. We believe that our judgments and estimates are consistently applied and produce financial information that fairly presents our results of operations. Our most critical accounting policies involve our investments in Sponsored REITs and our investments in real property. These policies affect our:

allocation of purchase prices between various asset categories and the related impact on our recognition of rental income and depreciation and amortization expense;

assessment of the carrying values and impairments of long lived assets;

classification of leases; and

revenue recognition in the syndication of Sponsored REITs.

Allocation of Purchase Price

We have historically allocated the purchase prices of properties to land, buildings and improvements. Each component of purchase price generally has a different useful life. For properties acquired subsequent to June 1, 2001, the effective date of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 “Business Combinations,” we allocate the value of real estate acquired among land, buildings, improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, which may consist of the value of above market and below market leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of tenant relationships. Purchase price allocations and the determination of the useful lives are based on management’s estimates. Under some circumstances we may rely upon studies commissioned from independent real estate appraisal firms in determining the purchase price allocations.

Purchase price allocated to land and building and improvements is based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets assuming the property was vacant. Management determines the fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Purchase price allocated to above market leases is based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. Purchase price allocated to in-place leases and tenant relationships is determined as the excess of (i) the purchase price paid for a property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market rental rates over (ii) the estimated fair value of the property as if vacant. This aggregate value is allocated between in-place lease values and tenant relationships is based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease; however, the value of tenant relationships has not been separated from in-place lease value because such value and its consequence to amortization expense is immaterial for acquisitions reflected in our financial statements. Factors considered by us in performing these analyses include (i) an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, including real estate taxes, insurance and other operating income and expenses, and (ii) costs to execute similar leases in current market conditions, such as leasing commissions, legal and other related costs. If future acquisitions result in our allocating material amounts to the value of tenant relationships, those amounts would be separately allocated and amortized over the estimated life of the relationships.

Depreciation Expense

We compute depreciation expense using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of up to 39 years for buildings and improvements, and up to 15 years for personal property. Costs incurred in connection with leasing (primarily tenant improvements and leasing commissions) are capitalized and amortized over the lease period. The allocated cost of land is not depreciated. The value of above or below-market leases is amortized over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases as an adjustment to rental income. The value of in-place leases, exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases, is also amortized over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease is terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease are written off. Inappropriate allocation of acquisition costs, or incorrect estimates of useful lives, could result in depreciation and amortization expenses which do not appropriately reflect the allocation of our capital expenditures over future periods, as is required by generally accepted accounting principles.

Impairment

We periodically evaluate our real estate properties for impairment indicators. These indicators may include declining tenant occupancy, weak or declining tenant profitability, cash flow or liquidity, our decision to dispose of an asset before the end of its estimated useful life or legislative, economic or market changes that permanently reduce the value of our investments. If indicators of impairment are present, we evaluate the carrying value of the property by comparing it to its expected future undiscounted cash flows. If the sum of these expected future cash flows is less than the carrying value, we reduce the net carrying value of the property to the present value of these expected future cash flows. This analysis requires us to judge whether indicators of impairment exist and to estimate likely future cash flows. If we misjudge or estimate incorrectly or if future tenant profitability, market or industry factors differ from our expectations, we may record an impairment charge which is inappropriate or fail to record a charge when we should have done so, or the amount of such charges may be inaccurate.

Lease Classification

Some of our real estate properties are leased on a triple net basis, pursuant to non-cancelable, fixed term, operating leases. Each time we enter a new lease or materially modify an existing lease we evaluate whether it is appropriately classified as a capital lease or as an operating lease. The classification of a lease as capital or operating affects the carrying value of a property, as well as our recognition of rental payments as revenue. These evaluations require us to make estimates of, among other things, the remaining useful life and market value of a property, discount rates and future cash flows. Incorrect assumptions or estimates may result in misclassification of our leases.

Revenue Recognition

We earn syndication and transaction fees in connection with the syndication of Sponsored REITs. This revenue is recognized pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 66 “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate,” and Statement of Position 92-1 “Accounting for Real Estate Syndication Income.” Revenue is recognized provided the criteria for sale accounting in SFAS No. 66 are met. Accordingly, we recognize syndication fees related to commissions when shares of the Sponsored REIT are sold and the investor’s funds have been transferred from escrow into our account. We recognize transaction fees related to loan commitment and acquisition fees upon an investor closing and the subsequent payment of the Sponsored REIT’s loan and fees payable to us. Other transaction fees are recognized upon the final closing of the syndication of the Sponsored REIT.

Ownership of Stock in a Sponsored REIT

Common stock investments in Sponsored REITs are consolidated while the entity is controlled by the Company. Following the commencement of syndication the Company exercises influence over, but does not control these entities and investments are accounted for using the equity method. Once under the equity method of accounting, our cost basis is adjusted by its share of the Sponsored REITs' earnings, if any, prior to completion of the syndication. Equity in losses or dividends received from Sponsored REITs generally are recognized as income once the investment balance is reduced to zero, unless there is an asset held for syndication from the Sponsored REIT entity. Equity in losses or distributions received in excess of investment is recorded as an adjustment to the carrying value of the asset held for syndication.

We recognize our share of the operations during the period we consolidate and when the equity method is appropriate, as opposed to classifying the Sponsored REITs as discontinued operations, because we earn an ongoing asset and/or property management fee from Sponsored REITs. These ongoing fees, in addition to the influence that we exercise over the Sponsored REIT, constitute a continuing involvement between the Company and the Sponsored REIT and preclude treatment as discontinued operations.

We have acquired a preferred stock interest in three Sponsored REITs. As a result of our common stock interest and our preferred stock interest in these three Sponsored REITs, we exercise influence over, but do not control these entities. These preferred share investments are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting our cost basis is adjusted by our share of the Sponsored REITs' operations and distributions received. We also agreed to vote our preferred shares in any matter presented to a vote by the stockholders of these Sponsored REITs in the same proportion as shares voted by other stockholders of the Sponsored REITs.

These policies involve significant judgments made based upon our experience, including judgments about current valuations, ultimate realizable value, estimated useful lives, salvage or residual value, the ability of our tenants to perform their obligations to us, current and future economic conditions and competitive factors in the markets in which our properties are located. Competition, economic conditions and other factors may cause occupancy declines in the future. In the future we may need to revise our carrying value assessments to incorporate information which is not now known and such revisions could increase or decrease our depreciation expense related to properties we own, result in the classification of our leases as other than operating leases or decrease the carrying values of our assets.

Recent Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flow.

Results of Operations

Overview:

During 2005 we acquired the four 2005 Target REITs by merger, acquired two additional properties and sold six properties. During 2006 we acquired the five 2006 Target REITs by merger, acquired three additional properties, made an $4.1 million investment in a Sponsored REIT, sold six properties and reached an agreement to sell another property, which closed on January 31, 2007. During 2007 we acquired one property, made an $82.8 million investment in a Sponsored REIT and sold five properties. As a result of this activity, as of December 31, 2007, we owned 26 properties and increased our investments in non-consolidated REITs.

Mergers and Acquisitions:

On February 24, 2005 we acquired one commercial property in Colorado, on April 30, 2005 we completed the acquisition by merger of the four 2005 Target REITs, and on July 6, 2005 we acquired one commercial property in Indiana. On February 24, 2006 we acquired one commercial property in Texas, on April 30, 2006 we completed the acquisition by merger of the five 2006 Target REITs, on June 27, 2006 we acquired a commercial property in Georgia and on December 21, 2006 we acquired a commercial property in Colorado. On June 13, 2007 we acquired a commercial property in Maryland. The results of operations for each of the acquired or merged properties are included in our operating results as of their respective purchase or merger dates. Increases in rental revenues and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006, or, the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 are primarily a result of the timing of these acquisitions and subsequent contribution of these acquired properties.

Sales of Real Estate:

The sales of real estate in 2005 included the following. On July 13, 2005 we sold one vacant office property in California, and on September 16 and September 19, 2005, we sold a residential apartment building in Louisiana and sold by transfer of our interest in our wholly-owned subsidiary that held the property, an office property in Maryland. On September 29, 2005, we recorded a non-monetary exchange gain of $339,000 from contribution of 2.9 acres of developable land in exchange for 8.5 preferred shares (approximately 3.05%) of a Sponsored REIT, FSP Park Ten Development Corp. On October 4 and October 5, 2005 we sold two residential apartment buildings in Houston, Texas, and on December 8, 2005 we sold a commercial property in San Diego, California.

The sales of real estate in 2006 included the following. On May 24, 2006 we sold an apartment building in Katy, Texas, and on May 31, 2006 we sold two commercial properties, one in Santa Clara, California and another in Fairfax, Virginia. On August 9, 2006 we sold a commercial property in Peabody, Massachusetts, on November 16, 2006 we sold a commercial property in Herndon, Virginia and on December 21, 2006 we sold a commercial property in North Andover, Massachusetts. As of December 31, 2006, we classified a property in Greenville, South Carolina as held-for-sale, which was sold on January 31, 2007.

Additional sales of real estate in 2007 included the following. On June 21, 2007 we sold an office property in Alpharetta, Georgia, and on June 27, 2007 we sold an office property in San Diego, California, on July 16, 2007 we sold an office property in Westford, Massachusetts, and on December 20, 2007 we sold an office property in Austin, Texas.

The operating results of the seventeen properties sold in 2005, 2006 and 2007 are classified as discontinued operations in our financial statements for all periods presented.

Investment Banking:

Revenue for the investment banking/investment services segment is primarily based on the gross proceeds from the sale of securities in the syndications of the Sponsored REITs. We completed the syndication of three Sponsored REITs with total gross proceeds of $138.8 million in 2005 and two Sponsored REITs with total gross proceeds of $170.2 million in 2006. The $31.4 million increase in 2006 compared to 2005 reversed a trend of declines, which had been attributable to difficulty in finding properties that met our investment criteria. During

2007 we completed one syndication of a Sponsored REIT and are in the process of syndicating another Sponsored REIT, for which total gross proceeds from both syndications aggregated $147.5 million in 2007. We believe the decrease of $22.7 million in 2007 compared to 2006 was attributable to the recent turmoil in the financial, debt and real estate markets, which is discussed above in “Trends and Uncertainties”. Revenues and expenses for investment banking/investment services are directly related to the gross proceeds of these syndications.

Our acquisition executives continue to work on other property investment opportunities. However, our investment banking business was negatively impacted by the turmoil in the financial, debt and real estate markets that began in the third quarter of 2007. Business growth in this area is uncertain at the beginning of 2008.

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2007 to the year ended December 31, 2006

Revenues

Total revenues increased by $19.8 million to $127.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $107.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily a result of:

An increase to rental revenue of approximately $17.8 million from real estate arising from the acquisitions of the following properties: a property in Texas during February 2006, the five 2006 Target REITs by merger on April 30, 2006, a property in Georgia in June 2006, a property in Colorado in December 2006 and a property in Maryland in June 2007. The increase was net of a $7.2 million decrease in lease termination payments received. During the year ended December 31, 2007 we received lease termination fee income of $253,000 compared to approximately $7.5 million received from three tenants during the year ended December 31, 2006.

An increase in management fees and interest income from loans of approximately $4.9 million, which was principally a result of interest income from larger average loan balances during the year ended December 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006 for the mortgage loans on the properties in syndication. The impact of this increase was slightly greater as a result of higher interest rates charged during 2007 compared to 2006.

These increases were partially offset by:

A $3.0 million decrease in syndication and transaction (loan commitment) fees, which was principally a result of the decrease in gross syndication proceeds for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.

Expenses

Total expenses were $92.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, or an increase of $23.4 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily a result of:

The increase in real estate operating expenses, real estate taxes and insurance costs of $11.6 million, and depreciation of $8.4 million, which were primarily a result of the acquisitions and mergers discussed above.

An increase in interest expense of $5.2 million resulting primarily from a higher average loan balance outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006, and slightly higher interest rates in 2007 compared to 2006.

These increases were partially offset by:

A decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, which was primarily a result of a decrease in discretionary bonuses. We had 38 employees as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 at our headquarters in Wakefield.

A decrease in commission expense of $0.8 million, which was principally a result of the decrease in gross syndication proceeds for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006.

Interest income

Interest income decreased $0.6 million to $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006, which was primarily a result of a lower average balance of cash, which was partially offset by slightly higher interest rates earned on balances of cash, cash equivalents and other investments between 2007 and 2006.

Equity in earnings (deficit) of non-consolidated REITs

Equity in earnings (deficit) of non-consolidated REITs decreased approximately $1.3 million to a deficit of $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006, which was principally a result of losses attributed to us from the syndications in process during 2007, as compared to income during the year ended December 31, 2006 from syndications and non-consolidated investments.

Taxes on income

Taxes on income decreased $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to lower taxable income from the investment banking and investment services business in the 2007 period compared to 2006, which was principally a result of the decrease in gross syndication proceeds from 2007 compared to 2006. During both periods in 2007 and 2006 we had an effective tax rate of 40.3%. We expect an effective tax rate of approximately 40.3% for our taxable REIT subsidiary in the future.

Income from continuing operations

The resulting income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year ended December 31, 2006 decreased $5.4 million to $36.1 million for the reasons discussed above.

Discontinued operations and gain on sale of assets

During 2006, we sold six properties and classified one property in Greenville, South Carolina as held for sale, which was sold on January 31, 2007. During 2007, we completed the sale of the property in Greenville, South Carolina and sold four additional properties. Accordingly, the eleven properties sold are reported as discontinued operations on our financial statements for the relevant periods presented. Income from discontinued operations was $1.2 million and $7.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2007 we reported $23.8 million as gain on sale of assets and for the year ended December 31, 2006 we reported $61.4 million as net gains on the sale of assets, which are summarized in the tables below:

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2006 to the year ended December 31, 2005

Revenues

Total revenues increased by $34.7 million to $107.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $72.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily a result of:

An increase to rental revenue of approximately $31.1 million from real estate arising from the following: the acquisition of the four 2005 Target REITs by merger on April 30, 2005, acquisitions by direct purchase of a property in Colorado during February 2005, Indiana during July 2005, Texas during February 2006, the acquisition of the five 2006 Target REITs by merger on April 30, 2006, the acquisition of a property in Georgia in late June 2006 and the acquisition of a property in Colorado in late December 2006. In addition, during 2006 we received $7.5 million in termination fees from tenants arising from early termination of leases as compared to $963,000 received in 2005. Collectively, the property acquisitions and termination fee income resulted in the increase in real estate revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005.

A $3.3 million increase in syndication and transaction (loan commitment) fees, which was principally a result of the increase in gross syndication proceeds for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.

An increase in loan interest income of $0.3 million principally as a result of increased loan interest income from interim mortgages made to Sponsored REITs and increases to overall interest rates during the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.

Expenses

Total expenses were $68.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $23.8 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily a result of:

The increase in real estate operating expenses, real estate taxes and insurance of $12.6 million, and depreciation of $10.1 million, which were primarily a result of the acquisitions and mergers in properties discussed above.

An increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.1 million to $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, which was primarily a result of compensation and other costs relating to merger, acquisition and disposition activity and monitoring and managing a larger portfolio of REITs. We had 38 and 39 employees, respectively as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 at our headquarters in Wakefield, Massachusetts.

An increase in commission expense of $0.5 million, which relates to the increase in gross syndication proceeds.

These increases were partially offset by:

A decrease in interest expense of $0.5 million resulting from a lower average loan balance outstanding for syndications in process during the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. A contributing factor was the use of our cash as a source of funds to finance a portion of the syndication of FSP Phoenix Tower Corp., which was completed on September 22, 2006, and the syndication of FSP 50 South Tenth Street Corp., which was substantially completed on December 28, 2006. The decrease was partially offset by higher interest rates and loan fees in the 2006 period than the 2005 period.

Interest income

Interest income increased $1.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of higher interest rates earned on higher average balances of cash, cash equivalents and other investments compared to the year ended December 31, 2005.

Equity in earnings (deficit) of non-consolidated REITs

Equity in earnings (deficit) of non-consolidated REITs decreased $0.5 million, which was principally a result of the timing of investor closings on the syndications in process during the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the syndications in process during the same period in 2005.

Taxes on income

Tax expense increased $0.4 million to $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily due to a greater taxable income from the investment banking and services business in 2006 compared to 2005. During 2006 and 2005 we had an effective tax rate of 40.3%. We expect an effective tax rate of approximately 40.3% for our taxable REIT subsidiary in the future.

Income from continuing operations

The resulting income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased $11.4 million to $41.5 million for the reasons discussed above compared to the year ended December 31, 2005.

Discontinued operations and gain on sale of assets

During 2005, we sold six properties and during 2006, we sold six properties and classified one property in Greenville, South Carolina as held for sale, which was sold on January 31, 2007. During 2007, we completed the sale of the property in Greenville, South Carolina and sold four additional properties. Accordingly, the seventeen properties sold are reported as discontinued operations on our financial statements for the relevant periods presented. Income from discontinued operations was $7.9 million and $14.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2006 we reported $61.4 million as net gain on sale of assets, which were summarized previously in the comparison of the year ended December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2005 we reported $30.5 million as net gains on the sale of assets, which are summarized below:

(1) On September 29, 2005, the Company recorded a non-monetary exchange gain of $0.3 million from contribution of 2.9 acres of developable land contributed in exchange for 8.5 preferred shares (approximately 3.05%) of the Sponsored REIT, Park Ten Development. The appraised value of the land and market value of the stock acquired were used to estimate the sale price, and the gain was recorded net of the Company’s interest in Park Ten Development.

Net Income

The resulting net income for the year ending December 31, 2006 was $110.9 million compared to net income of $75.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $47.0 million and $70.0 million at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. This decrease of $23.0 million is attributable to $70.1 million provided by operating activities less $85.3 million used by investing activities and $7.8 million used for financing activities. Presentation of our consolidated statements of cash flows combines cash flows from continuing operations with those of discontinued operations. Where significant, cash flows from discontinued operations are discussed below. Management believes that existing cash, cash anticipated to be generated internally by operations, cash anticipated to be generated by the sale of preferred stock in future Sponsored REITs and our line of credit will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.

Operating Activities

The cash provided by our operating activities of $70.1 million, which includes $1.2 million of discontinued operations from sales of real estate assets, is primarily attributable to net income of $61.1 million excluding non-cash activity, consisting primarily of the gain on sale of real estate assets of $23.8 million, depreciation and amortization of $35.5 million; plus equity in the loss from non-consolidated REITs of $0.5 million; plus dividends received from non-consolidated REITs of $1.8 million; less payment of deferred leasing commissions of approximately $4.3 million and net uses arising from changes in current assets and current liabilities of $0.7 million.

Investing Activities

Our cash used by investing activities of $85.3 million is attributable to the proceeds from sale of properties of $96.1 million; plus redemption of an investment in a certificate of deposit of $5.1 million; less uses of $81.6 million for acquisitions and additions to real estate investments and office equipment, which includes $0.1 million in additions made to properties sold during 2007; less an investment in non-consolidated REITs of $82.8 million; and less an investment in an asset held for syndication of $22.1 million.

Financing Activities

Our cash used by financing activities of $7.8 million is attributable to approximately $87.7 million of distributions to shareholders and the purchase of our Company’s shares of $4.8 million less proceeds from borrowings under our bank note payable of $84.7 million.

Line of Credit

We have a revolving line of credit agreement with a group of banks providing for borrowings of up to $250 million. On October 19, 2007, we amended the loan agreement that evidences and secures our revolving line of credit to, among other things, increase the amount of borrowings available to use from $150,000,000 to $250,000,000 and to extend the maturity date from August 2008 to August 2011. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at either the bank's prime rate (7.25% at December 31, 2007) or a rate equal to 30 day LIBOR plus 100 basis points (5.6% at December 31, 2007). There were borrowings of $84,750,000 at the 30 day LIBOR plus 100 basis point rate at a weighted average rate of 6.2% outstanding under the line of credit at December 31, 2007. We are in compliance with all bank covenants required by the line of credit.

We have drawn on this line of credit, and intend to draw on this line of credit in the future for a variety of corporate purposes, including the funding of interim mortgage loans to Sponsored REITs and the acquisition of properties that we acquire directly for our portfolio. We typically cause mortgage loans to Sponsored REITs to be secured by a first mortgage against the real property owned by the Sponsored REIT. We make these loans to enable a Sponsored REIT to acquire real property prior to the consummation of the offering of its equity interests, and the loan is repaid out of the offering proceeds. We also may make secured loans to Sponsored REITs for the purpose of funding capital expenditures and other costs which would be repaid from long-term financing of the property, cash flows from the property or a capital event.

Contingencies

From time to time, we may provide financing to Sponsored REITs in the form of a revolving line of credit secured by a mortgage. As of December 31, 2007, we were committed to fund up to $5.5 million to one Sponsored REIT under such an arrangement for the purpose of funding capital expenditures and leasing costs, however no amounts have been drawn.

We may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although occasional adverse decisions (or settlements) may occur, we believe that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Assets Held for Syndication

As of December 31, 2007 we had one asset held for syndication for a property in Kansas City, Missouri. On December 27, 2007 we completed the syndication of FSP 303 East Wacker Drive Corp. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, there were no assets held for syndication.

Assets Held for Sale

As of December 31, 2007 there were no assets held for sale. During 2006 an agreement was reached to sell a commercial property in Greenville, South Carolina at a loss. The property was sold on January 31, 2007. Accordingly, this property was recorded at its approximate net sales price with other properties sold in 2007 and 2006 are classified as held for sale on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2006.

Related Party Transactions

During 2007, we commenced the syndication of FSP Grand Boulevard Corp. and completed the syndications of FSP 50 South Tenth Street Corp. and FSP 303 East Wacker Drive Corp. As part of the syndication of FSP 303 East Wacker Drive Corp., we purchased the final 965.75 shares of its preferred stock for approximately $82.8 million on December 27, 2007, representing approximately a 43.7% interest.

In December 2007, we entered into a secured promissory note for a revolving line of credit, which we refer to as the Revolver, for up to $5.5 million with a Sponsored REIT, FSP Highland Place I Corp., which is available but has not been drawn on. Advances under the Revolver bear interest at a rate equal to the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 200 basis points. The Revolver was made for the purpose of funding capital expenditures and other costs of leasing. We anticipate that any advances made under the Revolver will be repaid at its maturity on November 30, 2010 or earlier from long-term financing of the property, cash flows from the property or a capital event.

For a discussion of transactions between us and related parties during 2006, see Footnote No. 4 “Related Party Transactions” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Other Considerations

We generally pay the ordinary annual operating expenses of our properties from the rental revenue generated by the properties. For the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2006, the rental income exceeded the expenses for each individual property, with the exception of a property located in Westford, Massachusetts, which we sold on July 16, 2007, a property located in Federal Way, Washington, a property located in San Jose, California and a property located in Santa Clara, California that was sold on May 31, 2006. The Westford, Massachusetts property had operating expenses of approximately $190,000 the six and one-half month period ending through July 16, 2007 on which date the property was sold and $238,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The property located in Santa Clara, California had operating expenses of $73,000 for the five month period ending through May 31, 2006 on which date the property was sold.

The single tenant lease at the property located in Federal Way, Washington, expired September 14, 2006. During 2007 we signed leases with two tenants for approximately 12% of the space, which generated rental income of $128,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007. We expect that the property will not produce revenue to cover its expenses in the first quarter of 2008. The property had operating expenses of $614,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The single tenant lease at the property located in San Jose, California, expired December 31, 2006. There is one tenant in the building occupying approximately 19% of the rentable square feet of the property. In December 2007 we signed a lease that will commence in 2008 with another tenant for approximately 62% of the rentable square feet of the property. We had rental income of $422,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007 from the tenant in place and the property had operating expenses of $478,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. We are completing tenant improvements and a repositioning of the property and, as a result, we believe that the property will produce revenue to cover its expenses starting in the first quarter of 2008.

Rental Income Commitments

Our commercial real estate operations include the leasing of office buildings and industrial properties subject to leases with terms greater than one year. The leases thereon expire at various dates through 2019. Approximate future minimum rental income from non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2007 is:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Investments in Sponsored REITs

As part of our business model we organize single-purpose entities that own real estate, purchases of which are financed through the private placement of equity in those entities, typically through syndication. We call these entities Sponsored REITs, and they are operated in a manner intended to qualify as real estate investment trusts. We earn fees related to the sale of preferred stock in the Sponsored REITs in these syndications. The Sponsored REITs issue both common stock and preferred stock. The common stock is owned solely by FSP Corp. Generally the preferred stock is owned by unaffiliated investors, however, we acquired an interest in preferred shares of four Sponsored REITs. In addition, directors and officers of FSP Corp., have from time to time invested in Sponsored REITs and may do so again in the future. Following consummation of the offerings, the preferred stockholders in each of the Sponsored REITs are entitled to 100% of the Sponsored REIT’s cash distributions. Subsequent to the completion of the offering of preferred shares, except for the preferred stock we own, we do not share in any of the Sponsored REIT’s earnings, or any related dividend, and the common stock ownership interests have virtually no economic benefit or risk. Prior to the completion of the offering of preferred shares, we share in a Sponsored REIT’s earnings (and related dividends) to the extent of our ownership interest in the Sponsored REIT.

As a common stockholder, upon completion of the syndication, we have no rights to the Sponsored REIT’s earnings or any related cash distributions. However, upon liquidation of a Sponsored REIT, we are entitled to our percentage interest as a common stockholder in any proceeds remaining after the preferred stockholders have recovered their investment. Our percentage interest in each Sponsored REIT is less than 0.1%. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Sponsored REIT’s preferred stockholders is required for any actions involving merger, sale of property, amendment to charter or issuance of additional capital stock. In addition, all of the Sponsored REITs allow the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding preferred shares to remove (without cause) and replace one or more members of that Sponsored REIT’s board of directors.

Common stock investments in Sponsored REITs are consolidated while the entity is controlled by us. Following the commencement of syndication we exercise influence over, but do not control these entities and investments are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the cost basis is increased by its share of the Sponsored REITs' earnings, if any, prior to completion of the syndication. Equity in losses of Sponsored REITs is not recognized to the extent that the investment balance would become negative and distributions received are recognized as income once the investment balance is reduced to zero, unless there are assets held for syndication from the Sponsored REIT entity. Equity in losses or distributions received in excess of investment is recorded as an adjustment to the carrying value of the asset held for syndication.

We have acquired a preferred stock interest in four Sponsored REITs, including one that the Company acquired by merger on April 30, 2006, which was accounted for as a purchase, and the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair value. As a result of our common stock interest and our preferred stock interest in the remaining three Sponsored REITs, we exercise influence over, but do not control these entities. These preferred share investments are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting our cost basis is adjusted by our share of the Sponsored REITs' operations and distributions received. We also agreed to vote our preferred shares in any matter presented to a vote by the stockholders of these Sponsored REITs in the same proportion as shares voted by other stockholders of the Sponsored REITs.

At December 31, 2007, we held a common stock interest in 12 Sponsored REITs, 11 of which were fully syndicated and from which we no longer share economic benefit or risk. One syndication commenced in September 2007 and was not completed by December 31, 2007. The value of the entity that was not fully syndicated was approximately $26.3 million and was shown on the consolidated balance sheets as an asset held for syndication. At December 31, 2006, we held a common stock interest in ten Sponsored REITs, nine of which were fully syndicated, and one was substantially syndicated, from which we no longer share economic benefit or risk. At December 31, 2005, we held a common stock interest in 13 Sponsored REITs, all of which were fully syndicated and from which we no longer share economic benefit or risk.

The table below shows our income and expenses from Sponsored REITs. Management fees of $20,000, $2,000, and $1,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and interest expense related to the Company’s mortgage on properties is eliminated in consolidation.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, we recorded equity in losses from two Sponsored REITs following the commencement of syndication of $627,000 and during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 we recorded equity in earnings of Sponsored REITs following the commencement of syndication of $664,000 and $1,149,000, respectively.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We were not a party to any derivative financial instruments at or during the year ended December 31, 2007.

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from adverse changes in market prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk, which is sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control. Our line of credit matures in August 2011 and has a variable rate of interest. Upon maturity, our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments will be dependent upon the balance then outstanding and prevalent market interest rates.

We borrow from time-to-time on our line of credit. These borrowings bear interest at the bank’s base rate (7.25% at December 31, 2007) or at 30 day LIBOR plus 100 basis points (5.6% at December 31, 2007), as elected by us when requesting funds as defined. Generally the borrowings are for 30 day LIBOR plus 100 Basis points. As of December 31, 2007, we had two borrowings totaling $84,750,000 in the aggregate at the 30 day LIBOR plus 100 basis point rate, representing a weighted average rate of 6.2%, outstanding under the line of credit. At December 31, 2006 there were no amounts outstanding under our line of credit. We have drawn on this line of credit, and intend to draw on this line of credit in the future for a variety of corporate purposes, including the funding of interim mortgage loans to Sponsored REITs and the acquisition of properties that we acquire directly for our portfolio. Generally interim mortgage loans bear interest at the same variable rate payable by us under our line of credit. We also may draw on this line of credit to fund advances we may make under a $5.5 million revolving credit facility (which we refer to as the Revolver) that we provided to a Sponsored REIT, FSP Highland Place I Corp. in December 2007, which has not yet been drawn on. Advances under the Revolver bear interest at a rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 200 basis points. We therefore believe that we have mitigated our interest rate risk with respect to our borrowings for both interim mortgage and Revolver loans. Historically we have satisfied obligations arising from interim or other financing of acquisitions through cash or sale of properties in our portfolio. We believe that we can mitigate interest rate risk with respect to borrowings for interim or other financing of acquisitions as well.

The following table presents as of December 31, 2007 our contractual variable rate borrowings under the line of credit, which matures August 11, 2011:

	Payment due by period
	(in thousands)
	Total		2008		2009		2010		2011		2012		After 2012
Line of credit	$	84,750	$	84,750	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-
Total	$	84,750	$	84,750	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-

If market rates of our line of credit borrowings at maturity increased by 10%, or approximately 62 basis points, over the current variable rate, the increase in interest expense would decrease future earnings and cash flows by $0.5 million annually. We do not believe that the interest rate risk represented by our variable rate borrowings is material as of December 31, 2007.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

·	Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

·	Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Based on our assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. Please see page F-3.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Franklin Street Properties Corp.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Franklin Street Properties Corp. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Franklin Street Properties Corp. at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Franklin Street Properties Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 21, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Franklin Street Properties Corp.:

We have audited Franklin Street Properties Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Franklin Street Properties Corp.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in Item 9A of Franklin Street Properties Corp.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Franklin Street Properties Corp. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the 2007 consolidated financial statements of Franklin Street Properties Corp. and our report dated February 21, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization

Franklin Street Properties Corp. (“FSP Corp.” or the “Company”), holds, directly and indirectly, 100% of the interest in FSP Investments LLC, FSP Property Management LLC, and FSP Holdings LLC. The Company also has a non-controlling common stock interest in 10 corporations organized to operate as real estate investment trusts ("REITs").

On April 30, 2005, the Company acquired four real estate investment trusts (the “2005 Target REITs”) by the merger of the four 2005 Target REITs with and into four of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. The merger was effective April 30, 2005 and, as a result, the Company issued 10,894,994 shares in a tax-free exchange for all outstanding preferred shares of the 2005 Target REITs. The mergers were accounted for as a purchase and the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair value.

On April 30, 2006, the Company acquired five real estate investment trusts (the “2006 Target REITs”), by the merger of the five 2006 Target REITs with and into five of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. The merger was effective April 30, 2006 and, as a result, the Company issued 10,971,697 shares in a tax-free exchange for all outstanding preferred shares of the 2006 Target REITs. The mergers were accounted for as a purchase and the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair value.

The Company operates in two business segments: real estate operations and investment banking/investment services. FSP Investments LLC provides real estate investment and broker/dealer services. FSP Investments LLC's services include: (i) the organization of REIT entities (the "Sponsored REITs"), which are syndicated through private placements; (ii) sourcing of the acquisition of real estate on behalf of the Sponsored REITs; and (iii) the sale of preferred stock in Sponsored REITs. FSP Property Management LLC provides asset management and property management services for the Sponsored REITs.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Estimates and Assumptions

The Company prepares its financial statements and related notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments in Sponsored REITs

Common stock investments in Sponsored REITs are consolidated while the entity is controlled by the Company. Following the commencement of syndication the Company exercises influence over, but does not control these entities and investments are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company's cost basis is adjusted by its share of the Sponsored REITs' earnings, if any, prior to completion of the syndication. Equity in losses of Sponsored REITs is not recognized to the extent that the investment balance would become negative. Distributions received are recognized as income once the investment balance is reduced to zero, unless there is a loan receivable from the Sponsored REIT entity. Equity in losses or distributions received in excess of common stock investment is recorded as an adjustment up to the carrying value of the assets held for syndication.

Subsequent to the completion of the syndication of preferred shares, the Company does not share in any of the Sponsored REITs’ earnings, or any related distribution, as a result of its common stock ownership.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

On December 27, 2007, the Company purchased 965.75 preferred shares (approximately 43.7%) of a Sponsored REIT, FSP 303 East Wacker Drive Corp. (“East Wacker”), for $82,813,000. On September 22, 2006, the Company purchased 48 preferred shares (approximately 4.6%) of a Sponsored REIT, FSP Phoenix Tower Corp. (“Phoenix Tower”), for $4,116,000. The Company agreed to vote its shares in any matter presented to a vote by the stockholders of East Wacker and Phoenix Tower in the same proportion as shares voted by other stockholders of each Company. The investments in East Wacker and Phoenix Tower are accounted for under the equity method.

Prior to April 2006, the Company held a preferred stock investment in FSP Blue Lagoon Drive Corp. (“Blue Lagoon”), which was one of the 2006 Target REITs acquired by merger on April 30, 2006, and accordingly was eliminated when recording the merger. The Company initially purchased 49.25 preferred shares (approximately 8.2%) of Blue Lagoon on January 30, 2004, and agreed to vote its shares in any matter presented to a vote by the stockholders of Blue Lagoon in the same proportion as shares voted by other stockholders of the Company. The investment in Blue Lagoon was accounted for under the equity method.

On September 29, 2005, the Company acquired 8.5 preferred shares (approximately 3.05%) of a Sponsored REIT, FSP Park Ten Development Corp. (“Park Ten Development”), in exchange for the contribution of 2.9 acres of developable land. The Company agreed to vote its shares in any matter presented to a vote by the stockholders of Park Ten Development in the same proportion as shares voted by other stockholders of the Company. The Company accounts for its investment in Park Ten Development under the equity method.

Real Estate and Depreciation

Real estate assets are stated at the lower of cost, less accumulated depreciation.

Costs related to property acquisition and improvements are capitalized. Typical capital items include new roofs, site improvements, various exterior building improvements and major interior renovations. Costs incurred in connection with leasing (primarily tenant improvements and leasing commissions) are capitalized and amortized over the lease period.

Routine replacements and ordinary maintenance and repairs that do not extend the life of the asset are expensed as incurred. Funding for repairs and maintenance items typically is provided by cash flows from operating activities. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives as follows:

Category	Years
Commercial Buildings	39
Building improvements	15-39
Furniture and equipment	5-7

The Company reviews its properties to determine if their carrying amounts will be recovered from future operating cash flows if certain indicators of impairment are identified at those properties. 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. Since cash flows are considered on an undiscounted basis in the analysis that the Company conducts to determine whether an asset has been impaired, the Company’s strategy of holding properties over the long term directly decreases the likelihood of recording an impairment loss. If the Company’s strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized. If the Company determines that impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value.

Acquired Real Estate Leases and Amortization

The Company accounts for leases acquired via direct purchase of real estate assets, or as a result of a merger, under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141. “Business Combinations”. Accordingly, the Company recorded a value relating to the leases acquired as a result of the acquisition by merger of five and four Sponsored REITs in 2006 and 2005, respectively and one direct acquisition in 2007, three direct acquisitions in 2006 and two direct acquisitions in 2005. Acquired real estate leases represent costs associated with acquiring an in-place lease (i.e., the market cost to execute a similar lease, including leasing commission, legal, vacancy and other related costs) and the value relating to leases with rents above the market rate. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the leases, which range from 17 months to 127 months.

Amortization related to costs associated with acquiring an in-place lease is included in depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of income. Amortization related to leases with rents above the market rate is offset against the rental revenue in the consolidated statements of income. The estimated annual amortization expense for the five years succeeding December 31, 2007 are as follows:

(in thousands)
2008	$	10,898
2009		8,669
2010		5,830
2011		2,858
2012		1,683
2013 and thereafter		3,757

Acquired Unfavorable Real Estate Leases and Amortization

The Company accounts for leases acquired via direct purchase of real estate assets, or as a result of a merger, under the provisions of SFAS No. 141. “Business Combinations”. Accordingly, the Company recorded a value relating to the leases acquired as a result of the acquisition by merger of five and four Sponsored REITs in 2006 and 2005, respectively and one direct acquisition in 2007, three direct acquisitions in 2006 and two direct acquisitions in 2005. Acquired unfavorable real estate leases represent the value relating to leases with rents below the market rate. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the leases, which range from 14 months to 147 months.

Amortization related to leases with rents below the market rate is included with rental revenue in the consolidated statements of income. The estimated annual amortization for the five years succeeding December 31, 2007 are as follows:

(in thousands)
2008	$	809
2009		733
2010		634
2011		498
2012		469
2013 and thereafter		1,262

Discontinued Operations

The Company accounts for properties as held for sale under the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, which typically occurs upon the execution of a purchase and sale agreement and belief by management that the sale or disposition is probable of occurrence within one year. Upon determining that a property is held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the property and reflects the property in its consolidated balance sheets at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less the cost to sell. The Company presents property related to discontinued operations on its consolidated balance sheets as “Assets held for sale” on a comparative basis. The Company reports the results of operations of its properties classified as discontinued operations in its statements of income if no significant continuing involvement exists after the sale or disposition.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had highly liquid debt instruments of United States Government Agencies and/or Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) with a carrying value of $2.0 million at December 31, 2006. The aggregate fair value of these instruments was $2.0 million at December 31, 2006. Gross unrecognized holding gains on these instruments were $13,000 as of December 31, 2006.

Certificate of Deposit

Investment in certificate of deposit consists of investments the Company has the ability and intent to hold until their maturity. As of December 31, 2006 the Company held a certificate of deposit with an original maturity of six months at a carrying value of $5.1 million with an annual interest rate of 5% that matured on April 11, 2007. The Company believes the aggregate fair value is approximately the same as its carrying value.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of tenant security deposits, which are required by law in some states or by contractual agreement and escrows arising from property sales. Tenant security deposits are refunded when tenants vacate, provided that the tenant has not damaged the property. Cash held in escrow is paid when the related issue is resolved.

Tenant Rent Receivables

Tenant rent receivables, which include receivables from assets held-for-sale, are expected to be collected within one year. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its estimate of a tenant’s ability to make future rent payments. The computation of this allowance is based in part on the tenants’ payment history and current credit status.

Concentration of Credit Risks

Cash and cash equivalents are financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk. The Company maintains its cash balances principally in two banks which the Company believes to be creditworthy. The Company periodically assesses the financial condition of the banks and believes that the risk of loss is minimal. Cash balances held with various financial institutions frequently exceed the insurance limit of $100,000 provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Financial Instruments

The Company estimates that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and the bank note payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term maturity and prevailing interest rates.

Straight-line Rent Receivable

Certain leases provide for fixed rent increases over the life of the lease. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the related lease term; however, billings by the Company are based on the lease agreements. Straight-line rent receivable, which is the cumulative revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed by the Company, is $7,387,000 and $4,295,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its estimate of a tenant’s ability to make future rent payments. The computation of this allowance is based in part on the tenants’ payment history and current credit status. During 2007 the Company increased its allowance by $98,000 to $261,000 based on such analysis. The reserve balance was not changed in 2006.

Deferred Leasing Commissions

Deferred leasing commissions represent direct and incremental external leasing costs incurred in the leasing of commercial space. These costs are capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related lease agreements. Amortization expense was approximately $1,371,000, $674,000 and $430,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The estimated annual amortization for the five years following December 31, 2007 is as follows:

(in thousands)
2008	$	1,586
2009		1,496
2010		1,353
2011		1,215
2012		1,036
2013 and thereafter		2,500

Common Share Repurchases

The Company recognizes the gross cost of the common shares it repurchases as a reduction in stockholder’s equity using the treasury stock method. Maryland law does not recognize a separate treasury stock account but provides that shares repurchased are classified as authorized but unissued shares. Accordingly, the Company reduces common stock for the par value and the excess of the purchase price over the par value is a reduction to additional paid-in capital.

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenue includes income from leases, certain reimbursable expenses, straight-line rent adjustments and other income associated with renting the property. A summary of rental revenue is shown in the following table:

	Year Ended
(in thousands)	December 31,
	2007			2006			2005
Income from leases	$	79,916		$	73,304		$	44,983

	$	100,961		$	83,147		$	51,983

Rental Revenue — The Company has retained substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the Company's commercial properties and accounts for its leases as operating leases. Rental income from leases, which includes rent concessions (including free rent and tenant improvement allowances) and scheduled increases in rental rates during the lease term, is recognized on a straight-line basis. The Company does not have any significant percentage rent arrangements with its commercial property tenants. Reimbursable costs are included in rental income in the period earned.

The Company follows the requirements for profit recognition as set forth by SFAS No. 66 "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate" and Statement of Position 92-1 "Accounting for Real Estate Syndication Income".

Syndication Fees — Syndication fees ranging from 4% to 8% of the gross offering proceeds from the sale of securities in Sponsored REITs are generally recognized upon an investor closing; at that time the Company has provided all required services, the fee is fixed and collected, and no further contingencies exist. Commission expense ranging from 2% to 4% of the gross offering proceeds is recorded in the period the related syndication fee is earned. There is typically more than one investor closing in the syndication of a Sponsored REIT.

F-14

Franklin Street Properties Corp.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Transaction Fees — Transaction fees relating to loan commitment fees and acquisition fees are recognized upon an investor closing and the subsequent payment of the Sponsored REIT’s loan to the Company. Development fees are recognized upon an investor closing and once the service has been provided. Fees related to organizational, offering and other expenditures are recognized upon the final investor closing of the Sponsored REIT. The final investor closing is the last admittance of investors into a Sponsored REIT; at that time, required funds have been received from the investors and charges relating to the syndication have been paid or accrued.

Other – Other income, including property and asset management fees, is recognized when the related services are performed and the earnings process is complete.

Income Taxes

Taxes on income for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 represent taxes incurred by FSP Investments, which is a taxable REIT subsidiary.

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares were exercised or converted into shares. There were no potential dilutive shares outstanding at December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005. The denominator used for calculating basic and diluted net income per share was 70,651,000, 67,159,000, and 56,847,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

Recent Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flow.

Reclassifications

Certain balances in the 2006 and 2005 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to 2007 presentation. The reclassifications primarily were related to disposition of five properties sold as of December 31, 2007, which are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. These reclassifications changed rental revenues, operating and maintenance expenses, depreciation and amortization, other income and the related assets. The 2006 financial statements were also reclassified to reflect repurchases of common shares as a reduction of common stock for the par value and the excess of the purchase price over the par value as a reduction additional paid-in capital to conform to 2007 presentation. There was no change to net income for any period presented as a result of these reclassifications.

3. Business Segments

The Company operates in two business segments: real estate operations (including real estate leasing, interest income on interim acquisition and other financing and asset/property management) including discontinued operations and investment banking/investment services (including real estate acquisition, development services and broker/dealer services). The Company has identified these segments because this information is the basis upon which management makes decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the “Significant Accounting Policies”. The Company’s operations are located in the United States of America.

The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on Funds From Operations (“FFO”) as management believes that FFO represents the most accurate measure of the reportable segment’s activity and is the basis for distributions paid to equity holders. The Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments to exclude non-cash income (or losses) from non-consolidated or Sponsored REITs, plus distributions received from non-consolidated or Sponsored REITs.

FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance, nor as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company’s needs. Other real estate companies may define this term in a different manner. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the results of the Company, FFO should be examined in connection with net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in the consolidated financial statements. The calculation of FFO by business segment is shown in the following table:

Equity in earnings of investments in Sponsored REITs is derived from the Company’s share of income following the commencement of syndication of Sponsored REITs. Following the commencement of syndication the Company exercises influence over, but does not control these entities, and investments are accounted for using the equity method.

Equity in earnings of Blue Lagoon is derived from the Company’s preferred stock investment in the entity. In January 2004 the Company purchased 49.25 preferred shares or 8.22% of Blue Lagoon for $4,248,000 (which represented $4,925,000 at the offering price net of commissions of $394,000 and loan fees of $283,000 that were excluded). Blue Lagoon was one of the 2006 Target REITs that the Company acquired by merger on April 30, 2006 at which time the preferred stock investment was canceled and the merger was accounted for as a purchase, and the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair value.

Equity in earnings of Park Ten Development is derived from the Company’s preferred stock investment in the entity. In September 2005 the Company acquired 8.5 preferred shares or 3.05% of Park Ten Development via a non-monetary exchange of land valued at $850,000. The Sponsored REIT was syndicated and construction was substantially completed in December 2006. During 2007 the leasing of the commercial property commenced.

Equity in earnings of Phoenix Tower is derived from the Company’s preferred stock investment in the entity. In September 2006 the Company purchased 48 preferred shares or 4.6% of the outstanding preferred shares of Phoenix Tower for $4,116,000 (which represented $4,800,000 at the offering price net of commissions of $384,000 and fees of $300,000 that were excluded).

Equity in the loss of East Wacker is derived from the Company’s preferred stock investment in the entity. In December 2007 the Company purchased 965.75 preferred shares or 43.7% of the outstanding preferred shares of East Wacker for $82,813,000 (which represented $96,575,000 at the offering price net of commissions of $7,726,000, loan fees of $5,553,000 and acquisition fees of $483,000 that were excluded).

Non-consolidated REITs

The Company has in the past acquired by merger entities similar to the Sponsored REITs, including on April 30, 2005, the four 2005 Target REITs, and on April 30, 2006, the five 2006 Target REITs. The Company’s business model for growth includes the potential acquisition by merger in the future of Sponsored REITs. However, the Company has no legal or any other enforceable obligation to acquire or to offer to acquire any Sponsored REIT. In addition, any offer (and the related terms and conditions) that might be made in the future to acquire any Sponsored REIT would require the approval of the boards of directors of the Company and the Sponsored REIT and the approval of the shareholders of the Sponsored REIT.

The operating data below for 2007 includes operations of the 12 Sponsored REITs the Company held an interest in as of December 31, 2007. The operating data below for 2006 includes operations of the 10 Sponsored REITs the Company held an interest in as of December 31, 2006 and five 2006 Target REITs from January through April 30, 2006.

Syndication fees and Transaction fees:

The Company provided syndication and real estate acquisition advisory services for Sponsored REITs. Syndication, development and transaction fees from non-consolidated entities amounted to approximately $18,884,000, $21,955,000, and $18,680,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Management fees and interest income from loans:

Asset management fees range from 1% to 5% of collected rents and the applicable contracts are cancelable with 30 days’ notice. Asset management fee income from non-consolidated entities amounted to approximately $867,000, $627,000, and $672,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company is typically entitled to interest on funds advanced to Sponsored REITs. The Company recognized interest income of approximately $6,163,000, $1,456,000, and $1,135,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, relating to these loans.

In December 2007, we entered into a secured promissory note for a revolving line of credit (Revolver) for up to $5.5 million with a Sponsored REIT, FSP Highland Place I Corp., which is available but has not been drawn on. Advances under the Revolver bear interest at a rate equal to the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 200 basis points. The Revolver was made for the purpose of funding capital expenditures and other costs of leasing. We anticipate that any advances made under the Revolver will be repaid at its maturity on November 30, 2010 or earlier from long term financing of the property, cash flows of the property or some other capital event.

5. Bank Note Payable

The Company has a revolving line of credit agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with a group of banks providing for borrowings at the Company’s election of up to $250,000,000. During October 2007 the line of credit was amended and restated, and the maturity date was extended to August 11, 2011. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at either the bank's prime rate (7.25% at December 31, 2007) or a rate equal to LIBOR plus 100 basis points (5.6% at December 31, 2007). There were borrowings of $84,750,000 at the LIBOR plus 100 basis point rate at a weighted average rate of 6.2% outstanding under the line of credit at December 31, 2007. There was no balance outstanding at December 31, 2006 or 2005. The weighted average interest rate on amounts outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was approximately 6.51% and 6.39%, respectively.

The Loan Agreement includes restrictions on property liens and requires compliance with various financial covenants. Financial covenants include the maintenance of at least $1,500,000 in operating cash accounts, a minimum unencumbered cash and liquid investments balance and tangible net worth; limitations on permitted secured debt and compliance with various debt and operating income ratios, as defined in the Loan Agreement. The Company was in compliance with the Loan Agreement's financial covenants as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. Borrowings under the Loan Agreement mature on August 11, 2011.

6. Stockholders’ Equity

Equity-Based Compensation

On May 20, 2002, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan is an equity-based incentive compensation plan, and provides for the grants of up to a maximum of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock ("Awards"). All of the Company's employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors are eligible to be granted awards. Awards under the Plan are made at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors, and have no vesting requirements. Upon granting an Award, the Company will recognize compensation cost equal to the fair value of the Company's common stock, as determined by the Company's Board of Directors, on the date of the grant.

The Company did not issue any shares under the Plan in 2006. In March 2005 the Company issued 1,750 shares to certain officers and employees under the Plan with an estimated value of $31,000. Shares issued were fully vested on the date of issuance. The Equity-based compensation charge of $31,000 is included in selling, general & administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2005.

7. Federal Income Tax Reporting

General

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). As a REIT, the Company generally is entitled to a tax deduction for distributions paid to its shareholders, thereby effectively subjecting the distributed net income of the Company to taxation at the shareholder level only. The Company must comply with a variety of restrictions to maintain its status as a REIT. These restrictions include the type of income it can earn, the type of assets it can hold, the number of shareholders it can have and the concentration of their ownership, and the amount of the Company’s taxable income that must be distributed annually.

One such restriction is that the Company generally cannot own more than 10% of the voting power or value of the securities of any one issuer unless the issuer is itself a REIT or a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). In the case of TRSs, the Company’s ownership of securities in all TRSs generally cannot exceed 20% of the value of all of the Company’s assets and, when considered together with other non-real estate assets, cannot exceed 25% of the value of all of the Company’s assets. Effective January 1, 2002, a subsidiary of the Company, FSP Investments, became a TRS. As a result, FSP Investments, which is part of the Company’s investment banking/investment services segment, operates as a taxable corporation under the Code and has accounted for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.

Income taxes are recorded based on the future tax effects of the difference between the tax and financial reporting bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. In estimating future tax consequences, potential future events are considered except for potential changes in income tax law or in rates.

The Company’s adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007 did not result in recording a liability, nor was any accrued interest and penalties recognized with the adoption of FIN 48. Accrued interest and penalties will be recorded as income tax expense, if the Company records a liability in the future. The Company’s effective tax rate was not affected by the adoption of FIN 48. The Company and one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations for the Company’s income tax returns is generally three years and as such, the Company’s returns that remain subject to examination would be primarily from 2004 and thereafter.

Net operating losses

Section 382 of the Code restricts a corporation's ability to use net operating losses (“NOLs") to offset future taxable income following certain "ownership changes." Such ownership changes occurred with past mergers and accordingly a portion of the NOLs incurred by the Sponsored REITs available for use by the Company in any particular future taxable year will be limited. To the extent that the Company does not utilize the full amount of the annual NOLs limit, the unused amount may be carried forward to offset taxable income in future years. NOLs expire 20 years after the year in which they arise, and the last of the Company’s NOLs will expire in 2024. A valuation allowance is provided for the full amount of the NOLs as the realization of any tax benefits from such NOLs is not assured. In 2005, the Company used $2,595,000 of NOLs in connection with amending a prior year tax return. In 2006 the Company used $3,722,000 of NOLs in connection with its 2005 tax return. The gross amount of NOLs available to the Company were $12,376,000, $10,953,000, and $8,813,000 as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Tax Rates

The income tax expense reflected in the consolidated statements of income relates only to the TRS. The expense differs from the amounts computed by applying the Federal statutory rate to income before taxes as follows:

	For the years ended December 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2007				2006				2005

Federal income tax expense at statutory rate	$	546	34.0	%	$	709	34.0	%	$	356	34.0	%
Increase (decrease) in taxes resulting from:
State income taxes, net of federal impact		101	6.3	%		130	6.3	%		66	6.3	%
Taxes on income	$	647	40.3	%	$	839	40.3	%	$	422	40.3	%

Franklin Street Properties Corp.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

7. Federal Income Tax Reporting (continued)

Taxes on income are a current tax expense. No deferred income taxes were provided as there were no material temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the TRS.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company’s net tax basis of its real estate assets is less than the amount set forth in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets by $79,923,000 and $94,754,000, respectively.

8. Commitments

The Company's commercial real estate operations include the leasing of office buildings and industrial properties subject to leases with terms greater than one year. The leases expire at various dates through 2019. The following is a schedule of approximate future minimum rental income on non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2007:

(in thousands)	Year ended December 31,

2008	$	81,319
2009		76,009
2010		61,856
2011		49,408
2012		39,305
Thereafter (2013-2019)		108,906
	$	416,803

The Company leases its corporate office space under an operating lease that was amended in 2007 and has a three year renewal option. The lease includes a base annual rent and additional rent for the Company's share of taxes and operating costs. Future minimum lease payments are as follows:

(in thousands)	Year ended December 31,
2008	$	322
2009		336
2010		196
Thereafter		-
	$	854

Rent expense was approximately $284,000, $301,000 and $273,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and is included in selling, general and administration expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

In December 2007, the Company entered into a secured promissory note for a revolving line of credit (Revolver) for up to $5.5 million with a Sponsored REIT, FSP Highland Place I Corp., which is available but has not been drawn on. Advances under the Revolver bear interest at a rate equal to the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 200 basis points. The loan was made for the purpose of funding capital expenditures and other costs of leasing. We anticipate that any advances made under the Revolver will be repaid at its maturity on November 30, 2010 or earlier from long term financing of the property, cash flows of the property or some other capital event.

9. Retirement Plan

In 2006, the Company established a 401(k) plan to cover eligible employees, which permits deferral of up to $15,000 per year (indexed for inflation) into the 401(k) plan, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. An employee’s elective deferrals are immediately vested upon contribution to the 401(k) plan. The Company matches employee contributions to the 401(k) plan dollar for dollar up to 3% of each employee’s annual compensation up to $200,000. In addition, we may elect to make an annual discretionary profit-sharing contribution. The Company’s total contribution under the 401(k) plan amounted to $138,000 and $133,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

In 1999, the Company began a retirement savings plan for eligible employees, which was replaced by the 401(k) plan in 2006. Under the plan, the Company annually matched participant contributions up to the maximum allowed by tax regulations. The Company's total contribution under the plan amounted to approximately $158,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.

10. Discontinued Operations

During 2006 the Company sold six properties, each of which was sold at a gain. The Company also reached an agreement to sell another commercial property, located in Greenville, South Carolina, which sold on January 31, 2007 at a loss. In evaluating the Greenville, South Carolina property, the Company compared estimated future costs to upgrade and reposition the multi-tenant property and to lease up the building. The Company concluded that accepting the offer was the more prudent decision because the management time and oversight of such a project outweighed the potential future benefit.

In May 2007, the Company reached an agreement to sell a property located in Westford, Massachusetts, which sold on July 16, 2007 at a gain. During June 2007, the Company sold a property located in Alpharetta, Georgia at a gain and a property located in San Diego, California at a gain. During December 2007, the Company sold a property located in Austin, Texas at a gain. Accordingly, all of the properties sold during 2007 are classified as assets held for sale as of December 31, 2006.

Accordingly, all of the properties sold are classified as discontinued operations on our financial statements. Income from discontinued operations of these properties was approximately $1.2 million, $7.9 million and $14,486 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2007 the Company reported $23.8 million as gain on sale of properties. For the year ended December 31, 2006 the Company reported $61.4 million as gain on sale of properties including a provision for loss on the property held for sale. For the year ended December 31, 2005 the Company reported $30.5 million as net gains on sale of properties.

During the year ended December 31, 2007 gains on sales of properties and a provision for loss from assets held for sale were recognized and are summarized below:
